FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE ILLINOIS GRID ACE CONVERTED By Walt Byen United Press Correspondent Chicago, Oct. 24 (U.R) A stubby, 160-pound halfback, playing his first season of col legiate football, today supplied proof that a track champion can fit into a football uniform and still run away from the field. lie is Claude (Buddy) Young, Illinois' footloose negro left half who sprinted to national collejjiote and liig Ten track ti tles last spring. The 18-year-old colored fireball, a rocket with leg3, now is on his way to a na- tional football title while giving Illinois the most dangerous touchdown threat In the Mid lands. Scores 60 Points Although used as a "spot" performer In the early games Young has scored 00 points as Illinois has defeated Illinois Normal, Indiana, Iowa and Pittsburgh, tied Great Lakes and lost to Purdue. In 43 ball carrying attempts, the little man has picked ti5 S47 yards for a 12.7 average, a shade better than the cur rent national record of 12.2 net In 1(139 by Jackie Robinson, U.C.L.A.'s breakaway negro halfback who also was a con verted track star. Usually track champions fail to fit Into the 11-man football pattern. One of the more recent failures was Fred Wolcott, Rice Institute's dash and hurdle king Who tried to be a halfback. But the timing, finesse and shiftiness needed for gridiron stardom wasn't In Wolcotfs legs. Tricky Back Young, however, has been a sensation since the opening ga.ne, showing the change-of-paca and tricklness that marks a great running back. He has rambled to at least one touch down In each game thU season, including a 03-yard scoring spring against Great Lakes, a 30-yard one against Purdue and a dash of 02 yards against Pitts burgh. About 153 pounds of bolts, nuts and rivets are used In the average truck, according to the War Production Board.

High School Youngster Has Sensational Boxing Record ' By Jack Cuddy i United Press Correspondent Now York, Oct. 24 (U.R) Brown-skinned Billy Arnold is Just a Philadelphia high school kid; but he's the hottest thing in boxing hardest-hitting youngster to come along since the rise of Joe Louis. Moreover, he's a "gold mine on ,he noof" because he's a na tural weiterweignt a sensation al performer in the 147-pound division, which Is the money class of pugilism at this phase of the war because it alone is Jam med with top-flight civilian per formers. Bright Future Remember the name Billy Arnold. He's only 18 now; but before he hangs up his gloves in the distant future he may have blasted his way to a pede stal above any previous welter who ever tossed leather. And that means rising above some great welter warriors of the past like Kid McCoy, Joe Walcott, Jack Britton, Mickey Walker, Jimmy McLarnin, Barney Ross, Henry Armstrong, and even the present Ray "Sugar" Robinson, whom Arnold ultimately will dynamite Into the dust before a large crowd. Arnold has the narrow, toma hawk head and moose nose of a brown-skinned Abe Attell. From unusually broad shoulders, his 145 pounds taper down to slen der hips and Damascus-steel legs. He has the intelligence to make good marks In high school in telligence, which combined with excellent co-ordination, makes him a good boxer. But. above all, he has the "heaviest" punch pound for pound registered in the ring in many a year. When Block-buster Billy hits 'em, they stiffen as If struck by a caper ing piano. Half of them have gone flying out of the ring. 27 Knockouts For example, when Arnold's thunderous right exploded on the chin of Ernie "Cat" Robin son In the second round at St. Nicholas arena last night, vet eran Robinson made a body flight of six feet, through the ropes, and landed on the ring apron. He managed to stumble back into the ring at the count of six, but Referee Billy Cava nagh mercifully stopped the bout, giving Arnold his 27th knockout in 2!) straight victories since he turned professional. Betters Louis' Record Twenty-nine consecutive vic tories, 27 by knockouts, is per haps the most remarkable get away record in the history of boxing. Even Joe Louis' sensa tional start did net equal this. As wo recall, Joe won 27 straight, before he was belted out by Schmcling; but four of Joe's opponents went the sched uled distance Jack Kranz. Adolph Wiater, Fatsy Perroni and N'atle Brown. Only one op ponent ever has gone a scheduled distance with the Philadelphia Block-buster. Ho was Billy Fur rone, Philadelphia veteran, who' turned the trick twice in sue-) cession, thereby breaking in on j DO YOU WANT. TO SELL YOUR CAR?

