Chicago Cubs Win Twin Bill From New York New York, Sept. 6 —(UP) — The pennant-conscious Cubs, who show mastery over every National league team but the Cardinals were building a fat cushion today to absorb any possible shocks in the five gamee they have left with the Missourians. The Cubs reportedly were on the spot because of various infirmities of key players, got off of it in a hurry yesterday with a double victory over the Giants at Chicago, 6 to 2 and 10 to 2. That put them four and a half games ahead of the Cards. Ray Prim won his Uth game in the opener ae rookie Reglno Otero, filling in at first base, singled with the bases loaded to provide the winning edge. Ernie Lombardi ruined Prim's shutout with a two-run homer, his 19th. Claude Passeau, whose elbow pains him whenever he throws, won his 15th game in the afterpiece. Andy Pafko’s homer and two doubles and a single by substitute second baseman Roy Hughes paced the offensive. St. Louis topped the visiting Braves, 4 to 2. Harry Brecheen held the Braves scoreless after the first inning. Buster Adams led the Cards with three hits. Brooklyn defeated the Pirates 5 to 3 in the 10th inning at Pittsburgh. Goodwin Rosen hit a two run homer. Relief pitcher Vic Lorn- , bardi was the victor. The Reds and Phils split at Cin- ( cinnati.

Prep Foolball Teams Launch Grid Season Indianapolis, Sept. 6—(UP) — A sparkling bill of stickout games tomorrow night gets the Indiana high school football season off to a high octane start. Several of the perennial contenders for mythical state honors —such as Hammond Clark, Muneie Central, South Bend Washington, Evansville Central, Clinton and the Terre Haute schools — will not see action for anotifer week or two. But this weekend’s opening card of 50-odd games includes two at opposite* corners of the state that may play an important part in determining the mythical 1945 state champion. One, at Evansville, sends Gary Emerson against Evansville Memorial, while the other, at Gary, matches South Bend Riley and Gary Lejv Wallace.

Other lusty encounters on the opening card tomorrow night find Kokomo at Wabash in a renewal of a rivalry dating back 40 years; Huntingburg at Bloomington, West Lafayette at Lafayette Jefferson, Goshen at Fort Wayne Central and Fort Wayne North at Elkhart. Actually the 1945 season kicks off tonight with East Chicago Roosevelt’s Rough Riders tangling with Gary Tolleston at Gary. Neither eleven, however, figures to be much of a ’45 power. One of the annual headliners — the ancient Michigan City - La Porte game—was a casualty of an infantile paralysis scare at Michigan City. Michigan City canceled the contest and La Porte promptly arranged a match with South Bend Catholic. Catholic, incidentally, povides the initial test Monday night for South Bend Washington, the mythical state ruler of the past two seasons. Washington, however, is expected to play second fiddle to city rival Riley this fall in the northern Indiana conference’s eastern wing. For this reason, the Riley invasion of Gary tomorrow shares the state spotlight with the Emer son-Memorial duel. Wallace, beaten only once last fall, is back with another experienced. squad. Hornet coach Dom Polizotto made the switch to the “T” a year ago and seems more than satisfied with the scoring outlook for this fall. On the other hand, Riley, coached by able Paul "Spike” Kelly, has been defeated only twice in two seasons — both times by South Bend Washington—and carries the future book label as the team to beat in the north. The Wildcats are loaded with veterans, despite the loss of 17 members of the 1944 eleven. The Emerson-Memorial game at Evansville may go a long way in settling the annual North-South dispute over mythical state honors. Emerson is the biggest and possibly the best team in the al-ways-tough Calumet region. Memorial, twice state champions, is the perennial southern contender. State titles will be the farthest thing from the issue tomorrow when Decatur meets Bluffton at Decatur. The host Yellow Jackets will be out to salve the sting of last fall — when they didn’t score a point or win a game. o During the first three months of 1945, American soldiers in Europe required 340 Liberty shiploads of food. It included 13 shiploads of fruit joinces, 33 of milk, 56 of canned vegetables and fruit, according to the American Merchant Marine Institute.

Notre Dame Center t i And Coach Resign Chicago, Sept. C (UP) Notre Dame's football fortunes nose-div-ed today with the loss of two key men—Capt. Frank Szymanski, center, and Gene Ronzani, backfield coach. Szymanski, considered one of the ■ nation’s outstanding pivot men, rei signed from the squad, yielding his i team captaincy with the explana- > tion that he did not want to “embarrass” Notre Dame because of • his professional football conneci tions. . The Chicago Bears of the National football league signed Szymanski to a contract last winter to take effect upon his graduation, but it was voided by N.F.L. commissioner Elmer Layden because Szymanski's college class had not yet been graduated. Under big ten conference rule*, to which Notre Dame voluntarily subscribes, Szymanski would not be eligible, however. The recently re-instated big ten code provides that any agreement with a professional team or declaration of intent to play professionally makes an athlete ineligible for conference competition. Ronzani resigned to re-join the Bears for the coming pro grid season. The former marquette star, after playing quarterback and halfback for the Bears last season, joined the Notre Dame staff for summer practice and was scheduled to serve as backfield coach this fall. Head coach Hugh Devore said he would not appoint a successor “at this time.” Elsewhere around the midwest football circuit: At Purdue University, Bill Bangert, national collegiate ehotput and discus champion, was one of 10 candidates to report to head ' coach Cecil Isbell. Bangert, who ' transferred from Missouri to Purdue, recently, will play tackle . . Northwestern’s squad jumped to 75 r men. .

At Indiana, Ted Kluszewski, sophomore end. was outstanding in punting drills while Ben Raimondi starred in passing workouts . . . end .Bill Heiss and fullback Bud Hall, 1944 letter winners, reported to coach Ray Eliot at Champaign, giving Illinois 17 lettermen. At Minnesota, the No. 1 Golden Gopher backfield wars more definite than ever before after a twohour scrimmage. The all-veteran unit is composed of quarterback Merlin Kispert, halfbacks Red Williams and John Linquist, and fullback Vic Kulbitski . .. . Michigan drills revealed that at least five freshmen are expected to be in the Wolverines’ starting lineun when they open against Great Lakes Sept. 15.

At Leipzig last June, Colby testified: "I shot the. old man (meaning Brown) but. 1 didn’t want to shoot the lieutenant..” Brown had ordered Colby confined to pest after the soldier was found leaving his company zone against orders. Colby admitted that he had been drinking at the time of the shooting. Colby told the military court that he took his rifle and walked into the company command post (headquarters) where the two officers were talking and shot them. Then, he said, he marched out of the post and surrendered himself to military policemen. The court unanimously found him guilty and unless Eisenhower grants a reprieve he will be shot. Colby wrote his mother recently asking her to get lawyers working “to try and save me.” o Seven out of 100 babies born in the United States in 1944 did not have their births registered, the Bureau of the Census reports.
