LOUIS PREDICTS
New York. Sept. 12. (UP)
Joe Louis said today that "I'm

he would open camp at Green
wood Lake, N. Y., tomorrow for
the lS-round bout with the hand
some Pittsburgh boxer.
"I m gonna try to knock out
Conn as soon as possible," he
said, "and If he don't get out of
the way it should be very
soon."
Louis, who has been stationed
at Fort Riley, Kans., said he
weighed "about 220" and that
he "shot a 78" playing golf at
Chicago yesterday. He added
that he would become a father
in January and hoped he would
not be detailed to foreign duty
before that time.
Conn arrived also, after a
short visit with his family at

made their first Joint appear
ance at a meeting between Pro

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-

Eastern Pro Champs Mauled
Air and Power Attack
Too Strong.
New York, Sept. 12. 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

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

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. And don't forget the tavingi you make at UTZ's

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.
