Many veterans guilty Of such
neglect are those who were not

discharge and subsequent mar

them named their mother or

In many instances, ths IvC
said, parents have voluntarily
turned over the insurance TO wi.

cases where the beneficiary 9TH

Pro Football Starts
In Glass Bowl Aug. II

Toledo's only professional
football attraction rolls up again
this season the night of Saturday,
August IL, and it promises to
outshine any of its predecessors
as the Cleveland Browns tie
into the Green Bay Packers in
the University OF Toledo Glass
Bowl. The game again will be
sponsored by the Toledo Times
Youth Welfare Fund.
1t will mark the first meeting
of teams from what used to be
the National Football League
and the All-American Confer
ence, the Browns and Packers
now playing under the common
NIL banner. The expectation is
that the game will mark a high
point in Toledo's grid history
with a sellout crowd foreseen,
including many visitors from out
of town.
Tickets went on sale Monday
at Lindel's Jewlery Co., and the

Covert-O Ohio Co., in downtown
Toledo. They also are available
by mail order from the Times.
All reserved seats are priced at
$3.50 and general admission at
S1.50, tax included.
The Times contest has a brief
but highly colorful history. The
first game, played in 1913, saw
the Browns, now four-times
champions of the AAC, lose their
only start of the season as the
Baltimore Colts came from be-
hind with a thrilling last-min-
ute touchdown to snatch a 21-17
decision.
Last year the Chicago Hornets,
led by Toledo's Bob Chappius,
met the Browns but were van
quished, 2l-0, in a game more
hotly contested than the score
indicates.
Both clubs will field all their
stars, those picked for the Chi
cago All-Star game the proceed
ing night returning to the ranks
for the Toledo adventure.
