DETROIT TIMES, JAIV. 20, 1942 fiy (tlttcdoiuil I SPORTS EDITOR New Navy Coach Tells Notre Dame Grid Banquet It'a No Time Now to Curtail Athletics SOUTH BEND, Jan. was a time more inopporlune to curtail athletics. That was the message of Lieut. Commander John new football coach at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, to an assemblage of 1,300 persons congregated here last night to pay tribute to Coach Frank and his undefeated 1941 Notre Dame football team.

The occasion was the twenty-second annual civic testimonial to Notre Dame football players, sponsored by the Notre Dame Club of the St. Joseph Valley. Besides Commander Welchal, the speakers included the Rev. Hugh C.H.C., president of Notre Dame; Toastmaster Warren Brown, Arch Ward, Wallace Ford, Coach Leahy and the Rev. John J.

Cavanaugh. Father in a stirring talk, declared that it w-as the intention of Notre Dame to continue the institution's program of intercollegiate and intramural sports for the duration of the war. decision is the spirit of the policy recently adopted at the Baltimore conference of presidents of American colleges and universities," Father declared. is also in the spirit of President Roosevelt's letter to Commissioner Landis on the subject of continuing baseball. Of course, there will be difficulties in maintaining an athletic ftprogram, but Notre Dame has overcome obstacles in the past, it can cope with these.

the other hand, If the proper or military authorities should ever decide that intercollegiate sports are not conducive to the general welfare. Notre Dame will naturally accept the decision without question. Our purpose, like that of all Americans, is to bring the war to an early and successful end. I Campus Life as Wartime Tempo Pearl Harbor we at Notre Dame been busy stepping up the univ entity to a wartime tempo. We have been accelerating the academic program, advancing the time of examinations and registration for the new term, giving special consideration to students who will soon be called to the armed forces, and attending to many other changes that the war makes necessary.

Fortunately, wr were not unprepared for these changes that now seem to be We had a headstart. For at least two years we hate been devoting much of our time and energy to a well-integrated national defense program. What we are doing now is merely gearing our facilities, not to defense but to victory. Dame's athletes are a part of that Notre Dame which has known the impact of past wars, and which has the fullest co-operation in this one. The majority of Notre friends see her athletes only while they are on public exhibition, competing in the sports in which they excel.

We at Notre Dame know them as they are when they are not in the see them in the halls, in the daily life on the campus, and in the classroom. We know what kind of men they turn out to be after they leave school and take their places in the world in order to apply the talents dexeloped at Notre Dame. Many of us know the part that competition in athletics has played in moulding scores of men xxhnse citizenship In xxar and peace is a source of pride to their alma mater. I could not even begin to call the roll in the time at my disposal."

third-place Toledoans were i really hot. scoring a 5-2 victory over the league leaders. So why Olympia officialdom. which means Fred L. Haner, general manager, too worried over the strike threat.

He figures be twice many people out next week after last night's thrillers. ONE-MAN STRIKE The strike so far is confined to one man. Rudy Zunich, Pariselean defenseman, who quit before the game last night, according to Art McDermott, Pariselean manager. McDermott said that after the game other members of the club told him they wanted more money for playing in what nominally is an amateur league. It is reported that members of the Toledo club are getting sl2 a game and that the Pariscleans iwant sls to S2O a game.

Last year the M-0 league had this same trouble. At least, the Holzbaugh elub. which is this year's Pariselean outfit, did. Three members quit in mid-season, Jimmy Raudino, Matt Wiljanen and Wes Lamps a. This year Baudino and Wiljanen play for Toledo and Lampsa still plays for Pariselean.

The strike trouble, he 'aid. would probably be straightened out when the meeting is held, which will be as soon as possible. McDermott said he didn't know whether Pariselean would remain in the league until after a meeting before practice tomorrow night.

In the opening game last night, Mansfield was primed for revenge on Windsor, having dropped a 13-4 game across the river on Friday night. Mansfield came from behind with four goals in the last prriod to win. despite three goals by Len Loree and two by Keith Crossman for Windsor..
