University Regent and Senator O. D. Cochran yesterday afternoon again dug out his much-thumbed ccpy of the Biennial Report Of the University of Alaska, the petard on which, two weeks before, he had hoisted Senator N. R. Walkers Ag- ricultural Experimental Laboratory bill - but, for all the vigorous thrusts the veteran legislator loos- cd in his most eloquent and eXtend- ed oration of the current legislative sessson--he failed to stop Senate ap- provai of creation of a Territorial Department of Agriculture
 Final vote on the Agriculture De- partment measure, House Bill No. 43, recorded Senators Cochran, Leo w. Rogge, Allen Shattuck, and Frank Whaley as opposed to it's passage. Senator Walker, who had this time lined up with Senator Cochran in debate, voiced a Yes" vote, then immediately gave notice for reconsideration today, in des- perate attempt to crack the lineup of power behind 'the proposed law Tie emergency clause in the bill was adopted by a IA to 2 vote of the Senators.
 Figures from the budget proposed for the University of Alaska for the coming biennium. which the Nome Senator had used so successfully to combat the Ketohikan Senator's lab- oTatcry act, this time did not go un- challenged by those who had ab- sorked them in silence before. Fore most in disputing them was his fel- lew member of the Board Of Re- gents, Senator Andrew Nerland, who was vigorously backed up by an ob- jection from his Republican con- frere to the reading of the flu turistic budget
 Bunneil Gives Views
 The mainthread of Senator Coch- ran's argument in opposition to House Bill 43 ran counter to declar- ations of Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, President of the University of Alas ka. who had taken the floor in the Senate yesterday forenoon to advo- cate passage of the measure. Sena- tor Cochran charged that nearly all the stated functions of Commission CT of Agriculture. which the bill would create, would only result in duplication of activities now being carried out by the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Stations under the direc- tion of the University of Alaska. What benefit will it be to destroy an already organized department in order to create new one?" he asked. There is no question of depriving tEe farmers of what they are asking for in this bill-they already have it!.
 Others Testify
 Other witnesses who appeared be- fer the Senate in support of a De- pattment of Agriculture were Farm er-Representative Walter E. Hunt ley, one of the authors of House Bill No. 43, and Cleora Helving, super visor of Home Economic for the De- partment of the Interior. In her rcle of nutrition expert, the latter testified that well-balanced diets could le provided entirely from foods produced in the Territory.
 Rep. Huntley based his main ar gument for passage of his bill on the need of Alaska agriculture for control and inspection of seed, feed and plant shipments into the Terri tory.

JOCK LESLIE FIGHT
WITH SAL BARTOLO
SCHEDULED TONIGHT

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1S.-(P)-
Jock Leslie Of Flint, Mich, club
bling his way up the featherweight
ladder with a mighty left hook,
reaches all the way to the top to-
morrow night trying for his
seventh consecutive knockout in
New Orleans.
He will swing for the chin Of
MIA featherweight champion Sal
Bartolo, no less-although he will
have no opportunity of knocking
off the Boston Italians crown. It
will be an overweight match with
the champion coming in at
around 100 pounds and Leslie a
trifle over the featherweight linn
it of 126.
The 10-round bout is the big mo-
ment thus tar in the life of the
|21-year-old Michigan fighter, a
Golden Gloves graduate, class Of
1871. One blow from his paralyz-
ing left could catapult HIM into
the big money.
But, of course, the blow must
land; and the fast and shifty
champion has avoided the might
of some very hefty punchers in
deed, including Phil Terranova.
from whom he won the MIA title
lin March of 1914.

Davis were expected to put their
charges, the New Hanover High
school Wildcats through heavy
drills this afternoon in preparation
for the Thanksgiving night battle
with an invading Winston-Salem
Gray High school squad at Amerl-
can Legion stadium.
Both schools finished their regu-
lar season play Friday night with
victories. Gray High was never
worried as they ground out a 80
victory over Mineral Springs. The
Wildcats stopped a pass-throwing
Fayetteville team, $50, in game
which saw New Hanover backs
make several long gains and the
Wildcat line stop the visitors Of
fensive.
The Mineral Spring victory gave
the Grayhounds "a season record

