If the of Athletic Board decides to attempt football next year, it will be reflecting the wishes of almost everyone at the University from the freshmen students to the president, the Very Rev. Charles II. Cloud, news sources on the campus reported.

The poll included Lloyd Brazil, athletic director, who was quoted as saying that of hos no intentions of giving up football, if it possibly can be played. TWO BIG REASON'S Brazil gave two main reasons why he believes the sport should be continued. First, to provide a fall recreation for the city's defense workers, and second, to give a competitive zeal to the university's physical fitness program. If our football games can provide entertainment and raise the morale of war workers, we will feel that we will be making a worthy contribution to the war effort," Brazil stated. Brazil made several suggestions for meeting the current manpower shortage.

His main hope lies in the university's engineering students, who are more likely to gain deferments. Two of of D's best gridders last year. End Charley Ruth and Guard Paul Fenlon, are attending the Engineering College. Both players have exceptional scholastic averages. SCOUTS PLAYERS Brazil, who has been scouting for material in the hopes that football can be played, said that his investigation revealed that there were a number of students, engineers and reservists, who would play football next fall if given the chance.

The athletic director still hopes that the Army enlistees who are scheduled to study at of this summer will be allowed to participate in collegiate competition. These would definitely insure sufficient manpower to play a full grid schedule. BIVIXS TO DEFEND TITLE CLEVELAND, May 19 (UP) Promoter Larry Atkins announced today that Jimmy Bivins, NBA light-heavyweight champion, will defend his title June 8 against Lloyd Marshall in a fifteen-round fight at Cleveland Stadium. OPERATOR WILL 2-Year-01ds Here Stir Hot Rivalry Classy, Large Field of Youngsters Will Vie in 51 Races for Good DRA Purses BY JOHN N. SABO When it comes to untested two-year-olds, trainers of racing thoroughbreds possess an incurable optimism.

Every one with a two-year-old in his stable thinks he has a chance of developing the youngster into a champion. All of which leads to some interesting discussions, especially the few days prior to a meeting like the one which will open Saturday at the Fair Grounds. Of the thoroughbreds already on hand, fully 250 are two-year-olds. They have come from the East, the West and the South and represent one of the finest groups of two-year-olds ever to come to Detroit. Unquestionably some will be developed into big-money winners.

And there always is the possibility that one of them may be the 1944 Kentucky Derby winner. BUTSY HALLS JO BONNER AT casual stroll around the Fair Grounds is sufficient to garner considerable facts on the two-year-olds. For example, you meet Norman (Butsy) Hernandez. Butsy trains the Mrs. H.

P. Bonner horses and his pride and joy is a two-year-old filly named Jo Bonner. Butsy can talk all day about Jo Bonner. Last winter. Mrs.

Bonner claimed a filly named Aunt Dell from Anthony Pelleteri for $5,000 at New Orleans. The story is that after this claim, Pelleterie wanted to buy Aunt Dell back, but Mrs. Bonner wouldn't sell. Instead, the horse was renamed Jo Bonner. Hernandez blossoms out with a smile which outshines his big diamond stickpin when he says Jo Bonner is the best little two year old at the 'Fair Grounds.

Hernandez gets considerable argument on the point. The boys, who have come here from California, say they have brought along three two-year-olds, which will show Detroiters a thing or two. Willie Molter, the ex-jockey, has a two-year-old named Mon-O-Haste, who was unbeaten at Bay Meadows. H. K.

Houssels, the Phoenix turfman, is more than a little proud of his Vegas Chance and Vegas Mary. KENTUCKY ENTERS ACE The horsemen who came from Kentucky listen patiently and then inquire if you've heard about Black Badge, the ace two-year-old of the Milky Way Farm. "There's a real two year old," they say. "Did you notice how Black Badge won at Churchill Downs?" Besides Roy Wal-dron has another top Milky Way two-year-old in Red Wonder. The boys from the East chip in to say that A.

J. (Whitey) Abel has a fine two-year-old in ramp's Image and the Bomar Stable has an up-and-coming filly in Love Pack. These two came from Pimlico. Not to be out-chattered, Detroit owners get in their bit. Jimmy powers has five two-year-olds in his Dearborn Stable and he thinks Nelson Dunstan "is going to be a real fine horse." Lex Wilson, who trains the T.

D. Buhl horses, isn't adverse to dropping a hint about the fine potentialities of Macwil although this two-year-old hasn't run a race yet. The two-year-olds will get ample opportunities to display their speed. There are 51 races listed for such horses with purses ranging from $7,500 to $1,500. The first big race for two-year-olds will be the $2,000 Bugle Call Purse Saturday over four and a half furlongs.

