If the Army-Navy game is to be played, it should be utilized to its fullest possibility. Otherwise it should be called off. And It the Army and Navy teams can travel great distances to play other games, it's downright silly to assume that it would be morally wrong to permit them to travel a few extra miles to meet in their climactic game at a central gathering place for all there is in it, to raise funds for the service academies and possibly also promote huge War Bond sales. The sports fans will not forget Congressman Weiss for his battling to preserve one of our most cherished institutions, the sports-mindedness that has helped to make this a great nation of people with the sporting instinct of fair play and has made for clean minds in clean bodies. If we're going to play, let's go all out in our playing, as we go all out in our fighting when fighting is forced upon us.

And let's not forget that the lessons our young men have learned and are still learning on the sports fields have helped to inspire us with a spirit and a resourcefulness that never have been conquered, and never will be, unless we see the day when we forget how to play the game.
