In the Baltic states, especially
ithuania, Jews who fled from

{ the Nazi juggernaut.
Wherever the Nazis have pen

ale arrests of Jews and other
nti-SS'initic measures. The Ger

In Nazi-occupied Poland, Jews
ave been left defenseless to face

ghetto, and in the ghetto no

If the NaZis gain control of the

Who They May Be

1t is entirely too early yet to have
any bowl teams line up. The West
ern conference and Notre Dame are
out. So is Navy and the Ivy league
two years ago Cornell would have
been a terrific card.
But the main candidates now,
apart from the Pacific Coast con-
ference, are Alabama, Duke, Ten
nessee, Tulane, Texas, Fordham,
Colgate, Southern Methodist, Ne
braska, and Oklahoma. To be beat
en- once is no bowl bar. Last season
FOrdham, Texas A. and NJ, Nebras-
ka and Georget0wn-all bowl teams
had each suffered a defeat. Two
defeats are usually the eliminating
point.
1t isn't certain that Duke would
take on bowl visit, unless Wallace
Wade changes his mind.
The two leading candidates from
the North are Fordham and Col
gate, which are not likely to be
beaten twice, at any rate, and which
are almost certain to have fine rec
ordS.
Alabama and Tulane are excellent
bowl prospects. They are two of
the best. In the Southwest the bat
tie is always so bitter that few
teams ever finish a spotless season,
no matter how good they are. The
competition is so keen in that sector
that the job of winning them all is
nearly always an impossible turn.
AS the season progresses bowl
scouts viii be rambling all over
the map in the busiest pre-bowl
campaign the game has yet known.
There should be fewer unbeaten
teams this fall than last season was
able to show.
Minnesota still will be hard to
batter down, but Stanford will be in
danger more than once. Outside
of the Pacific Coast conference the
crack entry from the Far West
should be Santa Clara, team that
is always in top fight in any
roundup.

Bowl Scouts Busy

The rush for bowl selections is
already warming up, and the rival
ry is keener than ever. Eight lead
ing teams are needed for Pasadena,
Dallas, New Orleans and Miami,
and they want the best.
The Pacific coast always has one
fixed starter-her own conference
champion. But the western delay
in waiting for the final game may
cause trouble again, as SO many
leading candidates won't hang
around that long with other bowls
pressing the issue.
The Texans are hoping to keep
their own conference champion
hooked to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas,
where they can handle over $4,000
spectators at top prices.
The Sugar Bowl, now able to
accommodate $4,000 or more, would
like to get the pick of the North and
the South for New Orleans-Ala-
bama, Tulane or Duke, for example,
against a Fordham or a Colgate.
And Miami, with an increasing
capacity, is just as keen to keep
building up her big winter show.
This means the Rose Bowl COM
mittee faces claimants ready to
pluck six of the best teams in the
field. The Rose Bowl cut of 100000
is a golden lure, but many teams
invited to collect $4,000 or $4,000
don't care to gamble on losing the
lesser amounts. Which is SIM
ple enough to understand.

Witness Finally Admitted
Stronger Forces Influence

Cross-examining a witness on
the other side, an attorney tried
by every means possible to dis
credit him.
You tell us you came to the
city in search of work." he said
meaningly. 81 put to you that
there was another, a stronger, mo-
tive which brought you all that
distance. Isn't that so?"
The witness hesitated a time,
then slowly replied, swell, yes,
there was.'
"Ah!" exclaimed the barrister
triumphantly, "Now tell the court
what it was"
"a locomotive" replied the wit
ness blandly.

THE football scythe, 1941 model,
4 will continue to be extremely
busy during the next few Saturday
afternoons. A few more teams
from the upper ranks must drop
into the list of the beaten before
the season ends. Future upsets are
to be expected. One of the favorite
current debates concerns the tough
est football schedule of the year.
My vote goes to Coach Charles
BOwsers' Pittsburgh squad. Here
is the Panther hOokup-Purdue
Michigan, Minnesota, Duke, Ohio
State, Fordham, Nebraska, Penn
State and Carnegie Tech. The last
named team is on the off side, but
look over those first eight Pitts
burgh games.
I can't find another schedule that
calls for such opposition as Pitt
must meet from Michigan, Mime
sofa, Duke, Fordham and Nebraska,
without calling on the others, which
are none too soft.

Another Entry

Considering the material at hand
I'd say a good runner-up would be
DIR. Nal Stevens and his group of
ViOlets from N.Y.U. This year the
Violets face Texas A. and NJ, SYRIA
cuse, Holy Cross, Penn State, Mis-
souri,, Tulane and Fordham. Tulane
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-10-23

and Fordham alone would make a
hard schedule for any normal
squad.
This menu is entirely too much
for the material Nal Stevens has
at hand. From now on it would be
a fine days work for N.Y.U. to beat
anyone of these opposing outfits.

dilemma, not because of any action

Considerable agitation has been

Un-Anlerican Labor Practices
FIayed In Sunday Broadcast

Joe Louis, worlds heavyweight
champion, in an interview from ST.
Louis, where he is now training for
the sixteenth defense of his title,
served as a living example of the
potentialities of Negro skilled la
bor. He described his experiences
while working on the metal lathe
and assembly line Of an automobile
factory III Detroit.
Eddie (Rochester) Anderson in a
cleverly written skit delivered a
sermon in few words as to the in
justice OF American employers en-
gagged in national defense produc-
ton, who persist in barring Ameri-
can workers of color. His mes
sage was heard from Los Angeles.
Also heard in the West Coast
portion of the broadcast was Duke
Ellington and his famed orchestra.
The band, whick is rated tops in
gnerican dance music, played
Dukes new composition, "F'lamin-
60" with vocal being performed
by Herb Jeffrey.
From Detroit came the golden
voice of Ethel Waters the American
tNegro's first lady Of the stage,

Others given top billings on the
hour long show heard from five un-
til six (pm) eastern standard
time were the sterling trumpeting
of Louis Armstrong and his orches-
ira, the golden violin of Eddie
South, playing Ozark Eyes; Eddie
Green, the close-knitted rhythms
of John Kirby and his orchestra;
the fine tapping Of Bill CBojangles)
Robinson, who during his bit refer
red TO his appearance last week in
Atlanta; Edward Matthews, bari
ton soloist, and the Strong choir.
Brief messages dealing with the
plight of the Negro American in
the defense setup were delivered by
1t. Governor Harry Poletti of
New York, an officer of the Ma
tional Urban League, and Eugene
Kinckle Jones, executive secretary
of the league, who was responsible
for the broadcast; and Hubert T.
Delaney, New York tax commits
Sioner.
Americans must make democra-
cy living thing" Mr.. Poletti, IN
a stirring address, told the millions
of hearers throughout the coun-
try. He pleaded for fairplay for
the thousands of American Negro
workers, recalling that the Negro
has stood steadfast in his loyalty
to the American flag from the
time of the nations birth to the
present.
An address scheduled to have
been delivered by Mayor F. H.
LaGuardia of New York City, was
read by Mr.. Delaney in the may
or's absence. The message placed
the mayors endorsement on the
campaign being staged by the
Urban League to secure fairplay
and justice for Negro workers.
The program was produced and
directed by Phil Cohan. Before the
last notes had been sounded tele-
phones in CHS stations throughout
the country were ringing bringing
praises to the network for its fine
example in Americanism shown in
it's offering facilities to gat across
the message of the Negro worker.
