FRIDAY NIGHT
Smyrna High Eagles to Play
Lewes High Tomorrow
Night
LOSE LAST SATURDAY

Frank Stellatella's Smyrna High
Eagles will be seeking their second
win of the season as they meet the
gridders from Lewes High under
the arc lights this Friday night at
Smyrna. After losing their first
home game of the season under
the newly-installed lights before a
crowd of about 700 last Saturday
night to Havre de Grace TO, this
next contest looms as hard
fought clash.
Break Sets Up Score
After a see-saw battle for the
first three quarters, Havre de Grace
started to move in the final per-
iod. Starting on their own 20 they
moved to the Smyrna 20 on three
successive plays. Havre de Grace
then fumbled and in the eyes of
the crowd the ball was apparently
recovered by Smyrna. Unfortun-
ately the referee gave possession
to Havre de Grace who drove on
to pay dirt and converted for the
10 score. On the tumble the ref
cree ruled that both the Smyrna
and Havre de Grace players had
equal possession of the ball and the
ruling on such a play is to award
the ball to the team having pos
session last. The Eagles drove to
the Havre de Grace 20 on three
occasions, but begged down as the
visitors defense tightened. Dave
Jacobs was the outstanding play
er in the contest for Smyrna, run
ming, passing, and kicking brilli-
antly.
Fridays Game
Kickoff for the Lewes tilt will
be at 8 o'clock and pre-game pre-
dictions place the two teams on
equal footing. Lewes has triumph
ed two times and have finished on
the short end of the score three

While expressing confidence
that pro-Western democratic ele.
nnentS will prevail. Mr.. McClo,
acknowledged in a report on hi,
f1rst six months in Germany there
is peril from the extremists-espe-
cially II they join forces with
Soviet Russia.
His view is that the United
States. Britain and France re-
tanned ample powers" in setting
up the Bonn regime to deal with
any threat. They have authority
to intervene directly. and can deny
further concessions to West Ger
man government, he noted.
Confers With Truman.
IF necessary 7 would not hesi-
tate to apply these remedies swift
1y and firmly" Mr.. McCloy de-
clared last night.
Mr.. McCloy gave a progress re-
port in a radio address after con-
ferences with President Truman
and Secretary of State Acheson
following his arrival for a weeks
stay in the Capital. He brought
up the matter of the authority re-
tanned by the occupation forces
because he said there is some feel
ing the West gave up power too
soon.
"If there were no danger in
Germany we would not be there -
he said.
Germany constitutes a danger
within itself and even more fear
ful danger If allied with, or sub
ordinated to, the interests of the
Soviet Union"
Soviet Restriction a FURRY.
MIR. McCloy suggested that the
time has come to permit the $50
called little Nazis"-school teach
ers, mail carriers and tax officials
to demonstrate their loyalty to
the new Germany and judge them
on that basis rather than on their
past weaknesses and misdeeds.
While acknowledging that for
mer Nazis have found their way
back into important governmental
jobs and leading business posi-
tions. he contended that "little
Nazis" both cannot and should
not be excluded forever from nor
NAL life in the community.
Mr.. McCloy told news confer
ence that the latest Soviet restric-
tionS on transportation In. and
out of Berlin represented lone of
those furries one las to expect
in Berlin" He said he didn't know
what is in the Russian mind-"it,s
an enigma"
His return to the capital is a
routine visit and not due to any
particular crisis, Mr.. McCloy said.
There's always a crisis In Ger
