Play Last Game
Against All-Stars
CHICAGO, Aug. 29 (UP) Don
Hutson, the spindle-legged Arkan
sas farm boy who became foot
ball's greatest end, bids farewell
to the game that made him fa
mous tomorrow night when the
Green Bay Packers meet the col
lege all-stars in the 12th annual
all-star grid classic.
Some 90,000 fans are expected
to jam soldier field to view the
colorful spectacle and to watch
Hutson, still fleet and elusive at
32, play his final game.
The skinny speedster with the.
over-sized hands and breakaway
stride has announced his retire-'
ment annually since 1942, but this
time he means it. After 10 pro
football campaigns with the Pack-.j
ers, he knows that his slender
legs can t stand many more
knocks and he wants to quit be
fore it is too late.
He has served as un assistant
to head coach Curly Lambeau for
the past two seasons and he plans
to continue in that capacity dur
ing the grid season and operate
his Green Bay, Wis., bowling em
porium the rest of the year.

In 1944 the Browns won the
American league pennant because
they could whip , the Tigers; in
1945 the banner may go to the
Tigers because they can beat the
Biowns.
Maybe it is revenge that moti
vates the Tigers, but so far this
season they have done better
against the Browns than any
other club in the league. They
won their 13th game in 17 starts
with the Browns last night and
they did it easily, Hal Newhouser
pitching his 21st triumph at St.
Louis. Lutt year St. Louis won
13 of 22 games, with Detroit.
. . Gets Lead
It was an important game for
Detroit to win, coming after three
straight losses to the nondescript
Indians. Moreover, it cooled off
the Biowns who had swept back
into the pennant picture with 19
victories in 24 games.
Newhouser got off to a 3 to 0
lead in the first inning on Roy
Cullenbine's throe run homer. In
the third inning Hank Greenberg
and Bob Maier made it 7 to 0
with a pair of two-run round
trip wallops. .
Senators Win
The victory ' kept Detroit a
game and a half ahead of Wash
ington which put on a late drive
to top the last place Athletics at
Philadelphia, 6 to 5. Rick Ferrell
won the game in the ninth with
his first homer of the year.
The rapidly rejuvenating Yan
kees won their fifth straight
game lo stay in contention, beat
ing Boston at New York, 8 to 7.
Johnny Lazor, Eddie Lake and
Lamar NewSome hit round trip
pers for the Red Sox to account
for five runs.
Feller Wins
Bobby Feller won his second
straight game since leaving the
navy, coasting to an 8 to 2 vie-

THAT wear-defying toughness in Wolverine Shell
lloi-sehides is mighty important these days. It means,
first of all, months and miles of money-saving extra
wear for you. It also means that you and millions of
others won't need work shoes nearly so often and the
limited supply will go much farther. But don't forget
that Wolverines are not onlv tough and wear resist
ant but they're also soft as buckskin and flexible as
bamboo they even dry out that way after soaking.
That means a world of extra comfort so vou can work longer
work harder and do more without tiring. See us, get the facts.

BERLIN, Aug. 29. (UP) The
Red army of Russia, which has
concentrated on mass athletic
spectacles plus soccer, now is pre
paring to take up track and field
sports and may compete in the
next Olympics, according to Col.
Alexei Elizarov, chief of the sov
let ' politbureau here.
His job is comparable to that
or chief of public relations. Ehz
arov is an important and respect
ed official in the allied districts
of Berlin as well as in the Rus
sian, where this reporter had to
obtain two passes in order to
meet him on the third floor of the
large, gray Russian "kommand
atura" building in the devastated
downtown area. Entering a big
room, simply but impressive fur
nished and with dark-blue cur
tains over the French windows,
there could immediately be seen
at the far end a large picture of
Josef Stalin, Elizarov sat under
neath it at a large table covered
with blue cloth.'
This man, nearly six feet tall
and wel-built, rose wooden-faced
as this reporter entered, accom
panied by an interpreter, Sgt. Is
rael Idelsohn of. Detroit, Elizrov
wore a khaki uniform with red
and gold epaulets and three stars.
The interpreter explained the
nature of the visit and Elizrov
suddenly smiled and said "sports."
Whereupon he motioned us to
seats and began a genial conver
sation through the interpreter.
I explained that the people of
the United States knew little
about Russian sports and conse
quently wondered whether t h e
Russians would compete, for the
first time, in the Olympics.
"I have not been home for so
long that I have an indefinite
knowledge regarding the Olym
pics," Elizarov said. "However, I
do know that the army is pre
paring to take up track and field
in which it is arranging to com
pete with the Americans, British
and Flench in the Olympic sta
dium here next September.
"It is my purely personal opin
ion that Russia will compete in
the next Olympics if meanwhile
our athletes demonstrate ability
to. make fair showings, overcom
ing our lack of previous experience."

