However, the veterans have been handicapped in this phase of the hospital's reconditioning program by the lack of equipment, and an appeal has gone out to golfers of Alabama for golf clubs and balls.

H. Barnard, secretary-treasurer of the Pratt City Civitan Club, purchased $25 worth of tickets Saturday for the Annual Crippled Children's Clinic prep football game which is to be played at Legion Field on Nov. 23, Thanksgiving Day. He purchased them for the Civitan Club to go in a group to the pfep classic. The money that the club contributed to the clinic will go into fund for the Crippled Children's Hospital which, will be built after the war.

This hospital will be a 100-bed hospital and will be in the Alabama Medical Center. When Mr. Barnard bought the tickets he said that his club and Pratt City wanted to have a part in building the hospital. from the four-yard line and Quarterback Joe Ponsetto converted.

DUSTING'EMOFF BY ZIPP Sports Editor The Birmingham News-Age-Herald Record for Bonded Sideline Coaches Nearing Last year there were 221 Bonded Sideline Coaches, contributing $22,000 in War Bonds to the Crippled Children's Clinic.

From all indications the Monday Morning Quarterbacks, who have had the fun of their lives bonding coaches, should report the record shattered for last year at the Monday meeting. The response has been inspiring to date and with all the money from the Crippled Children's game going into the building fund, the drive for a half million dollars should be off to an encouraging start. The people of Alabama want a Crippled Children's Clinic in keeping with those of 17 other states. And they are lending their assistance in helping to put over the state-wide drive for a clinic that is open to all crippled children of the state. Bond contributions are coming in from all over the state with many from out of the state.

Bill Stern, NBC ace sports announcer, was the first out-of-state Bonded Coach. Bernie Moore, coach of Louisiana State, will be guest speaker at the Quarterback Club Monday. The slate of officers and members of the team will be placed before the members. It is possible that one of the guest speakers for the December meeting might be an-nouned. Harry Wismer, voted the outstanding sports announcer by The Sporting News, will broadcast the party over the Blue Network.

He is coming here for the annual jamboree and interview the Southeastern Conference coaches. Columbus, patterned a Monday Morning Quarterback Club on, the local one and it is believed the Columbus quarterbacks are about ready to sponsor a football game for a proposed Crippled Childrens Clinic. in Georgia. Gadsden, a hot bed of football fans, has asked several members of the local club to come to Gadsden this week and explain the organization and its purpose. It is the hope and wish of the Board of Trustees of the Crippled Children's Clinic that the donations for the new clinic will represent more than 50,000 "Alabamians.

If the sale of tickets for this year's game reaches last year's record breaking sale there will be more than 30.000 donors in the first, phase of the drive. No contribution is too small.

Woodrow Boone, overseas sports correspondent for The Birmingham News, comes through with his sFond story on championships in New Guinea. He covered the first football game and now he gives the champion boxers.

Baseball is next on the program. Pvt. Boone writes: War is a personal thing. Armies travel en mass; they live in companies, and their soldiers go out in squads, but they fight and die as individuals. Soldiers on order or under attack fight with whatever weapon, is available.

Soldiers on their own time use boxing gloves. War is a personal thing.

Lovick Stephenson there has been only one Lovick has written Bill Streit, another masterpiece from Mother India. He tells about all the people from Alabama he has met and what they are doing. He gives some of his Kiwanis friend the-bird Bill to scrape up 6 cents for newspaper clippings. Like all men overseas. Lovick is hungry for news from home.

Drop him a line or two: Lt. Col. L. L. Stephenson, O-277943-APO 882, Postmaster, New York City.

The letter: Dear Bill: Not long ago I met Lionel Layden and we talked about you for quite a while. He has a lot of pep left yet. in hi old frame, but his abdomen isn't quit as flat as it was when at his height as an athlete. I joined him at lunch several weeks ago and we enjoyed Hank Greenberg and were entertained, listening to some baseball gossip of former years. Lionel is doing well and.

as you would expect, has lots of friends there, too. Maj. Bill Farmer, the tooth-driller of Birmingham, is stationed at the same post as Lionel. You knew Bill at home, and, likewise, as in the case of Lionel, he's doing well in India, but there didn't seem to be much chance of either living here after the war. "Occasionally, whea we get time off, some of us go hunting.

Several went not so long ago and brought three boars back with them. Another day several of the men went duck hunting and were well rewarded. Capt. Prime, of Pennsylvania, and I were out for about two hours Wednesday and got several ducks and a crocodile the latter about three and one-half feet long. Capt.

Prime is having a lady' handbag made from the hide. Some day, if I can get off, I want to try the wild boars, since our pork ration is not so high here, and every day ain't Friday. Jake Taylor must have joined the Army. From the successful reports we get from the Pacific, an old broken-down man like Jake may do well with the sailors where there's not much walking involved. That's one reason he can't play golf.
