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. -

' But the two stellar ends were
lost to the marines, leaving
their positions to the less ex

Welch, the amateur sleight of
hand artist who carries his
magic to the football field,
without a doubt Is clamping his

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

Claim Poison-Pen Letters
Caused Fight Cancellation
. By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 30. (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,"

Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 30 (U.R)
Two heavyweights from the

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

On their Los Angeles campus,
the southern California squad

The chunky, -besoectacled
uoaos was the loth track man
to win the award In its 14-year
history. Twice it has been
awarded to golfers, once to an
oarsman and the other time to
a tennis player. -
Chief reason for his selection
was the thundering theologian's
willingness to compete against
Gunder Hagg when the flying
Swede came to America last
summer. Dodds pressed him in
every race in a cross-country
tour that netted $139,000 for the
Army Air Forces Aid society.
He never defeated the smorgas-
ooara special, but he provided
most of the competition and
once ran a 4:06.1 mile, the fast
est of his career and the second
speediest ever turned in out
doors by an American.

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.
At the same time, the OPA
ordered that all fruit spreads
under BVi ounces, except citrus
marmalades and those packed

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. -- ;-.
Fourth: WFA raised the nrlce
of feed-wheat twenty, cents a
