Giants and Redskins Gird For Final Crash of Season By Fred Bailer United Press Staff Correspondent ' Washington, Dec. 13.

The site for next week' eon- test almost certain to be a sell out waa determined prior to yesterday's game which the Giants won 31-7, when Elmer Layden, high commissioner of pro football, flipped a coin and Tim Mara, president of - the Giants, won the toss. Giants Favored Needing only a tie three weeks ago to clinch the eastern cham pionship, the crumbling Wash' ington offensive dropped a game to the Phil-Pitt Steagles, lost last week to the Gianta 14-10 In a gune that started rumors of gam bllng In pro football, and then dropped yesterday's contest by such a lopsided score that the Gianta will undoubtedly be fa vored to represent the east against the western champion Chicago Bears In Chicago, Dec. 26. The two teams battled through a scoreless first period yesterday before the Redskins drew first blood on a 81-yard pass from Sammy Baugh to Bob Seymour and another to Joe Aguirr in the end zona. The Oiant offense started roll ing midway through the second period. Frank Cope blocked a Baugh punt and Steve Prltko fell on the ball in the end zone for the first New York tally.

Beebe, squad ron commander, Anatelni, Cal. related: "There was a terrific rumbling throughout the shin. and an explosion that' lifted me off the deck. The next thing I knew I was trying to get out the door in the darkness, but could find no passage. Fire started and I con t know how I got there but I made the flight deck. It was ablaze and there was all burning on the water." Following more explosions. the Llscome Bay made her final dive, bow out of the water until ir.a last.

Bf J- Hugh Prnatt (Astronomer, General Extension, University of Oregon) Fortunate Indeed are earth- dwelling star-gazers for one of the heavenly bodies is so very near us that we may see many of the markings on Its surface with no more optical equipment than a pair of good eyes. Many of the more distant object In our solar system are not seen nearly so distinctly even with the most powerful telescope. Soma of the ancient scientists considered that such markings as "the man In the moon" were merely reflections of earthly land areas from the crystalline surface of the moon. How far Is the moon from us? Some unfamiliar with methods used by surveyors for determin ing distance to remote mount ain will say, "No ona knows; it is just guess work." The mathematical principle of such distance measurements is fairly simple. Suppose a man on the bank of a raging river is anxious to know the distance to a house on the opposite bank. All he has to do is to measure relatively short base line along the river say 200 feet- REDS CHARGE NAZIS IN KHARKOV DEATHS Moscow. Dee. 13. (U.R) The Soviet Atrocities commission to day charged 10 high German military and Gestapo officials with responsibility for the murder ot tens of thousands of civilians at Kharkov.

Ml II then from each end of this line, sight toward the house and de termine the ingles the two line of sight make with the base line. - On a sheet of paper a triangle may then be drawn with a two Inch line representing the orig inal 200-foot base line. From the ends ot this line the lines of sight are drawn with the angles correct. A triangle is thus completed with the house at one corner. ' If on 'paper any point on the base line Is 10 inches from the house, the real house 1 actually 1,000 feet from this point. ' . In surveying work the more accurate trigonometrical calcu lation Is employed but the prin ciple is the same. In determin ing the distance to the moon, the base line on the earth is usually several thousand miles long. The moon is then sighted at the same time by observer at each end of the line. Due to the fact that the moon' orbit around the earth is not quite circular, its dist ance from us varies, during a month, from 221,000 miles to 233,000 miles. Tonight the big moon will be approximately 240,000 miles away. VRV Calendar Tuesday The 3Slst Engineers' Battalion will give a sports dance at (serv ice Club No. 1.
