 Tag team" wrestling differs from the regular team competataon in that only two men are allowed inside the ropes at the same time. The others remain outside the ring with ropes in their hands. When one of the actual combatants needs assistance. he summons his partner by tagging him and grabbing the rope. Such bouts usually cause considerable confusion and adds 10 the enjoyment Of the fans.

CoIsote's Kerr Out

Hamilton. N. Ys Nov. i6.-(UP) Andy Kerr, whose Colgate Uni- versity football teams have won 9i games, lost 46 and tied seven in his IT years as coach, will retire at the end of the present season in conformance with a university rule. Athletic Director William Reid said today.
 The 6s-year old Kerr will have reached the university retirement age before next season. Red said, and his withdrawal from compe- tition will be effective next June 30. Kerr, always a leader in con- cocting and executing razzle-dazzle plays. will direct his team against Syracuse today and then conclude his Colgate service against Brown Thanksgiving day. He will be head coach for the East team in the annual East-West Shrine All-Star game at San Francisco on New Years day.
 His best year at Colgate was 1882, when his team was undefeated, un- tied and unscored-upon. He coached at Pittsburgh, Stanford and Wash- ington & Jefferson before coming to Colgate in 1929. No successor will be chosen for some time. Reid said.

Lindbergh Scored Kill
On Jap Plane by Dive,
Army Flyer Relates
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-How Charles
A. Lindbergh dived with splitting
guns to shoot down Japanese plane
which had eluded four veteran
American fighter pilots Is disclosed
by Col. Charles Macdonald in the
current issue Of Golfers magazine.
Mr.. Lindbergh, a civilian aircraft
observer for the United Aircraft
Corp, flew so fighter pilot missions
against the Japanese, Col. MacDon-
aid said In recalling the day the
transatlantic flyer scored his kill.
Two P-38s ran out Of ammunition
trying to shoot down q Sonia type
Japanese plane, Col. Macdonald
said. He. Mr.. Lindbergh and Maj.
Danny Miller, also flying P-S8s,
arrived at the scene.
Head-on Pass.
Col. Macdonald and Maj. Miller
made passes" at the enemy and
missed. Col. MacDonald,s account
Of what happened next follows:
"This was Lindberghs first sight
Of Jap plane in the air, and there
he was, closing head on, with their
combined speeds close to 900 miles
per hour! =" / could see the Jap
in slight climb and Lindbergh in a
slight dive their guns splitting
bullets SO fast the muzzles resembled
so many acetylene torches.
"Of all the attacks 1t is possible
TO make on Japanese plane, the
one liked least is the head-on pass,
for here you and the enemy ap-
proach with tremendous speed, each
with guns blazing. There is always
a good chance for collision
and against a Japanese one could
never be sure to what lengths his
suicidal tendencies would push him.
For moments which seemed like
years, the antagonists came at each
other. Lindbergh's cannon and ma
chine gun bullets jolted into the
Jap. ="
"His slight advantage In height
prompted him to try to go over the
Jap. He pulled back the stick with
all his strength. The badly hit
enemy tried for a crash.
Missed Crash by Margin.
GAS Lindbergh's plane started up,
the Jap, too, pulled up violently. He
was too late. . ." The two missed
by a narrow margin. The Sonia
rolled over like a broken toy
and began long dive that ended
in the sea-"
Macdonald said Mr.. Lindbergh's
teaching in the Pacific added 600
miles to the range Of the twin
sngined P-38. He emphasized the
conservation Of gas and the result
ing longer range meant bombers
could hit targets 300 miles farther
out with fighter protection, Col
Macdonald said.
Last November 80 Representative
Mason, Republican, of Illinois said
Mr.. .Lindbergh shot down several
enemy planes while making test
flights in the Pacific, but Gen.
George c. Kenney, commander of
the Far Eastern Air Forces, said
that day there was no record Of Mr..
Lindbergh shooting down any Japa-
nese planes.
