Chicago coach Jimmy Phelan and University of Washington title coach Jeff Heath praise a Cleveland and Indian outfielder as the best high school halfback he had ever seen Mortality of males is higher than females at nearly the same rate across age groups.
Youth across U. S. high schools join a major aviation training program tied to wartime needs. Described as the most far reaching change to secondary education, the plan envisions a two year course shaping a generation for war effort or leadership should peace arrive earlier. ATCA units equip boys in blue-gray uniforms with overseas caps bearing corps insignia as instruction proceeds.
The program adds special courses that will join fall curricula, teaching air navigation, communications, aerodynamics, meteorology, design and engines. At Isaac Young High School in New Rochelle students build scale wooden planes to Army and Navy specs, painting them black to hide types as spotters identify models from various angles. An other class uses actual airplane parts including an engine head and propeller for hands on design lessons, with a wind tunnel demonstration.
In New York City, ATCA students learn air current effects and flight theory under a manual supervised by the U.S. Air Force Training Command. Many instructors are former Army Air Corps fliers, with students continuing aviation talk after school and pursuing home projects and inventive teaching aids.
