WASHINGTON. April 8 (UP)--f
Selective Service headquarters to-
night announced what amounted.
10 work-or-fight order for ALI
draft registrants. including 4-F"s
and men 38 through A. y
In lengthy communication to
local draft boards, the service OUT
lined steps designed to expedits
the back to the farm" movement
promulgated by President Rooses
welt on Tuesday.
Selective Service informed the
nation that not even men heretos
fore deferred for physical disabilis
ties or men in the 38-through-A
age group would be absolved from
liability to military service unless
they are performing essential
work or have taken steps to get
into essential jobs by May 1.

The announcement means that
AIS and average men will be
subject TO the same qualifications
for deferment. regardless OF de-
tendency, as those in the present

Men whose dependents would
suffer hardship or whose physical
disability units them for military
service or work other than the
kind in which they are now en-
gagged, however, will be exempted
from strict application of the or
der. it was said.
A hint of a change in the status
of the average group had been
given last month when draft
boards were instructed to re-
classify all. All men according to
occupation and dependency. Boards
were ordered to reclassify those
engaged in agricultural occupa-
tons first and all others begin
ming May l.
LOWERED BY ROOSEVELT
These and other developments
have led to belief that the top
draft age may be put at "A, where
! il stood last year until President
Roosevelt lowered il in his execu.
tive order stopping voluntary en-
/ listmentS.
Today's order provides that men
38 through "A who continue in

Men previously deferred for physi-
cal disabilities would be drafted

Morris Brown Wolverines Drill
For Weekend Tilt With 'Skegee
BY JAY CARRINGTON
ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-

Morris Brown showed great OF
fensive splurge in trounclng Ala
bama State College. Coaches a j.
Lockhart and Arts P. Graves nave
worked hard and are still working
hard to get the best results out OF
their men. They are facing the
greatest scoring team they have
faced all year in the rejuvenated
Golden Tigers of Tuskegee. Morris
Brown had only seven days prac-
tice when they met them here to
open their season, and tie gime
was more than they were asking
for, yet they fought the Golden
Tigers to a scoreless deadlock. Nor
riS Brown men everywhere TOOK
that you a morale victory land it
was. TuSkegee went on from there
to show a definite greatness, troun-
cling some of the big names of foot
ball in America by top-heavy
scores.
The fact is Tuskeeee has improv-
ed ninety percent over its showing
In Atlanta in the first game OF the
wear here. They had defeated an
army team before coming to At
lanta to battle the Wolverines, and
Morris Brown without even an ink
ling of hackfield was looked upon
as a certain victim. They weather.
ed the storm and are in a better
position TO weather it again than
they were at the beginning of the
season. They may even offer a chal-
lenqe to the Golden Tigers in Tus
kegee, but al the odds favor the
Albeit coached team in this game.
MORRIS BROWN AND
TUeKEGEE HOLD SPOTLIGHT
SATURDAY
Coaches Iockhart and Graves
building of the Morris Brown team
for this game viii be closely follow
ed. They know how to prepare for
The famed "T" formation which Tus-
kegee employs. They have stopped
it on several occasions and will
most likely stop it again in Tus-
keeee. No team this year has done
too much passing over the Wolves.
They seem to be death on the pass
ing game of their opponents. They
seem to know how to stop pass
ing game, and it will not be too
much running against the Wolver-
ines forward wall. The sound fun
damenta1 teaching of Graves will
stop that, I am sure, and Lockhart
a close student of the passing
game, will certainly set UP some de-
Tense against the aerial game of the
Golden Tigers which wrecked Will
berforce and West Virginia few
weeks ago.
Big John Collier, the Morris
Brown fullback who Coach Lock-
hart moved up from center to make
fullback this year, may reach his
peak in this game with the Tigers.
Collier spanked his teams offensive
in the Alabama game and the bur-
den will rest on the capable should
ers of Collier and Mapp in this
Saturdays battle at Tuskegee. Col
lier broke loose for IS yards against
Alabama and was plenty of trouble
here the last time against Tuskeoee
So it can be said that the Wolver-
ines offer threat at Tuskegee and
they would like to win to face
Clark here Thanksgiving day un-
defeated.
