.. * IN "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.

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.
