"Fearless" Fraley's Season Exit

The final play and then off to
the showers after a season in
which 79 of 444 choices refused
to roll over and say uncle
Fraley's Follies or the week-end
football winners.
East
Army over Navy Navy has a
great ball club, with great ends,
tackles, guards, center, quarter
back, halfbacks and fullback.
It's only 11 men against 11 men.
The Middies will be .shooting
with everything they've got
but it ain't enough. Army will
be lucky to escape a homicide
charge.
Yale over H a r v a r d Cam
bridge colors are crimson, Old
Eli's are blue: when Yale gets
finished, those Harvards will
, sue. (oh you kid!)
. Mid-West
'Notre Dame over Great Lakes
Remember the Alamo, re
member the Maine, remember
Pearl Harbor and remember
1943 when the sailors upset the
undefeated Irish. The South
Benders do, and their memoirs
should pay off in spades.
West
Southern Cal over UCLA
shake some roses in front of
these Trojans and it's like of
fering Wimpy a hamburger.
This puts two southern teams
in the grandfather bowl.
Oregon over Oregon State
rd, Wilton Whlta and Cliff
Proctor,
to coin a cliche, I flipped one.
St. Mary's pre-flight over
California they must be good
if they can beat California
(Chamber of Commerce adv.)
Southwest
Texas over Texas A. & M.
But it's as silly to gamble on
this one as it is to try to get a
royal flush: Odds 649,739 to 1.
Rice over Baylor it's only
one bear, and this isn't Goldi
locks. TCU over SMU converting
the mustang into a nice, gentle
riding hoss.
South
Alabama over Mississippi
States This is where you risk
the family jools. State was
looking ahead last Saturday
when it stumbled, but the Crim
son Tide will wash right on
through the Rose Bowl.
Miami over Auburn pee'
yourself an orange, mate.
Clemson over Wake Forest
using the alphabet system.
Georgia over Georgia Tech
come out fighting.
Virginia over North Carolina
-eaved cavaliers come back.
Tennessee over Vanderbilt
outvoted and outvolunteered.
LSU over Tulane ain't no
flies on the Bayou Bengals.
William and Mary over Rich

After taking a two weeks lay

his report on where and where

Illinois river has provided the
biggest thrill of any stream
hereabouts for some time, Piche
reports. Some fish when hook

straightened out pre-war hooks.
The fish now in the Illinois are

f Twelve flying Tigers India-China "hump" pilots and
A.V.G. ground crew men came home from the war with an
idea. After what they'd learned in China, they thought they
could carve out a place for themselves in the air freight
business-not as a regularly scheduled line but as contract
haulers.
2 They knew they'd need a lot more topSM, But that
didn't discourage them. They pooled the savings they had,
drew up their plans and started beating the bush for
backers. Eventually they lined up several Los Angeles
businessmen to furnish the additional capital on a 50-50
' ''-the veterans to operate the company.
3 With this (spits! they bought S new, twin-engine
Navy -designed "Conestoga" cargo planes from the Surplus
Property Board. Then they set up offices at the Long
Beach (Cal. Municipal Airport, named their company
National Skyway Freight Corp, and started business

4 Today the "Flying Tiger Line" employs 40 men, 38
of them veterans. Its planes, each with a cargo capacity
of lO.CWO pounds, haul anything, from strawberries to
penicillin, on a contract basis. Furthermore, they'll pick up
freight any time, anywhere in the U. S. and deliver it any
where in the world.

But that doesn't seem nearly as important to us as the
fact that the boys were able to do what they did. It could
hardly have happened under anything but the American
"system."
6 Without th prof if Incentive the businessmen would
not have pat up the capital Without the tope of gaining
financial independence, the boys certainly wouldn't have
sweated out the endless problems of starting a new busi
ness. Altogether, we think it's one of the greatest things
that's happened since the war.
