Rlvartlde Ph. 2740 J y QUELL HOPES OF SOUTHERN TEAMS By Gena Friedman United Press Staff Correspondent Los Angeles, Oct. 27 (U.R) The Navy glveth and the Navy taketh away and that Is the problem that confronts the tri umvirate of California schools battling for their end of the Pa cific coast title. The race Is wide open, but after the leveling off process this week end, the three-sided battle Involving Southern Cal ifornia, University of Califor nia at Los Angeles and Califor nia Is going to get even more complicated. Stars Lost When the r.aval trainees com' plete their courses this week end, Southern California and U. C. L. A. lose their top In dividual offensive stars, while the defense minded California Bears lose two of the three key men In their famous line. Navy departures also hit the fourth competing school, the Isolated Washington Huskies, who al ready have provided evidence that they aren't quite In the class with the southern mem bers of the circuit. Off hand It Is hard to Judge which of the schools will be the hardest hit, but the second go- around In tha home and home schedules should settle matters. The first meetings only muddled matters. Bears Ahead California, a whisker ahead of the others because It beat U. C. L. A. and tied Southern California, must give up Its two first string guards, Dick Madl gan and Bill Hachtcn, leaving only Center Roger Harding In the middle of tha once great Bear line. However, they'll be on hand to play their finale to morrow against Washington in which the bears are favored. The Trojans of Southern Cali fornia will say goodbye to Gor don Gray, star of last New Year's Rose Bowl victory over the Huskies and their number one touchdown producer this season. At U. C. L. A., Johnny Roesch, the 160-pound acatback, who has scored nine of the team's 12 touchdowns and has gained nearly 600 yards In five games, Is through along with Jerry Shlpkcy, who was begin ning to show brilliance as a fullback. U. C. L. A. Hopes Up U. C. L. A. hopes get a slight shot In the arm from the trans fer of Keith do Courcey, Wash ington scoring ace, who has pro vided the principal offensive punch for the Huskies. California's meeting with the Huskies provides the Golden Bears with a chance to enhance their title hopes. They already have a victory and a tie, while U. C. L. A. has a defeat and a tie and Southern aCUfornla a victory and two ties. Fliers Favored The co-highlight game Is the meeting on Sunday between the March Field fourth air force filers and St. Mary's Pre-fllght. March Field Is a favorite, but will have to stop 18-year-old Julius Davis, who almost single handedly upset U. C. L. A. last week. . The Uclans clash with Alame da Coastguard tonight, Southern California takes on St. Mary's Kids and the El Toro Marines meet the Fleet Bluejackets In the other games on the week end program. Major League Draft Meeting Set For Chicago Next Week Br Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Oct. 27 U.R) The most Important major league draft meeting since Pearl Harbor will be held next week at Chicago, where baseball's big wigs can grab the cream of the minor circuits with a reasonable assurance that Uncle Sam's more Important draft will not claim priority. Whether the transactions at the Chicago draft meetings will have any f definite effects upon next season's pennant pictures is uncertain; but at least, they will set the auction block for some lively trading before the 1945 campaign opens. Approximately 600 minor players will be available for the draft. These include such desir ables as Otto Denning, Buffalo catcher; Alex Mustaikis, right handed Toronto pitcher; Ed Levy, flrst-sacker of the Mil waukee Brewers and former Yankee outfielder; Billy Holm, Los Angeles catcher, etc. All 16 of the major clubs have Indicated that they will send representatives to the windy city draft conclave; and they prob ably will If for no other rea son than to get a quick break on the dickering that Is sure to fol low. Moreover, this may be the last draft gathering at which the $7,500 draft price for double A players will prevail players from the International league, American association and Pacific Coast league. Owners of the coast circuit have launched a robust-campaign to boost the double "A" draft price from $7,500 to $13,000. If that re quested price-Jump Is approved by the Major League council, it follows that the draft cost of players in the lesser minors will be elevated accordingly.

Paavo Katonen lost the deciding fall In a hectic wrest ling match with the Gray Mask at Medford armory last night. The Matk opened the cut with a series of head butts that left Katonen sprawled face-down on the canvas. The stranger from somewhere took the first fall with a half Boston Crab after both had ex changed head butts, most of the time with the Mask having the better of it. Katonen came back determin ed to even the count, and took the second fall with his hang man's hold. At the outset of the third fall Katonen was hit with a series of violent head butts and, al though he made a game effort to carry the fight to the Mask he was in no shape to do so. After Referee Earl Yoakley stop ped the match Katonen cried loudly for the Mask to return to the ring but It was too late. Ernie Piluso won two straight falls over Herb Parks in a fine scientific match. Pat (Rowdy) O'Doudy and Tony Ross went to a draw in the curtain raiser. O'Doudy took the first fall in the second round with a half Boston Crab and Ross the next spill In the. third with a back-breaker and press.

Juliette Low's birth day falls on Oct. 31. It is prob ably no mere coincidence that tha keynote of Girl Scouting is group work and group fellow ship. Mrs. Low was born in the south of a Confederate father and a Yankee mother. She learned early in life that once both sides of a question were known tolerance was born. In Girl Scouting, the program is simply the medium through which all girls get together to know one another. Mrs. Low began with a troop of 11 girls in 1912. Today the organization has reached its "million or more mark. Although Girl Scout Week is traditionally devoted to activi ties and publicity which illus trate the major interests of the Girl Scouts, this year emphasis is being given on the theme "Service to Hospitals." National reports show that Girl Scouts have a splendid rec ord of service to hospitals. More than 1,900,000 hours of hospital aid alone were Included !n the service "check" presented to President Roosevelt last March. In this community Girl Scouts have volunteered to help relieve the shortage of workers in the hospitajs and their duties in clude such tasks as making com presses, rolling bandages, wash ing equipment, setting trays, etc-. The girls are well super vised at all times. Even the young Brownies have done their part by collecting toys, making scrapbooks and contriving tray favors. During "Girl Scout Service to Hospitals Week" local Girl Scouts plan to observe each of the "seven service" days with special accent on hospital needs. Sunday usual church attend ance by Girl Scouts in uniform, also marked by special mention In the various pulpits of the work the Scouts are doing to help maintain civilian hospital service under wartime conditions. Monday, (homemaking day) the girls plan to work in hos pital kitchens. Tuesday, (arts and crafts day) they will spend a few hours at the Junior Red Cross, in the making of special handicrafts. Wednesday, (out of doors day) Scouts plan tp bring autumn bouquets to the hospital pa tients. Thursday (I n t e r n a 1 1 o nal friendship day) some of' the Girl Scouts will call at the school registrar office to find out how many different nationalities and races are represented in the var ous student bodies. Friday (citizenship day) sen ior Girl Scouts will offer the" Red Cross special assistance. Saturday (health and safety day) all Girl Scouts will apply In their own homes, health and safety rules they have learned through scouting. New Deal Charged As Anti-Veteran Columbus, O., Oct. 27 U.F9 Warren H. Atherton, past na tional commander of the Ameri can Legion, charged today that the New Deal administration has been "viciously anti-veteran" since it took office and pre dicted that 75 per cent of the votes of first world war veter ans will be cast for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Atherton, a Stockton, Cal., at torney and director of the vet erans' division of the republican national campaign, charged that President Roosevelt's hostility to veterans began in 1933 with the passage of the economy act which, Atherton said, cut velc erans' benefits by $40,000,000.
