Scanlan Is Taken From Prep School in Philly TOM FITZGERALD ibut a resident of Philadelphia dur- Attractions Jing most of his life, played football at St. Joseph's College under Heinie Miller.

He admitted laughingly over the phone that he "was a fair halfback" at the college, in 1924 ht he mentioned no figures for the cost cf the victory program. It was disclosed that the board had been summoned to the White House for a conference with Pret. dent Roosevelt tomorrow. "From now on. every action by this board and by the related ci-vilian agencies of the government must be keyed to one goal complete victory in this war which has been thrust upon us," SPAB said It is clear that a vastly panded national effort is imperative Production fchedules for all manner take over the coaching duties WASHINGTON, Dec.

8 (AP) The Supply Priorities and Allocations Board, top defense agency, today declared the country was engaged in an "all-out victory program," and other defense officials said this called for a 000,000,000 outlay. Such an expenditure would more than double the current armament program for which appropriations and authorizations are nearing $70,000,000,000. From this moment we are en gaged in a victory program," said a SPAB announcement, issued following a special session in the office of Vice President Henry A. Wallace. "We can talk and act no longer in terms or a ceiense program.

Victory is our one and only ob jective and everything else is subordinate to it."

"Ank" Scanlan cf St. Joseph's Preparatory School in rhiladlephia as successor to Joe Sheeketski. Strong reports were still in circulation that some big name coach Harrv Mehre of Mississippi or Herb Korf of Manhattan was slated for the Worcester post just before ANTHONY H. SCANLAN New Holy Cross Coach.

the announcement was made naming the 38-year-old mentor of the Philadelphia day school where he has enjoyed consistent successes. Scanlan was selected after a weekend conference in Philadelphia with Rev. Timothy Phelan, S. moderator of athletics at Holy Cross; Thomas J. McCabe.

athletic director, and Gene Flynn, assistant athletic director. During the last couple of; days their choice was confirmed by I Very Rev. Joseph R. N. president of the college.

Maxwell, Scanlan will make his first appearance in this vicinity at the customary pre-Christmas dinner for the students at Holy Cross Dec. 15. Term of Contract Unknown No information concerning the I terms rf the contract could be i gained either from Fr. Sullivan orj from Sconlcn himself when he was contacted in Philadelphia. Fr.

Sullivan said that so far the co lege had only a verbal agreement i with Scanlsn and the latter merely stated that "this is no bargain contract." Sheeketski. it wes pointed out in the official news release from Holy Cross, had tendered his resignation last Saturday, although his tontract actually expires Dec. 31. Scanlan, Hazelton, native, Doubts Sports Really Essential to U. S.

Defense By STANLEY WOODWARD Clark Griffith was supposed have persuaded Woodrow Wilson that baseball was essential for purposes of mo rale in war-time. Some of the important people in tS sport quoted in this issue of the New York Herald Tribune ap parently are tak ing up the ban ner which Griffith, right or wrong, once so valiantly unfurled. However, everyone is asking what is going to happen to us all, to our foibles, institutions and, incidentally, to our sports, and the true answer is that no one knows. Personally we never have gone along with the "playing-fields-of- Eton" idea. We doubt that the Duke of Wellington did more than make a vacuous crack which some Boswell turned into an epigram.

We doubt that a man can be better fitted for war by par ticipating in sports than by sitting in a room brooding over his thwarted ambitions and his injustices. In current warfare physical strength is at a discount. A small and unathletic man without extensive refueling demands per haps will make a better soldier or sailor than the campus hero, pro vided he -has the minimum of strength necessary to manipulate mechanical equipment. The athletic fathers an are giv ing off pronunciamentos about the morale value of sports. This Is In line with the Griffith pioneer ef fort.

The fathers apparently are worrying about the necessity of diverting the public during a war. We decry the idea that this is sheer selfishness. We merely point out that they dont know anything about the future of sports. When the time comes, we trust, they will be told what they're going to do. And, we trust, there will be no consideration for the personal interests of them or us.

Before the thing goes any further, however, we would like to register this department's opinion that sports is not an essential industry. Dick Vidmer (New York) Herald-Tribune columnist) received the fol lowing letter yesterday from Cadet Harold A. Ogden, United States Military Academy: "After listening to the news bulletins late this afternoon I was quite surprised to hear, just before supper, yelling in the area of barracks just like before every other meal during the football season. I soon found out that the Plebes were yelling, 'Sink the Japs!" In the same tone that we had yelled, 'Sink the last week. Then we marched to supper counting cadence with 'Beat those just like we yelled, 'Beat Notre "Since I have just sent my bathrobe to Crabtown-on-the-Bay, I feel rather uncovered these cold Winter evenings.

