U.s.. Russia To Seek
Three Council Seats

I These five powers would be out
numbered by six small nations,
elected at tWo-year intervals, put
the YaIta voting formula provides
that no action could be taken with
out a majority of seven, instead
of six, and that on all major ques-
tons of aggression the Big Five
would have to vote unanimously
with one exception.
The exception is that on decisions
to investigate and try peacefully to
settle a dispute, if one of the big
powers was iteslf a party to the
dispute, it could not vote. The 9TH
er four, in such a case, would have
to agree unanimously for the con-
Gil to act.
This so.called veto arrangement
originally was Russian and until
today most authorities thought it
had satisfied Russia's insistence
that power in the world organi-
zation must be retained in the
hands of the powerful nations.
The newly disclosed Yalta agree
ments, if accepted at San Fran
cisco, would considerably increase
the voting strength of the big ma
lions in the assembly. Britain
would have six votes, the United
States three, Russia three, and
China and France one each a total
of IA out of 46 or At, depending
the number of countries initialy
included.
The background of the Russian
move, however, is more than
year old. Many months ago Mos
cow suddenly preplexed officials
here by announcing that the Soviet
Union was being broken down, for
purposes of foreign and military
affairs, into 16 autonomous repuo-
lies or Soviets Each, it was said,
would be able to conduct its for
eign affairs independently on is
sues of primary concern to itself.
There was speculation then that
Russia might ask is seats in the
new league in which case, it was
reported, the United States might
try to find some way to ask for
a. seats-one for each state.

When Adm. Sir Bruce Fraser,

March that the fleet was ready

what he said. For waiting, in adj

Disregarding discussion on three
continents of the question whether
British and American ships are
technically able to operate side by

pared to operate as completely
self-contained, self-supplied, self

That is what they have done in
this first real British Fleet often

FOOTBALL PLAYERS
DEFENDING COACH

PITTSBURGH, Nov. g. W.D -
Coach Clark Shaughnessy's players
came to his defense today as stu
dents at Pittsburgh circulated a
petition asking for his replacement
by "a coach who can win"
Following an informal meeting
of the squad last night, a spokes-
man said that the players "decid-
ed the petitinon idea was very ur1-
fair to Coach Shaughnessy," and
that they refused to sign it.
THE statements the petition
makes as to our failure to win are
silly the player said. 'We want
the public to know we are 100 per
cent behind our coach and will try
to beat Ohio State for him on Sat,
urday."

But while the center of the. bright

struggle between the country's two

that rolled over Illinois and Min

By WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-P)-When
a pie is good nobody pays any at
tention to the pan, although it was
quiet important. So when a foot
ball team is good it's only natural
to more or less ignore the teams at
the bottom on which the good team
builds its reputation.
These teams which r ug 6 e
along the beaten path from week
to week, taking their Jumps un-
complainingly, are the ones who
deserve the real credit.
It's easy enough to keep the
spirits up when victory follows vic
tory. The real heroes are the lads
who go through the drudgery OF
practice daily with the knowledge
that Saturday is pretty sure to find
them getting pushed around again.
They never quit trying, these
stubborn kids. Sometimes the
schedule lined up for them is
more than they can digest. Some
squads still are suffering from the
inroads of war. But whatever the
reason for their failures, they keep
trying, and more power to them.
The experts select top 10 every
week from the more successful
clubs. The teams far down the list
are ignored, 50 we'll take care Of
that. Well pick a bottom 10, or 10th
10. There may be some smaller
schools that belong on the list, but
on the records of 100 teams these
would seem to rate Inclusion:
City College of New York, Coast
Guard Academy, Lafayette, Muh
lenberg, Virginia Tech, Nebraska
Kentucky, Kansas State, Iowa ane
Syracuse.
These teams have compiled q
record of six victories, 81 defeats
and two ties, and have scored 381

ponents.
Aside from the No. 10 spot in the
10th 10 we couldn't attempt to rate
the teams. We have a candidate for
that last place which seems to be
in something of a class by himself
It is City College of New York,
which has scored only seven points
since 1913. It went through last
season winless and scoreless, and
this year it has gone winless but
managed to get touchdown
against Drexel, feat so astonish
ing the boys shook hands all around
and were sorely tempted to stor
the game and build a bonfire.
Three of the other teams are
without victories - Muhlenberg
Lafayette and the Coast Guard
have earned ties, but none of the
10 schools has turned in more thar
one victory. Iowa has had the most
points scored against it, a mere
230.
Some of the teams, notably Iowa
Nebraska, Kansas State and Syria
cuse, are rated big-time. The wal
hit them hard, and they have MOI
had chance to come back. But
they will.
They will because the kids keer
trying, with spirit that will carry
over when things return to norma
and they again have the materia
to match schedules which are the
same as in the days when they hae
it. Then they'll wreak vengeance or
some of their more fortunate breth
rem who have been slapping then
down with regularity that woule
discourage less determined young
sters.
! So give a cheer to the pans Al

They're the teams that have il
