NJ SHVILLE, TENN.-This Blue
1 y grass section of Tennessee is
heavily endowed with coaches,
scouts and other football veterans
who from a central position cover
almost the entire map. And two of
the first questions they ask are
"Who is going to beat Minnesota
this fall?" "Who is going to beat
Fordham?"
Most of these experts have been
working around with various foot
ball summer schools of instruction
so they are in close touch with
major portion of the football map.
Football interest is no longer Sec
tional. 1t is widespread. 1t covers
the country.
"From all the early gossip could
pick up" one leading coach said,
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1941-09-11
What They Tell You

Here are few more items they
bring up.
"You can watch Frank Thomas
and Alabama in the South. Not far
from the front, anyway. You can
bank on Mississippi with Hapes and
Hovious to be dangerous-yOu can
rate Vanderbilt well above last year
and you can enter Georgia with
some of the best material in the
South, especially in the backfield."
"The Southwestern scramble will
be one of the hottest in years with
Texas exceptionally good, S.M.U.
close and several others above last
years strength. This will hardly
include Texas A. and M. which has
lost almost it's entire 1910 first
stringers. If I had to name lead
er now I'd make it Texas"
"Outside of Minnesota in the Mid
west you can keep an eye on Notre
Dame and Northwestern, with i'm
provement in Wisconsin, Indiana
and Ohio State. Michigan has lost
too many stars from her great outfit
of last fall"
Tennessee loses many stars, plus
Coach Bob Neyland. Tulane and
Duke will be good. Both Nebraska
and Missouri lose important cogs."
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1941-09-11

"my guess would be that Mime
sofa and Fordham-the Gopher and
the Ram-would be the two hardest
to beat. Both get rough early tests
against Washington and S.M.U.,
both exceptionally strong, but hard
ly strong enough to drive back the
two combinations Bernie Bierman
and Jim Crowley will be able to
wheel into action. They have the
backs and the lines, plus the needed
reserves. They have speed to give
away and even more power"
what about Notre Dame?" 1
asked.
Extremely good, especially in
the backfeld," my adviser said.
Red Sanders, Harry Mehre and
flock of other coaches have been
working around in these summer
schools with many other able pro-
fessors from other points east and
west, north and south.

From the East

what did you pick up from the
eastern scouts outside of Fordham's
Rams?" I asked 49,.
"Navy should come next. Swede
Larson has a fine squad. Cornell
won't be any flop although Snavely
has lost most of his 1910 starters.
Colgate will be better. So will Co.
lumbia. didn't hear so much about
Harvard and Princeton, but I know
Harvard has been hard hit by air
force and army losses. But they
tell me Yale may be one of the
surprises. Spike Nelson has a we'll
drilled squad and he will also call on
the T-formation with some fast,
hardhitting fellows to carry it
through. Don't rate Yale any push
over this time.
"Army and Dartmouth are doubt
full. Georgetown will be very good
again, but Boston college loses it's
coaching staff and such people as
O'Rourke, Gladchuck and Kerr, and
can't be as strong as BIC. was last
fall. Pittsburgh is another guess.
my ranking would be Fordham,
Navy, and then a pretty general
sort of mixup, which is good for
general football interest"
''In the Far West they rate STAN
ford on top again, with Washington
a close second"
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the group that 1941 would pile up a
new record attendance. They point
to the crowds the Yankees and
Dodgers have drawn in baseball and
football doesn't demand any such
winning consistency.
You can figure in advance how
many highly excited spectators No
tire Dame will draw at every start
especially against Army, Navy,

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Taking "a cue from the German
Stuka dive bombers, U. S. army en-

siren in the midget NIB tanks. It's

and the army is counting on its
scare power, at 70-mile an hour

AMERICAS ANSWER

: The OPM is just releasing for wide
distribution its first post promoting
its drive for greater production.
Entitled ".America's Answer-Pro-
duction!" it is a masterpiece of
power and drama. 1t pictures a
brawny arm twisting monkey
wrench fastened to the letter 90"
shaped like machine nut-in the

The artist is Jean Karlu, as free
Frenchman as ever worked with
one arm. He lost his right arm
fighting for Democracy in the first
World war and, until the fall of
France, was doing an expert left
handed job painting posters for the
French government.
Recently arrived in this country,
Karlu wanted to continue his fight
for a free France. He submitted
his poster idea in sketch form and
SOPM officials snapped it up.

SMASHED PLANES

President Roosevelt didn't an
nounce it, but there were two big
reasons why Pan American Anyways
is taking aver the ferrying of air
planes across the South Atlantic
up the interior of Africa to the Near
East
One reason has since been pub
lished, the need of American war
planes to help the British in Iran
and thus protect Russian oil fields
in the Caucasus.
The other has not been published
namely that the British had been
wrecking an extraordinarily large
number of brand new planes in fly
ing them across Africa.
AS a matter of cold, unpleasant
fact, the British have been losing
about 20 per cent of the planes we
have been giving them.
This was partly because the Brit
ish did not use their own pilots, but
Czech, French, Poles and Dutch.
These aviators, sometimes too full
of sloe gin, and sometimes not too
well trained in the tough job of han
ding fast war planes, have succeed
ed in scattering the wrecks over the
heart of Africa.
Furthermore, central Africa is
one of the most uncharted and diff
ficult flying areas in the world. The
hop across the Atlantic has not
caused the casualties 1t is the re-
mainder of the flight, from Freetown
on the west African coast, up to
Egypt.
This is why Roosevelt finally
called upon Pan American Always
to take over the African hop. It's
pilots have done a brilliant job of
pioneering the jungles of the Anna
ION and the peaks of the Andes.
And Roosevelt figured that if any,
one could fly over Africa, Pan Amer,
lean could do it.

