Said Herman of Pingel,
There is even one captain in

Pingel, who was All-American

backfield for Michigan State a
few seasons ago. He may have to
take orders from a private or
corporal in the course of football
events on this assignment. The
mere mention of this should
bring a chuckle to the thousands
of privates and cor-orals who
are not on this assignment"

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 - (P)
- Moving the football games to
the spectators instead of having
the spectators move to the foot
ball games is the answer of the
college athletic departments to
the war-inspired travel restric-
tons.
Although virtually every
coach and athletic director poll
ed by the Associated Press ex-
pressed optimism regarding at
tendance and gate receipts for
the coming season, many of them
either had moved contest to a
large city or was contemplating
such a switch.
Even the staid Big Ten APP
proved the transfer of the Ohio

Champaign, ILL.,, to much bigger
Cleveland.

Bernie Moore of Louisiana
State, figured that gate re-
ceipts for the Tigers home games
would be off from Is to 40 per
cent because of Baton Rouge
small size, plus the tire and gas
situation. Mike Ahearn, veteran
Kansas State director, estimated
his clubs home receipts at Man
haitian, Kas., might be cut in
half" Army guessed the crowds
at its three West Point battles
would be off 80 per cent.
Their sentiments contrasted
sharply with the majority, es-
pecially with the ones express
ed by officials at schools in Bos-
ton, New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Dallas, Minneapolis,
Washington, Baltimore, Atlanta
and New Orleans.

they also have a problem close

Locals Suffer
Second Defeat
Of Year, 81
Warner Tokes Over
on Mound in Fourth,
Allows No ToIlies

The often advanced theory
that a top-flight athletic team,
accustomed to coordinating its
efforts, is better than an all-star
outfit received something of a
setback last night at st. Mary's
Stadium.
Last year, a team of Mount
Clemens All-Stars held the Hud-
son Police to a 10 score; last
night, the Hudson Police trim
med the wings of the high-flying
Bar 50 softball team, ST.. 1t
was the second start of the sea-
son against outside competition
for Bar 50 and the second loss
for the locals, who boast an un-
defeated record against city
competition.
4 UNEARNED RUNS
The visitors only runs came
in the first two innings and four
of the five were unearned; Bar
50 kicked away seven chances,
six of them in the two opening
frames. In the first, White first
player up for the Police, singled,
scoring on an error before Bud
Sage, second baseman, homered
for the Hudson teams only
earned run.
In the second, a single, error
and fielder's choice put three
consecutive b at S m n on the
bases and they all scored with
the aid of errors for a SO lead.
Meanwhile, Bar 50 managed
to string out six hits to their OF
ponents' eight, but could never
bunch them. Their only run
came in the fifth after Dottie
Macdonald had gained a walk.
scoring on Lorne Dubay's sim
gle.
WARNER ON MOUND
Perhaps the highlight of the
game in many ways was the re-
turn of Danny Warner, veteran
mound star, to local action.
Warner entered the game at the
end of the fourth an allowed
only three hits and no runs. AL
though he has not pitched in
city competition this summer,
Warner turned in a good per-
Torrance, being in trouble only
once - that in the sixth inning,
when two consecutive singles
threatened. A strike-out and fly
settled the issue, however.
Ted Bankey, who played in
the outfield for the first seven
innings for the Police, and then
left the game, returned as a
pitcher in the eighth. He struck
out three straight batters in that
inning, but allowed a hit to
Mushy Albrecht in the ninth.
Although the visitors offered
to forfeit the game on Bankey's
re-entrance they wanted him
to warm up for the D etroit
Times tourney tomorrow the
offer was refused by Bar 50
managers.

All Hubbell says about his re-

This will no doubt come as
