BURSTS FAR BEHIND
AS sOcn as our formation of
B-25's reached the battle area,
there were flashes from the ack-
ack guns but the shells burst far
behind.
Looking back, there was long
column of smoke, like that from a
railroad train, and five or six large
fires started by our bombs
We didn't know we had been hit
until we got back to the airfield
and a ground crew member found
a hole an inch long in Minni2's
right wing. Shc was the only
plane that had been touched.

themselves today and our bomberS
hammered them every Is minutes
without encountering much ground
fire and little aerial opposition.
Our formation saw cnly three
Messerschmitts which which flew
high above us, apparently not
wanting a fight. They followed us
all the way back to our field, but
stayed at 10000 feet. The enemy

CAIRO, Oct. 30. CUP)-The I'M
perial 9Th army drove forward to-
day ovtr a desert battle-ground
strewn with the wreckage of burned
-out axis tanks, consolidating posi-
ions under a barrage of British ar
tillery fire and continuous UNI
brella of Allied aircraft.
Reports from the fighting front
said that every Nazi attempt tC
counterattack has been repulsed and
the eighth army had taken a firm
grasp on the entire break-through
area which has been cheWed out of
Marshal Erwin Rommels strong AL
amein defenseS.
The Germans were reported to be
fighting grimly but to be falling back
under the crushing weight of Allied
tanks, artillery fire, and air super
,ority.
ARTILLERY ADVANCES
The British artillery was lnchine
forward as the infantry and tanks
cleared a path for the advance.
Some of the batteries had been
in almost constant action for five
days.
The Royal air force bagged at
least seven planes yesterday, in
cluding four fighters, two Heinkel
Ills and one Junkers 86. The RAF
also attacked a train of six cars,
blasting it to wreckage.
Four axis efforts to break through
20 raid Malta were driven off be-
fore the planes reached the island
Fighting continued on the desert
front with a slight increase in enc
my air activity to meet the paralyz-
ing night and day sweeps of Allied
planes, led by United States air
force units.
AIRDROME BLASTED
The communique, issued jointly
by the British Middle East command
and the ROYAL air force, reported
a particularly successful" Allied
raid on an axis air field near Ma
truh, where three large planes were
destroyed aground and several 9TH
erS damaged.
Front dispatches indicated that
the ground fighting was heaviest in
the northern, or coastal sector of
the 40-milc front, where Scottish
Highlanders and Australians were
spearhcading a drive ccntered on
Tel Ell Elsa Cthc Hill of JeSuS)
The success of the battle was in

of Stalingrad about 10 days ago, and
in the first six days drove them be-

southern outskirts, killing 1000 and
destroying 160 tanks.
ADVANCE RESUMED
The Russians had paused to con-
solidate positions won in the first
phases of the drive, and now were
pushing on again in an effort to
draw some of the pressure away from
northern Stalingrad.
Soviet forces were preparing to
storm the village into whose out
skirts they had driven, and which
they held against all counterattacks.
Fighting with their backs to the
Volga, the defenders of Stalingrad
have beaten back every attack
against an industrial section in the
northern part of Stalingrad, and
destroyed 16 German tanks, the
Soviet noon communique said.
In the Stalingrad area, there
was fierce fighting" it asserted.
"A German battalion 1000 mem

The Germans have made three
slight gains-one yesterday of so
to 100 yardS-during the last Scv-
eral days in the industrial district.
While none was serious in itself,
the aggregate was serious threat
to the outnumbered defenders.
Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's re-

UIine Seeks Hearinu
By Commissioners
On Arena Case
Owners Place in Boxing
Must Be Cleared Up
To Settle Dispute

Mike Uline's attorney has re-
quested a hearing by the District
Commissioners to iron out the arena
operators little difficulty with the
city's Boxing Commission and un-
doubtedly it will be granted There
is one point which must be cleared
up, however, before the entire mat
ter can be adjusted properly, and
that is Uline's place in boxing.
The affair goes back to last week
when Goldie Ahearn, promoter for
the Liberty Athletic Club, decided
TO lower prices for club show. The
commission didn't like the idea, but
finally consented. Then the gov
erning body ruled he couldn't sell
seats placed on planks around the
ringside because it was harmful to
the public health. Seats were on
the ice the night Of the show and
Commissioners Thomas P. Morgan,
jr., and John J. Agnew refused to
permit the doors to open until they
had been removed.
The question now arises whether
Uline is identified actively with the
Liberty Club or merely rents his
arena for each particular boxing
show He has a point in arguing
the ice problem because if seats
can't be sold on the rink proper the
arena loses most Of its value as a
setting for fights. But Uline.
through his attorney, seems to 60
further in suggesting 7-point re-
form which includes a stipulation
regarding free passes for the boxing
commission, assignment of dates
among rival promoters and other
items.
Ahearn already has entered suit
against the commission as a body
and severally for the recovery of
damages amounting to s106. 08
and Uline has indicated he may
follow the same course if the dis
pute cannot be ironed out by the
District Commissioners.

Offense of Irish
Is Helped by T

Any doubts about the effec-
tiveness of the T formation
adopted by Coach Frank Leahy
of Notre Dame were dispelled by
the 1912 statistics.
The Irish not only won seven,
lost two and tied two during the
course of undoubtedly the hard
est schedule ever played by Notre
Dame. but averaged 437 yards
in every running play. as COM
pared with 319 in l941.
Angelo Bertelli, junior quar-
terback, made 1,039 yards on 70
competitions out of 1862 attempted
passes, as compared with 1,O27
on 10 out of 1913 in 1941. His per-
centage drop from .569 to .444
was more than offset by the de-
ception that aided the Irish to
2.2lly yards on the ground, as
compared with 1882 in 1941.
