Mead Urges Playing Os Army-Navy Game ... Football Tilt Again Back In Headlines (By United Press) The army-navy football game is back in thu headline again. Thin time senator Jam<-» M«-ad of New York ha* n-afflnn-d hi* belief that the game should be staged this year. In a letter to acting secretary of war Patterson, be urge* that the classic be played at <»ome large stadium In an eastern city. Mead nay* the game should be played for army-nnvy relief or some other worthy cause—and also for the entertainment it would provide for service men and wur workers. But droplte Mead’s plea, the game appeared headed for the discard. The navy department would like nothing better than to have It played. But the army is reported opposed to it on the grounds that keeping spectator sports going during wartime is not one of the army's jobs. Mead ha* *<>m< fine arguments. From 75. WM) to 100.000 fan* could see the game. If it were played at a big statidum in a Metropolitan city such as New York or Philadelphia. He claims that It could be played at a time when there would be so danger of a transportation jam. And he argue* that if tickets were sold only to persons residing In the city where the game I* played, no essential travel facilities* would be wasted. Mead as well as the game's other supporter*- sees no reason for cancelling It. He believes that competitive athletics are making a definite contribution to the war effort. He points to Russian and England, where crowd) of more than 100.000 fan* turn out for nport spectacles. Other sports events In tbl* country are well attended. Baselia)! and horse racing—two of (he biggest spectator sport*- have no thought of giving up. Even football L< attempting to carry on in spite of wartime obstacle* Almut 200 colleges have dropped the tiport. but In virtually all case* It I* because of a lack of manpower. Those schools which have enough men—and that means mainly these with naval trainees - are planning full schedules rhl* fall. xFrom this standpoint, there is little reason for either th* naval or military academy to cut down on football. And neither one I* contemplating such a move. The only curtailment propo-ed hi the ArmyNavy game— because of Its great spectator appeal. Otherwise. West Point and Annapolis will go ahead as mual- guaranteed of an even greater than normal oupply of player* because of larger enrollment. The war department holds the key to the situation. Army Is the botne team this year, and it ha* the right to apeclfy where th" game will lie played—if It's to lie playtails are In yet. , Planes from Britain carried out scattered aaaaultn over the weekend on target* throughout the occupied < uuntrie* of weatern Europe. In France, important rail centers and 10 locomotives were smashed near Dieppe. Two ships In an Axis convoy off Holland were crippled. Four of the nix enemy planes trying io defend the convoy were shot down. Other A Hied planes patrolling the Dutch coast destroyed four more Axis planes. In the German city of Cologne, the British say fires are still smouldering, one week after the last raid. And the Axis-controlled Park* radio says that 100 buildings were smashed In the recent Amer ! k»n raid on Amstedram.
