FIRE PREVENTION AND
DEFENCE.

To-day. all important American
industry is cooperating in an ef-
fort to expedite the defense pro-
gram. And the service industries
no less than the manufacturing
industries. are doing their part. A
particularly salient example of
this is providede by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, re-
preventative organization of the
country's principal stock fire
companies.
In 1917, tine National Board
conducted a nationwide conser-
vation campaign for the reduc-
ton of fire loss in American in
dustry. Grain, cotton. and other
vital commodities were safe
guarded from destruction. Plans
were developed for the swift and
efficient installation of fire fight
ing facilities for army canto-
ments. the Navy Department. the
Emergency Fleet Corporation
and other departmental fire pre-
vention bureau was established
by the Board in the War Depart
ment at Washington, which in.
spected all buildings turned to
military use, and submitted re.
concentrations for lessening ha'
yards. On top Of that, wide.
spread campaign to instruct the
public in fire prevention was car,
ricd on. ~>''... ....'

again offered its services to th'
government. 1t will provide tn,

Doctor Hutchins of University
Of Chicago Believed in 10
Cent Team-but 1t Played in
Million-Dollar League.
CNANA-wNU Service)

LOS ANGELES.-It is a difficult
assignment to get into a winning
football argument with Alonzo A.
Stagg, of Yale, Chicago and the Col
lege of the Pacific.
Lonnie Stage made Walter Camps
first All-America team in 1889, Just
so years ago. He started coaching
Chicago university in 1892, which
happens to be some AZ years ago.
He led the parade in Big Ten cham
pionships. They retired him at Chi
cago when he was 20, and still in
his prime. He has proved that by
his record at the College of the Pa
cific where, at n, he is still one Of
the most active coaches and one Of
the best in the game.
Lonnie Stage still thinks that foot
ball at Chicago could have been
saved. That the game should still
have been carried on.
I don't believe so-under a Big
Ten tent. / don't believe so-in a
major league background.
President Hutchins of Chicago had
first set a high scholarship stand

A Case of Doubt.

1t may be that DR.. Hutchins of
Chicago is right. But in many ways
l doubt it.
For this reason. Football squads
are usually 40 or so strong out of
5000 or 10000 students. They be-
long to magnificent minority. What
are they doing for the SO per cent?
Are they any better students, any
smarter-are they learning more
than the football players? doubt
this also.
To read all that is written you'd
think that football dominated every
university in the country.
1t does on TIE sporting page. But
again l ask-what about the remain
ing SO or SO per cent who don't play
football? These don't have any bet
ter classroom averages than most
of the football players have to show.
They are not learning any more in
college.
If football squad of As men can
dominate an institution that runs
from 5000 to $4,000 students-what
can you think of that college or uni
versity as training school for the
younger brain?
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-01-26
Chicago's Case.

1t was certainly a sporting crime
this last season to throw the Chi
cago team against the list of oppo-
nents the Maroon squad had to face
Ohio State, Michigan, even Har-
ward.
DR.. Hutchins said once-maybe
twice-that he believed in a l0-cent
football team. o. K.-so far. But
don't let them try to play in a mil
lion-dollar league.
/ happen to know that the vast
majority of college football players
on the better-known teams today
are rather well taken care of. Most
of them have scholarships. Most Of
them have good jobs provided or
they move into financial arrange
ments that carry them along. Part
of this may be summer jobs from
leading alumni who give the ath-
lete enough to go through college.
Or they may be allotted 10 or 20
tickets per game which they can
sell for substantial amounts.
By substantial amounts l mean
from 500 to $3.50 a game, if it hap
pens to be sell-out. I've seen too
many tickets before the last Rose
Bowl game sold for $40 a ticket to
do any guessing along this line.
Chicago had nothing like this to
offer. Chicago had no plan of TAX
ing care of its football players. And
Chicago had no soft courses where
certain young husky athletes could
get by who happened to have no
particular leaning towards Latin,
Greek or higher mathematics. Or
logic, or advanced English.