It occurred to me that possibly you could get me a wager of a kimono with a gentleman from Tokio on the outcome of the Big Game. I am SURE I'll win this time, because the Navy is on our side." Cadet Ogden might also have added that he has Notre Dame on his side. The pro football Giants were complacent about their prowess when they entered the game with the at St Josephs Prep until 1928. al though he did coach some club teams in the interim. He has compiled an enviable record at the Philadelphia school which has an enrollment of 800 boys and generally has a squad of some 35 players.

Teams Have Won 93 Games Durinc his 14-year tenure at St. Joseph's his teams have won 93 games, lost 14 and tied 10. In that period the team has won the Catholic League title six times, as well as the city title in 1938. A keen student of the game, Scanlan uses the single wing with an unbalanced line, but he isn't sure about what he'll use at Holy Cross. I'll wait to see the material first," he said.

His assistant at St. Joseph is Lud Wray. the former Pennsylvania and Redskins coach, which brought up the question as Scanlan's plans for assistants. "I'll want to pick my assistants with care," he said over the phone. 'Naturally Lud will be one of those given a lot of consideration, but I wouldn't want to say anything as yet" It is naturally assumed that Edgar "Eggs" Manske and Ed Moose Krause, Sheeketski's assistants, would depart with Joe, and that "Hop" Riooel would remain as coach of the freshmen.

That latter assertion was confirmed by Fr. Sullivan. This is not the first time that Scanlan has been in line for a football-coaching berth. He has been considered at various times by such colleges as Fordham and Temple. According to his self-description.

Scanlan is about 5:9 or 5:10, and weighs about 180. He has been married for about 10 years to the former Lauralys Blandford, who was born in Puerto Rico. Like many another husband he was embarrassed to confess that he couldn't remember the exact date of his wedding. He is the father of four children. Michael.

Schoolboy Sidelights Some Hoop Teams Lose Their Courts by Defense Edict By ROBERT HOLBROOK The present emergency may have a definite bearing on the schoolboy sports whirl. For one thing, what will happen if the various and sundry armories are to be used exclusively for matters dealing directly with the emergency. This would put a definite crimp in the basket-ball plans of all the schools who depend on the government-owned buildings for a place to use as floors for the hoop sport.

Many of the outlying towns depend entirely on these armories. Something about this matter was brought up last Winter, but after everything was straightened out tne armories were finally put at the disposal of the hoopsters. Another important point is the fact that more than one coach will be heard telling of how he lost this star and one to the Army or some other branch of the service. The acceptance aee of 17 vears. nf rm.r will include many of those in school ai present.

Usually, a schedule changes matters only slightly in the run of things. But the fact that Weymouth has scheduled games with Arlington for the next two years means something. It means that Weymouth has decided to step into faster company. It has been engaging class teams for the most part, but is now strengthening its schedule.

I I Offers Long-Sought By ROBERT P. ALLEN Its godfathers two Connecticut brothers have named it Snow Valley, and from what this correspondent saw of the Manchester, Vt, area last Winter it is doubtful if they could have picked a better name, both from the standpoint of truthfulness in snow conditions and the excellent geological situation. Amazingly rapid progress has been made on Bondville Mountain since the first of October by Dolf and Walter Rath, skiers of no little fame, with ambitions to complete a region that will makethe well-publicized Sun Valley sit up and take notice. Five miles east of Manchester Center, on the road to Bondville, this development, which will cover approximately 1000 acres, is that "something new" that ski devotees have been looking for. On the west side of the mountain.

Snow Valley is cut out of sheer forest. The Rath brothers, from Greenwich, spent a greater part of last sea.Vn skiing in the vicinity and looking for just the spot where they decided to build their Winter resort. Better than 100 inches of snow visit this section, and the terrain, underneath that thick growth of trees and brush, is perfect for all types and degrees of slopes and trails. Two New Rope Tows The $100,000 ski area development will be almost ready for the first big rush of Winter sportsters, and within the next few days two new type rope tows will be ready for operation. One tow is 1200 feet long and the other is 700 feet.

