Hopes that the Arny's two all
star football teams might meet in
a grand finale to their brief sea-
sons were dashed today when the
Secretary of War announced that
both teams will be disbanded next
week and all players ordered back
to their respective units. He added
that the idea of such a game never
had been entertained seriously.
The Western team, under Maj.
Wallace Wade, will conclude it's
schedule against the New York
Giants Saturday at Syracuse. while
the Eastern eleven, under Col. Bob
Neyland, will wind up against the
Chicago Bears Sunday at Boston
Although figures are not avail

are known to be substantial. The

6y til6 ASSOCidteO Press,
The Syracuse Chiefs and Jersey
City Giants, who played off for
third and fourth places in the Inter-
national Leagues lineup last week,
will do it all over again in the final
series of the Governors Cup play
offs.
Syracuse, the winner in that tie
breaking tussle after they had fin
ished the regular season. deadlocked
for third place, eliminated the sec
ond place Montreal Royals last
night when Ewell Blackwell pitched
the Chiefs to 4-hit, 7-to-2 triumph
in the fifth game of the series
Jersey City made the grade a day
earlier. putting out the pennant-
winning Newark Bears, four games
to two.
The final best-of seven series for
the Governors Cup and the big pot
of playof money will open tomor-
row at Jersey City. Two games will
be played there and the next three
at Syracuse Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Viewing the pitching records of
the finalists, it isn't too surprising
to see them in the last round in
stead of the heavier hitting Newark
and Montreal clubs.
Their regular-season scraps indi-
cate another hot tussle for the cup
Fourteen of their % meetings ended
in shutouts, eight of which were
turned in by Syracuse pitchers. In
all, the Chiefs earned % shutout
victories during the long campaign
and another-a one-hitter by Red
Barrett-in their third-place playoff
with the Little Giants.
Jersey City won 10 shutout games

the policeman as well as several
other interested parties want Reilly
to forget about this imaginative
murder and get In shape to pitch
the game that will beat the Giants.
Reilly keeps insisting that he is
guilty, until the policeman con-
vinces him that unless he disavows
any murder and goes out there and
pitches a game that will beat the
Giants that IS, 500 kids in the Brook
lyn bleachers will start holding their

That convinces Reilly and he goes
out to beat the Giants and save
$500 Brooklyn kids from holding
their breath.
The life Of Reilly" Is far from
being an immortal work of the
atrical literature, but it does have
many laughs. And it is as avid

lyn Dodgers and the fans who follow
them with such answering fervor
as Three Men on a Horse" was a
perfect profile of the wacky crowd
who take horse racing seriously.
Peter Hobbs, the son of an Army
doctor, is excellent as Reilly and
this is his first leading role on
Broadway. And, even If the play is
a hit, that role may not last long
for him as he is doing medical re-
search for the United States Navy
in his spare hours and likely will be
called into full-time service at any

West Point. He didn't want Just

found their characters and most of
the dialogue made to order in the
Government records. Some of the
most exciting scenes in the picture
were taken almost word for word
from the Record covering the first
10 years of the 10Th century.
West Point originally was estab-
lished after the Revolutionary War
as an artillery school, but it had
always been project close to
George Washington's heart. He
envisaged in it the essence of what
1t Is today-the United States Mill
tary Academy, training young
Americans to serve as the nucleus
of great citizen army during
crisis.
At the turn of the 18th century,
West Point. had fallen on bad days. .. .
1t had become the pensioning place
for friends of politicians. The story
opens with a congressional debate
One legislator argues that the re-
establishment of West Point would
be an invitation to our neighbors to
attack. d.. Another insists that the
destinies of the United States lies
between the Alleghenies and the
Atlantic. One of the high lights of
the debate concerns cost Of $25 900
for the Army's annual grog ration
since discontinued COincidentally,
this was the exact amount asked for
the re-establishment of the acade-
my
(Which shall 1t be, gentlemen"

The casting of George Mont
gomery as the leading gentleman"
should establish him definitely as a

Montana cowboy, he has made
nearly a dozen pictures on the Fox

him. George plays q young Ken
