MJoe Marsh

In the square Of little village not
far from here ! came on the pref.
test flower garden you ever saw.
It was a lot Of flowers all mixed
up-hundreds Of different kinds, I
guess. So l asked a passerby If he
could tell me about it.
"Well," he says, ain this town
whenever anybody plants a flower
garden and has any seeds left,
they scatter them over this plot"
Then he leans over and pulls out
a couple of weeds. I'VE al have to
help pull out the weeds too" he
tells me. That way the village has
a flower garden to be proud Of"
That's about as pretty an illus
tration Of cooperation a. I ever
come across. But there's plenty Of
examples Of cooperation and civic
spirit these days.
We were talking Just yesterday
about how the brewers and the beer
distributors are working together
and cooperating with law enforce
ment authorities.
You see q lot Of friendship and
fine old customs have grown up

around beer. But the weeds-well
they've got to be pulled out, too
Everybody has to lend a hand.
And the brewing industry is just
sensible enough to recognize that
.. But what's more-they're do
ing something about it.
The brewers don't want their
beer sold in the wrong kind Of
places, and so they've teamed up
with the authorities in a self
regulation program to make care
less beer retailers "clean up or
close up" as they say.
From what I read, the plan is
working out mighty successful in
q number Of states, and is spread
in out into others.
From where I sit, II looks like .
nne idea 80. . mighty practical ex-
ample of how honest cooperation
works out to the benefit of every
one-the brewers, the beer retail
ers, and us plain citizens that like
our gardens and our pleasures-

Great Lakes Nov. g - With the football season waning, the Great Lakes Naval Training Station turns to basketball, further emphasizing that athletics remain an integral part in the physicatl development and prearedness of our armed forces
 Lieut. c. W. Davis, in charge of physical drill and recrea- tion, has prescribed basketball for every sailor at Great Lakes.
 Approximately 1000 teams will play during the season. More than 900 are to be formed among companies in recruit training. The Service Schools and two Ships Company leagues account for 76 more.
 The recruit training period at the station is short, so new teams will be formed among incoming com panieS as others depart for duty:
 Huge drill halls in l2 camps at the station will be used for games in the evening and on Sunday after noon. There will be three courts in each hall and at least 12 games will be played every night in each build ing. &nter-company, inter-battalion

 In addition to basketball, there now is activity at the station in touch football, boxing, swimming, water polo, indoor track and judo, which is hand-to-hand fighting-a combination of wrestling and ju jitsu.
 Recruits begin recreational periods after completing military duties, so no time or attention is taken away from the main event.
 Football became a mass game for the first time at the four Navy Pre- Flight Schools.

Triple Tie In Big League Hockey
(By United Press)

Detroit and Chicago moved into
 a three-way tie for first place in the
 National Hockey League with To-
 ronto Sunday night, both clubs
 playing ties with their opponents
 while the Leafs dropped 7-6 deci- sion to the Bruins at Boston.
 Bryan Hextall's goal at 19:19 of the final period styinied Detroit's chances of victory and gave the Rangers a A deadlock before a crowd of 12,000 at New York's Mad ison Square Garden. The Red Wings twice held the lead and paced the Rangers by a single goal going into the last period but HeXtan tied 1t up after 43 seconds of the period. Syd Howe gave the Wings an edge again at 9:2i but HeXtall knotted the count again on passes from Allie Pike and Phil Watson.
 The Montreal Canadiens over came three-goal deficit in the third period to deadlock the Black Hawks at Chicago, 3-3. before l4.- 564 persons. Fido Purpur.

|ODELL NEW HERO
 OF YALE CAMPUS
Win Over Harvard 7-3 Brought Flies ''Big 3"
 Championship

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2S.-(UP) -Bright-eyed Yale University foot ball fans were ready today to in- scribe Coach Howie Odell,s name in the gridiron Hall of Fame for his exploit in pulling the Ellis out of the doldrums in l942.
 The enthusiasm was understands able. because the present Yale un- dergraduate body doesn't remember ever having had a winning football team-until odell showed up this year and produced the goods.
 If ever there was doubt that Odell was a hero in the Eli hearts, it certainly was dispelled Saturday in Yale,s thrilling victory over Harv- ard. No matter If an Eli team has a disreuptable season, if it defeats Harvard all is forgiven. The Ellis won the contest, 2 to 3. and thus made It's seasons record five vic- tories and three losses.
 A pass from Hugh Knowlton to Tim Hoopes in the second half scored the only touchdown of the game, and sent New Haven into e delirium.
 The Yale team this season won victories over Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown and Lehigh-and Harvard and lost to Navy, Penn and Cornell. The Cornell contest was lost in the final two minutes.
 All this was done in Odell's first season here.