SHSAA ANNOUNCES
RULE CHANGES

CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 49, In
Several important changes in rules
for the State High School Athletic
association were announced today
by Acting Secretary c. E. Nc
Intosh after a meeting of the exc
cutive committee, presided over by
president c. R. Joyner of Winston
Salem.
The military clause will be re-
stored as to basketball and base
ball and a returning veteran will
have the same athletic status ne
had when he went into the service.
Beginning in January, 1947, Class
A football and basketball teams
will be required to play round
robin schedules with all other
members.
A school which has temporarily
dropped below 225 students due to
the war may have the option Of
remaining in class B or dropping
to class c until it returns to that
number
All high schools in any city or
county system may combine for an
All-Star game against a similar
team from another city or county,
but such game will not affect the
conference standings of any team.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10. -R-Dick
Sisler, St Louis Cardinal rookie and
son of George Sisler, one of base
balls all-time greats, plans to play
winter baseball in Cuba upon the
recommendation of owner Sam
Breadon of the Cardinals, it was
learned today.
Sisler, first baseman-outfielder,
is awaiting discharge from the
Navy at Lambert field here. His
parents said he plans to play for
the Havana team managed by Mike
Gonzalez, Cardinal coach, if he is
released from service before the
season is too far along.
IF Dick gets out in time, Mike
has offered him good salary and
the work will do him good" Brea-

DUKE CONSIDERED
FOR ORANGE BOWL

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 1s-tP)-
Without having to throw single
block or make single tackle.
Duke University crashed to the
front of the Orange Bowl picture
in a hectic weekend of football
which saw three candidates for a
bid to the New Years game here
get smeared.
The defeat of two eastern hope
fuls-Holy Cross and Penn State
and St. Mary's in the Far West
moved the idle Blue Devils to the
top of the list, the Orange Bowl
schedule committee said.
The Blue Devils, beaten only
by nightly Army and Navy this
season, would play Southeastern
conference team, if selected.
A $50 loss to Michigan State
virtually eliminated Penn State
from Orange Bowl considerations,
but Holy Cross and st. Mary's
managed to stay in the running.
although far behind Duke, Temple
and a trio of undefeated, united
teams-Oklahoma A. & M, Vir-
ginia and Colorado. Temple
bounced back on the list by up
setting Holy Cross, 1916. St. Mary S
was beaten by UCLA, 1877, in its
season finale.
Saturdays games shed little
light on the identity OF the South
eastern conferences representa-
tive. Alabama, Mississippi State
and Georgia cantered to easy vic
tories, and LSU squeezed past
Georgia Tech, 81. Tennessee was
idle.
There is no chance of a selection
being made, the committee said,
until after Dec. when Mississippi
State plays Alabama, Georgia
meets Georgia Tech, and LSU bat
ties Tulane.
Three Orange Bowl prospects
close their schedule this week,
Colorado against Denver on Thurs
day, Oklahoma A. & M, against
Oklahoma on Saturday, and Holy
Cross against Boston College or
Sunday.

Smith pointed out the question Of
Army's greatness may never be

mat was the primary T, YOU
might say. Without the man in
motion and other innovations
which make the advanced T in use
To-Day complex machine which
often seems to battle its own
operators.
We don't know just what plan
Dorais uses to stop the T. Ali we
know is that it is sort of a nuctuat-
ing, suffering defense changing
so rapidly the ball carrier finds
the spot that looked like a hole,
amt, as they say. Sometimes the
defensive line and backfield shift
more than the offensive team.
If other coaches become convinc-
ed Dorais has the right key to the
defense, they probably will adopt
it, which will mean the T gradu-
ally will lose its effectiveness and
teams that have found it a hot
potato and too hard to handle on
offense anyway will be only too
glad to get back to something
simpler that doesn't require play
ers custom-built for their jobs.
The schools deserving the T may
revert to the single wing or double
wing or even the short punt with
shift into the old Notre Dame box,
watch Dorais uses now, Some en-
tirely new formation may be in
vented, although it would seem
that everything conceivable has
been tried.
A formation is good just as long
as it is effective, and it is effective
just as long as it has the men to
operate it. With a vast majority
of schools not having the men to
operate the T effectively, and with
defenses being designed to check
it, the swing to something else
doesn't seem to be too far distant.
