first four games. Wildcat edge may
be found in the pass completion
record of Fred Enke, Jr., and the
fact that Hardin Simmons is not
boasting about it's pass defense. In
pass offense, the Arizona team
stood in sixth place nationally on
Oct. 26.
A recapitulation gives Hardin
Simmons two points to Arizona one,
the Cowboy rushing and total de-
fense supremacy against Arizona
brilliance in it's total offensive
record. The latter leads all Border
Conference teams.
Arizona and Hardin Simmons
have played only one game in past
years, in 1912, a year that the Cats
took defeat 1884, and the Cowboys
tied in the conference title race
with Texas Tech. In the previous
year the Cats and Cowboys we're
co-Shampions but did not meet on
the gridiron.
The Hardin Simmons line at 206
pounds average will outweigh the
Cat line by six pounds; but the
Arizona backfield, at 100 pounds,
will be about 10 pounds heavier
than the Cowboys ball crew. Both
backfields are fleet, the Arizona
backs exceedingly fast for size.
Kickoff time is pm.

Veterans Tax
Endorsed
By Legion Posts

PHOENIX, Oct. 31-Moving to
afford Arizona veterans of World
War II the same tax exemption
benefits already extended by the
state to veterans of World War I.
Phoenix posts of the American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars have unanimously adopted
resolutions to support passage in
the November elections of refer
endum measure No. 104.
Referendum No. 1O4 is the pro-
posal to grant Arizona GIs and their
widows who were bona fide resi-
dents of the state prior to Septem-
ber l, 1945, a tax exemption on the
first $4,000 of their real property
up to an assessed valuation of
5000. The present law in this con-
nection applies only to veterans and
widows who resided in the state
prior to January /, 1928.
According to leaders of the VF'W
and American Legion, enactment
of No. 1O4 is a must on their pro-
grams to assist returning service
men and women in re-establishing
themselves as good Arizonans.'
Said James E. Warner, vice-com-
mander of e-Greenway Post No.
1, "I don't think there is really
much opposition to the proposal; it's
just a question of acquainting the
voters with the fact that there is an
issue which requires yes mark on
the ballot AS far as placing any
extra burden on the taxpayers, we
all feel sure that the state will de-
rive more revenue just by having
these vets as residents of the state,
than would be realized through tax
ing tn first $4,000 of their real prop
erty.'
In addition to the American Le-
gion and -VFW, the executive COM
mittee of the Phoenix chapter of
the American Veterans Committee
and the state executive body of the
Reserve Officers Association are
backing the proposal.
Top political supporter is Gov
ernor Osborn, who gave his unquali
fled endorsement in a statewide
broadcast last week.

MARITIME COMMISSION ASKS
 U. S. CONTINUE TO RUN SHIPS

WASHINGTON - The Maritime Commission urged this week that authority for emergency govern ment operation of coastwise and intercoastal shipping not be allow cd to expire next February 2S.
 Vice-Admiral W. W. Smith, the Commission chairman, wrote Re- conversion Director John W. Steel man that chaotic consequences will follow if those essential serv- ices are disrupted"
 Since Congress alone can renew the authority, Smiths letter to Steelman was taken as a move to call attention to the shipping situ- ation well before the new Congress cOnvenes on January 3.
 Government Loses
 Smith acknowledged that the government had lost $6,64O,00O a it's II months of operating domes- tic shipping services, and that most recent reports show losses running at s600,000 a month.
