REDSKlN DEFEAT
CAUSES DEADLOCK
in EASTERN LOOP
Cuff And Paschal Lead
Victors In Quest For
Pro Grid Crown

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-tR-The
New York Giants easily overpow-
cred ragged band of Washington
Redskins, 81 to 7, before IS, $40 fans
today to deadlock the Eastern Di-
vision standings of the National
Football League and force the
clubs into a play off in New York
next Sunday.
The Giants, spearheaded by
Ward Cuff and Bill Paschal, ripped
the Washington line to shreds. New
York's powerful forward line bat
tied up most OF Slingin' Sammy
Baugh's aerials ana throttled the
Redskins ground offensive.
On only two occasions were the
injury-riddled Redskins able to
mount sustained offerses, once on
a touchdown pass from Bough to
Joe Agulrre and again an a 90-yard
passing drive that begged down
five yards from the goal.
The Giants tailed twice in the
second period. Frank Cope and
Mel Helm crashed through and
blocked Bough kick on the Wash
ington IS and Steve Pritko recov-
cred over the goal line. Emery Nix
heaved a long pass to Frank Liebel
fora 50-yard touchdown gain a few
minutes later.
In the thi1d, the Giants marched
IS yards in eight plays with cuff
cutting off tackle fol 20 yards and
the third marker. Another 60yard
drive in that period was stopped
on the T., but Cuff split the up
rights for field goal.
The New Workers wound up their
scoring parade midway in the
fourth when Dav Brown intercept
ed a Baugh pass and Nix promptly
fired an aerial to Will Walls for a
30-yard touchdown.
Cuff added the extra points from
placement after all four Giant
touchdowns.
/ Before the game, league Com
missioner Elmer Layden flippec
a coin to determine the site of a
playoff in case New York won
Coach Steve Owen of the Giants
called it right. A win or tie to-
day would have clinched the divi
sion crown for the Redskins anc
sen them into the world champion
ship contest against the Chicago
Bears, Western title holders.
Layden said ne has rot determin
ed the date of the league title tus'
sic which originally was scheduled
for next Sunday.

SARAzEN, JONES
GIVE EXHIBITION
Large Gallery Is Present
AS Link Stars Do
Their Stuff
By ARTHUR ZILCH

Approximately 800 Wilmington
golf fans watched two of Ameri-
cas- best golfers yesterday after
noon as Gene Sarazen and Robert
T. Bobby Jones matched strokes
on the Cape Fear Country Club
links. Jones, however, was able to
play only the last nine holes as
his duties at the Wilmington Air
Base kept him from appearing
earlier. This was his first person
al appearance on Wilmington
courses since his arrival in town
several months ago.
A regular match was carried on
though, with Sarazen and Louis
Orren playing the team Of Julian
Morton and Gilbert Arthur. The
two teams were evenly matched
and after all the firing had ceased,
a tie for the eighteen holes was
effected:
The best ball on each side was
the manner of ascertaining the
winning team on each hole and the
closeness of the match was illus
trated by the fact that at no time
during the entire round were they
separated by more than one hole.
| Orrell and Sarazen drew first
blood when they won the fourth
hole with par three. Then each
side settled down to tie every hole
through the twelfth. But on the
thirteenth, Arthur banked in a
birdie three to square the match.
Then his partner Morton fired an
other birdie on the par four four
teenth to send him and Arthur one
up. The fifteenth and sixteenth
were tied but Orrell shot a four
on the seventh to again even the
contest. The eighteenth was halv-
ed with par fours.
Arthur and Orrell tied for the
low ball of the day with four over
par ISIS. Sarazen came next with
a rs and Morton had a 70. For the
nine holes that he played, Jones
had 80, three over par on the back
nine.

