Of course there we're few upsetS, but
not nearly as many as in past years. In my
opinion, the FL to defeat of Georgia Tech
by Notre Dame, bruised and battered in
successive defeats by Navy and Army, was
the outstanding upset of the season.
The Army team, because of it's great
number of individual stars and unlimited
strength, was given the No. l rating over all
other elevens and guess there's no one who
will question the honor.

DR.. Paschall declared, instead,
we settled down to a narrow state
of nationalism, rejecting our lead

different attitude exemplified by
France toward true spiritual val

Lincoln's Gettysburg address, "We
shall highly resolve that these dead

Paschall advocated the establish.

all nations and peoples may have
representation and which will serve
as medium for Kidding the world
of hatred and revenge through
the promotion of brotherhood.
DR.. Paschall concluded his adj
