Eugene, Ore., Dec. 18 (U.R)
Joe Gordon, star second base
man with the New York Yan
kees, today said he was tele
graphing President Ed Barrow
of the Yanks that he has decided
to enlist in some branch of the
armed service before spring
training.
Gordon's action confirms a
statement he made several
weeks ago that he did not plan
to Join the world champions for
spring training.
Whether he could pass a rigid
examination for military service
is problematical, sl.ice he has
a bad left ankle, trick hip and
bothersome Jaw, broken in his
sandlot days.
Gordon would not say which
branch he planned to enter but
he has a known interest in
aviation.
Gordon Is 28 and a pre-Pcarl
Harbor father, since he has a
3V4-year-od daughter and an
18-month-old son.
FOOTBALL FANS
GAINEXTYEAR
Chicago, Dec. 16 (U.R) Ha).
John L. Griffith, Big Ten ath
letic commissioner, said today
that a questionnaire poll of fool
ball fans has revealed that the
public wants collegiate football
to continue in 1944.
Griffith is also president of
the Athletic Institute, Inc.,
which conducted the poll by
passing out 20,000 question
naires at football games on the
last weeks of the season. The
Institute said results of the poll
were based on 1,300 returns
from 12 states.
Griffith said that 98 per cent
of the football tana liked the
navy's policy of permitting V-12
students to compete on college
teams and many offered unso
licited opinions that the army
should have relaxed its ruling
denying its college students
from participating.
"The policy of the army and
navy should be the same," one
fan wrote. "It is not fair for
some schools to use navy
trainees, while others are denied
the use of army trainees. The
army should change its policy.
