age of your annual income to
the United States of America.
May an old member of this
hitherto rather exclusive club
welcome you to the fellowship
and tell you how the ordeal may
be rendered relatively painless?
First of all adopt a philosoph-
ical attitude toward it. The
United States of America is q
going concern with an immense
annual turnover and 1t Is dis
tributing an increasing percent
age of the gross profits to those
who most need help. A genera
ton ago If you we're hungry,
sick. old or out Of a job the
United States expected you to
shift for yourself. Today the
United States insures you, In
some measure, at least, against
the major catastrophes that are
likely to overtake you during
your lifetime. That has in
creased the rate of taxation, but
such additional taxation had
best be regarded as a general
mutual insurance.
Insurance on Home.
Also, the United States Is your
home, and If you lose it you have
lost everything. You've been
invited into the income-tax club
because at this moment your
home is in desperate danger. If
your house is on fire you are
glad to pay for the fire brigade
and immensely thankful that you
carried that heavy insurance all
the years.
In fact you had better look at
these annual payments as just
additional insurance and let it
go at that.
Secondly-and this advice is
given warmly, out of bitter ex-
perience-stt your tax money
aside out of every pay envelope.
It IS an old saw but true that
what you don't have you don't
miss.
Compute your income for the
coming year. investigate what
you can deduct from it as non-
taxable exemptions, find out
what the tax on the net income
will be, divide it by ~ or 50 de-
pending on whether your in
come comes monthly or weekly,
and set that sum aside, right at
the outset. Your bank can tell
you about tax anticipation bonds
perhaps you will want to buy
those. Or put the money in a
savings bank. But anyhow. kiss

man and three of his coaching
staff"
But it might be mentioned here
that as long as Minnesota has a
back named Bill Daley and tackle
named Dick Wildung, the Gopher
has something more than mere
nucleus on hand. Daley is a big part
of any backfield and Wildung is a
big part of any good line. And there
are others around in Norsemen gold.
T1Uo Others
From this crows nest two of the
best-looking college squads will be-
long to Georgia and Texas A. and
M. And you can add Texas. Of
course, you must remember that
more than one or two things may
happen between now and late Sep
TENDER.
The strength of the different serv-
ice teams is still a summer guess,
but judging from most of their
schedules they will have something
more than tackling dummies on
guard. t,'
1t might be noted here that foot
ball is only a part of these cadet
training centers. Football will be
but one-ifth or one-sixth part of the
10 or 12-hour conditioning drills, at
which boxing, wrestling, hurdling,
ETC., will keep them spinning like
human tops from dawn to dark. .
The added rivalry between college
and service teams will add to the
general interest of the game, de-
spite the fact that 100000 or 10000
crowds might not be on hand when
the whistle blows. .

football players in active service,

ty-eight of these players hold COM

''While we've all lost good men and

THERE are'noW thousands of col
L lege football players, not over
looking l48 National leaguers, on &C
tive service in the army, navy and
marines. This is an underestimate.
And there are many more on their
way.
In the face of this we have been
asked far and wide what will be-
come of football this next fall.
AS far as one can offer a guess
on a June date, football will keep
under steam with the men that are
left. This goes for both the col
leges and the pros. 1t has been the
wish of both army and navy that
football be carried on, even with an
increased number of players. Army
and navy teams will be at full speed.
Above all other games, this is a
football nation. I am referring to
high school, college and professional
players, plus the many millions who
make up the camp followers. So
you can figure it out that football
will be the last game to go, if it
goes at all. Which it won't.
Typical Case
In the matter of college play we
can take Minnesota as typical
case along the upper plateau.
In this connection, George Barton,
the sage of Gopher football, writes,

championship days are over for the
