For the benefit of those who
might not have seen the De-
cember 18th issue Of Look
magazine, which gave the emf
nent sports writer and com
mentator. Bill Stern's All
American selections for the
current year, the sports department
brings this to your attention.
On his team, Stern selected Two
Negroes. They were William Bill
Willis and Claude Buddy" Young.
Willis is a native Of Columbus,
Ohio, and this was his final year
with the Ohio State Buckeyes, where
be has been a varsity Iineman for
the past three years. Bill has always
been considered as one of the out
standing tackles in the Western Con-
ference, which is one of the best i'll
the country and is commonly known
as the Big Ten
Willis was named as member OS
The Associated Press second team
and was first stringer on the con-
ference squad, which enjoyed an un-
defeated season.
Claude Young, known to thou
sands of gridiron fans as Buddy"
only, halls from the Windy City"
and was a track as well as football
star while attending Phillips High
School. AS a freshman at Illinois,
he had great year and was one of
the country's leading ground-gain-
ers. Young is labelled as one of the
fastest men ever to play football.
He does the 100-yard dash in e:5
seconds. Young can be classed as a
t t-iple- e-threater, since he ran, caught
passes, and was an efficient passer.
His speed proved to be invaluable in
his gridiron career, due to his light
weight. He tips the scales at only
165 pounds.
In the last game of the season
(and probably his last game for
quite some time, since he expects
to be drafted soonJl against North
western, Young tied the all-tilne
Illinois scoring record held by Red"
| Grange. The Flash" of the pigskin
world went into the game with only
two touchdoWns needed to tie this
record that had existed since 1924.
This he accomplished by scoring in
] the first quarter from the 6yard
liIle, where the took lateral from
Don Greenwood and Skirted his own
right end for the tally. This termi-
mated a 69-yard drive. The second
score came in the second period,
when he galloped from the 9 to pay
dirt and the tying Of a record 20
years old.
Bill Stern made the following
statement when questioned about
Young, after the Illinois-Ohio State
game: Young is q runner, while
Horvath is more an all around man.
They are both great. If they were
both in the same backfield, no team:
in the country could stop them.
Buddy is q great climax runner
Give him an inch and he'll go. a
hundred yards. He's the fastest
thing in cleats and the runner of the
year."
Young was also named on the All
Big Ten team, but wasn't named
anywhere on the AP teams.

FORT COLLINS. Colo, Aug. 12.-
After raging out of control all day,
a fire in Roosevelt National Forest,
so airline miles west of Fort Collins,
appears to be developing into one of
the worst blazes in Colorado in
many years.
Forest Service officials said last
night the flames had spread LIZ or
2 miles in an easterly direction on a
front nearly a mile wide. They esti-
mated that almost 1000 acres Of
timber have been destroyed in the
day and half since the blaze was
discovered
The mountainous scene of the fire
is $500 to 10000 feet in altitude.
Two hundred soldiers from Fort
Francis E. Warren were expected to
reach the fire front early last night
and Forest Service officials asked
Army authorities at Denver to send
500 more men as soon as possible.

The Japanese have executed three
American prisoners of war on a
charge that they killed a police Of
ficer after escaping from prison
camp in Manchurfa.
The Navy, disclosing details of
the deaths yesterday, said the jap
anese Foreign ONCE had relayed the
information through the Red Cross
in response to request for infor-
nation.
The sentence of death, imposed
by military court, was carried out
July 81, 1913.
Those executed, the Navy said,
were:
Marine Sergt. Joe B. Chastain. "a,
Waco, Tex; Marine Corpl. Victor
Paliotti, %, Cranston. r. l., and Sea-
man Frank Meringolo, 81, Brook

the case:
Headed for Russia.
Held captive in a Manchurian
prison camp, the three escaped on
June 81, 1943, and headed for the
Russian border.
For IL days they sought to get out
OF japanese territory, but finally
lack OF food made them desperate.
lhey halted police inspector and
asked Tor something to eat, asserting
that they were German flyers whose
plane had crashed. The inspector
and two Mongol companions in
sisted on seeing the crashed plane.
En- route, according to the jap

Stricter Control
OF Local Manpower
Awaits VINO RuIinq

The Washington manpower ONCE
will decide next month whether the
more drastic controls provided for
In the VINO directive made public
Thursday will have to be applied
here. Area Director Ernest v. Con-
molly said today.
VINO officials want to see how
the departure for school Of thou
sands of employed young people will
affect the supply OF workers here
and what the autumn manpower
needs of the essential and locally
needed firms will be.
It may be necessary, Mr.. Connolly
said, to reduce the employment CELL
ings of less essential Arms, but these
firms probably would not be forced
to release workers. They simply
would not be able to make replace
ments for certain number of the
workers they lose.
Less essential firms already are
complaining that they can't get
enough workers, Mr.. Connolly said :

from which to draw them.
He pointed out that manpower
controls in Washington already are

country since women as we'll as men

apply to all Arms rather than only
to those with eight or more en-
ployes.
