Dartmouth Shoots For Its Sixth
 Straight Eastern Basketball Title
Four Of Last Winters Top Men Are Back
BY ROBERT MELLACE NEA Service Staff Correspondent

SGNS&AAAAC~NS
 Hanover, Dec.-Speaking of the better basketball schools, hoy. about Dartmouth?
 Ossie Towles' 1943 varsity Is given better -than-eyen chance to capture its sixth straight title and set mark such as the East ern Intercollegiate League has never known before.
 The Big Green has four-fifths of last seasons championship team back and a good supply of newcomers from which to choose the fifth starter and reserve strength.
 George Munroe, the circuits high scorer last trip, is in the snow-cov- cred Hanover hills for his third campaign as forward. MunrUe's 175 points in 12 engagements last winter came only five short of the record established by Dartmouth's remarkable Gus Broberg two sea- sons before.
 GUARD SPOT IS OPEN
 Munroe's running mate at forward is tow-headed Bob flyers, junior who may swipe the offensive show.
 Big Jim Olsen, al-loop center, once more is making his presence felt.
 Stan Skaug, captain, leads the Indians from guard position.
 This leaves only the guard spot vacated by the AZ skipper, Stubby Pearson, to be filled.
 So far, Jim Briggs, who saw considerable reserve duty last season, is the leading contender. Very much in the running, how ever, is freshman Jim Coleman, who explained the Asbury Park High array. Rugged and tireless Mo Monahan, sophomore end in football, has the ability and height to get the ball off the blackboard. MIDWESTERN MATERIAL
 Andy Christensen, a 6-foot 4 center, will allow Olsen more rest than he obtained the last time out. Sophomore Jack Carroll and freshman Jim Brindley are excel lent prospects as forwards in a star-studded squad of 15.
 Dartmouth sticks pretty well to the Ivy League, but this season steps cut in tackling Toledo in Toledo, Wayne in Detroit, Seton Hall at South Orange and Holy Cross at home, which is some thing in the way of evidence that the Green doesn't pick it's spots.
 One explanation for Ossie Cowles' phenomenal success is that Dart mouth attracts talent from the mid- west, whence the coach also halls.
 Whatever the reasons, Dartmouth certainly puts the ball in the basket and pennants on the wall.

Compulsory Service

Agricultural workers will

If obtaining draft deferments
if they remain on farms in
stead of entering war indus
tries, Ell Centro's selective service
board No. 159 announced Wednes-
day.
Although no blanket deferments
are being given to farm laborers,
each application for deferment is
given special attention, said Mrs.
Charlotte Morse, clerk of the board.
Whether the applicant is engaged
in growing essential crops and the
possibility of his replacement are
Two of the things considered when
farm workers ask deferment.
Mrs. Morse said that whether let
tuce shall be considered a war crop
and therefore essential will be de-
termined by the number of acres
planted in Imperial Valley.
In any case, Mrs. Morse indicated,
the farmers will be considered more
vital and given more consideration
in their deferment requests than
the ones that have shelved their
producing capacities and have
entered aircraft factories and ship
yards.
The quota of men to be filled by
the Ell Centre board would remain
the same if the law to reduce the
draft age to 18 is passed, Mrs
Morse said.

But first the americans today
are fighting a battle against native
industrial backyardness, unfavor-

American ingenuity and aggressive
ness are solving many of the criti-
cal problems of disease and sup

Capt George J. Mason, Terre

difficulties Americans have en-
countered here:
"An American safety engineer

CASUALTIES CASUAL
Ladders are constructed of bam-
boo runks tied to rails with quar-
ter-inch native rope. Such things
as toe boards and guard rails are
unknown. If a worker falls Off,
his brother or sister or aunt or
uncle or cousins take his place.
after one year of construction
experience in India, an American
engineer could build the Panama
canal in five days with a power

There are no power shovels, roll
er scoops or dump trucks here.
"In India we must have coolies,
bullocks and carts. The average
cart speed is two miles an hour"
There are no gin poles, cranes
u elevators to construct buildings.
"In India, ramps, women and a
lot of noise are required. Wooden
pins, rope and salvaged wire are
still used here, while nails and
bolts are scarcer than gasoline on
the eastern American seaboard."

house. committees by Secretary OF
War Henry L. Stimson and Gen.
George c. Marshall, chief of staff.
They placed the present size of the
army at approximately 4,25O,000.
Stimson appeared before the house
military affairs committee and
Marshal testified before the senate
military committee in support of
the 18 and 19-year old draft. They
agreed that the average age of the
newly-formed divisions-28 years in
August-was too high for the swift,
mobile warfare of World war II.
I'VE have privates 80 years OF
age,Y Marshall said THAT is not
good thing The older men ought
to be at machines where they can
do what they are good at. The
younger men, in my experience, all
want to CO."
MAY RELEASE OLDSTERS
Marshall said the army intended
to release as many of the Older,
ineffective" men as could be utilized
in essential industries and replace
them with the younger more vigor-
Gus" men. That, he added, would
enable the nation to maintain its
high level of war production and at
the same time lower the average
age of men in the army's fighting
branches.
Stimson told the house group that
its no more pleasant for me to
consign the sons of my friends, the
grandsons of my friends, to the hid
eous character of modern war than
it is for anyone else
But, he said, if I'VE are to save
civilization" that lis the only road
which we can follow"
Stimson said the army intended
to build up strong striking force
that will be powerful enough to
play decisive role in this war. He
estimated that the air forces would
be built UP to 100000 men next
year; the ground forces to 100000,
the services of supply to 100000;
with an additional 100000 in train

didn't know what they were let
ting themselves in for when they
went out on the desert to look for
sand with Fire Chief Corn Reed and
Pat Patton. (RR would just as soor

Wearing out precious tires, the
party went from desert spot to des-
ert spot. None of the sand suited
the Australians. They wanted it
for street work in Ell Centre and
it had to be just right.
They at last drove into Painted
Gorge, that lonely, isolated spot off
highway 80 west of Ell Centre. Civ
ilization seemed far away. Hills
ringed the spot from the frownine
distance The silence pressed down.
There was nothing but sand and
rocks and sky.
At this point the conversation be-
tween Pat and Corn took a new
tone.

lets?" Corn asked, pointing to a
rocky spot.

THAT was where they found Jim
Gu,rson. They found Brown over
that hill" This went on and on.
The area was scattered with
momentoes of past bullet and stab
bing victims. Finally the trail ran
out.

sourly. How are we going to get
out quick with the car pointed
this way?" The party walked on
with Hardness tagging in the rear.
At last he sneaked back and headed
