The following story was pre-
scented to me for use in this column
by Florence Shirk. Bill Stern,
sports commentator, used it in a
broadcast:
Dwight Eisenhower, American
commander of the Allied forces in
Europe, spent his boyhood days in
a little town in Kansas. He was
a comedy lad, strong and virile, fill
ed with the spirit of an athlete.
He liked boxing best, and his am
bition and skilled technique soon
made him the champion of the town.
One day there came to town an
other young man, who bore the
reputation of a professional boxer
and soon he learned of the ambi-
tious young Eisenhower. A match
was arranged and both fought so
well and squarely that they became
fast friends. They were soon dis
cussing plans for the future. Eisen-
hover desired to go to college but
the other wanted to pursue boxing
as a career. Eisenhower persuaded
friend to acquire high schooling
and then enter college, which he
later did at Notre Dame under his
true name of Knute Rockne.

 CONTESTS PLAYED
(Bv Associated Press)

tDN fAoSONiaANu hSoof
 New Years Day bowl fixtures began to fill up as Ohio State, Tennessee. Southern California, Texas Christian and the Oklahoma Aggies rolled up important vic tories in the last full Saturday Of the 1e44 football campaign.
 Ohio State teetered on the brink of it's first defeat before getting off the floor to whip Michigan, l8 to IA, thus copping the Big Ten title and finishing it's first perfect season since 1920, with nine straight victories. Les Havorth scored the winning touchdown from the one-yard line with only three minutes and l6 seconds to Igo, after the Wolverines twice ral- lied and forged ahead.
 If the Western Conference gives the go-ahead signal at their special meeting, the Buckeyes will prob ably go to Pasadena for January date with Southern California, which assured itself of the crown by downing UCLA, 40 to 13. Tennessee is understood to be in line for the West Coast bid if the Ohio lads do not go, having completed an unbeaten season by trouncing Kentucky, 2l to 2. The Vols were tied, 0 to o, in mid season by Alabama after smother ing Oklahoma, 28 to 6.
 The Oklahoma Aggies received the Cotton Bowl invitation to op- pose Texas Christian, which cap tured the Southwest Conference Championship, shading Rice, to 6. Georgia Tech, assured of the Orange Bowl berth, fell before a rejuvinated Notre Dame, 2l to o, Saturday.
 Tulsa and its Miami opponent were idle Saturday, after flattening Arkansas on Thursday. Number one upset was Missis- sippis l3 to margin over favored Mississippi State.
 Bainbridge boosted it's ranking for the leading service team by stopping h g h y regarded Camp Peary, 2l to l3, for its second perfect season.
 The Iowa Seahawks recovered from a shaky start and smothered Iowa, 30 to 6.
 Fort Pearce blanked Jacksonville Navy, 21 to 0.
 Both Army and Navy were idle Saturday before their battle of the decade" on Saturday. Duke, although defeated four times, stuck in the running for a possible bowl bid, running up a B to 0 count on North Carolina, and Yale completed the season without a defeat but had to settle for a to 6 tie with Virginia in the finale.

SKIING

The first skiing of the season was found yesterday in the area above the Upper Ski Cabin by a rugged and younger group of skiers who went all the way to the high ridges on top of Douglas Island. Although the snow in most localities was wind-crusted, patches of the white stuff were discovered which afforded excellent skiing.
 The Douglas Ski Trail was frozen all the way to the Upper Cabin and conditions were good for hiking. Skiers carried their skis to above the cabin. The new snow falling to- day on the frozen muskegs and the Slalom Area is likely to stay all winter Ski Club officials state.
 A group of skiers from the Juneau Ski Club worked on the woodshed at the Upper Ski Cabin yesterday. Three sides of the woodshed had been stripped of shakes by vandals during the summer months and were patched with canvas and lathes.
 The following skiers spent Satur- day night at the Ski Cabin: Chuck DeGanahl, Linn Forrest, Jr., Jim Rude, Bill Carlson, Earl Grass, Jack O'Connor, and Bill Schmitz. They were joined Sunday by Mary Sperl- ing, Nathylie Bailey, Dorothy Thibo- deau, Minard Mill, Pat Hogue, Herb Mead, Irma Johnson and Leon Alex ander.
