Brooklyn OffieioI
Defends It's VoIue

NEW YORK. Feb. 4 p
One voice of optimism has
sounded a rallying cry for base
ball since the War Manpower
Commission issued its list. of
non essential Jobs.
II came last night from Branch
Hickey, president of the Brook
Ign Dodgers. who defended the
value of baseball for morale and
said, 1T is certainly TO be as
sumed that the government did
not leave out the job classified
ton of baseball players by over
sight
Taking issue with the pessi-
mlStic reactions of other major
league owners, Hickey asserted
in statement that if the as
sumption were correct h t
omission of baseball as non-es-
sential was no oversight, then
the ManpoWcr Commission must
have believed that certain pro-
fessional activities in the field
of recreations should be contin-
ued and that these activities
properly regulated are worth
while agents in the maintenance
of the fighting morale, not only
of our home folk but of our
armed forces in America and
throughout the world We
think that whatever keeps up
the spirit of our people is a
good thing"
Sports are continuing in Great
Britain and in Russia, he said.
AT the very time when the
siege of Leningrad and Moscow
were most threatening, game
of soccer in the famous Dynamo
Stadium in Moscow was attend
ed by approximately 100000
people"
If sports arc permlttedsto in
terfere remotely in the war eff
fort they should not be tolerated
for one minute. he said, but If
they continue as a helpful agent
in the field of public morale.
then they should be encourag
ed and sustained by the govern
ment itself"

Boo the Coach. Not the Referee

and screen. That's why you
see Illinois and Indiana run
ming up so and 70 points a
game. But too many OF these
other coaches are teaching
their kids TO pass and hit, pass
and hit.
Kearns has been officiating
since 1916 and figures he's
worked at least a thousand
games. And it's getting
tougher all the time, he said.
"A referee has TO use his judg-
ment and call only a part of
these fouls or he'd be blow
ing the roof off with his whis-
tie"
And what do the coaches
say?
They tell us, Call all those
fouls for three or four games
and you'll put a stop to It,. l
say, quit coaching that brand
of basketball and we won't
have to worry about calling
the fouls. If they keep it up.
l say the crowd should boo the
coaches, but lay off the Off
Gals"
