HON. Youth Feels

The grip that football has on the
youth Of this country is an amazing
thing. For football is also a grind
and hard work. It isn't all glory.
For example, this last season, due
largely to army regulations, Har-
ward, Boston college. Vanderbilt and
Tennessee had to abandon football.
At least that was the early plan.
II was the young football players,
many Of them minus coaches. who
picked up and got going again, at
least with informal games.
Eat Ohio State" Paul Brown told
me, I'VE had no navy trainees. We
had to depend on 4-F's and kids
under 10. Yet we had As men out to
play one of the hardest schedules
of the year. We finished with a
total squad of IS men. The kids
knew in most cases there wasn't
even an outside chance to win-not
against such teams as the Seahawks,
Purdue and Michigan. But they
were keen to try it out.
II think l943 has been football S
toughest year. We have the chance
now TO do some better matching for
l944-a chance we never had this
last season. / think you will see
games much more evenly played,
just as Ohio State and Illinois were
matched in one of the most excit-
ing games of the season. There
should be more civilian games.
There will be quite enough service
teams and navy trainee teams to
build up first-class schedules ali
around the man."

THIS fighting game in the war

These have certainly done their
share-but they are not the only
ones in the big show.

World Audience

Probably the most widely known
woman athlete in history, Sonja's ca
reer has been remarkably success
full. Through her ice shows millions
of people have seen her in person.
Millions more-in many parts of the
world-have seen her in pictures.
The records show she had her
share of disappointments before VIC
tory came her way. At the tender
age of 10, Sonia competed in her
first world championship, finishing
last although she already was Nor
ways best. In 1924 she competed
in her first Olympic championship,
finishing eighth.
In the 1926 worlds championship
at Stockholm she was runner-up to
Helmar Szabo, figure skater from
Vienna. The following year Sonia
replaced Szab0 as champion after
the latter had held the title four
consecutive years. She was Is when
she won her first worlds title and
only 16 when she won her first
Olympic crown at Oslo in 1928.
Sonia declares that the closest
competition she ever had was dur
ing the 1886 Olympics at Garmisch-
Partenkirchen. Germany, when she
faced % Of the worlds ranking skat-
ers from IL countries. She finished
the school figure competition with a
narrow three point margin over
Cecilia Colledge. an exceptionally
talented English star. A brilliant
performance in the free skating en-
abled Sonia to beat Miss Colledge
by the scant margin of 424.5 points
to ADJ.

The Bigger Job

Some fellows" General C"Blond-
ieD Saunders said, "have the i'm
preston that only great athletes
have starred in this war. / believe
in football and all body-contact
sports. But I don't believe these
men have deserved the credit the
clerks and the soda-water jerkers
and the mechanics and the farm
kids have earned, who have gone
through hell without batting an eye
lash.
They we're not good football play
ers or good basketball players or
good baseball players or prize-ring
fighters. They were just about 80
per cent Of the kids Of this country,
SO far as any headlines were con-
cerned. But when the showdown
came, along the ground or in the
air, they were still America, will
ing to give their lives away to win"
But don't you think" l asked
Blonde and Rosie, that football
ano other such man-to-man or body
pressure games are big help?"
There's no question about that"
Rosie" O'Donnell said. "In an all
out war you go all out. And that
includes everybody. The trained
competitors from sport have the
call. They know what it means to
be under fire, even college fire. But
I've been in spots when kids. who
never had this chance, were just as
good as any great sporting star
could possibly be. I've seen them
look right in the face of death and
even laugh. I've seen them look into
almost certain human destruction
and carry out their jobs to the finish"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1944-01-06

Later on they had an even greater
record in the South Pacific. They
did a few incredible things which
they refused to talk about.
Both are stout believers in foot
ball and all other forms of competi-
tive sport in the way of war train
ing, whether it be land or sea or air.
fortress or tank or bayonet.
But both believe that too little
credit has been given to the clerks,
the fellows from the farm, the kids
from the city streets, the sporting
unknOwns who have been handling
guns or planes over the South Pa
cific, or over Italy or Germany,
with the GOODNESS and courage no
star could overmatch.
Most of these fellows have played
games Of some sort and have the
right spirit of competition. But you
never heard Of them in sport.

Marking the bishops fourth ap-
peal for funds to finance relief for
the innocent victims of war, the

ministrative board of the NCWC. A
total Of 81 ,293 900 was collected last

Life-Saving Devices
Placed on Display
AT National Museum

Newly perfected life-saving equip
ment for shipwrecked sailors, air
personnel forced down at sea or for
service units isolated on the desert
or in the jungle, is now on exhibi-
ton in the foyer Of the National
Museum, Tenth street and Consti-
tuition avenue NV.
Much of this equipment was de-
veloped by men in the armed forces
as well as civilians under the Emer-
gency Rescue Equipment Section of
the Co-ordinator of Research and
Development of the Navy.
It includes chemicals which will
take the salt out of sea water, a
balsa wood float capable of sup
porting rs men, rubber life RATS
which are inflated by a flask con-
tanning carbon dioxide, exposure
suits, emergency rations and even
mirrors which can be flashed ac-
curately up to 10 miles.
Packed in the life RATS are water
proof containers holding a first aid
kit, two smoke grenades, four mos
quito headnets, pyrotechnic projec-
tor and six Very cartridges, q can
Of flourescein dye sea marker which,
when released on the water, forms
q large yellow-green patch up to 5
miles and lasting for three hours;
four packages Of rations and eight
cans of water.
One OF the most important inven-
tions is the sunstin which is used on
life RATS or in tropical island areas
to distill water. Adopted by the
Army Air Forces it consists of a
tube into which the water to be
distilled is poured. The water is
absorbed by a black cloth. Sun ac-
ton then vaporizes the water and
it condenses on the underside.

Shortages Of Beef
Likely This Spring,
Meat Institute SAYS
~ the Associated I'ress.

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-Shortages of
better grades Of beef are likely to
occur In some sections Of the coun-
try during the spring and probably
viii be accelerated materially by
black market operations" the
American Meat Institute predicts.
The institute said In a survey Of
the meat and livestock situation
that marketing of cattle in the
early spring is expected to be con-
siderably reduced from present
levels.
"Our general analysis" the in
stitue stated, indicates the supply
Of beef for the entire year will be
as large as in 1943, but this year, as
happened last year, shortages of
better grades Of beef are expected
during April, May and June"
Pork supplies during the spring
and summer are likely to be con-
siderably higher than last year, the
institute said. It made no forecast
on the veal and lamb supply, which
normally is q very small part of
total meat consumption.
The institute gave these reasons
for the anticipated smaller beef
supply:
l. There were Is per cent fewer
cattle in mid-Western feed lots on
January l, 1914, than a year pre-
vious. Those cattle either have been
marketed or now are being
marketed after a short period of
feeding on grain. Normally, such
cattle are fed for q longer period
and reach the market in the spring
months.
2. Cattlemen will be reluctant to
sell range cattle during the spring,
because they can be fed on grass in
the Western range States.
3. The shortage probably will be
accelerated by "black market"
operations, "as was the case last
spring when shortages were caused
on the East Coast, the West Coast
and in Texas"
