French Loyalty
To Nazis Urged
By Laval Paper
His Collaboration
Revealed as Meaninet
Utter Subservience
BY J. C. oEsTREICHER

BY j. c. OESTREICHER
International News Service Foreign Editor
Pierre Laval has torn the veil
from exactly what he means by
collaboration" with Germany.
He intends that France shall be
completely subservient TO the Nazi
Reich.
The exposition takes the form
of an extraordinarily frank article
in Laval's newspaper, the Moniteur
of Clermont- Terrand, France,
copy of which has just reached
this country.
Published anonymously. the ar
ticle goes far beyond anything
that Laval has said publicly or in
interviews. But the Moniteur is
his official newspaper and the con-
illusions must be accepted as the
true aims and beliefs of Laval and
his observation-disclosures"
"a British radio broadcast
picked up by MIC said that
Laval is reported to have re-
covered from the attempt on his
life last August" and is back in
Paris where he will resume his
normal activities.")

and engines to one Of the finest rail-
road systems IN the world.
North Carolina was the Seaboard'>
FIRST rail goal. 1t is borne out by his
iory that the franchises and property
OF the Weldon Toll Bridge Company,
which had been Incorporated by a
special act Of the North Carolina les
stature in 1881, and amended by a
special act in 1888, allowed for the
construction and operation of 4
wagon toll road over the Roanoke
liver near Weldon. SuDsequcnljv
that company d merged into the
Portsmouth and Roanoke Railroad
Company. By this merger that rail
road was enabled to construct its line
into North Carolina.
In order to bring into North Car
DINA as many visitors and homeseek-
ers as possible, the Seaboard offers
the lowest rail rates in history and
the finest equipment. The industrial.
freight and agricultural departments
are always on the alert to serve to
the best Of their ability.
North Carolina is an integral part
of the SeabOard. being n of the SIN
great southern states served by the
road, and the railroad is proud of the
good will and friendly associations
with the Old North State.

CROWN WARNS
 TANKS 'TOUCH'
May Be Best for Next Two Years, Says Boston Red
 SOx Manager

Boston, Oct. s-(UP)-Manager Joe Cron1n of the Boston Red Box believes it's going to be another long, tough haul to stop" the New York Yankees march through the American League.
 Cronin, who has piloted the Red Sox to the runnerup berth in three of the last four campaigns, said on his return from the World Series yesterday that right now the Yankees haven't got a weak spot in their lineup"
 "They have an average age that's going to make them tough to stop next year or even two years from now unless the rest of us can take some constructive steps along those lines"
 The only chance of disintegration according to Cronin, lis behind the bat where Bill Dickey isn't getting any younger. That's Q most important cog in this Yankee ma chine, too, because there's no doubt that Bill is one of the greatest receivers and handlers of pitchers of all time."
 Cronin thought the Yankees were in a hitting slump in the World Series but that they really proved their class by winning with great defense ard their pitching coming through"

to date in addition to lending the passing and running attack. As Q passer he probably has no equal in New England and only the fail- ure of his receivers to catch the ball has kept his completion aver. age down.
 Coach Disappointed
 Polishing of of the passing and running game and great emphasis on the protection for the passer and kicker has occupied much of the time with the UConnS this week. Christian was disappointed at Mass. State in the failure of the team to put across touchdowns on four scoring opportunities in the last quarter and oil the efforts of the week by players and coaches alike gives indication that his diss appointment in this department will not continue.
 The morale of this young Con- recticut squad, which now has only two seniors likely to appear in the cSarting lineup, is good and they face the rest of the schedule con. fident that victory will be theirs in many games. This spirit and mo- rale will be bolstered greatly ct Middletown by a fifty-five piece university band and . large num- Der of the student body and fac- ulty who will make up . part of the Connecticut contingent ex- pected to attend the game.

FORDHAM RAMS RATED TOPS IN
 EARLY SEASON
"This Is The Year" Rose Bowl WelI-Wishers
 Believe
By WILLIAM TUCKER

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, Oct. g. (UP) -- The Tordham Rams run rampant in the east. They have speed and finesse pus Sophomore verve which win them the ticket to gory denied in 1886 when the seven books Of granite" proved excess babhage for the Rose Bowl express.
 If the Rams weather their eight. game schedule against opponents from every section of the nation they will well deserve fulfullment of the long stan ding "Rose Hill to Rose Bowl" dream. They began their card Saturday, beating Southern Metho- dist 16-i0. They play North Carolina this week and then it's West Vir. ginia, Texas Christian, Purdue, Pittsburgh, St. Marys Aand New York University.
 The bend Of experience and so- phomore enthusiasm gave Fordham its first touchdown against Sn1u. The pay was & 66-yard galop by Sophomore Joe Andrejco who took a pass over the line from the Veter- an Steve Filipowicz. The run was made possible by a block by another Sophomore, George Cheverko. Che. verKo not only laid out an Smu back but the umpire as well.
 Other major eastern elevenS weathering last weekend included Navy, Army, Colgate, Cornell, co. lumbit, Holy Cross, Yale, Pennsyl- vania, N. Y. U., Cornell. Dartmouth and Princeton but none had the opposition of the Rams.
 Army So-S0
 Navy warmed slowly but moved under forced draft in the second half to bury West Virginia 40-0 Army looked none too impressive in getting by the Citadel l9-6. Cornells Big Red, with most of It's l040 stars graduated. pulled a 1ukewarni up' set, defeating Syracuse by touch- down. Pennsyvania walloped Har- vary 1920 and Dartmouth trompleo Amherst, AFT and gained early recognition in the Ivy league.
 Xake saw tkuCG ABAAAU VSuSAA downs before the Bue pulled itself together in the second half to win 2i-l9 and save Coach Spike Nelson'f debut. Princeton turned in the best performance of the Big Three by trimming Williams 20-7.
 Hoyas Humbled
 Georgetown, which appeared to be of to another great season when it upset Mississippi, was the No. l up- set victim, dropping & 80 decision to Virginia polytechnic Institute.
 Once-beaten Purdue laid emphasis on the de-emphasis at Pitt by de- feating the Partners 6-0.
 While Fcrdham plays North Caro- lima in Chapel Hill, other important games involving eastern teams this week are:
 Temple vs. Georgetown at Phila- delphia: Army vs. Virginia military at West Point: Boston College vs Slemson at Boston: Dartmouth vs Colgate at Hanover; Harvard vs Cornell at Cambridge: Michigan vs Pittsburgh at Ann Arbor; N. Y. U vs. Texas A. & M. at New York; Princeton vs. Columbia at Prince ton; Syracuse vs. Holy Cross al Syracuse: and Yale vs. Pennsyl- var1ia at New Haven.

