A thread of hope that the Cali

vpon Roger Harding, the "stop

conference.
? Harding came to California

at fullback, the same position at
which he starred as a high school!

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

ern California is a thrco touch

expected to lead a dazzling Tro

Jackson entered the ring with

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

mystery man copped the first
fall with three head butU and a

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

BY RECORD RATE
OF NAW BIRTHS
Doctors Give Complete Care
To Mother and" Baby
Eases Sailors' Minds.
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

body which, to a greater or les
ser degree, determine how long
a person lives before senile de
cay sets In.
"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.
