First, there is no danger of Rus

terrific knocks but is still a de-

Second, Germany has suffered
her first major land defeat since

two months at Stalingrad as the

flee. Russia now looks to her
allies; she cannot finish the job
alone.

COSTLY VICTORIES

German loses in Russia. con-
servatively estimated, have been
about two and half million men
in 1912. Most of these have been
killed or completely disabled;
neither side takes many prisoners.
Russian losses have been somewhat
higher, owing TO the enemy's guam
titatlve superiority in tanks and
airplaneS.
Stalingrad may hold indefinitely,
but, regardless of the outcome. il
can fairly be compared With the
battle of Rorodino, which Napo-
leon won but suffered so many
casualties that he was later forced
TO retreat from Russia. He said at
the time:
more victories like this and
/ am n ruined man."

THEY CLEANED HOUSE

But the SovietS took a different
view. They said. the Red Army
had had eight months to prepare
for the defenSes of Rostov, yet
the city fell ridiculouSly easy.
They. said there must be some
thing wrong with their own COM
mand, inefficiency or perhaps
worse. The Russians have never
believed in the myth of German
invincibility.
So they Investigated, and they
found much TO support their be-
lief that RoStov need not have
fallen. Then they cleaned house
in the well-know Soviet way. No
fine line is drawn in Russia be-
tween carelessness and laXity and
outright treachery.
The battle of the bend of the
Don was fought in August but
more important, the Red Army
command was completely re-
formed. And when September ar
rived and the Germans opened
their shock offensive against Stall
ingrad the Soviets were ready for
them. Gen. Gregori Zhukoff stayed
on the central front long enough

Russia, however, paid a terrible

have failed to attain their objec-

slant reminders of the cost.

Over 200 Golf Pros

Planning 10 Join

More than 200 of the approx
mately 1900 members of the Pro-
fesSional Golfers Association now
are in the armed services, and many
more are planning to don uniforms.
This is one of the reasons why pro
tournament golf is going into a tail
spin during the war and why tour
naments are being Cancelled to the
point where only two are definitely
scheduled during the next few
months
Topliners among the pros now in
uniform include PGA Champion
Sam Snead, runnerup Jim Turnesa,
Ed Oliver, Vic Ghezzi. Leo Mallory,
Matt Kowall and Jack Isaacs, who
won the 1941 Middle Atlantic PGA
title. Scheduled soon to don uni
forms are Craig Wood, holdover
National Open champion of 1941
and Lawson Little, 1910 Open king.
The pro linksmen are getting into
uniform fast, and many more are
scheduled to join up.
Local professionals in service are
Warner Gray, Virgil Worsham, Ed
die Stevens, Jocko Miller, Ray Will
lett and Dewey Ricketts,. One for
mer assistant pro-LeW FahrenWald
of Kenwood-has been killed in &C
ton in the Solomon Islands, and the
Middle Atlantic PEA plans to send
a scroll to his mother, although Lew
was not PGA member.
Tournament sponsors, figuring to
get back part of their expenses by
importing topline pros, cannot count
nowadays on appearance of the
headlined boys. That, combined
with transportation troubles, &C
counts for the wholesale cancella-
ton of tournaments.

As Teams Prepare for
Golden Anniversary

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov.
1.-THE golden anniversary game
OF the North Carolina Virginia foot
ball series will be played Saturday
at 3 o'clock in Scott Stadium.
This series is the oldest continu-
Gus football rivalry in the South.
Games have been played every year
since 1892, except in 1899, 1906, 1909
and the two autumns Of World
War I, 1916 and 1917.
Virginia is one game ahead, with
~ victories to 81 for the Caro-
nnians, as result of last years
27-to-7 triumph.
This fall finds Virginia back in
the underdog role.
Virginia was left with the lightest
and smallest Virginia squad In many
years after 20 players responded to
the call Of Uncle Sam and now are
In Arvy, Navy or Marine Corps uni
forms.
Coach Frank Murray and his staff
have taken this light, inexperienced
squad, however, and have developed
a team that has for the last several
weeks been ranked among the Ma
lions leaders in forward passing.
Turnbull Gillette has been on the
pitching end of most of virginia's
passing gains. This slender, 1874
pound youngster is the son Of one
Virginia grid great, who played end
on teams that defeated Carolina in
1914 and 1915, and is the younger
brother Of the 1899 co-captain, Jim
Gillette, jr.
Virginia's success in pass COM
pletions has been due not only to
the 1.-the right arm of Gillette, but
also to the fact that Is Cavalier
ends and backs have done their
share Of receiving.
Return of Herb Munhal. Vir-
gin1a's best rushing back, and the
possibility that Don Nikalson may
see duty, also have spurred the
Cavaliers. Virginia's two Eddies,
Byrant and Kreick, its fastest backs,
also figure largely in the prepare
lions for playing the closing game.
