the Bruins succumbed to the ele- ment which always gives a long shot a chance--the human element. best identified in the college game this fall by Holy Cross and Bos- ton College, Auburn and Georgia.
 The night before the play-off the Bears talked of everything but football, especially of the foot ball they were to play the follow ing day. The Redskins were to be taken as a matter of course.
 After the upset, the Bears read. fly admitted that they were not ready - even as group of their college contemporaries might have said.
 Lieut.. -Comdr Halas took no part in the festiviteis, other than a slight Aggression into psychology. It backfired. Halas told his men that a movie contract awaited them after they had polished off the low ly Indians front he MarshaH reser- vation.
 Evidently the impending glitter of the Hollywood stardust blinded the Bears to the task at hand. GETS SHARE THIS TIME
 For the Redskins it was def- mite team victory, but little Ancy Farkas got even twice, and with npa aarforYnn nce
 Sparkling the Redskin drive for their second touchdown and showing that he was the hardest running back on the field, Andy made his mates remember an in- cident two years ago in which the Skins included him out of a share of the play-of money. They got theirs in addition to that little 7s-o appetizer from the same Bears.
 Farkas had been hurt during that season and did not play much. His exclusion caused a furore in Washington, where he is the fair-haired boy of the fans.
 Baugh this time pitched for 60 minutes and demonstrated that, with the aid of a hard-charging line. he passes better than S'd Luckman, who had much trouble hitting his mark with two and three indians on his neck.

STRATEGY

A victory strategy plan being
worked out in close consultation
with the British government IN
London seems 10 call for the of
fenslye defense" of Australia, In
dia and Egypt this spring and sum
mer. coupled with strong offensive
thrusts by the British on the west
ern European front 10 help Soviet
Russia soften up German military
might in preparation for a grand
United Nations worldwide often
sive campaign next year.
The view prevails in diplomatic
quarters that under the victory
strategy plan tremendous reserves
OF men and materials will be built
up in Australia. India and Egypt
this year while the Soviets continue
to bleed the German armies TO
death on the bsttlehelds Of Russia.
To help the Soyiets, the Royal
Air Force, REINFORCED by American
aerial armadas will probably deliv-
er increasingly heavy blows to Ger
many's solar ple1us in western
Europe. At the same time, British
commandos. probably assisted now
and then by American troops, are
expected TO follow up with singing
jabs at the German position along
the channel and North Sea coasts.
In this connection. the Soviet
government appears 10 have
good chance Of Gripping the NaIi
armies this year If Great Britain
will intensity its offensive action
against Germany in western
Europe.
As for the Pacific area, the bat
ties Of Malaga, Singapore and the
Netherlands East Indies are be-
heved TO have convinced the strate-
Ky planners that II will be inn
possible to launch any major land
or sea offensive against the Japa-
nese forces until the United Ma
lions are in a position to gain mas
terry OF the air.
Australia and India must hold
fast while Americas assembly lines
turn out necessary bombers and
fighting planes.
Strong offensive thrusts are fore
seen against the japanese forces
from Australia, India, China, Ha-
wall and the Aleutisn Islands.
These thrusts are considered like
ly to be in the nature OF daring
raids, rather than any major all
out offensive against Japan.
The first three months OF the
war found America in a position
somewhat similar TO that OF Great
Britain after Dunkirk Now Ameri-
ca is beginning TO recover and gain
strength. Soon the Japanese ad-
vance should be checked and then
the tide will begin to turn.
