Book Reviews ... Here Is Your War by Ernie Pyle. Henry Holt and Company, New York, 1943. $3.00. Little red-headed Ernie Pyle fi’om the flat lands of Indiana, the Grantland Rice of the battlefields, probably tops all other columnists in sketching the common, intimate ^nd personal side of troop life in the lines of combat. This book is a collection of items selected from ^is daily columns, and follows ac tion of our army against Rom mel’s Afrika Korps from beach head to enemy evacuation. Ernie makes no strategic pre dictions. Rather he tells the story of the “Mikes,” “Angelos,” “Isa- dores,” and “Helens,” soldiers, ^iJrses, entertainers, from the fountains of Colorado, the bayous Louisiana, the farms of Iowa, ^nd the avenues of Flatbush. He traveled to Africa with the Invasion forces, mixed with all ^^its, shared their delight in the mail received, learned a little •'^1‘abic, watched Carole Landis, Mitzi Mayfair and Kay Francis ■^hen they U. S. O.’d in the desert. See BOOK REVIEW, page U Lieut. Killinger Named Head Football Coach Lieut. W. Glenn Killinger, USNR, a member of Walter Camp’s All-American football team in 1921, has been named head coach of football at the U. S. Navy Pre-Flight School here, it has been announced by Comdr.

Sets New 50-Meter Record ARRIVING WITH THE 45th Battalion on Feb, 10, Cadet John M. Lilley, of New York City, lost no time in breaking the Pre-Flight 50-meter free style swim record. Representing the Vindicator squad ron, Lilley swam the distance in :26.3, thereby bettering the old mark of :27.1 set jointly by Lutz of the Buffaloes and Kelly of the Kingfishers. Several other pool records are expected to be topped by the Yale alumnus before he completes Pre-Flight training. Pre-Flight, Naval Academy Wrestlers Tangle at Annapolis Undefeated Cloudbuster and Naval Academy wrestling teams clash at Annapolis, Md., this af ternoon, with the latter strongly favored to maintain its perfect record for the season. While the scrappy Pre-Flight- ers have registered two victories over Duke and another over the Cherry Point Marines, the Aca demy team, which has triumphed with ease over all its opponents, is expected to use its greater ex perience to come out on top again.
