Powers is Sponsor for Bald Statement. Has Well-Detailed Intention of Grid. Ironing That Fair Land With Leagues of Gradually Increas ing Importance.

All the best young players affected by the war department ruling will bo lu the army. "With ull the best talent there' and good new talent coming to the surface we ought to have dome games.
