"Nou can't divide a man into
his moral, mental and physical
natures; you've got TO judge
him aS whole. Therefore,
why should cadets rank be
determined solely by his
schola site marks ."
II took Elmer a year and 9
half 10 put over his idea. but
once he Swayed the institution to
his way of thinking, his logic
stuck.
Ever since then. West Point
has rated its cadets not only as
students but as athletes and
souls and has made a participa-
ton in athletics compulsory.
Oliphant. who might be in the
headlines as a war hero himself
had he stuck 10 a military career,
spent from 4 10 6 o'clock every
afternoon on athletics when he
was al West Point, yet managed
10 act as Sunday school super
intendent for four years. attain
a good scholastic rating and win
letters in four sports.
He became West Points beau
ldeal-the cadet who had
sound mind i'm a sound body,
with a clean soul.
It's hardly any wonder that
the classes OF his era--particu-
lsrIy the famous class of 1918
turned out - many generals
and other high ranking officers.
IKE PLAYED BALL
Recently, Gen. Eisenhower re-
vealed that before gong to West
Point, he had played Ia games
as a professional for the Great
Bend team in the Kansas state
Baseball League under the name
of Wilson. He was an outfielder.
In football he was an outstand-
ing West Point haifbaCk.
Gen. Omar n. Bradley, lke'S
great right-hand man, was one
of West Points greatest baseball
players. Oliphant says Brad
could have made the big leagues
had he gone in for II as a career.
Like Ike. he was an outlelder.
He batted third in the West Point
lineup and Oliphant was the
cleanup kid Omar could throw
a baseball 400 feet. He also was
a great football player at the
academy.
Gen. Jakey Devers was foot
ball. baseball and basketball man
al West Point, besides acting as
graduate manager Of athletics.
Big. Gen. "Red O'Hare, on Ike's
staff, was a guard on the football
team. Mai. Gen. Charles Chuck
Gebhardt, commander of the 26th
Infantry Division, was quarter
back or the football team and
third haSeman on the West Point

SUGAR RATION END GETS
SETBACK IN WORLD SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 -
Hopes for an early end of sugar
rationing were given a setback to-
night when a department of agri-
culture survey revealed that world
stocks next year will be several
million tons below demand.
The survey said that, even with
the -1,600,000-ton "sugar bonanza"
recently uncovered in Java, the
deficit in production areas will be
so great that the shortage will con-
tinue critical.
The survey estimated that by
Jan. l stocks in Cuba and Puerto
Rico will not exceed 100000 tons
the lowest figure since rationing
was started. These areas supply
sugar for' the heavily populated
northeastern states.
There may be some relief for
consumers if negotiations between
the agriculture department and
Cuban growers materialize, but
not until next spring. Talks are
underway regarding the 1945-46
crop.

SAYS VETS RIGHTS
ABRIDGED IN
LEGION CHARTER STAND

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10
(ANP)-Rights Of Negro veter-
ans have been abridged by the
American Legion's refusal to
grant them charter rights in five
southern states.
That stand was taken here by
the National Baptist veterans in
stating their policy. The Rev. Ber-
tram E. Barton, commander-in-
chief, said:
"Since the American Legion and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars of
the United States are supposed to
issue charters to any group of vet
Grams who served under the Amer
lean flag and are honorably dis
charged or whose present military
services are honorable, regardless
of rsee, creed or color or previous
conditions Of servitude.
Their past and present tend
ency to differentiate in many of
the southern states when the per-
sonnel is colored is directly against
the principles Of these organiza-
tions and against the principles for
which congressional charters were
granted them"
The National Baptist veterans
organized because the "constitu-
tional rights of colored veterans
are abridged" said Barton.

many of the country's leading
heavyweight boxers during his
ring career several years ago, was
sentenced to serve five months in

this week on charges Of conspiring
to steal. Two other men received
sentences of one year and three
months at the same time. One Of

jury last September Of conspiring
to steal 80 pouches Of mail which
