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.

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.
