clemson, 1914, ana North Carolina,
including Charley Justice, 1877. All
of which will make the Deacons
hefty favorites.
Boast Leading Passer.
Seems they hardly miss Nick
sacrinty, who now plays with the
Bears. Tom Fetzer seems to be
passing as well as Nick ever did,
maybe better. At any rate, accord
ing to the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Bureau, and not Bost this time,
Fetzer has the highest percentage
of competitions of any major college
player in the country. In three
games he has completed Is out of
38 tosses for .658 average.
Fetzer's favorite target seems to
be Jim Duncan. They came up from
high school together. He also throws
to Red O'Quinn, and with such sue
cess that in tripping North Carolina
last week he completed y of 16
tossed. (Note-All this bodies no
good. for G. w., which lays no claim
to having the worlds best pass de-
fense)
Moving up to the line, which
averages 213 pounds, Bost lays claim
to only two all-America candidates.
These are Guards Bob Leonetti (23O
pounds and Ed Royston (21O
pounds. Leonetti, incidentally
played for the G.. w. freshmen back
in 1912 and would be with the Colo
mails yet If they hadn't made such a
late start in football last year. Both
Leonetti and Royston are nothing
less than terrific and had a lot to
do with bottling up Justice last week
Justice in seven plays totaled only s
yards. In fact, the whole Carolina
team managed only 81 yards on the
ground.
But in case football fans here
think It's going to be a walkaway
for the Deacons come Saturday, Bost
hastens to add that he has informa-
tion, from Deacon scouts, that G.. w.
is much better club than its record
indicates. I'VE do not regard this
game lightly. It's G. WIS first home
game and they're going to give us a
scrap. Our scouts say that those
two big tackles. Butkas and Ship
man, are plain murder. No use try
ing to go near them even. The
farther we keep away from them the
better off We'll be.
Stanley Promises a Passer
In the George Washington camp
Coach Skip Stanley promised he
would produce forward passer who
would up the Colonials' miserable
average of II out of 43 competitions
In three games, and apparently it
will be Henry Bartelloni who will!
get the chance.
Bartelloni will start in the back
field with Bill Spangler, the Co.
lonials' top player to date; Joe Wa
pinsky, the blocking back, and AL
Du Golf, the fastest man in the
G. w. backfield.
The students have not given up
on the ColoniaIs despite three
straight out-of-town defeats. The
team was to be honored in a pep
rally on the G. w. campus today.
George Washington has the du-
bious honor of having given the
University of Virginia much better
ball game than did Harvard or
V. P. I. The Colonials' defeat at
the hands of once-beaten v. M. I.
came in the last seconds and the
other by once-beaten Washington
and Lee was in the mud, so they
may give Wake Forest a better oall
game than expected.

Promoter Says Bonkheod
Missed Exhibition Game
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17.-Dan
Bankhead, colored pitcher of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, is in hot water
with Promoter Bill Feistner for
failing to appear in an exhibition
game here Wednesday night for the
Kansas City Royals against Bob
Fellers All-Stars.
But Bankhead, in Memphis, says
he doesn't know Feistner and never
received transportation money to
make the trip.
The promoter said he will ask
Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chand-
Ter to take disciplinary action
against the pitcher.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-In years
gone by, Notre Dame annually had
its toughest game with Nebraska.
The series is being resumed tomor-
row and it is unfortunate for the
Huskers that the Irish, who have
sweated through two straight tri-
umphs, now supposedly have the
go-ahead signal.
It could be that Nebraska will
surprise, but it is very doubtful
at least, that is opinion of this fore
caster whose record of 148 victories
and SO losses for an .8O4 average
gives the Huskers plenty of room for
an upset.

the best of condition while all the
numerous Quakers are healthy.

