DaCrosaSHad Dream Team At HoIy Cross
BY JOSEPH NOLAN

Worcester, Mas, Nov. ae-~(Upl-- Coach John (Ox) Da 0rogA wAs quietly confident today as his Holy Gross Crusaders prepared for their cllmactlc gasne with Boston Colleeo, but he admitted he'd feel c lot ease fer fl he had the team that might have been"
 That was the outfit with which Da urosa used to run up mental scores like @ Co end 7l Go 6. When he took over the coaching chores at Holy Cross a year ago, he looked for. ward eagerly to this season--the Crusaders golden anniversary Of foot- ball.
 Occasionally, he'd even jot down on paper the players around whom he would build the coileges, greatest eleven.
 m the backfleid, he thought, there would be stan Koslowski as the triple.theeat spearhead, Alben CfEorse) Klosauskas at the blicking spot, little Joe Byers at Che wing. back and Ray Bali, an Army veter- an, calling signals.
 Stalwarts
 The line, too, shaped up as a tower of strength the way Da orosa had it figured out. There would be George Conner and Jim Landrigan at the tackles, Fritz DarEilauskas ak one guard, Jim Dieckelmaii and Joe Campbell on the ends, and c dozen other good prospects battling for the two remaining positions.
 That was the way it looked on paper. Da Grosa still thinks 1t would have been his best teaan-but he1l never know.
 Koslowski, perhaps the greatest all-around back ever to wear. the purple, quit school and signed with the Miami Seahawks of the All- America conference. Kiosauskas, t developed, had taken 6 brief fling at the play-for-piay game and hence was ineligible for collegiate compe- titaon.
 Byers was drafted just before the season got under way, leaving Bail as the lone survivor of Da orosa's dream backfield."
 The linemen vanished in equally mysterious fashion. Connor, dis- charged from the Navy, promptly matriculated ct Notre Dame where he became one of the foremost tackles in the nation. Campbell, e star in the Crusaders 66 to i2 upset | of B. c. in io42, also changed his | mailing address to South Bend, Ind.
 Fritz To Yale
 Barzilauskas got married and | transferred to Yale SO he would be | closer to his Waterbury, Conn, home. He turned out to be e defen- sive btilwark and an offensive giant | in the Ellis line, and won commenda- ton from Coach Dick Harlow of | Harvard as ''one Of the best linemen | in the east"
 LAndigran did not return to school after his discharge from the Marine Corps, and Dieckelman entered when | the season was two weeks old. Bel fore he could get into top condition, he hurt his leg and has spent much of his time on the sidelnes.
 So Da 0rosa was left with c squad of anonymous Joes and a sad story to tell on the banquet circuit this winter.

The Gallup Poll
In FAVOR OF Atom Bomb Tests
Not Much Larger Than Those Opposed
Forty-Three Per Cent Fav-
or Move While 81 Per
Cent Would Call It Off
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute Of
Public Oninion

PRINCETON, N j., April 90
Public opinion in this country is
sharply divided today on the cues
tlon of whether or not to hold the
atomic bomb tests, scheduled at
the Bikini this summer.
In the face of many rumors that
the atomic bomb tests were to be
abandoned, President Truman re-
Gently reafeirmed the governments
intention of going through with
operation crossroads The tests,
he holds, are essential to intelli-
gent planning for the future.
In Congress, legislators have
meanwhile tabled a resolution intro
duced by Senator James W. Huff
man, Democrat, of Ohio, calling
for abandonment of the tests. Sem
ator Huffman has indicated he in
tends to push for passage of the
resolution.
Field reporters for the Institute
put the issue to the voting public
as follows:
''Do you think the United States
should carry out the atom bomb
tests on Bikini Island, or should
this be given up?
Replies across the nation:
Hold the tests 1890
Call off the tests -----37
TIrdooidnd On
When replies to the question
are limited to World War II vet
Grams, the picture is different. Vir-
tually two out of every three
among the vets want the tests held.
A breakdown Of the findings by
educational background reveals a
majority of people who have at
tended college or high school fav-
oring going through with the pro-
ject. When it comes to people with
grammar school training or less,
more are opposed than favor hav-
ing the tests held.
These facts are shown in the fol-
lowing tables:
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1946-04-21

SOME OF THE people favoring
the idea of holding the Bikini pro-
ject as scheduled say they think
it will provide essential Informal
ton to future defense and to sci
ence. Others say the bombing will
provide an effective show of Ameri-
can power.
There are three principal rea-
sons people give for opposing the
tests: The first is that the scien-
lists are fooling with something
that may get out of control and
blow up a large part of the world.
The second is that the tests won t
prove anything. The third is that
the tests are an unnecessary show
of power and can only result in
hard feelings toward the United
States.
