WELCOME HINKLE

I'VE will welcome Hinkle and
hope that he goes through. to
make q fine officer" said Lieu
tenant Colonel Devers.
In the broader sense, Hinkle was
just q name. He Symbolized the
type of men Army sought to lead
Uncle Sans troops in the future.
It was long the contention Of
West Point men that Army sought
the highest type of men to make
officer in the Army. If those men
happened to be good football play
ers, that was not held against
them.
When our men were on the
tape in France" a high ranking
officer once told the writer, mo
one asked If they had played three
years at Yale or Army. They
weren't asked If they had gone to
night school. They were asked to
whip the enemy, and the records
show that they made good"
Army'S adoption Of the three
year rule was made without preci-
pitation and without pressure
from any outside source, it was
officially stated at West Point.
ON HIGH PLANE
Colonel Devers stated that the
new code was worked out with the
sole idea of putting Army ath-
letics on the highest possible
plane. The move was consistent,
it was stressed, with steps already
taken, and was consistent with
accepted standards in college
sports.
It was stated that the Western
Conference was not informed Of
Army's contemplated action when
it lifted the ban against compet-
ing against Army teams. Yale
and Harvard, perennial rivals Of
Army, made no complaint against
West Points eligibility rules. The
probabilities are that students en-
tering West Point from junior
colleges and teachers colleges will
not come under the ban, although
this has not yet been officially
decided.
COURT TEAM FIRST
The first Army team to feel the
force of the new rule will be the
basketball five, which probably
will lose several members. The
records of the several members Of
the squad are being checked at
West Point.
Bill Guckeyson, former Mary
land ace, who now is a plebe at
West Point, will be banned from
further competition at West Point,
and so viii Jack Dobson, son Of
University of Maryland's great
coach. Dobson was a three letter
man at University Of Richmond,
and Guckeyson was an all-around
star at Maryland.

and Carole Lombard.
One Of the few pleasant things

Powell as q former Wall Street
broker who goes broke and takes
UP his abode on the city dump.
Carole, whose pap still has his
millions, runs into him on a mid
night spree and hires him as her

Powell manages to save papa's

for the best.
