The big lad getting his chops squeezed on the right is Forrest Evashevski, fans may remember Benson for his work the past few years when the
former Wolverine quarterback and captain of the 1940 team on which Wolverines met his alma mater, Northwestern.

By The Associated Press
The Japanese again have landed
reinforcements on Guadalcanal at the
cost of a destroyer sunk and cruiser;
and destroyer damaged in a deter-
mined effort to wrest the vital Solo-
mon Islands air base from the United
States Marines.
The Navy announced this yesterday
at about the same time U.S. Army
Headquarters in London was disclos-
ing the full extent of a smashing U.S.
Air victory against the Germans over
Lille, France, Friday.
In that greatest daylight bombing
attack of the war,115 Flying Fortres-
ses and Liberator bombers destroyed
48 Nazi planes, probably destroyed 38
and damaged 19. The 500 accompany-
ing fighters shot down five others.
Only four,. U.S. bombers and-no
fighters were lost, making an amazing
score of 110-4.
Besides whittling down German air
strength, the American pulverized the
steel and locomotive works at Lille
which were working for the Germans.
If this left any doubt of the power
of American bombers, one had only
to look to the other side of the world
at Rabaul, New Britain, where the
largest concentration of Allied bomb-
ers yet to operate in one raid in the
Southwest Pacific struck mightily at
the Japanese base.
Some 60 tons of explosives and in-
cendiaries were dumped on te base
from which the Japanese were prob-
ably reinforcing Guadalcanal, setting
fires visible for 80 miles in vital in-
stallations.
In importance, the raid on Rabaul
possibly outranked even the Lille at-
tack because it demonstrated the pos-
sibilities of extended American of-
fensive operations, in greater force,
over greater distances, in the South
Pacific.
Vital though the battle in the
Solomons was, it paled in comparison
to the mammoth struggle in Russia-
the bloody fulcrum of the whole war.

U Has Huge Manpower

By HOMER SWANDER
Daily Managing Editor
IN ALL THIS TALK about students taking part in the nation's war
effort two things stand out:
First, the University of Michigan's 10,000 students DO want to
do their part.
Second, there is a tremendous amount of work right here in Ann
Arbor which can be done by students if and when they become organized.
If we have the manpower, then, and we have important jobs that
must be done, the obvious task is to bring the two together. This must
be done not a month from now, not a semester from now, but TODAY.
No organization now, existing on this campus can do the job the
way it must be done. There is too much rivalry, too much campus
politics, too much campus-as-usual in any single group to trust it with
the tremendous job of realizing the latent manpower of the Michigan
student body.
What we need and need immediately is a brand new, all-embracing
organization for men with the power and the prestige to put students
to work wherever and whenever they are needed.
It should not appeal to the students through any pre-war organi-
zation nor on any pre-war basis. It should appeal for student volunteers
who will understand that it is their patriotic DUTY to respond when
called upon once they have pledged their services.
This new organization should be directly under the Student War
Board, but it should have a boss and an administrative set-up of its own.
IT WOULD BE CONCERNED with just one thing: coordinating the
work to be done with the manpower available. Its membership should
be open to any male student who feels that this war is his own personal
business.
Under such a set-up activities of existing campus groups would
necessarily be somewhat curtailed. There is no other way to accomplish
the gigantic task which lies before us..
The leaders of these campus organization naturally want their own
groups to do as much as possible. But I know these men and I know that
they are bigger than petty rivalries, bigger than vested interests, bigger
than personal ambition and I know they understand that this war is bigger
than any one of us.
I am confident they will cooperate, as will the general student body,
with any manpower organization that is set up. All that remains is to
get the organization under way.
At 6:30 p.m. TODAY in the Student Offices of the Union there
will be a meeting to do just that. The top officer of every major
campus men's organization is asked to be present.

Bob Weise, Michigan fullback, hugs the ball after catching a pass
from Don Robinson behind the Seahawk goal line for the Wolverines
first touchdown. Bill Schatzer, Cadet back, tries to down him, but the
gesture is a little belated. The Cadets went on to overpower Michigan in
the second half, finally winning, 26-14.

Sturdy Iowans Crush
Michigan Eleven 264
By BUD HENDEL
(Daily Sports Editor)
The Iowa Seahawks proved their right to football greatness in Michigan
Stadium yesterday before a crowd of 34,124 fans who sat stunned by the
show of unimpeachable gridiron power taking place before them.
Striking through the air with the devastating efficiency of their own
Navy dive-bombers and rolling along the ground with all the bone-crushing
force of an Army tank, the Seahawks overcame a 14 point deficit to whip
a dead-tired but fighting Michigan eleven, 26-14, and take another step
forward in'their quest for the mythical national championship.
Yesterday's defeat was the worst suffered by Coach Fritz Crisler's Mich-
igan squad since the 20-7 licking absorbed at the hands of Minnesota in 1939,
and it marked the ninth straight year that the Maize and Blue has fallen
before a Bernie Bierman coached team.
For 23 short-lived minutes yesterday Michigan was the best gridiron
crew in the nation, but after the Cadets had worn down the ironman Wol-
verine line it was simply a story of
too much power for sheer guts to the hitherto impregnable Wolverine
combat. George Benson crossed the defense, bounced back for their ini-
double line twice for the Seahawks,, tial first down after 23 minutes of

Before 34,124 customers, Bernie Bierman's Iowa
Naval Cadets charged back in the second quarter of
yesterday's game to defeat Michigan by a score of
26-14. It was the worst defeat suffered by Coach Cris-
ler since the Minnesota game of 1939.
Starring for the cadets was quarterback Forrest
Evashevski, ex-Wolverine star, who caught a 55 yard
pass for Iowa's third touchdown. Other Wolverines
returning were 'Whitey' Fraumann, Bob Flora and

And What InspiredIt...
By BOB MANTHO
I HAVE a story to tell.
Yesterday morning I went down to the University dump.
I saw enough iron there to build a battleship.
Edward Pardon, head of the Buildings and Grounds Department,
told me that the government deadline for delivery of that iron was
months ago.
Mr. Pardon made it plain that nothing is more important RIGHT
- - 1 1 I. - . , , .. . . .
the announcement from
University officials telling
of a ten peracent decrease
in the total enrollment
since September 1941 . . .
though the enrollment
figures are not yet com-
plete, the total in all the
colleges will no doubt
amount to little more than
one thousand less than
last year's 10,271 . . .
Among the many losses

ment issued by the Navy
this week, making possi-

Naval Reserve, Class V-1

students, and conducted
under CPT sponsorship,
the course will last for 16
