to advance after the fleeing ene- my. In the daShes on a track, one gets that speed.
 At this time. soldiers and ma rines need endurance to stand the long, hard fight and the long march to climb hills over rough ground. The mile and cross- country runs build up for that. Our soldiers and marines need ability. Ability to jump walls, fences, barbed wire, small streams without stopping. Broad jumping, high jumping and pole vaulting, give them this ability. There isn't one thing in this sport that does not help our armed forces to think fast, act fast and with all ability possible. We are learning fast, but not fast enough.
 Uncle Sam is trying to teach our boys all these things in a short time and is doing a swell job with the help of some of the best coaches and athletes in the coun- try. Why don't we help at home? Help how?
 By having track put on high CT basis than any other sport for the duration of the war. fandom will find out that 1t will stay at the top years after.

Gagnon, Freeburn
 Win Court Doubles

The old red head, John Gagnon, master of the court, and who has for some time teamed up with John Angeles, the story book ar- tist of the grass courts, took it on the chin in the singles of the Red Gross matches at Mitchell's Woods in New London at the hands of our very likeable personnel man. ager's son, Art Barnes, Jr., and then rolled back with Larry Freeburn to win the doubles.
 Red protests, almost vehemently. that he Is growing old and points out that that being his first match of the year, nothing else could have happened when he had to meet one of the cleverest boys that Bulkeley has ever produced on the courts. Our MT. Barnes is mighty proud of that boy of his, and just ly SO. He Is good.
 In teaming up with Gagnon, Lar ry Freeburn, found a partner that was to his liking and together with his very unorthodox south paving, plus the court savy of Johnny, they defeated the broth CT team of Curtis and Donald Smith of Old Lyme in the final double matches, 4-6,9-7, 7-5.
 One of the big surprises of the singles was the defeat handed to John Angeles by Phil Darlington, who also, by the way, knocked over George Chihowski and Lar ry Freeburn. If the old master doesn't get rid of that balata ball he was hitting during the singles, it might very well be that New London will be crowning a new champion in 1943 tennis.
 Tennis, being the funny game it is, might hold true to baseball form and produce a red hot court terpsicorean in August that was a bowl of cold potato salad in May. Hot weather works the same way on those older limbs in tennis, as Is does on the old soup bone in baseball.

Johnny Priolo Emphasizes
 Importance of Track Sport

The old-young speedster of the Eastern Connecticut .cinder trails a little more than a decade ago, Johnny Priolo, former track sen- sation at Bulkeley, pipe filter on the first shift and present track and field coach at Billiard Acad- emy, makes it known and defin- Itely that not enough emphasis Is put on the sport and during these times of war strife on the battle front, speed Is the necessary in- gredient of victory.
 Priolo states that little do the people of this great nation know the real importance of a sport called track.
 Take any person." states John ny, ''who doesn't follow the sport or never has competed in any event in track, to him track meet is a very silly thing. Men run ming around in shorts, some fast, some slower, some jumping, some throwing a shot, or javelin or dis GUS, look ludicrous.
 To-day, more than any time in our history, the importance of this sport comes into use for our armed forces on every front. Our soldiers and marines need speed. Speed to get to battle stations. Speed to get to fox holes and speed

played with Little Rock in the Southern Association and Scran- ton in the, Eastern League, and another catcher is A. Aragon, who was with Jersey City and then with the New York Giants. Mike Kuntz and Al Falzone are the big noises on the mound and will demand respect from the Diesel bats.
 Against the above, the Diesel brain trust will hurl Czekala, Smith and McKenna in the out field; Murphy Osinski. Yauilla and Golart in the infield; Pavlok on the mound and LaPietra behind the plate. Whats the matter with that lineup? If they haven't al- ready, the Coast Guard should ex- perience a falling barometer on Sundays bright afternoon.
 Manager Bill Haase, announced recently that all Sunday games would begin at 4 p. m., in order to allow plenty of time for the Sum- day workers to get to the ball park. Many of the players have to work on Sunday and this new starting time is a very favOrable one to them.

Joe" Garvey is a well-liked foreman who has charge of the North Fabricating Shop known as Siberia. As a mo- rale builder among his men, he organized a sOftball club known as Garvey's Racke- teers which won the cham pionship in GrOtOn last year and which intends to do like wise this year. This team promotes good fellowship and is one of the reasons Garvey gets so much work out of his shop with so few men.
 He promoted the sale of bonds and had everybody talk ing out 1O9o of their pay each week. He's rough as a bear, but he's got a heart of gold.

It was very apparent that the Diesels had somebody pinch-hit- ting for them in the West Haven game, because 1t just isn't possible that a club with the likes of Ray Smith or Jim McKenna or Tony Osinski, could go pull 30 many 0 for and o for As that were lib- orally sprinkled throughout the box score.
 Yet, that was the story of the game and 1t might very well be that this Sundays game will see a shuffling of the batting order by Steve Tuneski, in order to find the punch of the Mitchell Field and Dolphin games. They had plenty of 1t then and it couldn't have gone SO quickly.
 In the Ellis Island Coast Guard, the Diesels won't be meeting any thing like Mitchell Field was. This club is just oozing with polish, punch and punishment. If last years record was any criterion, those storm clouds will be heavy around Mercer Field on Sunday. Out of 55 played, Ellis Island won 46. They boast of being champions of the Coast Guard in the New York section.
 The invaders will bring all ex- perienced men with them. Men who have been around the minors from one tank town to the other and then knew what advancement was to . larger city. They have ability that shows up all over the paper advertising their merits.

A Little Error

silly little mistake. But
what did YOU do about it, You

whenever YOU made a mistake,
big or little you looked around
for an excuse. Quick as
flash, without a moments heSi-
tation. YOU looked around for
an excuse.
And that. of course, was nat
ural. 1t was the old animal
instinct Of self-preservation as
>erting itself. Mistakes mean
trouble. Trouble means danger,
discomfort. humiliation, possibly
punishment An animals first
impulse is to hide itself from
danger. You. too. are an animal.
Your first impulse, also, IS to
duck.
SO YOU ducked. As soon as
YOU made that mistake. you
grabbed the nearest excuse and
ducked That was easy. One
can always find thousand
handy alibiS. Blame some one
else. Say you were sick. Say
you didn't know.

mistakes, just like that, again
and again. Life will continue
10 be one mess after another

Until YOU stop ducking stop
making excuses. and force your
self to face the real reason for
all these meSSes.
The Real Reason
But what is the real reason!
The real reason IS yourself.
The real reason is something
in your own nature.
Some weakness - lazineSs,
Cowardice, conceit, greediness,
Stiffness: which is it? ] don't

cept yourself, And you'll never
know until YOU stop running
away and turn and face your

Know the truth about your
self. Then the weakness IN
yourself, which is responsible
for all your misery, will no
longer spoil your life.
You can be free. You can be
strong. You can be happy.
You need only 10 face yourself.

removing carving that is glued on
