Resignation
Of Cherberg
Seattle U.R) The football
picture at the University of
Washington became a bit more
clouded today as the campus
newspaper, the University Daily,
printed an editorial calling for
a new head coach to replace
Johnny Cherberg.
The editorial was written by
Bob Campbell, a ' fraternity
brother of the four Californians
who left the university Monday
for their homes.
Transportation Available -
The editorial said Cherberg
had told players who expressed
dissatisfaction: "If you don't
yant to play football, there are
planes, trains and buses leaving
Seattle in all directions."
Meanwhile, Cherberg has the
assurance that at least 26 mem
bers of the 1955 squad, including
Jj) lettermen, will turn out for
the 1956 team.
Eight other squad members,
Including five lettermen, said
they aren't sure what they'll do.
Thirteen members of the 1955
frosh squad also will turn out.

Relief Pitcher Millard (Dixie)
Howell spent so much time in
bullpens last season that he nev
er even acquired a decent sun
tan, but the grateful Chicago
V(gite Sox made it all up to him
today by giving him a decent
ise.
The 35-year-old right-hander,
whom Manager Marty Marion
labeledQ"the best relief pitcher
in the American league," last
year, earned the "substantial
raise" he was given and then
some.
Brought up from Memphis of
the: Southern association on
June 8, Howell all but took his
meals in the bullpen as he pro
ceeded to relieve in 35 ball
games, winning eight and losing
only three.
In Brooklyn, veteran Jackie
Robinson accepted an estimated
$5,000 pay slash but still will
receive about $33,000 from the
Dodgers.
Mickey Mantle, the Yankees'
switch-hitting center fielder,
also signed for 1956 Tuesday af
ter receiving the raise "I had
counted on." Mantle was hob
bled during the World Series be
cause of a leg injury.

Cortina, Italy ttJ.R) An 11-
man delegation from Squaw Val
ley, Calif., today convinced the
International Olympic commit
tee that the California resort
can successfully stage the 1960
Winter games. -
The IOC awarded the 1960
Winter Olympiad to Squaw Val
ley last summer. But IOC Presi
dent Avery Brundage of Chica
go recently asked the California
Olympic committee to come to
Cortina and prove it could raise
the $5,000,000 necessary to
stage the games.
When the current - meeting
opened several days ago, the
Austrian Olympic committee an
nounced it would try to have the
1960 Winter games moved from
Squaw Valley to Innsbruck.
But after a four-hour session
behind closed doors today, IOC
members emerged with glowing
accounts of a "super perform
ance" by the Californians.
"They've entirely convinced
us," said Switzerland's Albert
Mayer, an influential European
member of ' the committee. "It
was a super performance."
Meanwhile, anxious Italian of
ficials prayed for badly needed
snow for tomorrow's opening of
the seventh Winter games.
Pray for Snow
The symbolic Olympic flame
was due to arrive in the Cortina
area late today on the last leg
of its journey from Rome but
the Italian officials would al
most rather settle for snow.
Nearly three weeks have gone
by since the last real snowfall.
And there was no hint of ap
proaching snow in the clear
skies that looked down today on
Ice-glazed, rock - littered down-

Is That
If you were to meet a mam
mal face to face, how could you
be sure it is not an insect, fish,
bird, or reptile. Here's the top
off: Mammals are unique in that
they possess three things which
all other animals do not have
they possess true hairs (with the
exceptions of a couple of whal
es); all produce milk in their
bodies with which to feed their
young and all have a four-chambered
heart.
One group, the monotremes
1-25-56
including the duck-billed platy
pus and spiny anteaters of Aus
tralia lay eggs the only mam
mals to do so, but they, too, con
form to these three mammalian
characteristics. '
In addition, all mammals
breathe air, have warm blood,
and vertebrated backbones. But
these three qualities they share
with other groups of animals:
for example, birds share all of
these; reptiles and amphibians
also breathe air, though the lat
ter do so only in their adult stag
es; and fish, too, have vertebrat
ed backbones.
Perhaps the most outstanding
feature of mammals is their ex
traordinary range of size, form
and habits:
For size, they range from the
tiny shrew that just counterbal
ances a worn dime to the blue
whale, greatest of all living or
dead animals, which has been
measured at 119 feet in length
and can weigh as much as 340,-
000 pounds.
May Be Fishlike
In their extraordinary form,
they may be fishlike like the
whales, birdlike like the bats;
lizardlike like certain tiny mar
supial mice; froglike like kan
garoos; tortoislike like arma
dillos; and with forms that defy
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
comparison such as the pango
lin and anteater.
And in habit, because of their
warm blood and their extremely
efficient mechanism both in
broiling heat or freezing cold
and their varied methods of in
sulating their bodies, mammals
have been found throughout the
earth, in the air above it, under
its surface and in the rivers, lak
es and seas and oceans as well
as in waterless deserts and froz
en icecaps. (Everywhere but the
Antarctic.) What adaptation!
Perhaps the only other group of
animals more widely distributed
than the mammal is the cold
blooded spider and its close rela
tives. For that matter in adaptability
to climate, don't underestimate
man himself. Even without all
his artificial aids, he can with
stand tremendous variations.
Without clothes or houses, the
natives of Tierra del Fuego have
survived; and naked men have
lived through temperatures far
above that of the hottest desert
in full sunlight!
