PAGE FIVEq R0CKW00D OF COUGARS TIPS REDSKIN STAR Young university's inexperienced inexperienc-ed tennis team, having acquired some valuable seasoning in losing, 5- 2 to University of Utah here Tuesday, tfcxiay prepared for their trek to Logan Friday to meet Utah State Aggies. The Cougar's chances against the Aggies appear to be, at least 50-50. In fact many observers pick the Sons of Brigham to down the Logan crew, following their good showing against the "loaded" "load-ed" University of Utah outfit which probably will not drop a match in defense of its state title. Results of the Cougar-Utah match: Singles No. 1,. Linn Rockwood, B.Y.U., defeated Richard Rich-ard Warner, Utah, 6-2, 6-4; No. 2, Captain Jack Greenhalgh, Utah, defeated Bud Eggertsen, BjY.U. 6- 3, 6-1: No. 3, Allen Hardy, Utan, defeated Francis Itaya, B.Y.U., 0-6, 6-4, 6-1; No. 4, Mac Pyke, Utah, defeated John Sonnenberg, B.Y.U., 6-0, 6-1.

Rockwcod proved the star of the day by defeating Utah's ace, Warner, in impressive fashion, and playing a terrific game in the No. 1 doubles before he and Itaya, the Japanese fresh player bowed to Warner and Hardy of the Utes. Rockwood covered the court with amazing speed as he domi-naJjed domi-naJjed the match with Warner from start to finish. He broke Warner's first service, repeated the feat in the fifth game, and then won his own third straight service for a 5-1 lead in tjhe first set. Warner staved" off two set points and won the next game, but Rock served a love game to clinch the set. The players traded love games to start the second set. Warner broke Rock's service in the sixth game to stay even at 3-all, but 5i thereafter the Cougar ace won two straight leve games and put the matwh on ice. Eggertsen , gave the smooth-ntroking smooth-ntroking Gieenhalgh some tough competition in the first set but faded in the second and the Utah nan Won handily. Itaya stared amazingly strong, winning eight straight games before be-fore Hardy found the range. Hardy fought back from love-40 to win the third game of the second set, .ird thereafter Itaya seemed to fade badly while the Redskin increased in-creased the tempo of his attack r.nd won gcing away. Pyke. sensational Utah freshman, fresh-man, blasted Sonnenberg off the court in the No. 4 singles. With Utah leading, 3-1 after the singles matches, Lyke and Kock clinched the victory by beating beat-ing Eggertsen and Sonnberg in the No .2 doubles. After a slow start the "Y" duo made a gocd match of the second set but weren't were-n't steady enough to beat the Utes. Bill Gay and Tom Taylor won a convincing victory in the No. 3 doubles for one of the Cougars' two triumphs. Their determination win and ability to rally when points were needed proved an important factor in their triumph. The No. 1 doubles lasted until nearly sundown as the teams locked lock-ed in a 20-game second set which the Indians finally captured. The utes had the better balance, but Rockwood was the outstanding man of the quartet.

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 14 (U.R) American spcits organizations i and fans have failed thus far to provide adequate athletic equipment equip-ment for army camps in the United States. ' This needless failure will continue con-tinue throughout the war unless intelligent steps are taken soon to remedy tiie situation. Some of the larger camps and air bases near big cities have been supplied, but at most of the others ' there is a crying need for sports ! paraphernalia. This need becomes j more acute with the induction of I 18-year-olds and up. Many of ! these youngsters never have been thrcngh the International league. ;rK V ' X'" r PHILADELPHIA The Philadelphia Phila-delphia Athletics resume competition competi-tion agairst National league opposition op-position otday after a rocky road Braves at Shibe Park.

Free Audiomctric Readings Without Cost or Obligation - 1119 Boston Building - - v Salt Lake City, Utah We will not pause here to argue thfc caseof competitive athletics basotalt; focfcball, basketball, boxing,, etc. as an aid in preparing prepar-ing men for combat. That issue is widely disputed. But we never have heard anyone question the psychological value of sports as a recreational aid to camp morale. In this connection, athletics provide pro-vide entertainment for the boys in their spre time gives them a wholesome interest relieves their boredom banishes homesickness. The navy generally provides its men with athletic equipment. The army does too for units that are going overseas. But the army gen-erall gen-erall does not provide . such equipment for camps in the United States. Equipment for army posts in this country must be obtained from cutside sources. What are thes sources? The two "official" sources are the major league baseball equipment fund and the recently organized boxing equipment fund. Each of these organizations aims to provide pro-vide $100,000 wcrth of equipment a year. These funds doubtless will do much good. But as far as providing provid-ing for the, equipment needs cf army camps throughout the country, coun-try, they will be .mere drops - in the bucket. Moreover, their very existence gives the sports-minded public the false impression that 'the boys are .taken care of," which is not the case. . It would be a GOdsend to our army camps if outstanding sportsmen sports-men jn communities near those camps would organize equipment committees, investigate the athletic ath-letic needs of the boys and then set about 'obtaining equipment by raising community funds or seeking seek-ing -used paraphernalia from nearby near-by high schools, colleges or sports Organizations; This would take a burden from the harried officers, particularly those in isolated camps of icers who do nob know when to seek such equipment. Sportsmen in Nebraska, for example ex-ample could start the ball rolling right now by communicating with the' special service officer, , army air base, 1 McCook. Neb.

PAUL, Minn., April 14 (IIP) Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota urged President Roosevelt Roose-velt last night to reconsider plans to exclude the press from the forthcoming United Nations food and refugee conferences at Hot Springs, Va., and Bermuda. In a telegram to the president, Stassen cited the views of Thorn as Jefferson to support his belief that a free press with access -tin the news is essential to a "strong, alert, progressive democracy.?' "As Jefferson so clearly stated in urging freedom of the .press,", Stassen s telegram said, "the fewH cases wherein these things may do evil cannot be weighed against the multitude wherein the want of them will do evil." "The free press of our country has cooperated so well in the military mili-tary censorship," Stassen added, "that surely they can be depended upon to use the proper discretion and cooperate in the very important import-ant beginnings of conferences of United Nation joint action." hi) nry 4 ' bring y our . - i Baseball training means palms to Nick Altrock, so famous coach and clown of Washington Senators- brings his own to College Park.
