Detroit Coach Proves
Jack-of-A||.Trades
Good Every Way
Dean Of Major Football
Mentors, Dorois Shines
In Politics, Orotory
By the Associated Press


DETROIT, Oct. 27.-Gus Dorais
is the living refutation of not only
the notion that football and politics
don't mix, but also that a jack-of-
all-trades is master of none.
Gray-topped, 51-year-old Dorais,
an old teammate and buddy of the
late Knute Rockne, is, among other
things, an athletic director a law
yer, a city councilman in the Ma
tion's fourth largest municipality,
much-sought-after public speaker
and a football coach. Maybe his
coaching should be mentioned first,
for currently his University of De-
troit eleven is the undefeated and
united winner of four games.
Dean of Major Coaches.
At Detroit Dorais has been on
the job 18 years. Now that Bob
zuppke is gone, he probably has
the longest continuous service rec
ord at any major football power
in the Nation. To date, Dorais'
Detroit teams have won 1l2 and
lost A, which means that his club
has a 3-to-1 chance very time it
takes the field. His average is
nearly seven victories a season.
This year Detroit has yielded only
one touchdown while rolling to
victories over home town rival,
Wayne University, and Fort Knox,
Manhattan and Georgetown. The
high-scoring Marquette eleven Is
next, and then come Villanova,
| Arkansas, Oklahoma A. and M. and
st. Marys.
Dorais was pioneer forward
passer, his pitches to Rockne having
whipped the Army and astounded
the East some 80 years ago, so it
isn't particularly astonishing to
note that Detroit teams lean heavily
to the pass. Dorais current passing
star is Elmer (Tippy) Madarik, 1885,
pound Joliet CID junior, who is a
hard runner, too.
Shows Son No Favors.
Aside from football, Dorais seems
to find ample time for his other
pursuits. In the City Council his
attendance record is among the best
His many other duties are handled
to complete satisfaction, and this
year in football he has a family
| problem.
Detroit's third-string quarterback
is 21-year-old Tommy Dorais, eldest
of the coach's five children. Tommy
was outstanding in high school foot
ball. His dad shipped him off to
Notre Dame, but the boy came back,
asking to play at Detroit.
When Detroit's players signed q
petition 10 days ago asking that
Tommy be given more, not fewer, op-
portunities, Dorais just shrugged his
shoulders and pointed to the greater
experience of the other quarter
backs. And Tommy hasn't been of
the bench since.

Ration, Not Eliminate
School Sports, Urges
Texas Authority
Head Of Vast Program
Holds Them Essential
To Physical Fitness
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Oct. 27.-Everything else
Is being rationed, why not sports?
R. J. Kidd, athletic director of the
Texas Interscholastic League, poses
the question. He thinks it would
at least save the schoolboy sports
program-something he considers a
major contribution to the war effort.
Kidd is qualified to speak. He
administers a high school sports
organization that probably is the
largest in the world-more than 800
schools with more than 10000 boys
playing football alone.
Instead of forcing the high
schools to quit their interschool
contests, the rationing board could
allow them to play so many games
away from home during the season, /"
he suggests.
This would permit the general
program to be carried on, although
limiting the number of games and
thus conserving transportation IA
cilities.
Onder the present plan they are
not giving the high school boys the
advantage of even rationing.
LAS important as interschool con-
tests are to physical condition, in
my opinion the time has come that
some concessions must be made to
the agencies that are producing the
manpower"
With lowering of the draft age to
18 more attention will be devoted
to physical conditioning of high
school boys, Kidd added.
'The national leaders will get
down to the realization that our
great reserve now is enrolled in the
high schools. They have found that
the older men are not fit for the
stress and strain of war.
There is possibility that many
of the boys will be on the front
within year after they reach their
18th birthdays. In my opinion, this
Is a challenge to the school and to
the physical education teachers and
coaches of our high schools"

Pimlico Special
BY DONALD SANDERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer

