10000 PLANTS IN
GARDEN OF EDEN" SCENE

In pre-war days Hollywood studios
would think nothing of sending a
camera crew to Bali, Java, Singa-
pore or to South America for scenes
of tropical backgrounds: Now it's diff
ferent.
Universal technicians accomplished
miracles in constructing a tropical
jungle set right on the sound stage
for Abbott and Costello's newest south
sea island picture, pardon My
Sarong," playing at the State this
weekend.
More than 10000 plants We're used
to create what resembled a reasonable
facsimile of the Garden of Eden. Best
part about the whole idea Is that
light and sound conditions can be
controlled on sound stage. It's even
cheaper now than seeking locations
within driving distance of the studio.
Think of the saving on tires alone.
Supporting Abbott and Costello IN
the picture are Virginia Bruce, Robert
Paige, Left Erickson, Lionel Atwill,
Nan Wynn, Tip, Tap and Toe Dancers,
The Four Ink Spots, and the Sarong
Dancing Girls.

Tuesday only in "United We Stand"
2Oth Century -Fox's full length motion
picture of the rise of the Axis and the

the United Nations.
The film abounds in thrilling and

the invasion of Ethiopia, the overrun-

There are scenes to make the spine

ELY INvADES INT'L FALLS
FOR FOREIGN field NIlN-TRY
Three Attempts on Memorial
Cridiron Fail as Golden
Bears Win, 1910.

Unsuccessful in three attempts to
win on the home gridiron, Memorial
highs football team will try to turn
the trick on a foreign field when it
plays at international Falls Friday
night.
Virginia, which won over Ely 1870,
scored a 14-0 victory at the expense
of the Falls. The Border City played
Gilbert to scoreleSs tie.
Two years ago the Red and White
won its first game on the Interna-
tional Falls field, 1876, while last year
the Ely crew went down to defeat,
TO, on the local gridiron.
Last weeks 1870 drubbing at the
hands of the powerful Eveleth club
proved costly to Ely in more ways
than one. Quarterback Tom Murn
suffered a fractured ankle in the first
serious football injury here for some
time and will be out for the season.
The Eveleth backs, fast and shifty,
were too much for the Red and White.
The Golden Bears pushed over their
initial score in the opening quarter
starting from the Ely 30-yard line. A
pass over the center of the line good
for z yards and triple reverse which
picked up IA more set the ball up for
the marker Rannikar carried it over
The visitors scored again in the
second period, but only after they had
marched to the 1-yard line where
William Rowe picked up a tumble for
Ely. The Red and White punted out
on the A, and then a 24-yard end run
by Coldagelli and a 20-yard pass,
Coldagelli to Yalich, put the ball over.
In the final period Yalich recovered
an Ely tumble 20 yards from the Red
and White goal line to send the Eve
leth club on the way to the final
score of the game. Caruso scampered
wide around end to go over standing
up All of the attempts to convert the
extra points failed.
Ely resorted to an aerial attack in
the final two quarters of the game in
an attempt to score With Matt Ban
ovetz doing the tossing and Jim
Rolando, freshman, and Pat Marko-
vich on the receiving end, the trio
completed six out of ten attempts.

