When a national demand arises for athletically trained young men, the army, the navy, and the marine and air corps turn llrst to the campuses where men still believe courage in the give and take of fierce body contact and the qualities which can best be developed George Halas, owner-coach of the Chicago Bears, names these 10 members of former Bear teams and Bronko Nagurski as his all-time selections among the host of stars who have played for him. Halas choices were made with provision that players on the 1941 team not be considered. Hunk Anderson. George TrnHon.

The daily mall 'W of this department is loaded with dispatches from army and navy stations describing the efficiency of former college players "on the land, in the air, and on the sea," as they say on the radio. It was so in 1917 and 1918 and in the 10 j'ears following the armistice, college football enjoyed its greatest prosperity.

Attendance this fall, stimulated by such rivalries as those between Minnesota and Michigan, Michigan and Ohio State, and Notre Dame and Army is soaring to record heights, but behind it all is the thought that the game itself is producing men of which its country may be proud, as soldiers and as citizens. National defense owes a tremendous debt to the Waldorfs, the Biermans, the Leahys, the Crislers, and the Elwards, and to the executives of their respective universities who refused to be stampeded into abolition of the sport a few years back.

BY HOWARD BARRY.

The Illinois racing board will renew its investigation of the Hasty Notion for Rapid Bone substitution today in a hearing which may be comparatively dull because of the absence of visiting sportsmen from Los Angeles. Philadelphia, Burbank. and Abilene, Tex. The most notable absentees are expected to be John M. Sperry, Thomas Malone, William Raf-forty and R.

V. Van Cleve. The above four towns are listed rather indiscriminately in connection with the above four gentlemen because both Sperry and Van Cleve are experts in the art of multilocation and may have addresses ranging from Key West to Medicine Hat. Acquittal No End. Rafferty and Malone are not quite so elusive, however, because in their assorted difficulties with the law they have not only admitted but insisted that they live in Philadelphia.

This has worked out very fortunately for Rafferty. because his record still is as white as a lily as far as the authorities in the City of Brotherly Love are concerned. He has been acquitted consistently on what the Philadelphia courts are convinced are trumped up 'charges ranging from operating a gambling house to assault and bat tery. Regardless of Raffertys excellent reputation as a Philadelphia automobile merchant, the Illinois racing authorities have profound suspicions that he and the other three above named gentlemen may have some knowledge of how Chicago race fans were taken for another merry ride in the third race at Hawthorne on Sept. 24 when Hasty Notion, an eastern horse of the $5,500 class, ran under the name of Rapid Bone to beat a band of novices of $1,500 division.

Ignore All Invitations. All four of these persons disregarded the Illinois racing board's invitation to attend the first hearing last Friday before Maj. Edynfed Williams, William Fay, and Frank 'Man-del. Persistent refusal to heed the invitation may prompt the authorities to put teeth in the discipline of race tracks for the first time in the history of the American turf. Albert J.

Meserow, assistant attorney general who is representing the Illinois racing board in the inquiry, has stated that he intends to seek grand jury indictments in this case. If indictments are returned extradition proceedings will be launched in an endeavor to bring the culprits back to Illinois for prosecution under the racing law of 1941 which provides a prison sentence for running a ringer.

BY WILFRID SMITH. Tony Samarzia, sophomore right tackle who played excellent football against Ohio State, will not be in the lineup when Northwestern invades Minnesota Saturday for the all-important Western conference game. Samarzia suffered a twisted left knee in the last seconds of the Ohio State game. Carl Erickson, Jiorth-western trainer, reported yesterday that Samarzia not only will be out of action this week but he will be fortunate if he can play against Notre Dame Nov. 15.

With only 32 seconds loft to play at Ohio State, Don Buffmiro. Wildcat left half, punted to Ohio State's end one where the ball was caught by Dick Eisher. Altho the play was an automatic touch hack, Fisher ran and was tackled on his own 7 yard line. Fisher dodged Samarzia, covering the kick, and while no player hit Tony, in suddenly checking his direction, he twisted his leg and pulled the tendons. Position a Major TroWem.

Filling tho right tackle position has been a major problem for the Northwestern coaches. Leon Cook, a senior, started against Kansas State and Wisconsin. He was injured in scrimmage before the Michigan game. Cook probably will be able to play this week. Ray Vincent, sophomore tackle from Harvey, 111., has had brief experience in the Michigan and Ohio State games.

Neither Cook nor Vincent is as aggressive as Samarzia. Cook lacks agility because cf his weight. Vincent's handicap is inexperience. In any study of North western's defensive weaknesses, the right tackle position must take precedence. Michigan struck at this position with Bob Westfall smashing inside tackle on spin plays, and with Tom Kuzma slashing outside on straight plays.