BALTIMORE. Oct. 27.-After
nearly three years OF racing in
which he has won most of the coun-
try's top purses, Whirlaway is go
ing to win another in a. walk-liter-
ally.
The Calumet Farms top money
winner of all time became the lone
starter in tomorrow's sixth running
of the Pimlico Special when Alsab
was withheld from the Special to
point for the $4,000 Westchester
Handicap at Empire City
Technically, eight other horses
were eligible for the weight for age,
winner-take-all purse, but none was
on the grounds, and track officials
said they had not received a single
reply to the invitations sent each of
the owners.
War Relief Day Postponed.
President Henry A. Parr III of the
Maryland Jockey Club announced
that Pimlico would hold Army
Emergency Relief Day on Saturday
instead of tomorrow.
With only walkover for Whirl-
away" Parr said in a statement,
the attraction (speciaD would be
considerably dulled from the fund.-
raising standpoint -" we hope that
the Futurity will reward the Army
Emergency Relief Fun in equal or
greater measure - -
The deadline for entries to the
special expired at 1890 am. today.
Whirly's trainer, Ben Jones. indi-
Gated the Calumet comet would
simulate race, although he could
walk backward for the mile and
three-sixteenths and still collect the
purse.
But whether he runs or walks,
he'll collect purse larger than any
previously recorded as having been
won in a walkover.
Purse Mark Set in 1871.
Oddly enough, the previous largest
also was at Pimlico, when on Octo-
Der "a. 1871, Harry Bassett circled
the oval to win the $500 Reunion
Stakes.
On that same afternoon, a horse
named Preakness won the Pimlico
Stakes, walking over in the two re-
quired heats to win $1,650. One OF
Americas most famous races, won
10 years later by Whirlaway, subse-
quently was named after Preakness.

However, AL Vandeweghe, 175-

encounter, is expected to be ready.
Not in Shape to Play.
Furman, with only 10 players
available, finally has decided to go
ahead with its game Saturday with
Miami, at Miami, Fla. Coach Paul
Mcleod said he had informed
Miami's mentor, Jack Harden, that
we're physically unable to play
but that Miami wanted the game

Art Roach, backfleld star, were the
question marks on Davidson's squad
as the Wildcats prepared for Sat-

against Davidson than they did

Every factory and facility of General
Motors is now engaged in the industrial
war effort.
More than 100000 men and women
the largest number the corporation has
ever employed-are enrolled in the work,
and the average work hours of these midi
vidual war producers have been stepped
up from 40 hours a week in 1941 to 46
hours this year.

on its production output in terms of
dollar value only: the quantities Of guns,
tanks, planes and so on that have been
and are being delivered for the army, the
navy, the marine corps and our allies are
necessarily military secrets.
However, the tempo of increase can be
surveyed in dollars.
During the first quarter Of 1912
General Motors total production was
$751;, 100000.
In the third quarter the total was more
than doubled, amounting to an estimated
$575,OO0,0O0.

quarter has been concluded and the actual
output can be announced, it will be truly

TNORDER that we might overthrow our
j enemies, President Roosevelt, when we
entered the war, called for a stupendous
ornaments program, in which these were
major items:
Sixty thousand airplanes In 1912 and
$4,000 in 1913, including 100000 combat
planes.
Forty-five thousand tanks in 1912 and
$4,000 in 1913.
Twenty thousand anti-aircraft guns in
1912 and $4,000 in 1913.
Eight million lightweight tons of
merchant shipping In 1912 and 100000
tons In 1913.
Since then every heavy industry and
most of the lighter industries have been
converted almost entirely from the pro-
duction Of peace goods to the production
Of war goods.
These industries have responded
promptly and periodically as the govern
ment drafted them into the national
service.
And now, as this first war year goes
into it's final quarter, the time is appro-
pirate for considering how well the in
dustries are executing their utterly
unprecedented assignment.
NNE Of the finest reports made on this
~ aspect Of the war effort is that of
the General Motors Corporation in an
advertisement published in this news
paper as Good News From the Production
Front"
The advertisement reveals that in
three-fourths of year General Motors
has delivered guns, tanks, airplanes, air
plane engines, Diesel engines, shells, and
hundreds of other items for our armed
forces TO A TOTAL VALUE OF MORE
THAN A BILLION DOLLARS"
Further, the report shows
Through the application Of manage
ment experience, engineering knowledge
and mass-production 'know-how'
