The esteemed Klamath Falls
Herald and News having its an
nual civic and conniption fit over
the Black Tornado-Pelican game
Friday night, in an editorial de
signed to stiffen its own, and the
spinal column of its team, ob
serves: It happens, however, that
there have been no games
which afford a scoring com
parison between Medford and
Klamath Falls."
It happens, however, there has
been one game that affords a
scoring comparison of sorts. Med
ford defeated Marshfield 40 to 0;
Grants Pass beat Marshfield 20
to 0, and, only last Friday the
Cavemen whipped Klamath Falls
13 to 12. From here out, let the
figures speak for themselves.
They leave the Pelicans with a
slight edge over Marshfield.
Now as Exhibit A. consider the
opening paragraph of the Coos
Bay Times account of the Marsh-ficld-Myrtle
Point game last Sat
urday: "Marshfield high school dis
played a first class girls' pep
club at Myrtle Point Saturday.
The MIIS yell kings and root
ers performed nobly. The hap
less Pirate football team, dub
bed the "scoreless wonders"
of Coos county, Just went for
the ride."
Substitute Klamath Falls for
Marshfield In the above item,
and you have a frank and candid
description of the powerful (at
home) Pelicans.

They did not know that Daddy

Became so enthusiastic decided to travel up to Baker Field near
the Harlem river and see Columbia play Yale, chose this in pre
ference to the West Point-Michigan contest, which looked like too
easy picking for the Army. Like everything else in the sporting
or entertainment line, hard to get seats but finally secured them.
Columbia won 27 to 13, but it was an interesting and unusual game,
o o . o o
In our college days Yale was the "bull dog," notorious for
making last-ditch stands and coming from behind in the last few
minutes to win. And Yale, sad to relate usually won!
But there was no "bull dog" in this aggregation from New
London. They were a strong husky group of young men; not only
put over two touchdowns and a goal but played the "city slickers"
right off their feet In every department of the game in the first half.
With this lead of 13 points, the betting 30 years ago would
have been around 10 to one in favor of the "blue" at the half-way
mark, and perhaps it was at this engagement for all we know.
But in the second half the Ells collapsed like a punctured balloon,
not only couldn't make a stand anywhere but couldn't play foot
ball, and If our recollection is correct only made three first downs
while the "Ko-Loom-bla" lads ran up 27 points, and it could easily
have been 72 points as far as the relative merits of the two teams
in that second period were concerned.
A more complete and mystifying reversal, we have never
seen, in this greatest of all outdoor sports. Will be interested to
see what the sports experts say about it, haven't been able to get
a Sunday paper as yet, all sold out early at this hotel.

SHIRT TO BE HAD,, and no telling when there will be any!
Orders for custom-made shirts, the clerk said, were six months
behind. He blamed It all on the OPA with a low ceiling price
which took all profit out of white shirts so the manufacturers
simply refused to make them. (We doubt the truth of this but
have no evidence to refute It.) After a long search we finally got
one and It was the last one the store had in our sizel So it goesl

Incldently it is not difficult to see what a terrific increase In
prices would result if there were no ceilings, no price controls
under such conditions. (Far better to have no white shirts at all
than uncontrolled Inflation!)
Coming back from the game ran into a crowd at 6th avenue
and 44th street listening to a loud voiced man on a truck asking
all and sundry to vote for "Jonah." While the speaker paused a
few moments for breath a phonograph at his side started to grind
out a catchy marching song the chorus being something along the
line of "vote for Jonah, Jonah the peoples' man!" It took us a
few moments to realize this was not a ballyhoo to build up trade
for a new patent combination potato peeler and corkscrew, but
was apparently a serious, authorized effort to get votes for Judge
Jonoh Goldstein, Republican and so called "Fusion" candidate for
mayor.
With such a name with such a connotation we should have
supposed there would be no "build-up" along the "Jonah" line

were engaged in brushing off their gals' hots and hair-do's, it
was no easy Job and the prettier the gal the longer the operation
seemed to take!
Nearlng the field, we saw something that one would orobnbly
see in no other city in the world, for the simple reason that for
nerve and daring the "Dead End Kids" of New York lead the
world. A group of them (no doubt, first certain no cops were near)
scaled the high-wire and barbwlre fence at the east end of the
field, and were over it and scrambling up the bank like so many
rabbits, before anyone In the crowd had time to sound an alarm.
This fence would have to be seen to have the feat believed, it
was a sort of woven wire at least 10 feet high with three strands

Hats
From the Gentleman's Jour
nal in 1830: "Ladies should re
move their hats at the theatre
for the plumed varieties obscure
the view of those behind them."
From the London Sketchbook of
1899: "If ladies would remove
their hats theatres would become
more agreeable places." From
the New York Journal 1907:
"We are heartily in accord with
that theatre manager whose no
tice reads 'Ladies with large hots
will please sit on the floor.' "
From the soundwave illustrated.
September 1945: "Women's
large hats art still a nuisance at
i the cinema, opera and ballet.'
(Note Why is it women so
strongly battle against the idea
of removing their hats in thea
tres? In so doing is their hair
do affected? Or is it Just be
cause it is too much trouble?)

