NOW ISOLATED

San river on Przemysl from the
north.
Southwest of Lwow the Rus
SLAMS leaped the Dnester river and
captured Halicz, IA miles north OF
|Stanislawow, gateway to the Car
pathian mountain passes.
Russian troops still were attack
ing frontally at by-passed LWoW,
Brest Litovsk and Bialystok. Ger
man reports said they already had
broken into the first two cities
and were only a few miles outside
Bialystok. The value of all these
bases to the Germans now has
been nulified by the Russian
smashes into central and southern
Poland in the Jaroslaw and Lub-
lin-LukoW areas.
At the northern emo of the front
other Russian forces attacking
west of Pskov captured Poddubye,
nine miles northwest of Pskov
and almost on the southern Esto-
MAN border.
Rokossovsky's troops in some
sectors scored 40-mile gains dur
ing the day, and Moscow dispatch
es said the Germans were fleeing
in disorder. Serving under the
marshal in the capture of Lublin
was Col. Ge2. Vastly Chuikov,
one of the heroes of Stalingrad.
Thirteen other generals were cit
ed by Premier Marshal Stain in
that victory.
BY capturing Lublin, in the geo.
graphic center of old Poland, the
Russians split the German armies
of the north and south on the east
side of the Vista and San rivers;
by topping Lukow, the shock
troops of Marshal Konstantin K.
Rokossovsky's first White Rus
sian army severed the German es-
cape railway from Brest Litovsk.
where Berlin said other Soviet
units had broken into the city.
Siedlce, only so miles east of
Warsaw and 20 miles north of Luz
kow, was given up under press
ure of the Soviet steamroller, Ber-
lin said.
With the crossing Of the San
river the Russians were from $50
to 40 miles from German Silesia
striking straight westward to-
ward Krakow on the road to Ger
many. The San was reached on a
5O-mile front from Jaroslaw north
ward, and Berlin said Jaroslaw
had been abandoned.
The German garrison in Lwow,
6O miles east Of JaroslaW, was on
its last legs apparently as Berlin
said the Russians had broken into
that stronghold.
Premier-Marshal Joseph Stain
announced the fall of Lublin and
a following communicate told of
the great strides of the Russian
armies which swept through 1881
towns and villages.

 Meanwhile the Detroit Red Wings moved ahead of the Canadiens into second place by trouncing the hap less New York Rangers. who have lost three straight. 10 to 3.
 The Leafs continued their torrid pace by coming to life in the third period at Montreal with three goals to break 1 to 1 tie. The pace set- ters displayed a well rounded at tack with four men accounting for goal apiece as they handed the defending champions their first league defeat on their home ice since the 1942-'43 season. Dave (Sweeney) Sinner added to his scoring lead with one of the last period goals and also figured in two assists.
 Rookie Jim McAtee led the Red Wings to victory over the New Workers, who so far this season have shown little improvement over the club of last year which won but six games in the entire campaign. McAtee scored three times, once in each period. The Rangers played on even terms only in the first frame which saw the teams leave the ice with the score tied at 2-2 The Wings added four to clinch the con- contest in the second and then four more for practice in the third.

Boston, Nov. g. (UP) - Henry Chmielewski's comeback effort was crowned with another success today following his three-round knockout victory over Johnny Ryan, the fast stepping Detroit soldier, who went into last nights bout unbeaten in three New England appearances.

Ryan stood toe-to-toe with Chmielewski through the third round until floor ed with a looping right hand.

