Best Cosmos
Back in 10 Years

Not since the days OF Harry
Lutomski. a decade ago has Ham
tramck High had a back field star
like Stan Nestorek. Detroit Times
all-city halfback and the Cosmos
chief scoring threat against Cooley
Saturday in the Metropolitan
League championship football
game at u. of ID. Stadium.
81 would call Nestorek the
best Hamtramck back In the
last 10 years." says Floyd II.
Stocum, Cosmo grid coach who
has been connected with the
athletic department at the
suburban school more than 20
years.
Lutomski, who volunteered for
the parachute troops more than a
year ago, was captured in the
Allied invasion of Sicily last sum-
mer and is now prisoner OF war
in Germany.
"Nestorek IL real ball
player" Stocum said. There Is
nothing you would ask of a
high school halfback that Stan
can't do. He can run, block,
tackle, kick and pass. Best of
all, he has the fire and com
petitive spirit that sets him
above the rest, and this Ham
tramck team isn't lacking In
spirit"
Teams which have come across
NeStorek This season have found
him a tricky customer. He may
be stopped on four plays, but get
away for long touchdown run
on the fifth try.
The Cosmo back has scored 13
touchdowns this season 10 lead
the league and has passed 10
many others. He has yet 10 be
stopped completely, and Cooley
is setting its defense Saturday in
an attempt 10 do just that.

DECIDED RAP

Uneensored Reports Claim
Japan Worked Against
Russia, Aiding Germany
(By Associated Press

The Soviet labor magazine fol
war and the working class asserts
that extremist elements" in Japan
worked against Russia in behalf OF
Germany.
Without elaboration the publica-
ton said yesterday, Japan has push
ed the war despite shortage OF
materials and then added in their
hopes of victory for Fascist Ger
many over Europe, these extremist
elements in Japan also inspired var
ious anti-Soviet plans.
The statement is one of the
strongest to come through Russian
censorship in recent months.
The magazine, discussing the Pa
cific war, said the initiative rested
completely in the hands of the
American armed forces The situa-
ton is far from favorable to the
Japanese at home in Japan.
The publication declared TOTO had
replaced his policy of brute force
for one Of "skillful demogagy"
Through attempted appeasement
of moderate financial aristocratiC
elements, the new policy is being
designed to draw people of con-
quered countries in East Asia to
their side"

MOSCOW, Nov. 22.-German po-
sitions at Krivoi Rog, key city in
side the Dnieper bend are menaced
by a new Russian offensive thrust
apparently designed to divert the
Nazi forces fiercely attacking in the
Korostyshev sector in the Northern
Ukraine.
Frontline dispatches said the lat
est Russian assaults south of Kre-
mechug, one of the original Soviet
bridgeheads on the west bank OF
the Dnieper River, smashed enemy
resistance yesterday to overrun
eight Nazi defense bases there
About 5000 Germans are reported
slain and SO tanks knocked out in
the fighting
The thrust added to the Difficult
ties already confronting the Nazis
but they continued to press the at
tacks in the Korostyshev area west
of Kiev, though they have nothing
to show for their efforts but heavy
losses in men and machines since
recapturing Zhitomir
The familiar scene is thus once
more being enacted, the Germans
attacking with a large concentra-
ton of troops, tanks and planes in
a narrow sector, while the Russians
absorbed the blows, and their wide
ly distributed forces struck in other
areas.

OVER JALUIT, MARSHALL IS
LANDS Nov. 15.-tDelayed) This
aircraft dropped one bomb acct
dentally ON the Japs at Jaluit
and a number of others intention
ally, plus at least two loaded ASS,
one box of rations, and except for
some luck-this correspondent.
Everything went lovely in this
record-breaking raid, probably the
longest of the war, until the plano
got here at an altitude of 10000
feet.
Bombardier Lieut.. N. l.. Sgelton
of Danville, Va, had the bomb
doors open and was all set to loose
his load. Yours truly was doing the
one thing the Geneva Convention
allows correspondents to do legally
cooperating, as Sgt. Robert New
man of Franklin, Mass, was getting
his heavy aerial camera over the
open hatch about three feet square
Then it happened.
Along came this down draft and
the 30-ton aircraft dropped 1900
feet in 20 seconds. Yours truly
made the best jacknife dive of his
career over the hatch, stuck one
leg around the camera and the
other around some stray gear. his
head under the legs Of the tail gun
ner, Sgt. Roy Beyeler of Fishhaven
Idaho, and hung on tight.
One of the biggest bombs came
off the rack and fell away from
the ship. Shelton soon saw the tar
get underneath and took no more
time. He dropped all the bombs and
things blew up below. That's all
there was to it.
