me. I want 10 make the last
point q strong one because to-
day I put Councilman on the
spot.
/ asked him how the war
would affect pro football.
He didn't spar or evade the
issue. He made three major
points which are worth passing
along. He said he doesn't be-
lieve the army draft will dimin-
ish the number Of available
players for at least year, that
pro teams may get competition
from army and navy service
squads and that the game itself
has definitely major response
bility.
The tip-off on all sports may
be taken from the president =
letter TO Judge Lands in regard
to baseball. he said.
There IL no drastic eUrtsiI-
ment In prospect becso-s Mr..
Roosevelt ls convinced the ma
ton needs occasional relief from
nerve strsin--s relief that pro
football can provide A. well as
baseball.
Here are amplificstions Of
Conzelmsn's three major points.
1. L don't think that Ne viii

boys unacceptable IN the army
