T REMAINED for Florida and
West Point to get the first war
All-American in Colin Kelly who de-
livered the three death thrusts to
the first Japanese
battleship to be
sunk. The Florida
and West Point
fighter found death
in a brilliant coun-
ter stroke when
such was badly
needed after the
Japanese raids on
Hawaii. Captain
Kelly was closely
followed by Lieu-
GrantlandRice tenants Wagner and.
Keller in setting up
a new honor roll along the road to
glory. This new All-America honor
roll is one that is sure to grow
where the main trouble will be giv-
ing due credit to so many con-
cerned, not overlooking those gal-
lant marines on Wake island. Colin
Kelly's performance in diving
through three anti-aircraft blasts for
three direct hits on the hostile bat-
tleship was not only the final word
in bravery but also the fina] touch
in the amazing nerve control need-
ed for ths triple blow.
Sports Fortune
Queries including letters and tele-
grams continue to arrive asking
what the future of sport should be.
The answer is etirely in the hands
of the government at Washington.
Tbcy know the types of sport that
will still he badly needed--and they
also know the types that mll be
out of order until the war is over.
It will naturally take a certain
amount of time to get the right
program set up. In the meanwhile
it is better to keep original programs
going until changes are needed un-
der government order. There is
no occasion for any panic along this
line as competitive sport can still
play a big part in the way of physi-
cal fitness and morale under proper
superwsion and direction.
The war situation in regard to
sport is a far different thing from
what it was at this time a year ago.
Then there was largely apathy on
all sides. It is entirely different
now. Everything else is completely
overshadowed, as it should be, by
the greatest emergency this cots-
try has ever known.
Sport can still play its part in the
way of national conditioning and na-
tional morale, but there will be a
far larger call on all atbletes t@+
help out, and classifications will. be
changed abruptly and on an ex-

This can be done by closer atter

This country, for one thing, need
