Why Not DC. Stadium
For Army-Air Force?

OUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL picture,
which can stand it, is all the brighter for
the invasion of the Air Force Academy on
Saturday, when the Falcons play Maryland
at College Park. At the same time it's a
meeting which calls up anew a vexing stu
alton as far as the rah-rah bluffs are con-
cerned.
Unofficial spokesman have been sug-
costing for years that the Air Force Acad-
envy would like to play occasionally in
Washington. Navy already inquired as to
the possibility of playing two of its home"
games-PittSburgh this season and Georgia
Tech the next-in the Capital. It follows
that Army, the other member of the Big
Three of the service schools, wouldn't mind
appearing here.
They're all Stymied, as you know, by
the long-term contract the Redskins signed
with the Armory Board, pact which pre-
vents college or any other team from US
ing D. C. Stadium the day before a pro
game. Not even the Interhigh League title
game will be staged in the big park but,
rather, at Cardozo. The difference in seat
ing capacity is approximately $4,000.
-
WHETHER THE SETTING Of a school,
boy game should be major league, with
perhaps $4,000 watching, is an issue that
has been discussed pro and con. Even if it
were unanimously agreed that it would be
as healthy an atmosphere, not to men
ton far more lucrative, nothing could be
done. Without the Redskins permission,
the kids couldn't play under all circum-
stances.
Army has been the only service school
to play in D. C. Stadium to date That was
last year, when the Cadets agreed with
alacrity to move their engagement with
George Washington from West Point to
the Capital. The Redskins conveniently
were out of town that week end.
Although there was no reasonable as
Surance of close contest the Cadets drew
well. 1t was pageant to be remembered,
change-up from the Stereotyped pro do
ingS, and West Point officials left the de-
finite impression that they would welcome
an opportunity to return, If not against
Navy Ia game that's committed to Phila-
delphia) then against the Air Force or
some other attractive opponent.
ARMY AND AIR FORCE play this No
vember at Chicago. But the Cadets and
Falcons are scheduled again in 1865 for "a
neutral site" Name a more neutral site
than Washington.
Bob Peck, advance delegate from the
Falcons home base at Colorado Springs,
will not presume to comment on the AT
Academys enthusiasm for periodic visits

combination Of 1852.
The winning horses in yes

Sam said he bought 80 81
tickets yesterday. He had Save

extra tickets on Shining Day,

After Faultessa won and
paid $33, Ochs was left with

the seventh race.
MY friends told me before

beat this horse Flicker Foot,
and I said, Well, I'm going to
try and beat him. I'm saving
one for Footloose.
Footloose led the entire six

a quarter over Flicker Foot and
paid Sl4.40. Sam was left with

sports, tn number Of games to
be played, the scheduling of
games to avoid conflict with
home work, etc.
The two agreements that
received the greatest attention
are the elimination of athletic
scholarships and of poSt-season
games. While the matter of
giving athletic scholarships
might appear by itself to be
harmless, there is always the
danger that desire to produce
winning teams might lead to
abusive practices of competitive
recruitment, which would be
completely out of place in
dealing with eighth and ninth
grade boys. Also, unqueStion-
ably post-season games place
a burden on schools and their
students by prolonging the sea-
son and by turning the purpose
of scholastic athletics into a
Embarrassing project.
To Maintain Relations
THE principals Of the mem
Der schools of the Catholic
League have announced their
intention of continuing their
athletic programs not only with
games between the member
schools, but with non-league
school teams. In this manner
they expect to maintain the
fine association they have al
ways enjoyed with public
schools and other private
schools of the area within the
regular schedule Of games.
1T seems to me that the
agreement Of the principals
can best be evaluated by an
swering the following ques-
tons:
81. What Is the purpose of
interscholastic athletics?
%. Can that purpose be full
filled with post-season games?
"3. Can the purpose be full
filled without athletic Scho-
larships?
q. Do post-season games
and athletic scholarships pro-
grams risk a possible abuse or
excess?
Since I believe that the pur-
pose of interscholastic athle-
tics can very well be fulfilled
through the procedures out
lined by the principals with
out the disadvantages that
could result from post-season

MSgr. Spence met Tuesday
with the principals Of Carroll.
DeMatha, GonZaga, Mackin,
O'Connell and st. Johns. He
issued the following statement
today: -...
The Metropolitan Catholic
League was formed by a group
of Catholic high schools for
the purpose Of co-ordinating
interscholastic athletic compe-

league is not compulsory. At
the present time, five Of the

Principals Responsible

feel is best for their students.
THE judgement Of the prin-
cipals at their recent meetings
is that there should continue
to be a good strong inter-
scholastic athletic program, but
that some guidelines should be
laid down to prevent abuses and

