JOHNNY HOLMES
DAVIS OPPONENT
Former Raleigh High Star
Now Sparkplug With
Daniel Field

When the Daniel Field Filters
from the Air Base at Augusta,
Ca, play Camp Davis at Camp
Davis this Saturday afternoon, a
figure familiar to Camp Davis sol
diers and to North Carolina sports
fans will be in the starting lineup
at left end for the Fliers.
The end a lot of them remem-
Der is Cpl. John Wesley Holmes,
OF Raleigh, N. c., former star OF
the Raleigh High school and North
Carolina State frosh teams.
Holmes, who will be out to re-
peat the score he made against
Camp Davis last year, was a
mighty dangerous end on the Ra-
leigh High school football teams in
80 and 40.
He played so we'll in 40 thai
he made the All-State team, and
was all set to play in the Shriners
Benefit game at Charlotte when
family matters kept him f r o m
playing, and Vince Gale, of Win.
ston-Salem, who is also playing end
for the Filters tilsi year, had tt
take his place.
1t was in 40, too, that Holmes
distinguished himself by puntins
for an average of 40 yards, anc
by employing a pet end arounc
play to gain more ground thar
all of Raleigh High schools OPP
ronents put together.
Holmes made the frosh team a
N. c. State in al, giving a gooe
account of himself in games with
Wake Forest North Carolina ane
Clemson among others. He enter
tea the armed forces in September
Of AZ at Fl. Bragg, and finally
made his way to Daniel Field.
| Last year he made Camp Davis
sll-opponent team along with Ton,
DiTomo, who is still throwing pass
es for the Fliers. Holmes and Di
Tonic, too, would like to do i
again, for that matter.
| Other North Carolina players OF
the Daniel Field squad are Pvt
George Blum, OF Winston-Salem
and Claude Davis of Wilmington
Both are ends: The trainer, Pvt
John Nantz, is from Charlotte.
Since Gale is listed as an end
too, looks like Holmes will hav
plenty of fellows from home help

BOB MONTGOMERY
MEETS BEAU JACK
The Bobcat Favored To
Win Over Former
Shoe-Shine Boy

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-LP-Bob-
cat Bob Montgomery and Bounc-
ing Beau Jack are going to
straighten out one-halt Of the
much-cut-up world lightweight
championship in Madison Square
Garden tomorrow highland it
looks as if Bobcat Bob is going to
do most of the Strengthening.
Bob and the Jumping Jack from
Georgia tangle in 15-rounder for
that piece of the crown sanction
ed in New York. This is not to
be confused with the National
Boxing Associations portion, now
held by swarthy Sammy Angott.
1t is the first title tussle in the
Garden since Bobcat Bob took the
bauble away from Bouncing Beau
last May and the neighbors and
their children are going to bulge
the triple-decked Eighth avenue
sports soupbowl for this one. Pro
moter Mike Jacobs already has
more than $4,000 in the bank from
advance sales and is figuring on
crowd of 1900 to $4,000 and a
gate that is almost certain to hit
100000 and may even 60 into six
figures.
The 10th street wagering ex-
perts think Montgomery is such a
sure-shot to repeat his first win
that they've installed the Phila-
delphia Negro a 1 to 3 favorite
over the one-time shoe-shine boy
from the Augusta National Golf
Club. This corner likes Bob to win
handily.
The Beau hasn't been too hot
since Montgomery gave him that
going over last spring. In his
most recent start he was outpoint-
ed by Bobby Ruffin, a local light
weight who had never before
been regarded as belonging in the
same ring with the Jumping Jack.
However, on that occasion, BeUl
was suffering from an injured
knee, an injury he says is all
healed now. 1t better be, because
the Bobcat is no one to trifle
with, even when you're in grade
A condition.

Cowboy LuttraH All Set
For Tilt With The Babe

"Cowboy" Luttran, one of the
most disliked and yet one of the
best drawing cards ever offered to
local mat fans, is all set for his
little affair with Babe Zaharias
tonight at ITALIAN Hall.
The face-making, strutting Lut-
trail will meet mis- match in this
|bout as Zaharias is also an expon-
ent of the grisly art of slam-bang
wrestling with no holds barred. The
burly Greek boasts three brothers
who also handle themselves well
in the ring and fans will remember
ibis buddy Chris who raised so
much cain here about five years
ago in his feud with Ray Wilmer.
Luttrau is the first to admit
that he only looks like a wrestler
in the face as his body is far from
physique beautiful, but underneath
that somewhat flabby exterior lies
lot of power and his bag OF

