SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 80 -
(P)-- Moulded into distinct units
during ten days of intensive
preparation, the East's All-Star
football squad knocked off prac-
tise at its Santa Clara Univer-

The IL Midwesterners and 10

The Fasteners are regarded
variously as 1917 and 1913 bet
ting choices, much to the dis

marked that it was always thus.

Crosse to Play
Against Yankees
Despite Injury

DETROIT, Dec. 80 - R) -
For six weeks Center Don Gros-
so played in the rough and tum-
BILE National key League
with his left wrist in a cast, and
he's planning to stay in the line
up at New York against the
Rangers tomorrow night even
though his secret is out.
On Nov. IA Crosse sustained
bone separation of an old wrist
injury in collision with Toe
Blake of the Montreal Canad-
lens. Team doctors slapped on q
cast and Crosse stayed right on
the job, the cast hidden under
the heavy glove hockey players
wear. Manager Jack Adams eau
toned teammates to maintain
silence, least league rivals find
out.
But the Detroit hockey public
wasn't let in on the story until
yesterday after the grapevine
had picked it up.
Crosse, 27-year-old veteran of
three major league seasons, was
the central figure this Winter in
a burning m ystery. What's
the matter with Grosso?" Fans
asked repeatedly as the player
who established a club scoring
record of SO points last season
and equalled a Stanley Cup
point-getting mark fell off pitt
fully.
In the Is games since his in
jury, Crosse scored four goals
and five assists for nine points.
His aim probably won't improve
much until his cast is removed
in three weeks.
Crosse comes closest to being
a home state boy of any of the
Red Wings. He's from Sault Ste.
Marie, Ont.

Red RuffinQ
Joins Army
Yonkee's Stor
in Service

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3O-(R
- Big Charley (Red) Ruffing
figures the creed he followed in
l9 years of big league baseball
has served him pretty well, and
he'll just take it along with him
into the u. S. Army.
81 don't know how good a
soldier I'll make" the New York
Yankees star Highlander said
simply as he was indicted yes
terday. "I'll just do the very
best l can. I've always tried to
do that"
Big Red, never a great one to
talk, had little else to say as he
left the induction center under
orders to report to Fort Mac
Arthur next Tuesday for pro-
cessing. He will be assigned to
non-combatant tasks, as Ruffing,
pronounced in perfect physical
shape otherwise, lost four toes
from his left foot in a mining
accident in Nokomis, ILL.,, when
he was only Is.
The Army needles found that
Red, who will be 38 years old in
May, stands six feet two inches
and weighs 234 pounds, even
minus the four toes.
He recalled that loss of the
members may have handicapped
him somewhat in baseball, but
probably was responsible for his
becoming a pitcher. He had con-
sidered himself an outfielder in
his youth, he remembered, but
became a pitcher when he wasn't
regarded as sufficiently agile to
patrol the outer reaches of a ball
park.
Ruffing didn't say he was
through with the diamond, but
gave a strong intimation of it
when, asked how he felt about
his induction, he commented
I'm just about tired of base
ball, anyway"
Red spent Is of his 19 major
league years with the Yanks.
In 1924 he broke in with the
Boston Red Sox, failed to stick,
but returned the next season to
win nine games and lose 10. He
remained with the Bosox until
May 6, 1880, when he was trad
ed to the Yankees for Outfielder
Cedric burst.
It was with the Yankees that
he developed into one of the
games finest righthanders. He
pitched seven World Series tri-
umphs, and his major league
record is 258 victories and ZIG
defeats. Three times - in 1887.
1888 and 1899 he was named to
the All-Star major league team
by the baseball writer's.
In the 1912 series he defeated
the St. Louis Cardinals in the
first game, IA, although forced
to retire in the last inning, and
lost the fifth and deciding con-
test to young Johnny Beazley,
AZ.

WAR SUPPORT

In his address before the
Community Church meeting the
Rev. A. Clayton Powell Of New
York spoke with the frankness
and pulpit freedom which dis
tinguish the services of that lib
eral body. He blazed away
freely at the injuStices of
which colored people are tic
Tins color prejudice and dis
elimination which are notori-
Gus in the armed forces and in
defense industries.
To make America safe for
democracy. the isolation of col
oled people must cease, he said
"Colored workers must be given
an opportunity on the assembly
line, the fighter must be taken
out of the glory hole and put
on deck TO man gun. The
pretense of democracy had in
jured the morale of colored cit
liens; they are not so sold on
this war, the dynamic leader
declared: they are not sold on
it because they remember the
last war. to make the world safe
for democracy. Colored soldiers
came home from that war
broken and Scared, armless and
IegleSs, to find the worst race
riots the country has known. to
find the same old pseudo-dem-
ocracy."
It will be generally agreed
that colored people are mot
sod on this war to the extent
of believing that a victory will
promote democracy at home.
They whole heartedly support
the war effort and volunteer for
services and viii fight with
characteristic bravery to defeat
the country's enemies in order

The Greatness of America
BY Ruth Taylor

What makes America great?
It is not the vastneSS of the
country, nor the fruitfulness OF
its acres. 1t is not the hidden
wealth of its natural resources,
no rthe size and variety of its
manufacturing plants. 1t is
rot its deep harbors, nor its
navigable rivers, nor the great
arteries of its highways.
What makes America great is
its latent power to turn all of
those into production for The
good of all the people from
coast to coast.
The greatness of America de-
ponds upon you and me; upon
each and every one of US,

farm or in the crowded city,
whether we live on a tree shad-
ed street in a quiet town. or

wrote: "A nation is made

but by the men who cultivate
them; not by its mines, but by
the men who work in them:
not by it's railways, but by the
men who build and run them.
