Coach McCain is naturally
eager to see his boys win this
first one, since it’s his first year
as head coach of a Class AA high
school eleven. He’s a bit anxious
about whether or not some of his
boys will display enough fire. If
they travel at the speed of which

They went through a light
workout yesterday in preparation
for the opening tussle, and Coach
McCain said all hands were ready
for a "country try” at the Bull-
dogs, with the exception of min-
or injuries, which shouldn’t keep
any of the performers out of the
tussle. Roy Blanton, who plays
either at center or tackle, was
limping some with an ankle in-
jury, but is expected to see ac-
tion.
Fans who attend the game to-
night will see the Leopards use,
principally, the double wingback
style of offense, which was at one
time very popular in - Gainesville,
having been first introduced here
by Swede McMrry, former Leop-
ard coach. It was under McMur-
ry that the new coach, Horace
McCain, received his training.
McCain hopes his backs can
pick up a few needed yards this
season over the ground, some-
thing they failed to. do much of
last season. Ready for emergency

fore mid-October. Notice was sent

An Experienced Team
In facing the Bulldogs the
locals are tackling a team with
the biggest and most experienced
boys in Cowtown grid circles but
this does not seem to awe Mc-
Cain’s pupils, who are determined
to put football back on the map
in Gainesville. They want this
first game badly and will be put-
ting out every effort to chalk up
a victory.
Though the pep squad members
have had little time to organize,
they’ll be on hand tonight as
usual to offer moral support to
their favorites.
Indications at present are that
the teams will have fair weather
to blast open the season and a
large crowd in attendance.
The opening whistle is carded
for 8 o’clock.

creased responsibility and burden
on the infantryman,” he contin-
ued. “To the dogged courage and
fortitude which his fighting re-
quires must be added a high de-
gree of individual initiative.
Many weapons must be mastered
and many types of warfare, along
with the complicated pattern of
amphibious warfare.”
“In the vast war in the air, on
the sea and over the ground, the
infantry rifleman must take the
final and - decisive action,” he
stated. "He must destroy the en-
emy or drive him ofi the battle-
field.” “
The Knockout Blow
“The dramatic introduction to
blitz warfare and powerful air
forces caused this fundamental of
warfare to be forgotten,” Gen.
Marshall concluded. “Today, it
is apparent to all and the nation
looks to the -doughboy to over-
whelm the enemy and administer
the knockout blow for the final
victory.”

of soldiers wearing the combat

General Robert C. Richardson,

cific, commented he “was glad
such recognition was being given
to a branch of the service that
does a lot of work, but doesn’t
get much glory.”

Daily Register Correspondent
CAPE GLOUCESTER. — The
infantry, somewhat less glamor-
ous to date than other branches
of the service, is still the queen
of battle in the Pacific.
As the war moves nearer Ber-
lin in Europe and the Philippines
in the Pacific, infantrymen are
upholding the adage that the
foot soldier in the long run is the
one who wins battles.
Public appreciation, according
to Time magazine, "has lagged
far behind.” American infantry-
men in the Pacific, however, be-
lieve their role in the urrent
war is the most important.
New Britain jungle warriors
particularly have invited those
who disagree to sleep for a week
in a foxhole and to follow them
on a patrol in the bush, eating
nothing but K and C rations for a
week or longer.
Infantrymen, contrary to some
opinion, are not misfits whom no
other branch desires. Learning
the technical operations of infan-
try weapons and how to protect
yourself in combat requires a
high degree of skill, common
sense and physical stamina.
Casualties Are Heavy
The infantry, which suffers
more than half America’s battle
casualties, also undergoes the
greatest hardships, takes the most
chances.
As compared with troops in
other branches, the infantryman
(walks more and rides less, eats
’ more concentrated food and
fewer hot meals, gets dirtier and
I takes fewer hot baths.
I After the softening up process
by naval and aerial bombard-
ment, the infantry storms the
beach head, most dangerous of
all ground operations, and paves
the way for other troops to come
ashore.
A one man fighting machine,
the infantryman carries his
equipment on his back, meets the
enemy face to face and in the end
exterminates him.
Testimony of the importance of
the infantry has been offered by
various high ranking military of-
ficers.
“This is the day of the dough-
boy, the time for his greatest
service,” said General George C.
Marshall in an Infantry day
statement, last June 15.” “He has
already earned a reputation in
this war as a skilful and deter-
mined fighter. His gallantry and

In American Resume Fight
After 4-Day Rest Period
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Draft board calls and a pro-football exhibition added further
confusing overtones to the American league chase today ‘ as three of
the four contenders went back into action after a four-day “holiday.”
THE LEOPARDS WILL be out-
weighed considerably in their
first game. The Tech line averages
something like 178 pounds, as
against 164 for the Leopards and
the visiting backfield’s average is
154 pounds, the Leopards being
148. Team average for the Bull-
dogs is around 170 pounds while
that of the Leopards is 158
pounds. In other words the Leop-
ards will be outweighed by about
12 pounds pei*'. man. That won t
matter so much if the local boys
show more speed.
A FEW HIH SCHOOL foot-
• ball games were played last night
as a preliminary to the main
