It is apparent that there is a
movement for united K-9 Corps.
The Coast Guard unit of German
shepherds has been turned over TO
the Army and hereafter all dog
training for the Coast Guard will be
done through the Quartermaster
Corps Dog procurement will con-
tinue in the hands of Dogs for De-
fense, Inc, a civilian organization
which has obtained dogs for the
armed forces from the beginning.
A leSsened need for beach patrol
dogs in this country is Indicated,
but the need for dogs to serve
abroad is greater than ever. Train
ing kennels and quarters in this
country have been expanded to take
care of more dogs and recruiting
has been accelerated.
Dogs over 20 inches at the shoul-
der and over so pounds in weight;
male, female or neLyer, free from
gun, man and thunder shyness and
disease and of any of the following
breeds or crosses thereof are urgent
ly needed-Chesapeake or Labrador
retrievers. boxers, collies, Dober-
mans, shepherds, briards. giant
schnauzers, huskies, Samovedes
standard poodles, Airedales and
Kerry blues.
Pet dogs not eligible for actual
service may be enlisted in the War
Dog Fund in any rank from private
or seaman to general or admiral at
cost of 81 to 500. This money
goes to help defray expenses of dogs

most OF our boys originally enrolled

Angelo Bertell's generalship has

has done the most for our improve
ment. Bert has found himself. Last
year he was relieved of signal call
ing because of his complex of never
calling a play for himself. That
move made Bert take a personal
inventory, with the result that this
year he is remarkably confident
quarterback.
But we'll still be lucky if We don't
lose three or four games"
Tsk, tsk, Mr.. Leahy.

Anytime Bonura wasn't hitting

Mats in 1888 Zekc battod .289. He
thumped % homo runs and SWatted
across a respectable l13 runs, but
Zeke couldn't bat runs across as rap

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-The Chicago
Bears, growing to themselves since
last year for allowing Washington
to win the 1912 National Football
League championship, may get an
other crack at the Redskins for the
pro crown If the current pattern
continues to be followed.
The Bears and Redskins remained
the only unbeaten teams in their
respective divisions after yesterdays
sessions and should either be de-
feated from here on, it would have
to be rated an upset.
Bears Smear PhiIpitt Record.
The Philpitt combine, the East's
surprise team" rode into Chicago
with an undefeated league record of
two victories. But the Eagles we're
smashed, 48-21, by the Bears. Sid
Luckman pitched three touchdown
passes, Dante Magnani scampered
96 yards with kickoff and Harry
Clark raced 81 more with
recovered tumble
Meanwhile, Washington rolled up
its second straight win with stun
ming 33-7 triumph over the Green
Bay Packers, the team which earlier
had held the Bears to a 2l-21 tie.
Slingin' Sammy Baugh flicked passes
of IA, 8, and 5 yards for touch
Gowns and Andy Farkas made an
other on a short plunge which fin
ished off an 80-yard parade.
Baugh raised his total 10 seven

Not very long ago. the American
