IT USED to be that there waa
nothing “so rare as a day in
June” when football bounded back
Into the steamy summer scenery.
But this is the way it is now with
the world upside down.
Here are some of the famous foot
ball people we have run across in
the last few days—and they will all
be on the busy side shortly:
Frank Leahy — Head Coach at
Notre Dame: “We’ll have a pretty
fair squad at Notre
Dame, including
what we have left
from last year and
our navy additions.
We won't have to
travel far to play a
number of first-class
opponents and of
course, we hope to
;meet Army again in
New York for our
only real trip. And
I can tell you now,
Army will be some
Grantland Rice
thing to beat this next fall. Neither
Notre Dame nor Army will have
many big men, but we’ll have a few
fast ones.”
Lou Little—Columbia: ‘‘We might
have a pretty fair squad at Colum
bia. We have a number of oppo
nents close at hand where little trav
eling will be needed. Of course, we
can only use the navy men on their
off hours. The idea isn’t to have
any championship team. But we’li
build up the best team we can get,
win or lose, for the good that foot
ball brings.”
Carolinas Will Play
Herman Hickman — 310 ponnds
from North Carolina State: “Are we
going to play football in the Caro
linas? One hundred per cent sure.
We have a group of fine colleges
fairly close—North Carolina, Duke,
North Carolina State, Wake Forest,
demson and others. Tennessee isn’t
far away. Neither is Georgia Tech.
Those that are under the navy will
do pretty well—those under the
army will have a tough time. But
we are going to try to get every
fellow to play football, whether he
can play well or not. Kids need
football—not only physically but for
the rugged type of competition it
brings. The two Carolinas will be
right la the middle of the football
map.”
Ted Blair—One of Yale’s best
tackles: “No, Harvard’s decision to
give up intercollegiate sport doesn’t
affect Yale. With Howie Odell on
the job we’ll have a lively season, if
we don't have a winning one.”
Red Blaik—Army: “We won’t
have a big squad. I mean by that
we’ll have few men over 175 pounds.
But we should have a smart, keen
set of cadets who love football and
who will match the spirit of any
team they meet. We’ll have an alert
team with a fast charging line and
several good backs who can kick
and pass. Also run. I only wish the
public could know what football
means to the morale of the cadets,
fci spite of the 16 hours a day they
give to the hard work and the dis
cipline that makes the best type of
officer.”
The Competitive Side
Red certainly hits the nail on the
head there. What a great many of
•ur army war leaders don’t seem
to understand is that there is a men
tal or competitive side to sport as
well as a physical side.
This is why we need football be
yond any other single game.
There are other games that will
give oat jnst as much physical fit
ness—possibly better physical fit
ness.
Such games as handball, one of
the best of all conditioners, cross
country running, boxing, calisthen
ics, etc.
But outside of baxing there Is no
ether game that has football’s worth
as a competitive sport.
The navy has a better slant on
this situation than the army has.
Pro Football
Pro football officials met a few
days ago to outline the next fall
campaign.
Most of the league is sure to go
ahead with what it has left.
As pro games are only played on
(Sundays, there is no reason why
those working in war plants
shouldn’t stick to their war jobs and
«till play football.
Most of the pros keep Hi good
physical shape. They don't need
as much coaching, so far as fun
damentals go, as college players
require.
The standard of play won’t be
as high as it was before, bat it
will keep aboat the same aver
age that baseball has on hand.
And baseball isn't doing too
badly. While some cities have
fallen well behind in attendance,
others, such as Philadelphia and
Washington have shown a heavy
increase over past years.
A close race can make up at least
partly for the absence of stars.
| The one feature that might cut in
upon pro football is the probable
drafting of married men with chil
dren.
This move may come along too
late to affect baseball this summer,
but it would have a rougher effect
upon fall football.
Undercover Men Fix Planes
Beneath Their Enemies’ Nose
Even under constant enemy bombardment, United States
soldiers must rescue, salvage, repair, and restore wrecked
airplanes. At the Greenville, South Carolina, Service Group
Training Center, members of the U. S. Army Air Forces are
taught how to do this dangerous work under ingenious cam
ouflage. In picture at top a medical unit rescues an injured
pilot from a crash simulated for training purposes.
