KJ Are Easily Picked Up " & -- e "tflsf f 1 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. Mar.y a foxhole dream comes true as marines and former marines gather in the congenial and swank atmosphere of the Marine Memorial club, which was established here a year ago as the only living memorial ;to the gallantry of all marines. The lush surroundings of the Memorial club, located in a SOMETHING like 20 years ago, or spot on the calendar. Chick Meehan and N.Y.U. came up with one of the greatest football players the game has ever known. at Sutter and Mason streets in the heart of downtown San Francisco, are a far cry former swank PAGE THREE hotel from the filth and deprivations of foxhole living, which was the lot of many marines. But it was the unappetizing PX rations, the warm beer and the generally stale candy bars munched in foxholes which are responsible for the Marine Memorial club. Profit accruing from these sales went to the post exchange fund, but in reality belongs to the marines who spent it. Usually such money is used to buy recreational equipment that Uncle Sam doesn't furnish. This time, however, marine headquarters in Washington felt that the money should be used in a way that would honor marines who died in combat by serving those who fought and lived. The solution is the Marine Memorial club, where aU members meet on an equal footing; where name, rank and serial number pull no weight; where the famed "esprit de corps" of the service enters into civilian living. San Francisco was selected as the location for the club because so many marinas passed through the Golden Gate on their way to the Pacific, felt at home here and "wanted to return. . The man behind this club is the man who was behind the 21st regiment of the 3rd division in the battle ior Hellzapoppin bridge on Bougainville island Brig. Gen. Evan Orchard Ames (retired). The club is his baby. A fighting man himself, he has helped to make many a foxhole dream a reality by creating a club where marines can take it easy, have the shave and steam bath they once longed for, in an exclusive town club atmosphere. For the men and women of the corps who did return, the club is unique in its exclusiveness, for only marines and civilian marines may belong. Their families, wives, parents (including Gold Star parents) and children over 21 are eligible for guest memberships. Old friends in other services once attached to a marine unit may have an associate membership. Marine identification serves as both dues and initiation iee. In the Skytop room prodding the clouds, in the swimming pool 12 stories below and on all the Boors in between, marines and former marines can relax and enjoy club life. All the fahotel are cilities of a first-rat- e available for a very low tariff. For travelers, there's a choice of 250 rooms fully equipped with all hotel facilities; for those who just want to relax after a hard day at the office or exercise before breakfast, there is the tiled swimming pool with water blue as the Mediterranean and not nearly as cold. Three dining rooms, three cocklounges, a steam room, barber shop, library and writing room, and a ballroom provide all the facilities of a swank hotel. But, although it's a million dollar layout, a man can spend a little instead of a lot. The club is operated on the policy of many spending a little rather than a few spending a lot. tail Dog Completes School With Perfect Record McKEESPORTr PA. Although aged and nearly blind.

It's a ball snaped entirely for the passing game thin and long. Compared to the ball we used to kick 20 years ago, it is like kicking an eel. "The old football was much rounder. It was easy to get your toe into it. It was easier' to punt or to drop kick or place kick. It was far easier to kick off to drive one beyond the goal line. But today you have a target to hit that is about the size of a silver dollar and I'm having a tough time betting a kicking shoe that has the proper kicking shoe space. You need a square-toe- d that can drive into the limited space the modern football has to offer the kicker. "No wonder so many college teams have so much trouble getting anyone who can kick oft or place kick. And no wonder there are so few fine punters left, either in the college or the pro game. Naturally the pros with their greater experience, have more good punters. But I can promise you it's a tough job. But I still hope to get a few over the crossbar or over the goal line on a kickoff. It's a good thing for me that I have all these kicking years to call on." Ball Made to Throw Ken Strong is quite close to being per cent right about the modern football. It was arranged for the passer. It is long, thin easy enough to throw but harder to kick than a hot dog or a pretzel. I've asked at least 20 leading college coaches why they used so many varieties of action on the kickoff such as placing the ball sideways. "We have no one who can kick off," Is the usual answer. I've asked them why they had no first-clapunters. "There's no one who can kick this ball," they tell 100 ss you. Then we began looking back to the old days of football with its great kickers George Brooke of Pennsylvania, Sweeley of Michigan, Herschbcrger of Chicago, Brink Thome and Bull of Yale and one of the greatest Kercheval of Kentucky. "He was the best of all." Shipwreck Kelly tells me, "60 or 70 yards on a dime." Not bad kicking. The old game was parked with fine kickers, and one of these was Spud Chandler of Georgia, long with the N. Y. Yankees as a brilliant 1947 biYLKS FOR D.P. KIDDIES . . .

Next to chopping and feeding green, one of the best ways Jfcv to get full value ' from soft corn is to put immature crops in the silo or pasture them off with cattle, hogs or sheep, Capper's Farmer points out. Another method used by many growers in the last big soft corn year, 1945, was to build emergency cribs five to six feet wide. The farmers set two rows of poles in the ground, wired the tops together to keep the cribs from spreading, and fastened woven wire or slat crib- bing on the inside of the posts. These built in east and west direc- tions, took best advantage of prevailing winds. Farmers in many northern areas, where corn is likely to be caught by frost before it Is mature, regularly cut up large quantities and cure it as fodder. Ears later are husked by hand or with a shredder. Most hybrid corns are stiff stalked and have a good root system. They will stand with few fallen ears well into the winter.

E. doctors, Schenck hails modern medical techniques and the latest drugs but sadly recalls "the good old days." When the venerable old doctor was in his early years of practice here, his use of horses often spared him some physical strain in an almost daily schedule. His team, he recalls, could be trusted to take him home without guidance. "That's one advantage we dochad over the present-da- y tors," he maintains. "The team would just head for home and I could sleep during the ride." Despite the weather, the hour or his advanced age, Dr. Schenck still will answer a call from any of the townsfolk. He has reduced his practice considerably and should cut it down more, but he says it's just habit for him to minister to the medical needs of the people of Burlingame. The habit is so firmly entrenched, in fact, that Dr. Schenck has be come an institution in this small Kansas town. Some of the people he has brought into the world are babies nursing in their mother's arms. Others are more than 60 years old. Dr. Schenck doesn't have any idea how many births he has assisted. "I do know," he says, "that 1 have brought the third generation of some families around here Into the world." A large man with good posture and firm voice. Dr. Schenck is partly bald but has a thick gray mustache. He keeps well posted on all new developments in the medical profession, his medical library being considered one of the largest in the country. Advancements in medical techniques and development of new drugs will be responsible for an rise in the nation's health standards, he believes.

Strong Is the only back I ever saw who could run over one of my best teams, pass, kick, block and tackle. I've never ' seen his equal." It was about that time that Coach Gwinn Henry of Missouri wired me "I've got your this year. Don't bother any more. Just Ken Strong. Forget the others." Recently I ran into Ken Strong again. Ken is now around 40. What's his 'job? Well, one of his jobs is playing for the New York Giants. Ken isn't running, blocking or passing any more.