POLITICAL DYNAMITE

There was real political dynamite
behind that letter President Roose-
welt sent the Young Democrats con-
vention in Louisville blasting Demo-
cratic isolationists as constructions
lists who are in the wrong party
The scorching attack was a tip-off
on undercover plans which may
make next years congressional
elections the hottest in years.
Nothing has been said about it, but
certain administration and Republi-
can leaders have discussed uniting
Democratic and Republican forces
to oppose all congressional isolation
lists regardless of party label.
Under the proposed plan, Admin
istration-G.O.P. backing would be
thrown behind incumbent anti
isolationist congressman whether
they are Democrats or Republicans.
Furthermore strong coalition candi-
dates would be entered against iso-
lationist congressman seeking re-
election.
One of the most significant things
about the plan is that it has the
hearty approval of Wendell Willkie.
Discussing it with a group of
friends the COP. standard bearer
declared, "The people should have
the opportunity in. every senatorial
and congressional election next year
for clear-cut expression of opinion
on this all-important issue of foreign
policy. This referendum should
not be cluttered up with phony or
inconsequential issues.
"In districts represented by iso-
lationists we should put the strong
est candidate in the field we can
get, regardless of his party label or
economic views. I'd like to see
young men and women brought into
this campaign. Let's get away from
the old political hacks. Let's bring
youth into this fight. It's theirs pri-
marily and they should be in the
lead in it.
Personally, I am prepared to sup
port anti-isolationist candidates re-
CARELESS of their party utilization or
economic views. If they are right
on the foreign issue, then I will be
for them and will take the stump
for them"

1--WE have learned a little wisdom in
the hard school of experience, and if
we fight in this war it will be only
when we are attacked by either side.
Economic pressure, foreign agrees
sion, or promises of an Irish utopia
after the war, are not going to shift
the Irish people from policy of
peaceful neutrality"
The Irish are close enough to the
warning nations to have first hand
information. They are liberty low
ing people like the Scandinavians,
and do not wish to be embroiled in
every war for supremacy between the
larger European. powers. Ireland has
existed long enough to have learned
a lesson through observing the power
changed from one country to another,
and to realize the futility of getting
all excited over fighting some other
country's war.

Free Speech

The Presidents insinuating t h t
Colonel Lindbergh was on the order
of the copperheads in the Civil war
has caused resentment. ALT Landon,
former governor of Kansas, had de-
clined an invitation to be chairman
of meeting sponsored by the Ameri-
ca First Committee in Omaha, but
when the President snarled at Lind
bergh, the former governor and Re-
publican nominee for president in
1886, decided that he would preside
at the meeting. He also added some
definite words about upholding free
speech in America.
So long as America is not at war,
and let us hope that we may never
enter another war unless attacked,
we are going to have free speech
here in this land of democracy. No
president, no governor, or any other
official is going to deny any other
citizen, high or low, the right to ex-
press his candid opinions.

LIKE A MERRY-GO-ROUND

Editor Askov American:
A well-meaning friend writes to
know why 1 take the side of "old
dodgers, down-and-outs and buns"
A ''well-heeled, safe-from- the-howl-
ing-wolves" person should know
where he belongs, which isn't down
with ''beggars," he concludes.
My primary concern is with the
up-and-in class. AS long as it's safe,
I'm safe. But it's not safe as long as
there's growing down-and-ou class
which is recruited from the up-and-
in class.
The more empty pockets there are,
the harder it is for my business
friends to stay in business. A glance
at the empty store buildings warns
me of that. If little business doesn't
have customers, big business can't
have customers.
Non-buying hurts retailers, bank
ers, stockholders, coupon-clippers,a and
finally gets back to the farmer, dairy
man, poultryman, and even the farm
hand and the milk wagon driver. The
bump" finally gets back to us "big
shots" again. We can't stand that
indefinitely.
In order that all of us may stay
in business the "old codgers", the
"down-and-outs," and the "bums''
must buy more. The more they buy
the safer it is for us. To save our
selves we must save others.

FREE SPEECH
(ABA Journal, New York Mills)

(ABA Journal, New York Mills)
Harold Stassen has Hitlerized the
radio in Minnesota. He did this
when he stopped Senator George
Lommen of Eveleth from giving a
speech purporting to show that Stas-
sens streamlining administration isn't
all it is cracked up to be. Lommen's
speech would have shown that the
only thing Stassen has been able to
streamline is the pockets of the tax
payers. Lommen's speech would have
pointed out that these young modern
lists and streamlining experts have
saved the state so much money that
the legislators are looking high and
low for something to tax They have
been so frugal with the taxpayers
money that sales tax is about the
only solution to a free spending,
high adventure administration.
But the bad part of it all is that
Harold Stassen has shown his utter
contempt for the constitution-the
right for free speech. He has trampled
that priceless heritage gained by the
suffering and bloodshed of our found
ing fathers, into the muck and mire.
Voltaire said-"I wholly disapprove
of what you say, but will defend to
the death your right to say it."
