BY the Associated Press.

TULSA, Dec. fart hur j
Dutch Bergman, director of ath-
letics and head football coach at
Catholic University, was among half
a dozen possibilities mentioned to-
day as a successor to Chef Benefel,
resigned Tulsa grid coach.
We led the Golden Hurricanes to
the Missouri Valley Conference
championship this season, but Bene-
fiel presented his resignation yester-
day because of what he called
criticism" His supporters still are
rallying around him, but Benefel-
the first Tulsa player who rose from
the ranks to become froSh coach
and assistant varsity coach before
assuming the head job-tries to dis
courage them.
Although the Tulsa Athletic Board
notified Backfield Coach Harold
Wickersham that his contract would
not be renewed, it declined to &C
cept the resignation of Barton
(Botchy) Koch, line coach, which
was submitted two weeks ago.
One of the contributing factors to
the shakeup, it is reported, has been
disagreement between Benefiel and
Koch since midSeason on coaching
tactics, starting lines and substitu-
lions.
Bergman's name was brought up
in the consideration of a new coach
along with such personages as
Francis Schmidt of Ohio State,
Dutch Meyer of Texas Christian,
Fred Thomson of Arkansas, Norman
Strader of St. Mary's (Calif) and
Elmer GLOOMY GUS Henderson,
like Schmidt, a former Tulsa coach.
Mr.. Bergman, at his home here,
told The Star that he had heard
nothing about any offer to go to
Tulsa, and indicated he is satisfied
at c. u, where he has been for
decade.

Guarantee Offered
For Archibald

Al WE'LL, who manages joey Arch
ibald, former world featherWeight
champion, claims his fighter still
is a drawing card in Washington
in spite of the Griffith Stadium
f1asco of a year ago and is baking
at the $3.50 guarantee offered for
a match at Turner's Arena against
Billy Banks.
The "Wesket" wants nothing less
than ST 900 to bring his boy here for
the December Is date suggested.
The impasSe is expected to be ironed
out tomorrow with Promoter Joe
Turner baking at raising the ante
in view of the fact that Archibald
since last year has lost his crown
to the National Boxing Association.
Turner wants joey here to open
up the renovated arena, which
should be ready by then with a
seating capacity of 5000.
Even at that Turner doesn't see
how he can get 81 900 for Archibald.
Last season he and his associates
raised $4,000 when Archibald risked
his title against Harry Jeffra of
Baltimore but that was in an out
door affair at Griffith Stadium.

Deer Boss.

Deer Boss:
have to report Il understand the
duty of a reporter is to do that
that as far as your two budding
Daniel Boones are concerned, the
four-legged deer in Garrett County
or anywhere else in Maryland, are
perfectly safe. They can go on
doing whatever deer do to keep so
we'll and out of sight far, far into
the future and Francis Stan and
myself won't care. We can take
our deer or leave them alone; that
is, we could take 'em If we could
block out two ifs" IF" we could
find them, and eff" We could hit 'em.
Furthermore Stan and I held a
meeting of minds out there on a
snowbound hillside 5000 feet up in
the Maryland ozone, and decided
that fishing is our racket in personal
sports. Don't you remember how
we Wangled an extra days vacation
last winter; of how we are big game
fishermen from way back? And
how comfortable we told you it is
in the aft seat of a cruiser in the
Gulf Stream, without a deer or
anything else to get in your hair.
Hunters Get Cold Reception.
And furthermore, we agreed that
if all the deer in Maryland, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania came
marching in string across one of
those slippery woods roads, we
wouldn't care There are more i'm
portant things in life than venison,
and freezing by night and by day,
and chilblains, and frost bitten
hands and noses.
That, briefly, is all we got. Stan,
who claims to be a mountaineer
Chiefly, am sure. because he has
long legs, didn't see anything NOV
ing in two days in the deep. cold
woods. He wouldn't tend the fire
in the cabin at night, and he
shivered so the whole house shook.
If he rhumbas as well he is a
champion.
And above all those things, even
though We were pretty good at a
still target at rs yards back home,
we probably would have gouged out

