AMPHIBS DEFEAT
CREMLINS, 7-6

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 3.-(P)-Big
Bill Daley paced the Giant Fort
Pierce Navy Amphibs football team
to rs victory over the Third Air
Force Gremlins before an estimat-
ed 1000 shivering fans at Phil
lips Fielo today.
His brilliant 61yard touchdown
run in the final 80 seconds Of the
first half, followed by Les Bruck-
er's perfect placement for the ex-
ira point, gave the Arnphibs their
margin of victory, and a perfect
record of eight wins this season.
But despite his fine perform
ance, which overshadowed the ef-
forts of Charlie Trippi, ace of he
Gremlins, the former Minnesota
and Michigan all-American almost
threw the game away in the final
SIX minutes when he fumbled on
the six yard stripe and set the
stage for the Grenlins touch
down, bullet pass from Trippi
to Ted Cook. Guard Bop Ivory was
the alert Grem who fell on the
ball.
1t was the b-uising Navy line
that won the ball game and, ex-
cept for their one scoring oppor-
tunity, the Gremlins never had a
chance. They neotiated exactly So
yards through the Amphib line,
and made So yards through the
air, by far their poorest perform
ance of the season.
Capt. Quinn Decker, head coach
OF the Gremlins said after the
game that his team had no ex-
cuses.
"They were just too tough for
u.s." he said. daley is a fine ball
player and great competitor, and
that Fort Pierce line is one of the
best I have seen. I believe the
Fort Pierce team is stronger than
Great Lakes, one o. the teams that
licked us, but I don't think they
are quite as powerful as Randolph
Field, our other conquero1.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. Up -
Four government agencies dispos
ed of $26,772,00O of surplus wa,

mere couple of years ago. He ex.

quick, clean pickup of the feet
would be much in Haegg's favor

To his disadvantage indoors
would be his long, looping stride.
He will have to learn to shorten
the stride on the turns if he
doesn't want to lose valuable yard
age by running wide. An expert

the bank of the turn to gain no

how to hug the rail.
Gil Dodds, who, along with Jim

MARAUDERS, 1873

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Dec. 3.-(R)
The never-beaten cambridge foot
ball team completed it's second
straight perfect season today with
two fourth period touchdowns
which submerged the resolute
Maxwell Field Marauders 1873.
1t was Coach Joe Maniaci's 18th
consecutive victory as mentor of
the ex-professionals and former
college players, and kept intact his
record of never coaching a loser.
cambridge started its uninter-
rupted victory string with a go
win over Camp Lejeune in 1913
and roared through six more
games that season and 10 straight
this year with only occasionally
serious opposition.
Maxwell Field today was one of
the exceptions. Helped by Doggy
field that cut into the Commo-
dores' efficiency, the Alabama
Flyers tied up cambridge for two
periods and took a 80 lead in the
third on perfect field goal boot
ed from II yards out by Joe
Stringfellow.
A cambridge 54-yard offensive
spearheaded by Harry (Hippety)
Hopp and Charley Justice begged
down on Maxwell Fields 20 after
the succeeding kickoff, and Hopp
punted into the end zone.
Maxwell Field failed to 60 and
a punt by Clement to Bainbridge's
81 set the stage for Hops So
yard touchdown canter early in
the fourth period.
1t was Bainbridge's second win
OF the year over Maxwell Field,
the Commodores having turned the
trick 15-7 at Montgomery, Ala,
several weeks ago.

200. 900 BOY SCOUTS START
WASTE PAPER DRIVE

Thousands of Boy Scouts and Cubs
throughout the country opened the
intensive twoamonth nationwide
waste paper collection drive August
/, the War Production Board an
nounces.
Included in this group are 216,677
members of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea from rural communities with a
population of less than $500. These
rural communities have total of
1O,43O Boy Scout troops and 1,419
Cub Packs.
Each Scout troop or Cub Pack col
lecting an average of 1000 pounds
of waste paper per boy during the
drive will receive War Production
Board Certificate of Merit, signed by
WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson
In addition, lapel badge will be pre-
sented individually to all Scouts and
Cubs who succeed in collecting 1000
pounds or more Of waste paper in
the two-month period ending Septem-
Der 80.
The proceeds from sales of the
waste paper collected will go into
Boy Scout troop funds to purchase
camping and other equipment.
The new drive was organized by
National Boy Scout Headquarters
and tke WPB Salvage Division in
order to offset a decline expected in
waste paper collections during the
late summer months. Boy Scouts can
strike a real blow for victory by par
ticipating as fully and effectively as
possible in the collection of waste
paper, which, Chairman Nelson says.
is still the No. 1 war material short
age in the United States.
An average of $4,000 tons of
waste paper a month must be collect
ed and moved to paper mills in order
to meet the paper requirements for
military and essential civilian needs.

TAX REFUND DUE HOME
OWNERS UNDER PROPOSED
AMExNNrDnrr,nyu,
AMENDMENT

More than 100000 home own
ers who dwell in the homes they own
would receive over 1917, 100000 in
income tax allowances each year un.
der the terms of bill which has
been introduced by representative
Fred A. Hartley of New Jersey
Because of hitherto overlooked
inequity in the Federal tax laws,
home owner who rents his dwelling
may deduct from his gross income
ON his Federal income tax return a
sum equal to three per cent of the
value of his house for depreciation,
while the resident home owner is al
lowed no such deduction.
Thus the home owner whose fam
lily occupies the premises, and who
plans on giving his family roots in
a neighborhood is unfairly penalized,
Representative Hartley points out in
the August issue of House Beautiful
magazine.
Expressing confidence his measure
will be enacted into law, Hartley de-
clared that every Congressman with
whom he had discussed the matter
has agreed the discrimination against
the resident home owner is unfair.
"Most students of real estate tax
alton believe the regulation is an
oversight, pure and simple, in the
original law" he said. "It just never
has been corrected because nobody
thought enough about it,"
"Our government encoura
home ownership as a means to bet
ter citizenship, and has set up some
fine agencies to help increase the
number of citizens who have stake
in their communities, their counties,
their states, and, indeed, the whole
nation.
Every added burden put upon
home owners is a encouragement
to homecoming.

ley urged home owners throughout
the country to write their Congress

sure CHR. 1856 which is now be-

GREATER FIRE PROTECTION
ON NATIONS FARMS

The war has helped point up the
value of greater fire protection on
the nations farms.
Every year millions of dollars of
necessary machinery, buildings and
stock go up in smoke. Offering a
serious threat to full food produc-
ton.
According to the Gypsum Associa-
ton, which has enlisted alongside
the government to help prevent fire
destructiveness in agricultural areas,
failure to utilize existing fireproofing
safeguards is among the causes of
quite a number of the countrys farm
fires.
The average farm dwelling has
only a minimum of fire prevention
features, association officials assert
ed. A few comparatively inexpensive
preventive measures at the time of
building, or installed later, and eau
ton in the use and care of infiam-
mable materials should greatly re-
duce the loss of property and life,
they explained.
Information gathered by the gov
eminent shows that a clear space of
$50 feet between important struc-
lures is good insurance against ig-
milton by heat radiated from large
fires. Heat from barn filled with
hay, for example, will fire a building
at distance of less than SO feet, and
may even occur at 100 feet or more. !"
Laying the cause of cluttered farm
structures to a desire to save time
in daily chores, the association cited
that the increased fire hazards often
wipe out the accumulated profits of
years.
Brush or grass fires may be guard
ed against by strip of clean sod or
few freshly plowed burrows at the
season when these fires usually oc-
