The game will decide the dis vtrlct 2 champions, with winners advancing Into semi-final round lor the state championship De cember 2. According to advance Infor mation, Coquille's line will av erage 1S8 pounds per man to Medford's 188. Their backfleld averages 156.5 to the Tornado's 174.5. Both teams use the T formatlon. t Records for the season show both teams 'to be high scorers, with Coqullle using consider able "razzle-dazzle" and throw ing a lot of passes to gain their points. The game promises to be a high scoring affair with a lot of flashy football, the kind of game spectators like to see. Coiach Al Simpson said Med- ford will be somewhat weakened on both offense and defense by the loss of Cahill at left guard, but said he is well pleased wlh the performance of Tlngley and believes he will plug the gap nicely. ' The field Is In fine shape for a fast game and propects of ex cellent football weather points to a record crowd. .

Harding came to California as a freshman In 1041 and played at fullback, the same position at which he starred as a high school! l lJ n..i. t ai- - as a ski trooper In the U. S. army, Harding received a medi cal discharge, because of ear drum trouble and came back to Coach Leonard (Stub) Allison,! who put him to work at center.! Because of their particular Weakness on pass defense and I lack of any all around offensive strength, the Bears are given lit-, tie chance of repeating their I earlier 6 to 6 standoff with the irojans. in most quarters ooum ern California is a thrco touch down favorite, with Jim Hardy expected to lead a dazzling Tro jan pass attack. In other Pacific games, U. C. L. A. plays College of Pacific, the Second Air Force Superbombers meet the Washington Huskies and on Sunday the March Field Fliers oppose San DIoko Naval, with St. Mary's Pro-Flight against the Fleet City Blue jackets.

Of the four major unbeaten and untied college elevens, Army was the only one concer ed to have an easy time ahead Saturday by the price-setters. Mississippi State, playing in a southern classic In which the winner is almost certain to re-1 celve a Bowl bid, was only even money against Alabama. Yale rated 8 to 5 to remain unblem ished against the invading North Carolina Tarheels and Ohio State's Buckeyes were 9 to S over weary but still trouble some Illinois. In the Big Ten, Michigan was 3 to 1 to maintain second place against Wisconsin. Indiana rated 3 to 1 over Pittsburgh, Notre Dame was 3 to 2 to re bound over Northwestern, Min nesota was 7 to 5 over Iowa and Great Lake 3 to 1 over Marquette. Oklahoma, pacing the Bix Six was 2 to 1 against Kansas. Iowa Pre-flight rated 3 to 1 over Missouri and Kansas State was 7 to 5 over Washburn. Texas Christian was 8 to 7 underdog against Texas, while Arkansas and Texas A Sc M 1 rated 8 to 5 over Southern Methodist and Rice respectively. Randolph Field's Fliers were 4 to 1 over Little Southwestern and Texas Tech 2 to 1 over New ' Mexico. " j me price was 2 to 1 on South ern California to enhance its Rose Bowl prospects at the ex pense of California on the Pa cific coast. The Second Air Force Superbombers were 7 to 8 over Washington's Huskies.- Ml MAT BOUT ' TO GRAY MASK The Gray Mask extended his winning strenlc tn nln ctrnloM at Medford armorv last nlehl when he took two out of three fall from Bulldog Jackson in the -main event of Promoter Mack Llllard's weekly mat card. Jackson entered the ring with his forehead solidly covered with adhesive tape. When the Mask refused to wrestle until this was removed, Referee Earl Yoaklcy took It off and found a silver dollar beneath. Yoakley was given a busy evenins trvlno tn Mask and Jackson confined to somewhere near clean Inctlm and was given a head butt by me MasK for his trouble. The mystery man copped the first fall with three head butU and a half crab. Soon after the second session started Jackson caught the Mask in a stomping hammerlock and was given a fall. Jackson made several efforts to get another hammerlock but ran Into a series of head butts and was pinned with a body press to lose the deciding spill. The Bulldog still didn't have enough and came at the Mask after the match was over. He got in one solid blow before stop- pen ay xoaKiey. 1'eto Bclcastro, behind one fall, caught Ernie Piluso in a surfboard in th thlrH Piluso wan linnhla in mnll.,.. . I ri .. ..

