outstanding serviceman in its annual
indoor track and field meet at Mad
ison Square Garden.
Who will be the best G. 1. in the
meet?"
That was the question the big
blond kid from Minnesota asked. He
had tried TO make one of those
mighty Minnesota football teams and
failed. But he was a real all Amer
lean for Uncle Sam.
1t gave the New York A. c. men
an idea. SO they held a vote and
the ornate trophy went to Mac

safely. He barely beat out Fred Sick
