MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct. H.
Willy Pete Sachon again proved
himself one of Catholic University's
greats today when his sturdy right
foot led the Cardinals to 60 VIC
tory over the powerful St. Anselm's
Hawks of Manchester. 1t was q
sweet bit of revenge for the 1918 de-
feat plastered on the Cardinals In
Boston last year.
Sachon was not all alone against
the Hawks, but he was the ring
leader of the stirring plot that ham,
strung every st. Anselm threat. He
passed when passes were needed
completing seven out of eight, with
one being intercepted. On the ground
he tore the Anselmian line to shreds
giving way in this department pos
sibly to Charley Moutenot. but a
summation of statistics shows it was
Sachon's booming punts that av-
eraged more than so yards that were
the biggest factor in giving victory
to the Washingtonians.
Hawks Always In Game.
The Hawks, coached by Cleo
ODonneu, were not outplayed. and
were in the game every minute
When Sachon kicked out Of danger,
Capt. Ed Boule and his mates
pounded back through the Cardi-
nal line to threaten. 1t was nip
and tuck, but the Cardinals man
aged to tuck away the only touch
down.
Catholic University pushed over
its score in the third period. There
was an element of luck in the touch
down. but lucky or not, Sachon and
Company were not to be denied.
Half way in the period, due to a
big gain in the exchange of punts,
the Cardinals pounded the trail to
the Hawk Is for first down. 1t
was all in vain, though, for the
Hawks stiffened and held Mounte-
not, Sachon and Brostek for the
four downs, and then kicked out to
Gus A.
Moutenot led the next march to
the goal line. with a 25-yard run
sandwiched between a pair Of
passes, the second, Sachon to Bros
tex, carrying to the S. 1t appeared
for a minute as If the Hawks would
hold again. Moutenot hit the line
twice, and Brostek once. and there
still was a yard to 60. Sachon
stepped into the breach on the
fourth try, and went over. 1t was in
keeping with his worthy perform
ance of all afternoon.
St. Anselm's Well Balanced.
There was no Ray Mclean, who
raised such havoc against the Car
dinals last year, playing for the
Haks today but it was a well-bal-
anced, scrappy and heads-up ma
chine that fought the visitors. Their
running attack was strong, but the
air attack was weak. and it was to
this department they turned when

Leading in the fourth period by

speedy young Joe McCourt, who
flashed out of nowhere to steal two
passes-both soon converted into
touchdowns.
Brown got away to a 80 lead IN
the first period when Pete Laudati

Colgate made nine first downs to
six for the losers and gained TIA
yards in rushing to 107 for the

Attack Is Versatile

PRINCETON, N. j.. Oct. a.
Fathoming Princeton's famed aerial
attack after the early stages and
countering with a smart passing
game Of its own, Navy scored some
thing Of a football upset here
today before $4,000 spectators by
getting a 12-to-6 victory over the
highly ranked Big Three team.
The MILDLY team. which was
forced to wait until its season finale
with Army last year before gaining
a major triumph, rolled Up a clear
cut margin on the statistics sheet
today but, to win, the Annapolis
eleven had to come from behind in
the third period and not until the
final split-second, when an erring
Princeton pass floated into the arms
Of a Navy back, was victory assured.
For revealing the more versatile
attack and displaying more man
power, however, Navy was entitled
to its decision over the team which
scored q 28-to-0 win last year.
Navy Stronger in Air.
Not only on the ground, where a
certain amount of superiority was
expected. but also in the air was
the Navy q stronger team and when
it was over the jubilant Middies,

milton of their first triumph over
Nassau since 1881 in the series which
began in 1892 and which has con-

fully fought off the spirited efforts
of the Tiger undergrads in a series

marching once for 10 yards to a
touchdown and again for 80 after
the enemy had taken a 6-to-0 lead

count on the United States sitting back while
they 20 ahead with the conquest of China,
Indo- China, the Dutch East Indies, and other
miscellaneous possessions of other powers.
Why, then, does it seem a good idea to a
Japanese spokesman to make such a state
ment?
There is no easy answer to the question,
but in view of the way the Japanese have
been acting lately it may be possible to ignore
it. They have shown great perturbation be-
cause the President has laid tighter %restric-
tons on American exports to Japan. They
have been hurt and depressed because Wash
ington has urged our citizens to leave the
Orient. 1t may be that they are beginning
to understand our meaning.
If they are in a mood to listen to reason,
the United States would be willing to be rea-
sonable. After all, our differences with Japan
present no insuperable obstacle to an under
standing. Unless the Japanese are determined
to conquer east Asia it should be possible for
them to agree that there is room there for a
free China and the western nations as well
as Japan.
Al least it would pay the United States to
inquire once more into Japan's Intentions
her present intentions. They may have
changed recently. The pact with the Axis pow
ers has proved a liability. An accord with
Britain, the United States and China could
be an asset. It would be worth while to find
out if the Japanese are beginning to see that
way.

is that we probably can. The British ano
Canadians are already getting IS per cent Of
our total plane output and the new policy will
not mean many more planes for them or
much fewer for us. But if such a rule is ap-
Piled all up and down the line of the thou
sands of defense items, it would take an army
of experts to determine the exact effect on
our defense program.
In making this announcement the President
is also obviously INDUCING in high policy OF
a different sort. 1t is meant to impress the
Axis with the fact that this country is solidly
on Britain's side. To a certain extent it moves
us farther away from neutrality into the status
of a acknowledgement ally.

rations. But we detect ironic implications in
the phrase "active military duty"
This native of Onslow county knew and
loved Eastern North Carolina waterways. To
the vast task of their improvement he brought
intimate knowledge of every twist and turn
in the channel, every shoal and mud flat OF
the wide sounds and stretching savannahs. He
administered the expenditure of great sums
of federal money with military efficiency but
he was not militaristic. He saw beyond the
project because as his infrequent public plat
form appearances proved, he realized at first
hand what benefits they would bring to his
people-the farmers, the fishermen the ship
pers of all North Carolina.
The unguarded reaches of the states in
tricate c~oastline have been better prepared
for defense by reason of his stay here.
Col. Gillette proved himself competent and
humane; he did his job economically and eff
fectively. He leaves to help the nation prepare
for defense from without, but if there exists
a medal for distinguished service for defense
from within, he has earned it.

Rumanian Earthquake

1t is impossible to appraise the loss Of life
or property in the earthquake which swept
Runania during the weekend Thousands are
said to be dead, other thousands injured. Many
oil plants are reported on fire and communica-
tons more or less disrupted.
This, of course, is vague. But the picture is
clear enough to indicate that Rumania has
suffered a major catastrophe, and that Ger
many which recently seized the nations gov
eminent and resources has undergone a back
set in her program for utilizing that nations
petroleum products and other resources, as
we'll as her railways, in the Axis war against
Great Britain and Greece.
1t is an ironic circumstance that Rumania,
which has previously escaped the cruel ef-
fects of actual warfare, should suffer losses
equallng any that the present war probably
would have caused had she been a partici.
pant, and not from fighting but from a whim
of nature.
