And it they can put as good play- ers on the football gridiron as they fielded softball players this year then the success of the football season can rest ‘assured.

the four airforce teams in softball league just finished ben- efitted the game immeasurably in this City. In addition to putting good teams on the field the Airmen displayed a quality of sportsman- ship in each and every game that was praiseworthy.

a n a Of course the other teams in the league also deserve loads of praise but if the Airmen hadn't been pre- sent a different story of the success of the league might have to be writ- ten. That is why we think presence of an airforce team in the coming football season might lend an ad- ded amount of competition to the league and at the same time add impetus to the revival that the-grid- iron game has been enjoying the past several seasons.
