moral support of the cause.
His appeal was made at a press

the Jewish Agency for Palestine for
the establishment of Jewish mill

banner and under British COM
mand."
Already 10000 young Jews from
Palestine, he said. had volunteered,
and had seen service in many thea
ters of war and Palestine Jews still
were being recruited for service with
Britain. But if a Jewish military
force were formed. many more could
be enlisted to fight, he contended.
What people. what group have
more at stake?" asked Emanuel
Neumann of New York, an official
of the Zionist Organization. Hitler
has openly proclaimed the annihila-

of pace. Just when you think he is going at top speed, he slips the throttle another notch and really slips into high gear.
 Kmetovic can take 1t, too. He took a severe beating from the burly Nebraskans, but at the finish he was wearing smile and tip-toeing about with plenty of spring left in his muscles.
 Overlooked
 Before the Rose Bowl game the talk was all about Standlee, Gallar- neau, Luther, Hopp and Rohrig. They were the bail carriers who were rated as tops and likely to stand out. But Kmetovic was SO much better than any of them--so much smarter, faster, tougher-that you wondered why the coast experts had elected to hide his light under bushel of clippings--for other backs.
 He'll be back next year. So will almost all of the Stanford team that dusted Nebraska. So will Clark Shaughnessy. This means that all the Rose Bowl boys have to worry about from now until this time next year is a suitable opponent for the Indians. No matter what team comes out, I'll take my man Kmeto- vic to be the star. He has 1t, and he hands it out. Ask Nebraskal

Detroit Moves Up

Montreal climbed out of the eel. lar and Detroit moved to within four points of first place in two New Years Day hockey games play- ed in the National League.
 A freak goal gave the Canadiens their upset 2-l vi mover the New York Rangers. Ranger Forward Allie Pike, trying to clear the puck from in front of his own net, acci- dentally knocked 1t In. Grabowski was credited with the score.
 The Red Wings made 1t four straight over the Chicago Black Hawks with a Al decision. Two fights featured the game, one in the opening period. resulted in major penalties to six players. The other started after the games end, threat ened general mixup with several spectators involved before order was restored.

Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 2-(UP)--Do me a favor, will you?
 Take all the AE-American teams that didn't honor Pete Kmetovic with a halfback position, wrap them carefully in a cement slipover, and drop them in the river along with that last batch of ring-tailed kivtens.
 Make sure it's deep river, too. I don't want any All-America teams without kmetovic on them havlng a single chance to float and thus haunt their pickerS any longer.
 What I'm trying to say-and I'm a man who'll finally say what he aims to even if 1t takes 17,000 words lis that Kmetovic is the best half- back I have seen since the start of the 194O Afootball season. And mod- est creature that am, I'll point out with calloused index finger, that I saw just about all the good ones.
 Tn name you a few that kme.ovic, who is the main reason Stanford beat Nebraska in the Rose Bowl. is superior to. There's Decor. evont. There's Franck. There's Reagan. There's -well, that's enough to give you general idea.
 Kmetovic didn't even make the official all-coast team. He was for- gotten in the balloting for Gallar- neau, teammate. The fact that Gallarneau scored two touchdowns to Kmetovic's one in tie Rose Bowl yesterday, doesn't alter my view. Gallarneau's first score was set up Pete's runs.
 Expert View
 Major Bin Jones said after the game that Kmetovic was one of the finest backs he had seen since he was a plebe at West Point, and the major enrolled at the Point just about the time Attila the Hun was miIitaristic scourge.
 Kmetovic is faster than 8 dog chasing it's own tail around q greased pole. And he doesn't take long to get fast, meaning that he needs no spur to start him of. With his speed he has an the thingl that make for yards in the open fleld. He can show tackler lee and take it avAN with a HOhqini touch. TIe has a beautiful change

 The east got off to an early start in the first period when Michigan's Tom Harmon, pennsylvania's Frank x. Reagan and Princeton's Dave Alleridce marched 36 yards to score, Harmon passing the last eight yards to Forest Evashevski of Mich- igan. Tony Ruffa of Duke convert ed.

 ChriStman and Johnson went to work and in four minutes tied the scoreh moving 67 yards on half- dozen plays. A 17-yard spot pass from Chrisman to Dean McAdanas of Washington turned the trick, and McAdamS kicked the point
 On another five minutes the west was out in front to stay. From the east 43, Christmas passed to Hozard Hickey of Arkansas for tD yards, then tossed one to Jack Ban- ta of U. s. c. for Q touchdown. Hickey kicked the goal.
 The final western score came in the closing seconds of the third period on a thriller-dille cooked up by coaches Babe Hollingbery of Washington State and Matty Bell of Southern Methodist.
 After johnson had passed twice to Banta for 22 yards, the west quickly lined up, and from stand ing start with no signals called, sprung Johnson around end. He gal- loped 52 yards without ax1 eastern player touching him.
 The east combination of Harmon and Ed Frutig of Michigan then be- gan to click with passed from their own 36-yard stripe. Harmon faked a punt from the west 21 and passed to Frutig, who outsnatched two westerners in the end zone. Tony Ruffa of Duke converted to con- plete the days scoring.
