Although he took no official part
in the present war, he denounced
politically and morally the policy
of appreasement and the practice
of inadequacy in the prosecution OF
the war in phrases that were des-
tined to become historic.
On March 10, 1910, after the
first Finnish-Russian war, when
Commons was embroiled in de-
bate over the failure to give large
scale aid to the Firms, Lloyd
George rose and declared:
g. 1t is the old trouble-too
late. Too late for Czechoslovakia.
Too late for Poland. Certainly too
late for Finland.
'It is always too late or too lit
tie, or both. That is the road to
disaster.
What he said was credited with
helping to force Prime Minister
Chamberlain hand. Shortly the
government fell, Gliding tc
Churchill, man as stubborn, as
COURAGEOUS and more eloquent
than the little Welshmen.
Moyd George, robust and CHEEKY
until his last illness, died as he
had wished - quietly at home in
Wales. He had moved to the an.
cient farm last summer and at
that time, he observed:
1T is not a bad thing for a man
to spend his last days at home. 1
wish to be looked upon as one OF
the village boys"
These homely words came from
a man who was elevated to the
Perase and whose titles were ga.
zetted as Viscount Gwynedd OF
Dwyfor and Earl Lloyd George of
Dwyfor.
His eldest son, Maj. Richard,
took the courtesy title Of Viscount
Gwynedd. Richard succeeds to the
earldom. Richards 20-year-old
son, Owen, will be the new Wis
count Gwynedd.
Public concern over Lloyd
Georges health was great during
his final illness. Daily bulletins
were issued on his condition and
grief was widespread throughout
England, but especially among the
Welsh, whom he had championed
and with whom he lived.
1t was indicated that Lloyd
George would be buried in the
family vault in Criccieth grave
yard, on a sloping hill near the
farmhouse of his first wife's par
ents. She and their daughter, MAR
sEluned. who died at II, are buried
there.

Hot Competition Seen
On Postwar Gridiron

NEW YORK, March 26-(P-Ber-
ME Eierman of Minnesota doesn't
expect the college football players
now in the service to return and
resume their gridironing in any
great numbers after the war. He's
probably right.
That doesn't mean that there
won't be a lot of good, tough foot
ball after the war, and played by
ex-service men, too. But they won't
be the men who were playing col
lege football before the war. They
will be boys, grown into men, who
were just finishing high school
when they joined up, and who new.
er set foot on a college gridiron.
Some folks might call attention
to the fact that a lot of college foot
ball players left school during the
last war and returned to play on
college teams after their dis
charges, but the fact is the last war
was a quickie compared to this
one, and most of the men were
gone for only two years at the
most
We. have been in this war more
than three years already, and al
though things are going very well
indeed right now there's still lot
of fighting to be done. When that S
over there will be the tremendous
and time-taking job Of demobili-
cation.
A lot of the boys who were just
coming into their own on the foot
ball field as sophomores and jul
niors, and whose names were be-
ginning to mean something to the
fans, won't be just year or two
older when they return. They'll be
three, and four, and - heaven for
bid-five years older. And lot OF
them, as Mr.. Bierman says, will

RHODE ISLANDERS.
FOR THIRD PLACE
Winners Forced To Come
From Behind To Win
By Score of CAST

NEW YORK, March 26. -(P)-
After leading by 81 points at the
half, St. Johns was forced to
come from behind in the last
five minutes to defeat Rhode Is
land State, 81 to 81, for third place
in the National Invitation Basket
ball tournament at Madison Square
Garden tonight.
St. Johns, led by Ray Wertis,
rolled up a 1921 advantage at the
half but the New Englanders
came rolling back to take a 50-49
lead at the ten-minute mark in the
second period. Ernie Calverley
who paced Rhode Island State
with Is points, spanked the specta-
cular rally before a crowd of more
than $4,000 as he connected with
five straight goals.
With Rhode Island leading So
50, St. Johns finally gathered
itself and spurted out in gront,
largely on the shooting of lanky
Ivy Summer. Wertis led the win
ners with 81 points while Summer

NEW YORK PLAYER
0VERC0MES INJURY
BY JACK HAND

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., March
26.-(P)-Jersey Joe Buzas, signed
Oft the Bucknell campus four
years ago, is the outstanding rookie
in the New York Yankee camp to-
day and probably on the varsity
although the snedicos wrote fms
to his baseball career a year ago
when he aggravated a shoulder
injury in a baseline collision.
Treatment by a Brooklyn ply
sician brought Buzas' right Shout
der back into playing condition
and enabled him to spark the
Newark infield and hit .297 for the
1914 Bears.
There is nothing the matter
with my ARM said Buzas, whose
only fault to date has been over
anxiety to prove his case with
Manager Joe Mccarthy. Its too
early to cut loose and I've been
so busy trying to remember all
the helpful things Mr.. Mccarthy
tells me-"
Buzas' varsity standing depends
on the status of shortstop Frank
Crosetti, written off by Col. Larry
MacPhail as a holdout If Crosetti
does sign Buzas will be given a
chance at first, at least until Vet
eran Nick Etten shows up.
The freshman infielder is a re-
fresning type Of American youth
who calls his "best girl' every
night back home in Alpha, N. J.
Rejected for military duty be-
cause of an ear ailment, Buzas
spent the winter months helping
out in his Dads grocery store,
puttering around his brother
chicken farm and promoting box
ing and wrestling in Easton, Pa.
Buzas summed up his promotion
al career with Il had Tony Galento
there but the hall wasn't big
enough to make any money. It's
better to be on somebody else S
payroll"
Buzas first attracted attention
while playing semi-pro ball with a
fremont, Pa, team against the
Brooklyn Bushwicks and Scout
Kritchell signed him in l941. Nor
folk that year, then Binghamton,
| Trenton and two seasons at New
ark round out his pro background.
He figures third base is his reg
u1ar spot but is only too willing
to play any place.
