MOT MANY DAYS from now the giant
~ butadiene plant for making syn
thetic rubber at Port Neches, Texas,
will be going full blast.
The story of this plant ought to make
mighty cheerful reading for our fight

For it's more than the story of a
battle fought and won-the battle to
get the rubber we must have to fight
this War.
It's cracking good illustration of
how Americans at home are backing
up Americans at the front. 1t shows
how the folks at home can get together,
and by drive, ingenuity, cooperation,
and an incredible amount of plain hard
work, take the toughest problems this
War can hand out-and lick 'em to a
standstill.
IL months ago, this butadiene plant
-. the biggest in the world was on
the drafting board. By the end of this

rubber ingredients attherate of 100000

Stogg Named
Coach Of Week
BY CARL LUNDQUIST

New York, Sept. % - (U.P) -
He's so, but he won't give UP the
football bench for q comfortable
easy chair.
AS usual his college Of the Pacific
eleven started the season with q
well earned victory so for the Sec
ond time the United Press names as
its coach Of the week:
Amos Alonzo Stage, "the grand
father Of football"
He was born in one war and
coached through three others and
thinks 1t Is the football team which
makes the men, not the men who
make the team.
The Navy and the Marines will
have more and better ofIlcers by
reason Of continuing football"
Stage said. This would hold true
for the army also II the army had
taken an opposite view Of sports. I
feel certain the army made O mis-
take. Football stimulates officer cam
didates to study in order to main-
tain eligibility"
Stages team this year has plenty
Of spectator appeal as usual. BY
passing and deception 1t defeated q

that the boys like to write about
and only two Of the 81 squadmen
are civilians. The rest are Marine
and Naval traineeS and they get
just IS minutes a day to practice
fundamentals and scrimmage.
Courage Needed
He believes the schools that quit
football for the duration made a
mistake and that they will realize It
later on.
while some colleges were giving
up football because they thought
they had to, they might have gone
on with q little more courage.
The ones that did won't regret It,"

was one Of his players. After two

only one game and lost II, he went
