Athletes' Need Of Vitamins "Steak and Potatoes Are Not The Best Diet for A F ootball Player Steak and potatoes are not the best diet for a rugby player, for he needs vitaming and mineral salts Just, as much as anyone else. It the player eat a variety of foods , and gets plenty of calories to re- place those used up during exer- cise, his diet will be satistactory, Football makes tremendous de- 'mands on the muscles of the body, For thig reason the weight of the football player should be watched carefully. If he loses weight, his diet should be supplemented with extra milk, malted milk and other foods that are rich in calories.

THE WAR: WEEK BY WEEK . : .- By Elizabeth Eedy As the European war drew. to- ward the close of its fifth week, 'events on the military, the diplo- matic and the propaganda fronts hinged upon the acceptance or re- jection by Great Britain - and France of Adolf Hitler's project- ed peace, Could the Fuehrer, with the help of Mussolini and the im- swing it? What if he should offer to abdicate as head of the German state? Would the war develop "from a gigantic "shadow-boxing" affair (as many people believed it to be) on the Western Front, into a hideous conflict involving most « of the world, or would hostilities "cease for the present to be follow- od perhaps in a few short months by worse crises, more horrible war? Peace Strategy- Major factors in the situation then as we saw it were Russia's diplomatic moves, the attitude of the British Government, the tem- ples, the fate of the Neutrality Act in the United States, Italy's reluctance to be involved in. war, -Germany's serious internal econ. omic condition. (The Fourth Par- tition of Toland - handed twenty without a proportionate amount of agricultural. products to ~ feed them; to Russia went the greater ipart-of Poland's wheat, barley, oat, sugar-beet-producing areas, and most of the cattle and sheep). . We know what Germany's strat- egy was--to force a peace on the Allies following the swift conquest of Poland, and if peace were not acceptable, to commence air at- tacks on all British shipping, raids _over French and British industrial centres. Allied strategy was to hem Germany in behind the Magi- not line while endeavoring to keep all supplies of raw material from the Reich, by means ¢* a stringent naval blockade. - Balance of Power Shifts ments of the past few weeks have come as a result of the shifting of the balarce of power in Europe from: Great Britain (who has held it for over a century) to Russia. Such a drastic -change. meant, among other things, that the con- tingency -has to be left out of the present picture that Germany and Russia might go- to war against one ancther and clean up on each other, leaving the rest of the world in peace. It could now happen in- _might enter upon a long and ex- hausting war, the conclusion of top of the pile. =~ - "What Friendship Accomplished Taking advantage of the new - non-aggressior pact with Germ- any, the Soviety Union has been __able to make herself impregnuble 'inl the west. Poland's eastern for- tifications have fallen into Russian hands; the Baltic Sea has come un- der Russian control; the Balkan states have been, brought within Russia's 'orbit. - But .of special im- portance at the moment is the fact that _Hitler's way to the Ukraine has - been. blocked: What war couldn't do in-this case; friendship has accomplished. - Hitler has been stopped in the east, but not by the means or methods" the. world ex- pected.
