BAINBRIDCE SET
FOR BIG SEASON

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Aug. o.
B-"Stand clear, Gents,'' 1t. Joe
Maniaci says his cambridge Com
modore football team will put up
a nice ball game this fall"
Those are just the words Coach
Maniaci employed year ago in
describing the possibilities Of his
powerhouse eleven that scrambled
seven opponents in chalking up an
undefeated season for this huge
naval training center.
II think we'll have a pretty good
ball club, but don't forget the op-
position is going to be much tough
err" the former Fordham univer-
sity and Chicago Bears fullback
ace said as he beamed approving
ly over squad of almost 80 hus-
kies working out in the hot August
sun.
With Student BODY OF more
than 10000 bluejackets to pick
from, Maniaci declares it's diff
cult to comb the ranks, and may
be there are some we don't know
about-yet."
To date, however, Maniaci's
scouts have burrowed through sew
eral miles of barra cks and dug up
a lot of ball hawks to replace 1943
Commodore stars now departed.
For instance, there's Halfback
Dewey Proctor of Furman n d
Great Lakes; Joe Kane, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania backfield
flash; Jackie Fields, from Teaxs
U. via Southwestern university in
1913; Andy Stopper, Villanova,
who ouarterba cked last season for
Sampson naval station; t a k lie
Quentin Klenk, and End Joe Davis,
University of Southern California;
and Ken Roskie, South Carolina
U. and Great Lakes, to mention
few.
Maniaci's chief difficulty is a
schedule, but cambridge, finally
came up with an eight : game all
service card today with two dates
open for any other corners.
where does everybody get the
idea we're so tough?" The coach
queried. He admitted scoring to-
tai of 313 points against 7 in 1943
looked flattering on paper. But
our opponents were teams TX e
Camp Lee, Curtis Bay Coast Guard,
and University of Maryland's civil
liam team.'
Bill de Cogrevont, Howard (Red)
Hickey, Phil Ragazzo, and other
stars of 1913 are gone, but Mania
ci has a dozen or so followers such
as Quarterback billiard Chatham
of Auburn, Fullback Harvey (Stud)
Johnson of William and Mary, and
Speedy Charlie Justice, Asheville,
N. c., high schools dazzling contri-
button tuzthe Commodores.
Maniaci plans to use the T for
nation again, and says he h S
added about 20 plays to the 100
the bluejackets were given ] t
fall.
His aides, all new, are Joe Skla-
dany, All America end with Pitts
burgh in 1888, head line coach; Ed
Vrominski, right halfback On the
Columbia university team that up
set Stanford in the 1884 Rose Bowl
game, assistant backfield coach:
and Roland Raphael of Purdue and
the Green Bay Packers, assistant
line coach.
cambridge has six home games
listed for home field, rebuilt to
seat 5000 persons.

Coming Up The Hard Way

Tn his acceptance Of the nomination of the Republicans for the office of Pres iGent, Governor Dewey declared that "our country Is just fighting its way through to new horizons" And in speaking of the Roosevelt administration, he de- clared: Tt has grown old in office. It has become tired and quarrelsome." He voiced the belief that "the great men that founded this nation really did know what they were talking about when they said that three terms were too many"
 Our only living ex-president, Herbert Hoover had referred to himself as belong ing to "the older generation, who have learned something of the great forces of the world, and can advise and counsel" MT. Hoover also said And 1t is on behalf of and as part Of this living institution, the Republican party that call upon the younger generation to take up the weapons for American liberty. to fight the good fight in the manner and accord ing to the lights Of their own time"
 If Governor Dewey Is elected. he will have a strong group of men who were young when they entered the Senate six years ag0-men who are still young and who are thoroughly trained to fight the good fight" with distinction and ability.

logically must be launched from an east ern China port. And the taking of such a port depends upon a vastly multiplied Chinese offensive as we'll as a continual ton of our powerful Pacific drive.
 Yet there is reason, too, for the gener- alissimo's almost iubilant statement. The three obiectives of the Jap offensive, as he pointed out, were to seize the whole Pei ping-Canton railroad, thus cutting China In two and assuring Japan an inland sup ply route almost to Singapore; to inflict such heavy casualties that the Chinese could not mount a counter-offensive; to destroy airfields in the vicinity of the present fighting that present threats to the Japanese homeland. But the Jap strategy has failed on all three counts, as proved by the breaking of the siege of Hengyang, the counter-attack that caused a general enemy retreat, and the second B-29 bombing of Japan proper in three weeks. Who can blame the generalissimo for seeing, after seven exhausing, discour- aging years, the dawn of liberation? But the Chinese war will be holding war at best for some time to come. The Japs have vet to be driven from Burma, and the SUD- ply route opened to China.
 Even then supplies are bound to be inadequate, for the Burma Road is no paved express highway, but a treacher- ous route where the going is slow and tough.
 There is in India, according to lend lease reports, almost as much lend-lease awaiting shipment as has been received in China already. But the total of both amounts to only per cent of lend-lease sent to Britain. The reason for this is not discrimination, of course, but the almost inseparable difficulties of trans portation Offsetting these discouraging statistics are the magnificent showing of the Chinese soldier. and the great results which Stilwell and Chennault have acc complished with so little. But at least though the deep concern remains, the difficulties are no greater. And the hope is real and inspiring.

Consuming Desire Essential

The United States came into being be- cause a majority of our public leaders and the people were consumed with gen. uine desire to be free men and the mas ters of government. The world has pro- gressed because groups of people had an undying faith in certain philosophies of religion or human conduct in which they believed.
 How many people in the United States today are uncompromising in their de- sire to retain personal liberty and demo- craey within the framework of our Re- public? Of late years, there have been too many politicians insinuating that as a nation we have outgr0wn the constitu' tional ideals on which this country was founded.
 A majority of our people must have consuming desire to retain independence at all costs. just as our forefathers had the desire to gain 1t at all costs, or the United States as We have known it will be but an era in the history b0oks-burean' eracy will have supplanted democracy AS a nation, we cannot survive as free men fl we submit to being the tended herd' of a socialized government toward which we have been rapidly drifting.
