FOOT MEBFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. Mot. I, 1844
Ernie Piluso will be number
eight in string of opponent
attempting to atop the winning
streak of the Gray Mask In the
main event of Thursday night's
Medford armory wrestling card.
Filuso pins his hopes of achieve
ment on his deadly headlock
and octopus hold, a maneuver
that never fails to pin an oppon
ent once it is properly applied.
The Portland flash has no in
tention of trying to match head
butts with the Mask, who has
lost only two falls in his local
appearances, but will pit bis
kill and speed against the un
orthodox style employed by the
mystery man.
Pete Belcastro, Weed terror,
comes back to the armory arena
and will face Tex Porter, for
mer Medford boy, in the four
round middle event. Belcastro
will probably be given a match
with the Mask if he can get over
the rugged Porter.
Ear) Malone, who displayed
an array of rough tactics last
week, will face a master at this
type of wrestling in Bulldog
Jackson in the opening bout, be
ginning at 8:30.

Coming out of the football
game with Bend last week,

Army-Irish Game Rated As
Warm-Up For Later Clash
. By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspendent
New York, Nov. 8 (U.B
It verges on the historic to find
the Army-Notre Dame classls
America's No. 1 football game
rated as a mere appetizer for a
later contest. But that's the sit
uation: with Saturday's Cadet-
Irish clash at Yankee stadium
regarded generally as a sort of
apertif before the Army-Navy
sizzler at Annapolis, December
2.
Army will trot onto the field
Saturday, before nearly 80,000
fans, generally expected to give
the green-Jersied Irish as lop
sided a trouncing as the 32-13
defeat handed Notre Dame by
Navy last week. This would con
firm the later Annanolis classic
as a genuine "meeting of t h e
mighty."
If Army can beat the South
Bend squad by a margin bf 19
points, Lt. Col. Red Blaik will
have turned out a magnificent
team, indeed. Because the
Cadets will be facing an Irish
squad that's certain to be In
spired by the tradition of the
classic a squad that will go all
out to keep alive the record that
Notre Dame never has been beat
en by" both Navy and Army In
the same season.
This contest should be a grand
adventure In gridiron psychol
spirit of Notre Dame" lift this
wartime, sub-par band from
South Bend In its traditionally
"big game? Against Illinois and
Navy, defensive defects were ex
posed that remove the 1944
Irish, physically at least, from
the high plane of prewar Notre
Dame squads. And since the
Navy contest, the team has been
additionally weakened by the
loss of Halfback George Terlap,
through transfer. Meanwhile,
they are pitted against one of
the strongest machines In Army
history possibly the strongest.
From every angle, the annual
Army game la the most import
ant on Notre Dame's schedule.
For years the South Bend insti
tution has been regarded as the
nation's No. 1 football school. It
has a larger following of self
appointed "alumni" by far than
any other university. It's annual
clash with Army has captivated
the public, year after year, In a
fashion never achieved by any
other college contest not even
the bowl games post-season af
fairs that are staged long after
the hurly-burly of the campaign
has let down. Moreover, since
1923, the classic generally has
been played In New York and
generally at Yankee stadium. It
has been a colorful, thrill

SKILL, COFFEE
USED TO AVOID
Headquarters, Fleet Air Wing
Four U.R Seven men rode
baclc from Paramushiro island
recently in a battle-blistered
Ventura bomber with' flying
skill, a spare compass, some in
genuity, a Jug of coffee, and per
haps a guardian spirit to thank
for their return.
The flying skill was displayed
by Lt. John W. Pool of Corpus
Christl, Texas, aided by Ensign
Bernard Rielley of Pottsville.
Pa., who wheeled into a cloud
bank after the cannon shell from
a Japanese fighter exploded in
side their stubby-winged plane.
But before evading the fighters.
Pool and his gunner, Arthur
Haycraft of Cedar Rapids, la.,
sprayed two enemy planes with
tracers.
Pool and his crew had been
on a raid against the northern
Japanese Island when Jumped
by enemy fighters seven com
ing low and eight or ten hover
ing above in the sun. The fight
that followed was short and
fast; but, like all air combat in
the North Pacific, the battle with
guns was only half the fight. The
long over-water flight home in
a damaged plane still remained.
Compass Knocked Out
The Jap fire had knocked out
the compass and other instru
ments in the pilot's compart
ment, but Ensign Jack Warner
of Edlnboro, Pa., the navigator,
went to work with the spare
compass still undamaged despite
the shell explosion within the
plane.
"I was working over one1 of
the men and Pool was calling
for a heading. He was in the fog
and warned a course home,
Warner said. "I'd never worked
with this type of compass before,
but finally Rielley and I got a
course worked out. It must have
been okay because later we got
the other instruments working
and were headed straight home."
It wasn't until after the radio
operator, Lee Lawrence of Ruth-
ven, la., notified the field that
the ship was landing with
wounded men that the crew dis
covered the hydraulic system
had been shot out.
Pool headed the plane down
but as soon as the wheels were
lowered for a landing creating
pressure on the hydraulic sys
tem the hydraulic fluid squirt
ed from the explosion-shattered
feedllne, spraying the Interior of
the plane with an oily fluid. '
"I thought we had hit the
water for sure," Warner said.
Circled Field
Pool took the plane up and
circled the field, and the en
gineer, Charles Scott of Turlock.
Calif., squeezed the broken line
with his pliers to stop the leak.

November Sky Review and
The Celestial Harp
By J. Hugh Pruett
Astronomer, General Extension
Division, University of Oregon
November skies, proverbially
cloud-cOvered, sometimes break
their gloom and permit us to
look into the infinitudes of the
great open spaces where dwell
the "everlasting stars." When
opportunity affords early this
coming month, let us note the
more prominent celestial ob
jects. The brilliant planet Venus Is
now setting about 1V4 hours aft
er the sun so must be looked for
In the southwest in the deepen
ing twilight. Although this god
dess of love and beauty is the
brightest star-like object in the
sky, she is not yet in a location
to present her greatest splendor,
a pleasurable anticipation of
early spring.
Around 7:30 p. m. we find the
bright star Altair very high in
the sky a little west of south.
Orange Arcturus Is sparkling
near the horizon considerably
north of west. Our old stand-by,
the Big Dipper, is now right side

pact group of little stars com
prising the Pleiades merrily
twinkles near the horizon. A
week from now when the moon
Is out of the early evening sky,
the Pleiades may be seen in all
their beauty. Ordinary eyes see
six stars in the group; very keen
eyes, often nine or more.
For the only other bright Star
in the eastern half of the sky
we must look In a direction be
tween southeast and south
where blue-white Fomalhaut is
scintillating not high above the
horizon. This star is in the
mouth of the Southern Fish.
Almost overhead Deneb, at
the top of the Northern Cross, Is
conspicuous although not so
bright as the other stars so far
located. Somewhat west of
Deneb and very high in the sky,

of Orpheus, is very bright. Five
dim stars very near Vega out

fluid to make up for the 'Juice'
lost, so we could get the flaps
down," Pool said. "Luckily we'd
been too busy on the way back
to drink our coffee or cans of
orange Juice one of which was
conveniently torn open by a
shell fragment. So we poured it
all Into the hydraulic fluid con
tainer. It was Just enough to
bring the pressure up so we
could land."
The crash crew stood by as
Pool brought the plane In low
for a perfect landing, holding
the wheelless ail up until the
plane slowed down and the tail
clattered over the landing mat.
The crew Jumped out and
headed for the interrogation
room.

Rielley said.