LEE SAVOLD TO PROVIDE KEEN
 TEST AT GARDEN
Slugging Bee Expected When Big Boys Meet;
 Knockout Probable

New York, Nov. 23-Jimmy Blvins, Cleveland heavyweight, who makes his Madison Square Garden debut against Lee Savold on Friday night, has established @ reputation as a powerful puncher, based mainly on the fact that, with few exceptions, he has fioored every opponent he has faced as a professional peri ormer.
 But Bivins has apparently not yet learned the secret of keeping his foes on the canvas for the full count. He hasn't yet acquired the knack of finishing off his opponents when he has them in trouble.
 This is indicated by tks records which show only eleven knockout triumphs in 35 fights. He had the opportunity of finishing Bob Pastor in their first fight, Billy Soose, Gus Lesnevich, Hami Mauriello, all of whom he toppled to the canvas but in each instance he let his victim escape.
 Pastor Floored
 Tn the case of Pastor, he had the New York heavyweight down three times only to have Pastor come on to take the verdict. A rematch last month produced no knockdowns but Bivins managed to outpoint Pastor and annex the decision.
 Since l940, when Bivins began his professional career, Savold has engaged in 36 contests and can point to a far more imposing knock out record than his Friday night ad- versary.
 He has bowled over g opponents, for the full count in some cases or through the intervention of the referee in other cases to save Lees opponent from further punishment.
 Certain 1t Is that the Garden con- test brings together two of the hal dest hitters in action today. Most New York boxing men believe there will be knockdowns when Sav- old meets Bivins and there may also be a knockout.
 Bivins has arrived in New York from Cleveland and is winding up his training preparations at Still mans gymnasium. Savold has been working out for the past ten days Greenwood Lake, N. J.

X-COuntry Ruler Dixon Starts Where John BOrican Finishes
N. Y. Freshman Is Best Negro Distance Man
 Yet Developed
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York,-Frank Thomas Dixon Sd, winner of the 34th annual In- tercollegiate A. A. A. A. croSs-cour- try run, was the fastest schoolboy miller in history-4:i4.l.
 Frank Dixon, New York Univer- city freshman, already has estab- lished himself as the outstanding Negro distance runner of all time and one of the greatest in American athletics today.
 Negroes seldom go much more than a mile, but young Dixon starts where John Borican stops. Big Borican's best distances are just under the mile. He just does make the mile.
 Phil Edwards, another Negro who represented N. Y. U. and who placed in three Olympic Games, went up to 1900 meters, but that wah his limit.
 Dixon appears to be able to run all day.
 A PURSUIT RACE
 He made a pursuit race out of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. K country run of five miles in Van Cortlandt Park, New York, with field of l3l from g colleges strung out in his wake.
 Dixon, 20 and St. Louis-born is the first freshman to win the biz number. Trailing him by 100 yards was Leroy SchwarZwopf, Yale junior and brother of the former Michigan luminary.
 Dixon was clocked in 27 minutes 8.4 seconds, but 1t was a more re- markable performance than the time indicates. He ran over a slippery film of mud. He covered more than five miles due to the start being showed farther back on the parade ground.
 Dixon stands s feet 10 and weighs l60 pounds. He attended James Monroe High in the Bronx and St. Francis Prep in Brooklyn.
 He has long arms and legs, runs with an easy stride, not unlike that of Gene Venske. He likes to go out in front and run the legs off rivals. He has strong finish. He is on the cocky side, has implicit confidence in himself.
 GETS FLYING START
 Prior to September, Dixon held the National A. A. U. Intercollegiate indoor milechampionship and the National A. A. U. Junior outdoor 5000-meter.
 Tn 1941-42, he placed third in the Metropolitan A. A. U. Senior mile in 4:15, fourth in the New York Athletic Club two-mile in 9:14.5, set a record in winning the National A. A. U. Interscholastic mile in 4:20.7, won the A. A. U. Handicap three quarter mile in 3:079, placed third in a Navy Relief meet mile in the fastest schoolboy performance on record-4:14.1.
 Dixon will compete in the Na- tional Senior Cross-Country in Newark, Nov. 29
 Frank Dixon has unlimited pos- abilities.
 He can't miss beirg a star of the indoor season.
 It is too bad those Swedes aren't coming over.
