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

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

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. ,

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

Undefeated but twice tied,
USC takes the week off after
triumphing over San Diego
Navy 28-21. The Trojans meet
California Nov. 18 and UCLA
Nov. 25 in the final two confer
ence games, and are heavy fa-,
vorites to return to the Pasa
dena Bowl New Year's day..
Saturday's other major con
test will be at Seattle, where
the once-tied Fourth Air Force
will defend its record against
the Washington Huskies.
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.

nounced today that Ernie Plluso

arena after considerable absence
to face Tex Porter, former Med
ford ' boy, in the four round

place on the card when he was
too late in making up his mind
to accept a match..
Bulldog Jackson, himself a
master at rough-house tactics,
will meet Malone in the opener.

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.
USED FOR BRIDES
Sydney, Australia, Nov. 6
(U.R) Charges that Australian
wives and children of American
servicemen were transported to
the United States aboard a hell
ship" operated by the U. S. navy
were made public today by a
Sydney Automobile company
official who accompanied a par
ty of immigrants on a recent
voyage. ,
, The complainant, Darcy Jones,
said in an open letter of protest
today that as many as 15 women
and children were forced to
sleep in a single cabin' without
fresh water or fans.
"The mothers' nerves went to
hell because there was nowhere
to leave their babies at meal
times," Jones said. "Conditions
for feeding the babies were ter
rible. The hot water supply was
inadequate and the food unsuit
able." Jones said the vessel, which
was not identified, was owned
by the Matson Steampship com
pany. It reached the United
States on September 28.. .
