War Robbed Pro Grid Game Of All-American Sinkwich By Jick Cuddy (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Dec. 9. (U.R) Frank Sinkwich stopped hum ming "My Devotion" and quit stuffing the apparel into his big black grip long enough to answer, "Sure I'd have turned pro fessional next year If it wasn't for the war." "Pro football gives a college! player a chance to make a little nest egg for himself while he's trying to get started In the pro fession he prepared for at school," Sinkwich added. Hazel-haired Sinkwich, who was changing from his U. b marine dress uniform to civvies in the little room at the down town Athletic club was a talks tiva surprise to one who had been given to understand that the great Frankle was a man of few words. Sinkwich, of Georgia U., was humming and bubbling all over the place as he got ready to take a train. And his vocals were echoed by another marine reserve, Paul Governali of Col umbta, runner-up to Sinkwich in the voting for the Helsman award to the outstanding col lege football player for 1942. A newspaperman asked Sink wich: "Do you like the running or passing game better? Frankle, who looks much smaller than one would Imagine, replied: . I like the running game better. Even when I was in high school my coach told me I'd never be a good passer. But I did the best I could at Georgia. did more passing this season than ever before. "But you Just remember this I played only about 20 min utes of every game this season. Usually we had such a lead that Coach Wallace Butts figured I wasn't needed any more. That's why I threw only 10 touchdowns this season, although I threw 14 last year when I wasn't concen trating so much on pitching, and seven as a sophomore. Yes. I like the running game a lot bet ter than the passing." This remark was greeted by yowl from Governali. "Hey, you can't kick the passing game around like that," he shouted. Governali, a sharp contrast to Sinkwich in every respect taller, dark-haired and eagle beaked ia one of the greatest passers the grid . game ever knew. Sinkwich was cornered near tha bed where the little bellhop was trying to close his over stuffed grip: He was asked: What was the toughest team you played against?" Frankle gave the bellhop an assist and said, "Alabama, this season. They were awful tough. Yes tougher than Auburn, which beat us. Auburn had a good team and a good day, but Auburn really wasn't as tough as Alabama. A couple years ago Tulane was plenty tough too." Los Angeles, Dec. 9. (U.R) Continuing heavy scrimmages.

R. Van Kleeck, Assistant Commissioner of Education of the State of New York. His department supervises the education of 2,000,000 children in the nation's largest public school system. Mr. an Kleeck is not alone in this view. Educators and teachers throughout the country know that text books alone are not enough to prepare today's students for the world of tomorrow. They realize that if the boys and girls in our schools and colleges are to solve tomorrow's problems successfully, they must know and understand what's going on in the fast-moving world of today. They realize, too, that the newspaper is indispen sable in acquiring this knowledge and understand ing. For, in the classroom or out of it, the daily newspaper satisfies the need for the news . . . and its interpretation ... as no other medium can. In these critical days, all of us . . . young and old. students, teachers and parents ... are relying on newspapers more heavily than ever before, not only for the news of the day but also for guidance and instruction in waging the war on the home front. It's not surprising, therefore, that so many adver tiscrs find the newspaper today's most effective me dium for presenting their messages to the public.
