Coach Banks Worries Over
Finale at Duluth.
STATISTICS

Ely's Iron Men lived up to their
name one hundred per cent, Friday
night, by downing the Eveleth Junior
College, II to 6, on Memorial field in
one of the hardest-fought games ever
played here.
Nearly LOO fans packed every avail
able seat in the Memorial stadium and
overlooked onto two bleachers erected
on the south side of the field to witness
a great team go down to defeat be-
fore the powerhouse charges of the
Iron Men. The Ely drum and bugle
corps staged a colorful demonstration
between halves.
The win put the Elyites back in
first place in the conference standings
but they share top honors with Itasca
which defeated Virginia, Z to o, fol
the first time in II years on the Queen
City gridiron last Saturday.

THERE is typical American Farm home
requiring wide frontage due to the
location of the garage.
The plan makes an ingenious use of levels
in that the dining room and kitchen con-
structed two steps below the living room.
This allows the building of third bedroom,
the one above the kitchen, between the level
of the other two bedrooms and the downstairs
area. A porch is located at the back of the
house on one side while the living room,
which includes large fireplace, opens at the
opposite side of the house onto a space for
terrace screened porch.
This house appears in the November issue
of HOME Magazine, published at 1887 Con-

Col. Richmond points out, the es-
sential qualities which distinguished
cavalry leaders like Stuart and Gus
ter from other soldiers remain the
same. He must be man who
thinks, and thinks right, In a fash.
He is encountering new situations
from minute to minute that allow
no delay. 1t is his job, in fact, to
seek out new situations. The in
fantry or artillery officer is able to
take his time. Once he is confront
ed with a situation it is fairly we'll
stabilized. The cavalryman must
be just about as Undetermined as
the airman.
But he is free from a lot of the
worries of his predecessors. He need
waste no sleep in concern about his

creating a disturbance when the
outfit is lying in ambush. Tanks
and scout cars do not get panic
stricken under fire.

had a great deal to do with the
Germans smashing victories.
But American cavalry officers
were not especially surprised. Their
own developments had been at least
parallel with that Of the Germans.
They, however, had had q far more
complex problem to consider with
the wide diversity of terrain which
they might be called on to defend.
New Reconnaissance Companies.
Reconnaissance companies on the
new model are necessary for every
division, it is pointed out, and all
the Regular divisions have been
equipped with them. The air force
has taken over much of the cavalry
function of locating the enemy, but
the pilot still cannot see through
trees, camouflage may baf1e him
and he is almost worthless at night
and in foggy weather. Then the
scout car or the horse must be re-
lied upon.
And with all the changes in form,

be called a cavalry battle because
they were dismounted."
So some of the old horse regi-
ments have been retained, senti-
ment being combined with practical
thinking. 1t is this horse cavalry
that is being displayed here in St.
Lawrence County. The National
Guard is proud Of its horses, but
the country, rough as it is in places,
is Ill adapted for their operations.
In anything like real warfare here
they would have been eliminated
almost at once.
The development of the mechan-
lied cavalry has been under way in
the United States Army for the last
decade at least. When Hitler
launched his panzer divisions on the
Dutch and the Belgians, the pic
ture presented by newspaper corre-
spondents Of the smoke belching
steel dinosaurs was terrifying to
Americans. and there is little doubt
that the sheer terror they inspired
Evening star., 1940-08-22

that mechanized cavalry would
make extremely slow progress
through it. America cannot afford
to think solely Of a European war,
or war in its own thickly populated
areas, but must consider the de-
tense Of every square mile Of Its
territory.
Cavalry Battles Are Over.
So. he points out, the advocates
Of the horse-and these include lots
of old-time Army officers and en-
listed men with a sentimental at
tachment to the beasts-have a
good deal to be said in their favor
once one stops looking across the
Atlantic. Not that there will ever
be again an old-time horse cavalry
battle. he says.