Snead, Nelson
Even With Par
Over Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa., Aug. 29 (UP)
Byron Nelson and Sammy
Snead were out to break par to
day over the super-tough 7,100
yard Oakmont golf course u
feat that no golfer has been uble
to accomplish in 72-hole tourna
ment play in the club's 42-year
history.
Both were at even par of 144
at the half-way mark of the two
day $10,000 war bond "blue rib
bon" tournament. The other tvo
entrants, Harold McSpaden and
Gene Sarazen fell by the way
side. Nelson and Snead put on a
brilliant duel yesterday, playing
the second 18 holes in sub-par
after finishing the morning round
above regulation figures.
Nelson put on the pressure in
the last nine holes to pull up even
with Snead, erasing a four stroke
lead. Nelson's last nine shooting
gave him a two-under par 70 to
add to his morning round of 74.
Snead took a 73 in the morn-'
ing and a 71 in the afternoon.
McSpaden had a 36-hole total of
155 and Sarzcn's was 158.

at fvery V&ti Opgh to Know... f
about her FamilyWjfite Food Supply!
O (And how to make sure of plenty ... of the best!) Here
are a few questions and answers that will be of interest
to every homeinaker in Oregon and Washington.
H QUESTION: First of all, will there be
more or less commercially canned food
available for Chilians this winter?
ANSWER: Less. In fact, it lias been estimated
by the War Food Administration that there
will be less than last year.
CL QUESTION: Did the ending of the war,
in Europe ease the food situation?
ANSWER: No. The armed forces still need
more than ever before. Remember, they must
have food that can be shipped and won't spoil.
) QUESTION: What happens to us civi
lians? Where will wc get all the canned vege
tables and fruits we need this winter?
ANSWER: Home canning will have to supply
most of them.
u
QUESTION: Suppose I can't buy t pre.
sure canner or even borrow one?
ANSWER: Your local newspaper may be ablt
to direct you to a community canning center
QUESTION: The $64 question: Sugar?
ANSWER: Your local War Price and Ration
ing board will allow extra sugar needed for
canning up to 10 pounds per person. And
remember, home economics experts from ths
staffs of national women's magazines and city
newspapers stand ready to help with special
sugarsaving canning recipes. Consult them
for this extra wartime help!

QUESTION: Isn't it being optimistic to
expect home canr.ers to supply so much food?
ANSWER : Not if you know American
women! Last year half the canned vegetables
and two-thirds of the canned fruits that civi
lians ate were home canned.
QUESTION: It's all very well to want to
can but isn't it B either tough proposition
for the average woman to undertake?
ANSWER: It's actually easier than you think!
And this year, canning equipment will be
mure plentiful.
QUESTION: Will there be enough pres
sure canners?
ANSWER: There have been more pressure
cannen manufactured this year, and iby
ru t muoqcU.
QUESTION: Say, it does look as if home
canning might be more important this year
But what do I can?
ANSWER: The excess from your Victory
Garden. Or fresh vegetables and fruits in sea
son. Northwest crops with a few minor
exceptions are bountiful this year! (Can all
you can nutrition standards call for at least
four and, if possible, six to seven servings of
fruits and vegetables every day.)
' QUESTION: All right, you've definitely
interested me in home canning. But . . . I'm
not quitt up on my canning technique. What
do I do?
ANSWER: Easf ! City, state and federal agen
cies are standing by to help you. Women
pages of your local newspapers will prove a
tremendous help throughout the canning sea
son. The Home Economics department of your
state agricultural college will dispense thfl
latest tested procedures. And the U, S. Depart
ment of Agriculture will be glad to send you
numerous helpful bulletins! Your bookstort
can supply you easy-to-read volumes oij can
ning ... or you can read the same inform
tion at the nearest public library.
