Giants and Redskins Gird
For Final Crash of Season
By Fred Bailer
United Press Staff Correspondent '
Washington, Dec. 13. (UP)
Washington Redskins, deadlocked in tneir quest lor me eastern
divisional title of the National Professional Football league, today
laid Dractlce dans for the third and last meeting of the two clubs
this season scheduled tor next
New York.
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. Ward
Cuff kicked all four of the
Giants' placement attempts as
well as adding three points on a
25-yard field goal and six points
or. a 20-yard touchdown gallop.

8an Francisco. Dec. IS. ttl.R)
The American escort aircraft
carrier Llscome Bay, sunk Nov.
,24 off Makln Island, went down
in flames with a treat hissing
sound and carnalities ware
heavy, some 200 survivors arriv
ing here related today.
The Llscome Bay, orevlously
announced as the only Ameri
can warshln lost in the conouest
of the Gilbert Islands; had no
warning until a lookout shouted:
"Christ, here come tor
pedo!" survivors said.
Flame L sp High -The

went out and flame leaped
hiirh above the fllpht deck. Rear
Admiral Henry M. Mulllnix.
Task Force Commander, and
Capt. Irvln D. Wiltsie, aklpper
both were lost.
Some of the "baby flat ton's"
planes were hurled Into the sea,

that will long be remembered in

doctor discovered his charge was
dead. Lt. Rowe administered to
other wounded despite a leg In

Beach, Cal., said Lt. Rowe gave
another .wounded nian morphine
and then out him over the side.
Lt. Cmdr. M. U. 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.

How Far Away Is the Moon?
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.
Bodies of the victim were
disinterred, the commission said,
and it was established they had
been killed by carbon monoxide
poisoning, hanging and shooting.

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.
