Colleges Will Use Pro
Grid Style After War,
Sutherland Thinks
~ the Associated Press.

~ lne AssOSiaeeo EIoeos
DELAND. Fla. July 13-Lt.
Comdr. Jock Sutherland, who has
played and coached in both fields,
forecasts that college football after
the war will look a lot more like
the professional game.
THE pros have learned what the
fans want to see," explained Suth-
erland, who is in charge OF the
United States naval rest center here
college football still is all right,
but it has been a little slow in
knowing what the fans want. Pro-
fessional football is more spectac-
ular. 1t packs more of a thrill be-
cause 1t Is more of an open game.
1t gives more opportunities for
scoring
Comdr. Sutherland, who coached
the University of Pittsburgh Pam
thers to some of their greatest vic
tories and later was mentor for the
Brooklyn Dodgers professional team,
said many college coaches are press
ing the National Rules Committee
to swing the collegiate game into
line.
BY spectacular" he continued, II
don't mean pro football is rough.
You could call it rugged, perhaps,
and decidedly not timid. 1t still
takes a man to play it, even If 1t
isn't like the old days"
When he played professional foot
ball back in 1919, he said, there
was "a premium on beef" and too
often the idea was to send a man
either to the sidelines or to the hos
pital."
To-day in pro football it's a diff
ferent story. Coaches now are look
ing for men who are alert, speedy
and coachable. The old maxim that
the heavier team was bound to win
Is thing Of the past
The professional player today
can be called post graduate in
the study of the sport. From my
experience l would say that any
college player who goes into pro
fields continues to improve on his
skill for four or five years.

Honor Roll For
Men In Service
Will Be Erected
Printing Of Names To Be
Started This. Week And
Placed In Courthouse

Final plans for erecting an hon
or roll board for the Ashe county
men in service during world
War II, will be started this week.
The board is being erected un-
der the sponsorship of the Jeffer-
sons Rotary club and the Ashe
Post of the American Legion and
will be placed in the hall of the
courthouse.
A list has been compiled by the
local draft board and several ad-
ditional names were secured by
this paper, of Ashe county men
who entered service elsewhere.
Those in charge of the board
are anxious to have it complete
and a special request is made to
the families of all Ashe men in
any branch of service, to submit
their names to Rev. J. w. Luke,
chairman of war records or to
The Skyland Post, provided this
person entered service through
any other channel except the 10
cal board. This would include
those already in service before
war was declared and possibly
others.
In the event some names are
omitted they may be added later,
if sent in, as more names will be
added from time to time as more
men enter service.
