FIRE BOYS ISSUE
TOYS 10 REPAIR
Another call was issued by
firemen today for old toys no
longer needed. The old play
things will be converted into
Christmas presents for poor
children.
As the restored toys must be
distributed a few days before
Christmas and as time must be
allowed for the drying of paint,
all work must be completed be
for December 20, Chief Roy El
liott said. This leaves only about
a week and a half to work on
the old toys,
y Toys of all kinds are needed
but especially wagons of the
larger sizes, firemen said. When
the work on the discarded toys
Is completed, the restored play
things, good as new, will be
turned over to the Lady Lions
for distribution. Meantime any
one interested may go to fire
headquarters and see the fire
men at work on the battered
old toys.
Cards will be distributed by
the Lady Lions to families who
are to receive the restored toys
and presentations will be by
card only, it was explained by
Mrs. Ray Marti, president of the
Lions club auxiliary. Time and
place of distribution will be an
nounced later. It is calculated
that children of 200 needy fami
lies will receive gifts through
the work of the firemen and
the Lady Lions.

ERASE FAMOUS
FIELD BATTERY
Portland, Dec. 8. (JP) Rep
resentatives from Washington,
California, British Columbia and
the 36 Oregon counties honored
Henry F. Cabell, state highway
commission chairman and pres
ident of the American Associa
tion of State Highway Officials,
last night.
The 300 guests included for
mer Governor Charles H. Mar
tin, who appointed Cabell in
1935, and Governor Sprague.
Sprague described the chairman
as a "splendid inheritance one
of the best legacies I received"
from his predecessor's administration.
Washington (U.R) The first
American field artillery battery
to go into action in France dur
ing the last World war has seen
action for the last time. It took
part in recent army maneuvers
at Fort Meade, Md., before giv
ing way to a smaller unit.
Headquarters battery at the
1st field artillery stationed at
Fort Hoyle, Md., believed to
have fired the first American
artillery shot during the war,
will be disestablished in line
with a war department plan
streamlining all Army divisions.
The new compact and highly
mobile forces with a peace-time
strength of approximately 8,
500 and a wartime footing of
12,000 have no headquarters
battery.
Although there is much con
troversy in the field artillery as
to which brigade actually went
into action first, an interesting
sidelight, and one that clinches
the claim of the battery, was
uncovered in the office of Brig.
Gen. Maxwell Murray, com
manding officer of the Wash
ington provisional brigade.
An aide related how Murray,
then a captain with the 1st Bri
gade, ordered a 155-millimeter
gun rolled to the front on a
truck and fired the first shot.
It was believed this gave the
brigade the right to claim dis
tinction as the first in action.
When the brigade is knocked
down, the officers will be re
assigned and most of the en
listed men will be transferred
to Madison Barracks, N. Y., and
Fort Knox, Ky. The unit is one
of the most highly technicalized
divisions of the artillery.
ALL-AMERICAN TEAM
New York, Dec. 8. Spl
Selections for Collier's 50th an
nual All-America football team,
a perpetuation of the All-America
started by Walter Camp in
Collier's in 1889, were an
nounced today. The players are:
Ends: Frank Ivy, University
of Oklahoma; Esco Sarkkinen,
Ohio State.
Tackles: Nicholas D r a h o s,
Cornell; Joe Boyd, Texas A.
& M.
Guards: Harry Smith. U. S.
C; Edward Molinski, Tennes
see. Center: John Schiechl, Santa
Clara.
Quarterback: Paul Christman,
Missouri.
Halfbacks: Nile K 1 n n i c k,
Iowa; Tom Harmon, Michigan.
Fullback: Banks McFadden,
Clemson.
In awarding the Walter Camp
gold football to these players,
Collier's points out that in the
half century since its first All
America team was published,
football has developed from a
point where there were maybe
50 or 60 good players in the
country, to the present position
with its 10,000 or more well
trained, well-coached players
electrifying more than 40,000,
000 fans.
This of course has tremend
ously increased the task of pick
ing an All-America. In the early
days Walter Camp picked the
team personally, having seen all
the leading players. But today
an All-America advisory board,
made up of expert observers in
every part of the country, makes
the selections.
contest.

Madrid, Dec. 8. OP) The

OVER 100,000 TO SEE
TROY PLAY UCLA FOR
TITLE AND ROSE BOWL
Los Angeles, Dec. 8. (JP)
Football teams of southern Cal
ifornia and the University of
California at Los Angeles went
Into hiding today, far away from
the clamor of pre-game excite
ment over their battle for the
right to represent the west in
the Rose Bowl.
More than 100,000 will Jam
Memorial coliseum tomorrow to
watch these two elevens, sur
vivors of the 1939 Pacific Coast
conference warfare, collide (at
2 p. m., PST) for the sixth time
since they first met in 1929.
U.C.L.A.'s official family,
headed by Coach Edwin C.
(Babe) Horrcll, was confident its
"rags to riches" outfit would
give the vaunted Trojans a ter
rific argument, and ardent sup
porters went even further.
They felt the team will do
better than the best it's ever
done against Southern Califor
nia, which was tie the Trojans
in 1936.
The S. C. powerhouse, how
ever, remained a general two-to-one
favorite to whip their I
neighbors and march on into
the Rose bowl for the second
straight year.
