along with seven other voters
who picked EN- for the place or

On a basis Of three votes for
first place, two for second and
one for third, the Browns piled
up II points TO beat out Sam
Snead, golfer who came back
from two years in the Navy to
win the first tourney in which
he played. Snead, with 10 first

Fifty-tWo individuals and
teams came in for comeback at
tention by the scribes, but the
Browns, in boosting their 1890
Won-lOSt percentage Of 1913 into
an 1865 pennant winning mark
in IA, were clearly a standout.
The Browns, after losing the
league lead, swept the last four

Freshman
Leads TuIsa
in Bowl Tilt

TULSA, Okla, Dec. 2l-(P)-
A plnt-Sized freshman will lead
Tulsa'S veteran football Giants
against Georgia Tech in the
Orange Bowl game at Miami
New Years Day.
He's Perry Moss, a level-head-
ed, l58-pound tailback with an
accurate pitching arm, a solid
kicking toe and a pair of flying
feet. Moss steps into the field
generals post occupied two
years ago by Glenn Dobbs and
last year by Clyde LeForce.
Moss, the only Tulsa regular
who did not play against the En-
gineerS in the Sugar Bowl last
January, hasn't attained the all
around efficiency of a Dobbs or
LeFOrce but his coaches think he
has a brilliant grid future ahead,
The first year man calls the
signals, does most of the pass
ing, punting and placement kick
ing and is an elusive runner.
Little Perry is the brains of
the Tulsa backficld. The Drawn
is provided by fullback Camp
Wilson, 200-pound line crusher
who has been hitting the enc
my'S mid-Section at a siX-yards-
airy average all season.
Supporting these two ground
gamers are Ed Shedlocky at
Wlngback and rugged Charlie
Mitchell at b lock ing back,
rounding out the highest scoring
and most cOlOrful backfield in
the midlandS.
Red Wade, who has played in
two Sugar Bowl games with Mis-
souri, and Tulsa, and Bobby Jack
Stuart, speedy Freshman, are
Moss subs. Mitchell frequently
is replaced by Al KoWalski, a
2lO-pound senior, and 2lO-pound
Allen Smith relieves Wilson.

EorIy in Come

EAST DETROIT - After los
ing their first two games Of the
season, Mount Clemens Battling
Bathcrs' basketball team turned
in what might be classed as an
upset Tuesday when they down
ed the East Detroit quintet 25
TO 81 on the opponents court.
The Bather's were not first
to take the lead, however, nor
did they maintain the lead once
they were out in front. In the
fiIst quarter the ShamrockS
scored five points TO their oD-
ponent'S three but in the second
quarter the Bathers came back
with an attack that Melted eight
points, while East Detroit was
held to five, making the score
II to 10 in favor Of Mount Glenn
hands, but the BatherS frightened
ems at half time. The third
quarter saw the lead change
up their defense TO keep in
front 10 TO II. In the last quart
err, Mount Clemens managed 10
stay out Of trouble.
Both quintets played a tight
defense, Bather Coach Roy
Quinn stated and most shots
we're made under pressure in a
Is to 18 foot radius. The Sham
rocks employed a shifting zone
defense, going into the man-to-
man defnSe when the Bathers
were in their half Of the court.
Mount Clemens relied upon the
-to-man strategy through
out.
Last week the East Detroit
basketball team was edged out
by Port Huron only 10 to ID,
and hence, as Port Huron is
usually one Of the top teams IN
the state, the Bathers were not
too sure Of a victory over the
ShamroCkS last night.
The Shamrocks made 43 shots
fro m the field, sinking five Of
them, while Mount Clemens
made 10 baskets out Of 50 shots.
East Detroit was deadlier than
their opponents at the free
throws, however, as they scored
on II out of 18 foul shots, to
the Bathers' 5 out Of %. The
two high scorers of the evening
we're Smith, East Detroit center,
and Schroeder, Bather guard,
each with nine points.
In an earlier game the Mount
Clemens reserves beat the Sham
rock reserves % TO 10,
Mount Clemens: Manning,
forward, 3 pts; ViCkerS, for

 Perhaps the election result is simply protest against a Liberal Party which has been in power for 36 Of the past % years. Perhaps it is symptomatic of canadas wartime unrest.

A Thought for Today
Health Report

America has-at least we have fondly supposed ourselves to have-the highest standard of living in the world. Ameri- cans have an excellent life expectancy, bettered (according to the last prewar statistlcsl only by the residents of the Scandinavian countries, Holland, Aus tralia and New Zealand. Now, suddenly, there is deep concern about our national health. A gloomy diagnosis has been issued by a consultation of distinguished doctors and expert laymen, called by the Senate Subcommittee on Wartime Health and Education to thump the countrys chest and feel it's pulse.
 We can no longer regard ourselves as a sturdy, healthy nation: the country IS aillng," says Colonel Leonard Rowntree, medical director of Sclective Service. He brands American youth as "soft and flabby," instead of "a country of rugged, virile men" the draft examiners expected to find. Speaking of mental diseases, responsible for the rejection of one-fourth of our four million 4Fs, Major General Lewis Hershey, Selective Service chief, says, T cannot help feeling that you are just talking of democracy when such a condition exists"
 The situation is undoubtedly serious, but these statements contain implications that are likely to mislead. Apparently Colonel Rowntree means, in his first statement, that we are like seemingly healthy man who discovers throug ha physical checkup that he has lung spot or 6 tricky heart. It's nasty shock, but isn't it better to know about personal or national ailments. rather than be deluded until too late? And by what comparison are our youths soft and flabby? Are we. as a nation. softer than the enemies we arc defeating on the production front? Are the sufferers from heart disease for which they are not responsible, or from tuberculosis induced by OveTwork and undefn0urishment are the athletes with mllitarily serious defects all to be Jumped together in contemptuous inputatton Of deficient vlrllity?
 General Hershey reveals that 75 per cent of the million nlenlal reiectees were llrEt thought to be sound. but later showed that "theif emotions were in such state that they could not stand mod ern war" Isn't that rather a condemna. ton Of var than of denlocracys neglect2 Our national health can and must be improved, Let us go about 1t as well as we can nov, and thoroughly when the war is over But let's stop acting like bSeaet-beating supeFmen who regard Illness as personal weakness and shame. If ls tlresome, illogical, and unfair to too many people.

Lady Frances Has Her Points

Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, has what she thinks are l6 good points, despite the fact that she cannot use any of them at the grocery store or the meat market. Some of the points are point less.
 Seriously enough, the Secretary makes the official proposal to reduce the hours of labor to 90 hours a week "to spread the work. To do that the Presidents orders would have to be revoked - they abolish Sunday, holiday and overtime work. Mr. Roosevelt has been revOking Miss Perkins for l2 years; if she pro. volEes him that would be a good deal Of turn about Is fair play.
 Evidently she hadn't heard from the Governors Conference which condemned the intrusion of the United States Em- ployment Bureau into fields Of State employment agencies. Anyhow, she wants the U. s. Service to mcnopolize that field. It likely will.
 Good Lady Frances urges that the gov ernment make loans to business which can be converted quickly for the manu- fracture of civilian goods for which there Is a market. She also wants government aid for qualified groups on the land. and the development of scientific programs of assistance in planting and marketing. She recommends an increase of public works, and Government assistance in necessary housing construction and im- provement. She is all out in favor of anOrmal buying" through the use of war savings.
 "You can be assured that a workable postwar program will be developed" she told a Boston audience. Trust Lady Frances to find it out. first. It's rather refreshing to hear SO definitely from the lady who sits at the top of Labor in the Presidents Cabinet. Tell us some more, Lady Frances.
