West Point, N. Y., Nov. 27
U.R) Coach Earl Blaik, who
took his army football team be
hind closed doors for yesterday's
drill, said the Cadets would
scrimmage today In preparation
for the Navy game at Philadel
phia Saturday.
Blaik was more concerned
with his team's morale than with
its physical shape. All the Army
players were reported in top
physical trim.
The recurrent rumors of cost
season games apparently had
little effect on the Army players.
The academy officials never
have officially admitted Bowl
invitations, and said they knew
nothing of a 'reported plan to
play the Fleet City Bluejackets,
regarded as the best of service
teams, in California in late De
cember. Blaik said his team was dis
appointed at collapse of the Hose
Bowl dream, but that the dis
appointment did not affect their
play.
Annapolis, Md., Nov. 27 (UP.)
Coach Oscar Hagberg scheduled
another heavy scrimmage for his
Navy football team today.
Navy, with Charley Kiser in
for Newbold Smith at left tackle
and Bob Kelly moved from half
back to substitute fullback,
scrimmaged for two hours yester
day. Hagberg said the Middies
were in top condition for the
coming game with Army. Only
Fullback Bob Jenkins was handi
capped by a leg injury, and Joe
Bartos will start, Hagberg said.
Lighter contact drill will be
in order tomorrow, Hagberg said,
as the Middies taper off their
two weeks of practice for their
biggest game of the season.
Closing time for Sunday Too Late
to Classify 4:00 Saturday afternoon

liams, Ashland.

fullback, and Darrell Riggs,
classed as one of the best ends
in the state, were the only unan
imous choices, each polling 16
votes. Watson was named cap
tain of the first team.
Each first team vote counted
two points and each second
team ballot brought one point,

ing. It is necessary for a player
to get at least two votes to be
considered for honorable men
tion. .

The real "take-home"
If wages go up and output does not living
costs rise. Then a man may be no better off
than he was in the first place.
As at matter of fact, he may bt worst off.
Because that's the start of the inflation
spiral with its mounting cyclone of con
fusion. And once the spiral starts, prices
usually keep two jumps ahead of wages.
It doesn't help to have $2 to spend instead of
$1, if eggs go to $1, then $1.50, then $2 a
dozen and butter and bread and shoes and
shirts double, then triple, in price.
That's the trouble with the theory that you
can increase buying power simply by raising
wages.
The most important thing Isn't what a man
makes In wages per week
The most important thing is how much hi
can buy with the wages he makes.
The "take-home" that really counts isn't what
you take home in pay, but what you can take
home from the store!

Bear Complimented
Simpson commented that Ed
Beare, Ashland halfback, caused
Medford more trouble than any
backfield man the Tornado
faced in the conference but
Beare did not poll enough votes
to place. He is a sophomore and
classed as a definite comer
by Simpson. Acklen also noted
on his ballot that Beare was
hard to overlook but did not
cast a vote for him.
As has been customary In the
past, players will receive award
cards designating their selec
tion.

CADETS SOUGHT
E
San Francisco, Nov. 27 !U.P.)
Competition continued today be
tween the San Francisco and Los
Angeles areas over selection of
a stadium for a war bond game
which Army's undefeated
team has been asked to meet the
local undefeated Fleet City Blue
jackets.
The Football Writers' associa
tion of Northern California peti
tioned Commodore O. M. Forster,
commander of Camp Shoemaker,
the Bluejackets base, to bring
the game to a stadium near the
bay. The date probably would
be Dec. 26, as the Cadets can
travel only during the Christmas
holidays.
Cmdr. Billy Rcinhart, coach
of the Bluejackets, disclosed
plans for the game when he an
nounced yesterday he had re
ceived a request from the Los
Angeles War Bond committee to
match his team against the
Cadets in the 100,000-seat Los
Angeles Coliseum.
Eighty-five million people
can't be wrong. That many
Americans now hold war bonds.
The same number should buy
Victory Loan bonds to Insure
the peace. Buy early and often.

M HIS new Army Retirement Plan doesn't
cost me a penny, and yet I can retire after
20 years of service with a good monthly
income aj long as I live. And remember
III still be under 401
"Why, if I wanted to PAY for a plan
that would give me the same retirement
income that I will get as a Master Ser
geant, it would take just about 84 out of
my pay envelope every month.
"And think what it will mean to us.
We'll be able to do the things most people
can never afford to do. Travel. Go places.
Do things. But most important, we'll
have financial security.
"In the meantime, I'll have a good job
in the Army that will pay me well. I'll be
getting tine training in .a good trade.
You'll get a family allowance, too.

Army man?"
