With the ban horse racing and the ordering of re- examination of all professional athletes the T told so of cranks resound again. But hear anyone who has in the service who has actually seen service say anything about it.
 The main concern is how can man play hard football and baseball and still not be able to go the military vices From this corner the is quite simple because here in America kids don't train themselves for military duty.
 The first thing parents buy Is ball; sometimes baseball sometimes football and at other times just plain rubber ball. you live in the city, play in the playgrounds the community centers just right out the streets If you live in the suburbs hit for empty lot field When do these things you are training yourselves along athletic lines Here is proof Next year Gray from Hazeton Pa fellow who has an arm cut off, coming into the big leagues He has cut off above the wrist but despite this has developed into big league ball player Another example is Tulsa Unver sy guard who has made all the teams he went for winding in the Orange Bowl on New Years Day Do you think that this did take training do think that mastermnd coach made these boys? Oh no, 1t plenty of gus and sacrifice their part to make them that good.
 Some may be rejected for military service because of bad ankle and still these rejected athletes engage in stiff competition The for this when they play in they have the benefit of the skill and experience of trainer who before the game will make emergency repairs This is done with adhesive tape and to strengthen fragments to the extent that they with stand the shock of actual for an hour or so But who heard of only lasting that long? Besides surgeons and medical men have enough work on tne hands now without taking care of these fellows OUTSTANDING ATHLETE