Cows add a realistic touch to the camouflage installations in the
country scene at left. In the background is a parachute drying tent
which appears as a silo from the air. Right: A doughboy in a
sniper suit, camouflaged to blend into sylvan surroundings. In for
est country this warrior would be totally invisible at a distance.
Does this crazy quilt pattern hurt your eyes? It does the same
to an enemy bombardier. This pattern screen covers a deunaged
bomber so that repairs can be made without disclosing it to the
enemy. Almost every device known to camoufleurs has been em
ployed at the training center.
In top photo a repair shop building is disguised to appear as a
haystack. Note wires at right leading into roof. Bottom: The
plane is covered by a screen. The farmhouse and silo in back
ground actually are engineering installations. Tanks, jeeps and
seagoing vessels also are camouflaged to confuse the enemy. Even
war plants have been camouflaged.
This bus is camouflaged. AH glass has been removed from the
windows.

Balanced Meals
For Humans, Too
Nutrition Chart Helps
Avoid ‘Hidden Hunger’
Food is always important, but in
Wartime it becomes strategic ma
terial. That’s why the seven basic
food groups form the groundwork of
a plan to get full benefit, nutrition
ally, from all the food in the national
larder, according to the U. S. de
partment of agriculture.
It’s easy to figure out a balanced
diet, nutritionists say, if the food
chart is followed. If one or more of
the “Basic Seven” groups is left
out. day after day. it's a danger
signal.
“I’m never hungry. I eat
plenty af steak and potatoes.”
People who talk like that, who
never order vegetables, may be
suffering from “hidden hunger.”
This “hidden hunger" sbowa
up in subtle ways. Workers who
suffer from it tire more easily,

froson or conned
•re more liable to stumble Into
accidents resulting from abnor
mal fatigue. They fall prey to
minor illness, their morale Is
lower, they are Irritable and dif
ficult to work with. All this may
add np to millions of lost work
ing days, if “hidden hunger”
spreads across the land.
By dividing food into seven
groups, the problem of selection is
simplified. Each group has enough
different kinds of foods in it to allow
wide variety in meals. If, during
wartime, you find some usual kind
of food to be scarce, try new ones,
making sure you hit all seven food
groups.
Among the foods in Group 1—
green and yellow vegetables—are
asparagus, beet greens, broccoli,
cabbage, chard, collards, dandelion
greens, escarole, green peppers, let
tuce, mustard greens, okra, parsley,
green peas, snap or string beans,
spinach, turnip greens, and water
cress. Also carrots, pumpkins, ruta
bagas, squash, sweet potatoes, wax
beans, yams and yellow turnips.
In Group 2 are all the eitrus fruits
and certain greens—oranges, toma
toes, grapefruit, cabbage and salad
greens—served raw.
In Group 3—a large one—are po
tatoes, and other vegetables and
fruits. It includes beets, cauliflow
er, celery, corn, cucumber, egg
plant, lima beans, kohl-rabi, leeks,
mushrooms, onions, parsnips, rad
ishes. salsify, sauerkraut, turnips,
and many others. Fruits included,
and not mentioned in Group 2. are
all those excepting the citrus, such
as apples, berries and plums.
Milk and milk products make up
Group 4. In it are buttermilk, cul
tured milk, evaporated and con
densed milk, dry whole and skim
milk, cream, all kinds of cheese,
and ice cream.
Group 5 is the meat, poultry, fish
and egg group. It Includes also the
protein alternates, dried beans,
I peas, nuts, and peanut butter. If
your meat points don’t last you
through the week, switch to some
unrationed food in this group, to be
sure your meals contain enough pro
I tein.
Bread, flour and cereals (natural
whole grain or enriched or restored)
fall into Group 6. Breads and cere
als should be of whole grains or
enriched with vitamins so essential
for health.
Group 7 contains butter and for
tified margarine (with vitamia A
added).
Farm Notes
As the butterfat of milk tends to
■often the rubber parts of milking
machines, the milk should be washed
off with cold water immediately aft
er milking is finished.
