The naval official said that high
school and college athletics now In
the Army were among the finest
soldiers. and we whole -heartedly
urged the continuance of intercol-
legiate athletics. He added that the

the influence they could to continue

DR.. Jesse H. Williams of Colum-
bia University, member of a COM
mittee named to recommend q
physical fitness program for COL
leges, said that physical education
should begin early.
| He told the conference that the
term physical fitness is misleading
because there is no such thing.
There is fitness and it has phys
ical components. Nutrition, emotions
mental attitudes and many other
things must be considered" Will
liams declared. "One of the worst
things is the impression that few
exercises can produce physical fit-
ness"

After the dinner, coaches of the
conference heard an address on
Defense for the IT Formation" by
1t. Comdr. Jim Crowley, former
Fordham coach and now with the
United States Navy Pre-Flight
School at Chapel Hill, N. C.
The IT. formation is nothing bu,
fast plays, and you can't stop it with

on the line of scrimmage," Crowle,
said, illustrating his address with
blackboard drawings. "The only way
to stop the T. on the scrimmage line
is with a seven man line"

B.-C.C. Again Strong
On Court, Win Over
Riders Proves
Holds Margin All Way
In 39-to-3l Victory;

Indications are that Bethesda
Chevy Chase High again will have.
one of the top schoolboy basket
ball teams in this area. Last years
runnerup for the Metropolitan
championship and the Washington
representative in the Duke-Durham
tournament. the Barons again pre-
sent squad of big boys with enough
variety Of attack to match almost
anything they will meet around
here.
They showed their style yester-
day by defeating Roosevelt, re-.
garded as one Of the Districts best,
quints, 1881. They were ahead all
the way, although several times in
the second half their margin was
only one point.
Roosevelt came up with some-
thing new in the way of a combi.
nation zone and man-for-man de-
fense. It's hard to diagnose, but
1t appears the front line OF three
players work man. for man and pick
up players breaking through, while
the back two men work a zone,
which puts two men on any one
cutting for the basket. Coach Reds
Auerback is not certain he will keep
it but will try it out for several
more games anyway. -
The husky Bob Brewer, who has
the ability to get of his feet despite
his height and size, was Bethesda IS
big scorer yesterday with 10 points.
He and Roosevelt's Preston Wannan
engaged in something of a personal
duel, especially in the first half, with.
Brewer responsible for 13 points of
the Barons' 20-17 edge at the half
while Wannan had racked up nine.
Haven Rettew, who earned IA
points in the afternoon for Bethesda,
sharpened his scoring eye after that
and twice sank important goals to
send Bethesda away again after
Roosevelt had pulled to within one
point Of tying the score. &.

duced by c. P. Miles, faculty chair
man of athletics at Virginia Tech,
by vote of 14-2. The only mega
tive votes were cast by Duke and
North Carolina.
The bulk of the controversy over
the question centered on whether in
passing the freshman participation
rule, athletes would be allowed four
years of play or still be limited to
three years on the varsity.
Miles indicated that he was op-
posed to permitting athletes to play
more than three years, but DR.. Lee
w. Milford, of Clemson College, vice
president of the conference, asked,
If a student is in school, why
shouldn't he be allowed to play"
May Play Four Years.
Milford made an amendment to
Miles proposal putting athletes on
a 4-year participation basis, and it
was in this form that the proposal
passed. The amendment provides
that freshman athlete participant
ing in varsity athletics be allowed to
play three additional years over a
period of five years from first mat
REGULATION.
A second major issue-that of
barring from intercollegiate athletics
any student who received financial
aid from any source other than a
relative-quickly was killed by the
conference, with only four schools
voicing their approval of the mea-
sure. Those voting yes" were Duke,
Furman, v. M. I. and Virginia Tech.
R. A. (Cap'n Dick) Smith, ath-
letic director at Washington and
Lee, told the conference that he
thought such an amendment would
be swell" but that it couldn't be
enforced. The proposal was intro
duced by v. M. I.
Dubbed the simon pure issue, the
proposal would have prohibited
athletic participation by students
matriculating after December 81 If
they received any form of scholar
ship. financial aid or job-NYA or
otherwise a member 1nstitu-
ton or group, or individual-other
than a relative.
Stress Competitive Spirit.
Speakers agreed at the annual
banquet of the conference last night
that boys who play football are good
physical specimens, have developed
the competitive spirit and combative
attitude needed by Uncle Sam to
whip the Axis.

American soldiers must be in good

Confusion Still Reiqns
AS Officials Disagree
On Boxing Squabb|e
Commissioners Commend
Ring Governing Group,
In Opinion Of Morgan

Unwilling to believe the statement
issued by the Office of Commissioner
j. Russell Young that the Boxing
Commission made mistake" in it's
recent dispute with Goldie Ahearn
and Michael j. Uline over prices and
the placing of seats over the ice for
the last ring show at Uline Arena,
Thomas P. Morgan, jr., today de-
clared the District Commissioners
had commended, rather than CEN
sured, the ring governing body for
its handling of the matter.
One of the most progressive men,
bers of the commission since his ap-
pointment several years ago, Morgan
said he thought the Commissioners
were satisfied with the boxing
groups work and that the informa-
ton given the press after yesterdays
meeting between the city fathers and
boxing board was a misstatement.
That was not my understanding
at all of the view expressed by the
Commissioners" he said. "At the
conclusion of the meeting Col. Kutz
Engineer Commissioner said the
Boxing Commission had handled a
very difficult situation in an excel
lent way.
"As for the statement that the
health officer should be consulted
on the advisability of placing seats
over the ice at future boxing shows,
that was the Boxing Commissions
suggestion. If the health officer
approves seats on the ice that will
be jake with us. We simply want
to get the matter settled for once
and for all"
Uline and Ahern were expected
to confer with the Commissioners
next week to present their version
of the incident. the latest tempest
in the towns boxing teapot which
still threatens to find It's way into
court with the ring board in the
role of defendant. Yesterdays ses-
sion, attended by Morgan, Claude
w. Owen. chairman of the Boxing
Commission; 1t. John j. Agnew and
Secretary Dick O'Brien. lasted more
than an hour and at it's conclusion
Commissioner Young's statement
was issued by his special assistant,
Charles Stofberg. 1t read
THE Commissioners feel 1t will
not be difficult to bring about a sat-
isfactory solution to the present
situation and it is my opinion that
the entire problem centered about
the desirability Of having seats on
the ice and that the opinion of the

