Gunnison, member of the camp
committee agreed whole-heartedly
to this. But he refused later in
vitation for the American soft
ballers to meet a japanese team on
April 81, to celebrate the emperor's s
birthday Gunnison and his mates
emphasized that the Japs had pre-
vented the Americans from cele-
brating the previous Fourth of
July; consequently they would con-
tribute nothing to the emperor's 5

of the teams with the Separators
and the Cabinets being tied for first
place and the Barrels running a
very close second. That's the way
the race has narrowed down with
just one more week left in the first
half of the current season. All the
rest of the teams are definitely out
of the running and just might as
well save themselves for the next
half. The present standing of the
teams is a credit to the committee
which was criticized at the begin
ming of the season when it appeared
that the team selection was little
one-sided. Ensign Dick Lowman
Joined us last week and, in spite of
a years absence from the alleys, got

Lost II Days in
Ocean, Cackle of
Hen Saves Filler
Balls Out From Defective
Plane and Sails Raft to
Lonely Island.

CBICAGO.-Mr. and Mrs. william
I. Coffeen have known for some time
that their son, William Coffeen Jr.,
was rescued after being missing in
action u days in the Southwest Pa
cific, but the other day they learned
for the first time the story of his
heroic fight against fever, starva-
ton and storms; and how lonely,
cackling hen helped save his life.
"Bill wasn't what you'd call a
husky boy" said the elder Coffeen.
''He was feet IL inches tall, but
weighed only $50 pounds. But he
was why, and could take it."
Paddles Raft to Isle.
Young Coffeen, % years old, and
native Chicagoan, is staff SER
geant in the marine air force in
which he enlisted on June IA, 1899,
a few days after his graduation from
st. Patrick's high school. He tough
ened himself there by playing foot
ball. His brother, Ed, a flying ma
rine corporal, is also in the South
west Pacific, and they've missed
seeing each other by margins of only
two hours or less.
The story of Sergeant Coffeen's u
day ordeal was told in a delayed
dispatch from Sergt. Harry Bolser
of Louisville, KY, a marine combat
correspondent on Guadalcanal.
A smoking motor and an oil leak
forced Coffeen to bail out from his
plane on April 10. He padded for
more than day in a small rubber
life raft before reaching an island.
There he gathered coconuts, drank
the liquid and ate the meat-his first
nourishment in nearly 48 hours.
The island was not inhabited so
Sergeant Coffeen set out in his raft
for another. One day he spotted a
reed rooted house. II didn't care
whether it was occupied by natives,
Japs or whites" he related. II was
nearing the end of my endurance. "
He padded for the island and house.
Cackle Guide to Eggs.
The house was vacant, but looking
around the Chicagoan heard a
SdCh1Ss 6OOhlllS dlOIulu la IlACA hS
came upon lonely hen setting upon
a dozen eggs. Coffeen ate several
eggs, the first real food in 20 days.
He remained at the house five days,
feasting on eggs. Meantime mos
quito bite gave him malaria. But
undaunted, Coffeen poked around
other islands, searching for food
and rescuers. Finally, he was
caught in storm.
''Then I passed out" said Coffeen.
The next he remembered he was in
the arms of native who said:
"American-you good" Those were
the best words he had ever heard,
related Coffeen, because then he
knew he was safe. Final rescue did
not, however, come for 40 days, dur
ing which time natives nursed him
back to health. On the 72nd day
from his bail-out, navy plane
picked him up.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Notre Dame, led by Angelo Ber-
tell, bowled over Navy, SO to 6,
while two other unbeaten and I'M
tied teams, Army and Penn, strug-
gled to a 1913 tie. That was a
week ago, Saturday. Now let's see
what happened last Saturday.
The Fighting Irish, without Ber-
tell, but with Johnny Lujack, who
stepped into just about the tough
est assignment ever given youngs-
ter on the gridiron, leading the at
tack, knocked Army from the I'M
beaten ranks with smashing 26 to
0 count. While this was going on,
Navy hoped all over Penn, setting
them back on their heels to the tune
of "a to 7.
Since this is being written Satur-
day night, I don't know how the
experts will rate the teams of the
country next week, but in my book
Navy is the number two team, TAX
ing a back seat to only Frank Lea
hy's powerhouse squad.

Takes Rather Bites to
Save His Blind Master

GREAT FALLS, MONT. - Lady,
George Anderson's seeing-eye dog,
shielded her sightless 19-year-old
master from a rattlesnake's attack
by deliberately permitting the snake
to wound her.
Anderson said that while strolling
on his family's ranch with the dog,
he heard the warning buzz of rat
tier. He pulled Lady's leash but she
refused to move.
When help responded to his call,
Anderson learned that Lady had
stood directly between him and the
snake and had allowed the reptile to
strike her twice.

final whistle. Last Friday they
went up against st. James and al
though they were on the losing end
of "a to 0 score, they put up a
real scrap particularly in the fourth
quarter, which, by the way, is when
you would be expecting them to
fold up.

The Notre Dame-Army game fol-
lowed the same pattern as all other
Notre Dame games. In fact a sports
writer could just about lake his re-
port of any other game, substitute
Lujack's name for Bertelli's, in
sert Army players names for the
opposition in other games, and he
would have just about the complete
picture of last Saturdays rout. 1t
was the same old story: A slow be-
ginning; the gradual warming up of
the Fighting Irish tremendous for
ward wall-then bye bye black
bird.
My real kick, though, came from
Navy's win over Penn. Not so much
from the win itself, for I confident
ly expected the Middies to bounce
back from the Notre Dame defeat,
but from the way they did it. The
game was almost duplicate of
their rout by the Fighting Irish,
only this time Navy did the routing.
Navy's line literally crushed the
Penn forward wall and Bob Odell,
although he played his heart out all
afternoon, found himself in exactly
the spot Hal Hamberg was in the
week before.
