FOR GRID GAMES Washington, Sept. 12 (U.R) Travel-as-usual on trains and buses . to out-of-town football games and similar events is "out of the question" this fall, defense transportation director Joseph B. Eastman said tonight. He appealed to colleges, high schools, and professional foot ball promoters to transfer sched uled games to centers of popu lation so that "as many people as possible" will be enabled to attend games without traveling. Pointing out that week-end congestion on transportation facilities was already a serious problem, Eastman declared that he would ask train and bus companies to restrict distribution of tickets in such a way as to discourage attendance, at out-of-town games. "At the same time I am di recting that my office prevent the overcrowding of regular trains serving areas in which such events are to be . held," Eastman said- HORSESHOE CHAMPION Newport, Ky., Sept. 12 U.R) John Lindmeier, Chicago, three-time winner of the nation al senior and amateur horseshoe pitching championship, piled up a score of 256 today to pace IS other contestants in the qualify ing round of the 1942 tourney.

CUP) Combining the best features of tank and a dive bomber, the eastern all-army football team crushed the hapless New York Giants eastern rofessional champions 16-0, today before 33,000 fans at tne Polo Grounds. Capt. Johnny Pingel, former Michigan State Ail-American, sparked the pigskin panzer unit's aerial attack while two corpor als Norm Standlee of Stanford and George Cafego of Tennessee led a mauling running attack Private Jack Russell of Baylor and Lieut. Vic Spadacclni of Minnesota scored touchdowns while Corp. Nick Basca of Villa nova booted a field goal and an extra point. The army rolled up 18 first downs against seven for the pros. They gained 143 yards rushing while holding the Giants to 57 and went through the air for 81 yards against 74 for the Giants to outgain the profession als, 224 yards to 131. The issue never was in doubt from the time the army received the opening kickoff and march ed 72 yards for a touchdown. With Standlee, late of the pro champion Chicago Bears, smash ing through the line, and Pingel completing six passes, they went to the 12-yard mark. From there the infantry captain tossed the ball to Russell in the end zone and the rout was on. The Giants made their only real threat early in the second period after taking the ball on a fumble. The oros drove to the 17, but then Cafego intercepted a pass and ran it out of danger. Cafego a short time later ran a punt back 62 yards. The Giants took over on a fumb'le but lost the ball back on the five-yard line in the same manner. Corp Ken Fryer of West Virginia plunged over from the one, but army was offside and the score was nullified. Army then was thrown back to the 13 and Basca kicked a perfect field goal from the 22. The soldiers were not to be . denied another score. They marched 59 yards to the one, only to give up the ball. Then Tuffy Leemans attempted tc pass from back of his goal line, and the fleet-footed Spadaccini inter cepted the ball on the 16-yard line and carried it over. Basca added the extra point on place ment for a 16-0 triumph. 1 MAY RACE ALSAB S RELIEF "Golden Goose" Ups Earn ings When Alsab With drawn From Event. Pawtucket, R. I., Sept. 12. iU.R) Whirlaway, golden goose of the turf, boosted his life-time earnings to nearly 5OO,G00 to day with brilliant triumph in the $25,000 Narragansett Special but the late withdrawal of Al sab marred his victory. The four-year-old Whirly, "whacky" colt who became a success by learning to run straight, closed from 11 lengths off the pace in a typical burst to whip T. H. Heard's Boyi by about two lengths. His 27th vic tory in 49 starts jumped his earnings as the greatest money winner of all time to $491,138. A prohibitive 2-5 favorite, the bush-tailed beauty of the Blue Grass hauled down $24,30" for today's demonstration of his su periority over the present band of three-year-olds and stake horses. Track President James E. Dooley offered to stage a $25,- 000 match race between Whirl away and Alsab next Satirday at weight-for-age over a mile and three-sixteenths course and promised to give the army and navy the track's 6'4 rer cent share of this race, plus break age. Sabath promptly accepted for his horse and TrUner Ben Jones said it "is perfectly agreeable to me but of course, it's rp to the boss." The "boss" is War ren Wright of Lexington,. Ky. Whirlaway, running over track described officially as "good," covered the mile and three-sixteenths special course in one minute, 56 2 5 seconds just 1 25 seconds off Discovery's track record.

THE policy of this (tore during this emergency I brief - and clear cut ... Every possible cooperation will be ' extended to government agencies in any program dealing with prices and conservation. Moreover, we feel that the establishment of to-called "price ceilings" does not . necessarily call for advancement of prices to ceiling limits if lower prices are possible. You will find. In many instances, that prices ARE well BELOW THE CEILING LIMIT and UTZ's QUALITY Is not reduced. Moreover, our long -established policy of STABILIZED PRICES through the elimination of price-juggling "tales" has hit a responsive chord with people here. Men and young men of this community are, in almost all catet, busily engaged In vital war work and civilian defense effort. Our greatest service to them is to offer the promptest and best service possible, the kind of work clothes and thoet they want to wear, the quality and stylo merchandise that will mean long, satisfactory service and boost the personal morale.

SEASIHET SALES TO BIG 10 Chicago, Sept. 12 W B Mid west football fans have adopted a policy of "watchful waiting" for the forthcoming football season and as a result the ad vance sale of season tickets at Big Ten schools has slumped, a survey disclosed today. The Big Ten set an all-time attendance mark last season when it drew 1,811,388 fans for 49 home contests. The 1942 season, which opens next Saturday when Wisconsin opposes Camp Grant and gains run momentum oept. ad wnen every conference team is in ac tion, may have equal fan allure, but the advance sale of season tickets does not Indicate it. Football interest appears high, but changes in the daily living pattern caused by the war haa made fans hesitant to "lay it on the line" for a season ticket and thus make plans for their week-end entertainment for the next three months.
