Morton Cooper OF Cords Voted Nationals Most Vauabe
COwgnls, on Quarter Horses, To Race
 At Rockingham

Salem, N. H., Oct. 27-The first renewal of the cowgirl classic, tn- augurated at Rockingham Park a year ago before one of the largest crowds of the autumn season, will take place here next Monday, &C., cording to an announcement made today by Managing Director Lou Smith.
 The race, which will be run at quarter of mile, will bring to- gether the fastest quarter horses and the greatest cowgirl riders in the world. They were scheduled to arrive in Boston today with the rodeo which will open in the Bos- ton Garden next Saturday niC Cht, and Major Walter Brown of the Garden has given Smith assurances that the top horses and top riders will be represented, to give the sports public of New England an- other unforgettable thrill as the racing season rushes to its con- cluSion.
 DOggone Winner
 The inaugural race was won by Mike Hastings Doggone, with the famous Tad Lucas up. Doggone is still in action with the rodeo, used in the steer-roping and calf-roping competition. He is considered the king of the quarter horses a quarter horse being bred for speed up t o quarter of mile-and it is admitted, even by horsemen themselves, that these rodeo ponies could outrun the fastest of thor oughbreds at a distance of quar- ter of 8 mile. They ran the race last year over a track that was covered with six inches of water, yet negotiated the distance in the sensational time of 26 seconds. Dog gone had comeup to that race with record of 50 consecutive victories in match races on the tracks and the plains of the West, and he lived up to every inch of his reputation on that memorable day.
 The same quarter horse, now one year older, will be definite starter in what looms up as the classic of the autumn racing season, and Lou Smith, always hopeful of promoting something unusual, will donate 8 purse of $500, winner take all.

Air Technical Training Corps
 Too Busy For Sports As Usual
Star Athletes Devote Time To Training As Soldiers
By NEA Service


 KnolIwood Field, N. C., October 26. - Army Air Forces Technical Training Command has its share of top-flight athletes, but it is too busy with the mammoth business of winning the war to do any growing about it.
 Interpost games, transforming teams and spectator sports are taboo.
 "Our program calls for the Technical Training Command to prepare soldiers for winning the war;" says Major General Walter R. Weaver, commanding general. we have no time for anything else"
 There is no exploitation of in- dividual stars, no sports ballyhoo. The famous athletes in this branch are soldiers first. Past glories are forgotten. GAMES DID NOT INTEREST GREENBERG AND PLASMAN
 Lieutenant Henry Greenberg, De- troit home run slugger, who was baseball's highest paid star when he entered the service, attended TICS officer school. Hammering Hank seldom had a bat in his hand, did not take time out to play in the Service Team - All-Star game in Cleveland. He is stationed in Fort Worth.
 Dick Plasman, All-America at Vanderbilt and Chicago Bear, was eagerly sought by East and west All-Army teams but preferred to remain in khaki prior to attend ing Officer Candidate School at Miami Beach, where he is now sta- tioned. Captain Jefferson Davis Dickson, who promoted boxing and other sports in Europe before the war and was known as the Tex Rick l ard of the continent, fraduateo 1 from Officer Training School and is assigned to the Air Intelligence School at Harrisburg, Pa.
 Private Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, Davis Cup tennis player who once ranked No. 2 nationally, trained at Sheppard Field, Texas, and Fort Logan, Colo, and is now assigened to Paine Field, Wash.
 Lieutenant Frank x. Shields, arl- other Davis Cupper, is a graduate of officer school.
 Lieutenant Dick Chapman, former national amateur golf champion is a physical fitness instructor 1r l Atlantic City.

 So it is plain that the TIC could field a fine team in any line, but. the boys have something more inn portant on their minds.

 RETURN TO DUTY
Factories, Utilities Must Provide Own Defense
 System After Jan. l7

All available men in the third battalion, Connecticut State Guard have been called back to duty be- cause of the need for more man. power. Many Waterbury guards men released from duty 10 days ago are among those summoned back to service.
 All guardsmen in the state are to be relieved from active duty Jan. IT, on which date factories and utilities must furnish their own plant protection staffs. The safe guards taken at each defense plant must be approved by the U. s Army. The new private guards will be deputized as special state police men.
 Capt. William J. Dillon and Capt. Hubert M. Rigney are among the officers who have been summoned for an additional two weeks of duty. The third battalion Is commanded by Major Peter E. Fox.
 One reason for the call for ex- tra men is an unusually large de- tail of guardsmen placed on duty at & large factory in the nearby town. The plant has the largest detail as- signed to any single plant in this area since the war crisis broke.

 The first steps in regard to pro- lection against the possible threat of air raids have already been taken.

Robbins, principal of Noah Wal lace junior high school, Farming ton; Thomas J. Quirk. principal of Hartford high school; and Paul D. Collier. director of the bureau of youth service of the state depart ment of education.

Hartley this past weekend visited every school in the city and after careful examination, decided upon the best place in each of the buildings for children to assemble in the event of an air raid during school hours. Further developments in connec- ton with the air raid precaution program will follow the receipt of more detailed information from state authorities, who are at pres ent attempting to work out uni- form program to be adopted throughout the schools of Connec- ticut. Dr. Condon is keeping in close touch with Dr. Alonzo Grace, state commissioner of education, and member of the Connecticut De- fense council, in outlining Water bury'S school defnses.
