Looking beyond war; and to the piled.up needs of the

think that any of our businesses will be TOO big for that
And seeing, destiny, the greatest and pros
porous for our people that this earth has ever known

not too big, but big enough
Bgness is as bigness does in a business as in nation
or in a man. And forget that in America,
of our big businesses big because our people
made them so.
They bought the goods that offered the value the

Its a poised team that blocks

Predicted as
Sked Neors End

ST. Mary'S MOuntainCCrS will
play their lat home game OF
the season, Sunday, when they
meet the ST, Alphonsus tei>
from Dearborn on the Mount
Clemens high school field at 3
p. m.
Coach Homer Van Hollen-
beck $ MountainCcrS, who have
lost their last three grid tits,
should have a fairly good chance
of bringing the home town
sports fans a victory, as the AL
phonsus team has not exactly
been a serious threat TO their OPP
pOnents this season. However,
there is a very good possibility
that ST. Mary's may have their
apple cart upset, as has been
the case other times this year
when it looked like they were
stepping into a sure thing.
Just what the reason is for
the downfall Of the Mountain
GERS, after they started off with
a bang, is a hard thing to say.
II might be, however, that IF
the st. Nlary'S squad had the
same facilities available, as 9th
cr high school teams; If they
had the size, experience and
numerical strength Of the Mount
Clemens High team; IF Van Hol-
lenbeCk had an assistant TO share
his burden, and IF, etc, but
these reasons Swallowed with
doubt, can be left TO the Mon
day morning Quarterbacks' Club
for analysis.
In his first season as a foot
ball mentor, youthful Coach
Van HolIcnbcCk should be con-
graduated on doing as we'll as
he has, and he can be depended
on TO try his best to get his team
out of their slump, IN order to
bring local fans a victory Sun
day.
Both st. Mjchacls and the
Mountainous with the season 5
end near may be expected to
play a fast, open game.
st. Mary's will start their
game without the services of
their regular right guard Eddy
Miller, who fractured his hand
in last Sundays game. His po-
sition Will be fille- by Bill Allor.
Fullback Francis DLuge will
also be out part, if not all, Of the
game. DLuge is Still nursing a
bad foot. Left halfback Joe
Coke will fill his spot, nd
Bernie DCSmith Will plug the
gap left by Coke.

last two periods. The victory
was Detroit's second straight IN
the league and boosted its scor-
ing total to II in the two games.
A crowd OF 1928 fans witnessed
the Rangers third consecutive
defeat.
Rookie Jud McAtee, Detroit

with a ten-footer % seconds
after the game started, but after
Kilbz Macdonald and Joe Shack
counted for New York the Rang
ers held the lead briefly for the
only tine in the game. Bill

before the first period ended.
While the Rangers we're score
less, Mud Brunetedu, rookie
Steve Wochy, QuaCkenOush and
McAtce added four more to the
Detroit total in the second pc
rod. In the final 20 minutes the
Wings counted on McAtee's third
