old GUARD OF
EAST GIVES WAY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. l7.-(UP)--May-
be It's like comparing those crusty
chops they're serving these days
with pre-OPA beefsteak, but the
idea Is unacceptable that college foot
ball In the east this year Is going
to fall short Of the brand played be-
fore Pearl Harbor.
AS they square off for their Sec
ond war time season, such consist
emily strong teams Of the past as
Fordham, Syracuse, Georgetown,
Duquesne, Manhattan and Harvard
won't even play and many others
are going along "just for the fun
Of It,"
New Faces"
Replacing the "old guard" are such
little fellows as Rochester, where
the chief complaint Is that there
are only eight good halfbacks on
hand and Muhlenberg, plentifully
endowed with naval trainees.
Adding to the confusion Is the
fact that dozens Of players have
shifted allegiance from one school
to another to take advantage Of
some particularly appealing course in
the governments X-l2 program.
Helping to satisfy the appetites Of
the grid.minded should be such fac
tors as the keenness Of competition,
the unpredictabilty Of new name
teams and the presence Of we'll
drilled potential sailors and marines
Preseason predictions should be
more hazardous than ever, but on
the basis Of numerical strength, the
service teams at West Point and
Annapolis, the old Ivy standbys
Princeton and Dartmouth, and
such independents as rennSylvania
Rochester, Muhlenberg, Brown, VII.

The outlook Is less hopeful ai

Princeton boasts the biggest line Il
the east, averaging more THAN 20I

Ivy circuit, the Tigers must COP,
with Dartmouth and Its extensive
supply Of via trainees. There ar
at least IS or II experienced back

Political Offensive

Gables and wires. newspaper offices, capt.
tol corridors, radios and sidewalks crackle
with rumors OF great events 10 come with
general concurrence in the opinion they will
be mainly on the political front as prelini-
nary in the blow which will land squarely on
the European Axis partners solar plexus and
leave Germany gasping or the mat.
The natural inference is that whatever is
planned will find expression ard probably be
consumated at the Forthcoming conference of
Kai-shek a possible fourth But it is not to be
inferred that if and when these leaders fore
gather they will be abe to consider political
moves as ASSOCIATED from war moves. At this
stage of the conflic., no major action, nor
any planning, can detour the Ire of combat.
Victory must be the prime consideration
Therefore, it seems safe to assume that any
political moves in the neat future are closely
associated with military moves tc tighten the
wise upon Germany.
1t is primarily through political effort, for
example, that satellite states may be induced
to break their Axis letters. but the chief re-
ward of this would be military. Thus, if Ru-
mania, Bulgaria and Hungary were to revolt
against the Germans and withdraw their SOL
diers from German forces and their resources
from German industries, the act would con-
stitute major achievement f5r the Allies,
political at the source but military at the
finish.
OF course commitments OF some kind would
have to be made to their governments, but
no pledge could mean more to their future
security and welfare than that they would
not again be bjecsed to German invasion.
1t might well be that such an objective is
at the roots of the runors now coming thick
and fast. This seems more credible than that
efforts through political channels are to be
made to induce Germany to lay down it's
arms. That is job for the armies, the navies
and the air forces of the United Nations
Unconditional surrender is to be speeded by
more air attacks like those or Berlin, more