1000 Spectators Brave Rain
to Watch Former Stars
Shine Again.

An intercepted pass in the fourth
quarter and a successful conversion of
the extra point gave the Army" a
TO win over the Navy in their VFW
newspaper fund benefit football game
in the Ely schools stadium Sunday
night.
A crowd of about 1000 spectators,
their enthusiasm undampened by a
drizzling rain that fell during the
contest, watched the two clubs battle,
scoreless, until the Army got its
break during the first part of the
fourth quarter.
Behind and with the playing time
rapidly running out, the Navy" team
had a golden opportunity to tie up
the count in the final minute, but
lost the ball to the Army on a
fumbled lateral pass.
Here's what happened during the
thrill-packed (and rain-soaked) final
IL minutes:
The "Navy" had the ball on their
own 45-yard line, and Garfield Mich
olas faded back for pass which went
far to the side of the field. Carlo
Colombo, "Army" back, canning up
fast, snagged the ball and raced As
yards along the sidelines, crossing the
goal line standing up. Back Ed Gra-
hex of the Army" went wide around
end to score the extra point.
While this aerial shot went astray
for the "BluejacketS," not so with an
other in the closing minute of the
contest.
Back Nicholas, with the ball on his
own 40, spotted a beauty to Back
Merlin Thompson, who galloped down
the sideline with a brace of Army
tacklers crowding him toward the
out-of-bounds stripe. Thompson got to
the "Cadet" 35, where he attempted
to lateral to End Joe Kuzma, but the
wet, slippery ball got away from him
and hit the ground The ball, "alive'
just as tumble, was recovered by &c
Grahek for the Army" and the game
ended few seconds later.
For entertainment and thrills
the game rated along with any played
here in recent years. The former stars
of high school and college, falling
quickly into the spirit that had carried
them to fame in school days, displayed
flashes of offensive and defensive play
that ranked with anything the boys
had turned in during interscholastic
competition.
Clean and hard-fought, with nc
quarter asked or given, the game pro-
duced no injuries other than the usua
number of bruises and bumps.

ELY J. c. Waited UNTIL IT
DIDN'T COUNT TO Whip ITAscA

The Ely junior college football team
didn't even up old scores with Itascs
until it didn't count in the NJCC race
The local club, playing its first cam
paign of the season, bearded the ior
in its den by defeating Itasca, 1876
Friday night at Coleraine.
In 1899, when Ely entered the con-
ference, Itasca defeated the Black ano
Gold, 7-6, in a game that went a long
way toward defeating Ely's bid fo1
the crown that Virginia got via the
back door route after Eveleth also
won over Ely.
In 1910 Ely was forced into a tie
for conference honors due to a To
defeat at the hands of Itasca. In
1941 Itasca won again, 24-14
But in 1912, when Ely is not in the
conference because transportation
difficulties prevented getting in on the
schedule before the campaign was in
augurated, the club turned back this
ancient foe to settle many accounts.
Back Ed Grahek accounted single
handed for the two touchdowns, while
Stanley Mestnik bucked the line for
the extra point.
The first quarter was scoreless. In
the second Grahek got through from
the 10-yard line to count. Mestniks
try for the conversion was good.
A pass, Roy Johnson to Grahek
that went for % yards, scored the
second marker in the third period.
Itasca pushed over its only score of
the game in the final period.

INTERCEPTED FORWARD PASS
GIVES ARMY WIN OVER NAVY

three quarters was near mid-fleld, as
neither team could crack the others
defense to get to pay dirt. The punt
ing of Stanley Mestnik for the "Navy"
and Colombo for the Army" was
exceptional, considering the wetness of
the ball and field, and did much to
keep the pig skin away from the goal
line.
A bad pass to Mestnik on one oc-
casion, with the kicker near his own
goal line, was turned into a 21-yard
hike for a first down in one Of the
best plays of the game. Mestnik
gobbled up the bouncing pig skin,
scampered wide to the side of the
field, and was finally run out OF
bounds just short of crossing the So
yard stripe.
The lineup for the victorious Army
club was Matt Smrekar, Ed Porthan,
Louis Senta, Ed Grahek, John Simon
ick, Carlo Colombo, and Steve Smre-
kar, quarterback, in the backf1eld, and
John Smrekar, Don Prola, Archie

William Edgar Spicer, accountant
with Offices in the Bond Building,
today filed with the Federal Trade
Commission his answer to charges
in two recent .FTC complaints that
he had participated with persons in
two other cities in a system of COM
mercial questionnaires falsely indi-
eating that they were issued by the
United States Government.
In his answer, of more than 10
pages including exhibits. Mr.. Spicer
denied all charges against him.
The accountant, who recently re-
signed as chairman OF a draft board
here, denied that the Trade Com
mission has reason, substantial,
basic or even hypothetical to be-
lieve'i that he had violated the FTC
Act.
His answer further states that
sit cannot reasonably appear in
fairness. law, equity, or justice, to
the commission or any one else, that
proceedings against the respondent
would be in the public interest;
Tor one reason, among others, that
a cursory examination of all his
activities concerning the nature of
the commissions complaint clearly
and without question shows that he
has done nothing against the public
interest"
Other respondents in the same

They are Michael Lipman and Jack
