SUBTLE ATTACK
fRv Associated Pressl

BUCHAREST, Apr. 16.-Should
Russians march into Bessarabia,
Rumania plans to use brandy as
well as bullets to repulse them
In the last war, when Russians
were in Rumania as allies, Ru-
manians say they guZzled all the
liquor they could get their hands
on and that their drunkenness
resulted in several defeats
As a strategic move, reliable
informant said, the general staff
has moved big stocks of cheap
brandy and vodka into the from
tier region, to make liquor easily
available to the Russians if they
enter.

SCANDINAVIA
AIR-SEA TEST

Continued from Page One)
tie for control of the North Sea.
And again the broad strokes of
strategy are the same that pro-
duced the World war battle of
Jutland.
The German strategy at Jut-
land was to lure the British fleet
toward Denmark and then pick
off the units of the fleet one by
one. The British strategy was to
lure the Germans out of the Hell
goland Blight in large force, and
administer a beating in the open
North Sea.
Oddly enough, both strategies
worked. When Admiral Beatty'S
cruiser fleet encountered advance
forces of the German fleet off
Denmark's Jutland, he gave bat
tie, and the Germans retired to-
ward their main fleet. He al
lowed himself to be sucked right
under the guns of the main line
of German battleShips before he
turned, and fled-toward his own
main fleet further north. The
Germans pursued, and that
brought both high-seas fleets to-
gether. E31Eg2
Darkness saved the German
fleet from annihilation, but the
German fleet never came out in
the North Sea again, and the
British blockade became alb
Solute.
What's The Difference?
This time the pattern of the
strategy is almost exactly the
same. The difference lies in the
fact that the Germans have no
high seas fleet to speak of, but
they do have a superior air force
and mechanical army equip
ment.
And by their invasion of the
north countries, the Germans
have lured the British fleet with
in close range of their big bomb
ers, and are working from land
positions with a mechanical
army in Norwegian territory.
Apparently the British, knowing
there is no German high seas
fleet worthy of the name, were
willing to run the risk of big
German bombers.
So they closed in on the Skag-
gerak and Kattegat and used
their sea forces to destroy Ger
many's commercial shipping, to
break communications across to
Denmark, and also to strike at as
much of the German fleet as
must stay in the open to protect
supply lines.
All this adds up to the fact
that the British are stalking their
sea power against German air
power, and the Germans must
stake their army and air force
against the British sea power.

However, in the third quarter, the
Guards came back strong and cut the
Texaco lads lead to three points and
from there on it looked like anybody's
game. In the last quarter, the Guards
were within one point Of tieing the
count on three occasions, but the
Texacos always came back with an
other field goal to forge ahead by
three points. In the closing minute
of play the Texacos kept possession
of the ball by a series of across-the-
floor passes in the back of the fore
court.
Eddie MCGEE of the Soldiers was
high scorer of the evening, with IL
points. The Texacos showed a good
passing attack as their scoring honors
were divided, Bob Allen Tailed IL
points; Norman Allen 10 points and
Paul Merrill points.
Last year in the championship
game between the same two teams
the Guards defeated the Texacos by
the score of 1874. Wednesday nights
game was almost a duplicate of last
years game with the Texacos being
on the long end of the score this time.
The game was well handled by the
two Salisbury referees, George Spence
and Carroll Brewington.
In the preliminary the Eagles de-
feated the Falcons, 35-15 for class B

The Texacos made the first break
Of the game, taking advantage of a
sinker shot in the first two minutes of
play. The Guards then Tailed with
two fields goals and charity toss to
put them out in front So. However,
Joe Levin of the Texacos made SER
les of long shots that forged the Tex
acos ahead and gave them lead they
never relinquished during the entire
game.
In the second quarter, Bob Allen, of
Texacos Melted four one-hand push
shots from the right hand corner and
the Texacos led at the half 23-11. It
