broke into major league baseball
using the cross-handed batting
stance, was not unpleaSed with his

The writer points out that last
years Cavalier football team
would have tied with Duke for
the championship and that the
1941 McCann Harman basket

a good chance of capturing cage

squads also would be conference

The return of the Cavaliers,
too, probably would bring about
the revival of the defunct boxing

our troubled world today"
President Roosevelt said: Il am
happy to give my Endorsement to
the setting aside of December 13 as
Universal Bible Sunday.
These days of crisis have brought
strain and anguish to American
homes. but they have brought also
a ouickened sense of the strength
which religion alone can give to our
people.
The crisis of the world today is
q moral crisis. The essential war is
a war of values, and the stake for
which mankind is contending is the
right to be free. The Christian
conception of man created in the
image of God, that tradition of
human freedom and dignity which
over many centuries has gradually
achieved democracy as its secular
expression, is challenged today by
the Nazi conception of man created
In the image of the beasts of the
field.

against systematic and calculated
brutalization. We are fighting to
