Xonten, Former Western Hiqh
Star, Near Torpedo Victim

Jack Xanten, star center and full
back Of the Western High School
football team of 1899, winner of the
interhigh grid championship that
year, suddenly realized that his
search for a Navy As automatic
might cost him his life If he didn't
leave his torpedoed ship quickly.
Jack is in Washington on furlough
and expects to be back or the seas
within a few days. He was serving
as member of Navy gun crew on
a United States merchantmen when
it was torpedoed in the Caribbean
several weeks ago. The ship sank
with two torpedoes In her vitals and
Jack was rescued after more than
an hour in the water and seven more
hours on q rubber raft.
I'VE saw one torpedo coming" he
said. 1T passed under our stern,
and the captain Immediately put the
ship into fast starboard turn. But
the next torpedo caught us on the
port side near the stern. At the
moment I was climbing the ladder
to the gun platform. The explosion
blew me into the air and I landed
on the deck, half conscious, and
bruised more than any football
tackle ever bruised me. In that
condition I remembered that I

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The future
Of major golf tournaments for the
duration Of the war will hold the
attention of delegates to the annual
meeting Of the Professional Golfers
Association of America which opens
a three-day session today.
Something Of the future already

Whir|away, River|and
To Settle Handicap
Feud al PimIico
Each Winner Over Other
This Year, They'll Race
Again in Gov. Bowie
BY the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.-Whirl-
away and his principal rival for
handicap honors of the year, the
Louisiana Farms Riverland, are
scheduled to settle their three
round debate in the $4,000 added
Gov. Bowie Handicap featuring
Wednesdays closing day race pro-
gram at Pimlico.
The decision of Ben Jones, the
canny MisSourian who trains the
Calumet string, not to ship Whirly
to Belmont for the Victory Sweep
stakes, thus awarded to Pimlico the
money champions last Eastern ap-
pearance of the season.
Riverland, the Midwest giant killer
who turned in upset triumphs over
Whirly and Alsab, lost a bit of
prestige when he was beaten in
the Grayson Handicap by Aonbarr
here Saturday.
The mile and q half Grayson was
Riverland's first race over that
route and the big gelding didn't
have the stretch punch to stave OF
Aonbarr's bid
The distance of the Gov. Bowie
a mile and five furlongs-would thus
appear to favor Whirly, for the son
of Blenheim II has won at every
distance he has been asked to go.
He and Riverland have met twice,
each winning once.
To contest the Bowie, Jones de-
cided to pass up chance to even
accounts with Alsab. Mrs. AL
Sabaths 3-year -old also is eligible
for the Bowie, but now is at Bel
mont.
Jones voted to decline the Bel
mont War Relief race because of
the trip, coming as it would, after
a strenuous campaign. Whirly al
ready has run more than six miles
for benefits, having made five of
his 20 starts this season in relief
program features.

Navy 10 Do Cheering
For Army in Clash
AT Annapolis
Pointers Accept Offer
Of Middies to Provide
A Roofing Section
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.-Midship-
men, of all people, will do the cheer
ing for the Army football team dur
ing the annual Army-Navy tussle
at Annapolis November %, because
the members of the West Point
Cadet Corps will not be among
those present. "
That was the word today from
Maj. Gen. Francis B. Wilby, super
intendent of the United States
Military Academy, who accepted a
formal offer from the brigade Of
midshipmen to provide an Army
cheering section.
1t appeared for a time that the
cheers for the cadets were going
to be mighty weak after President
Roosevelt moved the game from
Philadelphia to Annapolis and di-
rected that only persons residing
in and about Annapolis be per-
mitted to purchase tickets.
! Navy Offers Roofing Section.
Then Jesse Linthicum, sports edi-
tor OF the Baltimore Sun, asked in
q letter to Gen. Wilby if one of
two suggestions would be consid-
cred. Linthicum suggested that
either the midshipmen be divided
or that recordings of Army cheers
be used.
In the meantime, the formal offer
to provide the cheering section came
from the Naval Academy. /, In a
letter to Linthicum, Gen. Wilby
said he had visited Annapolis and
Washington in connection with the
matter and added:
THE suggestion Of the brigade
Of smidshipmen to provide cheer
ing section for West Point at the
game was most welcome here and
has been accepted by the corps Of
cadets. We feel that it is q fine
indication of the spirit OF COM
radeship that already exists be-
tween the cadets of the military
academy and the midshipnlen Of
Annapolis.
Nothing New for Army.
II know that the custom which
is being initiated for the Army
Navy game on the 28th will result
not only in closer ties between the
two academies, but also will con-
tribute towards that close co-opera-
ton between the two services which
is so essential in war"
1t will be new experience for
the middies, but not so far the
cadets.
Gen. Wilby said the same system
has been used since 1923 In hockey
games played by West Point and
the Royal Military College of Kings

Montgomery Ward
Agrees TO Obey WLB
On Roosevelt Order
SeweI| Avery Notifies
President Company Will
Sign Union Controct
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated PRESS.
Sewell Avery. president of Mont
gomery, Ward g. Co., said last night
that his firm would obey President
Roosevelt's order to comply with
out further delay" with the War
Labor Boards ruling that it sign a
CLIO contract embodying a mainte-
nance of membership clause.
Previously Mr.. Avery had notified
the WLB by mail that the company
would sign the contract-without
duress clause-if Mr.. Roosevelt
as Commander in Chief in time of
war ordered such action.
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday directed
Montgomery Ward to comply with
out further delay" with the WLB
order.
This was the second order from
the President las Commander in
Chief in time of war" to the COM
pany.
Baked at Two Provisions.
The Montgomery Ward company
first refused to comply with WLB
order that it sign a union contract
with check-off and maintenance of
membership clauses, contending that
such provisions were illegal.
After company spokesman had
said such a contract, which would
cover its Chicago employees. would
be signed only on specific directive
from the President, Mr.. Roosevelt
issued such a directive November 10.
The company then insisted on
inserting into the contract a clause
to the effect that it was considered
Illegal by the company and was
being signed only under duress. The
WLB refused to accept this clause
but proposed compromise declar-
ing that the company signed after
protest.
After another hearing here Tues
day, Montgomery Ward spokesman
further challenged WLB authority
and refused to sign the contract
proposed by WLB unless directed to
do so by the President.
Davis COnfers With Roosevelt.
WLB Chairman William H Davis
laid the case before Mr.. Roosevelt
in White House conference again
Yesterday and shortly afterWard the
White House made public telegram
sent to Mr.. Avery. The telegram,
signed by Presidential Secretary
Stephan T. Early, quoted a letter
written to Mr. Avery by the Presi-
dent yesterday.
The text of the telegram follows:
For your information, the Presi-
dent has signed the following letter
