This committee has started’a coun- trywide campaign for the recruiting of college athletes who won fame in the days that indicate that they are now beyond military age. Hundreds of men are needed as thletic directors with the troops overseas. “Big Bill) Edwards - who is also tackling another war problem as Col- lector of Internal Revenue has-sum- med up briefly the work of the team and the men they seek as follows: “Any athlete who has stood the strain of an athletic contest, whether itrbe football, basketball, track or any other competition. is good enough for service abroad. A man that has stood the contest in big championship games and knows what it means to be on his mark and start and finish a race is the kind of man that Uncle Sam needs ‘over there.’ “A man who is morally unfit would not consider himself as an applicant for the job.
