A communique issued at Cairo

Montgomery's Eighth Army impe-

remnants of the Axis Libyan armies

support the impression that the

increasing rapidly and that Mont

Montgomery's supply lines were
better developed than Anderson S

that the Allies were growing strong

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-UPD-
Pledging a fight against anti

Intercollegiate Football association
today carried forward plans for
continuation of football and other
sports in 1913.
An extensive program of in
tercOllegiate competition in COM

an essential contribution to training
for war" the association voted
unanimously at a meeting yester-
day.
Boxing, wrestling, track, basket
ball and golf divisions of the aSso-
citation voted simultaneously to
carry on next season. Rowing Of
ficials ruled, however, for contin-
ued cancellation Of the Pough-
keepsie regatta, a 1912 wartime

tions set by transportation condi-

a program would best attain the

They held the AusSies off for three
