...Europe where the pressure of surplus population is the greatest and the post-war impoverishment the most acute. It is no accident, surely, that with the non-European world closed to European migration and in large part to European trade, there should have followed so quickly a fierce movement toward empire and a ruthless spoliation of the more defenseless minorities...

Considered second-class by most pre-season prognosticators, Halfback Cafego & Co. ran up a string of eight victories in a row, made it nine last week against Kentucky (46-to-0), won the championship of the Southeastern Conference and wondered if they would get a bid to the Rose Bowl...
