University President Harmon
Caldwell brought the news from
an Atlanta conference between
Georgia selective service officials
and heads of private and state
supported colleges. Simmered
down, he said, the draft execu-
tives told him:
If the university system speed
ed up academic work to grad

Juniors through a summer
schedule to graduate then Jan.

look favorably upon allowing
such juniors to finish school.

Georgia, along with the entire
state-supported system, goes i'm

President Caldwell made no
mention of All-America Sink

the loss of Bill Hartman didn't
cause a CULVER. Wally just an
nounced he'd take on the job
himself.
Unless Georgia selective serv-
ice officials change their col

has just been a series of aches
and pains to Gehringer.
LIFETIME MARK
His back began to trouble him
and it took him longer to get in
to condition. The strain of years
of fielding an amazing amount of
territory began to take its toll.
Finally, his batting eye dimmed.
Last year his average at the plate
fell to .220 as compared to a
time mark of 1921.
Last week the Detroit man.
agement, in announcing the 1912
roster, omitted Gehringer's
name, but left the way open for
him to remain as coach. Yester-
day Gehringer, as he has done
for years past, was the first to
sign a contract, accepting the
clubs offer.
Asked recently if he would
miss playing, Gehringer replied:
II don't think l will. But I'll
miss getting into good physical
condition in the Spring, for l
have become accustomed to
that"
TIGER SINCE 1926
Gehringer, who will. be 80
years old May IL, became Tig-
err regular in 1925. In 2,278 Big
League games, he went to bat
1913 times, getting 1927 hits,
scoring l,767 runs and batting in
another APO. His hits included
STA doubles, 146 triples and 1873
home runs.
In 1897, when he led the Am
erican League in batting with
81, he was voted the loops
most valuable player. He made
the most single-game putouts by
a second baseman-11-on Aug.
S, 1929, and led the league in
stolen bases, hits, triples and
runs in 1929 and in runs and
hits in 1884.
Gehringer played in three
world series, batting 1921. and
played in six all-star games,
batting 500 and fielding flaw
lessly.
Two youngsters, Jimmy
Bloodworth, acquired from
Washington, and L m b e r t
(Dutch) Meyer will vie for the
Job Gehringer held so long.

Games in the city cage loop
went off according to schedule
last night, the only hitch COM
ing in the Business Men-Tiger1
contest, when the Bengals cut
down their foe to a 21-13 win
in a game which was slated to
be lop-sided.
Paganetti's, only undefeated
team in the loop, continued its
victory march without difficulty
notching an easy 48-1a victory
over the Bombers to more than
continue their Appoints a game
pace.
The Super-Cleaners had no
difficulty in dumping the Mer-
chants, 25-10 while Gray's took
the measure of the M. c. A. c.,
23-14.
Top scorer of the evening was
Dottie Macdonald, guard on
Paganetti's, who hoped 10 points
all of them on field goals to
pace his team to victory. He
sanks eight of the goals during
the first half, a majority on
short rebounds. Ralph Soenen,
center for the same team, re.
gained the loop scoring lead by
two-point margin as he top
ped his team mate, John Vel
kenant by three points with q
14-point total.
Top man for the Bombers was
forward Bud Boyd, who had six
points.
CLEANERS USE FULL SQUAD
Using their entire squad free
ly, the Cleaners-tied in second
place with the Business Men
bumped the Merchants, 25-6, as
center Russ Babe scored eight
points. Larry Steeh was tops
for the losers with four points.
The powerful Business Men
had a brief scare as the Tigers,
who won their first game last
week, held them to a 8-6 lead
at the half and a 21-13 victory.
Bob Bobcean, dropping in five
field goals, led the winners
while Bernard Shields, with six
points, topped the losers.
Final game of the evening at
the Mount Clemens gym saw the
M. c. A. c. team score their
high total of the year as they
ran up Ia points though defeated
by Gray's 23-14. McClain's
10 points for Gray's kept them
ahead while five points by Jim

Former Pacific Coast
 Guard Ship Sinks Sub
 In Atlantic; Is Ranllned

LONDON, Sept. 28.-The former Coast Guard cutter Chelan, which once operated in the Bering Sea, has rammed and sunk an ocean going Italian submarine and pos sibly sent another to the bottom, in a recent Atlantic bout.
 The Chelan was renamed the Lulworth when it joined the British Navy
 The singlehanded feat, as told by the Admiralty, said the submarine Pietro Calvi was sighted and crash dived, and was then forced back to the surface by the cutters depth bombs.
 The Lulworth's gunners scored direct hits with shellfire. killing the commander and most of the gum crew, then rammed the sub, dump ing the crew into the sea. The sub sank before a boarding crew ar rived.
 When second sub surfaced near by, it was hit by shellfire before 1t could dive, then crash dived and was not seen again. It was im- possible to ascertain whether or not it was sunk. Thirty-five survivors were taken from the Calvi.

WAR CARRIED. STRAIGHT TO. 0URENEMIES.
Fordys are More Than 0b- jett Lesson; Axis Sup
 porfers are Hif
(sY ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Long range American bombers, packing up to four tons of bombs each, in the past two weeks have carried the war straight to the capitals of every Balkan nation now at war with the United States.
 The Balkan nations, whose capi- tals have been bombed, include Croatia, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria.
 Allied authorities have not re- vealed the bases of the bombers but the bases are so located that the range will permit operations either to middle east Europe or aid to Russia.
 The nationality of the crews is not revealed but it is probably not wrong to assume that American fliers are participating along with the British and Russians in the bombing raids.
 Accounts of sharply increased German and Italian troop move ments over the railroads of the Balkan nations now warning against the United States indicate the bomber forays are more than an object lesson to Balkan govern ments.

 SINKINGS
 ARE FEWER
Less Ships Lost : Marine Insurance Rates
 Going Down

The announced sinkings in the Western Atlantic since Pearl Har- bor stood at ATT today, according to the Associated Press count.
 Only five merchantmen were sunk last week, the smallest over a seven-day period since America en- tered the war.
 The smaller number of sinkings was reflected in a reduction of marine insurance rates for Atlantic coast shipping from $l5 to $12.5O on each $100 worth of caroo.
 Underwriters credited the reduced rates to the new and improved methods of conveying and other protective measures" including the rapid expansion of the Coast Guard and it's use in escorting conveys.
