OF the National Leag1e season. The
Giants, putting on a great defensive
display, scored in every period to
hand the Packers their second shut

veteran guard, was a powerhouse
in the line as the once-beaten New
York team battered the Green Bay
line and bottled up the veteran Don

the river and a lone robin hopping
across the lawn carried the color

whether to go forward or back

intruder on his own property. Dan
was pointing out the various points

Downed Pilot Tries
eyes of Texas" On
Jungle Inhabitants

Or an island somewhere in the
South Pacific, islanders have added
the familiar strains of "The Eyes of
Texas" to the repertoire of their ma
tive songs and chants.
The impresario for this musical
importation was Lieutenant George
P Sanders, Marine Corps pilot from
Pawhuska, Okla.
Sanders spent Is days in the jun
gle as an involuntary tourist after a
Jap anti-aircraft shell hit his plane
during a strafing mission against
enemy installations.
Eight days after padding ashore,
and after experiences which in
cluded running a dead heat with an
alarmed crocodile, Sanders reached
a native settlement. His account of
the reception follows:
For some reason the natives
wanted to give me some presents, so
about so gathered around and gave
me a quantity of beads, sea shells,
and the like. l shook hands all
around, gave each of them a cigaret.
They sang lot of songs and taught
them The Eyes of Texas I had
to sing it to them about six times,
but they got it pretty well. We had
a great time"
Lieutenant Sanders landed near
the island when the oil pressure in
his engine dropped to zero after the
ack-ack struck He bobbed around
offShore in his rubber boat until
nightfall to escape possible Jap pa
trolls, then padded ashore. Keeping
a wary eye out for the Japs-of
whom he saw several-Sanders or
ganized ration supply of coconuts,
oysters, and small tender crabs.
THAT night" he relates in his ac-
count, 81 had to chase a crocodile
out of the place 1 had prepared to
sleep in. He was easy to scare, SO
I lay down and he went off into the
jungle where 1 could hear him 60
ing chop, chop with his jaws.
However, I rolled over and acct
dentally rustled some leaves, and he
started running towards me fast.
Both of us were scared, and it was
a race-I was running for tree and
he was trying to get to the water.
Each of us made our objective-and
I saw no more of him.
From my experience there was
nothing to be afraid of in the jun
gle" Sanders said-"and the croco-
diles didn't bother me except the
time when I got between that one
and water"
For the well equipped jungle
however, this leatherneck
aviator recommends razor blades
not for five o'clock shadow, but for
trading with the natives.
From now on, I'm going to carry
10 or II packages of them in my
pack"
