overwhelming desire to spoil Mr..

Soldier Vas Out to Vim
Bet at Whatever the Cost

A soldier whose main trouble
was extreme talkativeness was on
escort duty with corporal TAX
ing an important prisoner to head
quarters.
Before starting, he had been told
that on no account was ne to
speak; a bet of a carton of ciga-
rettes had been made that he
couldn't keep silent until reaching
headquarters.
They went in single file, the sol
der quite mute.
On arriving at headquarters, the
corporal, without looking round,
said, well, Tommy, you've won
the bet.''

you nearly had me when the pris-
oner escaped"

Job

The services are doing magnih-
cent Job In maintaining physical fit
ness-army, navy, marines and
coast guard. They are giving mill
lions the chance to box, swim, wres-
tie, run and jump.
This same program should be car
ried through for the remainder of
the nation-for the kids coming up
and for the older men who have yet
to be called. We have concentrate
ed too much on the outstanding few,
who needed this training less than
the others.
I think it viii be different now.
It is for this reason that I believe
we should carry out all programs
with what we have left-to be sure
these are physically fit and ready
against the day they are needed.
This goes for football, baseball, bas-
ketban, track and field, boxing,
wrestling, swimming and all of the
rest.
Our physical average as a ma
ton has been entirely too low
against the limited number of Sc
lected stars who could win cham
aionships and draw IN money at the
gate
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1943-01-21
The Needed Program

Granting the fact that football is
a badly needed ingredient in our ma
tional training program-which no
sane person denies-there should be
outside competition at close travel
ing range.
There should be no faraway inter-
sectional games. But there are any
number of teams who are fairly
close neighbors, where there is a
homespun rivalry, where travelling
distances are short.
The East can play against the
East-the South against the South
the Midwest against the Midwest
and the Southwest-the Far West
only against the Far West.
Until the war is over, national
championships are entirely out Of
order. Long trips are out Of order.
Intersectional games are out of or
der.
Very few people expect sports as
usual. They know that far-reaching
changes are inevitable.
But it so happens this country
has teams In every section that can
play among themselves on a high
basis of skill, with a neighborhood
rivalry that is far more interesting
than any outside challenge.
For example-Harvard, Yale and
Princeton-Georgia, Georgia Tech,
Alabama and Auburn-Boston Col
lege and Holy Cross-Army and
Navy Southern Cal. and UCLA-
Stanford and California-the Texas
teamS-on and on.
With the war department taking
over so many colleges and universe
ties, their major mistake would be
to abolish football.
Their second major mistake would
be to abolish all outside competition.
They should let these colleges car
~ on with what they have left. We
are thinking now only IN terms Of
physical condition, competitive
training and morale.
These are factors that can't be ig-
nored, even by those In charge at
Washington who claim to have more
important matters to think about.
For practically this entire college
enlistment will be IN war service
training, only waiting the call to ac-
tive duty.

College Football and 1913

What will happen to the colleges
and college football this year?
In the first place, this is a matter
entirely up to the war department.
In the second place, it is also a
matter that interests many millions.
Here is a tip from inside sources
in the war department
SIN 1913 we will take over 200 or
maybe 800 colleges and universities.

This is a different sort of war.
"The only colleges and universe
ties that can get by are those picked
for war training. After 1912, the
war department will have full
charge, not college presidents, who
are in complete accord with the
war department program"
The NetU Program
It is my belief that so far as 1913
is concerned, football should be CIV
en- first place in any physical train
ing.
Football isn't war-but it is the
closest thing we have to war.
Football is the best training for
war. As references I'll give you
Gen. Douglas Macarthur and Capt.
Mike Moran of the good ship Boise,
who sank six Jap warships In II
minutes.
Both are staunch believers in foot
ball values for war.
But what sort of college football
program will we have for 1913?
Many in the war department want
only an intramural program. In
this respect they are 100 per cent
wrong.
On both the physical training and
the morale sides, football-or any
other sport-needs outside competi-
ton.
Men in the service know this much
better than head men IN Washing
ton.
These servicemen want to beat
somebody else-not themselves.
There are too many IN Washing
ton who don't happen to understand
this psychological angle-which is
an important one.
There is no way they can get
close enough to millions of service
men, who know what they want.

Ozzie Simmons
Training At
Great Lakes

Ozzie Simmons, Negro halfback
who was named on many of the
country's All-American football
teams in 1885 while in his junior
year at the University of Iowa, is
now in training at the u. S. Naval
Training Station, Great Lakes, H.
The 6-foot, 210-pound Bluejacket

Recognized as one of the Big
Tens best line plungers and open
held runners, Simmons was a
mainstay of Coach Ossie Solem's
scoring power for three years at
| Iowa. Graduated from the univer-
sity in 1897 with a bachelor of
science degree in physical educa-
ton, the grid star went on to play
three years of pro football with
the Patterson, N. j., Panthers in
the American Association League
and with the ST. Louis Gunners.
During this time he played in
several all-star games and in 1889
led an professional team in a
20 to 6 defeat of an all-eastern
collegiate team by scoring two
touchdowns.

to attend Chicago Teachers Col
lege, Chicago, Ill, where he re-
celved teachers certificate in
