Roundup

NEW YORK, Nov. 18-(R-
Football Isn't All Fun Dept: A
few weeks ago you may have
read that when the Woodward,
Iowa, High School football coach
answered Uncle Sans call, the
town parson took over his coach
ing duties Now comes a
letter from Rev. Dad" Kren-
myre reporting that after Wood
ward had fair season, some
one dug up an old rule requir-
ing a coach to teach two other
subjects Since the parson
merely was working for moth
ing, paying someone to take care
of some of his other duties and
nursing more sore muscles than
most people have good ones, he
couldn't fill that requirement
AS a result, all of Wood
wards games were ordered for
feited and even the three teams
that beat Dads" school lost
credit for it when the official
scores were changed to 10 Z.
Maybe rules is rules, but it
seems from here that such tech
nicalities had better be disre-
garded in the interest of keep
ing football in its place as moth
ing more than swell game
In fact, we'd be inclined
to use stronger language than
Rev. Krenmyre's one-word COM
ment: "Piffle."

 Mfr. Roosevelt's order provided for the continuing registration of those who attain their 18th year after Jan. l. They will register on their birthdays.
 For those who become 18 after July l. the following schedule was set:
 Youths born between July 1, 1924 and Aug. 3l. 1924. will register dur ing the week beginning Dec. II. Those born between Sept. l, 1924. and Oct. 3l, 1924. will register be- tween Dec. l8 and Dec. A. Those born between Nov. 1. 1924. and Dec. 3l. 1924. will register between Dec. 26 and Dec. 3l.
 This is the sixth registration or- dered by the president. The last was on June 30, when l8- and 19- year-oldS were first registered.

Defeat at SOlOmOns May Be Signal for Advance
 NOrthward
By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff CorrespOndent) ]

Headquarters United States Paci- fic Fleet, Pearl Harbor, Nov. l8- (UP)-Japans naval defeat in the Solomon Island, and its failure to oust United States forces from Guadalcanal Island, may have pre- pared the way for the long-awaited American drive northward through Japanese -held islands, well inform ed quarters said today.
 Informations warned that the United States still faces bitter fighting on Guadalcanal against Japanese forces already there and additional reinforecments which may be landed.
 The enemy must be thrown out of the southern Solomons, 1t was said. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, Pa- cific fleet commander, promised they would be in a statement calling the Solomons battle major victory.
 In recent operations the Japanese had established valuable observation posts in the Guadalcanal mountains, from which they could overlook American positions and report by radio to their headquarters.
 The first job would be to wipe out those observation nests, the next would be to throw the Japanese en- tirely of the island.
 But so great was the American victory that 1t was felt here that the United States forces could now look ahead and plan for the day when they would start their push northward, aiming first at the great Japanese base of Nabaul on New Britan Island northwest of the Solomons and east of New Guinea.
 (An authoritative American in- formation said in London: The Solomons victory represents the United Nations first step on the way back. Retreating Japanese naval units are still being pursued by planes.")
 Adm. Nimitz said in his statement that the next phase would be the resumption of the battle Of replen- ishment and supply. This meant the strengthening of the American forces to oust the Japanese from the Solomons and to build uu de-

SOLDIERS, SAILORS SAFE IN LUNCHES

Boston. Nov. is.-(UP)-Soldiers and sailors serving in Oriental jun- gles are safer than residents of New England and New York--at least as far as plant and animal poisoning is concerned, according to pr. Elmer D. Merrill of Harvard University.
 Merrill. director of Harvard's Arnold Arboretum. is preparing a manual for the War Department to help servicemen identify edible plants for emergency use when lost in Polynesia and Malaysia.
 In regard to poisonous plants. Merrill said there is much less chance of being poisoned by inad- vertently coming in contact with a 6eleteF!ous species than there is in a New England woodlot or pasture where the common poison ivy abounds.
 'The snake infested jungle is a figTnent of the imagination, for ac- tually in all Polynesia (where pois- onous snakes are absen) and in most of MalnyaA. there is really legs chance of being bitten by poison- GUS snake than there is in the Hud- son Palisades just outside New York City" he said.

STATE DEMOCRATS
 HAVE NEW WORRY
Two Party Posts to Be Filled Now; Factions
 May Get Together

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 18.-(UP)- Connecticut Democrats were con- fronted today with the double task of naming a new state chairman and national committeeman.
 With internal struggling already going on over the naming of a successor to retiring State Chair man John T. Mccarthy, the death of National Committeeman David E. FitzGerald of New Haven ap- peared to complicate matters.
 The party already was split down the center by a tussle between the so-called new guard and old guard factions. State Comptroller John M. Dove. who leaves office January 6. was understood to be a candidate for chairman with support from the old guard groups, and Judge Charles E. Mahoney of Windsor also was a candidate with support from new guard elements.
 Some party leaders said a "deal'' might be possible between the two groups on the two posts, with one side taking oen job and the other
 
 taking the second.
 But, first, it was said, the lead- CTS of all factions in the party would have to sit down and talk matters over. This was regarded in some quarters as unlikely because of bit- ter personal feeling among the leaders.
 U. S. Senator Francis T. Maloney it was said, does not get along with Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy of Hart ford, the old guard leader. Sen, Maloney is a new guard chieftain.
 Gov. Robert A. Hurley. although he can sit down with Spellacy, Is not on good terms with Sen. Ma ioney. These rivalries may prevent a colution of the two appointments without a fight. observersr said.
 There was one report that Sen. Maloney conferred with Fitzgerald

JAP BOMBSHELL
 PROVES A DUD'
Admits Loss of Battleship at SOlOmOns; Claims
 Great U. s. Losses
By United Press

Japan today admitted today the loss of battleship, a cruiser, three destroyers ard fl planes in the Solo, mon Islands naval battle and dam age to a second battleship and seven transports.
 It claimed the sinking of eight United States cruisers, four to five destroyers. one transport and heavy damage to two battleships. three cruisers, three to four destroyers and three transports. In addition, it was said. more than 73 United States planes were destroyed.
 The admission came in a com munique of Japanese imperial head quarters. Japan had promised a ''bombshell" announcement on the battle, which would mot only re- veal startling war results to the dis credit of the United States Navy but show the world "a Japanese navy victory so overwhelming that the United States attempt at a counter-offensive in the South Pa- cific is a thing of the past"
 The "bombshell" proved to be the extent of losses admitted by Japan in giving its version of past United States naval victories. Imperial headquarters had admitted almost no losses of its own. Now fl had changed its technique in an appar- ent attempt to give a more convinc- ing picture of a claim of Japanese victory"
 The text of Imperial headquarters communique, as recorded by the fed- eral communications commission on the Pacific coast. was:
