Fourth Registration OF
Men from As 10 IS, April
z7,Is Only Count Of Noses
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, April lS-Appar-
emily the Presidents announcement
that men of As TO 65 win be regist-
red April 81 has given rise to
lot of unanswered questions and
ONE misunderstanding, with some
oldsters thinking that registration
will mean immediate draft into the
Army or war industries.
l have talked to national Selec-
i've Service officials and to Con-
gressmen. The Fourth Registra-
ion is a nose-counting registra-
ion and nothing more. 1t could
be done, but NOT as effectively,
by the Census Bureau. The Census
Bureau admittedly misses certain
percentage of the population. II the
Selective Service boards miss a few,
the FBI doesn't-not for long any,
way.
Besides, the Fourth Registration
will make available detailed facts
nd information that could not be
9'1tained any other way Congress
the military forces. and the War
Production Board will then know
exactly where we stand in man
,ower is fitted for. 1t will be the
power, what that power is fitted
Sor. 1t will be the basis of planning
for the future if the war drags on
for years.

TEXAS TWINS
ARE FAvCRITES

CHICAGO. June 18 CUP) - A
field of los golf stars tees off in
the Hale American tournament at
the Ridgemoor country club today
with its eyes on the Texas Twins
Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, who
have been picked as the men to
beat
Their competitive records made
Nelson and Hogan the favorites Tor
the 72-hole medal test, the war
wear successor to the National
Open, but both MAJ be also-rans
in a field which includes nearly
every golf star of recent years
Nelson, a dangerous contender in
every major tournament since he
won his first important title in
the 1889 National open, is rated by
many as the worlds best golfer.
He won the coveted Masters invi-
rational in April in paly-off with
Hogan and the Hale America may
produce 4 repetition of that duel.
Hogan has been golfdom's biggest
money winner and low average
scorer for the past two years He
leads both divisions again this sea-
son and the winning slice of the
$4,000 prize fund would go far to-
ward clinching the honorS for a
third consecutive campaign.

in the service both as physical edu-
cation instructors and in general
duty. Although as yet none of the
valley mentors has entered service
it's no secret that several of them
are angling for spots now.
Other difficulties seem to be in
the way of football. The transporta-
ton problem of getting the teams
from one town to the other for
games IS a problem that valley
schools have temporarily solved any
way by each setting aside single
bus for use of athletic teams and
as long as the tires last on the con-
yeyances, the boys will get around.
The removal of the Japanese
Americans has thrown another prob
lem in the laps of the coaches for
many of the best athletes in valley
schools were taken away. In order
TO fill up the gap they'll have to
scurry around and get more poten-
tial material out for football. Boys
who have devoted themselves en-
tirely TO tennis or basketball will be
called upon TO help fill the ranks.
One school, Holtville, was SO hard
hit by the removal of japanese that
it is doubtful whether they'll have
enough boys to make up team for
next season.
However, amidst all this gloom
there must be some hope. I doubt
if football will be dropped entirely
in the valley although several coast
schools have marked it off the cal
endar for the duration.
But this is early summer and
along about the end OF the hottest
months the coaches will have de-
cided what they're going TO do and
will start getting out their pencils
and scratch pads 10 figure out tricky
plays.
And it1l be football as usual-al-
most.
