'TARzAN' WHITE. ADDS CLASS TO. ALL-ARMY TEAM
Story of How He Got His NickuName Is Most
 Interesting

New Haven, Conn, Sept, s,-The concrete bastions of the Yale Bowl shook and shivered here today as they gave up the echoes of the shrill cry emanating from nearby Yale field, when the An-Arny foot bali team was driving through an exacting drill under the sharp eye of the coach, Colonel Robert Ney- land. Tremulous neighbors need have no fear, though. It was only, squat, sawed-os2 '"rarzan" White, hard- bitten veteran of the profess sional wars, giving off his familiar yell.
 All of which was 0 good sign for Col. Neyland and his soldier war riors. For a White In vibrant voice is 0 White to be feared by all foes, When Tarzan lets loose, 1t means that he is raring to go.
 And the stocky guard is all of that as he awaits the thunderous finale of his football career. The tougher they are the better he likes 1t, so hell be in top form when he takes the field against the mighty Chicago Bears, champions of the cash- and-carry football world, in Boston's spike-scarred Fenway park on Sunday afternoon, September 20 for the benefit of Army Emergency Relief. White hopes to leave them roaring as he says goodbye before the capacity crowd that promises to pack the big Red Sox orchard fol the game, which is sponsored by the Crosscup- Pishon Post, 2Sl, Ameri' can Legion,
 He's Q Thriller
 The spectators always get 6 thrill when the blocky guard thunder' downfield, But few of them ever knew the real origin of that nick name. Most of them thought 1t was the result of those fearsome yells that all but scare the opposition right out of the park. The fact IS though, that he became known aS Tarzan long before he ever played a game of football.
 White, @ primitive soul with an ancestral love of nature deep in his heart, loved to roam the wild country near his Atmore, Alabama home whels he was only a youngster of seven. He used to go and live in the woods for week pr so at the time. armed with only knife. He'd forage for his meals and build his own hut in thet rees. He could swing from limbe to limb with the equal agility of the more famous Johnny Weissmuller.
 That, in fact, was how White de- veloped the abnromally strong shoul- ders and arms that make hi msuch A defensive terror. A real sam son, Tarzan can overpower an op- ponent by sheer brute force. Fast and shifty, he's good on otfense' too.
 Today's yell was caused by the figures on the scales which showed that White had dropped ten lbs.- down to 205-and was at his play ing weight. The fellow is really roaring to go.

Hartford, Sept. 3.-The whole Brooklyn Dodgers squad of the Ma tional Professional Football league will be seen in action at the Muni- cipal Stadium when the Dodgers move into Hartford Sunday next to play the New London Diesels, for- mer New England champions.
 Sixteen new faces are to be seen this season in the Brooklyn en- semble and Coach Mike Getto, who has succeeded the famous Jock Sutherland as Dodger coach, is eager to see these new men under fire. The regular Brooklyn line up, first stringers ali, will be in there as the opening whistle sounds and will play most of the game, but the newcomers will be sent Tn at various points in the game until every man has had a fling.
 Tn the only game the Dodgers have played this season-the battle with the Green Bay Packers at Eh- betts field last Sunday, Hal Mo- Cullough, Cornell back, shower to best advantage among the new men. Mccullough, hard-running back and triple threat, impressed Coach Getto and Hal is sure to see a lot of rugged action this season in the welter of National league competition.
 This Sundays game will be the first time in IS years a big league football team has been seen in Hartford. Prediction is that 5000 will be on hand when the opening whistle sends the Dodges and Dies els into action.

No Cod Reported For rRuppertCOnteSt

'It,s difficult to understand. writes George Ruppert who is spon- soring the George Ruppert fishing contest, that up to date, only three entries in the black-fish division have been sent in."
 The first was caught by Leopold SchlaiS at Wilbur Point, Fairhavea. Mass; the second entry was landed June IS southeast of Manasquan In- let. New Jersey. and was caught by Richard F. Kalway of New Bruns- wick, New Jersey. The third entry was sent in by Charles Beckmann, Island Park. New York. If I'm not mistaken, this must be the same Charles Beekmann who for many years held the worlds record on channel bass, one weighing TA pounds. taken of Chincoteague, Virginia.
 Not a single codfish entry has been sent in. Tn the sea bass division. only three entries have been receiy- ed, while in the striped bass divi- sion, only two entries are shown. In the wealSflsl division. only three eIl- tries have been received.
 "It's amazing to me-" writes Mir. Ruppert, that in the south, espe- elally in Floridas--the entries on salIfish, tarpon. white marlin and shook, have been numerous. What I cannot understand Is. = where thousands are fishing every day oli the Maine, Massachusetts. Long Island, New Jersey and Virginia coasts, that more Of the northern species Of Ash have not been en- tered"