of bashfulness. A believe-it-or-not
item in this era of ring boastfulness.
He doesn't term every opponent a
'bum," and he doesn't promise to
hatten him in the first round.
He won the middleweight title
from Freddie Steele on July Is, 1888,
lost it to Solly Krieger the latter
part of the year, and then regained
his laurels by stopping Krieger in
the fourth round of a return con-
test in Seattle on June "a, 1899.
When Hostak accomplished this feat
he did something no middleweight
has achieved since Ketchell took
back his crown from Papke in 1908.
Crowd Pleaser
Win or lose, Hostak is a popular
fighter. When he climbs into the
ring his shyness is shed with his
robe. He's in there for one purpose
and that's to tag his opponent as
rapidly as possible. He has as
much raw courage as any fighter
in the ring today. In his l5-round
fight with Krieger in 1888 he fin
ished the last 10 rounds with both
hands broken. still trying for a
knockout.
The New York Boxing commits
sion, which moves in mysterious
ways, has refused to recognize Hos
talks claim to the title. It's blessing
has been bestowed upon Ceferino
Garcia of the Philippines and Los
Angeles. The National Boxing as
ISOLATION recognizes Hostak as the
champion The controversy has
caused widespread dissension. par.
ticularly on the Pacific coast. Most
ring addicts claim that the Seattle
fighter is head and shoulders above
the Philippine brawler.
Eddie Marine is Hostak's manag.
er, and their relationship calls to
mind innumerable magazine fiction
stories. It's the ancient tale of the
manager who discovers an unknown
lad, sees his latent possibilities
trains him carefully for months, then
springs him on an unsuspecting
world. OF course the unknown
fighter goes on to win the worlds
championship. The story wouldn't
be complete without that final touch.
That's the story of Marine and
Hostak. It may be stereotyped.
Undoubtedly it is. But the pair
could serve as blueprint for the
much-used plot. It's just luck that
they haven't been sued for plagiar-
ism by some budding author.

Patient Fighter

Hostak is the kind Of a fighter
who waits patiently for an opening.
He doesn't press matters and takes
plenty Of time to size up an OPP
ponent. When the stage has been
set he blasts over that deadly right
and the referee usually counts up
to ten.

Speaking of Sports
|Hostak Proves
Worthy King Of
Middleweights
By ROBERT McSHANE

CReleased by Western Newspaper UnionD
A S RARE as Russian victories in
4 Finland are boxers who can
stiffen opposition with one punch.
They're the answer to managerial
prayers; the pot of gold at the
rainbow's end and the royal flush
of the cauliflower game.
Down through the years the
search has been constant for good
fighters who could land one-punch
knockouts. There have been some,
but far too few to satisfy hungry
American fight fans who demand
sensational finishes.
That's why Al Hostak, the young
Seattle middleweight, is one of to-
days greatest drawing cards. Not
since the days of Stanley Ketchell
has that division come up with a
slugger of Hostak's type. Ketchell
was a standout in a day when the
middleweight ranks boosted of such
fighters as Billy Papke, Mike Glib
bons, Frank Klaus, Eddie McGoorty

Wears Hard Hat eraL Then
On a Hard Head and thereaft-
er, they en-
gagged in many brisk parties and
sharp ripostes, masters of the foil
rather than the quarterstaff, brisk
and finished swordsmen both. Now
it is the ultra-conservative Mr..
Stanley who replaces Mr.. Hore-
Belisha as war secretary, against
a confused background, requiring
more details for full understanding
at least at this distance.
On October of last year, Mr..
Stanley offered his resignation as
president of the British board of
trade. At the time, it was indicated
that Mr.. Stanley had not found
Prime Minister Chamberlain pros
ecution of the war sufficiently ag-
gressive, but later reports were that
he had revolted against the control
of the government by an inner cab
met of four members. He was per-
suaded to withdraw his resigna-
ton.
His political alliances have
been with the conservative Sec
ton of the army, who vehement
ly opposed the appointment Of
Mr.. Hore-Belisha to the war Of
fee, early in 1887. Some Of the
"appeasement" wing Of the
Chamberlain government were
bitter critics of Mr.. Hore-
Belisha's subsequent army
shakeup, in which he sent many
oldsters back to their club
chairs. 1t is possibly this cir
cumstance which has led to con-
lecture that Mr.. Stanley's ap-
pointment foreshadows . new
rapprochement between ex-
IRENE right elements in Eng
land and Germany, the elimina-
ton of Adolf Hitler and q new
basis for peace.
Mr.. SANKEY'S activities since Mu-
mich haven't indicated that he is out
for appeasement. However, it is
clear that the colonel blimps of the
army don't like Mr.. Hore-Belisha
and do like Mr.. Stanley.
He is the secretive, tight-ipped
son of the genial, laxative seventh
earl of Derby. He gathered some
shining medals in the World war
and was parliamentary unde--secre-
tary in the war office, minister Of
transport, minister of labor and
president of the board of education,
before becoming president of the
British board of trade. AS indicated
above, he is a fencer rather than a
hard-hitter. He is fifty-four years
of age.
