NEW YORK, Dec. 5-JP-LAte last summer, when the army an
nounced it would not permit its trainees in colleges to play var
sity football, Lehigh university 'announced it would not schedule
games for its civilian football team with schools playing navy
and marine students, and we wrote
a story lauding that stand.
We didn't see, and still can't see,
any percentage in a bunch of fuzz-
faced 17 - year -olds
, going out
there and getting
their brains
knocked out by
collection
of r
older, more ex-f

Well, we have "
a report on how" Lehigh, and its
twojellow members of the middle
three conference -Lafayette and
Rutgers - fared this year on the
gridiron, and are happy to dis
cover . they finished their seasons.
If they had played the service-
manned schools the season pro
bably would have finished them.
Anyway, to back ap Into the
history mt the decision to try
to play a civilian schedule, the
presidents and athletic directors
f the three schools held numer
ous meetings to map out some
kind of a plan for football dar
Inc the war.
The most serious problem was
the loss of students, about 250 out
of a normal enrollment of 1000
being left at Lafayette and not
many more at Lehigh, Each of the
threeNschools also lost its coach,
one by death, another by enlist
ment in the navy, and a third by
leave of absence.
It was agreed to try to keep the
conference rivalry alive, and the
three schools started practice Sep
tember 27. There were no pre
season camps and the regular
members of the physical educatfbn
staff doubled as coaches ben
Walfson of Lafayette, Harry Rock
afellow at Rutgers and Leo Pren-
dergrast at Lehigh.
' It was discovered that many
boys who ordinarily wouldn't
OPA Reclassifies Reclaimed
Tires, Increases Grade 3 Quota
Tires '' manufactured from reclaimed rubber (war tires) may
now be bought by those persons heretofore eligible for used tires,
the district OPA announced last week.
These provisions are made by
(new tires) to grade III (war
tires) in order to meet the
creased demand for grade
va
lll tires.
Those now eligible for grade III
tires include: -- ' " - '
1. Automobile drivers with gaso
line ration books issued for oc
cupational driving.
2. Operators of commercial ve
hicles which deliver medical sup
plies, drugs, dry cleaning (ap
parel only) and essential foods.
Also included are those" vehicles
used exclusively by medical or
dental laboratories.
3. Persons, such as military per
sonnel, securing gasoline through
the use of form R-544 or special
rations (other than for furlough
travel.
Another provision of today's
amendment allows a central ac
counting office of a tire dealer
to arrange through its own O.PA
district office for the redistribu
tion of stocks of tires, tubes, and
camelback from one of its local
outlets to another in need of them.
The recapping of tires for com
mercial vehicles with truck-type
camelback will be removed from
rationing on December, 1, the dis
trict OPA announced today. This
First Gra-Y Charter
Goes to West Salem
WEST SALEM The Gra-Y
Boy's club received its charter at
a Gra-Y meeting of members, par
ents and friends. The occasion was
one of much interest as this was
the first charter issued to a Gra-Y
club in the northwest section of
the US. The charter was present
ed by Vernon Merrick, asociate
director of boy's work of the
YMCA of Salem with a short talk
ef interest and encouragement to
the boys in which he gave a brief
narrative of the founding of the
YMCA, parent of the Gra-Y. A
brief response was made by Act
ing President Richard Fry.
Other speakers were Mayor Guy
Newgent, who spoke for the Lions
club, sponsors of the organization
assuring them of the support of the
Lions; Mr. Olson, father of one
of th club members, spoke on the
responsibility of the parents, and
Mrs. Carleton Brown and Bobbie
Pattison presented a piano and
clarinet selection. ,
Plans were discussed for future
meetings and recreational events.
The training In good, citizenship
and discipline as demonstrated by
the meeting impressed its value
oa the audience.

report for football, not having
been high school stars, came
at for the teams, new that
there was; a chance of seeing
some action, and some of these
lads became quite proficient,
pro viae in several instances
they : would have been rood '
enough to play In normal times.
Competition Was limited to two
games between each of the three
teams and to ; outside colleges
which played only civilian stu
dents, j r"-5v '
The attendance at the games
was something short of sensation
al, but it was considered satis
factory, everything considered.
About 7000 attended each of the
Lafayette - Rutgers games, 7500
at the first Lafayette - Lehigh
game, and 3500 at the second. Rut
gers won three of its five games,
Lafayette four or five, and Le
high lost five and tied one. ,
That attendance is a far' cry
from the crowds of the palmy
days of the conference; days
such as those of 1925 when Rut
gers and Lafayette transplanted
their game to neutral Princeton
stadium to accommodate the
fans, and drew about 40,000.
But the schools aren't kicking.
They were making an experiment,
and if the concoction didn't come
out as a synthetic rubber that was
better than the real thing, at least
it had a bounce, and the sponsors
are well enough satisfied to go
ahead with their winter sports
programs and plans for football
next year,! war or no war.
All of which should be of en
couragement to schools' in similar
circumstances, most of which
dropped the sport this year. The
middle three has shown that the
game can ! be continued, if you
don't demand that everything be
gold-plated. In other wordes, it's
sport for sport's sake, and the
middle three can take a bow on
that account.
reclassifying tires from grade IJ
action was taken at the request
of the office of the rubber direc
tor to encourage a more effective
use of recapping service.
Removal of rationing restric
tions on truck recapping service
will not only aid in preserving
tires now on commercial motor
vehicles, but will lighten the work
load of local boards. The use of
truck-type camelback will still be
restricted to tires used on com
mercial vehicles.
The action also eliminates all
branding requirements for pas
senger tires .and permits the re
capping of those branded tires
that warrant this service, not pos
sible before because of serious
camelback shortages. Recapping
of unserviceable tires will con
tinue to be prohibited.
Today's revision also permits
the sale to a consumer of a tire
which, although not suitable for
recapping, is usable in its present
condition or can be repaired for
use.

