Remarkably successful in the last

Carolina Cornell, Colgate and
Georgetown also tentatively are
scheduled, although the list has not
been okayed by the front office.
The Eagles even are sprouting
wings in track under the guidance of
Dick Gentle, one-time crack hurdler
at Penn. Its medley sprint relay fin

week, and Bob Dixon was third in
the A. A. U. 880-yard run. On the
relay team were Leroy Cook, Bill
Adams, Dixon and Otto Streits-
berger American never has been
truly formidable in track, but time
and Gentle should make a differ

This adds up to an extensive pro-
gram for Cassell and his boys, but
Staff still isn't satisfied. Remember,
there are 180 men eligible for
varsity sports and only 100 out.

ices are needed in other sports.
Most of them will spend at least
four weeks on football and freshmen

don't care how good they were last

1t seemed that Faber had revived
the old ditty so popular when papa
was a boy, Everybody Works But

father who liked to sit around all

they're taking it like soldiers. You'd
think We were playing a big game

Usually the boys want to skip
football and get into lacrosse or
basket ball when the weather clears
up," said AL Heagy, third member OF
the board. But this group seems
satisfied to keep on with football
I've got my fingers crossed, though.
Warmer weather may give 'em
touch of spring fever, and you can't
play football with that"
Showing strongly in early drills
have been Luther Conrad, a fair end
and tackle last year, who may be
shifted to blocking back, and
Elmer Rigby, a halfback, who saw
no competition last autumn because
OF a broken hand. Bob Smith, a

Hos to Be DESTROYED

This turn was on the cheerful side
About this time the California owner
had another great entry coming
along-Sorteado, the Man O. War OF
South American racing.
Sorteado cost Howard something
like $4,000. 1t took some months
to get the South American flyer
acclimated and ready for Northern
racing, but once ready he appeared
to be a whirlwind. He not only re-
gan to win. but to win in record
time. You couldn't have bought Sor-
teado from Howard for S250,000.
And then on fall afternoon in
the East. Sorteado found bad foot
ing. broke a leg and had to be de-
destroyed.
Counting the first two big handi-
caps and the accident, here was a
matter of close to S500,O00 lost by
an inch or so and a hole in the
ground.
This new year started off rather
bleakly for Howard Kayak, rated
a sure thing for the 100000 party,

Seabiscuit was on his way back, but
he, also, was taking rival dust.

Howard Has Run Scale
In Good and Bad Luck

MIAMI BEACH, March 7 (NA.-

known as many varied turns OF luck,
good and bad, up and down, as
Charles S. Howard, who owns Sea-
biscuit and Kayak II.
You might figure there was enough
pleasant luck right here, in these
two names, to leave the big margin
on the right side. And this would be
true. But still it doesn't show how
many ways the top of fate has spun
for the California owner.
For example, there were the first
two times Seablscuit was beaten in
the 100000 Santa Anita Handicap
by photo finishes. There isn't much
cheerful luck in losing around $780,
600 by matter of an inch or so.
Especially with all racing luck run
ming against you on both occasions.

Sun Beau's all-time winning
mark, Old RaWhide broke down.

the farm.

pose in peace of making us secure,
in war of achieving victory, 1t is
plain that we cannot continue as in
the past making plans for defense
without some definite idea Of what
we are going to defend; the Army
and Navy cannot decide what they
need until they know what they are
going to have to do with 1t.
Permanent Committee Suggested.
The point is well taken that the
major decision of this sort which
now confronts us is whether we are
going to prepare for the defense Of
the Western Hemisphere, or whether
we are going to plan for military ad-
ventures overseas. We ought to re-
solve this problem, just as we ought
to have some coordination between
the eight committees and sub-com-
mittees of Congress (now operating
in ter-tight compartments, Jeal-
Gus of their prerogatives) which
have to do with defense matters. A
permanent committee Of national
defense, to include proper congress
sional representation from the de-
fense committees, plus the Secre-
taries of State, Treasury, War, Navy
and Commerce, the Chief Of Stah Of
the Army, and the Chief Of Naval
Operations, working under the
President as chairman, and with a
permanent secretariat and a Nation
al Defense College for the study Of
particular problems, would 60 long

work coud be confided to subcom-
mittees, which might include addi-
tional members from the services
and civilians. A few distinguished
civilians and retired officers of broad
experience might be added to the
main committee, at least at first.
We are all agreed that the country
must be adequately defended. But
we cannot know what adequate de-
fense Is until we have some sort Of a
basic plan, derived from study and
inquiry. If we simply 60 on pouring
out millions for defense" without
such plan, inevitably we shall come
to the day when the voters will re-
coil from such methods perhaps to
the grave impairment of our ma

In a country whose institutions

tudes, national defense is too i'm

staff are charged with co-ordjnat-
ing the three services In operation,
while details are left to the sub
ordinate chiefs Of staff. There Is
a school for the higher study Of
war, of which Gen. Requin is now
director, having just succeeded the
distinguished French naval writer,
Admiral Castex. This system has
not yet been In existence long
enough to have q real trial, but 1t
has so far not worked as easily
as the more flexible British system
There has been a great deal Of
criticism and friction Cat least be-
fore the war;.
In Germany, the organization of
the national defense is based on
the so-called er-principle Fueh-
rer prinzip). This in effect means
that Adolf Hitler is his own min
lister of war or commander in chief
(his title in this respect is Oberster
Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht). He
has q combined personal staff from
the three services (Oberkommando
der Wehrmacht) Of which the chief
is Col. Gen. Keitel. The commander
In chief Of the army is Col. Gen. Won
Brauchitsch; of the navy, Grand
Admiral Raeder. There is no war
minister or navy minister other than
Hitler. The air minister and COM
mander in chief of the air force is
Field Marshal Goering, with Col.
Gen. Mich as his chief of staff.
Air Force More Flexible.
This arrangement gives the air
force, in practice, greater degree
of independence than is possessed
by the other two services. How
ever, there appears to be excellent
coordination as far as operations
are concerned between the air force
and the two surface forces, as eX-
emplified by the Polish campaign
and the operations in the North Sea.
When it comes to co-ordinated
planning for the general course OF
the war, there are rumors Of grave
dissensions leading to a certain
amount of hesitation and lack OF
concentrated direction Of effort.
These rumors lack confirmation.
All this is of interest to Ameri-
cans, not only as observers OF the
present hostilities, but because
there is increasingly evident a need
for some sort of co-ordinated plan
ming of our own defense. We have
no body resembling the Committee
of Imperial Defense, though we
ought to have. We do not need a
combined national defense depart
ment; indeed, for a power whose
defense, like ours, is primarily naval,
1t is essential that the Navy retain
full freedom of action, and there is
no instance of combined naval and
land command succeeding in war
Providence never apparently having
made an individual capable of exer-
cising such powers. Nevertheless,
