says that footballs contribution to
the war effort becomes increasingly
evident. as coaches throughout the

tolling the value of their grit
training.
Crisler. director of athletics and
head football coach at Michigan,
is here for meetings Of the pigskln

Chatting with reporters, Fritz
said: Because these letters are
unsolicited, We coaches

the Unexpectedly large number re-
ceiyed and by their enthusiasm. In
general, the letters stress tWo great
benefits from the game excellent
physical condition and experience
in teamwork"
Crisler-a tall, br0Tn-haired chap
Of 45, with sprinkles Of gray az the
temples emphasized that teamwork
is more important in this war than
in any previous conflict. He called
it a war Of teams In the air,
for example. bomber crews are per-
feet teams he said. Likewise, for
nations Of bombers and formations
OF protective fighters. On the
ground, tank crews anti-aircraft
units, etc. depend much upon team
work; as DO the gun crews, etc, on
ships
He continued, "team-conscious-
ness Is something that cannot be
developed overnight; it comes only
with experience. Football players,
accustomed 10 operating as a team
member have been seasoned to the
necessity Of carrying out individual
