WORLD NEWS AT A GLANCE
NEW YORK: General MacArthur was quoted by Gen.
Kenney, Sunday, as having said in 1943 that
his opposition in '42
to unification of the Armed Forces was "the
greatest mistake of my military career."
* * *
MOSCOW: Izvestia reported the dissolution of the "Free
Germany"
committee and its affiliated union of German officers.
* * *
LONDON: A roundabout
report from Athens
said fighting has
been taking place along the Greek-Albanian border.
* * *
ROME: Dispatches said one was killed and several wounded during
disorders in Trieste
Saturday. The rioting
started over a manifesto issued by Italian supporters in the
disputed city.
* * *
PARIS: France's newly
elected assembly will
meet Tuesday to begin
its task of creating
the Fourth Republic.
Foreign minister Georges Bidault said he envisages an entente between the big three
political parties,
the Communists, the Socialists and the Popular Republican movement.
FOOTBALL
NEW YORK: Echoes of the
spine-tingling Navy-Notre
Dame 6-to-6 tie still
reverberated today, but
the Irish and the Middies
themselves had little
time for second guessing. Looming ahead of
the South Benders is
their annual tussle with Army's champs, winners of
15 straight games, who
last year rolled up a
still hard-to-believe
59-to-0 score over the
Irish. Ahead of tottering Navy is Michigan,
scarred by early season
defeats by Indiana and Army, but now regarded as
one of the mast
formidable elevens in the
nation. [On November 10, 1945, Army defeated Notre Dame 48-0, and Navy beat Michigan 33-7. - Ed.]
PENNANT'S DAILY PROGRESS
Rock and rye, I mean rock and roll, jerk and bounce.
Nauseating, isn't it? I shoulda "stood" in bed.
See you up
on deck tomorrow, straining an eyeball or two looking for
a precious piece of real estate we've heard so much about.
At this time (you won't need this stuff once you see land) we
wish to thank Chief Mate Victor Jorgenson for his swell cooperation in keeping us posted on our progress HOME. Thanks, Mate.

"PASS THIS ON TO A BUDDY"
SPORTS
Corporal Fritzie Zivic, who
parted with the welterweight crown before Pearl Harbor to
Navy man Red Cochrane, has hooked up with Chick Wergeles.
They
are the 'yellingest' fighter-manager team on the loose these
days and their screams are for a
return match with Red, whom they claim put a return match
(within ninety days) clause in
the contract for that last match.
The war prevented
the return and now Fritzy, despite the fact
that he is losing bouts right and left, wants a shot at the title.
As yet, there is no indication
that he will get it, but it seems obvious that these old timers are
all through and know it. Perhaps they deserve a last chance
to make a 'killing'
on one purse
before they bow out to the younger generation. There has been a lot of ballyhoo about the services
producing the next champs, and that
undoubtedly will be the case,
but it will be quite a
few months. Top notch boxing condition is actually almost impossible to attain while tending to military
chores, even in the States.
The
civilian boxers actually will have
the edge until the service boys get 'rehabilitated' a bit physically.
[According to Wikipedia, Zivic "never challenged for a world title after 1941, but from 1941 to 1946, he fought the great boxers Sugar Ray Robinson, Beau Jack, Tommy Bell, Billy Arnold, Jake LaMotta, and Freddie Archer. In all, he met seven future Hall of Famers and nine world champions. His career record was 158-64-9, with 80 knockouts." - Ed.]
CHICAGO BEARS
BEAT PACKERS
CHICAGO:
Chicago Bears snapped out
of their longest losing streak [starting the season with five straight losses - Ed.] as they overcame a
fourteen-to-zero first quarter deficit to defeat the [1944] champion Green Bay Packers
twenty-eight to twenty-four.
College and service football Sunday: Holy Cross twenty - U.S.
Submarine Base six.
PHILLIES WINNERS
Striking with equal proficiency
in the air and on the ground, the Philadelphia Eagles routed the
Pittsburgh Steelers 55 to 3. [Philadelphia Eagles 45 - Pittsburgh 3]
