Army Will Not Play Stin1son Regrets
Stagg Calls Army Bar,
On Football A Mistake

STOCKTON, Calf, Aug. 15.-
R-Amos Alonzo Stagg, dean
of football coaches, will be 81
years old tomorrow and he
says the only birthday gift he
would like would be for the
Army to relent and let its col
lege trainees turn out for the
gridiron sport.
Emphasizing his remarks
with finger taps On a table, the
white haired, most famed men
tor of them all declared:
"The stand of the high Army
officers against their college
trainees playing football is
poor psychology. They are en-
phasizing morale in the mill
tary training. I think this ban
will tend to weaken morale OF
the boys by taking something
away from them that has been
part of their life, the playing

"The Army is depending
greatly on athletes to become
leaders, officers, and has drawn
thousands who understand team
work and cooperation as learn
ed on the field of football. My
point of view is and always
has been that there should be
just as few changes made in
the life of the people as pOssi-
BILE.
"All of us realize that con.
ditions change in war times
and I should know, having liv-
ed during four wars. (Stagg
was born in 1862, the second
year of the War Between the
States). But when the Army
is training men in the colleges
I cannot find a valid reason
for not permitting them to en-
gage in intercollegiate athlet-
les. Not when the Navy is al
lowing it's boys to do exactly
what the Army opposes.

CAMP DAVIS, Oct. 5.-With
emphasis being placed on defense
against pass attacks, Camp Davis
football squad today went through
its first drill in preparation for
the game Saturday here with the
North Carolina State aggregation.
The squad had day of partial
rest Monday as it tripped back
from Charleston by bus after Sum
days victory over the Coast
Guard base team. The entire
team, every man of the 33-man
squad, played in Sundays game.
Even though the result was al
ways a Camp Davis victory pros
pect. there was no time during
the game-and Major Henry A.
Johnson, Davis coach, emphasizes
this-when the Coast Guard play
ers were not forcing the play. He
was much pleased with the work
out given his squad in the % to 0
victory.
Bob West. big tackle who stood
out in the Wake Forest game two
weeks ago, will play this week,
said Major Johnson yesterday.
This will add more punch to the
already formidable Camp Davis
line. West was forced out of play
last Sunday by an ankle injury.
Jerry Bisceglia, former George
town and American university
fullback, will probably play to-
Gay, although his ankle was still
question to the Camp Davis
trainers through the week. He did
not play against the Coast Guards
because of the injury sustained in
the Wake Forest game two weeks
ago.
Major johnson is already max
ing plays for his teams conduct
against University of North Caro-
lima at Chapel Hill next Saturday.
Even though the Chapel Hill ag-
gregation has been beaten twice
by Navy and Duke-Major
Johnson pointed out that the Uni
versity team has been up against
the stiffest sort of opposition.

ACTION CERTAIN
IN TEAM MATCH
Masked Marvel And Sailor
Blassie Unfriendly
Partners

The tag tie M wrestling
match to be presented at ITALIAN
Hall has already developed a few
uncalled for angles, it was learned
Tuesday night.
Somewhere along the line, the
Masked Marvel and Sailor Bias
sic have had run-in and with
the two of them thrown into the
ring as partners, trouble is bound
to start. Promoter Causey is out
to make the best of bad situa-
ton since the men are already
signed for the bout, but he warns
that from the match may sudden
ly develop some unusual results.
The idea of the match is to send
two men into the ring with an al
ternate in a specified corner. If
a grappler becomes tired or is
on the verge of defeat, he is en-
titled to call on his partner for
help.
The only catch in the set-up lies
in the fact that the man in the
ring must make his way to his
partners corner and touch a
small bit Of rope hung near the
ring post.
If his partner decides that he
doesn't want to wrestle then he
merely snatches the rope from
the post and silently steals away,
thereby leaving his team-mate
holding the bag or what have you.
Since the Marvel and the Sailor
are at odds, it is sure guess that
one of them is going to try some
underhanded stuff when they pile
into the ITALIAN hall ring.
