COLLEGE football plans and aims
~ seem to be obscured in a num-
Der of fogs and mists so far as the
public is concerned. But l can
give you one that isn't. This is
Maryland university, where Clark
Shaughnessy, late of Stanford and
the Information, is the man on the
job.
We have known Shaughnessy for
3 brief matter Of "a years, since
he started coaching back around
1915. Outside Of LOnnie Stage, now
with the College Of the Pacific, this
makes Clark either the dean of
present-day coaches, or close to the
mark. And / doubt that football has
known any better all-around coach,
or any coach with . finer influence
ON his football pupils.
The main point is that Shaugh-
messy and Maryland, with the full
support of President Curly Bird,
has set UP a 1912 plan that is well
worth looking at.

Ans,Uering a Complaint

One Of the main complaints
against college football from many
outsiders is this: That football is
largely game in which some Is
or 30 trained athletes perform for
the benefit of some $4,000 to $4,000
spectators. who get no physical
benefit at all
He may not have the best 30 foot
ball players in the country-he
doesn't look for anything like this.
But he'd like to have the best 500
players, a much more important
idea for the general good of all con-
cerned, including the country at
large. And to this football arrange
ment Shaughnessy also has added
AN all-around conditioning program
for the entire student body. which
lis even more important
Shaughnessy's idea is to fiji all
open fields full Of football players,
70 bring them out by the hundreds.

Jewish athlete in that country to
participate in sports with people 9th

Track men include Chuck Fenske

These men are merely a scattered
few of the athletes now serving in
the army. A future column will be
devoted to equally well-known
sportsmen in the navy-men like
Bernie Bierman (now Lieut.. Col.
Bierman) one Of the greatest foot

Football Greats

Besides Standlee, professional foot
ball is represented by such men as
Dave Smuckler of the Philadelphia
Eagles and Ralph Miller Of the
Green Bay Packers. Martin Cha
nez, captain Of the Oregon State
eleven which won the Rose Bowl
championship in 1914, is one of the
intercollegiate stars in the army.
Frank Foley, one Of Harvard's
great backs; Grenny Lansdell, all
American quarterback for Southern
California; and Johnny Mohardt, an
all-time Notre Dame back, are 9TH
ers.
Professional COLTS contributions
include Corp. Ed Oliver, Private
Vic Ghezzi and many others. Among
the golfng amateurs are Bud Ward,
winner Of the National Amateur
crown in 1871, and Walter Hagen
Jr., captain of the NOtre Dame golf
team.
While Louis and Billy Conn are
the most famous members Of the
boxing fraternity in the army, there
are numerous young ring stars as
well. Jackie Wilson, contender for
the welterweight title, is now SOL
der. Private Anthony D'Avanzo,
better known as Babe Donetti, was
Golden Gloves featherweight champ
in 1889. Young Kid Mccoy, Michi-
gan welterweight, is known on army
records as Private Adam Pianga.
Private Anthony Tuffo, Golden
Gloves featherweight champ of 1910,
is another soldier.

teams, and matched together in
games.
But this is only q starter. Next
fan ! expect to have at least 500
Maryland students playing football.
And I might say I've been spending
more time on fellows who never
have played the game than on those
kwho have. And it's surprising how
many Of these like the game and
want to play it, once they get the
general idea.
''All together in this country we
should have over 200, 900 young fell
lows playing football this fall. even
though most Of them will never
make any first or second team"
A FeaV Arguments
In the course of an evenings con-
versation it is only natural that a
few arguments should develop. One
was the matter of the greatest full
back and the greatest running half
back.
Clark's selections were Norman
Standlee of Stanford and the Chi
cago Bears for the fullback job, with
George McAfee of Duke and the
Bears on the running side.
Our two nominations were Bronko
Nagursd at fullback with Cliff Bat
ties as the top ball carrier.
=. The Maryland mentor was willing
10 admit that Nagurski was the best
all-around football player he ever
saw. But he refused to concede the
point that any line-battering back
could wreck an entire defense the
way Standlee could. McAfee was a
great ball-carrying back. but I'll
string along with Battles.
About the TT
Coach Shaughnessy offered three
solid reasons in support of footballs
T-formation.
Fist, ne said, ut Is the type
Of game the players all want, since
1t depends more on speed and
smartness than mere crushing bulk
and power.
Second, it is the type of play that
appeals to the public since it is
much more In the open
Third, it is the best type of play
with which to win games. 1t is the
most effective winning formation
football has ever known. It is al
most an unlimited threat against
any form of defense. You will find
the T-formation used more and
more, wherever the material is in
any way adapted"

eastern communicates reported
sweeping allied air action over the
Mediterranean today, including an
attack on a German glider train IN
the Crete area.
Royal Air Force fighters spotted
a train of 80 Junkers, 50 transport
planes with gliders in tow, north
east of Gavdos island, off Crete.
The Junkers had fighter escort.
Nevertheless, the RAF planes dove
into the big Nazi troop formation
and shot down one Junkers and
damaged others.

