DRAFT LAW TO
BE EFFECTIVE
Delawareans To Be Called In
September After Two
Months Vacation
FOUR NEW DEFERMENTS

A backlog of Delawareans in the
10 to 29 age group, who have en-
joyed a vacation from the draft in
the past two months, will be called
next month, State Selective Ser
vice Headquarters indicated today.
Kent and Sussex residents have
been summoned to report to their
respective boards September 16.
Some May Volunteer
No indication of the number of
registrants who will report next
month can be given at this time,
it was stated at Selective Service
Headquarters, since some persons
eligible for the draft may volun-
teer for the services in the mean
time. In June, while the whole
future of the draft was up in the
air, only 6,400 men in the nation
were inducted. There were no
teen-agers among them. Congress
finally compromised on that issue
by exempting 18-year-olds but
those 10 were to be drafted. Dur
ing the July-August holiday when
the War Department asked no in
ductions, local boards have been
registering and classifying men be-
tween 18 and A under instructions
from Maj. j.-Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
national director, to limit defer
ments to individuals in activities
indispensable" to the national
existence"
New Deferments
Four new categories have just
been added to the list of those en-
titled to "most serious considera-
ton for occupational deferments.
They are college and university
teachers, home construction work.
ers, critical production and trans
portation workers. Previously local
boards were authorized to consider
deferments only for students in
medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine and osteopathy, and for
certain teachers and research
workers in physical sciences and
engineering. Fathers, certain cat
egories of veterans and essential
agricultural workers are deferred
by law. Eighteen-year-olds must
register but are not subject to in
duction until they reach 10.
None Over 80
For the present at least, the
Army says it wants no one over
30 The size of future draft calls
and the likelihood of meeting them
in seven months before the Selec-
tive Service Act is due to expire
March 81 seem certain to remain
guesswork for long time. The
Army estimates that $4,000 men
will volunteer for the regular
Army and that the draft must pro-
vide $4,000. General Hershey has
estimated that selective service
will fail by 10000 or so to meet
such a demand. However, the War
Departments advance calculations
of the number of volunteers admit
tedly are conservative and officials
say the $4,000 draft figure is an
outside" one.

Osmonski Said To Be Next Mentor

Boston, Oct. 21-CUP)-Bill Os- manSki, backfield star of the Chi cago Bears, was reported by the Boston Record today as likely suc- cessor next season to John (Ox) Da- groSa, head football coach at Holy Cross College.
 Osmanski was standout fullback at Holy Cross eight years ago. The newspaper claimed that he would sign a three-year contract running into five figures, but this has been denied emphatically by Athletic Di- rector Eugene Flynn 10 Holy Cross.
 Worcester, Mass, Oct. 21--(UP)- Athletic Director Eugene Flynn of Holy Cross College today denied published reports that Bill Osman- ski, backfield star of the Chicago Bears, would succeed John (Ox) Da GroSa as head coach at his alma mater next season.
 Flynn said he had not heard Os- manSkiS name mentioned in con- nection with any coaching position.
 Were satisfied with the job Da Grosa is doing for us" he said.
 Reports were that Osnlanski, a dentist who has not been playing regularly for the Bears this year, was preparing to move his practice to Worcester and take over the Holy Cross grim team direction.
 This is Da Grosa's second year as head coach at Holy Cross and his current team has won only one game while losing three. Last year, how ever, he piloted the Crusaders into the Orange Bowl.

Warriors BLanked By Southington

The Southington Gems "oil d briusing 12-O contest from the War riors yesterday afternoon at the southington Recreation Field before a small turnout of fans.
 The game was actually closer than the score indicated. The locals made eight first downs to the winners nine and generally held their more favored foes in check, except for two quick scoring thrusts.
 The Gems scored in the last two minutes of the first half, climaxlng an aerial drive with 30-yard pass; Wallace pitching to Kavanaugh In the end zone for the score. Again 1n the waning minutes of the game. the Gems capitalized on recovered tumble and a 15-yard penalty against the locals to score their sec- on.i touchdown, Calvert finally buck ing over after several tries at the line. Both of Kusek's placements were wide of the uprights.
 Got To II
 The Warriors most serious threat came in the fourth quarter. Unable to gain consistently on the ground, they took to the air. Tag Iannacone passed to Perroti for ten, F. Cannata for more and then connected with J. Cannata who took it over his shoulder and raced to the Gems eleven-yard line before being brought down from the rear.
 Vito Santoro, playing end in the absence of the injured Sam Ando- lina, was the defensive standout, while F. Cannata, Fortin and Champi did well extensively for the Warriors.
