Football. king of autumn sports,
returns TO Michigan State next
Saturday after a years absence

ton University in their first game
of the 1914 season.
Scranton, which, like State
abandoned football last year, re-
entered competition this year ano
opened its season last week with

Marshall. The Pennsylvania team
is coached by Pete -Carlesimo,
member of Fordham's famous
Seven Blocks of Granite"
Preliminary scout reports indi-
cate the Spartans will have to
give plenty of attention TO quar-
terback Don Filippelli and left
halfback Tom Flanagan, both of
whom are quick, deceptive ball
carriers as well as good passers.
In the line. Carlesimo has installed
two big 200-pound tackles, LEM
Modzelesky and Vince Zielimski,
who can be expected to dish out
their share of bumps and bruises.
Meanwhile, Coac' Charley Bach
man rested his Spartans today but
promised that next week would
be devoted TO the preparation of
a'strong defense. Bachman said
nearly all practice sessions so far
have concentrated on the building
of an offense, while mot more
than five minutes has been spent

The Spartans, under Bachman's
guidance, have developed an Of

The National Americanism
Commission of the American Le-
gion has just released a report
showing the tremendous growth OF
its baseball activities.
Beginning in 1926. with $1,000
boys participating, the Legion
leagues throughout the country
have grown until in 1941, the
players counted more than 500 1000.
YONKERS FIRST
The first Junior World Series
was held in Philadelphia in 1926
al the time of the national Legion
convention. and Yonkers, n. Y,
emerged champions, after the
other three finalists-Springfield
O.; Eldorado. Kan, and Pocatello
Ida, were eliminated.
From that opening season. with
80 900 players, the Legion grew to
10000 teams. In 1923, the two
major leagues underworld eX-
penses and arranged for trans
portation of regional champions
TO sections and final contests.
Names familiar to Detroit fans
among the Legion league gradu-
ates are George Tebbetts, Fred
Hutchinson. Virgil Trucks, Pat
Mullin of the Tigers; while Lou
Boudreau, Ray Mack. Bob Teller,
Bobby Doerr, Mike fresh, Ernie
Bonham, Chef Laabs. Sid Hud-
son and not exactly unknown.
ALL-STAR TEAMS
"You could pick n few all-star
teams out Of the Legion play
ers," said Wish. 81 don't know
what the big leagues would do
without that source Of material"
Wish paid high tribute TO the
Legion for its services 10 young

gram but in its whole American
ism campaign.

SCORED AT WILL

The Michigan line loaded with
first year men has stood the test
in the first two games and Clar-
ence Mum is sure all the rough
spots will be polished off before
the conference schedule opens.
Indiana ran wild over Fort
Knox in its opener, scoring almost
at will. The Hoosiers scored in
every period and piled up over
400 yards from scrimmage. That
means Bo Mcmillan has a hard
going outfit that will be tough TO
stop.
Two freshmen have been spark
ing the attack for the Hoosiers,
Bob Miller from Chicago and
George Sundheiw from Lagrange
Both have a world of speed and
will pick up experience with
every game.

President Signs Bill
Permitting Pooling
OF OIL in Elk Hills
Action Accompanied
By Statement Hitting
Measures Limitations

President Roosevelt today
signed legislation to permit the
pooling of Government and
Standard Oil of California prop
critics in the Elk Hills Reserve for
operation of the unit, but in a
statement criticized some phases
of the bill, which he said "disre-
gard principles basic to our form
of government"
MIR. Roosevelt said he disliked pro-
visions of the bill which would vest
executive powers in Congress over
administration of the oil reserves.
The bill, amending basic naval
oil conservation statutes and known
as the Elk Hills Reserve law, per-
mits the unit-type of contract be-
tween the Government and private
interests which had been declared
illegal under former law.
Immediate Need Cited.
The legislation also allows con-
demnation powers to be extended to
the Elk Hills geologic structure" in
case of drainage from the naval re-
serve. A new contract between the
Navy and Standard Oil of California
for operation of Elk Hills is now
under consideration.
In his statement the President
said he approved the bill because
the Secretary of the Navy had
assured him there is an immediate
need for measures to deal with the
problems of drainage and current
production from naval oil reserves.
He added the measure approved
will aid the prosecution of the war
to the extent that it accomplishes
these objectives.
BY my action in approving this
legislation, however, do not wish
to be understood as expressing my
approval of all of its provisions, he
said. "On the contrary, I regret
to say that in several particulars
this act departs from principles OF
government which have been long
established and which are, in my
opinion, fundamentally sound.
Il feel it is my duty to express
my concern lest this departure be
continued in future legislation.
Raps Limitations.
The provisions of the act to
which I have reference would vest
the Congress with what amounts to
executive powers over the admins
tration of the naval petroleum re-
serves.
This legislative assumption of
executive functions takes form in
two requirements, first, that the
Secretary of the Navy, even with the
approval of the President. may pro-
duce petroleum from these reserves
only in the quantities from time to
time specified by the Congress, and
secondly, that the Secretary may not
condemn lands or enter into joint
unit contracts, or other contracts
and leases, without prior consulta-
ton with the Naval Affairs Commit
tees of Congress.
The first requirement, in addition
to being Objectionable from the
standpoint of principle, ,>was appar-
