and again the periscopes would be exposed too much. Depth control was difficult but expertly handled. Just as the first torpedo was to be sent on it's way, series of four depth charges or bombs went off which shook the boat violently, and cork and paint chips filtered down from the overhead. More depth charges followed the initial pat tern starting some oil leaks, caus- ing light bulbs to break, and more paint and cork to fall. The DACE decided to break off the attack and evade. She hit bottom, and while resting there anxiously wait ing for the escorts to go away, the strong current took charge, and carried the DACE pumping, turn ing, scraping and clanking along the bottom. How the boat avoided being detected will never be known. She surfaced, after making some repairs and proceeded to an area farther north. At 0459, on the 21st, another contact put us in hot pursuit of the enemy, but after closing the range she decided the target was too small and an un- successful attack would only di- vulge her position, so the sub aban- doned the chase. The enemy had another idea and promptly pro- ceeded to launch his own attack The DACE outdistanced the chaser without being recognized or seen and dove to definitely lose him. On that dive a main engine was flooded so she surfaced at 075O and located the trouble. At 010O on the 22nd, while heading into the seas at slow speed, the topside damage was repaired and the engine was put back in commission. During the next few days numerous con- tacts were made which were either impossible to attack or too small to do anything about. Christmas Day was just another day of pa- trol except that the cooks and baker did an excellent job of pre- pairing a delicious and unforget- table dinner.
 While running on the surface many floating mines were detect ed so the lookouts were doubly cautious. On the 28th. another op- portunity presented itself = this one resulting in sinking one med ium freighter of 4,000 tons and damaging one medium freighter of 4,0O0 tons. In the days that fol- lowed, planes and small ships were contacted but not targets of any size worthy of torpedoes were sighted so our presence remained a secret.
 December 31st, . worth while periscope contact of two columns of ships was made at 1000. The Captains plan was to avoid the ever-closing escorts which were shielding the group and to locate himself between the two columns. While trying to keep in close touch

Jamestown, is home on furlough
from his present Air Force as
signment at Andrews Field, Mary

fracas he saw action in Japan and
the Philippines and was also
stationed for a short time in Eng
land and France. 1t was in the
Philippines where he was awarded
the Bronze Star and the Presi-
dental Unit Citation, together
with several battle stars.
Melvin B. Galloway is also home
for few days before hopping off
to the west coast in preparation
for overseas duty. Melvin signed

State Surplus Far
Exceeds Fund Needs
Of Special Session

The sound condition of the State
Treasury will make it unnecessary
to levy any additional taxes in the
Special Session about to be called,
in order to make financial
provisions for rising costs IN the
State institutions and agencies
and, also, to cover salary increases
granted to State employees.
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor, in
announcing his intention to call
the Special Session, indicated that
the States fiscal officers had been
watching development in regard to
commodity prices during recent
months and are now in the best
position to estimate the needs for
the ensuing six months. The
Governor was informed by his
financial advisers that it would
have been unwise to have called
the session sooner, as it would
have resulted in miscalculations
because of changing economic fac
tors.
The States healthy surplus,
estimated to be $16,s39, 900 during
the coming year, will be several
times as great as the total amount
required to be allotted for all
State purposes in the Special Ses-
sion. After present needs are met,
the fiscal officers stated, the in
coming administration will have g
sizeable surplus with which to
start off the new term.
Sharp rises in the cost of food
and all the other items that figure
in the budgets of the various
State institutions, following the
lifting of price controls, have
created an unforeseen emergency,
the Governor pointed out, to the
extent that practically all of the
Hospitals, Institutions and Depart
ments will require additions to
their present budget allotments to
carry them through until next
June 80.
According to the Governor, the
action of the General Assembly
will be in the nature of a book
keeping adjustment by which
funds on hand are merely released
for the increased current expenses.

Out to Win, Regardless

College coaches have a very diff
ferent problem. They are cut to
win, regardless Of any public reac-
ton. / happen to know what coaches
such as Lou Little, Bob Neyland and
a few others we're offered by the
pros. l can tell you it was plenty.
I asked one Of these coaches how
he figured Army or NOtre Dame
would compare with the best of the
pro teams. Here was his answer.

Coaches as Fritz Crisler Dick Har-
low. Ed McKeever. HOWE Odell,
Wallace Wade and many other col
lege coaches have entirely different
assignments from the pro coaches.
The college coaches have the unfin-
ished products. The pro coaches
handle experience, where fundamen-
tails are supposed to be small part
Of the job. Both the colleges and
the pros apparently give the crowds
what they want to see. And here is
one game where the colleges out
draw the pros because. in the main,
he colleges have the bigger stands.

Experience Us. Youth

The pros depend entirely on COL
lege stars coming along. The young
err. the better. The pros have the
soundest sort of coaching. So do
most of the college teams. But in
the colleges the coaches have q
far greater problem, for their play
ers are also students, who are sup
posed to have a busy day outside
of football This doesn't always
happen. What the pros get is ex-
perience. This is big factor. What
the college teams get is youth--just
as big factor.
Happening to run into three or
four veteran college coaches, we
sounded them out on their viewpoint.
And these coaches were all tops,
able to command big salaries in
either pro league. Here was the an
swer.
THE pros know much more than
the college players know. They are
picked men that we've worked over
for two or three years. They begin
where We left off. But few pro
players who have passed 26 or ~
years can match the speed or the
enthusiasm Of the college player.
At 20 they are thrOugh--or should be
looking for a future living.
ALSO the pros, through sound
business reasons as far as the
crowds are concerned. work entirely
on offense. We wouldn't want to put
on the field such defense, especial
ly the forward pass defense, that
pro teams do. We work at least
three times as hard on defense as
the pros. They only stress attack
for that is what the crowds want.
How can you have any strong de-
tense in games where veteran foot
ball players, stars from college
teams, run up 80 or 40 points on
each side? How can a strong de-
tense allow 80 points to a beaten
team in a pro league? The pros are
smart. They give the public what
the public wants-which Is a lot OF
scoring. There is nothing off-side
about this. It's on the level. But il
Is a different game"
