Many soldiers, when sickness or
death occurs at home, find that they
have to wait an agonizingly long time
for an emergency furlough while the
Army cheeks their requests - often
arriving home too late. 1t is obvious
that the Army, dealing with millions
of soldiers, cannot give an emergency
furlough to every soldier who asks
for one without investigation. The
Army, therefore, has turned the job
of checking such requests over to the
American Red Cross.
What usually happens when trotble
comes is that the relative telephones
or telegraphs the soldier telling him
of the difficulty. The soldier then

if the soldiers presence is necessary.
This procedure requires considerable
time; occasionally, days.
Such delay could be avoided Il
every soldier will Immediately write
home and tell his relatives that, if
trouble comes, they should have their

go themselves to the local Red Cross
which will check on the necessity of
the soldiers coming home. If ths

The skin that looked so lovely dur

takes on a sickly, grayish tone with
the coming of autumn sure sign
that it is asking for clarifying treat
ment to brighten and tighten it.
Makeup alone simply won't do the
trick, but the faithful use of mild
bleaching cream for four or five
weeks would go a long way toward
bringing your skin to lovely, clear
translucency.

tensity of light and emotion, so does
human skin change color. But with
humans III e actual change Of skir
color from light to dark can be di-
rectly traced to the action of the light
rays of the sun on the pigment cells
in the skin. Since the body forms
pigment to protect it froa burning
by these rays, the more intense the
light rays are, the more pigment is
formed. Consequently, the darker
the skin has become during the sum-
mer months, the longer it will take
it to revert back to its natural tone.
So if we simply let nature take its
course, we must expect to go through
long. long period when tn e skin
seems to acquire an unbecomiug gray

bleaching cream can come to the res
cue. Needless to say, the action of

The Standings
YoIe Intends
 To Keep Hockey

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 18-Ogden D. Miller, director of athletics at Yale, announced today that plans have been formed for the continua- tion of the hockey program at the university, and an attempt is being made to schedule games for varsity team.
 The program, however, will be a modified one with the stress being placed on intramural competition, and the varsity will be chosen from members of the Navy and civilian colleges entered in the league. Trainees at the three colleges taken over by the Army will not be eligible for varsity service, although they will take part in the intramural loop.
 Coach Murray Murdoch, hockey's famed Iron Man" who in the eleven years he was with the New York Rangers never missed single con test, has his work cut out for him as only one member of his 38 man. squad last year will be available.
 The single veteran is 20-year old Capt. Archer Harmon, Jr., of Con- cord, Mass, regular defense man on the 1942-43 team. Although two other members of last winters team, Ed Swift, goalie; and Don Boyn- ton, center, are still at Yale, they are members of the Army training program and not eligible for service rrLa rnct oT fIa cn,,oS uroc iy,d,,ntn5 into various branches of the armed forces and the youths are stationed elsewhere.
 Good Coach
 This will mark Murdoch'S sixth year at Yale and during that period he has compiled highly impressive record his clubs having won the Big-Three championship twice, tied for 1t once and lost last year to Harvard in the playoffs.
 The 1942-43 record included a pair of victories over both the United States Military Academy and Prince ton, Boston University, Clarkson, Springfield and Harvard. while Yale dropped a game to the Cantabs, were beaten twice by Dartmouth and once by Boston College.
 Taking part in the nine-team in- tramural loop will be four colleges in which Navy trainees are quarter ed, three taken over by the Army and two civilian units. With the exception of the Army branches, the varsity team will be drawn from the colleges, but the members will 'lso tske part in the intramural competition.
 The college games will be played st the New Haven Arena on week day afternoons while the home var sity contests will be played at the same place on Saturday nights.
 Although all of his regulars have been lost via one route or another Murdoch will have several members of last years freshman sextet for service. They are Lou Bartlett. Bruce Norris, son of the owner of the Detroit Red Wings of the Ma tional Hockey league; Jack Set right, Tommy Hammer, Glib Kilt ridge, Harry Sturges, Bill Saunders, Ed Starr, Frank Parcells and Ray Eusden.

 HUTS0N, B AU 6 H PR 0 LEADERS

Chicago, Nov, 17-(SpeciaD Sid Luckman's two new National Foot ball league records against the New York Giants Sunday were more than enough to keep him ahead of Sammy Baugh, the Washington vet eran, in the race for the forward passing championship.
 Luckman, completing 21 out of 32 passes for new record totals of 433 yards and seven touchdowns, now needs only two more touch- down passes in two games to break the all-time mark for one season. Baugh also needs only average one per game for the remainder of the Redskins schedule to tie the mark of 24 established by Cecil Isbell las: season.
 While Luckman was setting rec ords despite an injured shoulder, his teammate, Harry Clark, was running into the ground gaining lead by getting 81 yards against the Giants to displace Tony Canadeo of Green Bay. Canedeo, who was held to 38 yards by the Chicago Cardi- nals, now has 424 to 465 for Clark. Clark also entered a three-way tie for second place in scoring behind Don Hutson, the defending cham pion. by going over twice against the Giants. He has 48 points.
 Average 9.6 Points
 Hutson increased his scoring lead from seven to 30 points by making 23 points, including three touch- downs, against the Cardinals. His total for eight games is 78, It was the seventh time in his professional career that Hutson has scored three touchdoWns in a game. The Green Bay veterans also doubled his lead in pass receiving, catching six against the Cardinals to bring his season total to 33.
 Baugh took first place among punters again, nudging Harry Hopp of Detroit, back to second in the standings. Baugh got off ten punts against Detroit for an average of 51.9 yards per kick, including one prodigious effort of 81 yards, the longest of the season.

