Football Men Brand Ohio State SignaLCalHnq
Charge Against Snavely of Cornell as Absurd
From Bench
Would Only
Be Confusing
RY HARRY GRAYsoN

NEW YORK - Football men
laugh at the charge made by Ath-
letic Director L. W. st. John and
Coach Francis Schmidt of Ohio
State that Carl Snavely directed
the Cornell team against the Buck
eyes from the bench.
One reason is that any coach
repeatedly wigwagging his players
would have his team penalized
evely second or third play.
Another is that such methods
would only result in confusing the
team.
A team looking for a signal from
the bench couldn't pick IL up. skip
out OF the huddle and get the play
off in rs seconds.
How could Snavely or any other
coach hold white cylinder in suf-
ficient ways, or make enough ges-
lures. TO cover all the plays a
team like Cornell employs?
Walt Matuszczak, who called
every play ran by Cornell against
Ohio State, says that he was not
once influenced by any action on
the bench, and football men will
take his word for il.

 Aux Bay Ideal

 A passenger shelter, refueling and landing facilities will be installed there.

RENEWED PLEAS MADE FOR
 DEFENSE OF ALASKA; NEW
 REVELATIONS BY DIM0ND

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Terri- torial officials of Alaska put before the House Appropriations Commit tee during hearing on military es- tablishment the theory that if the United States is attacked from the Orient this attack will come through Alaska and not through Hawaii
 Testimony has been made public as a military establishment bill was introduced in the House.
 Delegates Revelations
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond told the House Appropriations Committee members that the short est route between Japan and the United States, Seattle to Yokohama, is by the Great Circle, 140O miles shorter than by Hawaii.
 Delegate Dimond said there is a Japanese Naval Base within 750 miles of the westernmost Aleutian Islands, at Paramushiru.
 The Delegate said the air base at Fairbanks is in direct line with Siberia and Boring Straits which separates Alaska and Siberian Rus sia by only 54 miles.
 Russians Active
 "We in Alaska know the Rus sians have done much more than flying all over Siberia under all sorts of conditions than we have ever done anywhere said the Delegate.
 Gov Ernest Gruening testified This great area of nearly 600,0O0 square miles is today defenseless' at this time and now is the time the Nation should give considera- ton to it's defense"
 Major w B. Smith, from the office of Chief of Staff, told the com mittee that "cold weather does weird things to planes and we know comparatively little about it."
 Major Smith said the station at Fairbanks, Alaska, will provide con- ditions for studying action of planes in the Arctic cold.
 Fears Expressed
 Delegate Dimond read a newspa- per article which said it indicated that Kamandorsky Islands, belong ing to Russia, about 260 miles north west of the Aleutians, was fortified and he asserted that the United States was confronted not only with the possibility but the probability of an outright alliance between So- viet Russia and Japan.
