the Main Rec
Center tonight.

many ring bat-
tles, “Willkie”

Tonight’s Boxing Show Here
Promises Plenty Of Action
The first of a series of boxing shows will get underway
tonight at 2000 hours at the Main Red Cross Rec Center,
and the card promises to give an expected large crowd of
fight fans plenty to yell about.
There will be eight three-min-
ute bouts with AAU rules prevail'
ing. All the GI’s who will be
■doing the swinging have been
■working out for a number of
■weeks, are in good condition, and
Rfmost of them have had plenty
g of experience in amateur rinj^
battles back in the States.
Long starving for a look at ring
warfare, local GI’s should be in
for some swell entertainment. To
name the most promising of the
bouts would be difficult, but
those who have seen welter-
weights Ralph Cedas and Jim
Carrjanis work out claim that
their battle ought to rival any
of the others for action. Both
men are fast, can punch and have
had plenty of experience.
The scheduled battle between
middleweights Glen Wilkins and
Ed Podazaski is also exciting
plenty of interest.
The first bout will go on at
2000 hours sharp. Referee will
be Capt. Marks of the MP’s. Judg-
es will be-Lf. Edell of the QM
and Lt. Maroon of the Infantry,
and the announcer and timer will
be Lt. Zinkoff of Special Service.
Silas York, 47-year-old cousin
of Sgt. Alvin C. York of World
War I fame, recently enlisted
in the U.S. Navy.

American Scene
In Wilbur, Wash., Walter
Wynhoff, a rancher, got his
overalls caught in his tractor
binder unit. He was spun around,
stripped, and thrown 50 feet.
When he regained consciousness
he discovered that he was wear-
ing his shoes and glasses—but
nothing else.

Clerks in Ft. Sill, Okla., asked
Pvt. Charles Juelich for his full
name. Pvt. Juelich took a deep
breath and said, “Karl Werner
Rudulf Samuel Ben Jonas Israel
Charles Clcve Juelich.”
•
Mrs. Paul Bernhardt and Mrs.
Charles Henderson went fishing.
They didn’t catch any fish, but
they did run across a big cougar
which they entangled in their
fishing net and brought home.
Neither the ladies nor the big cal
were hurt. It happened in Reeds-
port, Ore.

A theater manager found a
soldier’s coat left in the audi-
torium. Seeking identification he
found the following items in the
various pockets: An empty mon-
ey belt, six cigarettes, four sticks
of gum, two handkerchiefs, a
pair of socks, a bladeless safety
razor, three broken pencils, a
deck of cards, a fountain pen,
ten marbles, a piece of choco-
late, a spool of thread — and
31 cents, cold cash.
Africa Candybars
Three Nazi machine-gunners in
exchange for three candy bars
is admittedly a fairly good bar-
gain, and that’s the kind Pvt.
Alvan E. Donnell, 19, of White-
field, Mass., was able to make
in North Africa.
It has just been disclosed that
Donnell and some comrades
found some Arabs and asked
them if they knew the location
of some German machine-gun
nests. After the Yanks handed
over the candy bars, the Arabs
guided them to places where
Nazi gunners were hidden. Don-
nell said the Arabs liked the Ame-
ricans better than the Germans
“because we didn’t take back the
candy once we had given it to
them like the Germans.”
What Is a Spy?
Espionage is just another
big word which means that
someone is pretending to be
your friend, when in reality
he is using you as a source
of information. The informa-
tion you give him will sink
your ships, drown your bud-
dies-, destroy your armies and
cripple your government. Spi-
es are not mysterious people
who run around wearing black
hats and carrying cloaks and
daggers. They are simple
everyday people like ycmrsel-
ves. A spy might pose as a
farmer, a shopkeeper, a taxi
driver, a fisherman, a house-
wife, or a soldier. It is your
responsibility lo trust no one.
In wartime consider every
stranger guilty until he proves
himself innocent. Guard your-
self constantly, because even
one word may be the clue
which a spy is looking for.
Remember! Careless talk costs
lives. Keep your mouth shut,
and force the spy to take risks
which will result in his speedy
capture.
If you think the man-power shortage isn’t bad, take a look here. Those gridders getting in-
structions are backfield candidates at Bell Township High in West Moreland County, Pa., and
the coach is Miss Pauline Rugh. She says she never played football, and that she accepted the
job only after no man could be found for the duties. ■ )
