OVER JACK KISER
IN BATTLE ROYAL
Gust Johnson, Pacific coast
Junior heavyweight wrestling
champion, bested Jack Kiser,
coast light-heavy king, two out
of three falls to come out top
man in last night's battle royal
at Medford armory.
"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.
Llllard announced that Pete
Belcastro will be on hand next
week and the Gray Mask will
probably appear here in two or
three weeks.

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.
OREGON QUINTET
DEFEATSjyiEDICS
Portland, Ore., Dec. 29 (U.ft

20 points for the medical school
five. '
The Webfeet went into an
early lead and were never head
ed, leading by 28 to za at the
half time. In the . second half,
Coach John Warren used his re
serves liberally.
High scorer for Oregon was
Bob Hamilton, who tossed in 14
points. His running mate a
guard, Jim Bartelt, tallied 11
points.
WAGERS GIVE USC
17-P01NT MARGIN
Pasadena, Cal. Dec. 29 (U.R)
Odds on Southern Califor
nia over Tennessee in the Rose
Bowl, which had dropped brief
ly from 19 points to IS, bounced
back to 17 today when the
bookies found themselves up to
their ears in Trojan money.
Local enthusiasts grew nerv
ous when Tennessee Coach
John Barnhlll closed the gates
on his workouts and went into
a sphinx act. But the drop in
odds cured the nerves and the
handicappers started shoving
their figures back toward the
three-touchdown bracket.

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.

"What's a formula,
anyhow ?"
"Her . . . er . . . formula? What's that? You
see, Pm a pretty new father. Nancy's only
three months old. My wife brought her up
to Portland to see me when I got shore
leave. She took sick and is in a Portland
hospital. Pm taking the baby down to her
gramma's in Los Angeles."
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.
