! Now that zoot suits are out fol
the duration, guess we'll have 10 turn
our attention to something else
picking the football winners, for
i instance:
Our first selection is no less than
masterpiece. Syracuse will defeat
the North Carolina Navy Fliers.
Score will be in the neighborhOOd
/ of 1876.
El Centre high school is our choice
to defeat Holtyille by a 1910 score.
The Spartans have been seriously
hampered by the loss of several
backs. Ed Wylie, Ed Alarcon, and
couple of linemen, Harry Dillon
and Frank Dessert, but they still
have enough class to push over
three touchdowns against the Vik-
ings.
Fordham is our choice TO top st.
Mars in one of the nations most
interesting inter- sectional games.
The Rams are really tough this
year. The Gaels are $3.50.
Rice versus Texas Tech should
be another very interesting contro-
versy. Think we're sticking our
necks out a little but mark US down
in favor of Texas Tech.
Yuma is the choice over Calexico
high mainly because CaleXico Coach
Lee Boyle intends TO use reserves
against the Crims.
Now here's our prize prediction
of the week. Illinois will hold the
mighty Michigan Wolverings TO a
tie after falling before Notre Dame
last week. That Illinois line is
sweet.

The National Boxing associations s

william boxers ratings on a pre-War
basis. released today, shows but
one newcomer among the cham
pionS, Bantamweight Manuel Ortiz
of Les Angeles.
Ortiz right to the royal robes

mission, but this misunderstanding
probably will be Strengthened out
in a Mexico City ring before the
next NB.A. quarterly ratings, in
which service men frozen out of

orary class.
Abe Green of Paterson, president
of the N.B.A., said today that Pro-
moter Baldonero Romero of Mexi-
co City, is trying to arrange a
eantamweight title fight of Is
rounds between Ortiz, a California
Mexican, and Lou Salica of New
York, from whom Ortiz took the
crown August 7.

instead of the 15-round distance
which New York requires. The New

of the NBA. Green said, 1T is
unfair of the New York commission
to take this action" Salica signed
a contract to defend his title at II
rounds. He went in with his eyes
open. However, I am gratified to
learn that the New York commits

cept the Mexico City match and
settle the dispute In this connec-

Stoves can no longer be sold by merchants, the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce notified its members today, after receipt of word from Frank H. Blakeslee, director of the New Haven office of the Priorities Division, War Production Board. The order includes coal, oil, gas~and electric ranges.
 Officials of local furniture com- panies, however, claimed that the WIPE order is not as sweeping as claimed by MT. Blakeslee and sought further clarification from Washing ton.
 The state WIPE official said that the ban became effective last Fri day, the 17th, on "all new gas appliances and all new heating sup plies." Later in his statement, MT. Blakeslee said: This means stoves of all kinds ana descriptions

 Herbert VerVeer, manager of the Hadley Furniture CO, told The Democrat that he was complying with MT. Blakeslee's instructions though he believed they are based on a misapprehension. Several de- liveries of stoves planned for today were held up, he said, pending clarifying instructions from Wash ington. Other stores, he said, were undoubtedly following the same procedure.

Cox took the witness stand today to declare that the work of the s20,000,000 q year road division "has been honestly per- formed throughout my administra- tior." .
 His assertion vas continued ln q iB-page statefnent, portions oi which referred 10 his deputy cont missioner, Frank Upman. Jr.. but these references were not allowed in evidence by Referee George E. Hin- man who declared "I am not here to try charges against anyone but Commissioner Cox"
 Joseph H. Berry, counsel for the commissioner, pleaded that the Up. man references be allowed to re- main in the statement.
 He charged "there's something besides sincere attempt in this case. I believe there's a motive be- hind it."
 When Cox was suspended last Feb. 4, said Berry, only two charges were lodged against the commls- sioner, and both were known to Attorney General Francis A. Pale lotti for three years.
 "Why," he said, If those charges were such heinous mistakes, If they were SO bad in the winter of lO42, why weren't they bad In 1898 and 1eSD and l940 when they occurred? There is question of sincerity