Champion Hens
What breed of hen Is the best egg
producer?. Is it the Rhode Island
Red? Twelve Rhode Island Red
hens recently produced 2,976
eggs In eighteen days in England

Has anybody in the U. S. A.

to beat this record? Maybe we
could arrange an egg laying

News Behind

Washington, Oct 18 G e n.

strategy of

gration of

and air force.
He said this
was the lesson
eaui Malum he learned
from the war
as well as Yamashlta, who at
tributed his part of Jap defeat
to lack of land, sea and air co
ordinHtion. This address was actually a
verbal bomb, a directed missile,
which hit Washington In what
might be called n strategic if
Invisible spot. The Joint chiefs
of staff held on unreported se
cret meeting a week earlier
(October 9) and failed to dj any
thing about rrcating Just such a
comb'notion of our forces into a
single depar'ment.
Since last April they have
been doing the some thing about
It nothing. They have not let
It rouch the public eye or ear.
but suppressed the report recom
mending It so thoroughly that
not even the president, to whom
it wrj destined had then receiv
ed It.
HJIACARTHUR'S action re
minded me of Billy Mit

man who told the public years

MacArthur's method practi
cally dripped honey He did not
mentinn onv report or even the
lolnt chiefs of staff, but Just set
out an apparently sincere state
ment of facts, for which a pri
vate could rot even be court
martialed. THE common story going
1 armnd the copliol Is that the
navy is responsible for the dan
gerous daley. (The delay is dan
cerou because Is will require
many months to gt the new in-tocrat-d
syrtem In operation,
pnd tliert-forv efficient notional
defense Is boing postponed) But
1 cannit accept the story of navy
responsibility unless you con
sider Adm. King the navy. He is
on the Joint chiefs of staff, and
Is knewn to be the leader of the
opposition
lint you may recall my recent
column exposing the report in
dicated Adms. Nimitr and Hal
sey favored the combination as
well as Mac-Arthur, who has
now spoken out, and Elsen
hower, slated shortly to be
chief-uf-staff in Gen. Marshall's
place. Indeed a navy admiral
signed the report. Only a retired
admiral dissented.
e e o
I TNQUESTIONABLY, a num.
ber of navy men do believe
their appropriations from con
gress will be cut when they lose
their independent status and
must work on congress through
a single department head. I
guess this is apt to prove true.
But for any branch of the
service to put appropriations
above national defense, a plan
for national defense considered
necessary by a clear majority of
the fighting leaders, wouia
make them subject to court-mar
tial If I was running their ser
vice. Some sound technical objec
tions have been mentioned
anent the single department
Dlan as to whether this small
bureau of the army should best
be combined with that bureau,
where to leave this subdivision
of one service or that one.
Indeed. I personally believe
the n!an is faulty n at least one
detail which places entirely too
much work uoon the proposed
first assistant secretary of the
combined armed services.
But to defeat the integration
program for such reasons is to
stumble over blades of grass
and butt your head into trees.
The details can be worked out.

WALTONIANS HEAR
TALK ON FISH BY
STATE BIOLOGIST
Dr. Paul Needham, state bloll
gist of the Oregon State Game
Commission, addressed a meeting
of the Jackson County chapter
of the Izaak Walton league in the
Medford Hotel Tuesday evening.
Dr. Needham, until first of the
year in the employ of the Na
tional Fish and Wild Life Serv
ice, told of experience of the gov
ernment in its endeavor to salv
age the migratory fish runs in
rivers where high dams have
been constructed in recent years.
He pointed out many disappoint
ing failures in spite of the ex
penditure of millions of dollars
by government agencies in
charge of dam construction.
The matter of tributary stream
storage run-off water being re
sorted to as an alternate to using
the main streams of rivers for
storage was also explained. Dr.
Needham stated that construction
of one dam projected for lower
Rogue river, apparently for de
velopment of power, would def
initely eliminate any future
anadromous fish from Rogue
river for all time.
During his stay in southern
Oregon Dr. Needham, assisted by
Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, also
with the State Game Commis
sion, is making a survey of fish
life in Rogue river and compil
ing data for use by the United
States Engineers and the Biologi
cal Service.
Several reels of moving pic
tures were shown and refresh
ments served at conclusion of the
meeting.

Sweater Girl To Be Replaced With
Emphasis On Hips. Fashion Decrees
By Claira Cox
United Press Correspondent
Chicago, Oct. 18 (U.R) The
glamour girls will have to start
"oomphasizing" their hips in
stead of their sweaters if they
want to fit into the newest mold
of fashion's dictators, one of the
dictators said today.
"That's the way things are
shaping up for American wom
en," said Ruth Hatfield, fashion
director of the Chicago Fashion
Industries, a trade organization
of men's and women's clothing
manufacturers.
Instead of having "that stark,
clean, unlittered or terse
look," of wartime days, women
are going to have "that look of
released fullness, that rounded
look," both of which definitely
eliminate the sweater girl. Miss