Pioneer ond Pacemaker In Automotive Progresi HUNTING LICENSElPATRIOTS BATTLE Justice of the Peace W. P. Tucker reported today he is confronted with a hunting li cense problem, concerning new residents. Under the state game laws a person is a non-resident until he has resided in Oregon for six months and must pur chase a non-resident license, costing $15. The regular resi dent license costs $5. Three cases are now pending of this nature in. justice court. In each case the defendant has established residence in this county, but has been cited into court for non-possession of a non-resident license by the state police. The minimum fine is S25. In one case, Justice Tucker ruled the defendant should re turn to the store where he pur chased his hunting license, and be allowed to include the $5 payment on the $15 non-resident license, leaving $10 to be paid. In this instance the defendant with his family came here last July, rented a house and estab lished residence. He also went to the state and city police and sought help in complying with all auto regulations. The court holds this showed his good in tent, and that possession of a non-resident hunting license was an oversight. 9 Washington, Oct, 24 (U.PJ Validation dates for five addi tional blue ration stamps and four red stamps, each worth 10 points, were announced today by the office of price administra tion.

Da Mall Tribune Want Ada. serve Blended whiskey . SS Proof Gr-Jlo Neutral Spirits. The Lansrtnwne Distillery Havre de Grace . Mrt V rhlt Is the story of a Seabee named Luca Cavallo, and his wallet. It's only en inddent, really not very import ant, perhaps, when you're thinking in terms of global war and things like that. But Luca's wallet was mighty Important to him, and it caused quite a stir on the railroad long distance calls, telegrams, and a man stumbling along in the driving rain when he didn't have to. It's a human story, and it's true. One evening last winter a Southern Pacific train full of Seabees was head ed south. ("Seabee" is Navy for C3. Construction Battalions.) On board the train, Luca Cavallo and his pal Pete were eating box lunches. Be tween bites, Luca proudly showed Pete a snapshot he had taken from his wallet a picture of his attractive wife and their baby, Gilda. After Pete had r.ropetly admired the picture, the two Seabee finished their meal. Then Luca gathered up the waste papers and napkins, raised the train window end tossed the ref use out, Seconds later, Luca reached for his wallet. It was ffrne! And with it, the precious snapshot his onlv link with home, his wife and GUde! By mistake he had thrown the wallet out the win dow with the waste paper! Frantically, Luca ran throuf.h the train and found the conductor, Joe Olinder. He told OUnder what had happened. There was nothing in the rule book to cover such situstions, but Olinder immediately swung into ac tion. He rushed up to the headend of the train where he could see the loccmo tiva headlight illuminate the next mile post. He wanted to get a "fur" on where the wallet was lost. As the train rounded i curve, he sew the white mile post stand out clearly in the blinding glare of the headlight -a?." Indelibly It was printed on his mind. At the next stop. Conductor Joe Olinder called the Oakland dispatch er, Lloyd Lednar, and told him the whole storv. Ladner immediately tele phoned the Nile operator Ralph S troupe, who got in touch with assist ant signal supervisor Claude Lyon and asked him it someone couldn't go out along the right of way and look for Cerallo's wallet.

Clean Roomsl t It was a terrible night raining hard and very cold but Claude Lyon put on his raincoat, got in his car, end started out. At mile post 37 he got out of the car and started walking along the right of way, scanning every foot ofls it with his flashlight. He walked more then a mile in the driving rain. He stumbled into four or five water-holes, got scratched in a briar patch, fell down e slippery clay embankment . .. but he found the wallet, and brought it back to his office. When he opened the wallet, he found a hundred dollars In water soaked paper money. More import ant, he found the precious snapshot of Luca Cavallo's wife and their baby, Gilda. As Lvon put the money and picture near the stove to dry, the phone rang. It was Mrs. Florence Spencer, S.P. telephone operator at WatsonvilU Junction, calling for Luca Cavallo to see if his wallet had been found. "Yes. I found it," Lyon answered. "Everything s in it the money the picture. . . , What's that? He wants me to keep the money? Listen, Mrs. Spencer, you tell the sailor that if he wants to give any rewards, be can tend that money home to his little daughter. As soon as the stuff is dry enough, I'm putting it ell in an en velope and mailing it straight to him." This story doesn't have muciv te do with Southern Pacific's part in the war effort. It simply shows that rail road are more than trams and tracks. Railroads are people like conductor J."e Olinder. dispatcher Lloyd Ladner, operator Ralph Strotipe and assistant sicnal supervisor Claude Lyon. Peo ple who, no matter how busy they are, still have time to be thoughtful, end understanding, and human.
