Despite war uncertainties confront
ing sports in general, the gridiron
gods are readying the script for one
OF the greatest seasons in football
history.
An important factor in this 1912
campaign is the brand new military
and civilian respect for the grid
game because of it's value in con-
ditioning men for modernized war
fare-the stepped-up tempo OF hand
-to-hand fighting in lightning raids
and the terrific physical strain of
aerial combat.
The annual pigskin parade al
ways has been greeted with nation
wide enthusiasm by the men-and
the women-of America because of
the thrilling contests it provides
ana because of the spectator angles
cheering sections, gay pennants.
alma mater flowers, etc. But, for
years, there has been an undercur-
rent of criticism-a strong minor
ity feeling that college football did
more harm than good, because of
the evils of recruiting and subsidiz-
ing Drawn rather than brain, and
because of the injuries among play
ers and the alleged drinking among
student and alumni spectators.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. up
The United States Department of
Agriculture has asked the Mexican
government to designate the regions
in that country from which farm
laborers can best be spared for work
in the Pacific coast agricultural
belt, it was announced here today.
l.. 1. Hughes, regional director of

Hughes said also negotiations had
been started with the Southern pa

tiations have reached final deci-
sion. The number of Mexicans
Hughes said, will depend upon the

group that has the power to do
something about it."
The report included a survey of
every producing unit to determine

we'll has the course of baseball been
that it is almost indisput-
able that a team beaten in a hard
fought campaign almost never
bounces back to win the following
season.
Two years ago, the Tigers edged
past the Indians and went into the
big money and the Cleveland club
has never recovered. The same thing
happened in 1888 when the Pirates
blew up and three years before when
the Cubs stormed through a 81
game winning streak to nip the

never been a con;ender since and
st. Louis is still trying to come
back.

STRAIN TOO MUCH

Psychologists explain that the
shock of final defeat after months
of strain and effort is too much for
team to withstand. That's what
happened to the Cards last year and
regardless of what has happened in
st. Louis so far during this Cardi-
nal-Dodger series.
The Cardinals trimmed the Dodg-
ers' National league edge to Az
games, scoring their third straight
victory, 81, in 10 innings at Sports
mans Park yesterday.
The Cards staged another garri-
son finish, breaking a l-all tie in
the 10th when Second Baseman jim
my Brown charged from third and
bowled over Catcher Mickey owen
with the winning run.

CONTRIBUTION BIG


When the dust has settled on the
poSt-seaSon classics on Jan. l, it
would not be surprising to learn
that football has contributed be-
tween S4,000,OOO and $5,OOO,OOO to
the service reliefs. Unquestionably
the gates of most classics will go
to these funds.
The college game in general may
suffer in clasS-in precision-in the
nicetieS of execution, because of the
shift of many third and fourth
year men to the services and to
the necessity of depending more
than ever upon sophomores, and in
some cases even freshmen. But what
the game will lose in precision. it
will gain in zest and a general open
ing-up of play. For example, ct"
formation will be used more than
ever And the teams, being general
ly lighter than in the past, doubt
less will depend more upon passing
