Wars OF the Department Of
Michigan will be solidly behind
IL.
II Is something that the gov
eminent can well afford 10 do"
Carl Matheny, state commander
of the Department of Michigan
of the American Legion, urged
veterans groups 10 start plan
ming and discussing the memorial
Immediately.
IL think il Is an excellent
suggestion" Matheny asserted,
land l think that all veterans
groups should begin planning
and discussing such a memorial
now.
There were 80 many men In
so many different branches OF
the service In this past war that
II would be only fitting that the
memorial be dedicated to the
many unknown warriors who
died unidentified In the field Of
battle regardless of where 10
was"
MRS. BENJAMIN PLEASED
Mrs. w. o. Benjamin. state
president of the American Legion
Auxiliary, termed it a "splendic
idea"
ut would embrace all the
thousands who fell in this past
war who will remain unidenti-
fled forever and would be
constant source Of comfort to
the women they left behind"
she said.
Mrs. s. p. Ecclestone. president
Of the local chapter of the Cole
Star Mothers of the Veterans ol
Foreign Wars, said that she per
sonally thought such memoria
would be a wonderful thing"
Mrs. Ecclestone said that the
proposal would be discussed with
other members Of the chapter anC
appropriate measures taken Il
make their feeling known ir
Washington.
The idea was particularly ap-
pealing 10 the Navy Mothers ol
Detroit.
FITTING TRIBUTE
Mrs. Violet Kerwin, president
said.
II, along with numerous
other navy mothers, some Of
them with sons lost In the serv-
ice of their country, have felt
that the Unknow Soldier
memorial more or less excluded
the navy's unidentified dead. A
memorial dedicated to the Un-
known Warriors would be
fitting tribute TO all men In all
branches of the service
Walter Shell, state adjutant OF
the Disabled American Veterans
said:
II think II merits every con-
sideration. II seems to me that
IL would be the only proper way
to pay tribute TO those who
gave their lives on the conti-
nent of Europe, on the high
seas and on the south Pacific
islands. Such a memorial would
cover them ALL"

This Sporting World ,
Believe or Doubt
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

If you were a parent of a high school boy who GREY NINE INCHES WITHIN ONE YEAR, what would you do about 1t? For one thing, you might become a little scared as the growth continued, all out of proportion to the boys age and weight, while the doctors pom dered the REASON for such an odd visitation of Mother Nature.
 All that and more happened to baseball pitcher George Taylor, attached to the New London Sub- marine Base and more recently
 inner of the first game played by the Waterbury Tribunes in the AAABA tournament at,Harrisburg Pa. Taylor, now a 6 foot blond, curly-.:laired boy from the Hoosier state of Indiana, Is a Navy man who makes quite a picture in his "blues" or whites" for he IS handsome, tai and has a genial disposition and western "drawl" that is as soothingpas the guitars on the beach at Waikiki.
 George halls from Indianapolis and is 8 high school graduate. Both parents are small people, physically and so was he through his freshman high school year, 5 feet 2 inches tall, to be exact. When he reported for sophomore studies, he was 5-l1 and weighed 53 pounds more than the previous year. Doctors, specialists in glan- d,ilar activity (growth of a hu- man is based on activity of the pituitary gland) and others put their noggins together, but noth- ing happened except the general exclamation: tits unbelievable!" Best of all no harmful after-ef- fleets took place, for today George is normal in every respect and conclusive proof as to why such a sailor could have "a girl in every port"

Red Sox Slump

Boston, Sept. 13 = lUP) - The Red Sox were mired in another of their periodic batting slumps today having garnered only six hits in their last two games.
 They collected but four yesterday in lowing to St. Louis Browns 9-2 at Fenway Park. Righthander Bob Muncrief of the Brownies didn't allow 8 hit until the sixth when Eddie Lake poked a single to left. EinSles by Johnny Lazor and George Metkovich. and Bob John sons triple accounted for a pair of runs in that frame. but Muncrief got the next nine men to win hand fly.
 One big inning - the fourth - sealed the Sox doom, and one mis- play made 1t possible. With three on and two out, Muncrief hoisted a routine fly to Leon Culberson in center field. Culby completely mis- judged the ball, moved in too far and then fell as he attempted to make the catch. Three runs crossed the plate. Junior Stephens 22nd homer with Lou Finney aboard drove in two more St. Louis mark CTS.
 Ancient Mike Ryba, seeking his seventh straight victory, was charged with the defeat. Clem Hausmann took over in the fifth.