Bonus Plan Expected
To Up Fat Collections

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-R-
A bonus system of offering ra-
ton points for used household
fats is expected to double collec-
lions of the vitality needed prod
uct, War Production Board sal
wage officials said today.
The new campaign, whereby
housewives will get one brown ra-
ton point for every half-pound of
fats delivered to dealers, gets I'M
derway today. The point offering
amounts to bonus because the
Office of Price Administration al
ready authorizes payment by
dealers of four cents a pound for
the fats, required for production
OF explosives, synthetic rubber
and war items.
Many housewives have been
holding up deliveries of fats since
the announcement two weeks ago
ABOUT the new program" Herbert
M. Faust, WPB salvage division
director, said.
Officials estimated that each
housewife should be able to turn
in minimum of one pound of
used fats a month.

NORTH AFRICA:
DeGauIIists Object

New flames were ignited under
the bubbling cauldron of political
dissatisfaction in North Africa
when Marcel Peyrouton, veteran
French politician and former Vichy
minister of the interior, was named
governor general of Algeria.
The appointment rekindled the
popular alarm which was felt when
Darlan first took office. The Fight
ing French at once jumped on the
appointment, terming Peyrouton a
former Fascist sympathizer. Head
quarters of the DeGaulle forces re-
called that in April, 1941, Peyroo-
ton said that "0nly madmen believe
in a British victory" The London
Daily Herald called it a political
blunder Of the first water. Peyrou-
ton is distrusted by Frenchmen of
all parties ="
Added to this confusion was the
fact that the Allies soon must de-
eide on a supreme commander for
the showdown with the Axis in
North Africa. The decision prob
ably will be hastened by the rapid
telescoping Of the Tunisian and
Libyan fronts.

LIBYAN DRIVE:
Attack Tempo Increased

As aerial activity flared over a
wide area of the Tripolitanian
front the British eighth army con-
tinued its headlong assault against
Field Marshal Rommel's fleeing but
still intact forces.
An early British advance carried
one of two attacking columns to
within less than 80 miles of Tripoli
closer than Rommel came to AL
exandria last summer.
Gen. b. L. Montgomery's most
advanced column had driven Axis
forces from Benz Ulid and was in
contact with the enemy near Tar
huna, only 40 miles southeast of
Tripoli. The second British column
drove along the coastal road, reach
ing a spot 80 miles east of Tripoli.
Even as the British pushed on,
many observers were of the opinion
that Rommel had decided or had
been ordered, to forget Tripoli and
attempt to get into Tunisia to join
Col. Gen. Juergen Won Arnim in a
stand against the Allied assault
from both sides.

NEW GUINEA:
Victory in Papud

Climaxing a series of attacking
movements by American and Aus
tralian infantry units, Allied
ground forces captured Sanananda
Point and Sanananda Village on the
northeastern coast of New Guinea.
The capture of Sanananda Point
between previously captured
Coma and Buna-took the last re-
naming strong japanese point in
that area. The remaining Japs were
left in pockets about mile west of
Sanananda, faced with nothing
more than suicide action.
Aerial action saw Allied bombers
sink an 8,000-ton Japanese cargo
ship in the Bismarck sea and blast
enemy airports and installations
over a wide area of the Southwest
Pacific.
Jap forces were cut into bits by
Australian and American patrols
reaching almost every corner Of the
swampy area. Japan's last remain
ing strength in Papua had been
decimated. Enemy outposts were
little more than handfuls of troops,
waiting an almost certain end.

BIRTH-TO-GRAVE:
Social Security

President Roosevelt is scheduled
to receive from the department of
labor a greatly broadened-birth-
to-grave-social security plan. This
was revealed by Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins at a New York
Town Hall meeting. She said adop-
tion of such a plan would provide
larger benefits including greater
old age pensions, payments for all
employment Interruptions and ma
ternity and funeral benefits.
Premiums would Increase pro-
gressively to an amount equal to 10
per cent Of the workers paycheck.
During the first stages of the
plans operation these premiums
would be paid jointly by the en-
ployer and employe, much like the
present social security program.
Then as the number of old age
benefit recipients increased beyond
the amount collected the govern
ment would step in to pay a share
Of the benefits.
