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.

JACKSON MEETS
Bulldos Jackson and the un
defeated Gray Mask will clash
in the, top main event of the
Thursday night wrestling ' card
in Medford Armory Promoter
Mack Lillard said today.
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,

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

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.
He certainly did.

Philadelphia Stadium Set
To Handle Army-Navy Game
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. 13 U,R
Mayor Bernard Samuel of Phil
adelphla says, "We are all set to
accommodate 110,000 people in
our municipal stadium if the
Army-Navy football game on De
cember 2 Is shifted from An
napolls to Philadelphia.
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

their utmost as a war-aid, in
stead of being wasted in the soli
tude of Annapolis, where only
11,000 witnessed the 1942 con
test. 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

Ken Strong, the 37-year-old