These Michigan ball carriers gained 46 yards in four attempts during the Wolverines 78 yard touchdown drive. In the last three periods Samarzia plugged the position tight. At Ohio State Samarzia's performance practically was on a par with that of Ait Bauman. Minnesota's superior weight in the line and general aggressiveness based on a fast charge are factors that point to a victory for the Gophers Saturday. Without considering Minnesota's other probable advantages there are two more weaknesses in the Northwestern defenses which indicate Minnesota should win.

Victory is not out of the Wildcats' reach, but Minnesota unquestionably is the favorite. Two Defensive Problems. The Wildcats' defensive problems arc 111 a mediocre defense against forward passes, and 21 ineffective tackling by the men backing up the Northwestern line and the flanks of that scrimmage line. Northwestern's pass defense against Wisconsin and Michigan obviously was unsatisfactory. It was better against Ohio Stale because North-western's superior line play hurried the Buckeye passers, Dick Fisher and Paul Sarringhaus.

Yet Fisher com pleted a 30 yard pass in the first quarter that led to Ohio State's Continued on next page, column Fight Decisions LAST NIGHT'S RESILT9.

Assuring the Illini that they played a much better game at Notre Dame than the score indicated, Coach Bob Zuppke today began to prepare the team for the homecoming battle against Michigan here Saturday. West Tregoning, sophomore from La Salle, came to the front by his performance against Notre Dame and may dispute the right end position with Jim McCarthy.

Alex Agase, sophomore reserve tackle, loomed as a possible right guard since little hope is entertained that Joe Pawlow- ski will play. Pawlowski is in a South Bend hospital with a neck injury. BATTLE FOR ROGERS' POST. Ann Arbor, Oct. 27 Special.

Michigan's football squad, bruised and battered from the rough Minnesota game, enjoyed a one day respite from contact drill today as Coach Fritz Crisler devoted the afternoon session to viewing motion pictures of the game with the Gophers. Michigan plays at Illinois Saturday. Crisler announced that Rudy Smeja and Phil Sharpe would fight it out for the end position left vacant by the spinal injury to Joe Rogers, senior veteran, who is thru for the season. Smeja, a former Lindblom High star, filled in for 50 minutes after Rogers was injured Saturday. Helge Pukema, regular Minnesota guard, who suffered a kidney injury, was released from University hospital yesterday and returned to Minneapolis.

These duties prevented him from joining the Bears for daily workouts, but this gladly was waived by Halas. Hunk is the only player in Bear history who was excused from regular drills. His present job is supervising the Bear line, which helps the backs make those spectacular dashes.

YOU see a lot of great football players in two decades of professional football and George Halas is on his third 10 year span. The big man of the Bears was warned when this series started that he would be asked to name an all-time Chicago Bears' team.

The task was made easier by exempting the present members of the wonder team which now has won 15 straight games and has gone without defeat against the Bronko Nniiirskl. best type of com- petition for almost a year, Even so, Halas was hesitant about singling out 11 men from the hundreds who have helped build up his team thru the years. He made his choices after asking to name an honor roll to give due credit to those other stalwarts. The makeup of Halas all-lime Bear eleven gives proof that players go on to solid, comfortable business lives after they have thrown a block for the last time or made their final tackle. Karr, a Big Bashful Kid, Who Asked for His Job.

Chicago fans still get a thrill recalling the spectacular plays of Bill Hewitt, end from Michigan who scorned a helmet. He was a great offensive and defensive man, a specialist in breaking thru and blocking punts or tackling passers before they could throw the ball. Today Bill is in charge of more than 200 filling stations operated by a large eastern refining company. His headquarters are in Philadelphia. Bill Karr, a big, bashful kid, came to Chicago in 1933 to see A Century of Progress.

His father advanced expense money only after Bill had promised to try out with the Bears. He saw the sights, but had a hard time working up enough nerve to ask Halas for a chance. But when he did report he lost no time fitting in as a regular. Now he's back in his native West Virginia as a state highway lieutenant. The first deal Halas made as coach in professional football was to buy Ed Healy from Rock Island for $100.

It was George's system to buy those players who proved too tough for his own men. Healy was in that category. He was an Inspirational type, a big, blond curly haired fellow whose every move suggested power. He is now a The Cold Facts. The Wake's prediction on last week's college football games resulted as follows: 59 right, 16 wrong, 3 ties.

An 8-5-1 forecast on the far west pulled down the percentage a bit. Over the season the record stands: 310 right, 68 wrong, and 24 ties for a percentage of .820. Street of Dreams.
