"Professional athletes aren't wanted
in the trenches," says the Scotch med-
icine man. Just speaking off hand
we'd say that even after the lounge
lizards had been scattered around to
stop the bullets there would be plenty
of room and occupation for the braw-
.ny ones. The professional baseball
hurler with his overhand swing ought
to be right sensational- tossing back
the grenades. Why wouldn't the pig-
skin passer be handy in detecting a
weakness in the Visitors' line? A
tractist really ought to star -at sprint-
ing over No Man's Land to plant the
flag in the Boches' territory and dash-
ing back for breakfast. That old for-
ward on the basketball team will be a
bird around a detention camp, caging
the spies. Just speaking off hand we'd
say that those gone-but-not-forgotten
heroes have their little uses.
