Wickard, sec-reta- ry of agriculture, has announced a nation-wid- e drive to produce more eggs as part of the aid to England and defense plan. He sets the goal at 30.000,000 extra dozen eggs tor h. n is months. News Item.) Come on, hen! Say when! Don't be a cluckl Don't pass the - buck! . Heyl Lay! - Today! Aornaa the COlin- - The call for more tryjoeithe e"s- - call-- The barnyards hear it, one and all; The message sweeps from east to west: "No longer, hen, your second best!" A buzzer buzzes and It's done . . . A paper's signed In Washington . . . Stenographers rush here and there There's action in the very air; Officials leap to telephones The orders ring In solemn tones The message flows from silver pens: A Proclamation to The Hens. In headlines big the news is played: "ALL POULTRY CALLED FOR ALL-OU- T AID." The wires 'cross the nation sing. An ultimatum's on the wing By horseback and by auto, too, By radio and by canoe, By every telegraphic loop To every hennery and coop, "Come, hen, your country calls to you One egg is not enough! Give twol" The message whistles through the trees To startle birds and busy bees; It leaps across from farm to farm And spreads a "Hen" Revere alarm, "Awake! Get up! The goin's tough! Get up there, hen, and do your stuff!" The chicken houses rock and sway To this one order, "Lay, hen, lay!" The roosts vibrate to one word "Scram!" As they're abandoned on the lam; The nests they seem to snap and creak As orders reach an all-tim- e peak! The hens outside pow scamper, in. Their faces drawn a little thin; "We've laid one egg" say three or four; The others answer "War is war!" Mayhap one sulks; she hears a "Boo!" And yell of "You appeaser you!" Then looms some organizing hen (From Layers' Union Number 10); "Arise!" her cry is loud and clear, "Demand the right to bargain here! Production speed is very nice, But are we hens or are we mice?" Then Washington by hens is stormed And hencoop picket lines are formed; Hark! Overhead the transports dive, The mediation boards arrive! But lest this tale be far too long The hens are saved; they ain't done wrong; They sign to do the best they can But scrap the big production plan. Then to their nests they quickly scram And give three cheers for Uncle Sam, Three lusty cheers (and shake a leg) Three cheers, ah yes, but Just one egg! ADOLF'S PREROGATIVE The Nazis emphasize that their terrible raids on London are in re-prisal to teach London a lesson for bombing Berlin. Hitler, you under-stand, alone has the right to bomb big cities.

We expect any day now that Hitr ter win move Mt Olympus to Berlin and claim he Is really Homer FIELDING HURRY-U- P YOST of was 70 yetrs old a month ago. He came along when football was young and at 70 he is still as rugged as his West Vir-ginia oaks or his Michigan hem-locks. By a rule of the Western confer-ence. 70 Is the retiring age, which . means that one of HA vmtL the ablest and most colorful characters from the American sporting scene has come to the end of a football road that goes back to West Virginia and the autumn of 1895. Only Lonnie Stagg and Pop Warner can look back a deeper distance to a faraway past Grantland Rice zaraway ana long ago. The game has given ns only one Stagg only one Warner only one Zuppke and only one Yost. They painted the scene with a flaming, flaring smear of vivid color that no one else barring only the fa-mous Knute Rockne has ever ap-proached. It was in 1895 that a big, shaggy-haire-d, gawky backwoods teacher from Fairview saw and played in his first football game. Hurry-u- p Yost had arrived. Yost was so keen about football from the start that no one univer sity could offer him enough compe-tition. So In 1895 he played with West Virginia, Lafayette and the Allegheny Athletio club. Brink Thorne of Yale was one of the Lafayette coaches when Yost was starring on a team that beat one of Pennsylvania's star elevens by 6 to 4. "Yost wanted to play football all day long," Brink once told me. And talk it all night, he might have added. Covering the Map On his march across the country's map Yost coached teams at Ohio Wesleyan, Nebraska, Kansas and Stanford. 0 Again one university wasn't enough. While at Stanford he also coached four other teams success-fully the Stanford freshmen, San Jose Teachers, Lowell high school of San Francisco and the California ry" m.n.imwuiwimiiiuMiiiiiij FIELDING YOST Ukiah team. Five teams that's what you might call putting in a full season. Most of his teams had victorious sweeps, but it was not until 1901 when his famous battle cry of "Hurry-u- p Hurry-up- " arrived at Michigan that Yost came to instant fame. "I still believe those Michigan teams from 1901 through 1905 were the greatest five consecutive foot-ball teams any university ever moved into destructive action. Play-ing through heavy schedules they won 55 games, tied one and lost one while scoring around 3,000 points. Yost coached Michigan for 25 years before he took over the direc-torship of athletes. In those 25 years his teams won 169 games and lost