REDS HOLD NAzI

tator Col. Won Hammer said thai
the Nazi spearheads were about
40 miles east of the key rail and
highway junction of Zhitomir
from which the Russians were
forced Friday.
The Red army captured Lyubi
movka, 10 miles due south Of
Dnepropetrovsk, on the east bank
of the Dnieper, along with six
other German defense points ano
a railway station. the Russian war
bulletin said, while other Sovie'
units to the northwest swept
through eight strongly fortified
German defense centers south OF
Kremenchug.
By pushing further into the
Dnieper bend the Russians appear.
ed to pose direct threat to Nazi
units in the important rail center
of Krivoi Rog and the manganese
center of Nikopol-two points
which the Germans have bitterly
defended.
To the north in the area of Re-
chitsa, west of almost-encircled
Gomel, Russian units captured 81
enemy strong points, the conmu-
nique said. Soviet troops in this
region have been driving down the
Gomel-Pinck railroad toward the
rail junction of Kalinkovichi.
An index of the intensity of the
fighting along the entire Russian
front was contained in the war
bulletins announcement that Rus.
sian troops disabled 174 German
tanks yesterday.
Referring to the Dnieper bend
battle, which it pictured as a major
Soviet offensive, the German
communicate broadcast from Ber-
lin declared that 247 Russian
tanks were destroyed in that re-
gion yesterday, with 107 of that
number being knocked out by one
German army corps.
The German war bulletin also
said fierce battles were in pro-
gress, north of Gomel, where it
said an encircled Russian fn~ce
was wiped out, and declared Rus
sian attacks were repealed south
of Lake Ladoga in the Leningrad
area.
At the other extremity of the
front in the Crimea, the Germans
said their artillery fire and re-
peated air attacks nullified an
attempt by Russian troops to en-
large a bridgehead northeast Of
kerch. The Berlin radio said Ger
man naval units repulsed two at.
lacks by Soviet gunboats in the
kerch strait and sank one of the
Russian vessels.
The Russian communique made
no mention of actions in. the Cri.
mea or the Leningrad regions.

aged IS others.
Despite the Army gains in tia.
ly, it was evident the Germans
were prepared to make a strong
fight.
An Allied officer at headquar.
ters said the Germans now have a
total of so divisions in the Medi-
terranean area, including Italy,
France and the Balkans. Croat and
Bulgarian divisions are not includ-
ed in this total.
Of these 5U divisions, 10 are di-
1ectly committed to prevent the
advance of the Allied armies in
Italy. ... ..
Among the troops at the Italian
front are three newly arrived in
eantry divisions, the Gath, 305th
and 65th. The first two have a
good sprinkling OF young soldiers
getting their first battle expert
ence, but the 65th, according to
prisoners stories, is below normal
strength and equipped with obso-
lete anti-tank guns and under-siz-
ed mortars.
The new divisions have plenty
of horse and mule transport, which
is extremely valuable in mountain
:? under present weather con-
6itions. .......
o4.er divisions in the line, which
are reported to be battle-Weary
and not up to previous combat eff
iiciency, nevertheless have many
experienced officers and old sol
diers good at putting up a skillful,
stubborn resistance.
In northern Italy there is an
other cluster of German divisions
keeping the Italians in order,
guarding the coasts and ready to
serve at the Italian front or in the
Balkans as the need may arise.
The remainder of German Medi-
terranean strength is mainly in
France, Yugoslavia, Greece and
the Aegean islands.

Plans For Big Jamboree
/ In Wilmington Announced

Bert Causey, prominent local
promoter, announced that plans
are under way for another big
Jamboree in Wilmington.
The entertaining performances Of
the Tennessee Ramtlers, who ap-
peared here in one Of the shows
arranged by Mr.. Causey, met with
the approval of a large number OF
the populace As numerous re-
guests have been voiced for the
return of the Ramblers, Causey
stated that they would again give
their interesting show here. The
date of the Jamooree has been set

chords and a tendency to
sing off key being sentenced
to the scrubs, or the squad
which must seek to urge the
visiting team to greatest eff

The Navy's Army cheering Sec
ton was chosen by the flip of a
coin. Cadet J. W. Donaldson Of
Fort Riley, Kas., commander of
the first regiment, lost and conse-
quently mis- regiment this week is
learning Navy cheers and how to
sing Anchors Aweigh' like they
knew what it meant.
Two Navy cheerleaders have
been designated as a task force to
travel to West Point Thursday to
supervise the lessons, and prob
ably to guard against sudden
epidemic of laryingitis on the part
of the pupils.
Seriously, we think it is a fine
gesture on the part of the Cadets,
as it was on the part of the Mid
dies last year. If some such ar
raHgAments were not made, any
worthy effort on the part of the
Navy team on the field would
be greeted by vibrant silence
broken only by the soft lap of the
waves on the distant Hudson and
the plaintive bleat of the Navy
goat. Ticket sales are limited to
a 10-mile radius and it is safe
to say there aren't enough Navy
men in the area to man a row.

The Navy really should can their

SO that encouragement could be
given at opportune times.

AS for the game itself it will be
the first sports rivalry between
Camp Davis and Bragg and lit
tingly enough their respective re-
cords bode well for a tense and
tlrill-pscked contest. No less than
five ex-Ohio State performers will
be on display for the Fla RTC, IN
addition to other luminaries from

Buckeyes include ends John White

Cannon Naples. This quintet has
spanked the Braggmen to an un-

lights being a 70 to 0 clubbing of
Camp Butner and 80 to 0 trounc-
ing of Wake Forest Finance.
Fresh off a convincing Al to 0
rout of Daniel Field Saturday,
Camp Davis has finally acquired
the polish and highly-geared Of
tense that has been predicted for
the Blue Brigade all season. In
notching their seventh victory of
me campaign, all but one at home,
the AA's reached new high in
point accumulation. The six touch
down output was well conceived,
with passes, plunges, and a long
scoring project all figuring in the
count.
While steadfast line played
havoc with Daniel Field, the Blue
Brigade backs galloped for lucra-
tive 395 yards along the ground.
Norm Standlee was the spearhead
as he has been for several weeks
but he had worthy COM
pany in Johnny Bezemes, Frank
Waugh, and Ed Stocked. The lat
ters touchdown passes to Messing
and Krumtinger were laid right
on the line. An integral part OF
this devastating offense was the
vicious blocking afforded Brigade
ball-carriers.
Thus the Anti-aircrafters ap-
rroach the finale-barring any
pcst-season game-with prepos-
sessing 225 points scored to 63
markers for the opposition. And if
obtaining a Dec. 4 post-season

result, then Camp Davis can be
depended to go all out Thanks
