...victory for either side is misled. Quality counts as much as or more than quantity. In World War I, for example, command of the air changed hands several times, and the command changed not only when numbers varied but when one side introduced a superior new plane which could outfight the opposing machines. Something of the same sort was seen recently in Spain where German Messerschmitts 109 could outfly Russian Moscas, Russian Chatos could out-maneuver Italian Fiats. In general, Germany is known to have some of the best fighting ships in Europe. Britain is perhaps runner up in airplane...

With boundless insolence the yellow men, as they bought Stalin's railway for a song last week, actually egged their puppet Emperor of Manchukuo to extend official recognition to the Grand Duke Cyril, pretender to the Throne of Russia. One more insult to Stalin & Co. came when Emperor Kang Te announced that while all Red Russian...
...final game of the season, the Crimson basketball team will meet the Eli cagers in New Haven tonight. After a disastrously unsuccessful season, the Harvard aggregation is expected to make a last desperate attempt to outfight a superior Bulldog team and turn in its sole victory against a first-rate quintet...
