M9%rnN9,
BY M/sGT. KEN MILLER

This is a story Of a fighter. The
story OF man who has met oppo.
sition in one form or another since
he was a youth Of 16 and overcome
them all.
His name is Jerry Grief. He's a
first lieutenant in the Army All
Forces and now stationed at Camp
Davis.
Lieutenant Grief is a big mar
with the features and physique oil
a prize fighter. And that is just
what he was before he received
his Greetings from the Presi
dent" How he became a profes.
sional fighter and his proves in
the squared circle" belong on the
sporting pages. Suffice it to say
he entered the Golden Gloves in
1884 to prove to his parents he was
capable of taking care Of himself.
And he won the novice title in the
light heavyweight division in New
York. Then he turned professional
and became one of the leading
heavyweight cOntenderS.
But Jerry Grief was not one to
let prize fighting become his sole
vocation. Aviation interested him
and between fights he learned to
repair airplane engines. When
those jobs were not available he
went to work on construction jobs,
building army camps. During 1899.
the second year of the New York
World Fair, he even managed one
of the largest restaurants on the
fairgrounds.
In 1941 he was drafted and plac-
ed in the infantry as $21--a-month
private. Because he had had no
formal education beyond the eighth
grade Jerry Grief was reluctant
about applying for aviation cadet
at the time of entry into the army.
After more than a year Of in
fantry training Private Grief Over
came his doubts and entered a
competitive examination for avia-
ton cadet. He made the grade and
was sent to navigation school at
Hondo, Texas. He graduated as
cadet colonel of his class. That
honor is reserved TO- the man who
maintains the highest grades for
the course.
Then Lieutenant Grief was sent
to the south Pacific for combat
duty. He became lead navigator
for a B-24 Bomb group and flew
420 combat hours in 60 missions. In
the 10 months he spent overseas
he met the Japs at New Guinea,
Dutch East Indies and the Philip
pines. His group was one of the
many that bombed the way for
General MacArthurs return to Ma
Mia and Jerry Grief led the bomb
ers to the targets.
His length of service and deco
rations have earned Lieutenant
Grief more than 100 points toward
a discharge. He has no plans fo~
civilian life, other than taking
long rest, when his turn comes for
leaving the service. 49,.

Soul And Body
Is Lesson-Sermon

70 "Soul and Body was the subject
Of the Lesson-Sermon in all Christ.
ian Science Churches and Societies

The Golden Text was from
Psalms 104: ). BLESS the Lord, @
my soul, o Lord my God, thou art
very great; thou art clothed with

Among the citations W h h
comprised the Lessons e m o n
were the following from the Bible
make joyful noise unto the Lord

gladness: come before his pres

The Lesson-Sermon also includ-

Science and Health with Key to

identity of the real man is not lost,
but found through this explanation;
for the conscious infinitude OF ex-
istence and of all identity is there
by discerned and remains unchang-

The move will involve an at

Plans Completed For State
Home Coming Against Lincoln
By J. n. Howard

Pine Bluff.-Spirits are run
ming high here at State this week
end as the word goes around that
States defeat of Sam Huston on
a sloppy field here Saturday, 60,
is indication that the boys may
have something when the Lincoln
Tigers journey here next week to
help celebrate Homecoming.
However, fingers are crossed until
the final score comes out of Mus
kogee, Oklahoma, where State
meets Langston in a night game
there Saturday.
The committee on Homecoming
arrangements for November "a,
has completed final plans for the
usual Homecoming demonstra-
tIons plus some new and unique
attractions. The celebration will
start Friday night when the stu
cents open up with a pep meet
ing and bonfire on the college
campus. This will be followed
by the annual stunt Night" a
program made up of talented stu
dents throughout the community.
After the program, the Alumni
and friends will hold their Alumni
Ball in the college gym.
Saturday the Alumni Banquet
will be held in the dining hall.
The parade, which is expected to
be the most unique attraction of
tie day, will get underway before
game time, Fifty decorated cars
and floats, including the Corbin
High school bugle corps and the
college band will take part in
this gala affair. Between halves
Miss Arkansas State and Miss
Alumni will enter the stadium on
decorated floats and receive the
crowns which will make them
rulers of the day.
The main features of this years
Homecoming will be the Alumni
Prom and Miss Alumni" activi-
ties, both sponsored by the Alum
nj for the purpose of raising funds
fol the completion of Bell Tower
which is now under construction
on the college campus.
Coaches Allen and Hynes are
putting their charges through a
heavy workout this week, and
despite the power of Lincoln, the
general feeling is that State will
be in there fighting until the
end. Such men as Hank" De
laney, who certainly should be
considered in the national all
American poll pass snatcher"
Babbs, Thurman and Branton,
two youngsters who have shown
a great deal of fight this season,
and Freeman, sensational tackle
who has stood his ground with
the best of them in the Southwest
this season, should come through
for the Lions.
