A., California, and finally as 6 to 1 longshots humbled Del Monte Pre-Fllght's All-Americans.

C. L. A., California, St. Mary's Pre-Flight and San Francisco scoreless. In another top coast game, the undefeated Fourth Air Force Fliers travel to Seattle to meet the Isolated University of Wash ington Huskies, who found them' selves with only three games this season when all other north' ern teams of the conference were forced to quit. .

Landis today sounded a key note for the continuation of the game In the face of war-time in roads by announcing that major league clubs would train again In northern camps. The anouneement by the 77- year-old diamond czar was blunt and emphatic. It said: - "Major league clubs will train in the north next year ai they did in 1943." There wa no flowery mes sage of a determination to "car ry on" in the Landis ruling, but his meaning was plain. Signifi cantly It came when a possible "fold-up" of the majors because of player shortages and other war-time difficulties was In. the spotlight because of an announce ment 24 hours earlier of the re tirement of Joe Gordon, star sec ond baseman of the world cham pion New York Yankees. Landis' ruling halted well In advance of the annual league meetings scheduled for New York in December, the forma tion of any "pressure group" to campaign for a return by major league clubs to training bases in the deep south and the far west. Before the 1B4S season closed a representative of southern cities where major league teams formerly trained had conferred with National and American league elub owners and reached tentative agreement! with some for their return. One of the strong arguments for the return to the southern bases was that the clubs could entertain soldiers ad sailors in training In the section. Some club owners seeking a return to the south stressed the fact the government had not or dered the northern training, but that It had been a voluntary go ture made In baseball's behalf by Landis. The agreement was made by Landis after conferences with Joseph Eastman, director of the Office of Defense Transportation.' FREAK ACCIDENT ' "MAY KEEP DIPPEt G. Medford junior high gridders travel to Grants Pass tonight to play the Cavemen freshmen In a game starting at 8 o'clock, bent on making it two straight over the Climate City eleven. Two weeks ago the - Bulldogs blanked the Grant Pass frosh, 6 to 0, here. Coach Let Grant said that Whillock and Werner would man the-flanks, Mottern and Walls the tackles, Tlngley and Dow the guards, Newton the center post, Llndley and Stelle the halfbacks, Jonei the quar terback position and Greene the fullback berth. ' A freak accident suffered by Steve Dlppel yesterday may keep Medford'f chief offensive threat out of the Grant Pass game at Granta Pass Friday night, seriously weakening a Tornado eleven already hurt by the probable loss of Dale Nle dermeyer. Dlppel, captain and left half back, pulled some muscles in his groin while running across a plowed field in order not to be late for school. He was un able to practice yesterday and whether he will be ready to go against the Cavemen was considered doubtful by Coach jjorne Arnold. Nledermeyer, regular right halfback, injured hit hip in the Klamath Falls game and is also a doubtful starter. Even if both are able to play their efficiency will c-e impaired. ' Last night at the stadium, the Ashland sophomores defeated the Medford sophs, 7 to 6, by virtue of a touchdown and extra point in the fourth pe riod after Medford had taken a 6 to 0 lead in the third quarter. Ashland's touchdown followed a Medford punt that went Straight up In the air and lost seven yards.

But war has magnified its importance, made it far more vital than at any time in the past. For this is a people's war . . . and full information is the people's indispensable weapon for Victory. We have always turned to our newspapers as the most complete source of news. The war has made us more dependent on newspapers than ever before . , . . . for full reports of the day's events ... for detailed news from the battlefronts and the homefronts, from Washington and other world centers, and from our own town. iii for full information on wartime regulations . . on rationing and taxes, dimouts and blackouts, draft . orders and air raid rules ... on how to save, how to make things last longer, -what to do to help win the war and hasten the coming of peace. . . . for editorial interpretations and expert analysis of the important happenings,, to give us a better understanding of what's going on today and what lies ahead. , . . for the vital news that comes through the adver tisements of manufacturing plants and retail stores, news of what industry is doing and plannirig, news of merchandise and services the stores are offering. We depend on newspapers to be fully informed. Small wonder, then, that today, when being well posted is so important to all of us, newspapers are being read more eagerly, more thoroughly, and by more people than ever before. That's one reason why newspaper space is so powerful a medium for war time advertisers. . The Bureau of Advertising American Newspaper Publishers Association of which this newspaper tt a member