By Frederick C. Othman United Press Correspondent Washington, Nov. 17 U.R Last night at 8 o'clock in St. Louis Rear Admiral Luther Sheldon, Jr., made a speech. He said and you'd better sit down now thai navy doctors officiate at the births of between 20,000 and 30,000 navy babies a year. Wow. So I hopped as quickly as I could to the navy's baby depart ment and the admiral wasn t kidding. The place was all over babies. "Beautiful babies, said Com modore Richard Warner, com manding officer of the naval I dispensary. "I think they're just about the best looking babies I ever saw." . The commodore, who wears aj gray mustache, a continuing smile and gold brain on his cuffs, said he and, his corps of uniform obstetricians weren't taking any special credit for that. Everybody knows that a sailor is a handsome gent. He marries a pretty girl, with brains and the result is babies, classi fied according to sex as either beautiful or handsome. Commodore Warner and his ten obstetricians preside Vnlyj over arrival of naval babies in the capital, even so they brought Into the world last month 235 future admirals and WAVES, about evenly divided. All over the country other dispensaries welcomed naval babies at the same rate. "We start with prenatal care as soon as the subject comes into the lady's mind," the com modore said.- "Within 24 hours after her baby is born we call In the pediatrician for consul tation and six weeks later we have the Infant in for an over haul. We keep bringing him in regularly for the first year." One of the fine things about the navy baby service, accord ing to the admiral in St. Louis and the commodore and the lieu tenants here, is its morale building effect. When a man's fighting in far places It does him no harm to know that his wife and child at home are receiving the finest possible care. Only babies I saw were the ones in pink and blue blankets brought Into the dispensary for what Commodore Warner called their, overhauls. The actual births occur at hospitals, but what I observed was enough to make me agree with the com modore. Navy babies are just plain beautiful, even when they weep. MADIGAN SAID THROUGH AS IOWA GRID MENTOR Iowa City, la.1, Nov. 17 (U.R) It was indicated today that Edward "Slip" Madigan may not return next year as football coach for the University of Iowa but neither Madigan nor university officials confirmed the report. Madigan said that Iowa had been "very good to me" and that "I will not be able to dis cuss my future plans for sev eral days." Friends had said that business interests on the Pacific coast would prevent Madigan from returning. .

' SCIENTISTS WORK TO INCREASE LIFE OF By Robert Musel United Press Correspondent Oxford, Eng., Nov. 17 (U.R) An international team of scien tists who believe that few, if any, men have ever lived out their normal span of life held out hope today that men and women of future generations may expect an average life of 100 years or more before senil ity or death. These are no dabbles In re juvenlatlon or monkey gland ex periments, but serious research workers whose investigations Into the causes of premature old age have left- them with the conclusion that death at the ages now considered normal ac tually is abnormal. Advances In Biology "Living to 55 or 115 isn't any rule-of-thumb affair. It is en tirely pathological," according to one of the team's leading members, Russian-born Dr. V. Kprenchevsky, who is working in a crowded ' little, laboratory in Oxford University1 on a $12, 000 fund granted by. Lord Muf field to continue the experi ments for the next three years. With further advances in biol ogy and and blo-chemistry, he predicted, researchers will be able to determine just what it is In the make-up of Individual bodies that kills one ,man in middle age while another be comes a centenarian.' "When we find the pathologi cal reasons, it will be perfectly simple to insure normal life to well over ldo." Scientists Famous ' Any of the scientists working with Korenchevsky are famous in their respective fields in Britain, the United States, France, Denmark, and Switzer land, and they are distrustful of any publicity for their work before definite results can be shown. But since "definite" results may not be available for dec ades and even for centuries, they agreed through Korenchev sky to disclose some details of their approach to the problem they describe as "the accident of old age." . Now 65, Korenchevsky be came Interested in gerontology, the science of aging, in 1907 when he saw a group of old people "rotting away" in an In firmary. But it was not until 1939 that he and other leading gerontolo gtsts were convinced that medi cine and the Allied sciences had advanced sufficiently to give their own research a chance for success. Stronger Lines "There would have been no use In prolonging life unless we could prolong healthier, strong er lives," he explained. "Thus the great advances in blo-chcm-lstry, hormones, vitamins, end ocrine glands, and such con vinced us the time had come." Korenchevsky said the task ahead is to isolate and classify the chemical compounds In the DO YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR CAR? Sea Us Top Prices No Delay Any Make or Model Skinner's Garage r 143 8.

