I rOOIl MEDFORO MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, Wot. t, 1144 Major Changes Offensive Grid ' By Jack Cuddy United Press Correspondent New York, Nov. 6 Him Commenting upon the victory of Navy's iingle wing over Notre Dame's "I", Coach Lou Little of Columbia predicted today that wartime football will pro duce a new. explosive offense, combining the best featurei of both formations. "What they'll call this offense, I don't know; but it's coming," said Little, who Is chairman of the coaches rules committee and one of the most respected "brain guys" In the sport. He continued, "football has progressed rapidly during the past 20 years, and particularly during the past 10, ijoth on the offense and defense; but it's the type of sport that still has limit less possibilities for develop ment. "The progress already made has resulted from constant ex perimenting; but never has the game witnessed such concentrat ed, nation-wide experimenting as that which was virtually forc ed upon coaches by current war time conditions depleted squads, some green candidates who did not even play in high school, shortened practice ses sions, and tansfers during the season. For example, I changed from the single wing to the T at Columbia this season because my backs averaged about ISO pounds, and a few of the boys never had played before. I didn't have time to ground them in single-wing spcnners, etc. And I note that Michigan and some other schools are using both the ' single wing and the T forma tions." Little, a bespectacled chap who is coaching his ISth season at Columbia, emphasized that no 17EG A Successful Oregonian for U.S. SENATOR HH At.

Predicted in Formations formation can be successful without the players to execute it. However, he said, it is gen erally conceded now that the single wing and the T are the better. Both apparently provide more outside strength than other formations, like the double-wing and semi-punt. UPSET PACKERS BY 21-0 SCORE (UP Staff Correspondent New York, Nov. 6. (U.R) Not in the memory of the old est living National League foot ball fan has there been a time when a victory by the Chicago Bears over anybody could be classed as the season's top up set, but that was exactly the situation today after their tri umph over the Green Bay Pack ers, 21 to 0. When they met at Chicago yesterday, the Packers were heavy favorites but that didn't make any difference to Ensign Sid Luckman, the Bears' master passer and strategist. He scored the first touchdown in the first period on a center sneak after setting up the score with a pair of passes good for 36 yards. Within three minutes in the third period he tossed touch down passes of 81 yards to Ray McLean and 29 yards to George Wilson. ,. It was the first time in 66 games that Green Bay had failed to score in league com petition. Football Scores By United Press Second Air Force Super- bombers. 46, Amarlllo, Texas, A. A. F., 6.

TO THE RADIO FOR PASADENA IL San Francisco, Nov. 6. (U.R) Pacific Coast Conference col legiate football teams open their final round of battles for Rose Bowl t honors this week end, after harrowing experi ences with service elevens that saw two out of three go down to defeat. , California . and UCLA, who clash in their second game of the season in Los Angeles Sat urday, both dropped another game, the Bears losing to Ala meda Coast Guard 12-6 and the Bruins to the undefeated Fourth Air Force 35-13.

AUTHOlSSlAYS FAR EAST PEACE TO BE DIFFICULT Milwaukee (U,R) The far eastern peace will be an uneasy one because of probable British and Russian hesitation to allow a regime in China which is at odds with the Chinese commun ists. Emily Hahn, authoress, said. Miss Hahn gathered material for her best-selling biography, "The Soong Sisters," during her nine years in China. Visiting rel atives in this area, she told of her stay In China during Japa nese hostilities until her repara tion on the Grlpsholm last No vember. ' She said she escaped intern ment in Hong Kong when she lied that her husband was a Chi nese, who were not interned be cause Japan never admits being at war with her neighbor. Chiang to Stay There is a sort of communistic group in China, just as there Is in the United States, Miss Hahn stated, and there are diverse fac tions. Just as there are here, but there will be no civil war in China While Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek la in charge. . Chiang will be the leader un til his death, the writer predict ed, anticipating a ihake-up in the country after that. As for the famous American educated Soong sisters, Mme. Chiang Kai Shek, Mme. Kung and Mme. Sun Yat-sen, leading the nation to democracy In the postwar era, Miss Hahn said no woman would ever lead China. The country will become democratic, with a constitution modeled after that of the United States, she said, but only Chinese male leaders would bring about such a gov ernment. The writer scored the biting comments made against the Chi nese for slow progress in the war. "We can't scream at them for not doing better," she said, "be cause we don't send them am munition and they have none. All during the war, the United States sent China only as many tanks as were lost In one day on the Normandy beachhead." Eliminates Corruption But nevertheless, Chiang has a good army, mainly because of his reform movement, which kept political corruption out of it and rejuvenated the weary Chinese brigade. Miss Hahn stated. She said the reform which asked conscription of sec ondary school students, hitherto draft-exempt, was dangerous be cause China's youth always started revolts.

I J Myltkyina, North Burma (U.R) American and Chinese troops, who blasted the last Japanese defender out of this city more than two months ago and in cidentally blew away most of the city along with the enemy are hard at work today, rebuild Ine and reDalrina some of the buildings they shelled, bombed and riddled with machlnegun fire. The Americans and Chinese have moved into the Myltkyina area and taken over every con struction, with the exception of a few buildings to which war weary Myltkyina citizens have returned, that could possibly be used as a shelter. The sound of hammering and sawing goes on into the night these days as trooDS patch walls ripped open by shellfire, laying floors which had been removed by diggmg in Japanese and repair roofs which were riddled and blasted by shellfire and strafing planes. But so many totally-destroyed homes and buildings remain that the sight of Mytikyina is not so much different from what it was on August 4, the day after the last defening enemy had been chased into the bushes and trees beyond.
