ARMY CANCER CURE

Walter Reed General Hospital has made some excellent progress in treating cancer, but it's kept such a hush-hush secret that the doctor in charge of cancer research, Lieut. Col Milton Freedman, is about to be kicked upstairs be- cause of a news leak.
 It so happens that the amount of cancer in the Army is high so much so that the number of cases is kept secret. But one whole wing at Walter Reed Hospital is devoted to cancer, and Dr. Freed man made so much progress that various editors got wind of what was happening and tried to print the story
 At this point, Surgeon General Norman Kirk stepped in. It was made clear that Medical Corps pol icy did not permit mentioning the name of any hospital specialist Only the Surgeon Generals office could be mentioned in connection

ENLISTED MEN'S LIQUOR

Lerch contends that he cannot do a satisfactory administrative job with what Hodges gives him, but is afraid to make an official com plaint because Hodge is his super ior officer. Korean conditions probably will not improve until either Hodge or Lerch is removed and insiders who know all the facts say it should be Hodge.
 Another sore point is Hodges brass-hat manner of handling en- listed men. The caste system is perhaps worse i'll Korea than any other occupation area, and one thing which especially rifles enlisted men is the disposition of liquor.
 An officer can store as many bottles as he wants in his billet, and only the liquor left over after officers buy all they want is turned over to enlisted mems clubs. AS a result, the clubs frequently don't get any.
 General Hodge, however, was hesitant about serving liquor to the Congressional committee which inspected Korea. At first, he de- cided to serve only suntory, a Jap brand of Scotch, at a party in his private dining room at the Chosen Hotel in Seoul At the last min ute, however, he changed his mind and requisitioned half a case of champagne, three bottles of port wine. and three bottles of sherry for the party.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 49,
Yale's football team, which hasn't
lost To any Big Three opponent
since Howie Odell became coach,
lived up to all its advance notices
today by trimming Princeton's s
Tigers, 80 to 2.
The easy victory, achieved before
the third sellout crowd of 10000 in
the historic Yale Bowl this season,

official but nevertheless important
Ivy League title. Yale has been
beaten only by Columbia and tied

fourth straight victory for an odell-
coached team. Princeton last won
over its oldest and most serious
rival in 194l.
Although Princeton scored the
first two points today, 1t was Yale's
game from start to finish. The
Tigers managed to hold YaIe's

negligible yardage from scrimmage,
but they couldn't stop the passes
to Tex Furse, Yale's freshman quar-
terback, or the running of a host

Finish 46th Duel
By GEORGE Huber

Favored Tech was held to a score
less tie by Central in the 46th edi-
ton Of their high school football
classic in hard-fought, but clean
battle before 1000 yesterday at Cen
trail Stadium. Even though neither
was able to gain a decision it left
Tech in first place in the District
high school race and clinched 1t
spot in the November 20 champion
ship playoff against second -place
Coolidge. The. tie ended Centrals
last hope of getting in the playoff.
Tech four times reached into the
shadow of Central's goal, but never
was able to complete march over
the goal, while Central came closest
to scoring, carrying to Techs 2 as
the game ended. The contest was
marked throughout by good, hard
running and tackling by both teams,
with both lines playing a smart
game.
Yesterdays tie was the seventh in
the long Tech-Central series which
began in 1902. Central has the edge
In games won, 20-19, while Tech
maintains the scoring leadership,
372-322.
Tech Makes Early Threats.
Twice in the first period Tech was
knocking on the door. Ross Keith,
Central halfback, slipped and was
downed on his after taking the
opening kickoff. He kicked out and
Bob Bugs Thompson ran back to
Central's &C. Several plays later,
however, Thompson fumbled and
Jim Callotta recovered for the Vik-
ings on their IL. Keither kicked out
again and Thompson made a 20
yard return to the Is. The Viking
line braced there and took over.
Central sailed back to midfield to
start the second frame, aided by
Keith's 12-yard run when apparently
trapped while attempting to kick on
fourth down, but Tech held as soon
as the midstripe was crossed. Keith
punted outside on Techs A. but Jack
Baumgartner came back with CO.
yard quick kick. Later Tech drove
down from its 48, 10-yard runs by
Jim McCauley and Cece Gray doing
much of the damage as the Maroons
marched. Apparently headed for the
goal. Tech stopped short when Gray
fumbled and Cal Cramer recovered
for Central on his II.
Early in' the second half, Tech
again got past midfield, but was
stopped on the 40 and Baumgartner
punted over the goal Again in the
third frame, Tech made strong bid.
Keith of Central broke up several
passes, so Tech took to the ground
and with Paul Pometto doing most
of the running marched to Centrals
is. ThompSon'S fourth-down pass
was intercepted by Bob Douglas.

field to stop Techs last threat as the
quarter ended.
Central Finishes on Two.
They played evenly through most
