TROOPS TO MIX
in SERVICE CLUBS?

BOSTON = (ANP) = Will the
proposed New Look" regarding
indignation in the u. S. Armed
forces mean the mixing of white
and colored troops, including draft
ees, In all camp clubs and USo
units at home and abroad? And
will that mean white and colored
hostess working together?
At Fort Devens here in New
England, the director of civilian
personnel is quoted as stating
fatty that there will not be any
segregation at Devens regarding
service clubs. The implication is
that there will not be any sepa-
rate clubs operated by all white
and all colored such as existed
during the last war, although Dew
ems did have mixed USO units
and generally was one of the
most democratic training camps
in the United States and has been
for years.
Nevertheless, the question Of
creating entirely integrated ser
vice club staffs is not yet an
swered. Even at Devens at this
writing, former colored service
club workers, including a former
director, have made inquiries to
ward serving on a mixed staff
but without any noticeable salts
faction.
Since Devens is one of the fore.
most training cites in the north
the "policy" here will be keenly
studied by leaders all over the
nation. 1t is generally expected
that both Devens and the Cape
camp ((Edwards) will reflect the
first trend of any proposed new
democratic change in the armed
forces. 1t was at Edwards that the
mixed New Jersey 372nd artillery
unit made its training debut this
year. Here in New England is
the logical place to push integra-
ton in the army, navy, and air
force.

A Short Short Story

A Short Short Story
TT WAS too cold to be perfect football wealth
snow flurries before the day was over. Dan
shrugged imperceptibly as his companion
swung the big sedan from the cut off highway
into the entrance to College Station. He
wished he had found some way of evading
this afternoon. But there were 50 many things
in his life he continually strove to evade that
occasionally he had to accept an uncomfort-
able situation. Lately he had begun thinking
about evading the whole dreary pattern of
his life at one stroke.
On the surface, his situation was far from
hopeless. He was involved in no unpleasant
personal entanglements. He had no ruinous
financial obligations. His job, in the adver-
tising division of an automobile company.
was steady. But he had spent years on the
same rung of the ladder while younger men
of lesser ability had climbed past He knew
that his wife realized he had never fully
exploited his opportunities. The thing that
lived inside him for thirty-six years had
robbed him of the ambition and spirit that
would have brought real success.
College Station, he saw, had changed since
his last visit; there was new veterans hous-
ing development here at the end of Chenenga
Drive The town had changed since 1912.
INSTANTLY it was with him again, breaking
down every frail defense his mind strove to
erect against it, the whole agonizing story
flooding through in a single moment He was
standing on the sidelines, listening to his
field - the old field, not the new million
dollar stadium White for McIlhenny," he
snapped to the referee. He took up his posi-
ton as safety man, his mind full of the play
he was to give the signal for as soon as the
University got the ball. Minnesota was in
punt formation. =. A good kick, high, end
over end coming down near the goal line .
He drifted back with it. :. Should he catch
it or let it roll? He caught it. nicely over his
shoulder, and found he was in the end zone.
He started out, got just across the line, and
changed his mind. That was the terrible blum
der, the fatal error - what sports writer's had
called the greatest boner in football history.
Too late he had realized it, tried to get out of
the end zone again, been smothered by Min
nesota tacklers. 1t was safety, and the game
ended four minutes later with the score to O
in favor of Minnesota. The University had
lost its first football game in four years, its
first Western Conference title in six A famous
coach's great winning streak had been broken.
In fact, as one sports writer ponti6cally put
it, football era had come to an end
Dan White had never played football again.
For the rest of that year. everywhere he had

recite, dead hush had fallen. One Latin
professor had even omitted calling on him all
semester. His fraternity brothers had tried to
cheer him up; so had his teammates. Their
false heartiness had been worse than open
censure. The following fall he had not re-
turned to school.
In ALL the years afterward he had never been
able to get away from the fatal boner. For
years, not football season had passed with
out some sports writer recalling the famous
incident of 1912. But worse than the sting of
these reminders had been the dead weight of
remembrance inside himself, the sense of de-
feat. of failure, of inadequacy.
Once, few years ago, he'd made coura-
geous effort. He'd accepted an invitation to
class reunion. The very first evening, he'd
walked into the Mems Club lobby lust a.
some clown with couple of drinks in him
recalled the play and was acting it out. Dan
had turned around and left got in his car
and driven away. That was the last time
he'd been in College Station.
He wouldn't be back now except that he
hadn't been able to find graceful excuse to
give Bill Bailey, Bill knew about 1912, but
Bill was one of those bluff, hearty. salesman
types for whom the day before yesterday is
already medieval history, and it was useless to
try to explain the thing to him.
As they struggled through the crowd to
their Seats Dan scarcely had time to compare
the huge new stadium with the old field before
the whistle blew and the ball was kicked off,
Minnesota opened up with a pass on first
down. Dan sat up. He hadn't seen much of
the new kind of football, and he found it in
teresting. All this passing the ball around in
the backfeld-why, in the old days the coach
had only taught them a dozen plays for the
whole season.
He found himself on his feet with everybody
else when University back got loose and
scored the first touchdown.
At half time. with the University ahead,
l4-7, he thought of something 1t sounded
silly, but he lowered his voice and asked Bill,
How many games have we lost this year,"
Bill looked at him in surprise 1--WE haven't
lost any," he said We'll win the Conference
championship and go to the Rose Bowl If we
win todayp'
Dan settled back. That would be nice
trip for the boys. he thought.
Early in the fourth quarter Minnesota tied
up the game on a triple-pass play. Dan
groaned with the rest of the stands
Hallway through the quarter the Univer-
sity team began a drive. Steadily, as the
crowds tension mounted, Minnesota was
pushed back AS first down was made on

stands was on his feet
