TURNING back the pagei of many, calendars, your cor-respondent still recalls the thrill that came when the first breath of early fall came along, and the dog days were over. That meant football. We began practicing around September 15, and the season came to an abrupt finish on Thanksgiv-ing day. It's all different now. Football is al-ready at full swing GrantlandRice colle8eS and many camps. Yale, for example, one of the most conservative of all the univer-sities, has gone all out not so much to develop a single outstanding team, but to have hundreds trained in the matter of condition and dis-cipline that football demands. Cer-tainly no university is doing a finer job. I also could mention Maryland and many others. The Change' These teams want and will work for winners. But beyond that more attention will be paid to mass than to class. Students who never thought of football before now will be shown the feeling of hard body contact, of Increased speed, of Improved stam-ina, of quicker reactions in compe-tition. In the universities, the col-leges and the prep schools there will be at least five, or possibly ten, football players in training against one for other seasons. "Why," someone has asked, "shouldn't these men be in active war service?" The main answer is that the war department wants it this way. First, because most of these men also are taking war training. Second, be-cause the war department wants its coming replacements and reserves to be the best soldiers in the world, trained and conditioned for what is to come later on. Every university and college of any standing in the country is doing Its best to comply with the demands or requests that come from the top. Football is already under full swing at the Naval Cadet camps located at the universities of Geor-gia, North Carolina, Iowa and St. Mary's. "War," as the late General Sher-man said, "is hell." But football In Georgia and North Carolina through August Is no part of a picnic. No one yet knows just how such coaches as Bernie Bierman and Jim- - my Crowley will be able to get winning teams with squads that come and go. with almost no stars from the pros or ; from the colleges The odds are all against them. But football is a big part of their training, and this happens to be tne mam iaea. These four Naval jm Crowley Cadet camps have over 40 games scheduled with the stronger university teams, facing one of the toughest schedules of the year. Other Games In the meanwhile the pros and the army squad are both on their way to camp, to many camps, for the eight games scheduled this month and through early September. This army division, under Bob Neyland and Wallace Wade, will set at least one football record. They will finish up their schedule by Sep-tember 20, just about the spot when most of the others are swinging Into action. Coaches Neyland and Wade have the "rush act" to handle. They have the material many of the great football players of recent years but the Job of whipping these men into a football machine in a short while is no simple job. You can gamble that the Washing-ton Redskins, the New York Giants, the Green Bay Packers, the Brook-lyn Dodgers and others will be some-thing to shove around, despite the fact they have lost close to a hun-dred star men to the services. . Messrs. Steve Owen, Curly Lam-bea- George Halas and others still have enough good material left to keep any team busy, no matter how many stars may be working against them. They, also, are out to win. And these games will play a big part for Army Relief. They are a big part of the bigger game. And they will be something to see. Sfouf Combination The Big Nine, plus Notre Dame, may. easily be football's stronghold for the new campaign. And this isn't overlooking Iowa, which would be a serious mistake. There are linemen on hand to match the backs, especially at Min-nesota, where Norse forwards usu-ally have the call. Minnesota's big line will be led by Dick Wildung. one of the greatest forwards in 1941 a sure bulwark in the season that is not too far away, and which the fans are looking forward to.

FRENCH may not be the LARRY pitcher in the National league but it would be extremely foolhardy to attempt to prove the point within hearing distance of a Dodger fan. Larry MacPhail and Leo Duro-che- r, Big Men of Brooklyn baseball, should feel extremely grateful for the extended them by the Chicago Cubs. In 1941 Billy Her-man, a Cub product, was credited generally with tightening up the Dodgers. It's certain that he did more than his share in making pos-sible the pennant. This summer the work of veteran pitcher Larry French Is helping pave the way to another pennant. The Dodgers secured Larry from Chicago late In August last year. Currently In his 14th big league season, French Is playing better ball than at any time in his career. In his first 11 games he was whipped LARRY FRENCH only once when the Cardinals stopped him 7 to 4 in mid-Jul- His earned run average at that time stood at 0.810 a sensational job. Poor Start French last year compiled a mis-erable record of five victories against 14 defeats. He had a poor start, and that coupled with a change In management brought his career with the Cubs to a close. He went to the Dodgers on waivers. Though the bulk of his 1941 record was established in Chicago, he wasn't of much help to the Dodgers. Nor did he give much promise for 1942. In fact, he wound up with an earned run average of 4.50, denoting ex-treme generosity toward opposition clubs. In his major league playing. French never has been a consistent year-after-ye- ball of Are. As a minor leaguer with Portland and Ogden from 1928 through 1928, French totaled 31 victories against 38 defeats. His best year was In 1928, when he won 8 and lost 7. Despite his record, Pittsburgh took his from Portland and kept him six years. During those six years he won 87 and lost 83. In 1933 he won 18 and lost 13. The next year he won only 12 while losing 18 and was sent to the Cubs in a player