but 10. They won or tied for the Big Ten title eight times, and during 11 of those 25 years the Maize and Blue was not in the con-ference. What an all-tim- e Michigan team Yost could have put into the field from the men he coached. He turned out 16 nominations through 1926. In addition to all this, Yost directed the construction of six athletic buildings, including the Michigan Stadium that seats some 87,000 riponle. A Football Life For over 40 years football has been Yost's life. He has eaten it, dreamed it, talked it and lived it. The last time I saw him we had lunch together at one o'clock. At three o'clock the next morning he was still showing me what made a good punter, and how to block. At the finish I was a battered and a beaten wreck. You have to be in ideal condition to talk with Yost. He hammers your chest with the powerful, stub ' by fingers of both bands. jimiiimiiiiiiimiimiiimiiiiiiriiiiiiH Speaking I I By ROBERT McSHANE Z ll0Md by Wttltrn Nawipopw Unloa 7iiiillilliliiiliiiiiiiliiiiliililllllliillllre THOSE cash customers who to stay awake long enough to see Billy Soose plod his way to a middleweight "cham-pionship" victory over Ken Overlin recently had a two-fol-d cause for complaint First, the fight was a dull, dreary affair with Soose, who didn't de-serve It, getting the nod from both judges and the referee. Second, the world's middleweight or muddlewelght championship was not at stake. A lad by the name of Tony Zale, hailing from Gary, Ind., has much better claim to that honor than either of the gentlemen. Back to complaint No. 1. Unques-tionably the bout was one of the most uninteresting spectacles ever perpetrated upon a long suffering public. Soose was a favorite from the day the match was made. When the boys climbed Into the ring the night of the fight, the lobby odds were 2V4 to 1 on him. The "champ" wasn't given much of a chance. The Press Doesn't Agree But when the fight was aver the newspaper men at the ringside voted 2 to 1 for Overlin. They were far from enthusiastic about the fight, but they did think Overlin won. Not so the officials. Referee Arthur Donovan and Judges Marty Monroe and Billy Healy reported unanimously for Soose. Donovan's card gave Soose eight rounds and Overlin seven. Monroe scored the fight similarly. Healy BILLY SOOSE didn't think it was that close. He gave Soose nine rounds, Overlin five, and called one even. The Associated Press scorecard gave Overlin 11 rounds and Soose four. This variance in opinion might In-dicate that the fight was a thrilling encounter between two brawlers who gave everything they had in a brave, strong effort to whale their opponent. Sadly enough, that pic-ture couldn't be more untrue. A barroom brawl would have been more exciting and twice as dan-gerous. It was a tiresome perform-ance, and the fans who saw it won't be numbered among those who "de-mand" a repeat match. Championship Dynasty Complaint No. 2, the more serious charge, demands a bit of recent his-torical evidence. Tony Zale owns the middleweight championship by right of conquest. He whipped Seattle AI Hostak, the former legiti-mate champion. Al, In his turn, had won the title from Freddy Steele. Steele won the crown through victory over the champion who preceded him. This whole chain, built entirely of champion-ship links, can be stretched back ad Infinitum. Zale's title Is as clear cut as Soose'a is phoney. Yet, Soose was described as "the winnah and the new champeen" in an inspired announcement at the end of the fight. Why? Because Mike Jacobs and the favorably inclined New York box-ing commission, controllers of box-ing in the East, decided by edict that Soose Is the champion. Neither Zale nor Hostak are con-trolled by the Jacobs. They are not "company" men. Therefore Soose would never get permission to fight them. It was necessary, therefore, that the "title" be at stake in this fight Then the "outlaw" fighters would be eliminated without benefit of fists. Jacobs has declared that Soose is champion, so that's that. Zale's claim is very conveniently ignored in favor of one of his own boys. And Uncle Mike, with a strangle-hold on the fight game, is power-ful enough to wear down the oppo-sition and make his claim stick. New York has a peculiar claim to possession of the 165-pou- title. The state boxing commission, whose authority ends at the state's bor-ders, developed a pronounced dis-like for Hostak a few years ago. Hostak was ruled out of the cham-pionship. The board was stuck for a while, but somewhere they heard that one Ceferino Garcia had the right weight qualifications and that he had done a bit of boxing. Here, of course, was the ideal candidate. Promptly, and to that gentleman's astonishment, they made him king f the middleweight division. Nation's Civilian Defense Chief Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardla of New York city, who has been appoint-ed by President Roosevelt to head the office of civilian defense, is shown here as he received his commission from the Chief Executive In Washington.
