named Residential Day" in honor
of neighborhood solicitors who are
expected to report more than $50,-
900 collected since their last report
of $241 900. This sum, as predicted
by Martin T.. Wiegand, residential
chairman. will make the division
the first of the District soliciting
groups to oversubscribe it's quota.
Arlington and Montgomery counties
have already oversubscribed.
Samuel H. Kaufman, campaign
chairman, deplored today the en-
phasis on quotas" in the drive If it
causes Washingtonians to lose sight
of the fact that they should give
all they can instead of just enough
to make the quota.
The goal is all that this city can
give-not the minimum standard OF

oIedoon Plays
With Michiuun

One of the finest end pros
poets to report at Michigan in
years, is the general opinion
about Ed McNeill, Wolverine
freshman end and former To-
ledo Libbey high school foot
ball star.
McNeill plays right end for
Michigan, the same position that
gained him all-state recognition
in high school. On the first play
of his first game in college
against Great Lakes, he caught
pass. A few minutes later he
scored Michigan's first 1945
touchdown. Just to assure him
selft that it wasn't all a dream,
McNeill caught another pass
from Capt. Joe Ponsetto for a
57-yard gain and another touch
down.

Deer Season
Defined

Ohio's deer season will open
December 3 this year and will
continue six days through De-
cember 8.
Emphasis on these dates was
requested this week by Commis-
sioner Don Waters who said that
some misunderstanding existed
concerning the opening and clos
ing dates. Mr.. Waters also en-
phasized the fact that buckshot
are positively forbidden this
year and that shotguns loaded
only with single balls or slugs
are legal firearms. Bows and
arrows also are permitted.
Hunting will be limited to
Adams, Pike and Scioto counties
and each hunter must have a
permit now available upon ap-
plication at each of the seven
conservation district offices in
the state.

pitcher, Claude Passeau, held
the mighty Tigers to one lone
hit.
However, Detroit, through the
herculean efforts of Hank Green
berg, made their chances even
and played good ball to make
the standings three games
apiece. Then came a day of
rest. 1t was a great break for
Detroit as it gave their ace
pitcher, Hal Newhouser, one
more day to rest his million
dollar arm. The Tiger hopes
rested with their choice of start
ing pitcher and manager Steve
O'Neil chose his ace left-hander
to oppose the best the Cubs had
to offer, Hank Borowy. Detroit
could have called upon Over
mire, or Al Benton for the start
ing assignment. 4
When the series was almost
over, the Cubs held an edge over
their rivals in both batting and
fielding, although the teams
were tied with three games
apiece. Then Detroit opened up
on Hank Borowy and nicked
him for nine hits, resulting in
nine runs. But the Cubs were
not to be outdone in hits, for
they gathered ten of them, but
they were scattered and were
good for only three runs.
Hal NeWhouser can easily be
classed as the hero of the series
and especially the last game
when he struck out nine oppos-
ing batsmen and gave up but
one base on balls. He was the
master throughout the game. but
he received very good support
from his teammates who had
put one error chalked against
them, that one being committed
by Newhouser himself in the
first inning.
1t was reported that ticket
scalpers did right well on tick
cts. Pasteboards which original
ly sold for $7.20 were at a pre-
MUM and exchanged hands at
the phenomenal price of S1OO
to $3.50 each. Those who handled
these high priced tickets saw
that they could have sold a
thousand times as many of the
coveted admission tickets, such
was the demand for them.

High School
Football Near
Mid-SeuSon

At this writing, the Waite
High School Indians are holding
the limelight in the Toledo high
school football race, while the
Libbey Cowboys are safely sci
in second position. The Fight
ing Irish" of Central are in g
third place tie with the Scott
Bulldogs. Central defeated
Scott, which should give them
the edge, but the Irish buck ur
against the leaders tomorrow
night in the Waite Stadium.
Libbey steamrolled over the
Irish Monday night, the defeat
pushing Central from second
place into third. In this contest,
Central did not look like the
smooth running, aggressive team
which took the measure of Scott
and DeVilbiss in the previous
weeks. Libbey had things their
own way and Central was never
a serious threat throughout the
four periods. However, it must
be said in Central's behalf that
the actual scoring came after
the "breaks of the game" for the
Cowboys.
Woodward plays at Libbey to-
night, but the Cowboys are ex-
pected to repeat their perform
ance of an earlier win over
Woodward. Scott will play the
DeVilbiss Tigers in game
which should prove very inter
esting to the spectators. Many
fans are predicting that the
Tigers will outsmart the Scott
Bulldogs.
The six Toledo high school
football outfits are now in their
best form and each game played
becomes more enjoyable to the
thousands of enthusiastic school
followers who constitute ca
pacity crowds at most of the
games. With the season about
half over, it is still difficult to
pick the ultimate winner of the
championship race.

Q-Does lofting a ball give
ii more hook or spin?
A-On the contrary, it causes
a ball to skid down an alley,
instead of hook. The better
bowlers loft their ball only
when an alley is very slow and
works into the kingpin abruptly.
BY lofting it Ito skid it,, they
usually manage to keep it on
the strike side.
If a person does not bowl
more than once a week, would
you recommend his throwing a
hook?
A-No. To control a hook ball
calls for much practice. A
straight ball is best for one who
rolls only infrequently.

tomorrow between a young but
steadily improving University of

powerhouse grid outfit at
Yankee Stadium, in New York.
Led by Felix (Doc) Blanchard,

it ranks tops among the nations

Characterized as the 'best

compete with Army's fleet, pow

CONGRESS-:
Fight Looms

Highlighted by an 5000 word
message from President Truman,
congress went back to work after
a brief recess to tussle over legisla-
ton extending the draft, tiding the
nation over reconversion, holding
the price line until volume produc-
ton develops, readjusting the farm
economy to peacetime, and provld-
ing credit for foreign countries.
The first congressional move, how
ever, concerned none of these
weighty problems but rather the
Pearl Harbor debacle of December
z, 1941. Stealing the ball from the
Republican opposition, Senator
Barley Dem, Ky.) called for a

as well. Matching speedy passage

REDEPLOYMENT
REUSE Plans

Considered its answer to wide
spread criticism on the part of serv-

army revised its redeployment plans
to free an estimated 665, 900 vets
from Pacific duty.
Under the new plan, G.I.s exempt
from overseas service will include
those with As or more discharge
points; those between "a and 81
years Of age with a year of serv-
ice, or those 81 or over. Previous

the basis of one for each month in
service, one for each month of over

onels and majors need 100 points for

ognition of this sentiment, declaring
that the probe should bring out all
facts relating to civil as well as
military responsibility, with no eff

Though support for a joint con-
gressional investigation of Pearl

administration faced rougher sled

with the Republicans threatening a
bitter fight against so-called pater-
nalistic aspects of Mr.. Truman's
