has been in-anted a rematch with
the hooded mystery man for the
three-fall one-hour main event

Llllard for the match, claiming
that he now has the key to how
to defeat the man who has cut
a swath of six straight mat vic
tories at Medford arena, two of
them over the Finn. Katonen
pointed out that he stayed away
from the Mask's devastating
head butts for most of the match

feat only after he became care
less. Ernie Plluso and newcomer,
Earl Malone, clash in the middle
' go, down for four rounds or two
out of three falls, and Bulldog
Jackson, colorful veteran, mixes
with Tony Ross In the opener,
for three rounds or two out of
three falls.

In other locales where post

wide open and a lively bidding
bee Is expected from the spon
sors of the Orange, Cotton, Sug

of the many teams with outstand
ing records.
Sponsors of the Rose Bowl-
oldest of the New Year's day grid
classics pointed out that It
would be difficult to arrange an
attractive game between Pacific
conference teams Inasmuch as
Washington, the only eleven
operating in the northern divis
ion, already has played southern
California and California, while
the three California members
will meet each other twice dur
ing th)e regular season.
The Pasadena, Cal., organiza
tion would like to obtain Army,
Navy, Yale or Pennsylvania but
all are committed against post
season contests; Holy Cross, un
beaten but twice-tied, appeared
to have the Inside track at this
time, but several other clubs
were being considered. If the
University of Southern Cali
fornia Is the host team It has
nominated Georgia Tech as its
number one choice If the navy
leave rules, which restrict train
ees to 48 hours leave from their
campuses, can be lifted or It the

ALLIED OFFENSE
New York, Nov. 1 (U.R)
Hugh Baillie, president of the
United Press, said in a radio in
terview last night that the re
sumption of a ground-gaining
offensive on the western front
depended on solid under-footing
fqr Allied forces, and the
opening of a major port for sup
plies. Baillie was Interviewed by
Richard Harkness, NBC Wash
ington reporter, who asked the
UP executive for his prediction
on the end of the war in Europe
based on his tour of the battle
fronts and conversations with
top Allied military leaders. .
Weather Bad
Baillie replied that the Allies
might be bogged down In mud
all along the front as long as
present weather, continues and
until sufficient supplies could
be brought up to start another
drive.
"A few weeks of hard or froz
en ground and clear skies would
probably make a big differ
ence," Baillie said.
The UP president said the
port of Antwerp, captured bv
the Allies .but blocked off by
a German pocket along the
Schelde river, was obviously
the one wanted by military
leaders.
Antwery Big Port
"That Is the reason for all
the fighting now going on to
push the Germans out of the es
tuary so that our ships can move
in and out. Antwerp is a big
port and is close to the front,"
he said.
Baillie said only a guess could
be offered as an answer - to
Harkness' question as to where
the next offensive thrust would
be. He pointed out, however,
that offensives usually follow
the line of heavy bombings and
that Cologne and the cities be
tween It and the American
lines were taking a pounding
from the Allied air force.
Nasis Desperate
German resistance Is now
that of a desperate, cornered
gangster, Ballle said. Many
Germans are .willing to quit
now, but have little opportun
ity since their front has been
reinforced by SS troops and of
ficers. The German high command Is
conserving its dwindling supply
of tanks and planet, Baltlle said
in reDlv to Harkness' quesuon
as to what had become of these
weapons.
Air Power conservea
"The German tanks do show
up occasionally asually at
place where they feel there is
an immediate threat to their
front." Baillie said. "Their
planes appear very infrequently
and usually only on strafing ex
peditions. They have little or
no' aerial reconnaissance. They
do come over sometimes at
night and drop pamphlets. I
couldn't get any answer to the
question of what has become
of the Luftwaffe when I -was
over there. They may be hold
ing it in reserve. But let's not
take for granted that they
haven't any more air power.
What they have and what is
quite noticeable is Increasing
strength in Flak guns, since the
war from their standpoint has
gone from the offensive to the
defensive."
