PAGE TWO WELCH LASHES AT PREVAILING 3-1 Trojan Coach In PorffiOt , Spot, Claims Washington : Boss Both Bemoan Rain By Lisle Shoemaker , (United Press Correspondent) r Pasadena, Cal., Dec. SO. (U.R) Ralph (Pest) Welch, coach of the University of Washington Huskies, today '..-lasted at the prevailing 3-1 odds favoring his Rose Bowl team over Univer sity of Southern California in their New Year's day game. "That Jeff Cravath of the Trojans has himself in the per fect spot and me in a terrible fix. As the situation stands now, If the Trojans lose by a close score it'll be a moral vic tory. "If they beat us, Cravath will be a hero and a miracle man," Welch protested. . The husky Welch, himself a former - all-American football player, drove his team through stoamlng workout yesterday on the soggy Brookside park turf and spent most of the ses sion pounding on the Jugger naut end run plays which the Huskies use so effectively. Those wing smashes are per haps the biggest fear in Crav th's worried life. At the start of the season when he had all American Ralph Heywood and rugged Joe MacPhall at the end spots he wouldn't have feared a parade of steamrollers. - Qreen Ends ' But the two stellar ends were lost to the marines, leaving their positions to the less ex perienced Gordon Gray and Jim Callanan, . Welch, the amateur sleight of hand artist who carries his magic to the football field, without a doubt Is clamping his running stuck around husky Sam Robinson who has left the local experts gasping after watching him in practice ses sions. Robinson and the rest of his teammates are in perfect shape nd have been galloping through spirited workouts and crying for mora work. . i In Los Angelas, Cravath drilled his charges on smoother ball-handling from his "T" for mation and announced he would tick to his original lineup. In between plays he moaned loudly bout 'the wet weather and in dicated his tricky attack would Suffer seriously on slow field. : In that respect Welch matched bim In the groaning department. This was somewhat or sur prise inasmuch as it had been figured the Huskies art familiar with wet weather and stick mostly to a ground attack any way. The Huskies were to try out their cleats again on the Rose Bowl grass in a late workout today. . Football Briefs. New Orleans, Dec. SO.

(U.R) Polconed-pen letters from envious fight managers to the navy department caused the last-minute can cellation of last night's middleweight bout between Coast Guards man Georgle Kochan and Jake Lamotta, according to Tex Sulli van, Kochan's pilot The scheduled 10-round scrap was called off at 6:30 p. m., but thousands of fans unaware of l'he cancellation went to Madl- mi oifuare utiruen, onijr uj una the punch emporium closed. Promoter Mike Jacobs an nounced "no fight" after receiv ing a telegram from the chief of naval personnel at Washington. It read: "Regret participation of George Kochan, machinist's mate second class, U. S. N., in a box ing match at Madison Square Garden can not be authorized." Kochan, who has had 39 pro fessional fights during his two years in the coast guard, was ordered by the navy on Tues day to withdraw from the match, according to Sullivan, and was transferred from a fireboat in the New York area to a downtown barracks on the Hudson river. Sullivan, confident that the dif ficulty could be "straightened out," hurried to Washington, but accomplished nothing there.- He Informed Jacobs of the situation Tuesday night. All day yester day, Jacobs tried "straightening out" maneuvers,, but likuwise failed. It seems that the navy depart ment remembered Its ruling of June 18, 1942, which prohibits navy teams or athletes from com peting in commercially sponsor ed games or matches. This ruling nas oeen enforced against Cham pions Gus Lesnevich, Tony Zale and Fred Cochrane, but not against lesser-name fighters. "And It wouldn't have been enforced against Kochan." de clared Sullivan, "if certain en vious boxing managers of the rat type hadn't written nasty letters to the navy department letters complaining about his being al lowed to fight at the Garden, runny they never wrote in until he got his first chance at a Gar den main event. I tried to get their names from the navy de partment, but was informed that inose tenors are in a confidential file," ILL WITH COLDS Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 30 (U.R) Two heavyweights from the Washington - line, Don Deeks, 283-pound tackle and Gordon Berlin, 205-pound center, were Incapacitated with colds today but Coach Ralph Welch said he expected them to bo ready for the Rosa Bowl gam with south ern California hare Saturday. Welch put the squad through secret drill yesterday and said that the team would be in bad shape If any key players were Injured because of a lack of re serve strength. On their Los Angeles campus, the southern California squad finished Its heavy drilling with a vigorous dummy scrimmage. gonzagTfivewhales washington by 76-39 Spokane, Wash., Dec. 80 (U.R) A red-hot Gonzagg univer sity quintet last night burled the University of Washington Huskies under a 78-39 score to win the second tilt of a two game basketball series.