A $30,000 Apline type Constam ski lift, 2300 feet long, with a capacity of 1000 skiers an hour will be delivered for January. The engine for the lift has already arrived and the boys are waiting to get started on the apparatus still to come. With the foundation and a massive stone fireplace and chimney already built, a $12,000 clubhouse, with ail the modern facilities, will mushroom up in quick fashion. A parking area has been cleared for more than 500 automobiles and numerous picnic and first aid shelters dot the trails and slopes. Prize attraction for the better ski artists will be the Boomerang, a 3500-foot carpet-like trail, which.

incidentally, also is appropriately named. Then there's the Hedge Hopper, a two and one-half mile touring trail for beginners: the Lucky. Devil, a mile run for the good intermediates; the Bulldozer, also about a mile for the intermediate and expert, and the Grand Slam and the Snow Cloud, both corkers which will be serviced by the rope tQWS. Miles Heads Ski School All the trails that lead eventually to the slopes will ribbon down the mountain from the top of the big lift, which is to be driven by a 140 horse power diesei engine and sporting Gang of Guys That's Oregon CORNWALLIS, Dec. (Wide World) It's a peculiar football team, this Rose Bowl representative from Oregon State College.

Because when you think of Oregon State you think of a team as a unit, and not of a few individual stars augmented by a bunch of guys named Joe. Oregon State has "Joes" all right, two teams of 'em, with substitutes Coach Lon Stiner, youngest Pacific Coast Conference mentor at 38, is tickled about it, too, because there's no prima donna (trouble on his squad. Just about time the scribes go wacky over this end or that guard, another end and another guard pop up and make the writers forget all about jthe first fellows. i you can can em me oianess Staters. If stars there be.

you'd probably settle on Quentin Greenough, All-Coast renter, and left-handed, left- (X T-k Tl I I L.lfl luuieu jjuri uuiudii, iiauuauK. who is also a basketball and baseball star. Greenough calls the team's defensive signals and mixes 'em up so well that Oregon State's defense this year was regarded as the trickiest and best on the coast. It was the first to halt Stanford's formation, ending a 12-game winning streak, and Greenough was the gent who directed the derailment. Durdan is a speedy, slippery run ner, fine passer and tremendous punter.

Lanky, ham-handed Jim Dixon, line coach who used to play tackle for Oregon State, was asked how he accounted for the anonymous effectiveness of his front-line giants. He replied: "Well, I think one reason our line play is so uniform is that the kids Every guesf Becomes a purrer When MILSHIRE'S in Your cocktail stirrer Mod tmall pel sfc'ff rt ilewir, kHr way 90 proof.

The trails have been cut to allow plenty of room; some are even 120 feet wide spots, according to the boss-brothers.

For head of the Snow Valley Ski School, Nat Miles, certified professional, who shifted to Plymouth, from Manchester, N. last year, has been chosen. With two other instructors who have not yet been selected, he will teach the art mastering the boards to the newcomers on a wide, gentle hill near the bottom of the lift. This area will be free from all those other than the scholars, declare Dolf and Walter Rath, who planned the slope such a way as to put the beginners off by themselves for some strenuous studying. MANCHESTER MATTERS The clubhouse.

73 feet by 33 feet, will be a beauty when completed. Its designer Fitz Dillmann, ski instructor at Cantamount in Massachusetts last year, showed us trve blueprints. Some of its features will be a restaurant ski shop, spacious lounge, office space at the front where the bosses can look out onto the slopes and decks for sun-bathing, which will probably come next year instead of this. The Raths estimate that the big slopes which face due north can accommodate 2000 skiers without too much crowding. Elevation runs from 1950 to 2700 feet and residents in the quiet Vermont town of Manchester can tell you how the snow really packs in there.

Two weeks ago last Sunday, the area of Snow Valley go its first taste of snow; just about four inches while other towns for miles around reported no white crystals at all. The brothers have visited practically evefy ski center in the country and as the old story goes, they have benefited by the other fellows' mistakes and have planned not to make them here. i Even before they have completed everything for this season, the boys are already making plans for en larging and making improvement for coming Winters. They are looking ahead far ahead. From Boston the drive by automobile is approximately 140 miles via route from Brattleboro or from the same route from Manchester Center from Bennington.

