Bombers For Britain

As Adolf Hitler expands his sphere Of In
fluence, and absorbs important areas in the
Balkans for new attempts to defeat Great
Britain, it is apparent that Americas tacit
pledge Of all help, outside Of sending an army
to Europe, must be quickly put into effect If
Britain is TO weather the gathering storm.
That this is recognized at Washington, and
that the measure Of our help is destined to be
increased LIZ indicated by the decision to re.
lease to Britain four bombers as fast
as they can be turned out and % flying
fortress" bombers.
In fact, this new program has already been
started with the delivery Of the first of the
giant Warplanes TO Britain by ting Congolidate ted
Aircraft company vi San Diego. The balance,
1t is reported, are 10 re turned ovcr by early
March. The flying fortresss." manufactured
by the Boeing Aircraft corporation Of Seattle,
will be equipped with heavy armament and

and negotiations for their delivery are report.
ed well under way.
It is by such transactions that America
demonstrates it's determination to do what II
can to prevent a totalitarian, dictator victorv
in Europe. American sympathy for Britain
has long passed the passive stage and has
arrived at a truly militant point.

of a hard-won triumph was without power TO
change his ruling, even though he now admits
his unintentional error.
It is to the high credit of Cornell that she
gave up the game without hesitation as soon
as it was clear that her winning touchdown
had been scored on an illegal fifth down. That
sort of spirit counts far more than the. winning
of football games. It is what distinguishes
truly amateur sport from contests of every
other kind.
This Cornell team is in truth greater in de-
feat than it was in victory. For by its I'M
action it has set an example OF
fine craftsmanship that will be
long after its record of consecutive triumphs
has been forgotten by gridiron fans.

True Sportsmanship

Cornelps refusal to accept a football victory
tainted by an official error is real sportsman.
ship in the truest and highest sense of the
word.
The victory which Cornell voluntarily con-
coded to it's opponent meant a great deal to
the Big Red team and its followers. With i,
on the record books Cornell was still a team
with 10 games without a defeat and assured of
4 ranking high among the top ~elevens of the
