Boon 10 Sports Seen
In Large Programs
Planned by Army
Ferris Of A. A. u. Sure
All Other Athletics
Will Run os Usual

By the Associated Press.
DENVER. Dec. 4-National con-
scription will mean more athletes
in the Nations sport arenas as well
as more soldiers for Uncle Sam.
Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer
of the Amateur Athletic Union, de-
clared today.
There isn't doubt in my mind
the short, white-haired New Yorker
said in an interview. that if the
Army goes through with large sports
programs as planned any number of
good athletes will be turned up who
might never have a chance at real
competition otherwise"
Sees No Curtailment.
Ferris foresees no curtailment of
athletics in this country in the COM
ing year, regardless of the war in
Europe.
Even If we become involved, I
believe college athletics would con-
tinue so long as there were suffi-
cient athletes to make DIP the
teams" he said
Many colleges dropped their ath-
letic programs when this country
entered the last war, and later they
regretted it."
Ferris and President Laurence di
Benedetto of New Orleans came
bere Yesterday for the 52d annual
A. A. U. convention, opening Fri
day.
Luisetti Seeks Reinstatement.
The veteran secretary disclosed
that Angelo Hank Luisetti, for
mer Stanford basket ball star and
now a San Francisco oil company
employee, has asked for reinstate-
ment in the A. A. U. He was dropped
for appearing in a motion picture
based on his cage prowess.
while we have no exact paral-
lei cases with this" Ferris said, Il
can think of no instance where a
disbarred athlete has been REIN
stated"
Although the new pan-Ameri-
can games patterned after the
Olympics) have been awarded to
Buenos Aires for their 1912 in
augural, Ferris said there would be
considerable discussion as to wheth-
er the pan American group or
the American Olympic Committee
should supervise the contests.

The Maroons are coached by
Allyn McKeen Tennessee '28D who
took over two years ago. He found
chaotic situation and a democrat
ozed squad but gave his men cohe-
sion and morale and headed Missis-
sippi State back on the upgrade.
Mr.. Keen Wins Quick Success.
He installed version of the Ten
nessee system and at the end of last
season was taking bows for one of
the ablest coaching jobs of the year.
He did even better this time with
only one tie on the whole schedule
and the Maroons in two short years
again have risen to the spot they
held in the middle '30s when they
won smashing victories over Army
and Alabama.
Star of the team is Handsome
Harvey" Johnson, a 183-pound
triple-threat back who rates with
the best. State presents an out
standing line that held four teams
scoreless and permitted only one op-
ponent to score more than one
touchdown. Capt. Hunter Corhern
is tip-top guard. as is John Trip
son. Buddy Elrod, end, is declared
by Coach McKeen to be one of the
best in the country.

Wilson Likely Regular
For Brewers After
Fine Play as Sub

Whitley Wilson, blond standout
in a bunch of brunettes, probably
will be given a starting position at
forward by Coach Mack Posnack
when he sends the Washington
Brewers into their next home game
against the Philadelphia Sphas,
American League champions. on
Sunday night at Riverside Stadium.
Wilson. former Pittsburgh U. star,
has been a substitute so far with
the Brewers, but in two games this
season he has elated Posnack with
his offensive work. He was the
shining light in a losing cause
when the Brewers opened their
campaign against the Jewels last
week and last Sunday when they
downed Baltimore's Clippers in the
first pro game at Riverside he came
into the game late in the final period
and spanked the drive toward Wash
ington's 1-point victory
Another reserve player praised
by Coach Posnak was Ben Goldfad-
den, former George Washington
player, whose four vital points saved
the Baltimore game for the Brewers.

 Correspondent: Mrs. Frank McGrath = Telephone 4-659O

Up to the present time, there has been no definite date set for the completing of the work now un- der way in the Community House. Therefore the fall activities are more or less curtailed and various organi- zations in this section cannot make any definite plans. The Community Club were in hopes of having a Halloween party. but there seems to be so much work unfinished that it was question whether or not they could use the hall by the end of the month, and a committee was appointed to get in touch with Supt of Parks James J. Curtin, to have some action taken with the WPA.
 A special meeting of the Rubbish Removal committee at the home of Chairman John J. Dzick took place last evening, it was agreed that representatives from each club should attend the meeting of the Board of Alderman, next Monday night, October 7th, to hear the re- port of the special committee ap- pointed by the mayor who have visited the various cities now hav- ing this system in force. We hope that their action on this ordinance will be favorable.
 Friday being the first Friday of the month, masses at St. Francis Church will be at 6:30, 6:30 and 7:30 a. m. Confessions will be held Thursday afternoon and evening.
