Herbert Orin Crisler does not
|confine himself to platitudes, but
deals in fundamentals in outlining
the college athlete’s position in the
war.. ee

“College athletics can supply

four great needs of the armed
forces,” says Fritz Crisler. “They
are: Material, leadership, morale
and physical fitness.”

Michigan’s distinguished athletic
director and head football coach
puts forth a constructive sugges-
tion. War should broaden, not cur-
tail, athletic participation.

To further that end, Crisler intro-
duced a proposal to add 150-pound
football to the Western Confer-
ence program. The “lightweights”
have been playing right along, and
with tremendous enthusiasm, in the
east.

Crisler’s suggestion is one of.
undeniable merit, There is no per-
centage it the health department
in only a talented few participat-
ing in football, or any other game.

We are no longer spectators. in
this war,

We are participants.

It is time for America to get

| out of the stands.