The roads are good both ways, but the last few miles into the woods are over a smoothed-surface, well plowed road. The Rath brothers have supervised the construction in the area and laid out and named the trails and slopes without assistance. Manchester has movies and throws barn dances during the Winter, so there's entertainment when you can't make any yourselves. Among the places here is the comfortable Orvis Inn, managed by young Jack Ort-lieb, who was one of the first persons around to see the possibilities developing Winter sports on a large scale in the region. Named State Eleven together and take such an inter in each game.

All the left ends, instance, will parley before a game and lay out their strategy. The left tackles will do the same, and on. "So whenever we make a substitution, we know the next man is going play the same kind of a game as predecessor." In beating Oregon, 12 to to cinch the Rose Bowl bid, the Beavers astounded the fans with the numbers 7 6 ln at tnree mstanrps an entiro was sent in, with no noticeable decrease in effectiveness. Matter of fact, the new players, fresher, even outdrove the fellows they replaced. "We've got four tackles," Dixon beamed, "and it doesn't make a doggone bit of difference which set is in there.

They're all good." And that goes for most of the other positions, too, with only a scant dropoff apparent in replacements for Greenough and Durdan. The Beavers use single wing and short punt formation stuff, strike fast, have a fine passing attack featuring southpaw Durdan and right handed left half Bob Dethman, signal caller; good power and speed at fullback, and exceptional fundamentals. Their tackling is sharp'as you'll find on the coast, and their downfield blocking reminds of Minnesota. But there ain't any stars. line Casualties! SALEM, Dec.

Aerial activity was heavy, 63 per sons being killed and 133 injured in violent bombing assaults on Singapore itself. No damage was done to the military installations of this miehty base, however, it was stated. Three airdromes in Northern Malaya were bombed, it was added, but apparently with little damage.

Japanese troops, these dispatches added, poured into Thailand from the coastal points of. Singora. Patani and Prachuapgirikh and in areas close to Malaya.

The vast pattern of the Japanese assault was reflected also in the announcement of military headquarters here that air attacks had bees made against British positions in the Hongkong area. The British commander-in-chief in the Far East, Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham, and Vice Admiral Sir Geoffrey Layton declared in an order of their day their confidence in ultimate victory. "We are ready," they said. -We had plenty of warning and our preparations are made and tested. "We do not forget the years of patience and forebearance with which we have borne with dignity and discipline petty insults inflicted upon us by the Japanese in the Far East.

"We know those things were done only because the Japarese thought they could take advantage of our supDosed weakness. "Now when Japan herself has decided to put matters to a sterner test she will find she has made a grievous mistake." Other cars were standing by for assignment to any duty deemed necessary by Director Farley or heads of the armed forces. "Only One War" Mrs. LaRue Brown, president of the Massachusetts League of Women Voters, declared after an emergency meeting of the presidents cf the local leagues: "Americans must remember that there is only one war. whether it is in Europe or in Asia.

The Japanese attack is a phase of Fascist aggressiin separated from that of Nczi Germany by miles of space, but not by an inch in thought or influence. "The league's program designed to equip citizens for wartime prch lems such as labor and defense, training of women to deal with curtailments and to check never was more important than it is today.

We well remember the fight talk delivered by the Donegal coach before hostilities began: "I want every man on this team be a gentleman if possible. But at all costs get your man." Larry MacPhail entertained the Easeball Writers recently and started to talk about football and the.

shall we say, "argument" he and your agent had over the last AU-Star football game. If you recall, he threatened to throw the Dodgers out of Ebbets Field because the All-Star game wasn't located there. "Woodward is entitled to his opinion." said MacPhail, "but Dan Topping and I are entitled to MINE." (Caps ours.) The All-America, All-East, All-West and AU-South teams are coming in every day from news services and magazines. They are all organized as usual with the idea of making the most friends and the fewest enemies possible. We object to them all because they are not fitted to play ball.

They all have one serious fault. They have no blocking back. Frankie Albert of Stanford, the most popular choice for quarterback, would not fit into 99 percent of the country's backflelds in this position because he is no blocker, just a passer and ball handler. Bruce Smith of Minnesota, "football man-of-the-year" and proposed recipient of the Heisman trophy, deserves both honors. Though he played on an uninteresting team, his personality and abilities stood out so prominently that even -your prejudiced operative could see them.

Not only is he a gifted all-around player, but he has the common characteristic of the greatest backs, i. he would drive for the last yards when he was cornered. Against savage Michigan tackling he ran so hard that he frequently went five yards before they could quiet him. Consequently he made first downs that few other backs in the country could have made.