storrs, October e-Coach. J. O. Christian has been working his UConn football squad very hard all week in preparation for the game with Wesleyan at Middletown on Saturday. Connecticut. with two losses to Coast Guard TO and Mass. State o-6, will be looking for their first victory of the season as will the Cardinals who lost to Brown 2o-7 and to Bowdoin i3.7 in their first two starts.
 The loss of Jesse Sherwood who Is due to report for induction into the Army on october 18th ard Al Atwood, co-captain and regular right tackle, who will be out for Q short time due to an injured rib received in the Mass. State game, complicates the situation. Atwood and Sherwood started ct tackle in the Coast Guard game, with Sher- wood playing the best game of his brief career. Sherwood was not available for the Mass. State game and Atwood, who sustained his in- jury early in that game, did not feel the full effects of 1t until after the game was over. Christy will now have to rely on two juniors, Kenneth Maikkula and Bob HofI mann and 6 Sophobore, John Greenwood, and should also be able to get some help from Sol Silverstein, Bill Carter and Dave Gordon.
 McSherry Looks Good
 The rest of the line showed up fairly well in the Mass. State game with Charlie Molloy. a sophomore, shading "Swede" Ostrom at right guard and Roger Olmsted having the better of the play over Al Pin- sky tand Sol Silverstein at lief guard. Milt Dropo and Howard Comstock, both sophomores, have been doing well at center and their work should improve in the Wes- leyan game. At the ends, Dick Aubrey and Pete McSherTy have been playing better ball than Co., Captain Moe" Paine and Vince Cuddy, both of whom started the season, and they, along with Char lie Cass and Bill Dripchak should see plenty of action against the Cardinals of Middletown.
 The experimentation still con- tinues in the backfield with Joe Toffolon making 8 strong bid for the block back assignment in atl tempting to oust Co-Captain How ard Mohr from his post. His work against Mass. State was one of the encouraging features of the game and provides Christian with adequate reserve strength here.
 Joe Perko's work at fullback in the two games to date has given him a right for the starting berth over Earl DeCarli. However, both boys have yet to reach their peak and both should improve . great deal as the season progresses Coach Christian will rely on soplio- nlores Bob Harris and Ray 6cussel at the halfback posts. but Walter Mallnosky, Gene Kovacs. Jchu Toifolon, Charlie Revelli, Jim Ma- honey and Ken Brundage are all looking better and working hard to gain starting positions.
 The coaching stan has tried all week Co perfect a pass defense against the potent Wesleyan pass ing attack. In Jim Carrier, thl Cardinals have the best ABfnal collegev back in New EneSaEsG. Thl siO b. fullback has proven Q bul. waEk on defense ln tho two gnmsl

System Of Numbering Men
 Footballs Newest Move for Spectators
Average Fan Made Expert By Changes
BY HARRY CRIMSON (NEA Service Sports Edltor)

New York, Oct. 8.--Football has done much for the coingort and con. venience of spectators.
 By keeping them well informed during the course of battle, the col- leges and professionals have made experts of average fans.
 Being introduced this fall is a new sirnplisled system of number ing players which is @ long step in the right direction. Customers are able to tell by number what posi- tion each athlete plays.
 Ends are numbered in the 00s, left ends carrying odd numbers, right ends even. Tackles are num- bered likewise in the 70s, guards in the eos and centers in the sos. Right halfbacks are numbered from 10 to 1o, qtarterbacks in the POS, full- backs in the sos and left halfbacks in the 40s.
 Colleges might just as well go all the way and adopt the National Football Leagues plan of number ing refereers from l to 9, umpires AAOAA 4V " 4UD 4ACANl JAdbCc 4AOhk ~ to 20 and head linesmen from 30 to 30.
 SCOREBOARD, MARKERS
 PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM
 Originally, nothing was done for spectators. They weren't even pro- vided with seats .. stood along the idelines.
 Wooden stands came first. Then college stadiuns, the first of which was the Harvard, built in 1903 and accommodating 27,000.
 The scoreboard, which came soon after that, was 6 big advance. It gradually grew into the current up- to-date scoreboard showing the number of the man carrying the ball, the man making the tackle, the down and the position of the ball on the field.
 Yard markers have been im- proved for patrons. First there were none, then there were small paint cd signs ct every 10-yard mark. Now many colleges place large figures in line on the turf opposite the 10- yard lines. Some schools even put these markers inside the sidelines.
 The public address system, in- stalled in virtually every college stadium and field and baseball park
