Manager Ossie Bluege is becoming

reduced to the up and down. inhale-

and nobody is complaining.
There seems to be an undertone
OF delight, in fact, that Bluege is

They were tossing a basket ball

the downs from memory, The game
resumed and on the next play
Cornell scored a touchdown, kicked
the point and apparently won the
game, 7-3
"A neutral scout came into my

said, Red you gave Cornell five
downs. I was sick I summoned

War Golf Needed ,
Says Mai. Jones
By the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va. March IL
According to Maj Robert Jones,
there should DE no stigma on
anyone playing golf, despite the
OPA's ban on pleasure driving.
Bobby. the old golf master, said
he had observed that many per-
sons do not wish to be seen on
a golf course for fear of being
labeled a minor saboteur or at
least as a violator of the driving
ban.
IF a man can, especially an
older man, he ought to play the
game" Jones asserted. You
certainly can't keep war and
business worries very close to you
on course. A man needs the
exercise and relaxation"
Bobby said Sam Snead is by
far the greatest natural golfer
the game ever has known, but he
prefers the steadier fellows like
Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson in
tournament play.
Maj. Jones came to Norfolk to
help recruit civilian volunteers
at the Norfolk Aircraft Warning
Information Center.

Negroes do not demand any spe-

peace as in wartime.
Now we are at war-our soldiers
white and black are fighting on
battlefelds throughout the world.
Today the war effort of our Nation
is being endangered by every hour
of delay. The last desperate resort
of our enemy is to divide white

Catholic, Christian against Jew,
creating turmoil in vital war plants
and spilling blood in American
streets.
Those who preach hatred against
our fellow citizens are creating dis
unity and sabotaging the war eff
fort. They are helping Hitler and
TOTO and Mussolini. The only ha-
tired that can win this war is the
hatred of the Nazism and Fascism
that started it.
It is of extreme importance that
this war be won as soon as pos

the more American lives will be

American Labor and American In
