Strength of the opponent is (airly even, a in dicated by their recent encoun ter, in which the Climate City five eked out a 27 to 24 win. Not much Is known about the two teams, although Is Is known that the Cavemen have retained all but one member of the team which in the final tiff last sea son handed the Tigers a 42 to 20 defeat. The Bengals are hampered little by men on the sick list, Bud Nordwick having Just re turned to the squad for practice after an Illness. Guard Hob Deuel has been out lately and Jack Kresse has been unable to practice since suffering a sprained ankle. Despite the fact that the Tig ers were defeated twice by the Roseburg Indians, both times by but one point, all 10 players showed up well in these games. In the first encounter the In dians, through a desperate last quarter rally, were able to over come a Tornado lead and win. In the second game the Tigers pulled' ahead 26 to 23 in the remaining few second and a desperate Indian heave swished through the basket after the gun ended the game, the ball having been in the air as it sounded.

Referring to the delay In the assault on Tunisia and the ob scure political situation In Al' giers, it said, "this deplorable situation has been aggravated, if not actually provoked, by General Eisenhower." "The secrecy which surrounds almost everything that Is hap pening cannot be Justified on the grounds of security, and can not, therefore, be Justified at all," tha News-Chronicle con tinued. "It Is responsible .for an end less flow of rumor where fact, if disclosed, might be made the basis of salutary action.

The role of roads in ancient conflicts as well as in the present day, highly mechanized warfare was outlined by Capt. Knox. "The army engineers build the roads for land troop movements while the navy provides the roadways of the seas," he said. In his introductory remarks. Capt. Knox reminded Rotarians of the days when "all roads led to Rome," and the Roman em pire was the great military pow er of the world. Over the great system of military highways, portions of which are still in use, the Roman legions swept to the threatened points of invasion with powerful spearheads that hurled back the invaders. He also reviewed the Napoleonic campaign in Russia In which in adequate highways and length. enlng communication lines were factors in the defeat and de struction of the invaders. Problems of highways In the first World war were recalled by Capt. Knox, who said that from lessons of that great con flict Hitler had the foresight to construct a great system of road ways throughout the Rhineland preparatory to the invasion of Austria, Poland, Norway, the low countries, France and the Balkans. It was the technique of the Nazis to frighten the civi lian populace through fifth col umn activities so that highways in advance of the German in vading forces would be clogged with fleeing refugees, thus hampering the movement of de fending forces. The policy of "deny, yet pre serve," was followed so that these roadways might be saved for the use of the invaders, the speaker said. The recently opened Alcan highway, the Pan American highway and the Burma road were pointed to by Capt. Knox as outstanding examples of great military roads. These roads, be said, are primarily supply routes and the problem of sup ply I as vital to modern mili tary operations as the convoying oi troops. The military highway prob lem in tne united States was also briefly reviewed by the speaker. This system Includes major roadway networks and the access roads feeding camps and forts as well as war indus tries. In case of invasion all roads within the affected area would be immediately taken over by the armed forces, Capt Knox emphasized. Brigadier General Charles uoite spoke briefly of the Dro- gress of the 91st division's train ing program. The Rotary club program was arranged bv E. n Corn and Al Perry presided. Washington. Jan. IS mm The War Production board to day authorized the use of addi tional metal for canning soups to Increase the 1943 Dark hv an estimated 4,000.000 cases. This brings the exDecterl tntal I number of cases of canned soup i this year to 19,200.000. In 1942, ! the total pack was about 25, 000.000 cases. Under the new 1 order, unlimited numbers of cans may be used for packing seasonal soups such as aspara- j gus, pea, spinach and tomato. For non-seasonal soups, cannert are permitted to use 73 per cent of the number of cans used in 1942. WPB last month had re stricted the canning of non seasonal soup to halt the cans used in 1942.

Whispers from Camp White About Facts and Faces On the Reservation.

The lieutenant was at both St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne engagements of World War I. Private Francis O'Brien from Somervllle, Mass., swears he has personal reasons for being very happy at Camp White. In this army he likes hi new duties plenty. n.n.. mm ia - wijnijny. vamri say mere s Just one thing they don't like about a promotion there's a national shortage of army insignia. About the only way a lienten ant can get his bars is to know a lieutenant who's Just been pro- moiea to captain. The new cap tain must know a recently-promoted major, too. Of course. If you've Just been made a general, the problem Is s little easier. Some army officers coming in from the East are wearing shoul der insignia formed of metalized thread, and Denver stores are unable to supply the metal bars, they say. Such things as lieutenant's and captain's bars, major's and lieutenant colonel's oak leaves and colonel's eagles aren't the only things lacking. Crossed sa bers for the cavalry, crossed muskets for collar fitting for In fantrymen, air corps insignia all are scarce, too. FIRST FAMILY OF GOLF Portland, Ore.
