Big Red Team Versatile
Well BELONGED

We can mention Mort Landsberg
at fullback, Drahos at tackle-Keley
and Schmuck at ends, McCullugh
at halfback. And how many better
blocking backs can you find above
Capt. MatuszcZak?
The answer is that Cornell, in
pace of having one or two stars, has
at least five or six stars who also
would be stars on any team in the
country
Cornell not only is unusually strong
on attack, but it also is equally
capable on defense. Late last fall I
saw this Ithacan outfit hold a good
Pennsylvania team to one first down
on 10-yard pass. And Penn had
both Reagan and Gustafson.
You'll find few teams that have
anything like the same versatility
The Cornell backfeld is loaded with
men who can both pass and receive
as well as run, 1t is an all
around combination-one of the best
I've seen.

Cornell and Cayuga's waters have
q rare combination. This means an
extremely able coach who also is
blessed with exceptional material.
fast, smart, skilled, keen and ex-
perienced. Here is the combination
that counts.
1 recall talking to Silent Carl a
year ago after the Ohio State party.
Il think" Snavely said, that the
main feature of this Cornell team
Is its love of football. I've coached
quite a while I've never seen a
team before that liked to play so
well. Even when they were knocked
down, run over and trailing by IA to
o. they had no thought of losing.
1t is a team that has tremendous
faith in itself. 1t isn't big team,
especially our backfleld, but it is
fast-fast on it's feet and fast with
its head
1t has been said that Cornell is
q team without any outstanding
stars. I can't agree with this Some
of them may not be so outstanding
over their mates, but they rank far
up around the map.

 Fishin'
 And How

ABERDEEN, Wash, Aug. 6. - Christy Mathewson's fadeaway not only got strikes for the old New York Giants of 1914 on the dia- mond, but also in the fish pond.
 This was the solemn declaration of Marty O'Toole, a pitcher on the same team with Mathewson. o. Toole offered the disclosure in a local Poggie club Truth Tellers' contest.
 We were entrained for a game when break in the railroad line forced the train to stop near a Hudson River pond for more than three hours" O'Toole recounted.
 "Team members wandering about the train noticed choice selection of eastern bass in the pond, but nc one aboard had any fishing tackle
 Manager John McGraw saved the day.
 He brought out large num- Der of ybaseballs and told his pitching staff to go to it, promis- ing bonus to the player making the most strikes.
 Taking cue from Mathewson members of the team started blast ing away at the bass with baseballs using Christy's fadeaway, now known as the screWball
 Every time fish was klonked with the ball it would be knocked cold and drift toward the river.
 Altogether, 36 bass were taken that afternoon"

BOLIVIAN OVERTURES

Despite this the State Depart ment literally ignored representa- tions by the Bolivian Government to work out a trade agreement whereby the United States would secure tin not from the South Pa cific, but from inside the Western Hemisphere thus avoiding dan gerous shipping haulS, and tn e danger of foreign controls.
 First Bolivian overture to the State Department was made by Charge d'Affaires Enrique Lozada in June, 1883, at the suggestion of The Washington Merry-Go-R Round. At that time, Acting Secretary of State William Phillips, now Ambas- sador to Rome, turned a deaf ear. He said the United States was not interested.
 Then the late Representative Sam McReynolds of Tennessee intro duced legislation placing an excise tax on the importation of crude tin, in order to encourage it's smelting in the United States. Whereupon the State Department actually intervened to kill the bill, causing it's author to protest to his old friend Cordell Hull.
 This memorandum, said McRey- holds, referring to the State De- partment's memo opposing the tax on crude tin, could have been no more favorable to British interests if it had been written in the Brit ish Foreign Office"

THREE WEEKS SUPPLY


 All of which reveals one of the most inexcusable chapters of na- tional defense neglect in recent history.
 Almost nobody knew that on January 1 of this year, U s. stocks of tin were so low that we had only three weeks supply. And few people know what the exhaustion of our supply would mean to Am erican life and industry. Not only would it put an end to our pack ing of food in tin cans, which is major industry, but it would eventually mean a blackout for every American home not lighted by gas or kerosene lamps. For the contact point of every electric light bulb is made of tin.
 Furthermore, the U. s. Fleet would be laid up in few months for lack of tin for bearing re- placements. The same would apply to automobiles, and to many other

Some of Season s Best HurIing Recorded d-De-

(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)

The Major baseball Leagues are like aging horses.
 A quartet of American Leagues tottering pitchers charged the fir ing line yesterday with some of the seasons best hurling, including the abbreviated no-hitter John White head, who hadn't won a game this season, and who blanked Detroit in pitching six innings for St. Louis. Rain shortened the game.
 Schoolboy Rowe, who like White head has once been sent to the minors with the prospect that he was not likely to return to the ma jors, gave six hits and won for the Detroit Tigers in the first game with St. Louis
 The split of the doubleheader knocked Detroit out of first place in the American League.
 Melvin Leroy Harder, who has been hearing the fans booing him recently, gave five hits yesterday and almost got a shutout in pitch ing Cleveland to a victory over Chi cago which put Cleveland back into the American Leagues lead.
 In the National League, Whitlow Wyatt, another oldtimer, boomed Brooklyn by shutting out the Giants with a six hitter. It was the only game played in the National League yesterday.