TorheeIs' Young Coach Of Week
BY OSCAR FRALEY Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Limited FreSS SLau COFTcSpOHuchtJ
 New York, Nov. 17.-(UP)-Tom Young of North Carolina was a high school football coach until two years ago but has proved in his first year as head man at his alma mater that there's nothing juvenile about his gridiron teachings.
 Young clinched that point-and designation as the United Press coach of the he-week-when his tar heels upset favored Pennsylvania, g to 6, at Franklin Field on Saturday.
 Penn, which had beaten such foes as Princeton. Yale, Dartmouth and Columbia, tied Army and lost only to Navy, was an overwhelming choice. North Carolina had lost to Georgia Tech and Duke, defeating Penn State, Jacksonville, North Carolina State and South Carolina. But Tom led his tarheels to one of the most resounding upsets of the season.
 Boys Get Credit
 Asked what lay behind his clubs best performance of the year, the former star tarheel halfback of 1925- '27 replied:
 well, reckon the boys just de- cided to go to work and play some football. And they are the ones who deserve the credit"
 But there's a general belief that Young may have had something to do with it. too.
 Following graduation, he coached for one year at Monroe, N. C., high school and then tutored at Lexing- ton. N. C., high school from 1930-41 during that time he turned out some of the best schoolboy elevens n the south. his teams going undefeate6 for three consecutive years in 1888, '39 and 40.
 Young returned to his alma mater as backfield coach in 1a42 and when head coach Jim Tatum was com- missioned lieutenant in the Navy, Young was boosted to the drivers seat.
 He teaches the single wing system and stresses blocking, tackling and other fundamentals. He had an 80- man quaC at the start of the season but midway through. lost half his players through Navy transfers. Ills big V-12 juggernaut had dropped two of it's games-but his new team of jay-veeS and freshmen hasn't lost a gam since takiro over.
 Has Fun
 Young. who prefers to lead his men instead of drivino them. has a teen sense of humor. The week be- fore the Penn State game al] V-1' players were home on furlough. He had 16 civilians out for practice ard simply scrimmaged the left side of the line aea'nst the rieht with a 1rawling remark that This reminds me of my hiqh school days"
 In practice he wears a ragged pair of 11-vear-old baseball pants.
 There's 106 wins and only l2 losses in these pants" he chuckled, "and I'm not going to tempt the fates by casting them aside now"

Ten Teams Set For Industrial Hoop League
NAUCATUCK'S RANGERS FACE ANNEX SUNDAY

The much talked about return game between the undefeated and united New Haven Annex md the once-beaten and once-tied Nauga- tuck Rangers will be staged at Ham, ilton park field next Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock. Final details of the big event were completed late last night via phone between Man ager Maurice Burke of the Annex and Manager George Allen of the Naugatuck outfit. It will be a home" game for the New Haven aggregation which already holds an Is to 6 decision over the Allenmen.
 The much discussed clash has been hanging fire for several days due to the fact that the Naugatuck club demanded guarantee ot $20O whereas the borough management had paid Lut $l00 to the Annex on their initial appearance at Ham ilton park which was on invitation of the Rangers. The first game was played here because the officials in charge of Recreation field in Nau- eatuck refused to give the Allen men a confirmation on the rental due to the fact that the borough high school team was anticipating a Sunday game.
 Agreeable
 However, the Rangers, losers 10 the Annex and tied by the Merloen Contelcos whom the Annex smeared 3l to 0 last Sunday, having lost much of their prestige and anxious to play in w lterbury where visit ing teams have been paid higher guarantees than anywhere eise i'll the state, were finally accepted by the Annex last night as an oppon- ent for Coach George Coughllns "powerhousers" this coming week. end.

Derwin claims that he has never heard of any Connecticut Yankees other than Rudy Vallee's old crew of music makers of radio fame and suggests that Babe" get a leputa- tion before looking for booking at the Hamilton park field.

Registered U. S. Patent Oflice)
By JACK CUDDY


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Nov. 17 (U.P) - When the year-end reviews are written next month, statistics are expected to show that horse racing, professional football and profession al boxing enjoyed unusual prosper ity during 1943; whereas major league baseball and college football fell of in attendance, and college basketball was about normal.
 Racing unquestionably enjoyed its most fabulous year because of the public's Stepped-up war prosperity which enabled small-time around the-corner bettors to meet the rather high admissions at the tracks, and enabled the normal $200 mutuel bettor to boost his wagers to $500 or $10.000 on a race.
 Professional football, generally played on Sunday, provided vel come diversion for thousands of busy wartime workers, who were unable to break loose from their jobs on other days.
 But the apparent prosperity of professional boxing-not its mere survival-seems to us the biggest sports surprise of our global wars second year. No sport has been harder hit, from the manpower ..rgle. Most of the name fighters are in service, including champions of every division above the light weights. Lack of big-name fighters prevented Mike Jacobs from staging any outdoor New York shows dur ing the summer.
 Yet, we can not recall year when boxing f1ourished in so many cities and towns throughout the country. National weekly fight schedules-though they merely skim the cream-are beginning to resem- ble gazeteers.
 Prelim Boys On Top
 This widespread fistic activity pre- vails although the game has lost temporarily large and choice sec- tion of its fans-the millions of young men now in service. It pre- vails also despite the fact that there are no million-dollar matches-no great pugilistic extravaganzas - to stimulate national boxing enthu- siasm. Half of the lads now fighting main events would be down in the preliminaries in normal times.
 Moreover, boxing shows, staged at night, still must compete with nor nal nocturnal attractions = the
