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.

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.

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- I PETER PUBLIC--Fun on a Bus 00(00u.m+wmm +'W, 1 2 By F.
