Rosedahl again opened the scor-
ing with two free throws, and Kel-
dahl matched his with two more.
Cotton dropped the second goal Of
the game. Grey Eagles Dolence
got q free throw. Then Cotton
and Nugent went on a four-basket
exchange that set Sauk Centre into
!, a IA point lead at the half, 16 to 2.
A team that had over-played,
was over-anxious and excited, but
like a young colt chatting at the
bit, came to life, settled down,
snatched out Of the thin air some
of the poise they couldn't muster
earlier and the game was on. From
there on in it was theirs all the
way,
Grey Eagle was held with not a
single goal from the floor until in
the final quarter when they got
three. For two quarters lone
free throw had to satisfy their
scoring efforts.
They opened the third with Rose
dahl, Nugent, Hansmann, Cotton
and Mooney back in again and
Nugent clicked for the first follow
ed by Cotton and Hansmann. Then
Proell and Rattle came into the
game and with Rosedahl the two
scored to run the game to 80 to 2
at the end Of the third.
Wiener went into the game now
along with Kurrell and O'Gara and
still the scoring march advanced.
Rattle scored first in the last quar-
ter, Proell followed him and then
Rattle again. Bercheid scored the
first field goal for Grey Eagle
when Wiener fumbled and passed
directly to him and he was down
the floor like a scared rabbit.
Welch scored following his. Rattle
and Cotton came back with two
buckets. Eldred wiped the scoring
sheet clean for Grey Eagle with a
final bucket.
Hansmann and Rosedahl scored.
Hansmann's last score came on a
three-way play with Cotton pass
ing to Nugent who was deep. Too
deep in fact and alert to his pre-
dicament he caught the breaking
Hansmann coming in for a neat
play. =.
The game ended right where 1t
started, some So points and 81 min

After long absence, your report
er Is once again on the job. The
first item of news from the Head
quarters Battery Is about bowling.
A regimental bowling league has
again been organized with Regtl
Hq Btry of course, as one Of the
twelve members Of the circuit.
The team has garnered only one
win In six games, but the first g.
game series was played unfortun-
ately for us, against the Medics,
last seasons champs and reputed-
ly the class Of the league.
Our paramount difficulty up to
now has been certainly not the lack
of good bowlers, but rather getting
the best available men together on
any one night. Several Of our
trundling aces haven't played at all
yet, so with these reinforcements
to bolster the team we are looking
forward to making a more credit
able showing this season.
Here are the summaries Of the
first fUo weeka.

tor Resartus" or Cicero's Conspiracy Of Gaia.
ine?'
And how you allowed lazily that it was all a
waste Of time? Well, so it was according to a
group Of American literary critics recently
polled by Books Abroad" a quarterly literary
magazine. These critics, men Of standing, too,
chose the "Divine Comedy as the world S
worst and most over-rated book. They gave
Paradise LOST second place.
What is classic? Why, classic is work
which, generations after it is written, con.
tinues to have vital interest and meaning for
those who continue to read it. School classics
may be selected by professors who, having
based their careers on deep study of them,
have vested interest in their preservation
But once beyond school days, every man has
the right to choose his own classics. Which
goes not only for books, but for all the ideas Of
life.

BrOwder No Martyr

The decision of the Supreme Court upholdlng
the conviction of Earl Browder on a charge OF
fraudulent use of passport has not silenced
the followers of the general secretary Of the
Communist party in this country. Since our
ears will continue to be assaulted by their
outcries we may as well review these COM
plants now.
One of them is that Browder was convicted
on technicality. It was admitted that he oh.
tanned passports under false names in 1921,
1927 and 1881, that he took refuge in the sta
tute of limitations for these violations Of the
law, that he swore falsely in 1894 that no pre-.
vious passport had been issued to him. It was
admitted that he presented this fraudulently
obtained passport to immigration authorities
to re.enter this country in 1887 and again in
1898.
What Browder did not admit was that he
made "use' Of this passport within the mean
ing Of the law. His argument was that he
could have used birth certificate to get back
into the United States. Communists still insist
that Browder is being prosecuted as If the
integrity of passports granted by the United
States is Of no Importance. But they make
themselves ridiculous when they say that the
reason for this persecution is that Communists
oppose war.
Browder is not "persecuted" for his beliefs
he was prosecuted for breaking the law. His
followers would be wise to cease their wailins,
for the louder they protest the more they
prove that they are free to express themselves
in this country without fear of persecution.