Most of the leading youngsters will be entered. Charles F. Henry, the racing secretary, is pleased over the two-year-old prospects. "We should have classy fields for all of our two-year-old races," he says. HAWTHORNE ENTRIES FIRST Parse Sl.OOO.

Birthstone. Got There, FIFTH Mile and a half: Four Stewards Likely Here There should be no lack of supervision of races at the Detroit Fair Grounds this year. Hot on the heels of the appointment of Judge Joseph A. Murphy as State Commission Steward, came the report Wednesday that there may be four stewards at the track. In addition to Murphy, Jack S.

Young and James F. Gallagher already have been named by the Detroit Racing Association. Wednesday George Lewis, of the DRA, admitted there is a possibility that Charles A. Bray, commission steward last summer, also may be appointed a steward by the DRA. duce you to a man who can tell you all you want to know.

He thereupon presented Mr. Terrell Jacobs, the gent who mixes lions and tigers in the same act and somehow manages to keep them from clawing each other to pieces. "The lion is the king of beasts," said Mr. Jacobs as soon as the subject was mentioned, "and that is not just a nice line that was thought up by the Chamber of Commerce. He really is the boss.

"I'll concede that a full grown tiger can defeat a lioness or even a young lion. But put a full grown lion against a full grown tiger, and you are likely to have only the lion left when the fur stops flying. "And that is not hard to understand. All cat animals fight by biting at the throat, and clawing at the underparts of the body. The male lion has a thick mane, which protects his throat, so he needn't worry about that.

All he has to do is work on the tiger, which is not protected by a mane. And he usually does. I think the king of beasts would win a fight between the lion and the tiger, but mind you, I am not taking sides. Tigers are nable animals, too." "But what about a lion and a grizzly bear?" Mr. Jacobs was asked.

He confessed he didn't konw. He had never heard of such a meeting. But he believed that if one ever took place, the lion would win. "In addition to his teeth," said Mr. Jacobs, "the lion has 18 claws which are dangerous weapons.

On each front paw he has a thumb, two scissors and two rippers. On each back paw he has four ripping claws. For protection he has his mane and his own strength. "A grizzly bear slaps, and then grabs hold of his opponent, and squeezes him, I believe," he expanded. "While he was squeezing the lion, the lion would be biting him in the throat, and ripping him in the body with his claws.

I think the lion would win such a battle." itwi aoectt vnu MY wn rrnwMTtitf Of USf THaH TIMS TMKOUSH INi woooitixk nnwmn col, CHirm 4575 sr f.i utneisa 16 waiti IT ALL started at a party tossed for the press by Ed (Strangler) Lewis three weeks ago. At this party, Mr. Lewis was telling about his travels around the world. He was talking of lion hunts and tiger hunts. Finally he said, "Do you know that a tiger can lick a lion?" Nobody did, and everybody expressed surprise that the king of beasts finally had met his match.

But just at that point some sourpuss said, "A grizzly bear could lick 'em both." That stopped everybody momentarily. "Well, I don't know about that," said 3Ir. Lewis presently. "But anyway, a lion or a tiger would never meet a grizzly bear. You'd never find them in the same locality." "And you'd never find a lion and a tiger in the same locality either," persisted the sourpuss, "unless somebody put them there." There was some dispute about that.

Lewis didn't agree. After all he had hunted tigers and lions in Africa. But he would not bet thit the tigers he hunted were natural inhabitants of Africa. He didn't know. Finally Mr.

Bernie Frant, the sportin' tailor, moved in. "If Ed said he hunted tigers In Africa," he said, "I'll bet 10 fish that they were there naturally." The bet was covered. The debaters then called John Millen. the boss man at the Detroit Zoo. "Do lions and tigers occur in the same locality?" the questioner asked Mr.

Millen. Mr. Millen said no, lions and tigers do not occur in the same locality. Lions are African animals and tigers are natives of Asia. Mr.

Frant promptly laid out the 10 herrings and charged them off to education. Lion Can Beat Tiger, Trainer Jacobs Holds BUT THAT did not settle the question of supremacy between the lion and the tiger. That was put up to Arthur Wirtz Wednesday night at the circus at the Olympia. "I wouldn't know about that," said Mr. Wirtz, who can give you all the answers about the rise of Sonja Henie to fame and affluence, "but I can intro- 01 mo Mums TWILIGHT GAME Detroit vs.