The glider train attack topped a
day of action which included the
beating off of virtually all AXIS at

bombardment of Malta.
Axis planes attempted nine at
tacks on Malta during the day.
The final attack was made at dusk
by unescorted bombers, only three
of which managed to cross the

ARMCHAIR STRATEGISTS
SCORE A VICTORY

Not long ago President Roosevelt turn
ed the full power of his oratorical scorn
against the armchair strategists' who
criticize military and naval plans and
activities
Monday the governments Office of War
Information issued a long-aWalted re-
port on the performance OF American
military airplanes, and what owl SAID
must not have pleased the President.
The armchair strategists" had been
saying the same thing for half dozen
years.
1t was, in effect, that the army and
navy went into this war woefully unpre-
pared for aerial warfare. The report
said that the fighting planes we are us
ing today are of designs laid down five
years ago. 1t added that the the United
Nations, with their great dependence on
American airplane production, cannot
hope to gain complete mastery OF the
air on all levels during this war; largely
because of the types OF planes we are
producing.
Of course, all that is water over the
bridge now. With the wars crisis at
hand, we've got to produce what we've
got with the greatest speed we can COM
mand, and continue to turn out the
worlds best fl.ers to make favorable
showing with our planes. Some of our
planes are equal to any in the world, ana
we've got to build strategy around their
performance, rather than planning STRAIT
egy and then building planes to tit It,
But one lesson we should learn, and
never forget.
1t is a lesson inherent in the court mar
tial of Gen. Billy Mitchell, for express
ing his views too forcefully Mitchell
said 20 years ago that airplanes could
sink battleships. On Dec. of last year,
most of our admirals still did not believe
him. Many of them, in fact, scoffed open
ly at what they called exaggerated beliefs
in the prowess of air power
Today many of them are soothing at
claims that great cargo planes can re-
place surface shipping to carry supplies
to distant battlefronts. They are soothing
at suggestions for the building OF great,
long-range bombers to take off from
Alaska and blast Tokyo with heavy bomb
loads
They are admitting the facts which
have been SO forcefully proved that they
cannot help recognizing the proof, but
they are still obstructionists in refusing
to admit that further developments are
possible.
They're still trying to fit new weapon
into an old method of warfare, rather
than building a new kind of warfare
around new weapon-the worlds most
deadly.
Maybe the armchair strategists had
better not keep still, after all.

REAL FLYING
Riverside Press

Prof Henry NJ. Busch of Cleveland, a
scholar with scientific imagination, fore
sees transportation developments after
the war that make slower-mnded citizens
sit up and take notice. If he is right, Ten
nySon's famous vision of the world and
all the wonder that would be- is destin
ed soon to be outdone by this generation.
Practical aviation, he thinks, has barely
started.
When the fighting stops and men can
turn their energies to peaceful develop
ments, he expects to ride in "autogyros
and helicopters that will rise vertically
and enable people to fly swiftly to and
from their work" over distances now
impractical Cities will thin out, and
people will live in suburbs so to 100 miles
away. Present-day shipping will be far
too slow and heavy for the times, and
will be replaced by planes 1t would take
$500 cargo airships of the Mars or Lam
caster type now being made, he says, to
replace the entire merchant marine fleet
existing today.
Such planes at the end of the war, he
adds, will be sold by the government
under the hammer" and aviation will
then have a chance to go places. There
will be no big airplanes rotting in air
fields or harbors as surface ships did
after the last war. Foreign travel will
be not only far easier and faster, but far
cheaper
1t all sounds good to this generation.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20-(U.P9-
Usually reliable sources reported
today that Adolf Hitler's recent
purge of generals hit at least six
of the most prominent, including
his closest military adviser, Gen.
Alfred Jodl.
Others said to have been dis
missed or forced to resign includ-
ed Field Marshal Fedor von Book,
commander of the armies on the
Stalingrad and Cascusus fronts;
Gen. Franz Halder, chief 'of staff
of the high command, and Field
Marshal Wilhelm List, who only
recently\ had been mentioned as
Won Bcck's successor.
The names of the other two gen.
erals were not known here.
Confirmation of JodlS dismissal
would be sensational since he has
served as the chief CT Hitler's per-

Admiral Ernest j. King, command

Fleet and chief of naval operations,
said last night that this country
was fighting a tWo-ocean war with
a one-ocean navy, and we've got
to hold on until we gain some

resentment you're reading in your

headlines. Read the text"
He said the Japanese had the
advantage because they have been
making war and have intended to
dc so for long time. Admiral

NOT NOW, gentlemen

Under the guise of war emergency,
New Deal senators are trying to Wagner
ize farm labor They say they want to
enable the farmer to compete against
the higher paying war industries to keep
his labor.
The farmer is not going to be taken in.
He sees in the bill no provision guaran-
teeing him enough income to pay the high
wages which Wagnerized farm labor
would demand, and which the National
Labor Relations Board would undoubted-
ly grant without thought for the farm
er's ability to pay.
The bill, called the National Farm La
Dor Relations Act, is nothing in the world
but an attempt to spread the worst of all
New Deal social experiments across
far broader front. The act, applied to
industry, is principal cause of the pres
ent industrial labor crisis. for no one who
is unwilling to join a labor union can
join war work these days, in spite Of the
great need.
We don't want anything like that for
the farms.
