Character Builder
ST. Theresa's Coach Stamps Himself as Such on
Return to Sports Scene After 2.Month Absence
BY GEORGE MASKIN

George Dufour, the builder of
champions at ST. Theresa High,
has reappeared on the local sport
ing scene after two months of
hiding out" on the line of one
Of the automobile factories.
Dufour's return today as n
member OF the faculty of the
Lawrence Tech coaching school
also was hailed by one of his
momentous announcements - or,
possibly. it's a forecast.
Anyway. as expected, Dufour
sees only headaches ahead for st.
Theresa during the next year. He
visioned the same things last
August and his Pirates concluded
by hopping up Catholic League
football and basketball honors and
also the State Class b cage title.
SPEAKS OF FUTURE
Says Dufour in speaking of the
future:
From now on, I'm building
character, since this champion
ship stuff Is out for us"
Rival coaches. of course, are
only praying Dufour means" the
last remark.
Incidentally. three OF Dufour's
best boys for the last three
years Don Osterman, Tom Hetu
and Joey Smith-have decided
where they'll attend school in the
Fall.
Osterman Is going TO the New
York Military Academy. while
Hetu and Smith will enroll at Uni
verSlty of Detroit.

Why England'n Win
London BHtz Reporter, in Talk Here, Tells Facts
of War-ond Stands Out Like Small Army
BY JOHN OBRIEN

The question period following
Reynolds set speech was far more
Informative than the speech. The
Adcrafters fired questions at him
for As minutes. Reynolds lent a
refreshing touch 10 the role of
expert by occasionally admitting
that he was absolutely ignorant
OF the answer--an attitude that
would shock a barber shop gen.
eral.
The Raj is magnificent. says
Reynolds. but the Polish fliers in
IL are superrnen and their squad
rons have by far the best records.
They do not bother 10 fly in for
nation, but they will do anything
TO bring down Nazi plane. The
Italian pilots are regarded as cour-
ageous because they fly to London
in planes that are far inferior TO
the British.
England is ready. even anxious
for the invasion, Reynolds said.
She is prepared for anything. in
GLIDING gas.
Reynolds made only one abso-
lutely unbelievable statement: he
said that he had escaped from
Paris in an Austin car. After taxi
ing another look at his dimensions
We credited him with an error.

Research in Gas Industry

Research in the petroleum in
ddStry now ranks second in SCI
entific investigation, according
TO DR.. William A. Hamor. asso-
ciate director of the Mellon
Institute of Industrial Research
in Pittsburgh. II has expanded
SAG per cent in the past IL
years. Doctor Hamors survey
shows.
The tendency in motor fuels,
he points out. is toward produc-
ton of single hydrocarbons or a
group of three or four so that
combustion in automotlve en-
gines may be precisely con-
trolled. Octane rating fuels of
100 or over are produced for
aviation use. he reports. but
these products may be used in
pleasure cars within five years.
There are two needs which the
industry is now working on, he
revealed.
There Is a growing need for
standard specifications for high
speed Diesel fuels" he says. "In
aircraft work. a fuel system Is
sought which will compensate
for the drop in pressure at high
attitudes"

TIE DENNIS MURDER

On Dec. 10. 1901. Mrs. Ada Gil
bert Dennis. wealthy dressmaker
!. for tho capitals upper-crust soci-
Nety women. was done TO death IN
the parlor OF her home al III *
street Northwest then in the
heart Of the fashionable part OF
Washington.
Doors and windows were locked
and fastened when the police dis
covered the crime. Mrs. Dennis
died without reCaining conscious
ress end without being able 10
sheI arr light on her murderer
Based on the locked-door- and
window theory. the police might
have rid themselves OF a trouble
some mystery by writing this off
on their books as suicide, but
for one fact they couldn't get
around.
Mrs. Dennis was not shot. as in
the case of krivltsky. She had
been beaten to death with the top
of a piano stool, which the muir
derer had screwed off for the
purpose.
The police had TO admit if was
murder. incidentally. thew have
never solved the mystery Of this
strange crime. They are likely TO
leave the krivitsky case among
the unsolved, too. 1t is the easy
way.
