New Food Gar
Named by FDR
St. Louis Banker
to Handle Key Job

WASHINGTON. March rs -
(P - The Agriculture Depart
ment marked time on its war
food program today pending the
arrival of Chester G. Davis to
take over the job of food pro-
' duction and distribution admin
istrator and the issuance Of
White House order defining his
duties and his relation to Secre-
tary Wickard.
The appointment of Davis,
president of the Federal Reserve
Bank at st. Louis and former
agricultural adjustment admin
istrator, was announced by Pres
ident Roosevelt yesterday in
statement which left unanswer-
ed, for the time being, the exact
scope of his duties and RESPONSE
bility.
The White House announce
ment, which evoked expressions
of approval from major farm
organizations and leaders Of the
congressional farm bloc, said
Davis agency would be located
in the Agriculture Department
and that it would have charge
of the departments food pro-
I duction and distribution activ-
tiles, including the AAA and the
recruitment of farm labor.
The principal questions left
hanging are whether Davis is to
be responsible to Wickard in any
way or whether he is to answer
to the President alone. Also be-
ing asked was the question OF
whether Davis is to have the
final word in determining the
administration policies on farm
prices.
Information bruited among
farm leaders was that Davis had
agreed to accept the post only
on the condition that he be the
final authority on farm prices.
Such organizations as the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation,
the National Council of Farmer
Cooperatives, and the National
Grange issued statements prais-
ing the Davis appointment, but
warning that he would be un-
. able to succeed unless he had
complete control over the gov
ernment's policies affecting farm
prices, production and distribu-
ton.

New York, Dec. 2.-Notre Dame losing to Great Lakes on two des- peration passes with only 28 seconds to go is one reason why coaches get grayer.
 Frank Leahy and the young men of the Golden Dome were shooting for it all-their 10th straight and first unbeaten and united season in 13 years.
 They were bang-up until the last step, too, for as in the case of the Iowa Seahawks the week before they had come from behind to take the lead, this time by rushing the ball 80 yards on 20 plays and with Creighton Miller again making the payoff plunge with less than min ute remaining.
 In a sense, Notre Danes defeat is a good thing for college football.
 It makes it perfectly plain that the teams phenomenal record was hung up by college kids, stresses the fine coaching job of Leahy and his staff.
 Perhaps the most unusual thing in connection with the Irish run was Leahy keeping his squad high week after week, specially follow ing the loss of Angelo Bertelll. He had to bring them to a pitch for the second game of the season-with Georgia Tech and keep them there an additional week-for Michigan.
 That was their most impressive performance-rout the Navy and Marine-laden Wolverines, 35-12, after pasting Georgia Tech.
 Bill Alexander easily could have been right at the time. The Rem bling Wreck's coach said they could score 50 points against any college team.
 The South Bend typhoon had a two weeks breather and then tight ened up again to remain in full stride for five successive Saturdays for Navy, Army, Northwestern, Iowa Pre-Flight and Great Lakes. It was one step too much for even the Notre Dame varsity of 1943, and, after the boys in the green jerseys pulled the Seahawk engagement out of the fire, the match at Great Lakes came as an anti-climax.
 The fact that the Irish once more g put on sustained drive when they had to in the closing seconds and apparently had woven perfect skein made it all the tougher to be beaten on a 46-yard pass.
 Now Frank Leahy knows how Wallace Wade felt in the Rose Bowl, Jan. 1, 1942. Wade's Duke varsity of that fall completed representa- tice schedule which included a >strong Pittsburgh array without having a point scored against it.
 Then Wade, who had never lost in Pasadena had 8 mighty Southern California combination beaten, 30 with time running out in seconds. It was under these circumstances that the Trojans completed five successive identical passes to score and win. The passes were completed over Eric Tipton, the slickest de- fender against an aerial in the south. There was nothing that Wade could do but get grayer
 Following the Army game, Leahy warned against saying anything nice about your own football team, re-

BIockhowks And Leofs Tied Up
(By United PreSS)

The Toronto Maple Leafs moved into a tie for second place in the National Hockey league and the Montreal Canadiens strengthened their hold on first position as they scored victories last night.
 The Canadiens, making runaway of the race, remained undefeated with a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks, co-holders of second spot. Montreal exploded for four goals in the last 10-minutes of the game to break 2-2 deadlock.
 Toronto scored its victory in much the same way, scoring four times in the last period to edge the De- troit Red Wings, 6-5. The Leafs played sloppy hockey through the first two periods, drawing boos from their own fans when they trailed 3-2 after the start of the last period.

ZonneIIi Wins Over JQnnuzzo

Boston, Dec. 3.-(UP)-A disputed victory belonged to welterweight Ralph Zanneui of Providence, R. l.. today after he came through re- turn match with Izzy Jannazzo of Brooklyn, N. Y, to take a split decision.
 A fair share of booing by many of the 4,691 spectators at Boston Garden followed last nights 10- round match in which Jannazzo sustained an eye-cut in the sixth round and was slowed down with heavy body punches.
 Jannazzo, entertaining the ring a 3-1 favorite by virtue of his win over zannelli in Providence ten days ago, coupled his boxing skill with a -mart left hook to take an early lead.
 However, Zannellis usual ability to wear an adversary down by ab- sorbing punches stood him in good stead and late in the battle he man. aged to score with winging swings that shook Jannazza considerably. Zannelh weighed 148h, Jannazzo, 149.
 In eight round semi-sinals, Billy Tortoglione, 149, Boston, knocke.' out Jackie Connors, 143, Newark, N. J., in the second; Tommy Murray, 130, New York city drew with Sam my Garcia, 125, Quincy.
