Reports For Football

RENO, New, Aug. 4. - (P -
Bobby Ravera, former 160-pound
all-state high school quarterback,
is not going to let the loss of his
left hand stand in the way of his
playing more football.
Last winter Ravera's hand was
blown off at the wrist when he and
fellow infantrymen were caught in
machine gun cross fire in France
and dived into hole. His rifle butt
hit a land mine in the scramble
for safety.
Coach Jim Aiken of the Univer-

will be one of "a candidates for a
position with the 1945 Wolf Pack.
The young Reno athlete will try

despite Magerkurth's instructions
to Manager Del Bissonette of the
Braves that he could not use Mort
Cooper as substitute for Logan.

To Show Improvement
Frank Thomas States

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.-R-
Football is going to show consider
able Improvement this fall, but
fans should not get hepped-up over
the prospect Of seeing game of the

LANIER ALLOWS
FOUR SAFETIES;
WHITES II men
Eight Costly Errors Pave
Way For Buccaneers
Eighteenth Win

The Wilmington Pirates added
the Fort Bragg Personnel Center
club to their string of victories as
they defeated the Soldiers, Z to
5 last night at Legion Stadium. The
largest crowd of the season wit
messed the game.
Max Lanier. ace ex-Cardinal
hurler was unable to silence the
big bats of the Buccaneers as they
slammed the former big Lacquer
for four hits and six runs in the
six innings he hurled. Lanier
struck out II of the Pirates, his
biggest trouble of the game was
the costly errors of his mates
afield. Spell, catcher for the Sol
diers seemed unable to hold the
fast balls hurled by Lanier. The
Fort Braggers were charged with
eight miscues.
The Pirates got off to an early
start, denting the home plate twice
in the opening stanza. Mcclellan
struck out, but was safe on first
as the catcher missed the third
strike. In an attempt to trap Nc
Keithan off first base Lanier threw
wild and McKeithan raced to third.
Coward struck out on three pitch
ed balls. Allen connected with
double to deep right field scoring
McKeithan. Stateon flied out to
Carroll, who made beautiful
catch deep in foul territory, Roy
Lamb singled into left to score
Allen. Lamb was trapped by
lightning throw Lanier to Car
roll.
In the first of the fourth the Per-
sonnet Center lads scored one run
on hits by Spell and Lanier. In
the bottom half of this inning the
Corsairs tailed one run on a walk
and wild pitch.
The Pirates went wild in the
fifth inning scoring three runs on
two hits, two errors and a passed
ball. The Soldiers came back in
the first of the seventh to add one
run on hit and the shortstops err
ror. In the last of this inning the
home team again crossed pay dirt
a walk, a double and an error ac-
counting for this run.
In the eighth and ninth inning
the Fort Braggers thres tened, two
scored in the eighth and one in the
ninth.
The Pirates gathered a total of
six hits, four off Lanier and two
off Clegg, who relieved Max in the
sixth inning. Johnny Wilbourne
went the route for the Kitemer
allowing II hits, but kept them
well scattered, striking out ten Sol
diers and giving up three base
on balls.
Pvt. Ed Motsinger with 2 for 8
and Pvt. Preston Carroll with three
for five led the Personnel batters.
Dirk Coward with two for five
paced the Pirate batsmen.
1t was announced that the Per.
sonnet Center team will play Camp
Davis at the nearby camp Monday
afternoon.
Bert Kite, local manager said he
had booked the Camp Davis club
for Wednesday night and the Pope
Field Filters for next Saturday

OFF TO A BAD START

THE NEW Congress made a poor start when the
House voted to set up permanent Dies com
mittee Presumed dead, the Committee on Oh-
American Activities was made standlng coh-
mittee with authority to continue the 'lnvestlga
tion' made for years by the old Dies group.
With the United States under staggering
load of debt which is mounting daily, the House
authorized continued spending of the people,
money on an investigation that can yield llttle
really new and which the nation can very well &c
without. Other agencies of government are
eouipped to obtain any needed information on
IInAmerican activities and additional expense
for the purpose is unwarranted.
The character of the drive that put over the
permanent committee is revealed by the fact that
it was led by that arch-reactionary, Rep. John H.
Rankin of Mississippi Action by the House
against dangerous evils in American lie Woulo
nave been of far more value to the national wei,
fare Rep. Charles M. LaFollette OF Indiana pu'
the case against the House action strongly whef
he said:
"The stealing of elections the maintenance OF
monopolies the discrimination against economic
opportunities of citizens because of race creed OF
color. and the maintenance of the poll tax are just
some of the un-American activities which the sup
porters of the amendment might first attempt tc
eliminate through the existing standing commit,
tees and legislative practices before starting out
on another witch hunt"