ERA OF ENCHANTMENT PASSES

Not many years ago men were saying
that warfare in the future would be so
horrible that nations would not dare to re-
sort to war
There was even talk about the pres
sure of world opinion to restrain belli-
gerent from dropping bombs upon i'll
nocent civilians. The moral force of civil
izaton, it was asserted, would prevent
ruthless attacks upon helpless men, women
and children.
AS an indication of modern warfare
we note that the King of Great Britain has
created new awards for gallantry for ''men
and women civilians in all walks of life"
and that ''the George Cross will rank next
to the Victoria Cross,' Great Britan's
highest award.
The new award is for gallantry shown
by civilians in meeting the perilS and dam
gers that come from air raids and the
bombirgs of civilian populations.
The era of enchantment which led the
democracies of the world to follow the
dream of peace by disarmament has
vanished completely. Instead the peoples
of democratic nations realize the necessity
of arming themselves to defend their free
institutions. They have witnessed the fall
Of small nations, short of defensive means
but long on neutrality, good will and the
belief in the moral force of civilization.
Hitler has taught the world some
things, but iii the end, the most valuable
lesson that he has given US is the demon
stration of the futility of pledges and the

THE FRENCH AMAZE US

The French planes, which recently
bombed the British fortress at Gibraltar,
are said to have been "American-made
Martin bombers, piloted by French filters. ;"
The anxiety of this nation to assist
France to resist aggression results in CIV
ing the Vichy government the means of
striking at its former ally, which is farce
in view of our efforts to aid the British.
We confess that we have lost all re-
spect for the Vichy regime. After bowling
to the German invader these Frenchmen
seem not only willing, but anxious, to do
some of their dirty work.
Every intelligent Frenchman ought to
know that, despite the talk of blow for
blow" the only chance for the establish
ment of a free French government depends
upon the victory of Great Britain.
Consequently, it is little short of
amazing that any French government, re-
gardless of what it has to do to appease the
Nazi army of occupation, should put any
impeachment in the way of British success.

PENETRATOR PENS

The temperature in Tampa was
62 degrees one morning recently.
We thought with longing, about
our feather mattress, still in a
camp storage-room in Key West.
Fortunately we have what seems
to be a never-cnding supply of
feathers, so we set to work to
make a new feather mattress and
feather comforter. Our source
of supply of feathers, is volum-
inous feather mattress that was
handed down to us by Aunt AL
lie.
Aunt Allie died at the age of
rs in New England but she had
homesteaded in Florida in the
1905. in a town that was called
Manifold. Manifold was in
tending to be the county seat,
until the railroad was run
through Inverness, then Inver-
ness became the county seat and
Mannfteld vanished entirely.
One year we went to Inverness
and hunted up another old home
Steader who had been a neighbor
of Aunt Allies. He took us out
into the piney woods and we
tried to locate Manifold. He
knew the section we'll enough
but there was not one stick nor
stone left to show the location of
the center of the little town of
Manifold Everything had gone
back to Nature as completely as
though man had never lived
there Except one thing. that we
had almost given up hope of
finding, the grave yard.
It was nearing sundown and
we had tramped through the
woods to one spot that the old
homesteader recognized. It was
now only a sink hole. where once
there had been lake. 1t was on
the shore of this lake that Aunt
Allies father had set up his boot
and saddle shop. Even though
Manifold died and Inverness
lived, Great-uncle Oscar stayed
in Manifold to die and was
buried there We were hunting
his grave In the fading light of
evening. against Aiite setting sun
We saw a lone sentinel 1t was
one grave stone 4eft standing. We
pushed our way through the
brush to the hilltop. There were
six graves. five of the head
stones were living flat on the
ground. We cleared the weeds
and located Uncle Oscars stone.
1t was propped up again and we
took picture of it to take back
to New England to Aunt Allie.
But the light of the day was
gone, as Manifold had, and the
picture was not a success.
Some years later we returned
to the section again. Our old
friendly escort of the first visit
was gone. too. Alone we tried
to find Manifold but we were
unsuccessful. Even the faint trail
of wagon wheels had finally been
wholly obliterated. All that re-
imains to us of Aunt Allies home
