President Edward p. Strong
of the Detroit Racing Associa-
ton announced Saturday that
at the request Of Racing Com
missioner William j. Bowling,
the profits of the last II days
OF the racing meet at the Fair
Grounds will be set aside for
the Detroit Community Fund.
The fund will distribute the
money to war and city charities.
'Tt 10 expected profits will ex-
ceed S50,000. Detroit fans,
through the track, gave $685.
28O.S7 last year when q 35-day
war relief meet was run. In
1912 the track gave $464, ,649.6S.
In 1e4S it was $81, ,3S6.10.
The d ecrease in estimated
profits from previous years
illustrates the increase in the
state racing tax which makes
the state the big winner at the
races every day. While the COM
munity fund is getting an esti-
mated $4,000 for the final II
days il is estimated the state
will take at least S240,o00 in

Grid Drills
Gembis TO Start
I4th Year Monday

Practice sessions for Wayne
University's twenty-eighth con-
secutive year of football and the
fourteenth under Coach Joe Gem
bis will open Monday afternoon
at Kelsey Field.
Although the Green and Gold
grid schedules during the past
two seasons were on the meager
side, GembiS kept the sport going
for those Tarts-s who wished to
play. BY continuing In spite OF the
difficult war conditions, Wayne
has become the only school In
Michigan with an unbroken rec
ord of civilian intercollegiate
football. In 1945 the Green and
Gold is scheduled for six games,
one more contest than has been
played since az.
MOSTLY FROSH
Those reporting Monday will be
for the most part young men who
were enrolled at Wayne last Sc
mester. Entering freshmen will be
busy with registration procedures
and are not expected until Sept.
II, the opening day of classroom
work. The middle of next week
should see the squad at full
strength.
At the present it appears that
Gembis will have to build his
squad around but eight men who
have ever competed for the Green
and Gold. Service discharges may
swell the list of experienced play
ers, but nothing will be known
about men in this category until
they appear on the campus.

that political unity of the helris
