The freshmen rule unprece dented In the conference i moa ern history was adopted dur Ing a hectic session yesterday. The circuit officials will act for mally today on new rules tenta tively adouted. Faculty representatives of the conference, which extends from Los Angeles to Seattle, tabled clan to scrap the league after a 'round-the-clock session and de cided to play the 19,43 schedule with eight league games for eacn team. Split Plan Deferred Discussion of a reported pro posal to split the conference was left for possible discussion at the June, 1943, meeting of graduate managers and faculty members. The four southern conference members UCLA, USC. Stanford and California purportedly fa vored splitting the conference In to northern and southern divi sions for the duration because of transportation problems. The conference agreed to per mit freshmen on varsity teams but rejected other proposals to broaden player eligibility.

He is Tippy Lar kin, the man nobody knows. Who Is this guy LarkinT How com he's in there battling for the ring's second-richest title? Who selected him as the oppon ent for negro Beau Jack, the ex- bootblack of Augusta, Ga., who has been widely publicized In newspapers and magazines? Wounded by Gun Larkin Is the guy who was known as the "Gar'y.ld Gunner" until he shot himself accidental ly last July. When that rifle bullet went through his right shoulder, even his fans around Garfield, N. J., figured he was washed up for good. But he wasn't. Maybe the Impetus from that accidental wound was what he needed, because when he re turned to the ring in October, he was hitting harder and more accurately than before. But his friends quit calling him "Gun ner" because they didn't want to get socked. ' Larkin returned to the ring In October and clicked off four mora victories, stretching his winning streak to 23 straight, topping the string with a 10 round decision over Freddie Archer, a tough, able welter weight. Larkin la a lightweight, remember, and Archer had beat en Jack twice In 1941. Beau 13-10 Favorite Larkin hasn't fought in the Garden since last January, when he won an eight-round decision over Chester Rico of New York. Hence Manhattan fans have mora or less forgotten his prowess. And Beau Jack is fav ored In the betting at 13-10. But Larkin and Manager Angelo Puccl promts an upset. Puccl emphasizes that 25-year- old Larkin, who, during seven years of professional fighting has registered 41 knockouts in 64 bouts, li an experienced all round fighter who Is superior in Doxing akin, punch and stamina to 21-year-old Beau Jack.

Thousands of retailers of ice cream and frozen foods are using equipment made by our Refrigeration Division a manufacturing activity which was developed from our years of experience In making ice in glacier-like quantities needed for the brewing of Budweiser. This equipment is helping to keep America's foods fresher and more nutritious. Today, however, orders for ice cream and food cabinets will have to wait, for this Division Is working all-out on glider wing and fuselage assemblies for our Army Air Forces. Year after year, we have striven with research and resources to better the methods and facilities for brewing Budweiser. To do this, a laboratory specializing in ferment ology and nutrition was necessary. Discoveries made in the laboratory and in the plant have led to the development of products contributing to human necessity and progress. Some of these products would appear to have only remote relationship to brewing, yet, they are the result of scientific; research into many allied fields.

IE ; Ill' Fuzzy-Haired Blacks Help 6Q to 70 Per Cent of Downed Airmen Reach Guadal canal. By Charles P. Arnot United Press Corresoondent. With tne U. S. Marines On Guadalcanal, Nov. 24 (Delayed) (U.R) Thanks to fuzzy-haired na tives, between 60 and 70 per cent of the American pilots who have gone down in damaged planes have been able to get back to Guadalcanal, an air operations officer told me today. Official records show that the natives have aided more than 30 American fighter pilots who, unable to reach Henderson field for various reasons, chose to crash-land near outlying islarads Some Away Long Some pilots have been listed as "missing" from five days to six weeks. Barring injuries in landing they generally return in excellent physical condition and some actually gain weight during their absence. During the height of a dog fight between Guadalcanal and Savo island, 2nd Lieut Howard W. Bollman, 21. of Dundee. 111., shot down one Zero before a stray Japanese bullet cut his oil line. FROM GLACIERS TO GLIDERS tjh dl we Is "I knew I would have to make a forced landing, so I glided toward Savo which was only about five miles away," he said. "I no more than hit the water before three natives cam out after m in a canoe." Bollmann lived In regal style for three days. The natives put him up in their chief's quarters and fed him boiled birds' eggs and potatoes. "On Sunday we all went to church." he recalled. "Th sing ing was a bit off -tun but the natives seemed to enjoy It The women were all decked out in colored shirts and the men wore their best breech-cloths. I must have shaken bands with a hun dred of them after the service. Boy, how these people lov to shake hands and salute." Book Presented On Sunday afternoon, came the high point of his Savo stay. The natives gave him a book of American western stories. "I was reading about Two Gun O'Malley' when I heard a swishing noise above my head," Bollman told me. "I looked up to see two natives sitting near me brushing the flies away with palm leaves." Native trnes on the islands have organized special patrols to watch for American fliers. One In each group usually speaks "pidgin" English. One pilot told me that he approached a small island in his rubber boat to find two natives awaiting him on th beach. 'They gave me a scare for a minute," he said. "They stood on the beach swinging long, sharp knives and shouting, 'Me friendly, me Christian.' I took their word for it. They proved to be Bill and Ben both swell fellows." Cae Msll Tribune Want Ada. SYRLTS for food, table and confectionery use and special ayrup for medicinal purposes.
