In photo at left, Lieut. Charles Gehrin- ger, former Detroit Tiger slugger, is shown leaning on a wall decorated with baseball photos as he studies a map of the United States. Center: Two sons of the late emperor of Austria and Hungary are examined at Fort Myer, Va., for induction in the U. S. army. They are Karl Ludwig Hapsburg and Felix Ludwig Hapsburg (seated). The boys enlisted as privates. Picture at right shows Stirling Hayden, yachtsman husband of Madeleine Carroll, slinging lead on the rifle range at Farris Island marine corps recruiting station. Army Dogs Serve as Messengers to Men at Front Carrying pigeons on their sides at the front line is a duty that army dogs often perform. In picture at left, dogs are shown at a simulated front line position, while the men prepare to release the pigeons to the rear for more aid for the medical corps to help with the wounded. A soldier writes the message. Bight: Here RinJTin Tin III illustrates how a dog would bring a message from a command post at the rear of the de- tachment holding the front lines. These dogs would prove of inestimable value to detachments and other units during actual warfare. Private Wins $1,500 Air Medal Competition Private Walter Hancock of St. Louis submitted the winning design for the new air medal. Private Hancock entered the competition while he was yet a civilian. Word that his design won the competition came at the end of a day of KP at Camp Livingston, L,a. Picture shows Hancock, left, receiving $1,500 check from Col. W. M. Dixon, finance officer, V. S. army. Inset: Cast of the new air medal designed by Private Hancock. The Home Town Boys Lend a Hand Somewhere in India Capt. James W. Snyder, V. S. army intelligence officer, who in civilian life was a historian, is shown in conversation with a veteran In- dian guide. This picturesque native served in China during the Boxer rebellion. The ribbon decoration is for service with the late Lord Kitch- ener. He also served under Lord Roberts. Riding High Natives, who know' New Guinea territory even better than the Jungle- hardened Anssies and Americans, carry the wounded past a machine gun nest. Transporting the injured from- the line ol battle is merely one im- portant function of these dark-skinned men and boys who act as porters, guides and carpenters. Personally we are of the opmion that Sergeant Baycura belongs in the air force. If he can make a,motor- cycle fly just think what he couM d* with an airplane! The sergeant is as instructor in the rabtorcycie school at Camp Lee, Va. ; , GrantlandBice College Football and 1943 What .will.happen to the colleges- arid- college football this year? In the first place, this is a matter entirely up to the war department. In the second place, it is also a matter that interests many millions. Here is a tip from inside sources in the war department— \In 1943 we will take over 200 or maybe 300 colleges and universities. At least 300,000 of the 18 and 19-year- old boys will be as- signed to this-etessr They will be draft- ed, but the pick of the draft will be given over to ROTC training. These men will be trained for officers, especially in the flying corps, where we are look- ing for at least 70,- D00 additional fliers. This is a different sort of war. \The only colleges and. universi- ties that can get by are those picked for war training. After 1942, the war department will have full charge, not college presidents, who are in complete accord with the war department program.\ The New Program It is my belief that so far as 1943 is concerned, football should be giv- en first place in any physical train- ing. Football isn't war—but it is the closest thing we have to war. Football is the best training for war. As references I'll give you Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Capt. Mike Moran of the good ship Boise, who sank six Jap warships in 27 minutes. Both are staunch believers in foot- ball values for war. But what sort of college football program will we have for 1943? Many in the war department want only an intramural program. In this respect they are 100 per cent wrong. On both the physical training and the morale sides, football—or any other sport—needs outside competi- tion. Men in the service know this much better than head men in Washing- ton. These servicemen want to beat somebody else—not themselves. There are too many in Washing- ton who don't happen to understand this psychological angle—which is an important one. There is no way tt»?y can get close enough to millions of service- men, who know what they want. The Needed Program Granting the fact that football is a badly needed ingredient in our na- tional training program—which no sane person denies—there should be outside competition at close travel- ing range. There should be no faraway inter- sectional games. But there are any lumber of teams who are fairly :lose neighbors, where there is a lomespun rivalry, where traveling listances are short. The East can play against the Sast—the South against the South— die Midwest against the Midwest ind the Southwest—the Far West mly against the Far West. Until the war is over, national •iiampionships are entirely out of >rder. Long trips are out of order, [ntersectional games are out of or- der. Very few people expect sports as usual. They know that far-reaching changes are inevitable. But it so happens this country iias teams in every section that can play among themselves on a high basis of skill, with a neighborhood rivalry that is far more interesting than any outside challenge. For example—Harvard, Yale and Princeton—Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama and Auburn—Boston Col- lege and Holy Cross—Army and Navy—Southern Cal. and UCLA— Stanford and California—the Texas teams—on and on. With the war department taking over so many colleges and universi- ties, their major mistake would be to abolish football. Their second major mistake would be to abolish all outside competition. They should let these colleges car- ry on wiS» what they have left. We are thinking now only in terms of physical condition, competitive training and morale. These are factors that can't be ig- nored, even by those in charge at Washington who claim to have more important matters to think about. For practically this entire college enlistment will be in war service training, only waiting the call to ac- tive duty. Magnificent Job '.' The services are doing a magnifi- cent job in maintaining physical fit- ness—army, navy, marines and coast guard. They are giving mil- lions the chance to box, swim, wres- tle, run and. jurnp,.- - This same program should be car- ried through for the remainder of the nation—for the kids coming op and for the older men who have yet to be called.