Kentucky Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt
has been one of the surprises of
the football season with three
straight wins. Here is where the
Commodores get a surprise of their
own. Kentucky.
Washington State California:
Washington State hasn't been able
to score more than a touchdown in
any of its four games. That won't
be enough against the most i'm
proved team in the Coast Confer
ence California.
Arkansas-Texas: The Longhorns
won the 1916 version of this annual
battle, 20 to 0, and there's no indi-
cation that Bobby Layne and Co.,
will settle for less this time. Texas.

dering on Palestine are marshalling
their pitiful little armies, threaten
ing a holy war unless the United
Nations humbly accepts the broken
faith of the Arabs themselves.
This bluff, which is ludicrous but
not funny, should be called without
any more delay. 1t should have been
called long ago. Had there been
enough craftsmanship and charac-
ter in Great Britain and in the
United States to solve Palestine's
troubles in accordance with pledges
given and acted on, the only ques-
tion remaining today would be ole
of how long it would take the in
dustrious and energetic Jews to
make their ancient homeland into
prosperous and modern state.
Versatile People.
Historically the Jews have been
versatile and an enduring people.
Generally, the hand of their fellow
man has been against them. From
the time that Jerusalem fell into
hostile hands they have been wan
dering over the face of the earth.
For centuries they have submitted
to all manner of persecution. They
suffered pogromS at the hands Of q
score of benighted and superstitious
nations. They have been thrust into
ghettos as pariahs with whom their
so-caued civilized neighbors would
have nothing to do, except at a
profit to themselves.
In a majority of European coun-
tries the patience and endurance
Of these prosecuted people finally

them as human beings In Ger
many, many, as the result of inter-
marriage and deliberate intention,
became as German as the Germans
themselves. But this did not pro-
tect them when Hitler reasserted
the primitive belief that someone
foreign, regardless of how many
generations one had to go back to
date his alienage, was a potential
danger to the pure germanic strain.
In order to slake, although not to
safe, the bloodlust stimulated by
Hitler and his gangsters, six million
Jews, men, women and children,

altar Of ignorant lusts, as a human
victim was ever. offered up to the

But despite the savageries Of So
called Christians, the Jews, during
the last World War, were buoyed by
one hope. After the First War,
Great Britain, with a promise Of
support by the United States, issued

Man to Man
Arab Bluff of Holy War on Palestine

the Balfour Declaration. This
promised the Jews a homeland in
Palestine. Long before the bloody
darkness of Hitlerism settled over
Germany and Middle Europe, Jews
from different parts of the world
mainly from such lands as Poland
and Rumania, where their lives had
been made particularly bitter, had
gone back to the Promised Land of
their remote ancestors. Protected by
the British, who had accepted a
mandate from the League of
Nations, and financed largely by
American dollars, Jews were well on
their way toward making Palestine
land of milk and honey in fact.
Then Chamberlain came into power
in England, with his base and
cowardly doctrine of appeasement.
He struck down the Balfour Dec
laration, and substituted for it the
so-called White Paper.
Black at Heart.
This may have been white in ap-
pearance, but 1t was black at heart.
It's effect was to garrote the noble
purposes of the Balfour Declaration.
Speaking through the late King
Feisel, the Arabs had acquiesced in
the principle Of the Balfour Dec
laration, but they became truculent
after the British betrayal of the
Jews. During the late war, the
Arab states that had been carved
out of the Ottoman Empire by the
Allies after the First World War
stood aloof, ready to rush into the
arms Of either Hitler or the Allies,
whichever might prove to be the
victor.
And yet not all Of them stood
aloof. The notorious Mufti of Jeru-
salem, Hal Amin ell Husseini, threw
all of his sinister influence on the
side of Hitler. He aided Hitler in
massacring Jews, and if there were
real justice in the world, he would
be defending himself before the bar
Of international justice as one of
the principal war criminals of the
world.
The role to be played by Great
Britain and the United States in
Palestine cannot now be a worthy
one, in view of the bad faith and
the cowardice that already have
been displayed. But at least their
role will be a less ignoble one if
they act promptly and decisively.
Surely neither they nor the United
Nations will continue to quake
before hollow Arab threats that the
people of Palestine themselves will
be able to meet without calling for
the use Of the armed forces of either
Great Britain or the United States.
