It may be heresy to refer to baseball as the national game in this neck of the woods, but — "all right, so I'm a heretic!" Baseball may not draw the crowds that it used to; it may not even be self-supporting in some colleges, and it may not put many fellows through school. But so far as we can see, baseball's only weakness is its bi-product, the more anemic game of softball, which has sprang up like the cockle and is now choking off baseball itself in some sections of the country. It's as if a touch-football mania suddenly superseded football in prominence here at Notre Dame.

If ever baseball had a chance for a break that is, a break in support, popular­ ity, and attendance at ball games, this year should be the time. We have prospects for a fine team — a veteran infield, a couple of good slabsters, what looks like a hitting outfield, and, for the customers, a ding-dong schedule on tap. Chet Sullivan, Ray Pinelli, Chuck Farrell, and possibly George Sobek at the keystone, look like the best infield combination here in the past four years. At press time it looks as though the outfield will be minus the hitting of Red Oberbruner, but what happens? Batting practice reveals a footballer who can really belt the apple — Andy Chlebeck. With Andy, Roy Pinelli, Bob Hargrave, and Ace Joyce the garden will be well filled. Art Verhoestra now being engaged in making up prescriptions and nut sundaes, Jake figured on some catching worries. But right now — and from 2:30 to 3:45 every afternoon has a catcher who will fill the bill Bemie Crimmins. Of course, after 3:45 Bernie is a right halfback, but if the Northwestern game runs too long tomorrow, Jake can use Tom Brennan to catch the last few innings. They say Northwestern has just finished a tour of the gi-apefrait league — but judging from their success they shouldn't have anything more than we have — except a tan. Lack of any worthwhile practice should make our defense a little shaky, but the hitters will be ready to knock the ears off any Wildcat pitcher, and we doubt very much that.Norv Hunthausen will come up with any cauliflowers.

Cadet Tuma is among the Flying Cadets. With our knowledge securely pinned on our sleeves we stalk through this gross world, impressing the common herd with our erudition in matters musical. We are proud in our knowledge and make no bones of our contempt for the unlearned and, consequently, uncouth rabble. After all, because we possess the great truths of the musical arts we are above the ordinary run of men. However, for anyone afflicted with this pride of intellect which is only a disease there is one sure cure. A half hour spent some Sunday evening listen- to "So You Think You Know Music" (WPAM — 9:30 CST) can humble the greatest egotist. This show, run by Ted Cott with the able assistance of critic Leonard, seems like just another quiz show at first. However, after even stars of the Metro­ politan fail to answer questions about even the most familiar shows, we begin to appreciate the deficiencies of our own musical education. The questions are not particularly difficult nor are they trick questions. Typical of those put to the guests are; Name four operas in which a wedding occurs?

Fr. Putz Escapes (Continued from page 11) Father Putz traveled through the ter­ ritory of both the Maginot and Sieg­ ba^^SlmSl^ fried Lines, so we asked him to compare 124 S. miCHiCfin ST. the two. "Thej' both are practically im­ pregnable," he said, "although the Magi­ not Line is of better quality. It is a solid fortress running the length of France, and is acknowledged to be as strong as Verdun was in the last war. At that time the Germans lost over 300,000 men merely capturing its out­ posts." The completeness of its fortifi­ cation is shown by the fact that the, pill­ boxes of the Maginot Line have guns that are mounted on revolving turrets so that they may fire in both directions. In this way, the French could still com­ bat the enemy even if surrounded. In the Spnng There are enough food and ammunition in the fortress to withstand a siege of a Young Man's two years. "The Siegfried Line, on the other fancy — as his ($3.98 to $6.50) hand, is built on a different idea. There • Antique Tans are five parallel lines with intermittent • Dressy Blacks pillboxes.

While Germany was occupied Avith her blitzkrieg in Poland, the French were not idle. Commander-in-Chief Gamelin ordered skirmishes on the northern Ger­ man border. The French captured nu­ merous outposts and then "dug them­ selves in." A trench now extends along the northern German border, sometimes in German territory, and acts as an im­ pediment to any advance on the Magi­ not. Although it was not widely publi­ cized, Father Putz said, the Germans lost 3,000 men in a counter-attack on these trenches. In concluding our conversation, I asked Father Putz if there was any ani­ mosity between the peoples of the two countries. "Not in the beginning," he answered. "I said Mass, gave sermons, and had nothing said against me, though I am a German citizen. Everyone spoke of the war as 'against Hitler.' Shortly before I left, however, I noticed that the former hatred for the German people themselves was being aroused. War al­ ways breei^g hatred." Father Putz joined the History facul­ ty of the University at the beginning of the second semester and is residing in Cavanaugh Hall. THE NOTRE DAME SCHOLASTIC 27
