Bob White will hold down the outside right again, with Vaughan Morgas probably getting the assignment at center in place of Frank Farmdon who was hurt in a scrimmage last week...
Between the French Jew and the German "Aryan" antithesis was complete: M. Blum last week was for democracy and a generally concluded European peace to maintain the status quo under a strengthened League of Nations; Herr Hitler was for authoritarian States willing to make no more than a regional peace in Western Europe, scorned the League of Nations, and was keen for altering the status quo to give Germany at least some colonies and perhaps some rich chunks of Russian territory...
