Churchill offered no clue to the
crucial second front question of
when, where, and how. He said he
would let Hitler worry about that.
But he emphasized that the means
for victory lay in the hands of
America and Britain if they throw
the full force of their united
strength into the conflict.

turn of the war, improvement in
the battle of the seas and apparent

British success has been scored in

Churchill revealed that Russia has
not been entirely satisfied with Al

clear his belief that offensive ac-

shadow of doubt as to the whole

Churchill confined his comment
on the Russian front to nothing to-

that her armies still were in the

ANN ARBOR, Aug. 29.-Just as
assuredly as Tom Kuzma came
along to replace All-American Tom
Harmon last year. there's a full
back on the University football
team who will take over this year
where All-American Bob WeStfall
finished.
1t might be Don Boor, the Dear
born Junior, who resembles last
years Wolverine captain in APP
pearance as well as in perform
ance. And it might be Don Lund,
the sophomre from Detroit South
eastern, who was judged one OF
the best high school backs in
Michigan during his senior year.
Or il could be Bob Weise, the
Jamestown. N. d.. soph. who dis
tinguished himself during spring
practice. Boor, who earned his
letter last year, rates the edge
going in, but either one of these
yearlings is capable of starting
the first game and continuing
