DON'T LAUGH AT THEM

Unfortunately We who should
understand the psychology and
problems of the teen-age kids OF
today-the boys and girls just
beneath the 1S-up draft classical
tion-laugh them off as clownish
bystanders in this vast and very
serious war.
That's a major mistake. The
millions of lower teen-age kids
who are coming up will be the
America Of the next couple OF dec
AIDES. And when we win this war
sooner or later-those kids must
come up clean and wholesome 10
carry on the American tradition.
Therefore. il is a MUST that
youthful energies be expended IN
a wholesome fashion that will
build their bodies and make minds
more alert.
Because there is a war. we can
not let down our athletic stand
ards. The experience of years in
this and other countries teaches
that there is only one safe outlet
for the energies OF youth
athletics.
That's why we hope that the
men at the top will permit major
league baseball. college football
and big-tine boxing TO survive. Be-
cause the deeds of the big-time
athletes under the spotlight-the
civilian athletes-provide an in
centive for the men in uniform 10
do a better job.

DECIDE TITLES

Every one of these decides the
leadership of a conference or in
wolves one of the four major I'M
defeated and united teams.
The Irish are favorites at any
odds you can get. That's not en-
couraging for Army supporters be-
cause. if the odds are right, there
is little hope. However, Frank
Leahy knows that he is sending
his "T" formation opponents
against a good eleven and the re-
suit can be an upset. Despite
Armys loss TO Penn, il is better
team than most of those in the
eastern sector of the football map.
Wisconsin should defend its
leadership in the Big Ten against
Iowa. The big hurdle for the
Badgers will be Minnesota two
weeks from now.
Boston College is In no danger
whatever from Temple.
Missouri and Nebraska. bitter
rivals in the Big Six, will decide
the issue there. No other teams
have any chance, so the winner at
Lincoln should take that cham
pionship.
COULD BE UPSET
Tulsa, undefeated, united and
not scored on. will play its most
important Missouri Valley Con-
ference battle with Oklahoma
A. & M. and should continue to
march to fame.
Georgia meets Florida, not a
tough assignment. Georgia Tech,
tied with Georgia for the South
east Conference lead. will take on
formidable foe in Kentucky.
While there is no reason for
alarm on the part of Tech rooters
with coach Bill Alexander in a
hospital, it could happen that
Tech, rated as one of the best ir
the nation because of a win over
Notre Dame. could lose. However
such a result would be an out.
standing upset.
Texas and Baylor, undefeated ir
their own circuit, will decide the
leadership of the Southwest Con
ference and the game appears Il

We could write a story called

made the most of athletics as an

who were coming up to take their
important places in the ever

A veteran Snowman, perhaps one
OF WaShington's most versatile citi-
zens, turns over in his mind these
days thoughts of the First World
War and the roof-raising enter
tainments he staged for servicemen
then.
1t was fun for him and the SOL
diers in career that has taken him
to most of the major theaters of the
Nation, to parts on programs with
some of the worlds leading stars,
to a recent job in Hollywood with
Walt Disney.
AL B. Griffith--Griffo," the man
of many noises to the theater world
says he thinks often of whether
the servicemen again would like to
hear him give some of his limitations
such as scissors grinder, cat fight,
dog fight, Barnum's steam caliope,
riproaring Fourth of July.
He was giving them back in 1918
on the same program with Nine
Schumann-Heink and other enter
tainers who did their bits for the
men in uniform.
Also Paints, Draws, Dances.
Mr.. Griffith whistles four different
ways and makes 27 distinctive noises
with his mouth. He tap dances and
practices ventriloquism. And, for
pastime, he draws, paints and col
lects stamps, autographs and pro-
grams.
Despite his IT years, he still up
sets crowds in streetcarS and on busy
corners with his vocal antics. Once
he initiated a parrot so naturally
while riding on trolley that the
motorman stopped the car to look
for the bird, and newspaper pub
lished an account of the incident.
Il get by easy" he said. They
look at me and they think I'm just
an old fellow and haven't got it in
me"

didn't have it in him. That was the

Plans 10 Enlarge
AirpIane Courses
Students Working Against
June DeodIine to Supply
Naval Plane Models

Washington's public schools are
becoming more and more air minded
in their contribution to the war
effort.
While students in junior and
fenior high schools are working
against June deadline to provide
$500 modei planes for the Navy,
officials are studying plans to ex-
tend elementary aviation courses in
the senior high schools in line with
suggestions of the United States
Office of Education.
Civilian pilot ground school
courses were made available to
eligible students both at Wilson and
Miner Teachers Colleges last year
as the first contribution of the Dis
trict schools to the defense aviation
demands for pilots.
Previously, vocational. courses in
airplane welding were inaugurated
IN one or two vocational schools with
adequate facilities.
Last winter bill passed Congress
with the support of the Commits
SlOner ana the Board OF Education
authorizing appropriations of SIC 900
for 6 qualified persons to teach ele-
mentary aviation in the senior high
schools. The courses were in
augurated last February and consist
of background work in aeronautics
such as flight theory, map reading,
practise air navigation and the like.
School officials are now working
with the Office of Education with a
view to increasing these courses
from one semester to a full year.
Plans are under consideration also
for an intensive six-week refresher
course in physics, mathematics and
physical education for would-be
aviators who have already had some
training along these lines.
