By RED GRANGE - Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Football enters its first war -year with enthusiasm. The world-wide hostilities: are a challenge to the game, which has boasted for years of the fine, tough, hard-hitting young men who graduate from its ranks. Official. Washington: has cast a smile in football’s direction. . The formation of two army teams, which will play an eight-game: ex=