World Security Depends
Upon Anglo-American
Leadership, Knox Declares
CHICAGO, Dec. M-flPJ-Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said
tonight he believed "the security of the world depends in very
large measure upon Anglo-American leadership."
In an address prepared for the English speaking union on the
eve of the second anniversary of Japan's attack" on Pearl Har
bor, Knox said:
"The recurring blood-lust which afflicts nations will only be
cured when it is caught in its in
cipient stages. It can only be thus
detected, and quelled, if there is
maintained a constant vigilance,
alert to detect, and swift to halt,
the first signs of madness.
"Obviously that is more than
one nation can, or should do. The
cure would be as bad as the dis
ease. The need bespeaks mutual
effort by the nations historically
dedicated to the principles pro
claimed in the Magna Charta or
the Declaration of Independence.
"But, no matter how numer
ous that company, no matter
how vital the part other na
tions most necessarily play in
the detection, and quarantine,
of arrression. I unhesitatingly
affirm, aa my studied opinion,
that the security of the world
depends in very large measure
upon Anglo-American leader
ship ...
"It is the very fact that the
British and the American com
monwealths have had their vigor
ous disputes, and for more than a
century have settled them with
out recourse to arms, that gives
substance to the hope that Anglo
American, leadership provides for
the rest of the world.
"Of supreme importance is the
fact that at the Moscow confer
ence the whole spirit of interna
tional cooperation, now and after
the war, was revitalized and given
practical expression. The confer
ence thus launched a forward
movement which, I am firmly
convinced, will steadily extend in
scope and effectiveness.

Second Anniversary of Pearl Harbor
Finds Japs Fighting -Delaying Action
Yanks Just Starting on Long Road to Tokyo
By HAROLD STREETER
Associated Press SUM Writer
The second anniversary tomor- j
row of the Japanese sneak attack
on. Pearl Harbor comes as military
forces of the United States are
deployed along . a broken battle
line of 5000 miles from the Aleu
tians to New Guinea. At the clos
est point, they stand, 2000 statute
miles from Tokyo.
That is in the Aleutians a dor
mant sector.
Dipping southward, Midway is
land, the most advanced position
west of Hawaii, is 2,54$ miles from
the heart of Nippon.
Skirting around the enemy-occupied
Marshalls to the Gilberts,
where marines paid a high price
last month to achieve victory, those
newly-won islands are roughly
3300 miles from Tokyo.
A little closer but still more
than 3000 miles distant is the most
advanced American position on
Bougainville in the northern Sol
omons, So too is the jungle front
line of Gen. Douglas MacArthur
in this case held by Australians
on the Huon peninsula of north
eastern New Guinea.
These are great reaches, most
ef them watery, many of them
dotted with strong, intervening
enemy fortifications. They are
distances which are easy ta lose
sight of daring the scanning ef
such war reports as these of the
peat week:
From the central Pacific The
airfield on hard-won Tarawa in
the Gilberts is put in operation
by those engineering marvels, the
navy "Seabees" (construction bat-
talion), and allied bombers keep
hitting enemy air bases in the invasion-menaced
Marshalls.
From the south Pacific Planes
of Adm. William F. Halsey, not
once spotting a Japanese inter
ceptor during hundreds of sorties
in the northern Solomons, pound
Bougainville's airfield full of holes
faster than enemy engineers can
fill up the old ones; the American
beachhead on the island, under
going little change, now is being
used chiefly as a fighter plane
base.
Those are the general outlines
of another week of war, a picture
filled out by such details as the
aerial destruction of a loaded 10,-000-ton
Japanese transport off Ka
vieng, New Ireland, and an 111
ton aerial bombardment of the
enemy's main New Guinea air
base at Wewak.
But both general outline and
minute detail are infinitesimal

: se many years that the eppa
sition will tire of the straggle
and leave them with most ef
their ill-gotten gains.
Every recent development along
the Pacific's "west wall" supports
this. Nowhere, from the Gilberts,
through the Solomons to New Gui
nea is Japan offering the sem
blance of an offensive. Every
where the theme Is the same:
"Fight to the death or fall back
slowly. ;
Those Japanese in the Huon
peninsula jungles of New Guinea
have been within 15 miles of the
air and coastal base of Finschhaf
en ever since Australians cap
tured It October 2. Yet they have
not made one move against it.
Rather they have chosen to stick
it out in a sector so hard to get at
that part of their supplies have
been parachuted from planes.
In the Solomons, on Bougain
ville, since the first week of No
vember, the Japanese have made
no real effort to eliminate the
American beachhead. Ra haul's
450,000 Tax
Blanks Sent
The task of sending out ap
proximately 450,000 income tax
return blanks for filing in connec
tion with 1944 state income tax
payments, was begun Monday
in the state tax commissioner of
fice. Tax commissioners said the
number of individual income tax
returns for 1944 probably would
be almost double those for the
year 1943. Individual income tax
returns must be filed by April
15, while corporation income tax
returns must be filed by April
1.
The increase in the number of
returns estimated in 1944 was at
tributed to improved business con
ditions.
This year's income tax pay
ments were estimated at $20,500,
000, but probably will exceed
that amount Officials said next
year's returns should show a
substantial increase over those
for 1943.
