"Gorgeous" George W a g n er, who was scheduled to be sixth man In the free-for-all, was un able to appear because of a cracked shoulder Tecelved in a match Tuesday night. He had nlanned to aooear despite the in jury, but notified Promoter Mack Llllard yesterday after noon on advice of his physician. Llllard was unable to secure a last-minute substitute so the other five sraoDlers agreed to go through with the battle royal, first man eliminated to receive only transportation money and the other four to meet in one hour bouts. Bulldog Jackson was first out of the battle royal, pinned by the combined efforts of Johnson and Kiser. Milt Olson was sec ond to be eliminated, pinned by Terrible Tony Ross, who was aided by a pile-up of the others. Johnson and Kiser then turned their guns on Ross. Johnson held him while Kiser drop-kicked him, then both piled on and Ross was counted out. Ross took two out of three falls over Olson in their regula tion match. The first was on a hammerlock and Olson evened the count a short time later with three sonnenburgs, a drop-kick and press. Working for the third fall, Ross used many manuevers not In the book of rules. Each man took a trip through the ropes, but it was Ross who came up with a back-breaker for the win ning fall. Johnson and Kiser worked a clean and scientific match which was thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators. The first fall went to Johnson with a shoulder press and Kiser won the second with his pet al ligator clutch, Johnson won the deciding tumble when Kiser missed a drop-kick and Johnson fell on him for a body press.

Southern California Picked To Beat Vols, East Favored By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Dec. 29 U.PJ The new sports year will be ushered in Monday with some 316,000 fans attending six "bowl" games. Because of the tremendous na tional Interest In these football contests, we have taxed the cere bellum and cerebrum no end in attempting ta pick the winners. After this unprecedented men tal effort, we wound up with the following pigskin prognostica tions: Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Cal. Southern Cal. over Tennessee. Orange Bowl, Miami, Fla. Georgia Tech. over Tulsa. Sugar Bowl, New Orleans Duke over Alabama. Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Tex. Oklahoma Aggies over Texas Christian, Sun Bowl, El Paso, Tex. Southwestern , Texas over Mexico. ' Shrine Game, San Francisco East over West. ' The Miami Orange encounter shapes up as the best game on the slate. Tech., surprise con queror of navy, is favored be cause of its demonstration of combined ground and air strength during a tough schedule. But Tulsa has plenty of back ing because of the passing prow ess of Perry Moss, and its for midable running attack, spear headed by Camp Wilson. For the Pasadena Rose Bowl, the Southern California Trojans are heavily favored over Ten nessee's Volunteers, because the Trojan's showed almost prewar strength In late-season play. The Oklahoma Aggies are favored to beat Texas Christian in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas largely on the basis of their su perior showing against four mu tual opponents this season Texas, Texas Tech., Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Main Street Stat License P-137 JAPS ENCOURAGED IN EASTJIDWEST Portland,' Ore., Dec. 29 U.B Harold S. Flstere, new north west area war relocation au thority supervisor, today said the WRA was encouraging Jap anese to settle in the east or midwest but added he had every reason to expect Pacific coast residents to respect decisions of the supreme court and the army in allowing Japanese Americans to return to their former homes. Fistere, who will have head quarters in Portland and Seattle, pointed out that before indivi duals can leave the relocation centers for the Pacific coast, they must submit an application for approval by WRA authori ties, showing they have a way of making a living and have a definite place to live. 'Trained Japanese-Americans are offered scores of opportuni ties in techhical fields in the east and midwest," Fistere said, "and in fact the WRA has re ceived more opportunities for skilled Japanese workers than there are applicants. "The policy of the WRA to en courage west coast Japanese to settle in the east and midwest hasn't changed since the recent army order allowing them to re turn to the Pacific coast states, However, those desiring to re turn to their former locations here on the coast are assured the help and protection of the WRA. "After talking to Japanese that have been relocated to the east and midwest, it is the belief of the WRA that not more than 20 per cent of the 33,000 now in these sections .will return to the west coast.

Now you may think this quite an un usual situation a sailor traveling on a train, alone, with a three months old baby, without even knowing her formula. But it isn't Lots of things like this happen every day on our crowded wartime trains. That's why we have Passenger Aides on our trains that carry a large number of coach passengers. These specially trained women help make travel as comfortable as pos sible for women, children and elderly people. One minute they're fixing a baby's for mula, the next minute they're giving first aid to a cut on Johnny's leg, or helping care for a person who is not accustomed 1 to traveling. Little things, perhaps. But little things that are mighty important to our passengers. Passenger Aides are just one of the steps we've taken to improve our service to those who must travel in war time. In a way they represent the type of helpfuL friendly service all our people try to give, even though it's hard these days, being as short-handed as we are. SB-IP The friendly Southern Pacific