TV/TAJOR league baseball moguls •••'•*• seem to have recovered from the highly contagious jitters that at- tacked them during\ the fall and ear- ly winter months. The future of big time baseball no longer is so doubtful—at least for 1943. When Judge K. M. Landis, baseball Czar, conferred with Joseph Eastman, di- rector of the Office of Defense Trans- portation, he cleared up a lot of matters which had baffled saidmogulsformany a month. The news Landis brought to them was hearten- ing, if not complete- ly satisfying. To begin with, the self-imposed ban on unnecessary traveling, with the resulting saving in transportation facilities, is practically all that was asked of baseball. Club owners were quick to fall into stride with the re- quest, enunciated by Commissioner Landis. In order to conserve rail miles, the magnates agreed to restrict spring training to a definite area, open the season April 21 instead of April 13 as originally planned, and close the season October 3 instead of Septem- ber 26. New Camp Sites Training camp sites have been bound by definite geographical limitations. Camp sites' must be picked north of the Ohio and Poto- mac rivers and east of the Missis- sippi river, except for the two St. Louis clubs. The Browns and Cardi- nals have been granted the right to train in Missouri if they wish. They probably will take advantage of that leeway if suitable locations can be found. When executives of IS of the major league clubs (Washington not being represented) met with Landis in Chi- cago following his conference with Eastman, only three clubs had made training arrangements not in conflict with developments reported by base- ball's big chief. The Chicago Cubs and White Sox will condition at French Lick, Ind., and the Boston Bed Sox will train in the fieldhouse at Tufts college. Sam Breadon, president of the World Champion Cardinals, indicat- ed Springfield, Mo., as a possibility. The Browns might head for southern Indiana. Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics still figured on training at Shibe park. The Ath- letics did it before— back in 1919—and Mr. Mack figures they can do it sgain. The Phils, un- der the leadership of Gerry Nugent, may move his boys into a college field- house near Philadel- phia. General Manager Jack Zeller of the Detroit Tigers indi- cated that the club might wind up at Evansville, Ind., where they would be in a position to play exhibition games with the White Sox or Cubs, or at Benton Harbor, Mich., for the baths. The Cincinnati Reds showed some interest in the southern Indiana location and the Senators (on the Potomac) can't go further south. The Indians probably will stay in Ohio and the Pirates and Giants hadn't any definite plan. A compromise resulted in the April 21 opening date. The initial sugges- tion was that the season start April 27. The discussion touched on April 22, 23 and 24. Then the 21st was set. The extra week at the end of the season came as a new development. The seven extra days were provided to give that much more time for the playing of the 154-game schedule. The extra days will be used where transportation difficulties might de- velop. New Losses Even though spring training dif- ficulties, bad been completely settled —which they haven't—the biggest headache of all would still remain. The question: Where to find playing talent? Both major leagues have contrib- uted their share to the nation's fight- ing forces, and now they face further losses to war industries. This was emphasized by the intimation from Dixie Walker that he likely would remain as athletic director of a war plant instead of returning to the-Brooklyn Dodgers' right field. Lou Finney of the Boston Red Sox was informed by his Alabama draft board that he would .remain on his farm or be inducted.

This makes a fine flavor and a new dish which I have named coco mush. * * * If there is a sick person in the house, who requires stillness, you can lessen the noise of the door- bell by placing a finger of an old glove over the clapper. * * * If garden tools are stored in a small box in which a little lime has been placed, they will not rust.