deal. With the Cubs for half a dozen seasons, French won a total of 90 games and lost 70. His first year with the Cubs In 1935 he won 17 and lost 10. The next year he won 18 while losing 9. In 1937 he cap-tured 16 and lost 10. Downgrade? Two of the next three years were unsuccessful. In 1938 he won 10 and lost 19. He came back in 1939 to win IS and lose 8. In 1940 he broke even with 14-1- French realized he was on the downgrade at the end of last season, but figured, rightly enough, that he had quite a bit of good pitching left in that arm of his. Even though his 1941 season was somewhat of a flop, he persuaded Larry MacPhail not to draw up his contract until he had an opportunity to show what he could do. Judging from his recent perform-ance. French may draw a salary considerably better than he would have accepted on a straight contract. He never had any great speed, even while In. his youth. Now, at 33, he still is kidded about his "but-terfly ball." But he has developed a teasing knuckle ball taught him by Freddie Fitzsimmons, the old Dodger pitching star. Then, too, his burve is breaking the way it should. Which seems to be all that is nec-essary. French works Just as hard as Fitz-simmons did and the acquisition of the knuckler won't hurt French a bit. As you may remember, in 1940 Fitz established a new National league high for won and lost per-centage with a mark of .889, result-ing from 16 victories and only 2 defeats. This record qame after 20 years of hurling-- . It has been pointed out that if French creates a new mark he will undoubtedly earn it. Most of his pitching probably will be done against hard-hittin- g clubs. su-- a the Cardinals and Giants S;(,ern Newspaper Union. I'ROBLEM OF FOOD IN POST-WA- WORLD know more No living man can of starvation on a peo-Dl- e of the terrors or the needs of meeting such conditions than does Herbert Hoover. during and fol-lowing His wide experience World War I and during the Russian famine, gave him in that field. published book, The In a recently Problems of Lasting Peace, by Herbert Hoover and Hugh Gibson, the authors say the first great prob-lem to follow the final command to cease firing will be to feed the starv-ing people of Europe and Asia, friend and enemy alike. To do that, they estimate it will take 30 million tons. CO billion pounds, of food. Supplying that food will be largely the job of American and Canadian farms. It means wheat, corn, rye and barley, hogs and cattle and dairy prod-ucts In enormous quantities. It means a continuous supply, not for weeks or a few months only, but probably for some years. It means food for people of starved France, Holland, Nor-way, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Poland, China, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, Germa-ny, Italy, much of Russia, the Balkans, Denmark and other lands. It means a greater job than has faced the American farm during the war period, when only ourselves and people of the Allied nations were to be fed. It means tilling more acres and more careful cultivation that every bushel of grain, every pound of meat may be saved. It means continued rationing for months or years for people of Amer-ica that we may divide with and succor the starving peoples of the world. For such a Job we need bumper crops for this year and next year and the year after. We will have no need to worry about surpluses-th- ere will be none. There will be a need for every pound, and more, of food stuffs the American farm can produce. The American farmer will do his job. He will not wrangle about hours or wages or social advance-ments. He will give unstintingly of his time and labor and ability. He will do that because he is first of all a humanitarian, an American. Out of it all may come a contin-ued foreign market for the products of American farms. That depends on the kind ot peace terms made when the war is over. If those terms are along the ideological lines the American people wish for, it will mean an increased market abroad for American farm products. Such terms would embody the prin-ciples of the Atlantic charter, plus economic freedom. U. S. HISTORY IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Washington crossing the Dela-ware; the patriotic' army at Valley Forge; the surrender of the British army at Yorktown; the signing of the Declaration of Independence; the struggle of Lewis and Clark through the western wilderness what a thrill of patriotic fervor all of these, and hundreds of other incidents brought to me as a small boy when I studied American history in that old brick schoolhouse at Ainsworth, Iowa. It was such study that laid the foundation for my love of Ameri-ca, my respect for our institutions, my appreciation of the freedom in-herited from that ragged, frozen lit-tle army at Valley Forge. Today in 22 of our 48 states, Amer-ican history is not a required study in the public schools. Small wonder that we are drifting away from our ideals, that our ideology is changing to a following of falje gods. Our children need the lessons taught by the hero worship of our patriotic forefathers and what they endured, tnat we may enjoy the blessings of American freedom and opportunity. LSSKXTIAL? The labor union organizer, the fel-low who tells the American work-ma- n he cannot have a job at build-in- ? ships, planes, guns, tanks or other war equipment unless he pays the price of union membership, is considered essential to the war t. He is given a priority on tirss to keep his high-price- d autc-riK-b- i'e running, or a new car. If he wants .t. He is allowed what quan-- y f'a. gasoline he says he may He is essential. But if the ::cs of the workman or the farmer wear- out, they must walk. Accord-- to the. priority listings, they are not essential as is the labor tacke-toe- r. hSrL.ISTEu in on "ARMY on the radio gives to all of us a better idea of what the Ameri-h- a h my; doing. efficiency and of standards, and it also gives all "c.v.hans that morale without hch no war can be won.
