 Back in 194l when they gave him his job. he looked over the prospects and said:

 Rallied Boys From Let-DOwn
 How well his boys like to play under him was never better demon- strated than last Saturday when suffering a natural let-down from the hardest game any of them ever had played, he rallied them to one of their most impressive vic- tories, a 34 to ! triumph ove~ an- other power-house, the Pennssl- vania Quakers.
 He's the United Press coach of the week, Earl Henry (Red) Blaik of those dashin'-crashin' Cadets oi the Army military academy.
 Given a good taste of the dust and dirt of Yankee Stadium when they fought nobly to that historic 0sto 0 standoff with Notre Dame, his boys arose to crush a Pennsylvania team that had been pointing for them. He knew how to take care of "Penn-point."
 That is what has made Blaik a great coach and Army a great team Even the most outstanding of foot ball teams. collegiate or pro, are en- titled to an off-day now and then. But Blaik with military firmness and a man to man" understand ing, kept his boys keyed up for three years to meet teams that would have regarded their seasons as a complete success had they been able to beat Army by one point.
 Everything was perfectly set for Penn to upset Army. and for enc fierce period it appeared as if the impossible" might be accomplish ed. Then as in every game but one in the three long years before, Army began to roll And through 1t all was discernible, the operations of the brilliant tactlcian, Blaik.
 Along with giving America one of it's greatest college football teams of all time. Blaik played a big part in keeping the sport alive during the war years.
 Coming to West Point with a rec ord of only l2 defeats in 70 games at Dartmouth from 1884 through le40. Blaik had little more than time to settle down before the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor. Sentiment was strong for scrapping the sport, but he interceded in the War Depart ment, speaking dramatically of the games morale value and It's inc portance for training men for con- bat.

The old Friday night gathering proved rather eventful last week, l2 game winning streak fell by the wayside, two new team records were established, one individual mark set and another one tied.
 The Blankers finally put halt to the winning habits of the league leading Rollers after the latter team had piled up l2 consecutive uc- tories, but not until the top notchers had copped the first two games. However this one defeat cut the Rollers lead to four games as the second place Automatics were mak- ing a clean sweep of their evening s work.
 Nicky Colangelo's Threaders stole the nights honors in racking up a 2-l win over the Clerks. 4 new high team single of 5e4 was set by the winnere as Joltin' Joe Sowaski led the way with nice i35 string, but it was Colangelo's last box spare that turned the trick enabling this up and coming crew to take the seasons mark away from the Auto matics Not satisfied with one mark in the record books, the Threaders also established a new high three of 1901. Barbara Tripp, of the same club also equalled Marge Dani- sevich's previous high three total of 32O. Bouquets to all of you.

the doghouse.
Jolted BY Election.
The President. according to ex-
cellent authority, was profoundly
jolted by the election returns. He
had expected some reverses: he did
not expect to lose control Of Con-
gress and the sweep Of the Re
publican victory, especially the big
city losses and far West, took him
by surprise.
Now he is said to feel that as the
left wing and minority alliances on
which he relied did not produce
Democratic Inajorities In places
where they hold the balance OF
power, he Is absolved OF allegiance
to them. He feels free, according
to these reports, of obligations In
herited largely from President
Roosevelt and can go his own way.
1t is an attitude that puts him in
direct conflict with Mr.. Hannegan
and the committee, who have given
mo hint that they have changed
their minds.
Some rather handsome predic-
tions are being made by old Truman
friends on the basis Of converse tons
of which the foregoing gives the
gist. They have all along asserted
sturdily that their Harry" w,s mis-
cast as a New Dealer and they now

Republicans with his own call for
q revision of the Wagner Act. As
these friends are conservative busi-
nessmen, 1t may be that the wish
is father to the thought: In any
case Congress will soon be here and
the evidence put in the record.
Rough Sailing Ahead.
Should the President. newly de-
fiant, decide to exercise what is
normally the presidential preroga-
tive OF naming his own national
chairman. he may encounter some
rough sailing.
