 AVERAGE S9 POINTS
 Rhode Island States Fire En- zines have averaged 89 points for i've games, including an 84-75 loss to Fordham in Madison Square Gar den, where the Bronx Rams beat them at their own game of grab-it- and-throw.
 Graduate of Bates College, Keaney, a puckish little round man, has been ball player in the Inter- national league, a chemist and col- lector of fine, glass and pottery.
 His teams are outstanding in that they employ no type of defense and always have two sleepers under their basket waiting for poor passes by opponents and interceptions to mates. This makes for hoor-length passes and writer's cramp for score- keepers.
 In a double-header and matched with Fordham, Rhode Island State helped to break more Madison Square Garden basketball records than mad musician with baseball bat.
 Keaney's boys were ahead at in' termission, 46-45, for new higt half-time total.

This Modern Hen Creates
Incubator of Her Own

Among the interesting birds on
Guadalcanal is the brush fowl, a
dark-colored bird about the size
Of bantam hen. Instead of set
ting on her eggs, this mother bird
covers them with decaying vege-
tation. The heat generated by the
action of decomposition keeps the
eggs at Matching temperature.
The incubation period lasts
around so days-longer than for
any other land bird. AS a result,
the young have the power of flight
as soon as they are Matched.

18TH AIR FORCE
IS NOW SET UP

round trip to drop nearly 100000
pounds of bombs.
The second attack was October
/, when a powerful force of Lib
orators dropped their b o m b 5
squarely in the target area.
Naming Spaatz to be American
aerial commander in chief in the
Mediterranean theater, General
Eisenhower gave recognition to the
efforts of a veteran airman who
was credited with evolving tn e
strategic tactic aerial teamwork
which characterized the Northwest
African Air Force.
Spaatz had headed the North
west African Air Force through
the Tunisian, Sicilian and south
ern Italian campaign.
(This dispatch did not bring out
whether the Northwest African Air
Force was to cease to exist, but
it has served the purpose f o
which it was designed.)
Gen. Spaatz was the organizer
of the powerful U. S. Eighth Air
Force now operating in Britain.
He built the Eighth Air Force
from nothing to point where it
was just beginning to feel t
strength when he was called to
Africa to take over the then some
what feeble 18th Air Force and
the Raj which had been ham,
mered badly by the Germans.
He organized the thousands Of
planes operating from scores of
bases which grounded the German
air force in Africa, wiped it out
of the air over Sicily, and reduced
it to a minimum over Italy.
Spaatz was one Of the first Is
men in the U. S. Army to earn his
wings as a pilot, in 1915. He went
to France as captain, where his
genius for organizing found him
in charge of an aviation instruc-
ton center for Americans at Is
soudon. Later he served at the
front, shooting down three Ger
man planes and winning the Dis
tinguished Service Cross.
After the war Spaatz served in
varied sections Of the United States
studying flying, and in 1929 won
the Distinguished Flying Cross. In
1910 he went to England to view
effects Of the German air raids
and study counter measures.

.DIMANCHEFF TOP
BACK FOR PURDUE
Little Was Expected OF
Present Star At First
OF Season

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 2.-tR-
A virtual unknown seven weeks
ago and so lightly regarded in Pur.
dues football plans that he barely
got into the seasons opener
against Great Lakes, Boris (Babe)
Dimancheff today had become the
No. 1 ball carrier on the Boiler
makers indicated and united
grid team.
On the shoulders of the 170-pound
Dimancheff, an Indianapolis boy,
will rest the burden of filling the
shoes of Touchdown Tony" But
kovich, who reported this week for
Marine training at Paris Island.
S. C.
Dimancheff showed up at Pur-
due only few days before the
Great Lakes game and said he
wanted to play football. Two years
ago he had been one of the out
standing stars among Indiana S
smaller colleges while playing for
Butler university, but he had been
on the shelf because of a con-
stantly recurring knee injury.
Coach Elmer Burnham, knee
deep in brilliant backs sent here
by the Navy and Marines, said
"come ahead" but Dimancheff
didn't figure very prominently in
the plans, largely because of that
bad knee.
He played a few minutes against
Great Lakes but that was enough
to convince Burnham. He's been
a regular ever since.
He's carried the ball II times
for an average gain of 6.15 yards
a try and has scored four touch
downs. He reeled off touchdown
runs OF 80 yards against Ohio State
and 46 yards against Wisconsin.

