Show pip X. ?CE yOU care to look few onths ahead, or a year "l writes one of our leading i. "I'll give you the answer nlng sport. I happen to be sition to know what is taking We will have more sport rer before, but most of it will army camps. I mean both 11 and football, especially 1 next fall. that time we'll have around (0 in army or navy life. Their ' I i main recreation will be sport. There have been so many turned down through physical physi-cal disabilities that we will soon have a rush on athletes. It will not be a surprise sur-prise to see an appeal ap-peal made to all college col-lege athletes and to professional athletes of the right age to enlist. iBd Rice young, unmar-hlctcs unmar-hlctcs earning fame or mon-i mon-i year will not be popular I Certainly not with the divl-cattered divl-cattered all over the United I I think you can get their tot. The luck of the draft be taken Into consideration. III not be cheering stars who nng, strong and well fixed lUy. It will be just as It was World war more than 20 tgo. few Schedule Ink I can give you the new le, as army and navy offl-link offl-link it will pan out. There baseball and football games, ixing matches, between regi-;and regi-;and divisions and armies, nen in camp will need some-leyond some-leyond the average to break ir routine existence. They ;et this from entertainers, ex- part. In fact, they can only I from sport, and that will irily mean the top-ranking I sport, kill mean the best of our I players, college and pros. I mean many of our better f ue and minor league base-tyers. base-tyers. They will have to come er from the draft, or through fe of public demand. The m 'slacker' proved very ef-in ef-in obtaining recruits during rid war. y won't be getting any extra lor this service. There will ashing in.

Just f that Gene Tunney fought in 1 may not believe me, but this will take place." I light Angle seems reasonable enough. In t war I know the feeling en-nen en-nen had against those who ill cashing in on their physi-iity physi-iity to play some game. It ter. time we are not at war. But y respects camp life Is worse tr, when it comes to the mat-ull mat-ull routine. This routine will be broken up. The only an-sport. an-sport. With a million or two men In camp, averaging less .0 a month from private to int, you can understand how ould feel and their people feel about younger and r athletes mopping up flnan- may say this is unfair that k of the draft is all that Well, the luck of the draft ount with those fellows get- at reveille and waiting for lot unless human nature has d completely. didn't ask for it, either, but it it. They are not going to heering for some young fel-)und fel-)und 21 or 23 or 25, making dlines or getting big money, 1 physical skill, while they rrying a gun or driving a flying a plane for a buck a i no headlines. mge Due tr the volunteer enlistment ; draft seem to be unimpor-ust unimpor-ust wait a few months. It quite different. There will be i-ndous change in mental at-n at-n the part of the public, as those moving from reveille still will be big-league base-id base-id college and pro football But I think there still is a nee these will be secondary ; to army and navy sport. |