Dokos, IT,, New YoIe
 Grid'Find'

New Haven, Sept. 13-There was Q dazzling aerial circus on display yesterday at Yale's football prac- tice field with a slim-built 17-year old freshman quarterback cracking the whip as ringmaster.
 The artful almost-to good o-be- true exhibition was given by Art Dakos, who during a scrimmage session flung pin-point passes into the hands of receivers exactly ii times in an even dozen tries.
 It's far too early in the season to establish the youthful Dakos as another potential Johnny Lujak termed by Yale's backfield coach Creighton Miller, a teammate, as Notre Dame's greatest passer, even better than Angelo Bertelli-al- though he's built along the same lines--tall, agile, quick and the pos- sessor of large pair of hands, all necessary attributes.
 Scrimmaging against a third team, Dakos whipped a pair of aerials into the hands of Paul Walker, Yale captain and one of the nations outstanding ends, for all-the-way gains, tossed another to halfback Bill Penn for similar yard- age and then dumped a pair into the clutches of Jimmy Smith, the lad scheduled to hold down the wing berth opposite Walker.
 Continuing to shoy no preference among receivers a few moments later the dark-haired civilian fresh- man proved equally effective with pair of second team flankmen- Ted Lilley and Dave Hoopes, the latter the younger brother of the l943 gridiron captain of the Bull dogs.
 Should young Dakos succeed as an aerial artist, 1t will be a hand some dividend paid by the com bination of effort and hard work because prior to a few weeks ago he had never thrown e pass, never played in T-formation and had nev. ser held down a backfield post.
 For the past two years Dakos has been an end-and Q good one at that-with Lowell (Mass.) high school-but there was no immediate need for him in this department as Coach Howie Odell has back in the Yale fold his two 1944 regulars and two other letter-winners last sea- son.
 Dakos was also a sparkling school boy basketball player, one who knew how to handle a ball, and for this reason ne was selected by Odell to back up Lou Saverese, tentative first team drum major to this point. Daily Odell has worked with him, worked with him patiently as with the idea he would serve as 'insur- ance" should anything happen to Saverese.
 After all," said Odell, wearing a smile a mile wide after the practice, Art is just youngster who lacks form and a lot of other things, but he does look like a conner when 1t comes to whipping that ball around"
 It's even possible that Saverese will become Dakos' insurance.

Zomperini, Troek Star, Jop Survivor

Okinawa, Sept. 13 - (UP) - It. Louis Zamperini, one of Americas all-time standout track stars, won his greatest race against death by surviving 47 days aboard a life raft in the Pacific, but he never will run comparatively again, doctors said today.
 Zamperini, liberated by U. s. oc- cupation forces from the Niigita prison camp on the western coast of Honshu, is in weakened condi- ton from malnutrition, unable to gain back more than a portion ot the weight he lost.
 Thought Dead
 His plane, a Liberator bomber, crashed near Palmyra Island in the Pacific in May of l943 and after some time he was listed as missing and given up for dead. Seven flyers were killed, but Zamperini and two others survived. One of the three. a tail-gunner, died on the raft. The raft drifted to the Marshall Islands where the Japs captured It. Russell Phillips of Princeton, Ind, and zamperini.
 Zamperini. holder of the National Collegiate mile record of 4:083, the Pacific Coast conference mark of 4:ll and the IC4A mark of 4:ll, probably never will regain the strength in his legs to negotiate the distance at competitive speed. the doctors said.
