HE HARDLUCK Hornets
H
begun n slory In the Ama
rlllo News Sunday morning In
whch was reported the sicken
lug results of Friday nights
fJBL game Even In his story the same
P hard luck prevailed As you
probably noticed tliu Hornets
statistics which were much
more complimentary than those
of the Eagles were attributed to
Canyon Ono minor error on the
part of the newspaper distorted
tho picture completely We arc
quite sure the error was mode
after tho stoiy left Frank God
roes typewriter Incidentally
have you noticed the fine way
in which Godsoc Is handling the
publicity of Class A teams this
j car He hasnt left a stone
imturned to publicize every team
generously and In an Impartia
manner And dont you llko the
informal downtocat th way he
handles the stories
SPECULATION has
MUCH In the air as to why
the Hornets lost Fridays game
a game which most everybody
believes should have been won
Some believe the loss is partially
attributable to a psychological
L warfare uclng waged against the
V B school and team
THE WAR one of our
enemies favorite weapons
was the psychological type as
personified by such characters
as Lord Haw Haw and Tokyo
Rose On the surface it was
difficult to believe that they
werent friends of thu Allied
forces They were most active
during periods of military reverses
and at times when the
morale of the Allied fighting
men was at its lowest ebb Their
technique included of all things
SYMPATHY Above all they
hoped to persuade our men that
they weie being given a raw
deal by the American and Brit
to
ish governments They hoped
engender within the minds of our
men the idea that they were
the
being pushed around that
back home were making
folks
i chumps of them and that tho
only friends they had were of
II all people Lord Haw Haw and
W Tokyo Rose This type of war
Lord Haw
are did not die when
kIaw swung from British gallows
into
Rose
when
obscurity say some people
