SPORTS Huskies Have Stop Shaw Objective By ELDON BARRETT : Seattle, Wash. 0J.R) Coach Johnny Cherberg has instituted a "stop Shaw" movement among his University oi Washington football players. , The fellow he. wants to halt il George Shaw, high-flying quarterback on the University of Oregon team which meets Cher berg's Huskies here Saturday, starting at 2 p.m? It is quite understandable that Cherberg has initiated this bat ' tie cry for his lads. Shaw, a senior from Portland, leads the nation in total offense with 1048 yards of which 885 came via passes. Passing happens to be Wash ington's prime mode of offense and its success or failure with the Huskies depends on quar terback Bobby Cox. Consequent ly, it would be safe for Cher berg to assume that the Oregon war whoop will be stop Cox. Washington also is going to have its hands full with a 208 pound fullback named Jasper McGee . and halfback Dick James, v y ' :'s Washington lost a heart-breaker to Stanford last Saturday. The score was 13-7, but accord ing to Seattle Times sports writ er George Varnell an unnamed Washington official said .movies of the game show that the Husk ies scored another touchdown, only to ha.ve the ball "stolen" in a pileup in the end zone. Varnell, veteran football re porter, quoted the official as saying the ball was "pulled from Bob'punn's hands by a Stanford player wearing No, 44. A check of the program lists that number to halfback Gordon A.- Young. Members of the coaching staff here refused to comment on the disputed play. 1 Officials ruled the ball to be a fumble.'

General Motors Shows Second Best Earnings New York (U.R) A sharp cut in taxes enabled General Motors Corp. to chalk up the second best nine-month earnings in its history despite a decline in sales. The nation's largest auto maker reported yesterday Its net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, swelled to $584, 918,125, or $0.08 a common share, from 8452,708,196, or 55.08 a share a year ago. GM's record earnings year was 1950. Sales for the first three quar ters, however, dipped to $7,219,- 169,633 from $7,931,026,579 in the like period of 1953 the rec ord breaking year for sales. Is That So? Mall Call ."Can monkeys swim naturally?" ' i J - , , "Does electricity make tele graph wires hum?" asks J. R. . "What in the world do mos quitoes eat at a mountain lake before I come around?" in quires P.R.O. "My misguided friend says an imals' teeth keep growing throughout their lifetime. Your answer ought to pay me u por terhouse steak dinner," states Mosquito b It i Mosquitoes work over both birds and mam mals when humans are not around to furnish them with des sert! '. " Incidentally, P.R.O., It's only the female that is equipped to puncture the skin (not bite it) and suck blood, apparently to enable her to develop eggs. As for the male, his mouth is rudi mentary and he could not bite no matter, how- hard he tried. He's strictly a vegetarian, eating juices of plants and fruits. ' It's the, female, too, that "sings ' by vibrating' .thin hard projections that lie ' across her breathing pores. By the way have you ever no ticed the hordes of mosquitoes which sometimes come swarm ing around a piece of outdoor electrical apparatus? The whin ing hum of the thing apparently summons them to a giant clam bake. ' Monkey Swlmi As for swim ming, monkeys differ little from many other animals. Although some tend to shun water, there are others that learn to swim and even to dive. Some African monkeys, in particular, are fond of playing in water and have been seen to swim across streams of considerable current and Width. Teeth Growing) This is a com plicated question. Some ani mals' teeth keep growing throughout their lifetime, others do not. To begin with, most animals have two sets of highly differ entiated teeth, the temporary milk teeth of infancy, and the so-called permanent teeth which also, unfortunately, may fall out. Roots of Teeth Close In man and many other mam mals, the roots of the teeth close after the permanent teeth have attained a certain size growing larger' for males, usually, than for females. Once the roots are closed, growth ceases. But in several animals, including beav ers, rabbits, gophers, walruses, elephants, and wild boars, some of the teeth roots remain open, new material is added, and the teeth continue to grow through out their lifetime. . ' With rabbits, the incisors may grow up to 20 inches a year, a gopher's twice as fast, 40 inches a year. The Inside of the teeth is soft and wears away faster while the outside is hard, and wears away more slowly, thus giving the teeth a constantly sharpened, chisel-like cutting edge. ' This continuous growth Is necessary for the gnawers be cause it prevents their teeth from being entirely worn away by their ceaseless gnawing. Oc casionally, however, one of the teeth may break , or grow out crooked and then it will con tinue to grow out the lower ones sometimes curving over the snout or the head and eventually making it impossible for the an imal to open its mouth; or even growing through the upper jaw and penetrating the brain. Product of Wind Telegraph Muslct The mourn ful humming noise is a product of the wind, not electricity. It is produced by vibration, some what as the strings of a violin are set into vibration by a bow. Any jar may make the wires hum, although the hum is ordi- 1 By lugene Bums Ranger-Naturalist I Wednesday, October 2?, 1954 MEDFORD (ORECJCN) MAIL TRIBUNE NIHE , narlly due to the wind. Tele graph and telephone wires have natural frequencies of vibrations like piano strings, some being too low to be audible. Some times several of the frequencies are set up at the same time and produce harmonies. The inten sity depends on the direction and velocity of the wind, the tight ness of the wires, and the dis tance between the poles.