land, will 60 long way toward de-
termining whether it is safe to and

against stanford.
Baugh provided shock. His best
receiving end had suffered a broken
leg on the first play Of the game.
I think his name was Clarke. The
passing years carry an erosion.
In any event, in that game from
"far away and long ago." Buugh
started passing from his own 10
yard line, with his crack receiver on
his way to the hospital. Ninety
yards to a touchdown.
Baugh Holds Fine Trim.
IN one big moment, when Baugh
was surrounded and shut off, saw
him throw an underhand pass for
q yards and touchdown.
1t was something beyond belief.
I saw Baugh kick so and 65 yards.
I saw him tackling all over the field.
And Baugh also can run.
On that day at Fort Worth, Baugh,
6 feet /, weighed 180 pounds. When
I saw him lately in a pro game,
eight years later, he still weighed
18O pounds-no alcohol--no nicotine
in those eight years.
Dark, grim, serious, cold, hard
bitten, set to handle one Of the
toughest Of all jobs in sport.
doubt that any football player
has taken a greater physical beating
than Baugh has taken.
He has proved what fitness and
physical condition mean-what raw
courage means.
Hutson Had Stanford Dizzy.
got my first glimpse OF Hutson
In a Rose Bowl game in which Ala
bama was playing Stanford, an out
fit that had at least five potential
all-America entries. I mean Monk
Moscrip, Keith Topping. Bones
Hamilton, Bobby Grayson, Big Rey-
nolds, 23O- pound Mueller and others
This Stanford team along the
ground was giving Alabama a fine
raking over. It had speed and power
drive and slash. 1t struck with pile
driving force. But against this
Stanford was taking murderous
beating through the air. There
were two reasons-Dixie Howell
Alabama's passer, ana Don Hutson
Alabama's phantom end. Howell
flipped-and Hudson snagged.
On several occasions 1 saw Keitf
Topping, Moscrip and Hamilton sur
rounding Hutson. You could sex
that he never had chance to handl'
Howell's pass. And then-suddenl.
-Hutson had the ball and was OF
his way.
Cracks Best Pass Defense.
At the time, I admit I made tn
error of criticizing Stanford's pas
defense. After the game I aske'
Keith Topping, one Of the best end
in football, and one Of the smartest
how he and his mates let Hutsol
get away.
II only wish l knew" he said
Wed be all around him. We knew
where the pass was coming. w
knew how to break it up. Lid b
within 2 feet of Hutson. And thel
something would happen suddenly
He'd have the ball and be on hi
way to another touchdown"
Evening star., 1942-12-12

At that stime this didn't seem to
make much sense. But Hutson
cleared this Stanford team of any
defense deficiency in later years
when he came to the Packers.
For eight years he has completely
bafled and bewildered the best
pass defenses the pros could throw
against him. Football never has
seen anything like him. Ask any
pro.
Best Pass Catcher Ever.
Part of the answer-at Alabama,
Hutson could run the 100 in shade
better than 9.8 seconds. He could
high jump 6 feet.
He has hands made of glue. He
has body feint that is unbelievable.
Above all, he has Iris Speakers
knack of judging the balls flight
to a foot-and getting there. He
doesn't have to follow the ball with
his eye He knows where to be at
the split second, cutting in or out.
Opposing players play Hutson.
Hutson plays the ball. 1 once saw
him take 62-yard pass from Isbell,
fake out three men covering him,
put on final sprint and run for
a goal-to-goal touchdown. And
this was aginst the Au-Stars. The
best from all the other teams.
Hutson comes under the head OF
artist-the greatest artist in his field
that football ever has known.
You can take all the stars Of all
time in football, but when it comes
to matter of hard, cold effective
ness, Ill take Don Hutson, Sammy
Baugh and Mel Helm.
Owen Picks ALL Time Team.
Recently we persuaded Coach
Steve Owen Of the Giants to name
his all-time pro team.
Here is his selection:
Center-Mel Helm.
Guard-Danny Fortmann.
Guard-Mike Michalski.
Tackle-Cal Hubbard.
Tackle-Link Lyman.
End-Don Hutson.
End-Bill Hewitt.
Quarterback-Dutch Clark.
Halfback-Jim Thorpe.
Halfback-Sammy Baugh.
Fullback-Bronko NagursN.
This is great lineup. But think
of the men Steve had to leave Off
linemen such as Bulldog Turner.
Bruiser Kinard, Joe Stydahar, Jim
Poole-or such backs as Red Grange,
Ace Parker, Tuffy Leemans. Cecil
Isbell, George McAfee, Ernie Nevers,
Clark Hinkle and Norm Standlee.
I'll still have to stand by my
first pick" Steve says. Maybe
some one else could pick team to
beat them, but I'd hate to try.
Imagine Baugh passing to Hutson.
with Jim Thorpe running and Ma
gurski bucking. What defense could
handle that with the blockers the
team would have up front"
} You can't argue much with that.
But another backield composed Of
Parker. Leemans, Grange and Nevers
wouldn't be too soft, with Hinkle on
Ihand-not overlooking Isbell.
