India Army Recruits
$4,000 Men a Month
Despite PacifiSt Stand
Natives Unaffected
By Congress Vote Flock
To Defend Country
Bv BLAIR BOLLES.

With the japanese at the gates
of India, army enlistments in that
United Nations Asiatic stronghold
have mounted to the rate Of $4,000
a month, the most that the Indian
military machine can assimilate,
word reaching the Office of the In
dian Agent General here today dis
closed.
The applications from Indians for
admission to the army are now at
the high point of 1000 a month,
but half of them are turned away
because the authorities find 1t i'm
possible to clothe and equip that
many recruits every 80 days.
The Indian Army now exceeds
100000. This stream of natives
into the armed forces flows on de-
spite the resolution of the All-India
Congress for non-violent non-c CO.
operation, a resolution opposed to
military resistance of the japanese.
Won't Aid the Invader.
On closer view here this reSolu-
ton has come to be regarded as
little more than a formal statement
of the position that has been taken
by the civilians of almost all coun-
tries invaded by Axis armies. The
Indians who observe the resolution
are committed to giving no aid to
the prospective invader Effective
ness Of civilian opposition to armies
in other quarters has been slight
Washington officials read the dip
lomatic and military dispatches
from India closely because, while
the country is far distant. its fate
is closely linked to the prospect of
American arms and supplies in
other distant but vital sectors
Egypt, Iraq, Iran and even Australia.
So the news of widespread In
dian eagerness to tight is welcomed
here. There is some feeling that
the plans for India's military
strength should have been broader,
because India is a large country
whose defense requires forces to be
posted at widely separated stations

Even with the japanese appar-

India must keep an army on the

and Ghurkas - men from fighting

KEY WEST, Fla, May 9.--A 49,
year-old radio operator just out of
his first voyage, and his captain, a
veteran of the sea, were the heroes
today of two United States merchant
ship sinkings in the Caribbean that
cost the lives of SIS men.
Fourteen men survived the two
sinkings, made public yesterday by
the Navy.
Kenneth Morgan, l9, of Princeton,
KY, was the radio operator. When
his ship was torpedoed and burst
into flames he stuck to his wireless
key. sending the S o S signal re-
peatedly until he was overcome by
fumes.
At the risk of his own life, Capt.
Walter Reed of Oaklyn, N. j., went
to find the lad and carried him to
a lifeboat. Then, fighting his way
: back aboard the damaged vessel,
sthe captain found Raymond Limpo,
smess boy from Manila, who was
wandering directly into the flames
! as the smoke obscured his vision. He,
too, was led to the lifeboat.
The captain and his crew, just
three hours earlier, had heard the
blast that ignited the other mer-
chairman, and had zig-zagged in
the early dusk in vain attempt
to escape. Capt. Reed unsure
whether he had been sighted, never
theless broadcast a general radio
warning.
From the other ship, the four
men who survived told how Preston
Carpenter, 26, fireman from Beau
mont, Tex, saved the life of a fel-
low Texas, Ralph Harris, able-bod-
led seaman from Port Arthur, by
supporting him in the water for
more than three hours. Harris had
suffered first-degree burns and was
near collapse.
Carpenter reported that there
were two German submarines, and
that both machine -gunned crew
members who fled to the forecastle

Soviet in Midst
Of Big Offensive
Against Germans

LONDON, Nov. 23.-(U.PJ-Au-
thoritative British sources said to-
day that the British government
has received word from Russia that
the Red army offensive already is
a major drive of proportions which
promise a grim winter for Nazis.
The information was described as
encouraging
An observer pointed out that the
Axis had been defeated in its hope
of winning an almost impregnable
position in Europe from the Medit-
erranean to the Black sea and at
tributed this in great part to ex-
tremely heavy German armored
losses in Russia.
The 18th and 21st panzer divis-
ions have, to all intentS, been ami
hilated except for a few lucky frag-
mentS. The 18th and 23rd diyiS-
ions were decimated in the battle of
Ordzhonikid2c i'll the foothills of
the Caucasus mountains. Three
more divisions suffered extremely
heavy casualties in the latest Rus
Sian drive at Stalingrad.
REDS GET TANKS
While the Red army has been
destroying German armored
strength British and American
tanks have been pouring into Rus
sia. Britain alone, it is estimated,
has provided the equivalent of 20
divisions in the last year and a
half.
These tanks have played a bic
role in the opening of the Soviet
offensive in the last few days-an
offensive which has painted new
details into the gloomy Axis pic