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-tR-Har-
old (ReO Grange, Illinois iceman,
who won about every football honor
there was two decades ago while
chilling Illini foes, is credited by
the Chicago Bears with introduc-
ing the man-in-motion play, now
common to all T-formatons.
Luke Johnsos of the Bears, says
that back in 1929, Grange was
playing left halfback for the Bears
and Carl Brumbaugh was at quar-
ter. The Bears were having some
success with quick opening play
i'll which Grange faxed to his right.
But the redhead finally tired of
rushing to his right on every play
and finally took an unannounced
excursion to his left.
When he returned to the huddle
he told Brumbaugh nobody COW
cred me at all.
So Grange repeated his adven-
ture with Brumbaugh tossing him
a pass that was. good for 20 yards.
The play has been fundamental
of T-minded elevens ever since.

teal twins from Westfield, N. j.,

This is the third of six articles especially prepared for NEA Serv- ice by fuel conservation experts.
 Imagine trying to keep warm next winter in a house having a hole in the wall as big as the kitchen sink! Yet the fact is, that cracks around the windows in an average home often add up to an opening of that size. Through such cracks, as much as fourth of the heat may be lost.
 Weatherstripping, calking, and storm doors and windows are your answer.
 Any householder can apply wood or felt weatherstripping without professional assistance. Copper, and storm doors and windows are your answer.
 Any householder can apply wood or felt weatherstripping without proprofessional assistance. Copper, brass or zinc stripping is better, but less available. If you obtain it, or some of the new plastic weather stripping, you may need help.
 If your windows have wood case ments, nail the weatherstripping in, or over, the cracks between the sash and the window frame. Follow the same procedure for door frames. There is special cement for at- tachirg the weatherstripping to metal frames.
 Windows which are not used much for ventilation can be taped up.
 SEARCH FOR CRACKS
 Cracks are bound to occur with normal deterioration. Look for these crevices where smooth wood or metal meets rough masonry, around mail or other delivery boxes, built wall ice boxes, coal chutes and places where piping and wiring enter the house.
 Seal these cracks with water proof, weather-resistant, elastic calking compounds which can be bought at hardware stores and building supply dealers. Oakum, felt, or paper will serve for winter. Do not use ordinary cement; it will dry out quickly, crack and crumble away.
 A winter vestibule will prevent the escape of heat that normally occurs while the door is being opened and closed. Naturally, the vestibule must be large enough to

AFRICAN AIR
 COMMAND GETS PENTAC0N BLDG.

With the American Army, North Africa, (UP)-Offensive operations involving United States air-borne troops for which officers and men trained with the Army in North Africa were planned in guarded Niessen huts and half-completed rambling apartment building, nick named the Pentagon building after its larger Washington prototype.
 Passes good for everywhere else in the training area were no gooo | in the Pentagon building. Only listed personnel were permitted in the rooms where the final plans pere made. Elsewhere in the build- | ing soldiers and local Arab laborers worked to complete the building as headquarters for the air-borne command, including air-borne troops and the Air Force units which fly them.
 Parachute regiments set up their own planning rooms, usuaully in Niessen huts in their own camps, guarded "A hours a day and re- stricted to intelligence and poera- tions officers. Here the operation was mapped in great detail down to the assignment of missions for com- panies and platoons.
 'Chutists Study Terrain After that it was up to the indi- vidual parachute battalions to make their own sand tables, repro ducing exactly the terrai nof their objective, studying it thoroughly and lining up the part each man and weapon would play in the vital early minutes of the operation. Not until these battalion sand tables are prepared do the vast ma jority of the troops know whay sort of an objective they will attack. Even when they do they do not know where it is. They are simply told to be ready for instance, to take an airport which is duplicated on the sand table. In the case of tho North African landings where paratroopers were used under the command of Sol. Edson D. Raff of New York city, two objectives were pTepdTeQ-dlIpoItS tS "A dnu b-Icp- resenting the airports of La Senia and Tafaroui near Gran. The men didn't know whether they were in Norway, France, Holland Or Ger many, and few even dreamed they were in North Africa.
 Each Man Knows Plan
 Planning must include every thing down to the last ounce. That is why officers get the weight of every piece of equipment and clothing worn by their men. They even study the difference between winter and summer underwear. Each man has to know exactly what his job is. That is why each must know the "DZ" the dro pzone, as well as his own company area back in camp. Each must know the entire plan of attack in the event lead CTS are wounded or injured.
 Much of that planning took place in the Pentagon building in North Africa and the guarded Niessen huts.
