YoIe Not To Lose H. OberheInaon

New Haven, oct. 26-Head Coach Howard Odell of Yale, the victim of one bad break after another this season, was happy today-and he had good reason to be.
 Although the end of the semester transfer of Marine and Navy V-i2 trainees stripped him of three Of his first string men, left at Yale in the shifting process was Harry Oberhelman, who playing his first game as Q center last week against the U. s. Military Academy, per- formed so brilliantly.
 The former All-Illinois Scholastic fullback, converted to an end at the beginning of the season and holding down that spot in the first five contests the Ellis played, is only Q sophomore, but enrolled in pre- medical work he was originally tabbed to be transferred to a wide western medical school.
 When announcement of the ass signments was made today, the en- tire unit of which 'Obie" is o mem Der was left behind to study at Yale for another semester, or until such time schools to which the men have been assgned for professional study commence their new terms.
 A sure tackler, Oberhelmaa was responsible to a large degree with halting the ground attack of the Army forces as he closed in fast from his secondary post, knife0 through blockers and dropped the ball carriers time and time again with short gains.
 Headache
 The pivot post has given Oden many a headache this season, and although he has used three starters previously he has been unable to plug the center gap and large gains were made through that avenue.
 Last week he shifted Obie from his flank post and the Oak Park H., lad was right at home. The experience he culled while backing up the line from his ftllznack spot when in high school was big help.
 Those service trainees wfs0 a&<s the Yale campus today were Cap8.

Beaver Season
To Open April 5

A season for the trapping of beaver
will be opened throughout the state
excepting in game refugees and state
parks for Is days from April to
10, inclusive, with limit of four
beaver per trapper.
A census made by the game re-
search unit of the Bureau of Game
on sample townships in the beaver
range showed a population approx
imately the same as that existing
previous to last years season. Last
years catch, including seizures and
permit trapping, was SPIT.
In the greater agricultural section
of the state beaver are still present
in scattered distribution from the
southeast and southwest corners Of
the state up to the northwest corner
In this area any beaver colony not
already causing damage is poten-
tial source of nuisance due to their
natural dispersion habits. In some
localities, however, where the pres
ence of beaver colony is desirable
and appreciated, protection may be
afforded by posting. -"
Special regulations with reference
to legalization of pelts will be issued
previous to the open season.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

: Furious fighting is going on on
four major fronts as the second
World war enters its forty-second
month-on the air front in western
Europe, on the Russian front in east
ern Europe, on the African front in
Tunisia, and on the Asiatic front in
China. -. .,.-l-. ,,,
But there is also fifth front, one
might say-the Peace Frontier it
is quite evident that number of
secret wires are being pulled by
someone in an effort to pave the
way for peace negotiations. The
stories come from Berne, from the
Vatican City, from Stockholm, from
Ankara, and many other sources with
suddenness which in itself is
enough to attract attention and to
stir up speculation.
Apparently there is no thought of
a general peace, comprising all bel
ligerents, right now, but there may
be steps taken to end warfare by
certain nations, one by one.
Most conspicuous is the talk
about possible separate peace
between Finland and Russia.
Those rumors have been in pro-
gress for some time, and since
there never is smoke without
fire, there may be something
to it.
What makes this particular re-
port unusually interesting is the
statement, said to have come from
Berlin, to the effect that Hitler would
not object to such peace since that
would give him an opportunity of
withdrawing twelve of his divisions
from the Finnish sector of the front.
However, all peace rumors must
be accepted with lot of scepticism
and reservation, and inquiry into
their motives will be necessary be-
fore the stories can be considered
dependable.
Bombs.
Recently the European air front

international News Review

has become peculiarly alive, and that
fact may lead up to systematic and
incessant bombing attacks by the
British and the American air forces
which during recent days have been
doing tremendous damage to some
of the great industrial centers of
Germany, the submarine nests and
ports in Nazi-occupied parts of north
western Europe. rs
WilhelmShaven, Nuren b erg,
Cologne, Dunkirk, Brest, Lorient,
st. Nazaire and ever SO many
other cities whose names are
familiar from their repeated ap-
pearance in the history Of aerial
warfare, have been subjected to
terrific attacks by Britishers and
Americans. s..
One noteworthy fact, reported to be-
authentic, is that Nazi defense was
weak, and it is said that Hitler has
had to transfer quite few of his
planes and guns from the Russian
front to Germany itself in order to
take part in the defense of the war
plants. If this is so, that, of course,
relieves the pressure on Russia.
Stiffer Opposition.
And the Russians are going ahead
as effectively as ever, driving the
Nazi invaders from city after city;
just now the Soviet forces are getting
closer to Poltava-and that means
Kiev, TOTO Smolensk and Orel; in
fact, Orel may fall to the Russians
within few days, if one may trust
the Moscow bulletins.
But it has been noticed that
the Nazi resistance suddenly has
become much more determined,
perhaps even stronger, than it
had been for some time.
That possibility admitted, it does
not yet mean that Hitler will be able
to reconquer the territory he has
had to give up during the last one
hundred days or so; in fact, experts
generally agree that he simply can

Spirited Buying
Sends Prices Up
All Slaughter Cattle Sub
stantially Higher; Hogs
Show Gain of l5c to Csc.

South st. Paul, Mimi, March 2,
1943: (USDA): Active buying on
the first two days of this week sent
prices for practically all slaughter
cattle substantially higher. Upturns
on steers, heifers and cows measured
fully Is cents and even that rise
did not cover extreme cases, espe-
cially on cows. Reduced supplies
produced the incentive for the adj
vance. In the absence of top choice
steers top rested at $3.50 for sew
eral packages good and choice year.
lings and heavy steers. Odd head
reached $1,000. Most of the crop
graded medium and sold at $500
to $14.25.
Good and choice heifers ranged
between $14.00 and $500, with COM
mon and medium grades $10.50 to
$12.75. A spread of $1,000 to $500
took good cows; common and medi-
UNI $1,000 to $11.50; and bulk can
ners and cutters $500 to $9.75.
Weighty cutters touched $1,000 and
shelly Gamers dipped as low as $500.
Bulls and vealers held steady, medi-
UNI and good bulls going at $1,000
to $13.25, with good and choice veal
ers $3.50 to $3.50, top choice $1,000.
Choice feeder steers brought $14.50,
with bulk medium and good $11.50
to $3.50. Prices were fully Is cents
higher.
Hog Receipts Reduced.
A sharp reduction in hog receipts
here as well as around the circuit
resulted in higher prices. Gains eff
fected here ranged from IS to Is
cents, heavy butchers showing the
full upturn. Sows gained 10. to
mostly Is cents. The top for the
week to date was reached Tuesday
when good and choice butchers seal
ing from ITO to $40 pounds reached
the $15.25 mark to again equal pre-
viously established highs. Heavy
butchers realized $500 to $15.15 and
good sows topped at $14.75.
Feeder pigs reflect little change,
most small lots grading good and
choice and weighing from 100 to 1870
pounds realized $14.50.
Little if any change in fat lamb
or slaughter sheep prices was noted
early this week. The opening ses-
sion was weak but the short supply
of slaughter classes on Tuesday slim
ulated trading and full recovery
was made Good and choice native
and fed wooded Montana lambs
bulked at $15.75 to $1,000, while good
and choice slaughter ewes continued
to sell readily at $3.50 to $500. Re-
placement classes were off 10 to Is
cents the result of top heavy sup
plies. Good and choice weighty
western shearing lambs stopped at
$500 and the bulk medium to choice
white-faced rangers and natives seal
ing under 70 pounds spread from
$13.25 to SASS.
