W.SO p m London Girl Reporter Gives Impression Of Gridiron Tilt (The United Press asked Vivien Batchcjor, a girl reporter for the London Dally Express, to write her impression of Sunday's foot ball game in London between teams representing the U. S. army and navy. Her story fol lows.) London, Nov. 12 (U.R) My first impression was: "These Americans must love fighting, they even do it for fun." The main object of the game appears to be for some unfor tunate player to have the oval orange ball flung at him and then the rest of the players flung on him. Obviously, the Instinct of self preservation Is the only reason why the game progresses toward the goal lino at all. The player with the ball rushes madly to wards It in an effort to savo his life and limb. How anyone comes out alive Is a miracle. As soon as you buy a pro Rram. you give a sinister shud der.

The Mask requested the bout, the first man he has asked par ticularly to meet since his stay here. The two men nearly came to blows In the dressing room last week after the Mask's vic tory over Ernie Piluso and the match takes on natural grudge proportions since there is con siderable ill feelings between these two muscle manglers. . Piluso will face Pete Belcas- tro, the Weed Assassin, in the four round middle go, a match that promises as much rough wrestling as the top bout. A pair of roughnecks, Rowdy O'Doudy and Earl Malone, will mix in the three round opener., Production of rice in the Soviet union, brought to stand still by the German - Invasion, will be restored to prewar levels in 1943 through repair of locks and irrigation systems destroy ed by Germans in the Kuban rice fields. players neatly listed. There, un derneath. are the substitutes. You count them and realize there are 13 substitutes for 11 players. Then you notice a stretcher- bearer and you laugh at the doc tor with the black bag. The only time you see a doctor scamper ing with a black bag In England Is when he is off to a maternity case. The most fascinating man on the field Is the man with the buckets a GI who does an Im personation of a milk-maid about six times during the game. I was horrified at first when I saw htm rush out. Good grac ious, I asked, is he bleeding that much? But he was not rushing out to the man who had Just been injured, but to other play ers who had survived the strug gle. I also was fascinated by the literal expressions around me. "He got smeared," someone said.

Mayor Samuel adds, "There's no transportation problem in volved, because we can fill the stadium with Philadelphians Moreover, we are in position to make the game a smashing suc cess in selling war bonds, or in raising funds for war relief or for the Red Cross." It's fortunate that "Barney" Samuel and his Philadelphia co horts are prepared to handle the service classic on short notice, because It seems virtually cer tain now that President Roose velt an avowed antl-lsolatlon- 1st will make a swift transfer of the contest from the "isola tion" of little Thompson stadium at Annapolis to the huge con crete horseshoe where the color ful pigskin pageant has been staffed six times previously. We are "virtually certain" that the site will be changed this week for many reasons: The army and navy teams, be cause of recent magnificent tri umphs, now stand out as grid iron titans. Their approaches collision shapes up as the No. 1 sports contest of 1944. Unques tionably, It is the "neeDul's cherce" that the vast potential ities or tnis classic be used to DO YOU WANT TO SELL .

Now that the election Is over, President Roosevelt can transfer the game without being accused of using it as a political football. It is our belief that he would have made the change before this, were it not for the election, because of increasing pressure from many channels partic ularly the treasury department which launches the sixth war loan drive November 20.
