When , en army detachment moved in ' at the field where West Seattle high chool athletes perform, the ' kids looked around and saw that the soldiers were shy on athletic equipment ... So they passed the hat and collected $38.92 not a lot, but enough to get a few games going . . . Most of you folks have an army or navy outfit somewhere near, so how about taking a tip from the high school kidsT . . . Charley Hunter, the San Francisco Olym pic club coach, predicts that Cor nelius Warmerdam will achieve that 16-foot pole vault during his i coming eastern tour, if. the weather is hot enough . . . Hun ter says Connie finally has mas tered vaulting with a 13-foot 10 Inch grip . . . Charley Grimm, the Milwaukee Brewers' mana ger, says he's planning to buy a couple of jeeps for his Missouri farm when hostilities cease. ' ........ . ' SERVICE DEPT. The marines have landed: When Marine Sergeant Farmer Seale, former Birmingham sports writer, learned that his c outfit was trailing the army and naw in this department, he passed the word along and a memo from southern recruiting division headquarters suggested contributions were in order . . . The next mail brought the news ; that a detachment led by Staff Sgt. Herbert Breeden, who used to play football for ole Miss., had Invaded Rollins college in Flor ida and signed up the entire first string grid team for the marine corps reserve ... Word comes via the sporting news that army baseball at Fort Riley, Kas., car ries the light touch. When Pvt. Ed Cole, former Brownie, was pitching a night game against a semi-pro club, the opponents pro tested because Cole's army iden tification tag had slipped out side his shirt and the reflection was bothering the batters And when the lights were turned on at 9 p. m. for another game, Pvt. Joe Gantenbein, formerly . of the Athletics, wisecracked: "Any errors made by our club ttl Mvunrntf vnn't be coinciden tal; in the barracks they turn out the lights at this tune." BUT A GOOD CIGAR IS A SMOKE When big Ted Norbert of the Portland Beavers became a pap- cy a few weeks ago, his supply of. cigars ran out before he got around to L. H. Gregory, the Oregonlan sports editor, so Ted promised to dedicate a home run to him Instead . . . "Let me know before you go to the plate," Greg requested ... A few nights ago, Norbert strolled over to the press box and remarked: -"Remember the promise Greg? Well, here it goes." . . . And on the first pitch he slammed one over the fence.

Organization of the gridiron program Is in line with tho mill. tary s present campaign to en courage every sort of competi tive athletics and probably will serve to encourage schools and universities that might have wor ried about their football pros pects for next fall.

' The forehand backswing Is a rather flat ellipse. Start your backswing and get into position when the ball leaves your oppo nent's racket. Body is sideways at about a 40-degree angle at the net. Stroke the ball at the right side of the body, approximately three feet away, allowing for the length of your arm and racket. With your . backswing, : the weight is on the right foot and when the racket starts to the ball, the weight shifts to the left foot. This is known as "step ping into your shot."
