repeatedly and threw the enemy back.
 Hundreds of Fights Over the 10 mile area between the Don and Voronezh rivers, tens of thousands of men and hundreds of tanks were fighting in hundred or more small battles. German casualties were enormous, front dis patches said, as the enemy com- mand rushed in endorsements over the mangled bodies of the German dead.
 The Germans who had broken into the city streets fortified every house and sought to advance building by building.
 Russian defenders stormed each new position with bayonet and hand grenade, as Russian planes turned the German held areas into an in- ferno, diving down on them in house. top-level attacks.
 On the front south of Voronezh, the Germans pressing down the bend of the Don river forced a Russian withdrawal from Boguchar 125 miles below Voronezh, and were only 175 miles from Stalingrad on the Volga to the east.
 Seventy-five miles below Boguchar the Russians had retired from Mill lerovo, on the Moscow -Rostov rail- road, 125 miles north of Rostov.
 At Millerovo, an important Don- nets Basin railroad center north of the Caucasus, the southern spear head of the Germans advanced an- other 70 miles from Lisichansk tow ard Stalingrad.
 The left prong, pushing down from Boguchar, along the west bank of the Don, apparently aimed to unite with the southern aspearhead for a direct attack on Stalingrad.
 Bitter fighting continued in the Kalinin area on the northwest Mos COW front, where the Russians, af- ter repulsing a German attack counter-attacked and captured a road on a dominating height.

 Took What They Got
 George McMillan, 25, Winter Haven, Fla, said the AVG took what it could get in the way of planes.
 we started out with 100 Tommy hawk fighters, which proved to have more speed than the Jap Zero Fighters" he said. ~"The zeros, however, were lighter and could outmaneuver and outclimb us.'
 we lost damned few in combat, " said James Regis, 25, aerial pho- tographer from Bangor, Me. Most of our losses occurred on the ground from bombings, machine gunning and strafing."
 Chaplain F'riliman gave the fol- lowing formula for the success Of the small band of pilots:
 ''They were all adventurers. Most of them enlisted for excitement. They were not tied down by red tape and could move on moments notice.
 But most important, they had no regard for personal danger. They had more than patriotism = they had plenty of nerve and loved a fight"

 The Germans made a determined counter attack on the ridge yester- day afternoon, using tanks to sup- port their infantry, but were re- pulsed without gain.
 However, today,s communique of the middle eastern command and the Royal Air Force admitted that the Germans had succeeded part ly" in establishing themselves in the Hill of Jesus area easily yesterday, in their third attack to win back ground the British had taken in their first limited offensive last week.
 Imperial troops, including South African and Australian infantry, held the Germans back from the dominant positions, on the high ground of the sector, the communi- que said, adding that throughout yesterday the Imperials hammered strongly at the enemy positions.

 Thus the menace to the Suez canal is still acute. If Rommel starts his new drive and appears to be Attaining his objective, there is 8 tfrono possibility that the Axis may parallel it with an attack, on Syria from Crete. There is limit to the number of troops which can be based on the island, but 1stanbul reports there has lee na steady flow in and put of Crete for months.
 A frontal attack on Syria would be by way of the Italian Dodecanese Islands and the British island of Cyprus, whose eastern extremity is only SO miles from Latakia in Syria. British forces in Syria have been depleted to some extent for use in the Egyptian campaign and a Ger man attack in force would be a serious threat.
 The aim, of course, would be for the Mosul oil fields, Rommel, if he aot past Suez, meanwhile would try tO close in through Palestine and Trans-Jordan.

If you hear someone gargling
night and day for the next week
or more you may surmise that it
is Luther Hanshue, head football
coach of Newark high, and you'll
be just about 80 per cent correct.
Mr.. Hanshue decidedly has a ter
rifle dark brown taste in his
mouth after watching his 1912
edition of Newark high football
Wildcats, with two weeks of prac-
tice behind them, escape with a
scoreless tie against the Alumni
last Saturday afternoon at White
field.
Our Cats staged a very dis
appointing show before a few
hundred sweltering fans as they
failed to score against their un-
conditioned seniors. They blew
their only scoring chance of the
game in the last minutes Of the
final quarter. A bad pass from
center cost the Alumni the ball
on their four yard line. However,
the old grads, with penalty aid
ing them, held off the varsity,
and took over the ball on their
own three. And the crowd gave
the vets big hand for the feat.
Coach Hanshue and Sherman

them during the next two weeks.

Eagle Squadron" from the
screen play by Norman Reilly
Raine, based on a Cosmopolitan
magazine story by C. S. Forester,
contains exploits Of the real Ea-
gle Squadron, whose American
members have written many a
heroic chapter of the war in the
clouds.
In addition, the film shows the
widespread war work of British
women, and the operations of the
famous British Commands, the
daring night raiders who have
terrified the enemy.

dium. And the Cowboys will be
looking for revenge as they have
suffered two defeats in the last
two years by the Cats.
Newark's prospects for a win
ming season should appear bright
as seven regulars are lettermen.
Last year Newark had one of the
outstanding halfbacks in high
school circles of the state in Jack
Bickel. Jack returns this season
as a senior. Big Bill Gorsuch,
the pile-driving fullback of last
years successful eleven, is also
back this year as a junior. Cor
such has been shifted to an end
position, but the Cats have a
speedy senior, Bill Winn, playing
full in the place of Gorsuch. Bob
Bieberbach will be the quarter
back and Paul Jackson, a young
ster with plenty Of speed, will be
paired with Bickel as the Wild
cats halfbacks.
The Wildcat line will be sprink-
led with vets. Zelnar Thomas, a
colored boy, will be Gorsuch's
mate at the other end of the line.
Don Tanes and Paul Messick will
be the tackles. Earl Orr will take
care of the center post. Zill Bline,
Ray Wheeler, one of the best
guards in Central Ohio, and Jack
Yarger, will handle the guard
positions.
The Wildcats have a chance for
another excellent season, but they
must earnestly practice this COM
ing week for they were sadly in
efficient in every phase of play
last Saturday afternoon.