CRATER LAKE MOTORS SIXTH AND IVY STREETS PHONE 1297 OREGON, THURSDAY, EFFECTIVE JAM. 2 Snap Beans, . Most Frozen Vegetables Made Point Free, Peas, Tomatoes Cut Washington. Dee. 30.-4l.m The Office of Price administra tion today made canned snaD beans and most . frozen vege tables except frozen corn, peas and lima beans point free for January. It sharply re duced point values of canned peas and tomatoes. Jams, preserves and non-cit rus marmalades, however, were raised from six to eight points pound. Frozen fruits with the exception of blueberries and huckleberries and frozen fruit Juices were made point free. Effective Sunday The new point values become effective Sunday. Explaining the vegetable re ductions, rationing officials said: "Supplies of canned green, or wax, beans are at a fairly high level and the production out look indicates supplies will con tinue to be satisfactory. "Reduction In the point value of canned peas and tomatoes Is possible since consumer demand has declined more than 10 per cent in the past two months. Stocks of both of these com modities compare favorably with those of last year." . - The new zere value for canned green beans compares with a five-point value for a No. 2 can in December. Canned peas were reduced from IS to 19 points for the popular No. 2 can with other sizes reduced, proportionately. The No. 2V4 can of tomatoes which has had a ration value of 21 points was reduced to 19 points. These three items make up about 29 per cent of all rationed processed foods. Storage Glutted Cuts in frozen vegetables re flect not only adequate supplies at present but also the necessity of clearing cold storage space so that the heavy slaughter of meat can be absorbed, It was ex plained. Frozen vegetables which will have a zero point value ' had values In December ranging from 12 points a pound for spinach down to two points a oound for beets and - carrots. Frozen corn, peas and lima beans retain their December values. i In ordering increases for jams; preserves and marma lades, officials explained that sales have been exceeding avail able supplies under the point values given two months ago when the sweet spreads were put under rationing.

DECEMBER 30. 1943 Jackson Compiled by Feed Situation Most Critical The feed situation Is one of the more critical that American farmers at war have to face. News of the latest developments comes to us almost daily. First- livestock numbers are up to the point where we have 12 per cent less concentrates per animal unit than we had in 1941. Second in spite of all the unfavorable fac tors, the hay supply Is enough to meet national needs. There are few areas where hay and roughage are insufficient, but they are limited and not terribly dangerous. And that brings us to grains. The trouble over grains has been one of price, transporta tion and marketing. The price of feed wheat, up to early December, for example, was enough below the pri-e of other gratnr.to cause a good deal of waste and confusion. For in stance, folks might ship out bar ley and oats for the market and ship in feed wheat for their own use. In that way time, labor and transoortatioh were waited. So on December 3 the OPA and the War Food Administration took five actions which fit to aether to put the grain situation back in balance. Here's what wa done: First: OPA raised the celling price of corn to full parity the change being made In terminal prices, as usual. The new Chicago orlee, for example, is 11.16 bubel. Second: OPA froze the price of oats, barley and sorghum grain temoorarily with a permanent ceiling nrlce to be worked out infde 60 days. Third: The WFA removed the sub'tdy on corn shipped from surplus to defiplt areas. That w made possible by the dairy-feed payment which accomplishes the seme oblective at the other end of the line. -- ;-.
