...even if and when they do, even if some great attack should sweep the Germans out of the ocean, some air armada lay Berlin in the dust, some huge offensive run the Reich's soldiers all the way through Prussia and chase Herr Hitler off his cliff at Berchtesgaden, it may well be that these are not the deeds of which Britain will be proudest in World War II.

On Frazier Curtis falls the nearly impossible job of filling the combined shoes of Cliff Wilson and Chief Boston as blocking back. As leader of the interference and key man on the defense, this year's quarterback will find it difficult to avoid an unfavorable comparison with his predecessors. Other possibilities at this post are Henry Vander Eb, a Sophomore, and Joel Ferris, a converted Jayvee guard...