Instead of playing floor areas expounded by Phog Allen, Law ther's Nittany Lions play that area in which there is an offensive threat. These areas change as the offensive threat changes with the movement of the ball, hence the term sliding zone.
 As successful head of the edu- cation and psychology department at Westminster, Lawther decided to abandon coaching following the 1886 season, but was lured back to the fold by an attractive offer from Penn State.
 LEANS TO TALL BOYS
 Almost completely rebuilding his team last season, Lawther turned in his best job, losing only to Cornell and West Virginia in the first half and then winning 12 straight, including a 44-30 revenge victory over West Virginia's Na- tional Invitation Tournament cham pions.
 Penn States Lions represented District No. 2 in the NCAA tour. ney in New Orleans, where the sharp Dartmouth team dropped them in the first game, but came back to trim Illinois, the Big Ten champion, in the consolation.
 Lawther leans to tall boys, but gets the most out of what he has.
 John Lawther is a learned man who turns out smart basketball teams.

 State College, Pa, Dec. 18.-Few basketball coaches can become pro- fessors of psychology, and fewer professors of psychology, and fewer professors of psychology can become cage teachers, but John Lawther of Pennsylvania State College 'has un- dergone the transition three times very skillfully.
 With a mind attuned to con- structive thought and theory by formal education, Lawther has contributed materially to the game in IS years of tutoring at Vest minister College and Penn State, His success is witnessed by his record of 250 games won and 73 lost.
 Although he owns a master of arts degree in educational psy- chology conferred at Columbia University, the scholarly pro- ponent of the sliding zone de- fense would rather coach for the very sensible reason that 1t pays more money than teaching Stud- ents about reactions.
 BALL DETERMINES AREA
 A protege of Fuss McLaughry at Westminster, where he starred in all sports, Lawther did much to develop the sliding zone after his experience with the old man-for- man defense, and the orthodox zone as taught by Dr. Forrest c. Allen, the veteran KanSan,

E's came up with Detroit, was released as free agent when Judge Kenesaw M. Landis ordered hous- claning of the Tiger farm system, and signed with Brooklyn for $25,- 900.
 Later he went to the St. Louis Browns and then to Washington. The Tanks obtained him after Tommy Henrick joined the Coast Guard. A switch hitter, he batted .s76 in 123 games last year. He is 20.

 Rosar, 27, came up to the Yanks from their Newark farm club in 1889. A right-handed hitter, he bat ted .230 in 6o games last season. Ro- sar got in the clubs bad graces in mid d-summer when, with regular catcher Bill Dickey sidsslined by in- juries, he jumped the club to take Q police civil service examination in Buffalo. He failed to pass the test.

New York, Dec. le.-Weill. I see that Gerry Nugent is in the midst of his annual rebuilding program with the Phillies-Rube Melton to the Brooklyn for $so,000 and Johnny Allen.
 National League owners recently spent days discussing ways and means of helping Owner Nugent out of his plight.
 The Melton deal, in which one of the betters pitchers switches from the tail-enders to the second strong est club in the circuit, was sanc- toned by the entire league and Commissioner Landis.
 So it must be that the whole league and Judge Landis finally got around to agreeing with Nugent that the only way to do anything in Philadelphia is to do it backward, which at least keep the Phillies looking naturdal.
 Tommy Hughes probably will go the next time Gerry Nugent has to meet an installment of some kind Tor other.
 And can't you just see tempera- mental Johnny Allen giving 1t the old try with the Phillies?
 Lou Nova says he will map his |7istic future following repairs. off, hand, would say that young Tami |Mauriello decided that for him at Madison Square Garden the other might. There simply isn't any fistic future for the stubborn Californian who bobbed up with the dynamic |stance and cosmic punch.
 And, if Nova doesn't hang 'em up, |he Is vesry likely to sustain irrem- 'ediable injuries.
 A chap as bright as Lou Nova out side the ring should know when he |has had enough in 1t. They play basketball in Indiana even when they have to convert the second floor of an old barn into a |court.

The other, and almost defunct method, is pin bowling in which a straight ball is aimed directly at the l-3 pocket with no, or very little, hook.
 Spot bowling is simpler because 1t is easier to put the ball down on a board not more than l2 feet from the foul line.
 A ball released from spot, by virtue of the spin required to make 1t break. mixes with the pins to a greater extent.
 The spot will be recognized by the bowling after he has tried the alley with a few rolls. It may be distinguished by the light or dark shade of the wood. It should be no farther than eight or nine inches from the gutter.
 Look at the spot when you take your stance and follow it througuh after releasing the ball.
