Clarence P. Cook, chairman of the local chapter of the Commit tee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, issued the following statement last night:
 "The tonnage of merchant shipping sent Co the bottom of the sea, increasing as it has dur ing recent weeks, presents to any thoughtful American an alarm ing, even an Omlnous, situation. The speech of Prime Minister Churchill on April 10 and more recently that of the British Am bassador, left little room for spec uIati0n or for doubt that if the shipping losses continue at their present rate for long, Britain's position will become desperate in- deed-so desperate that we may be left alone, dangerously alone, to face . hostile world ruled by force and dominated by the Axis powers, whose ambitions, 90 they openly desire, are to recast the world, including ourselves, In their own evil image.
 We have great productive ca- pacity. We can turn out of our factories planes, tanks and guns and all the implements of war. We can load them into ships, but they must reach England and her armies at the front if they are to De useful We can insure their arrival by protecting them, by protecting the ships carrying the supplies, either by using Che con. vOy method or any method that Is found to be most effective.

PRINCETON. N. j., Nov. 1T
was the old story of one perfect play,
perfectly executed. as an otherwise
inept Harvard eleven inaugurated
the big three campaign here today
with a 6-to-4 triumph over Prince
ton before $4,000 rain-soaked spec
tators.
It was in the third period, with
Princeton leading 20 and appar-
emily bound for one of the season S

like a bolt out of the weeping sky
to score it's touchdown and leave
the Princeton team slipping and

second quarter.

But MacKinney never tired TO
kick this time. On first down the
ball was snapped directly to Francis
Lee. Crimson halfback. There was
no hocus- -pocus whatever. Lee SIM
ply shot through a yawning hole
in the right side of Princeton's line,
and instantly into the clear. For
some reason, the Tigers defense had
ben pulled completely in. There
wasn't even a safety man.
Once he was past the line OF

except out-run pack of Prince
ton pursuers for 81 yards. Some OBJ
servers said that he was touched
by tackler at about the 20. but
others insisted it must have been a
phantom. Down the soegy turf Lee
scooted. looking back over his
shoulder every now and then.
Finally. when Lee was about 5
yards from the goal, Ed Rose of
Princeton left his feet in desperate
dive and managed to trip the flee
