NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Have

Our guess, after reading about
the program for training Army

colleges won't have the teams to
fill them next fall. The main
hope OF carrying on football on
anything like a normal basis was
to have the soldier students
mingle with the rest on varsity
teams and apparently that's out.

tight min and 1t is impossible for him to escape the added respon. abilities which ho must bear for two years more, at least.
 Right now, there is being heard tho first talk of 0 possible fourth term for Roosevelt. Between now and the nominating conventions i0 months away, there will be much gossip as to whether the President or any other man should bc subjected to the strain of an- other four years after the first ton which Ars tho hardest, and tho next two, which cannot conceivahly be any easier.
 STILL "sMARP"
 Much, too, will be made of the Presidents physical condition and his physical ability to tako this punishment. Ha would be 03 iIi i046, and T in i040--still younger than on "old man of TO-"
 That hO has stood the strain better than any previous PreSi- dent, and under more trying con. ditions, is beyond question. His mind Ia clear and he is still politically sharper than most of his followers and opponents.
 Furthermore, his chin is still up. There Is not Q wrinkle that betrays defeat in his naturally aging face. He has never admitted ,h0 was licked. it is c safe bot he won't quit until he feels his fight is over.

Presidents weight has been kept close to l87.
 That's the figure at which Rear Admiral Ross T. Mcfntlro, sur- geon-general of tho Navy and the Presidents personal physician, be. lieves MT. Roosevelt is healthlost. HAND TREMBLES
 Most noticeable change In the PresidentS physical condition Is a slight nervous tromor in the hand as hO reaches for his cigar cite holder or for Q paper on his desk. Once the object of his reach Is grasped, tho hand itself steadies and the apparent ner. vousnesS disappears. It is nat. ural to any man of 0i.
 Men who have been close to tho President say this apparent ner. vousneSs was not observable dur- ing tho first Of his 10 momentouS years in tho White House. Then, after on extremely trying week, 1t might appear easily and quickly shaken off by Q week-0nd'S rest at Hyde Park, Q longer stay at Warm Springs, or a real vacation, sailing or fishing.
 Those periods of relaxation can't be taken 50 readily in these war times. Tension and strain can't Do relieved, and the burden daily bo. comes heavier.
 But the President con still take lt, and he loves it, fie shows annoyance ct times, but who doosn'tp Ho still has tho same mAnnerlsms that have made him famous as Q personality. Ponder Ing c question, collecting his thoughts before giving an answer, he will puff up his checks and blow out the cir through rounded lips.
 between his teeth At the same jaunty angle. Ills smile is the same broad grin that cartoonists love to carricaturo, His jaw juts. He smiles oil over his face. Ills eyes still sparkle. He radlates cockiness and self.confidonco. He never let's his features droop or sag. He still can have fun.
 It annoys some people that he still can have fun. With the world going lickoIy-split to hell In Q hack, it annoys these people to think that tho President takes time out Co wlsecrack, or even to join in the chorus of that old Gay eos ballad, Saloon, Saloon, So. loon" when the White House correspondents have their annual dinner,

 Yet the ability to laugh has un. occasionally been ono of the Presidents saving graceS. With" out c sense of humor and . ready wit, no man could take the 10. year punIshment which hO has endured, over and above his mas jor physical affliction.
