 Baseball officials and some pro football magnates, too, have in- sisted that, come what may, their leagues will continue. Branch Hickey, president of the Brooklyn club, says he will field a team of 1-year-olds, grandfathers and two headed pitchers. Tim Mara, owner of the New York Football Giants, threatens to use only men over 38. He has three of them already, in Arnie Herber, Ken Strong and Mel Hein.

 The war interrupted Andrejco's grid career after his junior year at Fordham, but he managed to get into three games with Dartmouth while in the V-12 program Marine Corps Chevron, San Diego, Calf.

Fighters Swamp Suffolk In Opener ofFAF Tourney,
 Play Westover Monday
Singer, Johnson Star for Bradley

ern District in the Firs+ Air Force Basketball Tournament,
 Westover has already defeated Hillsgrove while Bradley recently submerged Suffolk 58-27 at Brad ley Field. Both teams are in fine fettle for this game, and each will be fighting with all they have in order to represent this district in the quarter-finals to be held in New York some time in the near future. Mitchell Field with a veteran out fit is expected to cop the North Central championship and, will in turn, play the winner of the West ern District. Bradley draws bye on this deal, but will play the champion of these two districts if she is able to get by Westover, Monday night.
 Although this years Bradley quintet is not as seasoned as some we have had in the past, they make up for that in speed and aggressive ness. The starting lineup consists of Johnson at center, playing his second successive year at this posi- tion; Gutkowski at right guard, his second year at this position, also; Miller, left forward, new conner this season and real asset in the sharpshooting department; LeCicero, another veteran plays left guard well enough to keep even the best of them from piling up too many points; and finally, Singer, star right forward whose steady play has been instrumental in every Bradley victory this year. Not too much is known about the individuals on the Westover team, but it is safe to assume that they have a few boys that have seen action on some high classed teams in their time They have one man playing for them who only recent ly transferred from this Base, and who was high scorer on our bas- ketball team last year. His name is Denton Johnson and he is the fel- low our men will have to guard closely if they expect to win this game. Monday night is the night let's all get out there and cheer them to the Championship.

The governments edict closing all race tracks for the duration and it's order calling for reclassi- fication of all 4Fs in organized athletics may KO all sport in the LISA. for the duration. Tough, hey?
 Most people are most interested in the effect of the governments action on baseball. Last year the big league players batted the ball around to the edifcation of nearly 10 million customers. This year there may not be players enough to field 16 teams.
 Among the 4F players in base ball now subject to reclassification are Whitey Kurowski, Mort and Walker Cooper, Johnny Hopp, Harry (the Cat) Brecheen and Ted Wilks of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals; Phil Weintraub and Bill Voiselle of the New York Giants; Augie Galan, Dixie Walker and Manager Leo Durocher, of the Brooklyn Dodgers; Bob Elliot of Pittsburgh; Hal Newhouser and Paul Trout, of Detroit; Bucky Walters of Cincinnati, and Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves. If these men are drafted you'll see Ty Cobb back in left field for Detroit, Babe Ruth in right for the Yankees and Connie Mack behind the bat for the As.
 Boxers who are 4F or have been discharged from the service include Willie Pep, featherweight king; Ray Robinson, uncrowned welter- weight champion; Bobby Ruffin, Ken Overlin, Jake LaMotta and Maxie Shapiro. All these men are subject to new examinations.
 Among the pro football stars who may be army bound are Ward

STANDINGS
Cpl. Peter Ager Wins Bowl Games Contest

A newcomer to the ranks of football prognosticators, Pete Ager, Communications non-com, walked off with the book of theatre tickets in the BEAMS latest grid guess ing contest. The star-studded field of entries included former champ, Len Hardy, Finance whiz Jim Kiely and that perennial wrong guesser, Jimmie Maloof. In passing over the entries, it is interesting to note that Jack Batten, Finances chal- lenge to Maloof, won the hand crocheted roller skate for the as- founding feat of picking ALL wrong.
 Ager was wrong on one of the games, namely the Oklahoma A&M-TOU contest. However his scores were nearly perfect on the other games and far outstripped the rest of the field. Pete's master piece was in the Rose Bowl tussle which he practically hit right on the nose.

The Bradley Fighters defeated the Suffolk AAB, 57-26, in the opening game of the First Air Force tourney at the Base gym. Dewey Johnson, captain of the Fighters, climbed high into the air to get the first tap-off and from there on, until the final whistle, it was all Bradley. Johnson scored the first home points on fine hook shot and Gutkowski and Singer found the hoop with successful tries before the Suffolk men broke into the scoring column. At the end of the first quarter the board read, Bradley 16, Suffolk 3.
 The visitors spurted to start the second period and, sparked by Calvin, ran up nine points to the home teams pair with the score at the half, Bradley Is, Suffolk 12.
 The rest period brought new life to the Fighters, however, and, led by Singer, Johnson and Steele, shot after shot swished through the hoops until the home teams score doubled the visitors. At the end of the third quarter, Bradley led by a 32-23 margin, but in the final stanza, the Fighters surged through for 25 points to put the tussle far beyond the Long Island CTS reach.
 Gutkowski and LeCicero, two mighty midgets stood out on the defense for the home team while Johnson, Singer and Steele rang up basket after basket. Johnson was unstoppable under the basket as time and again he plummeted into the ozone to nab rebounding Suffolk tries.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-(NNPA)
Hopes for repeal OF the amend

given shot in the arm. last week
when Rep. Franck R. Havenner

grinned, the reputed Chinese pref

conquered Donors poured in with
much gaiety and noice. One hun
dred and ninety blood donations
were made that afternoon and the
next day. according to a report re-
cived this week by the Community

The first Chinese blood bank,
sponsored by United China Relief

initial supply Of plasma coming
from the United States.
