Heavyweight King And

Give Exhibition

CAMP DAVIS, Sept. LIT may
be premature but Headquarters
Fourth Service Command has for
warded the assurance that Sgt.
Joe Louis, worlds heavyweight
king, will bring his boxing entour-
age to Camp Davis sometime IN
January.
The Bronx Bomber recently IN
augurated his exhibition tour OF
service camps and he is accom-
panied by sparring partner George
Nicholson in addition to one of the
worlds most renowned light
weights, Cpl. Ray "sugar" Robin
son.
Thus this Anti-Aircraft center
will be privileged to witness that
vaunted left hook, that haymaklng
right cross, and the incessant plod-
ding technique that has caught up
with virtually every opponent en-
gagged by the oft-defending title
holder.
During his Camp Davis stay.
SGT. Louis and his ring troupe will
be chartered with the Post De-
tachment, and it is certain that all
other activities will run a good
second in popular appeal comes
that January date.

Il DAYS LEFT
IN BOND DRIVE
CONTINUED From Page One)

To refresh the memory of pros
pective purchasers of bonds,
statesmen and salesWomen are
telling them they must buy: y to
help their country; y to back up
our fighting men; 3 to help keep
prices down; a to build nest
egg; 81 to insure the peace.
At Camp Davis, complete or
ganization for the Third War Loan
drive there has been set up, and
the War Bond committee and a
special sales force have begun
work to reach the goal set.
Parades, sound trucks and unit
meetings will publicize the cam
paign which is to last until Nov.
2, and weekly reports will be pub
hshed of the percentage of in
crease in war bond subscriptions
for the AAATC, Station Compile
ment, the AAA School, and the
civilian personnel.
The Third War Loan committee
IS headed by 1t. L. B. Foster,
deputy war bond officer for Camp
Davis; Maj. John R. A. Beatty,
AAATC war bond officer, Capt.
Louis L. Propst, Jr., civilian per-
sonnet representative, and Capt.
Edward R. Massie, Jr., AAA
School war bond officer.
Under this committee unit and
organizational representative will
make weekly reports from which
the final report for the camp will
be compiled. Battery committees
will contact all men in each Or
ganization.
Camp Davis goal is 80 per cent
of civilian personnel subscribing
a 10 per cent payroll deduction
for bonds and so per cent of mill
tary personnel subscribing 10 per
cent.
In addition, all officers are re-
auested to buy one bond a week
during the campaign. Civilians are
asked to purchase one additional
bond above the payroll deduction.
All purchases will be made by the
submission of the prescribed form
distributed by the Camp War
Bond officer.
A sales force of approximately
70 officers will be responsible for
oontac acting lar er installations,
making speeches on the campaign
to both military and civilian per-
sonnet. Organization of the cam
paign follows the plan established
by the Fourth Service Command,
with changes and additions neces-
sary to meet the needs of this
post.

MINNES0TASH0RT
IN VETERAN men
Golden Gophers Lack Ex-
perienced Performers
OF Past Seasons

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10. -(P)-
If experienced players give foot
ball coach dream team, then
DR.. George Hauser is in for a
nightmare this season at Mime
sofa.
For, believe it or not. II of the
% men now considered as making
up the varsity and first string
reserves have never played in a
college football game!
That's spreading the experience
pretty thin, and far cry from the
National champion days at Mime
sofa when there'd usually be a
couple of teams of juniors and
seniors around.
Four of the boys now on the l943
Minnesota Varsity are fresh out OF
high school; three have had fresh
man practice, but have never been
in a game; and the other four
two backs and two linemen- carry
all the experience. The fifth ex-
perienced man, a fullback, pre-
sently is on the second team.
So Hauser and his staff of as
sistants have a big job ahead to
fashion a team which will make
fairly good showing during the
early weeks of the campaign which
opens against Missouri Saturday.
At that, though, the Gophers are
going to have a pretty hefty out
fit. Ranging from freshman Don
Bunge's 225 pound at tackle, to
Stu Scheer's 1875 at end, the for
ward wall averages 203 pounds.
The four top backfielders run prA-
ty close together, two tipping the
scales at 1870 and two at 1875, for
a 1872 IL average.
AS the season nears, Hauser
says he believes Minnesota is about
on a par, as far as the general
football situation is concerned,
with Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.
But he definitely has visions of
rough going in the Michigan,
Northwestern and Purdue games
in the conference; and he feels
Minnesota will be over-matched in
the service games with Camp
Grant and the Iowa Seahawks.
After the season opener, Mime
sofa has home games with Neb-
raska Oct. 2, Camp Grant Oct. is,
Purdue Nov. 6; Iowa Nov. 10; Wis
consin Nov. 20 and the SeahaWks
Nov. 81. Games away are at Michi-
gan Oct. % and Northwestern Oct.
80.

ACE ADAMS TIES
OLD MAJOR MARK
Appears In 66th Game OF
Season AS Giants
Twice Drop Buns

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-lR-Ace
Adams, right handed pitcher for
the Giants, tied 35-year-old ma
jor league record today by ap'
bearing IN his 66th game of the
season as the National League
tailenders swept a doubleheader

Adams, starting Giant pitcher IN
the second game, equalled the
mark set in 1908 by Ed Walsh OF
the Chicago White Sox. Slxty-1our

in relief roles.
Adams gave up two runs IN the
first inning, but then blanked the
DODGERS until he was lifted for a
pinchhitter in a three run swan
INNING that won the game for the
Giants. Ernie lombard, who bat.
ted for Adams, singled home what
proved to be the winning tally.
Earlier, Johnny Kerr had MT
three-run homer in the fourth IN
ming to put the Giants ahead.
A crowd of Al, 1913, including 3d.
e25 paid, saw southpaw Cliff Mel
