 New York, Oct. 21.--(UP)-Re- gardless of what happens to other sports during the war, basketball seems destined to flourish.
 The hoop game is easily adaptable to wartime conditions. Moreover, 1t has thousands of active partici- pants-lnale and female-through- out the country, and its millions of fans generally are more prosperous now than in recent years.
 Despite the constant shift of man. power to the colors, talent will be available for 'big time" basketball, because it is the most widely played team-game in the nations high schools, colleges, military establish ments and defense plants. It's a sport that thrives on local loyalty and cloSe-to-home rivalries. Hence, it's "big-time" wherever played.
 Some serni-pro and college teams do make long trips during the sea- son, with squads that are small compared to those in football or baseball. But these trips could be eliminated and intersectional play dropped entirely during war time without hurting the game. Distance does not lend enchantment in bas- ketball as 1t does on the gridiron or diamond. Rarely does a distant quintet build up following among the home folks like a distant foot ball or baseball outfit. Games would be just as well attended, perhaps better, if basketball teams concen- trated on competition in their owr areas.
 o. K. for Practice
 The game is particularly adapt. able to war conditions because o1 available talent, g. minimum oi transportation difficulties, and be- cause it lends itself to odd-hour' of practice. We mean that player can practice in their spare time day or night. This is importan these days when men in uniform are SO busy for long hours wher defense plant workers can't talk time out to groom for a game, ant when many colleges are taking "four-year course" in three.
 In addition, the sport-usuall! played indoors-requires only mod est equipment.
 Paul s. Gilbert, representative O the Grumman Aircraft Co. O. Bethpage, N. Y, told basketball writers yesterday that he corsid cred the game ideal for the 18.o0I workers in that plant. He empha' sized that about half of the 18,Oot were participating in inter-plan and inter-departmental sports o' some sort, and that basketball ap' pealed to most of them.
 Fans Proud
 The game gave them mental re. taxation and exercise, he said Moreover, their interest in the bes' teams in their departments and 1T their various plants gave then something to cheer about. Too, al employees took great pride in tht team that will represent the whole company during the approaching season. Gilbert said basketball wa! proving itself of equal importance in other defense establishments.

 New York. Oct. 21-(UP)-Bos- ton College moved up alongside of Army today as the class of the east with both teams having a steam roller offense and a rock-ribbed de- fense.
 The prestige of the Boston Col lege Eagles boomed last weekend when they handed the strong North Carolina Pre-f1ight eleven its first defeat, 7-6, for their third straight triumph. Army continued to run roughshod over the Ivy league as Brown and Syracuse won to leave these four clubs as the only major un6efeated, united teams in the section.
 Boston College gave a hint of its power when 1t downed West Vir- ginia, 33-0 in its opener. The Mountaineers later walloped South Carolina and gave Fordham a tough battle. The Eagles then defeated Clemson, 14-7, and now scent an undefeated season after stopping the Navy Pre-Flight team.

It made 258 yards while mauling Clemson to a 26-yard deficit and outrushed the Naval Cadets, 192 wards to 51. The two toughest re- maining games are with Georgetown and Fordham but trouble could de- velop against Wake Forest, Temple, Boston University and Holy Cross.
 Army kept on rolling as it beat Columbia, 34-6. after victories over Lafayette and Cornell. Led by Hank Mazur and Ralph Hill, the West Pointers outgainAd Cornell, $40 yards to GA, and outrushed the Lions, 394 yards to 97. Harvard, VPI, Princeton and Navy don't fig ure too tough for the Cadets but Penn and Notre Dame will be real tests.

 Although Coast Guard defeated Worcester Tech by a larger score than Trinity, the boys from Hart ford are going to New London with the idea of adding another victory.

Many party boatmen down Chesa-
peake Bay are under the impress
sion the Coast Guard regulations
do not concern them. We quote for
them and any one else owning or
operating a boat the recent inter-
probation of the regulations: mot
only operator and owner must hold
in his possession, while on board,
Coast Guard identification card, but
every one over 10 years of age on
board must also have one"
In simple words, this means other
forms of Identification no longer
will suffice. Party boat captains
cannot take out any one without
one. The penalty for violation is
serious.
In some naval districts these reg
ulations have not yet been enforced.
They undoubtedly will be, so If you
expect to 90 fishing this Season get
your Coast Guard Identification
now.
It is as valuable in most of our
trout streams as on river and bay,
for on many of these waters there
are installations for the pursuit of
the war just as important as those
on our coastal rivers and inlets, and
Identification might be required at
any time. 1t proves Immediately
and unquestionably the right OF the
holder to follow all allowable and
normal pursuits.
Cards Easy to Obtain.
Ensign William Smith and q score
of Coast Guardsmen at 1920 Maine
avenue S.W., are doing all in their
power to make the acquisition Of
these identifications an easy mat

their choice in the 8-round duel
but it does add an interesting angle
to the proceedings. O'Gatty. re-
portedly, has sharpened his punch
ing while in Cochrane's employ and
added to his speed. He can use
both qualities handsomely against
De Chard, who is no dulard or
slow-poke himself.
De Chard, who has established
training quarters in the Apollo A. C.
since frankie Mann closed his gym,
has been working diligently for two
weeks and is nearing his peak. This
will be his seventh professional
start and marks the beginning of a
campaign he hopes will lead to more
important assignments this summer
at Griffith Stadium.

first appearance here last week, has
