recton High of Lansing.
Three other prep grid contests

Side battle, ST. Leo will be at St.
Cecilia. Non-league affairs will
bring together st. Francis Xavier
at Lourdes, and ST. Gregory at St.
Philip.
The Catholic League will be

Grid Turnou+s Good

Fred Mandel and other National
Football League magnates see a
gooc omen in the biz turnouts Tor
the p.o football exhibition games
this fall. A total of 10000
customers witnessed four games
$4,000 for the Bears-Redskins
game az Baltimore. $4,000 for the
Green Redskins game at Bal
timore. 1900 for the Pittsburgh
Green Bay game at Pittsburgh
and II 900 for the Detroit Lions
New York Giants game at Akron.
What with an increase IN paid
customers for 1943 regular league
games over 1942 and an improved
ball club, the Tigers can look back
over the current season with more
thon a little satisfaction. Only
the army relief turnout this year
was a flop. Whereas more than
$4,000 fans poured $4,000 into the
service relief funds. less than
1900 turned in a much less sum
this year.
All of which seems 60 prove
that folks-eVen baseball folks
care more for name bands thar
running and ball-battinE contests.
But don't be hard on the boys
everybody makes errors, even
would-be unofficial promoters.

Now he gets drunk every night,

II don't blame him altogether, !"
Dave Kent went on. Il know
damed well how he feels. It's
hard on man to be a civilian

ing why he isn't in the Army. Too
many wise c1acks from those who
don't know the facts. I've even
heard that Ken's been going
around to bone specialists trying
to get one of them to re-break his
leg and re-set it, so that he can
get in the Army if it heals
straight.
Dave Kent hadn't been talking

The funniest thing about it was
that she had a feeling of guilt, as
