    ARMY WKADES BOWL WITH ALI ITS HEAVY ARTILLERY THRILLS GALORE IN FOOTBALL GAME Grid Breaks Come Quick. Heroes Easily Made After all, the thrill is the big thing in any sport. Baseball thrives for six months of play because every game is different, and a game without a half dozen thrills of varying degree is the ex- ception. Football, for the same reason, takes the center of the stage when the baseball season draws to close and for three months keeps sport lovers enthused. Each Saturday during the football season scores of games produce plays that provide topics for discus sion during the off season. Watching the Chicago-Ohio State game, which ended in 3 to 3 tie, I had plenty of opportunities to realize why the old grad never loses intcrest-why thousands who never attended college are strong for the gridiron game. It’s the thrill 1t offers.
