sity, one OF whom was Quentin

Men" from the opening kickoff until

Old Days are Gone.
But those days are gone. Nova
days a spectator, if he entertains
any hope of knowing what men are
in the game, needs competent
court stenographer to record the
comings and goings of the players.
Let a spectator blink his eyes slowly
and he'll see an entire new team in
action. The action from the bench
to the playing field is a mad rush,
remindful of a gold or land rush,
as players scoot back and forth.
1t is a very poor school indeed
which does not have an offensive
team (to carry the balD and de-
fensive team to defend the goal line.
The big football schools, meaning
those which award credit for a
torn cartilage and place a punter
ahead of a scholar, have teams for
every emergency. They have teams
which are used only when the wind
is blowing from the southwest;
teams which are hopeless in a south
west wind but are devastating in a
north by northeast blow.
They have teams which cannot
play we'll when the day is overcast
but are "hellers" when the sun is
shining and the sky is old Yale blue
They have combinations which are
dauntless in the shadow of their
own goal posts. but not worth a
tinker's dam at mid1eld or there

good thing that the substitution
rule of today didn't exist few
years back, else the Four Horsemen
of Notre Dame never would have
known one another socially. Their
acquaintance would have been based
on passing one another running
from the bench to the field"
I trust that the coaches will do
something about the substitution
rule at their next meeting. At least,
they should limit the number OF
substitutions to 200. The~way it is
now, it is not only confusing to the
ticket buyer who, believe it or not
makes amateur football possible by
putting dough on the line, but it Is
downright persecution of the men
in the press box.
A sports writer now has no time
to watch the game. All his time
lis taken up with jotting who has
gone in for whom. personally know
of three sports writers who now
have to wear straight jacket in
stead of a slipover sweater to games
so daffy have they become trying tc
figure out the substitutions.
And, as I remarked in an earlier
column, it has made quarterback
ing a joke. The quarterback nov
has about as much to do with the
calling of plays as you or I. Some
substitution gallops in from the side
of the coach and tells him what
play or series to call

'VFW Will Urge House
To Act in This Session
On Bills for Veterans
By George Beveridge

The Veterans of Foreign WARS
will push for House action on con-
troversial veterans benefit bills
during the special session of Con-
gress, but other veterans organiza-
tions indicated they will wait until
January before launching their
campaigns, a spokesman said today
The VFW is interested primarily
in two bills that passed the Senate
in July, but did not get action IN
the House.
One bill would raise living allow
ances for single veterans attending
school under the CT Bill of Rights
from $65 to $75 month. 1t would
increase allowances from $50 to $105
for those with one dependent and
give $120 to those with more than
one dependent. The other measure
would give new automobiles to blind
veterans and to those who lost an
arm during the war.
Held unfinished Business"
John C. Williamson, VFW legis-
lative officer, said his group con-
siders the measures unfinished
business that the House should
have taken up last summer" The
VFW has asked in a letter to House
Speaker Martin, that they be taken
up as quickly as possible.
Included in the request, Mr.. Will
hanson said, was an appeal fol
action on a bill that would raise
the income limits of on-the-jot
trainees under the CT Bill. The
measure has passed the House Vet.
eranS' Affairs Committee.
Also high on the VFW list, Mr.
Williamson said, is support for uni.
versal military training. But, he
added, I'VE are reconciled that ne
action will be taken there unit
January"
Amvets Seek Some Controls.

bills-which are supported by al
major veterans groups-the Amvets

fresh instructions from his masters

Luigi Longo, second in command
in the italian Communist organ
ization, has returned to Italy from
Belgrade, headquarters of the Com
inform (new name for the old Com
intern), where he consulted with
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito. He Is
ready for action again.
The violence which Is spreading
now from Marseilles to the Adrl-
attic has nothing to do with any lack
of food or fuel to heat homes. 1t is
being engineered by the French and
italian puppets of Moscow, who ap-
parently have been ordered to UNDER
take direct action.
No increase of wages or food ra-
tions can have any effect on the
Soviet stooges, who keep their labor
organizations under strong-handed
control, They are bent on pre-
cipitating major crisis which Rus
sia, with her 100 divisions west OF
her border with Poland, is watching
with interest.
Action Based on Anti-Americanism.
Moscow's puppets in Western
Europe base their actions frankly
on anti -Americanism. They accuse
Premiers Paul Ramadier and Alcide
de Gasperi of being the tools OF
American imperialism" and of pre-
pairing to surrender their countries
sovereignty to American capitalists.
They call for strong action on the
part of the people.
Since the people are more con-
cerned with their day-to-day prob
lems-food, clothing, warmth and
employment-the Communist have
taken on themselves to stage riots
which, they hope, will lead to civil
war through which they expect to
win government power.
The situation in France, from the
Russian point of view, is somewhat
less favorable than in Italy. The

common policy; and that In each
of them were powerful pro-Russlan
parties-would we think this con-
dition conducive to optimism?
| That is Europe today. Europe
cannot defend herself, but depends
for defense upon the United States
an oceanic country far away. Can
that condition last?
To the defense potential OF the
Soviets have been added 10000, ,O0O
Europeans. Every bit of European
oil, one of the two great coal
basins and Europe's granary are
under Soviet control.
Now the real issue this month
in London is: Where will Germany
go? Will she be reintegrated into a
reorganized Europe, or pushed
toward integration with Stains new
order? Shall Germany be unified
under the Soviet bait of join the new
order and win national unity? Shall
Germany be partitioned-With the
partitioned western parts hanging
in the air?
, If the question is put that way
and the Germans offered choice
am convinced they will choose the
Soviet Union.
If offered the choice of joining
even as separate states, and ever
under strict restrictions-a Euro
pean commonwealth, I am con-
vinced they would choose that. But
since something always is better
than nothing and the Soviets Offer
a comprehensive system. the in
exorable pull will be toward the
east, until the west offers more
than a vacuum, which it must dc
within the near future.

urge to unity Europe had a sound
base, shattered by the fact that ne
sought it's domination and subJec-
ton to a master-state for whom the
others should work in varying oe-
grees of servitude.
German defeat, however, was
hound to revise the whole power
picture. The collapse Of the Ger
man armies in Stalingrad meant
the emergence of a new premier
power on the least defensible from
tiers of Europe. Would this power
after the war, retreat once It's
frontiers were rectifled and secured!
Or would it use advanced positions
from which to conquer Europe, by
fifth columns backed by armed
power?
Policy is Uncertain.

Germany, would go back to "bulld-

How can anybody be sure of such
things? Even if temporarily true,
what guarantee could there be that

might not reverse all this? When be-

financial contracts with our best
friends without having lawyer see

Russian Lord Acton's words,
"the superb autocracy that looms
over Europe and half of Asia
would be, after the war, in posi-
ton from which, unless balanced
by other measures, she could dom
