trapped in an area 60 miles square.
The only escape left for the
thousands OF Chinese regulars and
guerrillas was to slip through the
lines Of the Japanese mopup Of

Sea in junks and sampans.
Since occupation of Haichow last

that in the Yangtze Valley.
Bitter Fight Along Highway.
The Chinese said they inflicted
1000 casualties before they with
drew from Paoying, on the Grand
Canal 1876 miles northwest of Shang-
hal.
Today they were engaged in q
bitter struggle along the Haichow-
Shuyang highway. The fierceness Of
the Chinese resistance was Illus
trated by reports from Haichow that
the japanese had to fight fires there
for three days after they took con-
troll.
War reports from the deep inte-
rior told of a successful Chinese
counter attack along the Han River
in Hopeh Province and of a re-

The Y Colonials easily set back the fighting Cadet boys 29-18 in the other game played.

Sparks From The Power League
BY OMAR

Instead of the usual current events of the league, we place be- fore you the individual averages of the Power League pin busters.
 In first place we find irrepressible Fred Drummond followed closely by Frank Byrnes, debonair foreman of the Meter Dept. Ray O'Neil is tied with Frank but he has rolled fewer games. However, we are issuing a warning to all these bowlers to watch out for the champion of last year who is out to defend his laurels, John "Tippy" Moriarty, the mayor of Bunker Hill. John has been coming along like the Yankee Clipper of late.
 These averages will be used for the next four weeks of bowling and if you think there is a mistake in your average, make the secretary of the leagues weight and nell take you on for a bout-verbal.
