This is an essential plan that cant be overlooked.

We need boys coming on with stronger legs and stronger bodies, boys much better physically equipped in the mass."

I think it would surprise many millions if they know how many kids of 17, just out of school, carried on so brilliantly this last Ford was season. Tulsas just one of them. They were at Indiana, Ohio State, Pittsburgh all ever our football map tearing into veterans who outweighed them 20 or 30 pounds and holding their own. Passers, runners, kickers, blockers all steaming with spirit. And just eut of high school. These are the kids we must depend on next season for our college football. And well all get our share. It may not be the greatest football season ever known, but it will be full of fire and action and excitement, played by boys on their way to war. Frank Leahy might have mentioned a kid named Kelly on his own Chicago squad, a entry who was one of the best backs of the year. He might have mentioned Glenn Davis of West Point who came to exthe Army with only or Bill Paschal from perience Georgia Tech, the best running back fof the pro year with the New York Giants five minutes freshman experience. There is one weakness in this setup. This is the pressure that is talsure to be put upon entries, all over ent, the the United States. I have already watched the beginning of this operation get its start. As a guess Id say the best school football state in the country is Texas. They are thicker than quail in that state.

Failure to take definite objectives north of Rome were attributed today by a person of considerable prominence in the army to the fact that the units Involved were given their orders through an unidentified radio commentator. The units would not accept the orders until they got the newspapers and saw what the war correspondents thought. All the war correspondents could say was that they had been told by a Mr.'X that a member of the high command in good repute had favored an attack, but not in his official capacity. An Allied Bomber Base. Accord- ing to sources hitherto regarded as reliable, 300 planes left for an attack over the continent tonight. Another 200 planes were to have gone along, but wanted the mission confirmed in writing. Am I in an air attack or not? demanded an American gunner. I think I am. Washington is thinking along the same line. Thats the best I can give you, replied a superior.

Murder Victims Kin How It Looks for Baseball On a recent trip through the South and Southeast, one of the first queries offered was this What will happen to pro baseball in 1944? There was only one answer to this: It all depends on the progress of the war and the size of the casualty list. The coming invasion of Hitlers Europe will supply most of the story. A German collapse would make a terrific difference, more to the lives of our fighters, but also in a minor way to all sport But Germany hasnt collapsed yet. Admitting that all professional sport is a pin point in importance against the needs of war, only a German collapse at the rim of spring would help baseball.
