The French Get a Chance
said "no” The reasons for abol-
lshing athletics were as follow's
Because of events of international im'portance which have j
taken place in the List tw o : or three v eeks the Frencnl jnediocre football team 5-3 percent
people seem to have found a new inspiration worth fighting expense 284 percent loss of time
-for Despite the fact that many of their leaders turned traitor
at a crucial stage of the game and despite the fact that their
'country was in such a political upheaval the French people
should now lie thankful that thev can strike back at their
enemies
Such facts as the destruction of the French fleet at Toulon
and the brilliant military leadership’ of Gen Charles De-
Gaulle should prove to the French that their struggle' will
: not have been in vain The -f French forces in Ndrtn Africa
‘ have a chance to show Hitler that they are not a decadent
race The Frenchmen in France will haye this chance when
the United Nations invade the continent When this invasion
takes place the French will be able to fight without fear to
be proud of their country once again and to help give Ger-
manv the worst militarv defeat $ne has ever experienced
