The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-19
BY JOE WILLIAMS

New York, Jan. 1870 far as
they are able to speak for them
selves, the athletic heads of the
eastern colleges do not intend to
take the fight directed against COM
petitive sports with an apologetic
yawn.
This was indicated today when
Asa Bushnell, executive director OF
the Eastern intercollegiate Associa-
ton, issued a statement stressing
the value of combat competition
with particular emphasis on its in
1iuence on the warrior type, or the
front line fighter.
AS you may or may not know,
there is a curious conflict of opinion
or purpose existing between the two
physical fitness groups in this coun-
try at the moment. One group, con-
veniently labeled the muscle makers
Is conducting a campaign to replace
competitive sports with routine
body bends, a sort of health-through
joy movement; the other group
while admitting the virtues of cal
1stehtics, is completely sold on COM
petition, football, baseball, soccer
track and field, etc.
This conflict has broken out into
the open in the form of bitter snip
Ing tactics, which find two Navy
commanders in opposite corners.
Ttlnney is an apostle of the muscle
makers credo; Hamilton-who in
spired those tough pre-hight foot
ball teams last falls in the other
corner. To the innocent bystander
&c must seem strange that even the
Navy can't see eye to eye on how
the fighting men should best be
lifted for the emergencies Of war.
DictatOrs?
But there Is nothing strange that
b disruption exists. The muscle
makers have been developing power
and influence for years. They en-
vision q national policy by which
they ultimately win dictate the
physical habits Of the nation. Num-
bered among them are undoubtedly
many sincere men who feel mass ex-
ercises are more beneficial to health
than combat sports; but there Il
good reason 10 believe there Is far
greater number who are niotivated
b selfish political reasons. That
they ere making progress Is shown
by the fact that even IN the middle
of . world war they have succeeded
an splitting the Nays thought ON
such an important matter as the
conditioning OF the fighting seanlen.
Beginning shortly, the Navy and

Tunney, Hamilton Opposed
On Navy Physical Fitness

gent physical fitness program will be
an important feature of the activi-
ties prescribed for the young soldiers
and sailors who are to be placed in
our colleges by Washington.
II am convinced the obvious OBJ
jectives of such program can be
truly attained only If competitive
athletics are included in generous
proportions and If the competition
is mainly withoutside opponents.
after all, it takes such outside
competition to give the conviction
of reality. Mass athletics and regi-
mented physical exercises do contri-
butte to the building Of sound
bodies. 1t is well known, however,
that intramural competitive sports
contribute even more, and that in
tercollegiate competitions contribute
most of all to skill, agility, CO.
ordination and the combative spirit.
The reason Is readily apparent; 1t
is because a participant responds
more thoroughly to the pleasure OF
contest than to the routine of
a drill.
las I have said many times, I
don't advocate athletics as-usual in
these times. 1t would be criminal to
allow such an arrangement. What
I do urge is athletics-as-the-emer-
gency requires; athletics used not
only for their beneficial influence
on the home front, but, more i'm
portant, athletics used to teach our
fighting men Of the near future to
think clearly and act vigorously in
combat. It would be criminal not
to insist upon this"
A question as yet unanswered Is
whether the service men assigned to
the colleges will be permitted to
participate in sports. This Is
question Washington must answer.
We understand the outlook Is eX-
tremely favorable. The colleges are
all for 1t. The eastern colleges put
the proposal in formal form at their
recent meeting here. This would
mean that any soldier or sailor
capable OF making, say, the varsity
football team would be permitted TO
play.
Mr.. Bushnell, because he speaks
for the Eastern intercollegiate As
ISOLATION only, was reluctant TO dis
cuss what had been done or what
IL Is planned 10 do 10 thwart the
growing menace OF the muscle max
ers--partieulaTly their ambition 10
dictate the training Of the service
men In the war time colleges.

Krasnodar is a rail junction on
the Kuban River. station on the

The rincers action on Krasnodar

other within 81 miles of their goal
at Ust-Labinskaya, and third
within 80 miles of the city, as it
speared up from the Maikop oil
fields, the Russians said.
1t was estimated that the Ger

area and the capture of Krasnodar
would isolate the Germans based at
Novorossisk
Other columns in the arc around
Rostov lay in the Lower Don, Sal

The early communique announced
the seizure OF Kshen, hallway be-

line after an 18-mile advance west
of a Kastornaya The drive in this
sector was expanded, the Russians
said, with the capture of Yastre-

Behind this column was a body
of encircled Axis troops west OF

to be slashing into their ranks in
q campaign of determination similar
TO that which reduced the Axis
besiegers of Stalingrad into pitifully

The sharpest frontline advance
was reported made toward Kharkov
