sleepily.
This is Madame Chang Kali

SAN FRANCISCO, April D tUP)
A strange sort of spring football
practice starts at the University of
California today.
Leonard B. Allison. the old
bayonet Instructor and chief Of the
Bear grid division, says he's not
interested in building characters
fol next seasons o. follies but
Only wants to harden physically as
many students as possible for their
inevitable army and navy chores.
The StuDper and his coaching CO.
horts suddenly have become aware
OF the fact that their athletic pro-
grarns-allegedly for the benefit of
the majority of enthusiastically
touched very few. The average Joe
College didn't want to die for the
OLD Alma Nanny SO much that
he'd let the handpicked varsity
knock his head off in scrimmage
every day.
USED DANCE FLOOR
Football grew into such a high
pressure business that coaches
could not afford TO inculcate the
principles of combat into anyone
weighing less than 200 pounds. Jo.
College was content to let the big
blokes give their all on Saturday
afternoon while he got his exer-
else on the dance floor that night
Coaches became jittery, sour and
unreasonable individuals during the
season. After December they took
public speaking lessons and tried
to be little Dale Carnegies at in
Vulnerable luncheons and dinners.
Some began to think they were
pretty important fellows and de-
liyered dynamic talks in the Rockne
manner about how their boys were
learning to be rough, tough up
standing Americans and all be-
cause of football.
Then it became fashionable to
say that the youth of the country
was getting soft, that they didn't
like to dish it out and take it like
other generations. Frank Leahy of
Notre Dame unburdened himself of
these sentiments several years ago
and Allison followed suit in a talk
before a Berkeley club. We were
there.
That Leahy and Allison were so
far off the beam it wasn't funny
has been proved by recent history.
And the majority of World War II
heroes didn't pick up their talents
by glaring at tackling dummies
every September.
There is no doubt that football
can be of assistance in the nations
conditioning effort. The fact re-
mains, however, that the services
rate boxing wrestling and swim
ming over the ma or" college
sports
The boys who won intramural
letters in the ring with no one
looking on are far better off than

much to be desired.
The Chicago Cubs whipped the
