 Brandy Spills Toll ToIes in North Country, Where Luis Firpo Got Just $72 for His End

SnoWbound for week, Ray Pryce skiied five miles from his fathers farm to get in a basketball game between Father Martins St. Mary's team and Madrid High. Pryce's slide won.
 Little Joe Brandy, legendary Notre Dame quarterback of 1917-20, owns an Orangeburg radio station, and spiller of tall tales. Brandy grew from 127 to all of 147 pounds as he made key blocks for the immortal George Gipp and called plays for the unbeaten and united Irish com binations of 19l9-20.
 Little Joe considers the 1920 team the most formidable he ever saw. Those bays got in on the early flush of Knute Rockne's enthusiasm. SeV- eral of them became famous coaches,
 Little Joe likes to tell about the time team lined up against Notre Dame on very cold day wearing gloves. We we lined up again" beams Little Joe, we had the nit tenS."
 Just before he tackled Jack Demp- sey in their thriller of 1923 Luis Angel Firpo was convinced by Boo Ingram he would draw 30,000 people in an exhibition in connection with Old Home Week and the St. Law renee County Fair. Firpo agreed to a 5O-50 split, and his end was ex- actly SIP.
 Thus Ogdensburg is the only town where Luis Angel Firpo was talked into 8 bag businses arrangement fear him.
 And anybody knowing the money squeezing Wild Bull will testify that this is not among Ogdensburg less CT distinctions.

Hockey
 NATIONAL LEAGUE (Rv limited PreSl

The Detroit Red Wings frightened their already firm grip on second place in the National Hockey League last night by defeating the fifth place New York Rangers, 4 to 2, in the only game scheduled.
 Young Doug Stevenson, playing his second National League game as substitute for the injured Ken McAuley, turned in an excellent job of goal tending for the Rangers but lack of defensive support from his mates cost him the game. The Wings counted twice in the first period, were shutout in the second, and closed with two goal rush that more than nullified single goals by the Rangers in the last two periods.

STA has been gathered by the
United States as a result of the
war.
If another war should break
out. America would have extern
sive maps for use in both aerial
and ground warfare. Russia is
about the only important coun-
try that has prevented the Unit
ed States from charting the To-
cation OF her strategic areas.
Even if push button warfare
should become a reality in the
next generation, maps would be
invaluable in strategic plans to hit
vital targets with automatic
planes Or rockets carrying atom
ic bombs. :
Because of improved technique
in map-making through aerial
photography, the United States
has been able TO get a good COM
prehensive picture of the world
through globe-circling planes.
American military leaders were
handicapped at the beginning OF
World War ii by the lack of ade-
quate maps.
House Republicans may organ
ize in the near future to try to
drive a bill through the lower
chamber ending the drafting of
men into the armed service.
Leader in the movement is Rep,
A. L. Miller (R) of Nebraska, who
said he had demanded a hearing
of the House Military Affairs
committee on his bill to end the
draft, but had not heard from
Chairman Andrew J. May CD of
Kentucky.
See Anti Draft Bill Victory
Miller said that if the com
mittee failed to act on the bill
he would file a discharge petit
ton in an effort to bring it before
the House for a vote.
To discharge the committee
from consideration of the bill,
a majority of the House, or 218,
must sign the petition. Miller
was confident that 218 signatures
could be obtained.
Some of the labor leaders in
Washington are worried about
the current wave of strikes. They
fear that the strikes may baekfire
on labor and bring a breakdown
by Congress.
These leaders point out that
after the end of the war the eoun-
try wanted peace and quiet and
an opportunity to buy peace-time
goods denied during the war.
Anything that delays reconver-
sion and keeps new cars and 9th
err products off the market may
result in an anti-labor reaction
among millions Of citizens, they
fear.
