from a knee injury, so George
Halas used him only when the
Bears were on the offensive. When
the All-Stars had the ball, out he
went.
He was in and out more than
any other player IN the game but
i believe il was the continuous
substituting of the All-Stars that
slowed il up. 1t lasted an hour
and a half longer than when
played under the limited substitu-
ton rule. and the fans didn't like
il one bit.
didn't like II either, but what
I didn't consider was that the
normal college squad would not be
fortunate enough 20 have half or
even one third the amount OF ma
lteriaf there was on the Ait-Stdr
squad. Most certainly they would
not be as well fortified in every
position as were the Bears.
The average college team is
lucky TO have players that are
strong two deep" whereas the
AH-Stars had as many as five
strong players in every position
That's one big reason why YOU
won't see the rule abused toe
much this Fall.
GETS NEW SLANT
realized that after making the
Transition from player 10 specta'
tor. Writing for the Times anc
Announcing for WJR gives you ar
entirely different slant on the
game than when you're actually
tpfayIng 1T IT.
At the Michigan-Michigan State
game last Saturday, Coaches Fritz
lCriSler and Charles Bachmar
agreed they would only substitute
during a time-out or during 3
period when time was called by
the officials. AS a result, tho
game took no longer than pre-
Iviously.
I think this forethought on the
part of the coaches was a great
break for the spectators. And as
long as the new rule is in the
hands OF coaches who still re.
member the spectator as well as
use it 10 their advantage, it will
he a great rule for COLLECT football
But if the individual coach
DOES substitute so frequently
that the game is nothing but q
series of time-outS. then he'll prob.
ably hear from the fans-and me
too.

Virtually Every Industry

'HoSS-e'SN ANhn oeoNASN'SA"'''
NEW YORK, July 30-Proflts OF
the first $50 companies to report for
the second quarter of 194l were %
per cent greater than in the same
period a year ago. an Associated
Press compilation disclosed today.
Earnings OF the group amounted
to 1918 ,999 900 compared with s303-
100000 in the quarter ended June
80, 1910.
The survey showed that virtually
every important industry enjoyed
/ larger earnings than a year ago
Compared with the increase in in
dustrial activity, however. gains
scored by many industries lacked
impressiveness.
AS measured by the Federal Re-
serve index of industrial production
physical output of goods during the
April period was nearly sc
per cent greater than a year ago
The increase in profits, however
amounted to only % per cent.
Taxes Cut Income.
A stiff rise in Federal income and
excess profits taxes reduced earn
ings of many individual companies
below a year ago. Higher wages
and production costs also absorbed
some of the profits which normally
would have accompanied the record
industrial production OF the quar-
ter
Railroads, railroad equipment
manufacturers and the steel indus
try showed the largest earning
gains. Profits of these industries
were fairly we'll protected from ex-
cess profits taxes by heavy capital
investments.
Twenty-Five railroads reported sec
ond-quarter net income totallng
s31 .933 900, more than double the
S14 ATS 900 earned in the same pc
riod of 1910. This wide gain was
chalked up despite the coal strike
sharply cutting earnings of several
important carriers.
Eight manufacturers Of railroad
equipment earned s5534000 COM
pared with s12s1l 900 a year ago
rise of 81 per cent.
Wage Increases Granted.
Twenty-four steel companies took
recently granted wage increases in
stride, reporting profits of S47446 ,00C
against $30929,OO0 in the June quar-
ter of 1910. During the quarter the
industry operated at the highly
profitable rate of 982 per cent OF
capacity compared with an average
rate of 72.5 per cent in the same
quarter last year.
Only decrease in profits for any
industrial group which was reported
In sufficient number to afford q
comparison was shown by the public
utility industry. Eleven public util-
lty companies. excluding American
Telephone and Telegraph Co, earned
s21 272 900 compared with s22 .352 00C
year ago, decline of 4.8 per cent
/ The decrease reflected steadily rising
operating costs. Profits of some
hydro-electric properties were ad-
versely affected by the severe dry
spell which forced them to purcha Sc
power from other sources to supply
their customers.

such celebrations are even more appropri-
ate than ever BEFORE
We are delighted that an elaborate cele-
bration will be held at the Riverview
school all day tomorrow and we join with
the sponsors of this event in urging that
you attend.
In addition to the patriotic theme, the
celebration tomorrow will also emphasize
the need for vocational agriculture depart
n1ents in the high schools of Ashe county.
AS fertile soil, good farming practices
and happy, prosperous farm life are es-
Sential to the welfare of Ashe county and
the nation and are also vital to the con-
tinuance of the Democratic way of life,
we think it is highly appropriate that this
need should also be stressed during to-
morrow's celebration :'
The county is fortunate in having Hon.
Cameron Morrison, one of the states most
distinguished men, attend the celebration
and deliver an address. On behalf of the
$4,000 people in the county we extend
hearty welcome to Gov Morrison. He is
an outstanding livestock farmer and we
welcome him to North Cardinals foremost
livestock county!
Go to Riverview tomorrow and let's
celebrate!
