book to work up his gridders to a
fighting pitch. o..
Il believe the old pep-talk stuff
will be a waste of time and energy
after the war" Simons said, "es-
pecially If there are several boys on
the team who have been in combat"
Many Of our postwar football
players will have seen plenty of ac-
ton under fire." Simons continued,
land believe it is going to be vir-
tually impossible to key them up
for football game after what they
have been through"
The Tulane mentor thinks coaches
will have to spend their time after
the war, even up to the last minute,
planning the teams attack. Some
of that is done now, but I think
We'll have to do more of it after the
war" he said.

Grid Pep Talk Seen as Useless
On Vets by TuIune's Simons

Between the halves talks will
continue in about the same vein as
presently, Simons believes, with the
coaches pointing out flaws in their
own attack and weak spots in the
opposition's defenses.
AS to the place of the veteran in
football, Simons predicts the out
come will depend on the veterans
ability to rehabilitate himself and
also to the type of service he has
seen.
However, it's a cinch they will all
be more hardened and ready for the
game than are the younger boys we
are getting now" Simons said. "The
serviceman is subjected to a more
rigorous training and will be far
better qualified physically for foot
ball.
1T seems to me that his football
experience before the war, plus the
fact that he is now more mature,
should make up for any lack of
enthusiasm he might have
But as for keying a veteran up
for a football game-well, I just
think that's going to be an impos-
sibility"

When the Old Dominion Kennel
Club embarked on course of do
mating the major part of its show
profits to charity, it had no thought
of increasing its own treasury there
by: In fact, the consensus of the
members indicated that there was
no desire for large kennel club
treasury as experience had proved in
other kennel associations that the
possession of good balance in the
bank led to pickering in the club
However, it seems the more the Old
Dominion gives away, the stronger
its own bank balance grows, which
seems to be another illustration of
the parable of casting bread upon
the waters.
Having made rather more than
anticipated at it's last sanction
match, the Old Dominion Kennel
Club voted at its last meeting to
send substantial sum to the vet
Grams hospital at Pawling, New

This is the hospital which is doing
such excellent work in recondition-
ing men through the use of pure
bred dogs. The kennels are needed
to house dogs of the enlisted men
who may not keep their dogs in

who take the dogs with them when
they leave the hospital.
