Billy llulen Says:
Coast Conference
Elevens Good To
Outside Enemies
1 Probably never has Pacific
Coast conference football suf
' fered so much in comparison
with the brand played else-
' where In the nation as It did in
, this war year of 1842.
The only coast circuit clubs
which didn't get their ears
' knocked off by intersections!
' opponent at least one were
: California, Oregon and Wash-
, Ington. Perhaps the fact that
they didn t play any "outside
' competition has something to do
with it.
Wait, though, there Is another
team that didn't bow to a for
eign foe. Oregon State tied
Michigan State, 7 to 7, In its lone
lntersectional contest, and that's
a better mark than any of the
other western seaboard elevens
those that did engage in such
struggling can point to.
Of 10 lntersectional battles
Joined by Pacific Coast loop out
fits, our boys hung up the gaudy
record of one victory, eight de
feats and one deadlock.
And, thty weren't a bit par
ticular to whom they lost.
Tsams from lh middle west,
in deep south, the southwest
and ev.n that "minor leaguer
lsh" Rocky Mountain confer
nee administered wallopings
to the lads this slda of the
Sierra Nevada and the Cas
cades. Only tha eastern sector
failed to get In on the pickings.
El Trojan of U. S. C. topped
all the rest in the matter of
being kind to lntersectional op
ponents. The Los Angeles eg
gretation obligingly dropped
three affairs in as many tries,
opening with a 13 to 27 loss to
Tulane, followed by a 12 to 28
give to Ohio State and ending
with a zero to 13 present to
Notre Dame.
'
Stanford went tha Trojans
one better as regards margin of
defeat at the hands of Notre
Dame, the Indiana doing It by
0 to 27.
UCLA, In one outing of lntnr
fectlonal flavor, failed by one
point to tie Texas Christian.
The score was 6 to 7.
Washington State got away
to a good start by downing
Michigan State, 25 to 13, but
ended on a sour note when they
traveled to College Station and
played Texas A. and M. to a 0
to 21 verdict. The Cougars, at
least, can boast they alone of
the coast conference elevens
were able to whip on lntersec
tional opponent.
Idaho and Montana, tha loop's
"breather" members, dipped In
to the Rocky Mountain confer
ence for a couple of tilts, and
the results followed the pattern
designed by their big brother
teams. Idaho lost 10 uian, to
13 and Montana fell to Brlgham
Young, 6 to 12.
It has indeed been a sad year
for coast conference football,
and a party to be held In Pasa
dena January 1, 1043, won't
brighten things.
We feci sory for the coast
team which wins Its way to the
Rose Bowl. Be it U.S.C. or
U.C.L.A. or W.S.C., the beating
It will receive isn't going to be
pleasant for the citizenry re
siding on the shores or. the blue
Pacific.
It would be different, mar
be. If Frank Sinkwlch broke a
leg between now and then.
But this probably won't hap
pen. This time It will be
Georgia doing the marchlnq
through, and all we poor coast
people can do is sit back and
take It.
Did you boys and girls know
that Mcdford high won the state
football championship? Yep, It

Refusal to Carry Message to
American Marine Chief
Brings Death to Four.
IT. S. Headquarters, Guadal
canal, Nov. 27. (Delayed) (U.Pj
Two Roman Catholic priests
and two nuns were murdered by
Japanese on Guadalcanal be
cause the priests refused to
carry a propaganda message to
the American marine com
mander, MaJ. Gen. A. A. Van
dergrift. Father Albert De
Theye revealed tday.
Vi Theye. a missionary at
Avu Avu in southern Guadal
canal, obtained his Information
from Sister Edmee, a French
nun, the only survivor of the
party tof two priests and three
nuns who fell Into Japanese
nanas last September.
Bayoneted To Death
Victims of the Japanese were
identified by Sister Edmee as
Fathers Arthur Duhamel. Law
rence, Mass., and Henri Oudeng
brink of Holland, and Sister
Sylvia and Sister Odilia. both
of Alsace, France.
De Theye said they were bay
oneted to death when the priests
refused to enter the American
lines and give Gen. Vandergrift
this message:
It is useless to resist the Jap
anese. They are too strong for
you. You cannot win and
should leave Guadalcanal."
Tha Japanese told the mis
sionaries that only one priest
would be allowed to take the
message to Vandergrift that
the others would be held host
ages and killed if the messenger
failed to return, De Theye said.
ine priests refused to do the
Japanese bidding, he said, and
told the Japanese that they were
not concerned with political
matters. The missionaries were
allowed to return to their sta
tion, but the Japanese returned
10 days later and forced the
priests and two nuns to return
with them to their headquarters.
japs Try Again
De Theye said the Japanese
again apparently ordered the
priests to carry the message, but
the priests again refused. The
tour missionaries then were
killed.
Sister Edmee. who had hcon
ill, was permitted to remain at
the mission. Acomoanled hv
natives at the mission, she sub
sequently es caned Into the
Jungle. A party of 31 mission
aries, nursing sisters and plan
tation managers with their chil
dren arrived at Guadalcanal to
day by boat from Malalta, 40
miles northeast.

Elephants Recall Birthday
To Movieman Wallace Beery
By Ernest Foster
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Hollywood (U.R) Wallace Beery is celebrating his 40th year
In show business this month, but
recall the date to him.
Beery was portraying a tough-
as-they-come top sergeant In
scenes for "Salute to the Mar
ines" when he spotted the ele
phants in the Metro-Goldwyn-zoo
on the studio's back lot.
His first Job In show business
was as an elephant trainer for
the Sells-Floto and Ringling cir
cuses. "Salute to the Marines"
marks his 53rd picture in the
29 years he has been before the
cameras.
As a top star, Beery's longe-1
vity in movies is surpassed only
by Lionel Barrymore, who beats
him -by four years.
Beery is busier today than he
ever has been. He collects
antique and modern weapons.
maintains a ranch In Jackson ,
Hole, Wyo., studies seafaring j
and geography, is an amateur 1
photographer and has a shop at
home where he works with 1
lathes and drills. He's also an
aviation enthusiast who owns
his own plane and has more than !
9,000 flying hours. I
In the past 40 years Beery has
earned three fortunes, but he's
been broke more times than he
can remember.
He has played almost every
Imaginable role on the screen. 1
He's been everything from a
fireman to a submarine com- j
mander. He started out in com
edy portraying a Swedish scrub ;
woman. He's been a hero and a !
heel.
He's as punctual as the clock I
