Or. McNicoll Returns To University from Cuba.
Soys Island Has Strong reeling fer United Slates
Dr. Robert E. McNicoll, Pro-
tossor of Latin-American History,
ass just returned to the Unlver-
■ty after a year's leave of absence in Cuba.
Dr. McNicoll was exchanged
for both Dr. Enrique Noble and
Or. Salvador Massip. While In
Cuba he taught diplomatic relations at the University of Havana,

-trsphy at Candler CoUege. These

em or vital natural resources.
but Cuba is determined to keep
the enemy away from its shores.
Turning to lighter material, Dr.
McNicoll pointed out that the
University of Havana is not like
most Ameeriean universities. The
15,000 students that attend the
univenity follow the lecture system of study. Theere U no compulsory attendance at these lectures, and the professor does not
care whether or not a student attends his lectures in the course of
study.
Mimeographed eopiess of the
lectures are on sale and »nyon«
can buy them for study. The
only requirement at Havana ta
that the student pass rather stiff
examinations.
There are no fraternities at tne
Univeraity of Havana. The .indents as a whole seem to he a hit
more mature than the average
American college student The Havana itud-enta em very .active in
polities, aad exhibit a treasen-
dous influence on Cuban government. They were even responsible for the laat revolution ia
Cuba.
.
Dr. McNicoll consideers the interchange of studpnts the basis of
a better underst-—iding between
the United States and Latin America. AboSt a half doxen students of this university have gone
down to Latin America in the laat
few years to learn the Latin-American way of life as well as their
language.
Many of these studied either at
the University of Havana or at
the University of Pern. Among
the Univeraity of Miami students
who attended the University of
Havana last year are Vincent _-
velH who ta now an interpreter in
the army and K_theline Hickey.
Dr. McNicoll is a graduate of
the University of Miami where be
studied Latin-Aoeriean affairs
under Dr. Victor BeUunde. He
earned his Ph. D. et Duke specializing in Peruvic-; affairs. He
helpeed organize the first summer
school st the University ef San
Marcos in Limn, fere; and was

The University of Miami inaugurates its 17th football campaign,
its first under war-time conditions, Saturday afternoon when the
Hurricanes battle Chief Specialist George McAf.ee and his mates
from the Jacksonville Naval Air Station in the Burdine stadium
at 4:30 p.m.
Opening against the powerful service eleven is regarded as a
_H— -. <■__,_ _»_ -_— . dubious honor, for the air station,
I irSI fep neeUng which defeated Florida, 20-7, in
fltn-s. — -   ■ ■ --..  a its   initial   encounter,   boasts   of
Starts 1 Oaaf CR 1 the greatest ball-carrier in pro-
ball last year, the All-American
McAfee.
Augmented by other All-Am., r-
icans of yesteryear, the Jax. base
is considered by the football experts as the toughest team on the
Hurricane schedule. Tbe Fliers'
victory over Florida and close defeat by the top-ranking Georgia
gridmen, 14 to 0, is testimonial
of their strength.
"Our schedule was almost completed when we arranged a game
with the Naval station," said
Coach Harding yesterday, when
asked if he had purposely scheduled the Pliers for the opener.
"However," he added, "the air
station didn't have the team it
has now."
With the exception of two seniors and a sophomore. Coach Harding will be able to field a junior
eleven, four of whom held down
regular positions last season. Last
year the Hurricanes won eight out
of 10 games, losing only to Florid-, 13-0, and Alabama, 21-7, in
the final game of the season.
During the last week of the one-
month training season, Miami's
chances against the Fliers were
reduced when Bob Douglas, right
halfback, fine kicker and pass receiver, bruised his collar bone in
practice. He was felled by Lee
Wilson, former Edison star, after
he had caught a touchdown pass.
According to Trainer "Doc"
Woods, Douglas will not be ready
for the Jax.  game.
Walter Watt, 175-pound junior, will replace Douglas at right
half, with Joe Chuprevich in reserve. Watt is the fastest player
on the squad.
After scouting the mighty air
station twice. Coach Harding apparently is aware of the Fliers'
flawless    ground    defense    which
