id Season
By WILL GRIMSLEY
NEW YORK, Aug. 31 — (AP)—
College football practice begins on
a broad, national scale tomorrow
with the sport in perhaps the un
steadiést, most nervous state in its
history. ‘
More than half hundred coaches
wiil be familiarizing themselves
with new squads, the result of
wholesale shakeups among head
strategists since the close of the
last campaign.
Many a familiar figure will be
missing from the coaching lines—
Minnesota's Bernie Bierman,
Texas' Blair Cherry, Stanford’s
Marchie Schwartz, Southern Cali
fornia’s Jeff Cravath, Duke's Wal
lac> Wade, to name a few.
In a majority of instances, it was
a case of veteran mentors having
their mill of high-pressure foot
ball. They ran to less ulcerous pro
fessions.,
Thirty-three smaller colleges
which fielded teams a year ago
aren’t answering the bell at all
Xhey found they couldn’t exist in
this era of two-platoons, million
dollar radio and television.
The spring and summer basket
ball scanrals and the exam-crib
bing probe at West Point, that
wrecked the country’s second
ranked team, have brought de
mands for a return to strict
amateurism in college athletics.
The one experiment in that dir
ection, the sanity code, is dead—
slainat the winter college meet
ing In Dallas—but the National
Collegeiate Athletic Association is
still alive and kicking.
Just yesterday, the NCAA laid
down a 12-point program for
strengthening the sport’'s moral
backbone-—less practice, less re
cruiting, fewer athletic scholor
ships. The sanity code in a new
dress. |
Then there’s the television head- |
ache., SBome colleges want it, some‘
don’t. So they're giving home
viewers a restricted diet on an
experimental basis.
This lis largely the confused
picture as hundreds of muscled
young athletes romp out on the‘
tield and start banging heads m 1
preliminary maneuvers.
The Eastern, Southern, South
easter and Southwest Colleges hit!
the practice wire simultaneously
tomorrow. The big ten won’t get
started until Tuesday. |
Flores Holds Own
After Operation
NEW YORK, Aug. 31—(AP)—
George Flores, ecritically injured
in a Mnockout at Madison Square
Garden Wednesday night, held his
own today while doctors debated
whether a second brain operation
is necessary.
The 20-year-old Brooklyn Wel
terweight failed to regain com
plete eonsciousness after he was
floored by Roger Donoghue of
Yonkers, N. Y., in the eighth
round of their bout, preceding the
title fight between welterweight
champion Kid Gavilan and Billy
Graham,
Flores' eondition remained *“very
oritical.”

Retail sales in Georgia contin
ued to decline during July with
average sales off 19 per cent from
those of a year ago and 9 per cent
less than those of June, according
to the latest report of the Univers
ity of Georgia’s Bureau of Business
Research.
Biggest sales decreases were re
ported by stores handling house
hold appliances, radios, hardware,
farm equipment and automobiles.
The hardware and farm equipment
dealers were the hardest hit show=-
ing a sharp decline of 35 percent
over a year ago.
Close behind them were auto
mobile dealers whose sales drop
ped 30 per cent from July 1950.
Despite the overall decline some
retail dealers showed an increase
in sales, the Bureau reported, The
greatest rise was in restaurants,
cafeterias, and lunchrooms where
sales went up 13 per cent above
those of a year ago and 10 per
cent above those of June, Men’s
and boys’ clothing and furnish
ing stores, drug stores, and jewel
ry stores also showed sales in
creases.
The overall sales decline is ex
plained by the Bureau as partly a
natural drop from the abnormal
buying spurt that followed the
outbreak of the Korean War last
summer. Government credit re
strictions and the decline in home
building also accounts for much
of the sales drop.
In its report the University Bu
reau points out that the new cre
dit regulations which went into
effect July 31 will tend to improve
the position of those businesses
hardest hit by the sales decline in
July. The consumer can now buy
appliances with 15 per cent down
and 18 months to pay whereas the
earlier regulation required 25 per
cent down with only 15 months to
complete payments.
Generally, sales conditions that
existed over the state during July
held true for the state’s largest
cities. Exceptions to the rule were
a decline in restaurant sales in
Atlanta and a rise in food store
sales in Columbus. Off-setting this
rise in Columbus was the drop
there of 41 per cent in lumber and
building supplies sales, the sharp
est decline reported by any inde
pendent stores.
August sales are expected to be

