The Summer Review
THE NEBRASKAN
A compelling historical novel on
the life of Capt. John Taul Jones
has been brought forth by Com
mander Edward Ellsbcrg, author
of "Hell on Ice," and "On the
Bottoms." The first complete story
of its kind ever to leave the
presses concerning a man who was
one of the foremost leaders of his
nation, who undenyingly gave his
heart and Ife to a cause in which
he so firmly believed, and a man
to whom very little praise has
ever been accorded.

age of twenty-one, commander of
the first vessel to fly the stars
and stripes, John Paul Jones, the
man, is still a shadowy figure.
History will tell a few of his ac
tivities, such as the story of how
his good ship the Bon Homme
Richard defeated the British
Serapis in one of the greatest of
all sea battles, that he was the last
foreigner to conduct a successful
raid on the British Isles. Many
other stirring stories may be
found in the little history books,
but none of these ever portray a
picture of John Paul Jones, the
man. Who knows what tragedy
made him add Jones to his name ?
Who knows what kind of fighting
stuff this man had who could sing
out "I have not yet begun to
fight when his ship was sinking?
Nobody has ever before revealed
the man who made up some of
the most colorful and romantic
war tales ever to enter a school
boy's history book.
Commander Edward Ellsberg
tells the story of Jones In the
woras or Tom foiger, a young
Nantucketer, against the turbu
lent background of men and worn
en caught in the sweep of the
Revolution.
From the opening pages to the
end of the novel it is a story of
neaaiong adventure. It is a prod
uct of long and arduous hours of
meticulous research from which
include Commander Ellsberg
Dirngs vividly to life the character
of John Paul Jones as the men
who fought under him, and the
women who succumbed to. his
charm, saw him and knew horn.
The author's recreation of the sea
battles, their daring and unconven
tional strategy, the superb sea
manship of Jones, the fierce real
ity of the cannonading, boarding,
fighting, makes superb reading.
Commander Edward Ellsberg
brings to it all the vividness of
detail and emotional power which
took his readers beneath the ocean
to the breath-taking salvage of the
S-51 in "On the Bottom" and
which brought to life in "Hell on
Ice" the heroic struggles of the
ill-fated Jeannette in the Arctic
And it Is inevitable that readers
should see in Captain Paul a
warning and exhortation for
Americans today. There are polit
ical wranglings in the face of na
tional danger, speeches and delays
in place of action. But John Paul
Jones takes out an old crumbling
ship with obsolete guns and wins
his battles in the face of seem
ingly insuperable odds.

Confidence and the will to win
petitors in the sports realm can own. To this fact two of the world's
most courageous representatives of
night before 54,000 delirious fight fans these two gladiators had both.
The manner in which they displayed them will go down in the
annals of pugilistic history as a
of all famous heavyweight champions, and the cockiest of all cocky
contenders.
Champion J. Louis confident that he would chill his impetuous
young adversary before the bell for the sixth round was ever chimed,
and handsome fiery Billy Conn determined to emerge the victor
locked horns at the Polo grounds in a scrap the likes of which has
not been witnessed since the evening young Corbett was stopped by
big Jim Jeffries in a rery similar go. From the opening gong thru
two minutes and 58 seconds of the 13th round both Joe and Billy
fought like lions, trading anvil-like blows that would fell an ox, and
coming back for more dripping with blood and sweat, spurred on only
by the will to win.
Spirit such as was manifested by those two lads is beautiful and
something of which to be proud. Defeat to either one can not be
lamented. Someone had to bow, and bow Billy Conn did and it
was done gloriously.
Wily Willy going into the 13th round had one foot on the title
throne and only nine minutes before he could put the other on that
coveted spot, but Billy chose to cast aside his winning tactics of the
previous 12 rounds and close in for the kilL Too bad, a good little
man simply cannot slug it out with a good big man. Here was
the case of too much confidence on Billy's part as he glided out for
the exchange In that famous thirteenth, Champion Joe in a last wave
of desperation peeped over his upheld gloves and sighting an opening
in Billy's guard after young Bill missed a left jab to Joe's head, the
Bomber reached out with that mighty right mitt and tagged the
challenger into a senseless daze which he followed with all his light
ning fury to drive witless Willy across the ring into a foggy oblivion
that ended with Conn prostrate
the heavy weight king.
For the benefit of any tootball
fans who have been entertaining
dreams of witnessing the annual
All Star gridiron classic between
the Chicago Bears, national foot
ball league champions, and the
cream of the 1940 college stars;
the choicest of the choice seats
are already gone and the others
going rapidly. The player poll will

Red Grange's player program late
last October.