the advantages of the pro-

There are some folks at the
Air Force Academy. those in
charge of the nicknames, who
refer to this years team as
Terry and the Pirates" This
has something to do with the
comic strip, but more to do
with Terry Isaacson, the Fall
cons gee-whiz quarterback, and
his habits.
Isaacson is a 5-foot-10 49,
FOUNDER who leads the Air
Force IN everything but bumpy
landings. With Terry at the
controls. the Falcons, in true
swashbuckling fashion, already
have Swoopped off with two
daring fourth-quarter triumphs
for part Of their 81 record
hence the nickname and Mary
land Coach Tom Nugent's cur
rent concern.
Washington presumably had
Air Force licked, 7-3, with lao
left when Isaacson engineered
a spectacular, 91-yard drive for
a touchdown and a 10-7 tri-
umph. He merely completed
seven consecutive passes and
capped the drive by diving into
the end zone on a six-yard
keeper.

hand, see the whole problem in
quite q different light. They
are convinced that the
preservation Of the American
nuclear monopoly in the West is
and proper-and indeed the
lnevitable-policy for Wash
ington to adopt. And as a con-
sequence they reason the only
natural and rational policy for
France is to create its own de-
terrent to be controlled accord
ing to precisely the same set Of
rules.
The French see the Ameri-
can offer of a multilateral
force for NATO quite simply as
one offer Of an illusion Of nu-
clear power. 1t win be multilat-
eral. said Mr.. MeSsmer, when
1t comes to furnishing equip
ment and financing but not in
the decision to use it which de-
ponds on the President Of the
United States. It Is no different
from the system presently in
force"
French WindOwdressing
At the same time the French
see enough value in the multi
lateral force as a political ploy
to have countered with a bit of
quite hypocritical windowdress-
ing Of their own.
Mr.. MeSsmer's remarks about
the problem of nuclear control
Stripe d away most Of the
camouflage from vague French
offers to collaborate on a "Eu-
ropean" nuclear deterrent. The
collaboration there may be in
the multilateral sense Of pool
ing Of equipment and financ-
ing" and even possibly techni-
cal knowhow. But there is now
no question at all of whose
finger will stay on the trigger
and safety catch of any nu-
clear wea pom that France
builds.
The French effort to match
logic with logic and hypocrisy
with hypocrisy, of course, does
not bring the major problems
Of the Western alliance any
closer to a solution. Indeed, it
may make any solution impos-
Sible at a time when the inter-
eSts Of the alliance as a whole
are being increasingly subordj-
mated to the national interests
Of its members.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star
PARIS. Oct. 26.-In the cur
rent debate raging throughout
the Western world over nuclear
policy two nationS-and only
two-are speaking essentially
the same language.
They are the main antagon-
lists in the debate: France and
the United States.
This fact became clearer this
week with some illuminating
remarks about French nuclear
policy from Defense Minister
Pierre MeSSmer. Speaking Of
the use Of French nuclear
forces. Mr.. Messmer declared:
There Is only one authority
that can authorize the use Of
even tactical French nuclear
weapons and that Is the presi-
dent Of the Republic.
Called One Man Proposition
THE nuclear arm can only
be at the disposition of one
man having the responsibility
in the state or in a federation
Of states. Such powers cannot
be delegated to a group of
men,"
More specifically, Mr.. Mess
mer then turned his attention
to the problem Of European"
deterrent. Again he emphasized
the question Of control was all
important. A real European
deterrent implied a real Euro
pean authority in other words
a man responsible to Europe IN
exactly the same way that
President de Gaulle or Presi-
dent Kennedy are responsible
today in their own countries.

there would be several fingers
on the trigger, but that there
would be several fingers on the

VATICAN CITY. Oct. 26
(AP)-Restless prelates at the
Vatican Ecumenical Council
are trying to find ways to make
the assembly move more eff
ciently.
Since the second council
phase began September 90. the
1880 council fathers have been
debating q topic called De Ec-
clesia, which examines the ma
ture and structure of the
church. Fifteen to 20 speakers
q day have been getting UP to
suggest changes for the coun-
ellis theology commission to
incorporate into the schema.
So far, only three Of the four
De Ecclesia chapters have been
discussed and no amendment
has come back for a vote. With
six weeks remaining before the
December 4 recess, many bish-
ops have begun to worry about
how the council can ever hope
to make progress on its slate of
16 additional schemata.
Several Ideas Advanced
Several national hierarchies
have ideas on this. With no
working sessions in st. Basilica
until Tuesday, they were busy
over the weekend ironing out
details Of efficiency plans and
seeking support from bishops
Of other nations.
One plan, believed to have
originated among the American
bishops. would be to have full
working sessions on Mondays
Wednesdays and Fridays In
stead Of five days a week. On
Tuesdays and Thursdays each
national hierarchy would meet
and go over current council
work. Each would settle on one
prelate to represent the major
ity view Of that nation and one
to represent the minority view
The two views would be out
lined in the next general meet
ing Of all council fathers.
