By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—It't a new kind of skull practice Jack Kelly it busy with these days As Federal Qirector of national health, the old worlds champion sculler is devoting his mental processes to a program dedicated to bigger and better red corpuscles. You may not realize it but we are getting closer and closer to regimentation ih many ways. Happily the national health program has ite virtues and does not conflict with any of the four freedoms. Nobody should object seriously to any move designed to add to his physical solvency. In & very vital sense this ties in with our all-out defense setup. Sissies and softies dont win wars. Until the draft came along we prided ourselves on being a nation of he-men, a vast physical blend of Dempsey, Tunney and Douis. We could whip anybody in the house. Then came the bleak disillusionment. Army doctors started

examining the flower of our manhood. The returns were appalling. Some 45 per cent were rejected as cally unfit. Those of us who have been close to sports all our life haven't gotten over the shock yet. We are supposed to be the most sportsminded nation in the world. Our yearly bills for sports equipment and sports admissions reach astronomical figures. We play as hard at we work—maybe harder—and yet fhe records show we are a nation of panty-waists. That's why Jack Kelly, the old sculler, has a big and important job on his hands. It doesn't make for exciting rea and it isn't going to be exciting in the doing but it's worthy of serious study and serfous application. For if we are as flabby and fragile as the draft examinations tend to show, we need looking into—and right away. We trust Brother Kelly appreciates the magnitude of the job and that he is prepared to go to town on it in his usual vigorous manner, He talks of bringing in a lot of names to help him—Jack Dempsey, Tommy Harmon, Bob Jones and Paul Costello, who used to row with him in the double sculls.

But there's one ‘gentleman Mr. Kelly doesn’t mention and if we were going about the job he'd head our list. We refer to Ernie Hjertberg of Jonkoping, Sweden, age 73, a transplanted American, Mr. Kelly may not know it but the baby he holds close to his manly chest at the moment-—national health—-was fetched boldly and brazenly from cld Ernie's door steps, We've lost track of the years old Ernie has been going around the world preaching the gospel of mass athletics, any form of group ‘exercise that would keep the nation in reasonably good shape. He's shuffled in and out of countless health offices, athletic clubs and sports departments trying to put his idea across. Nobody could ever see anyhing wrong with it but nobody could ever see any great need for ft . . . after all weren't we the most sports-minded nation in the world? It took a second World War—and our own subsequent draft horrors —to make Ernie look good. He had been right from the start. “I know what I'm talking about,” he'd say. “I've been over in Europe

coaching track and fleld and I've seen what they are doing.” He was particularly excited about Germany. “They're the healthiest people in the world and believe it or not they're getting ready for another war.” ! “Mind what I'm telling you,” he'd shake his head stubbornly, | “Those Germans are just biding their time and when the time comes they are going to be ready, ready physically, every youth: and nian and even every girl and woman. Every little neighborhood over there has its own athletic club and everybody ‘in the neighborhood is’ a member—a must member. That's what we ought to have over here.” This may still be the best and most direct approach ‘to Brother Kelly's problem—neighborhood athletic clubs, a place where every= body in the family can put in a few licks in the interest of health at regularly spaced intervals. And if Brother Kelly won't think us presumptuous we'd like to suggest that he call in old Ernie, put him on the board and give him the green light. It certainly wouldn’t be right to ignore him, since he was the pioneer, and it would cere tainly be short sighted not to make use of his great experience and years of planning.

of a dowen world marks, trailed his teammate, Nakama, by 49 seconds in the 800 meter freestyle. Smith blamed his poor showing on the oppressive weather and said even the water in Maplewood Pool was hot.