ners on the team" lone of the

in describing the Babe"
If Dimancheff comes through il
will relieve one of many worries
confronting Durham as he pre-
pared for Purdue's last two games
against Minnesota and Indiana.
The Boilermakers have lost l;
players in the last 10 days, trans
ferred to active duty with the Navy

Job will have to be done in just
two days of practice. Because Of
the term-end furloughs granted Ma
rine and Navy trainees, the bulk
of the squad won't be back on the
campus until tomorrow and the

Office Club Scores In Last
40 Seconds To Beat
Hullers, 1912

Coming from behind in the clos
ing seconds of play. the Main Or
flee staged Frank Meriwell fin
ish to nose out the Hull Staff grid
team by the margin of a single
point in Tuesdays touch football
game at the shipyard. The cul-
minating play, which could only
happen under the rules governing
touch football, was thriller. Neil
son passed to Strickland for the
tieing score which gave the Main
Office a chance to convert the ex-
tra-point, which they did by virtue
of a pass from Strickland to Neil
son.
The Hull Staff squad drew first
blood in the opening phase of the
game on an aerial from Strange
to Bowels who sprinted "a yards
after receiving to score. An at
tempted conversion failed. The
loser struck pay dirt again in the
second period on a pass: Strange
to Hodges for % yards. They again
failed to make the extra point.
The Main Office started their
point gathering in the second quar-
ter with Bowles tossing to Diggs
for six points and put the finish
ing touches on the game with their
last minute squirt which netted
them a touchdown and the extra
point. The Main Office remains
undefeated in second round play
and have established themselves
as 1.-The team to beat in coming
tournament play.
In the other game scheduled for
Tuesday, the Welders forfeited to
the Shlpwrights. Wednesday S
schedule: Erectors VS.. Driuers,
Filters VS.. Anglesmiths.

NAVY ALL SET
FOR SATURDAY
Notre DANES Licking Mid
dies Makes Navy
Hustling Bunch

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov 2-tP--
If - in capitals - the Navy can
round its lengthy list of injured and
ailing midshiprnen into anything
approaching top condition, watch
out for sailor rebound against
PENNSYLVANIA at Philadelphia Sat
urday.
The middies' spirits are on the
rise, their disappointment at their
first defeat - dished out by Notre
Dame - wearing off.
We've got that licking out of our
system and we don't have to worry
about an unbeaten season" said
Capt. John E. Whelchel, Navy
athletic director and head coach.
We're back in our own league
now"
That last statement was tribute
to Notre Danes great eleven, pro-
claimed by Whelchle, the other
Navy coaches and the players as
this years top and one Of the early
fine teams of any year.
Whelchei keynoted Navy feeling,
when he asserted, Nobody is 60
ing to lick that Irish team" And
that applies with or without Angelo
Bertelli, they added.
All week long before the Notre
Dame clash, Whelchel had said the
Middies were in poor physical con-
dition to meet the Irish, but no.
body took him seriously. Words of
praise for the Navy squad had
been discounted all season with a
pessirnistic note as to the MILDLY
chances.
But, he was right, and the Sail
ors, with several stars injured
and others i'll, failed to display
anything of the versatility, power
and drive that carried them to
WINS over N. C. Pre-Flight, Cor
nell. Duke, Penn State and Georgia
| Tech.
Only little Hal Hamberg, ace
passer, of the many triple-threat
backs available at the start of the
season, was able to stay in there
against the Irish; and only per-
sonal courage kept Habmerg in be-
cause he, too, suffered from hurts
that would have benched bigger
and stronger backs.
There was hope at the Academy
that Bobby Jenkins, former Alaba-
ma star, would be ready for Penn
sylvania. Whelchel had to keep him
out OF the Notre Dame game.