ROACHE, JADE
 HEADLINER OF
 FIVE BOUT CARD
RY JOHN A. CLuNEY


 When boxing promoter can sign a reputable fighter these days, who has been tried and never found wanting, always keeps on punch- ing, and gives the fans a real, run for their money"-such promoter is fortunate ind ed; especially for his opening bout of the indoor sea- son. That's the situation tonight, when Whistling Willie Roache, the blocky little Negro featherweight who always and ever Is trying to knock his opponent in Row 10 with that lethal left-hook; puts up his hands against Victor Jade, prom ising Cleveland, Ohio Polish- Amer ican lad handled by Bob Olin and Ray Arcel of New York; two of the best known men in the boxing busi- ness. Oddly enough, Jade once ''be- longed" to Rache's manager, George Sheppard, who insists that the boy was stolen from him by Olin, a Merchant-Marine officer, where Jade is stationed in New York.
 At any rate, if Jade upholds the sentiment of his handlers and backs their words with action, the main go should be something to look for ward to.
 All Set
 Roache and his manager arrived last night, thereby relieving Promo tor Mulligan of some concern about his main bout. During the evening, the boxer and his manager got word that the Roache-Bartolo title bout (NBA), scheduled for Boston, Nov- ember IT had been indefinitely post poned because of bunged-up nose tagged on Bartolo last Tuesday in a bout with Manuel Colon of Pan- anna; the injury rated serious" by the Bartolo physician, according to report.
 Remembering Reaches fine per- formance on the Pep Costantino un- dercard at Municipal Stadium last August; and his subsequent of to l favored Ham Wiloughby in New York's Garden, Waterbury fans figure to flock to Buckingham Hall to see if Whistling Willie can do job on Jade in jig-time. He is be- ing trained by Artie Rose, one of the best New York handlers, and former second for Sal Bartolo, Billy Pet-olle, Ace Hudkins, Tony Can- zoneri, Harry Ebbets and Chalky Wright.
 Bobby Snow, Artie Donovan and Johnny Martin, all of Waterbury vii show in prelim bouts tonight, the first battle to get under way at 8:30 p. m. with the official aid of Announcer Jack Freney (WHS '07).

SconneI Back
 With YoIe As New FuIIback

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2-Six more men, four of them transfers from other colleges were added to the Yale varsity yesterday as Coach Howie Odell moved into high gear preparations for the weekend meeting with Dartmouth, a battle which will either make or break the Bulldogs claim on the Ivy League title.
 Back in the fold is fleet-footed Tommy Scannel, a promising full back with the 1943 squad, who left late in the season to join the Naval Air Corps, but is now back at Yale.
 Tommy, who was born in New Haven, now lives in Milwaukee, and prepared at the Milwaukee Country Day School. He caught the fancy of the Yale coaches last year and was starter in the last two games of the campaign.
 Scannel is 15 pounds heavier, but appears to have lost none of his finesse or any of his sizzling speed. Odell said that he will use Tommy as the fullback replacement for the sensational Roger (The Dodger) Barksdale, and transfer hard-run- ming Vandy Kirk, another freshman civilian, to the left halfback station.
 Bucknell Center
 Three other additions to the Yale squad via the transfer route are Arr mold Whittier a 190-pound fullback from the University of Rochester and his teammate Harold M. Barker guard, who weighs an even 200 pounds. Also on hand was Ed Seel, who has been the regular center this season with Bucknell. All are Ma rine trainees.
 Promoted for varsity service yes- terday were par of tackles, both Navy V-12 students who have been with the Yale junior varsity. They are Samuel Heron, a POS pounder from Sewickley, Pa. who played at Andover, and Jack Robinson, 175, whose home is in PlainSville, Ohio.
 On the road to complete recovery is regular Don Mccullough, of Stam- ford, a regular end, who did not take part in the Rochester encounter be- cause of an ankle sprain received in practice last week.
 Mccullough, however, probably will not start the game, but will be held in reserve duty for Jimmy Smith, who took over his duties in last weeks rout of the Yellowjack- cts.
 Nick Fusilli, 202-pounds of bed- rock, who was assigned here from Dartmouth under the Navy training program, will most likely get the call at the tackle vacancy as the Eli coaches have been highly impressed by the wallop he packs.
 Other starters will be Paul Walk CT at end, Dick Hollingshead at tackle, Francis Ballard and Tommy Smith at the guards, and Albert (BulD Montana at center.
 George Lon goes at quarterback. Bill Penn and little Buggy Cher at the halves and Barksdale at full back.

 Griffith said it was his opinion that the call came from ia nut the kind you'll always find in a Sit- uation like that"
 He said Leonard answered the telephone in his hotel room and was asked if he wanted to make some money.
 Hung Up
 Dutch asked the caller what he meant, and when the man said he meant by throwing the game. Leon ard hung up, and that's all there was to it." Griffith said.
 He added that no amount of money was mentioned during the conversation. No efforts were made to trace the call, Griffith said.
