Major Attention Turns to
u. of NJ, Pennsylvania Tilt

Ann Arbor, Mich. Oct. Gap
Major attention OF the football
world centered on this little college
city today as Michigan and
Pennsylvania drew up for battle
with two OF 1905 brightest stars
on opposite sides OF the scrim-
mage line.
The intersectional struggle head
lined Tom Harmon Of Michigan
and Francis X. Reagan of Pennsyl-
vania, each a sensation in touch
down scoring. A crowd OF 10000
fans was expected Game time
was 2 p. m. (EST).
A spectacular battle was likely
since the weather man promised
dry field, suitable for Harmon's
running tricks and Reagan's sharp
shooting forward passes. The
teams, among the prides Of their
respective sectors, risked perfect
records.
Experts were inclined to favor
Michigan. The Wolverines thus
far are credited with having played
a tougher schedule, although no
body was around shouting that
Michigan was a cinch bet.
Coach Fritz Crisler was ready
with some special strategy. In
event Reagan's passes worked too
well. Harmon was to come in from
his safety ioh and nIav ciosar 70

Italian Drive in Egypt Hinges
On Water Supply Problem
Confidence Of Success Is Probably Bosed
On Air Force Superiority Over British

counting to overcome these diff
culties?
First of all, probably, their conf
dence is placed in their air force.
Here they will be superior to the
British perhaps two to one, perhaps
rather more. They can do a great
deal with aircraft to interrupt
British communications and attack
British troop units and warships.
Next, they may be counting on
their large submarine force to neu-
tralize the operations of the British
Navy, both in attacking their COL
umns by bombardment and in as
sailing their communications with
Italy. British reluctance to with
draw destroyers from the Mediter-
ranean is explained by the need for
anti-submarine patrols. The Ital-
ians have about 120 submarines,
few of which appear to have seen
any action so far. They have per-
haps been held in reserve for this
great effort.
Small Force in Sudan.
Next, the italians are undoubtedly
confident in the ability of their
forces in East Africa to create a
timely diversion in the British rear
that is, in the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan. Including the native troop
ers of the Sudan defense force, it is
probable that the British do not

Italians have some $4,000 to 100 900
in Italian East Africa; British So
maitland has been disposed of, their
only other anxiety is the Kenya
frontier, where there are perhaps
another 10000 British troops, most
ly natives of the Kings African
Rifles, but including some South
Africans. Allowing a considerable
number of men to control the in
terror of Ethiopia, it should still be
possible for the Italians to assemble
10000 men for an attack on the
Sudan. If they were able to force

all the efforts that Britain's best

has put forward, there is a large

would be menaced from the south
as well as from the west.
There are, however, two difficult
ties in the Italian path in this re-
gion the first is that movement
northward from Khartum is largely
confined to Valley of the Nile, and
that the railway is not continuous,
there being a gap between Wadi
Halfa and Assuan; the second is
that British agents and British gold
are already busily at work, under
the aegis of Emperor Halle Selassie

tribes; the third is the grave lack
of supplies, including fuel and am
munition, in Italian East Africa,
which is absolutely cut of from any
direct line of communications with
any other axis territory. Neverthe-
less. when all is said and done, the
Sudan is not well defended and an
Italian diversion here Is certainly

Most bears are "left-handed."
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-11-01

A great deal of ink has been spilled
on the question of what Mr.. John L.
Lewis intends to do in this campaign
to which candidate he intends to
throw his support.
1t isn't very important.
Some inquiry along the line indi-
Gates clearly that most folks are in
terested in Mr.. Lewis intentions more
for the sake of gossip than for the
sake of true Importance.
The reason for the decrease in the
Importance of Mr. Lewis politically is
that there has been a steady and
headlong decline in his Importance as
labor leader.
That there has been such a decline
does not admit of debate.
1t is written where all who run may
read
Just what it was that stopped the
upward swing of Lewis and sent him
careening downhill on creased to-
boggan probably would not be easy to
define.
Perhaps it wasn't any one thing
Probably it was group of several
things.