CAMP DAVIS WORK
FORCE Is REDUCED

A reduction in the number of
Camp Davis employees to reach
a more economical working crew"
was disclosed yesterday by the
constructing quartermasters' office.
1t was said that now that the
drainage problem at the camp
reservation has been solved that
less man power is needed in the
construction work. Because of this
the number of employees was re-
duced several hundred this week.
The reductions are based on eff
cheney and the recommendations
Of the area superintendent after a
study Of the situation.
Several problems that came I'm

Of more men than was earlier an

Turkeys Position

On its face the non-aggression pact between
Bulgaria and Turkey represents an Axis vic
tory and British setback. That is the only
possible conclusion when the agreement is
placed against the background Of recent
events.
The fact seems to be that Turkey has
shifted her position. Months ago, when it ap-
Bulgaria against Greece in order to help the
Italians. Turkey warned Bulgaria that any
move to seize an outlet to the Aegean would
mean war; And now, when Bulgaria is SUBJ
mitting to German infiltration, Turkey signs
treaty that appears to represent the exact op-
posite of his attitude.
However, until certain mysterious angles are
cleared up it may be as well to withhold final
Judgment. In London it is said that the nego-
tiations had the British blessing, and if so the
explanation may turn out to be much more
complex than the one advanced in Berlin. 1t
is at least possible that the Turks did not sell
out the British completely in the hope Of saw
ing their own skins.
Suppose, for instance, that the Turks have
an understanding, backed by Russia, that the
Germans will not move against the Dardan-
elles. In that case German pressure might
force the Greeks to make peace, but the
British position in the eastern Mediterranean
would not be in any immediate danger. At
worst they lose the chance Of using Salonika
as bridgehead, but they may not be ready
for such d campaign in any case.
One thing is certain, and that is that the
Axis cannot win the war even by drive that
would eject the British from Suez. The only
path to final victory lies across the English
channel.

. Editorial Comment
LONG TERM INVESTMENT
FAYETTEVILLE Observer

Frank p Graham. president of the Uni
yersity of North Carolina, in his message TO
the members of the joint committee on ap-
propriations of the General Assembly OF North
Carolina told them that never before had the
near-term outlook for the State of North
Carolina been brighter or the long term more
obscure.
Dr. Graham of course, was speaking Spe-
officially of the income of North Carolina in
relation to education. Here in Fayetteville
we find the same condition exists and we
can appreciate what DR.. Graham means. Inc
average income from work and rentals IN
Fayetteville has been advanced materially by
the war boom but there is so much mcer-
tainty as to the duration Of this boom that
private interests fear to make long term IN
vestments, which investments W oul prove
highly profitable should the boom commune
over the long term.
There will be those citizens who will make
the long term investment. 1t may prove high
ly profitable. It may break them. But 1t
will be gamble.
The long term investment which DR.. Graham
is asking the State of North Carolina to make
in the matter Of education, however, is not
a gamble The substance which is purchased
with the investment DR.. Graham desires the
State to make is something which will be in
grained in the minds and lives Of hundreds
Of thousands Of North Caroliniaus, and which
will help them make better State in good
times or in bad.
The General Assembly doesn't have to gam
BILE on this proposition Its course is charted
for it by such leaders as Charles B. Aycock
and the generation of educational spirits which
he launched on the program of scholastic
achievement which this century has made

Obscure conjecture on short term and long
term is not what the people Of North Carolina
need from the Legislature as regards their
institutions Of higher education. They need
all the appropriation the traffic will bear and
then some. Even deficits acquired in the
cause Of education are better than assets
piled up in the cause of ignorance. l

Devil And Deep Blue Sea

Twenty years after crushing democratic
italy by his 'narch on Rome" Benito Mus
solni has succeeded in landing Italy and the
Italian people directly and literally between
the devil and the deep blue sea.
All around Italy to the south is the deep blue
sea Of the Mediterranean, the soft and friend
y sea that the Italians have liked to call Mare
Nostrum, 'our sea- 1t isn't their sea these
days. Only by night dares Mussolini sneak
few ships across to carry supplies to the har-
assed legions now crowded into the far western
corner Of Itelian north Africa. Much Of the
ane fleet built by such sacrifices of the Ital-
ian people lies at the bottom Of that sea, and
the facilities are few indeed to replace them
That sea, instead of a friendly road for carry
ing the peaceful freight of colonial traffic, has
become 4 nightmare, and a road for possible
sttack against the homeland.
And on the other side, the devil just as in
The old proverb. Down through the Brenner
Pass, which Mussolini once swore nightly to
defend, come pouring the legions of the north,
the strutting Germans who with their lex

will be hard indeed to break.
Thus, while the youth of Naples and Milan
and Venice fight and die, or give up the strug.

or in the burning wastes Of Ethiopia, the home.

made it sure that even if Germany wins, Italy
can be nothing but an obsequious and servile
