 America needs strong moral front as well as strong physical defense so the men of Connecti- cut are all invited to attend this convention at Norwalk on Novem- Der 6th to help build our first line; for much of the trouble in the world today is because men turned away from God and forgetting that Jesus said: DO unto others as you would like them to do unto you"

Improved business and e pleni- tude of employment have combined to bring a bull market to the di- vorce exchange in this city.

Chill autumn winds swept over Russia's plains into the field headquarters of Adolf Hitler. They waited the wrath of another Little Corporal who had recklessly invaded Muscovy, been caught in the iccle-toothed trap of Russlas winter and with the tattered, bleeding remnants of his once-conquering Grande Armee, retreated his first steps along the road to oblivion Hitler shivered. Such, might be the picture that moved Hitler to action.
 1t was fear-fear of Russa's winter = observers say, that drove Hitler to precpitate battle of mech anized forces greater than the imagnngs of writers of fantasy fiction. He summoned up every possible ounce of modern materel-planes artillery tanks hundreds and hundreds, obsolete tankettes sal. vaged from times junk pile in Belgium. They charge toward Moscow Russia fights back with all it's great resources. The incredible clash of c'anking ttans Is vsualized in the artists conception above
 The chips are down. The last hand is being played. Hitler ganbles his all for quick victory rather than face the winter that froze Napoeon's glory.

Skinny UIIyot of Eagles Earns
High Rating by Smortness

Whitley Weaver and Keith Allen,
both of whom now are Eagles.
The Quakers were quite a club,
capturing runner-up honors for the
Canadian junior title Champions
were the Winnipeg Rangers and
among the players who aided the
Rangers in snatching the title was
Les Hickey, also currently an Eagle.
Ullyot now is locked with Odie
Hallowell in pacing the Eagles goal
producing department. each having
netted six. Leading point producer
of the Eagles, though, is Tom Nc
Cormack with four goals and eight
assists.
Courteau Is Runner-up.
Fiery Paul Courteau is runner-up
to Mccormack in points with five
goals and six assists and will be
staked to an opportunity to take
over the lead tomorrow night when
the highly regarded Boston Olym-
pics invade Riverside Stadium. Bos-
ton. leading the league, usually
carries American players exclusively,
but this season has been forced
to add several Canadians.
Mccormack will miss several
games due to torn tendons in his
right leg, the result of crashing into
the boards on Tuesday night when
the Eagles Inundated the Baltimore
Orioles, 14-7.

OF the 100 or more players in the
Eastern Amateur Hocky League
probably none owns as much inap-
propriate physical equipment as the
Washington Eagles skinny Kenny
Ullyot. who spreads a mere 14O
pounds over a 5-foot 11-inch frame.
Kenny is an inviting target for
body checks, as irresistible as the
urge to snap a matchstlck. HIS
toothpick structure is a misfit on
the ice, but his playing isn't. He
looms as one of the Eagles Leading
scorers and already Coach Redvers
Mackenzie has stamped him as lone
of the smartest kids I've ever
coached"
Has to Be Smart.
Ullyot's smartness probably Is oo
per cent necessity. His frame isn't
built to stand much punishment
so it's Understandable when ne
doesn't attempt to bull his way past
a brace of burly defensemen. He
places the accent on the niceties OF
the eame-clever stick handling and
fast, shifty skating-to make him

he'll weigh above the 160-pound
limit. Zivic won't 60 over $50 with
couple of wrestlers under his arms
but Fritz will take the match at
any weight. Let's hear what Over
lin has to say about that"
Fritzie gave the fans-and Phil
run for their money last night,
showing them every trick in the
book and definitely putting Pc
riod to the verbose battle of words.
Furr lost the fight in Round l when
Zivic clouted him with everything
but Referee Charley Reynolds shoe.
A puncher would have put Phil
away in this session and he didn't
recover from this opening furry
until late in the battle.
Zivic's Work Inside Is Keen.
Zivics work inside was masterful
He eased out of clinches easier than
movie siren, ripping uppercuts to
the jaw, crossing rights to the head
and using his left for a combination
meat hook and jig-saw. He also
showed great headwork, butting
Phil once while apologizing for
throwing him halfway out of the
ring.
But Furr was pitching at the
finish and apparently getting
stronger as the fight wore on and
Zivic's fire and energy ebbed. Phil
finally got his right hand pumping
in the last two rounds and he piled
it vigorously and viciouSly on Zivic S
head and body, but it was too late
then. Zivic had the dicesion locked
up and knew a knockout was Furr's
only hope. but Fritzie wasn't stick
ing his we'll creased nose in front
Of any kayo raps.

calling himself Manuel Rosa of