"Then, perhaps, we will be able to administer the proper chemical compounds and help life run its normal course." He added: "Some day we shall desire death at the end of life as to day we desire sleep at the end of the day. We shall not fear it." Los Angeles," Nov. 17 (U.R) A group of wax disks today held the gruesome story of how Otto Steve Wilson hacked to pieces the bodies of two women to satisfy a perverted sex desire as police prepared to bring him to speedy trial for the city's most heinous crime in a generation. Wilson, a 32-year-old cook, casually told police how he mur- i dered and mutilated Mrs. Virgie Lee Griffin, 25, and Betty Cros by, alias Mrs. Lillian Johnson, 42. Hidden microphones record ed the ghoulish story. . When he finished, Wilson signed a copy of his confession, adding: "I've always been emotional ly unstable and with my sexual complex I went completely in sane and could not possibly con trol myself." Authorities said the case would be presented to the grand Jury next Tuesday. Mrs. Griffin's body, ripped open from her pelvis to her throat, was found stuffed In a closet In a downtown hotel room, a leg severed and her breasts slashed off. . Less than an hour later, the horribly slashed body of the blood fiend's second victim was found in a hotel room a few blocks away. T: Modesto, Cal., Nov. 17 U.R) The first test auction of sur plus government - property by the agricultural adjustment agency here yesterday brought heated bidding from a throng of more than 5,000 farmers, many of whom reportedly paid "three times the OPA ceiling price" for a variety of scarce agricultural equipment. Materials, taken from an aluminum plant 14 miles from Modesto, included Hems rang ing from electric motors to rub ber boats. The auctioneer was swamped and thousands of would-be pur chasers, . many from distant points In San Joaquin valley, were unable to enter their bids. Two highways near the site were choked with automobiles. Closing time for Sunday Too Lato to ClntMfy 6 80 Saturday afternoon Pleasa remember.

The pincers attack on the strife-torn capital spearheaded the Soviet offensive along a 100-mile front stretching into northeastern Hungary, where Red army troops rapidly were encircling Miskolc, the country's fifth city. Near the center of the Hun-' garian front, two columns of Marshal Rodlon Y. Malinov- sky's 2nd Ukrainian army were converging on the big rail and highway junction of Hatvan, 22 miles northeast of Budapest. IN PEACE PLEAS Zurich, Switzerland, Nov. 17 (U.R) Travellers entering Switzerland from Germany to day said German women staged tumultuous peace demonstra tions in Mannheim over the past week-end but were sup pressed "bloodily" by gestapo agents and nazi elite guards. (The dispatch gave no imme diate details of the reported peace riots. Swiss reports earlier this week said 21 persons were hanged by nazi authorities In Cologne for similar demonstra tions against continuing the war.) Religion Urged For School Curriculum C h 1 c a g o (U.R) Religion should be made part of the cur riculum of the public schools because students are becoming almost "totally illiterate" con cerning religion, Dr. Charles Clayton Morrison, editor of the Christian Century, told 5,000 teachers at a meeting of the A BETTER BLEND FOR BETTER DRINKS T OLD H0MPS0N BRAND SUNMOU otsnustiu COMPACT Ucofaetitte LOCTSVTUS.
