Sports Future Uncertain As
Nation Hits Top War Effort
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 23 U.R On this Christmas day we would
like to limn the general sports picture with roseate hues of good
cheer, but unfortunately we cannot. To us it seems that big-time
sports now face the most uncertain period in American athletic
history.
During the first year of the
current war, sports survived with
unexpected robustness as the na
tion swung whole-heartedly into
the war effort, despite the de
parture for services of large num
bers of athletes and the gradual
curtailment of transportation fa
cilities. But we must remember that
this first war-year waa on de
voted largely to preparation, and
that the nation hadn't gone all
out, as It will In 1943, and pos
sibly '44, if the war lasts that
long. No one knows for sure how
much time will be required to
achieve victory. We do not pose
as a military expert. Hence our
guess Is Just a shot in tha dark.
Because of transportation prob
lems we figure that America will
be on an all-out wartime foot
ing at least until July 4, 1044.
In discussing the future of
sports during that period. It's
not a question of how sports can
survive despite the war, but
rather: In what manner will
sports survive as an aid to the
war effort? From now on that's
the all-important angle.
From President Roosevelt
down, the men who are guiding
the nation through thia conflict
have recognized the value of
sports as an aid to civilian mor
ale. But there has been some dif
ference of opinion as to their
value in grooming service men
for combat.
During the past two months It
became apparent that the men
in Washington want sports to
continue, but on a basis that will
Interfere in no way with the
movement of troops or war sup
plies, and on a basis that will
require no use of precious gaso
line or rubber. This was Illus
trated vividly by the shift of the
Army-Navy football game from
Philadelphia to Annapolis, and
by recent requests that the base
ball teams do their spring train
ing aa close as possible to their
home cities,
In addition to the transporta
tion aspect, sports now face the
all-important question of man
power. Great numbers of athletes
enlisted or were inducted during
the past year, but in 1943 sports
first will feel the effect of the ex
tension of the draft down to
youths of 18 years, Ttils means
that competition in all fields will
be limited largely to married
men with dependents, or to stu
dents at colleges taken over by
the government or to students
who are permitted to continue
special courses at other colleges

IN EAST DRILLS
Br Dan McOuIre
United Press staff correspondent
San Francisco, Dec 23 (U.R)
Forty-four of the nation's
senior football stars observed
Christmas far from their home
firesides today and hurried pre
parations for the annual Shrine
East-West benefit game here
New Year's day.
At the University of Santa
Clara, Coach Andy Kerr of the
East expressed himself aa well
satisfied with the transfer of his
squad's quarters from Berkeley
to the Bronco campus. The East
haa not won a Shrine game since
Jan. 1, 1937, when Ken Sand
bach of Princeton kicked a field
goal for a 3-0 victory. Kerr, Col
gate coach during the regular
season, thought the "bright
lights" of Berkeley may have
had something to do with the
poor showing.
"This is perfect spot for our
purposes,"- he said when his 22
players first trotted on the Santa
Clara turf without the usual
large crowd of curious well
wishers. The West gathered, as usual,
at Stanford and buckled down to
their annual task of overcoming
the odds which annually favor
the Kerrmen.
Paul Govern all of Columbia,
described by Kerr as the "best
college passer" he's ever seen,
haa grabbed the spotlight in the
East's workouts this far. Kerr
placed Governali at tailback in
a backfleld which Included i-es
Horvath of Ohio State at right
half, George Celthaml of Michi
gan at quarter and Steve Filo
powici of Fordham at fullback.

It ia a pleasant and cheering custom to renew
friendly associations during the Yuletide by ex
pressing a "Merry Christmas" greeting. This wa
da most heartily and, because of tha grave crisis
now facing our great Nation, we offer thia
added, sobering message upon this occasion.
Through
FAITH
Alone Can
HOPE
. It got around that it Vas somehow
unmanly to believe in God. Sissy to say
your prayers.
Those were the queer, sick years be
tween the two wars. When morality had
to do with vice, drinking and the other
fellow; when it was all right for even free
governments to get away with making
promises the instruments of their own
renunciation. Those were the years when
we forgot justice for "progress" while
the world's conscience slipped softly into
decline.
So now the half gods rule, loosed in
a tempest of our own making. It is the
day of the Black Faith, religion of neglect
and despair. The creed of brutality and
force drives its millions with the fury of
a holy war. Humanity is pretty sick, and
while planes, tanks and battleships may
save the patient just this once again
they cannot ever cure the disease.
, Free men are face to face with a
mighty decision. Either they must meet the
Black Faith with a great Faith of their
own or surrender to the deluge.
The choice is plain. To oppose the
fanatic religion of negation and force with '
the Faith of their Fathers. To learn to live
by the creed of decency and justice, right
eousness, sympathy and understanding. To
find resolution in their belief in the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
Or to deny all hope.
Decent men in their hearts are sick of
kindliness and charity just at
Christmastime and greed and
suspicion the rest of the year.
They are weary of a world
that has produced telephones
and printing presses but has
forgotten honesty and the Ten
Commandments.
mm
Survive!
Decent men want to think of other men
as fellow human beings. -
It is high time for free America to find
again the ideals of its founders. To take
pride in mothering the oppressed. To reach
out for the meaning of mercy, sympathy
and love. To share in proud humility a
simple belief in God.
It is a paradox that, in this critical
period in our history, we are employing
the death-dealing implements of warfare
in the struggle to perpetuate the American
ideals of liberty, freedom and justice.
Through no choice of ours we are en
gaged in a world-wide war and we have
dedicated our lives and fortunes to the
"inevitable triumph."
As great as the questions of conflict
that now face America are the problems
of the years to come, the enormous, chal
lenging problems that we shall have to
solve as the great free people of the post
war world. We shall have to solve them
in the spirit of helpfulness and brother
hood. We shall have to dedicate our
strength and our free ideals in wisdom to
bring about the lasting peace that will find
no nation a pawn, no man a scape-goat,
but all peoples neighbors and friends. We
tried it the other way once. And it did
not work.
Perhaps, even now, unnoticed, the
ground swell is beginning. We like to
think that, quietly, out of these racking
- times there may stem a new
dignity, never yet attained,
for all mankind; rooted in
Faith and flowering, not in
mere tolerance or respect, but
in kindliness and sympathy;
in a real wish to understand
our fellow men.