INVENTOR WANIS SMELLY TALKIES
By LUCIANO FERRARI
AP Newsfeatures
MILAN — Before long your
neighborhood movie may be ad
vertising:
“Breathe the scented air of a
south sea island paradise in
the beautiful of speed and dar
ing in the world's most perilous
auto race replete with the smell
of burning rubber and the odor
of exhaust fumes ...”
All this and more may come to
pass if Italian inventor Alberto
Basso-Ricci has his way.
Signor Bisso-Ricei, 28-year
old Milan radio engineer claims
to have invented a machine
which will add fragrances and
odors to any film story as it is
projected on the screen.
His machine, looking some
thing like an army field radio,
can be installed in a 1,500 seat
movie theatre for about $4,000.
~ The fragrances and smells
' would be piped to each seat in
'the movie house. The machine
works automatically. Once started
it can provide more than 30 dif
ferent scents, fragrances, orods or
smells as they are called for on the
screen.
Singor Basso-Ricci’'s machine
is equally efficient whether the
movie's scenes are in ‘the kit
chen, the rainy tropics, or a
beach.
The appretizing oder of a steak
frying in butter, for insctance, is
something he guarantees.
For movie advertising. Signor
Basso-Ricei thinkss he has
something that manufactures
have been waiting for a long
time. For example, the candy
maker’s slide would be project
ed on the screen just as the fra
grance of fudge in the making hits
the nostrils.
‘The movielgoer allergic to smel-
Is or scents can turn off the out
let at his seat.
Under favorable conditions, an
airplane can be seen at 10,000 to
15,000 feet altitude. ‘

Facing The Facts Calmly Takes
Some Of The Fear Out Of Polio
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Even though there may not be
any remarkable new discoveries
concerning polio, every year it
seems a good plan to discuss this
dread disease about the time it is
likely to hit its peak. Polio is ter
ribly alarming and it is therefore
wise to review the known and
unknown facts calmly and sensi
bly.
Perhaps the think which fright
ens people most is the mysterious
and unexpected way in which po
lio so often strikes. One year,
for example, there may be a iot of
cases in three or four states and
the next some other regions will
turn out the worst. It is true that
there is no good explanation for
this type of behavior on the part
of polio as yet, and indeed spot
maps of polio throughout the en
tire world show the same curious
actions.
For the last year or two there
have been more than forty thou
sand persons attacked by this dis
ease each year in the United
States. This seems like a great
many and it is certainly nothing
to be complacent about. But one
should réemember that in a popu
lation of some one hundred and
fifty million this is only one in
three or four thousand so that the
chanhces of escaping are pretty
good.
Furthermore, (though more will
be said about this later) a high
proportion of those who are strick
en not only recover, but have
practically nothing permanent to
show that they ever had the di
sease.
For all these reasons neither
parents nor children should be un
duly nervous since the chances
of escaping difficulty are good
even in those regions which hap
pen to be bad in a particular
year. This is not to say that care
lessness is ever safe and a few
precautions are certainly in or
der.
Forecasting Difficult
Polio is not strictly a late sum
mer and early fall disease. In
the northern hemisphere (it
tends to be reversed in the
scuthern) polio usually starts in
the spring in southern areas and
moves north as the weather warms
up.
But at first the cases are rather
few and far between and it is
usually impossible to tell whether
any particular year will be bad in
this respect until late summer or
fall. New cases fall off rapidly
