IMPORTANCE OF TEAM WORK

Red Grange, Tommy Harmon, Herb Joesting, Albie Booth, Fudge Heffelinger or more recently Ed die McGovern, Jim Secrest, Bob Steuber, Frankie Sinkwich, Gene Fekete, Mike Joovak, Bob Ken nedy, Angelo Berteli-all these were or are football headliners. Yet they themselves are the first to admit that while they carried the ball to the touchdowns and the crowds acclaim it was only the teamwork of their ten mates, every man carrying out his assignment plus that extra something labelled "the old college try" that made their scintillating feats possible. Back in the days when Knute Rockne's -Four Horsemen" were in there clearing the way, and who doesn't remember Fordham's "sev- en blocks of granite ?"
 Any coach will tell you that he would rather have an eleven man team functioning with precision and coordination than the best All-American that ever donned a cleat with ten other individuals all trying to win the game single handed.
 So it is in the deadly game for
 
 which we are not holding scrim- mage practice. The stakes are life and death, freedom or slavery, not only for ourselves but for those we cherish and our American Way of Living. Our Air Force is our first team and our pilots "carry the ball" upstairs but they are ab- solutely dependent on their block ers-the hangar mechanics, techni- clans and other personnel whose job it is to see that conditions are perfect. Dogfights are not won with empty ammo belts, conked out motors or defective radios. Our job is to clear the way and the flying crews take over from there. There will be no cheering stands "Over There, but we will all take pride and feel a fierce jog in know, ing that our job was we'll done and that our team was the one that scored the victory. In that sense we can all be ALL AMERICANSp

 Next man to add to Lippy's woes was Deacon Branch Hickey, the great Brain of our ball club, who ruled that servicemen couldn't come and see our Buns lose for free on weekends or holidays un- til they applied to him personally for a free seat in the bleachers. This move of the Brains made the sports writers sore at our Buns and was a blow at esprit de corps both that of the Army and that of the Lip. As one dejected GI re- marked after watching us drop pair to the Phils: "I just seen the Buns play. It's bad for my mor- ale"
 All this trouble began to de- press poor old Lippy to such an extent that his voice was impair ed. And when Lippy can't holler, he's very seriously handicapped, The low point was reached one day in May when we dropped one to the Braves and Lippy was so dejected that he didn't even scream once at an umpire There wasn't happy heart in all Brooklyn that night.
 Recently, however, things have started to brighten. The Brain has come up with a good kid at second, name of Eddie Basinsk, and he just purchased the contract of an experienced shortstop, Ed Stanky a persona non erata with the Chi cago Cubs. Dixie Walker, the peo- ple's choice, is whaling the cover off the ball, and Rube Melton, a quaint character from Tobacco Road, finally won ball game.
 We took two straight last week and while we were winning the second. our dandy little manager got trun out of the park by Big George Magurkurth, loveable um- pire. Bells pealed in Brooklyn that night for Lippy was himself again

Bradley Fighters Schedule Five Contests This Week

The Bradley Fighters run into the toughest stretch in their sked this week when they cross bats with five of the hottest teams now operating in this vicinity.
 This afternoon, the New London Submarine Base sends it's crack outfit here to do battle with the Airnen. Slick Johnson will, in all probability, toe the slab for the Bradleyites, while the tin-fsh-men will have their star hurler primed for the setto. In all probability,

Artillery outfit from Fort Rodman, New Bedford, Massachusetts, visits this Base for a tussle with the Fighters A good crowd is expected to witness these fast boys in ac- tion. ..-
 The following day, the Fighters will travel to Newport, Rhode Is- land, to clash with the Sunset All Stars, and on the sixth, the Fight CTS are to engage the Camp Endi- colt nine at Davisville.
 Winding up this rough series, the Fighters will travel to Waterbury to take on the Waterbury Brasscos on Saturday, July eighth, in a night game.
 The team is wallowing around at 800 percentage at present, but the boys are starting to click as a unit and from here on in, it should be clear sailing. The team plays better when a large number of G.I.s turn out to see them and to root for them. This week will give the men on this Base an opportun- ity to see their nine in action against some of the stiffest com- petition scheduled. How about it, men?

eral, in a six page article,
The Wichita police department
in keeping with that spirit, pro-
ceeded to arrest seventy-five Ne
gro men in one night, upon ord
ers issued by the assistant chief
of police to arrest every Negro
man n Wichita looking suspi-
cious'. This action, with various
stories about Negroes which were
run repeatedly in the local press,
aroused much comment from
civiv leaders of both races.
The recent arrest Of several
Wichita newspapermen for pro-
Nazi activities leads many to be-
lieve that not all Of the Nazi
connections have been broken in
Wichita. 1t is we'll known that
any racial outburst in this big
plane center will delay produe-
ton of planes that may save thou
