TRUMAN RESTS AS MISSOURI

HEADS NORTH ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP MISSOURI. Sept. 8 (UP) President Truman, tired after a hectic week in Brazil, devoted himself to rest and relaxation as this 35,000 ' ton battlawaso'n steamed through the warm South Atlantic waters toward the United States. The President sailed from Rio de Janeiro yesterday following a gala send-off. He started the long voyage home with the conviction that his visit had helped solidify the Good Neighbor policy with the South American nations. He will arrive in Washington on Sept. 20. The president was in high spirits but plainly tired after his six days of social engagements and speeches in Rio. The president has altered plans and will not make the scheduled stops at Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Golden Arrows Lose To Bicknell Bulldogs 18-6

It took them twelve long years to do it, but Bicknell's Bulldogs finally managed to beat the Gold en Arrows. They did it Friday night by a score of 18 to 6 in a game played in the Knox County town. ; It was the first time that a Sullivan ball club has lost an opening game since Spike Kelly's Arrows lost to Princeton in 1942 by a score of 25 to 6. It was two breaks that gave the Bulldogs the game, but even without those breaks the speed of the pint-sized Bicknell backfield had the Arrow ends woozy .and probably would have won the game. The biggest break .was 1 in the third quarter when Carter's pass was intercepted on the Sullivan 43 by Shelton and taken all the way down for a touchdown. That score broke a 6 to 6 tie. Although Shelton had some nice downfield blocking by Pack, his speed was enough to outrace the Arrow secondary. . Only once in the ball game did the Arrows have a serious scoring threat and that time they made good on it. In the first quarter, after Carter had kicked to Zellers on the Bicknell 13, the Bulldogs marched seventeen yards before fumbling on their own thirty, and Kaiser recovered. Brodie was in at quarter and he called the Statue of Liberty play, handing the ball off ' to Pinkston, who went eight yards to the 22. Hilgediek plowed through center for four and a first down on the 18-yard line. Scully went over the right side of his own line for seven yards and then Pinkston hit the line for seven to the Bicknell four. It was another first down. Scully failed to gain . over the middle, and Pinkston lost a yard back to the five-yard line. Carter's pass was incomplete and it looked as though Bicknell had stopped the drive, but Carter threw down the middle to Red Anderson for the touchdown. Anderson caught the ball as if it was a hot potato but he managed to hang on. Brodie passed for the point but it was no good." The Bulldogs came right back to tie the game up. Kotlarsky brought. Carter's kickoff back to the Bicknell 32, and in four plays the game was all tied up Zellers wentf, arotind the Arrow left flank for V first down on the Sullivan 46, 1 then' Kotlarsky went around the Arrow-right end I for first down on. the Sullivan EUGENE FUSON HURT IN WRECK . ; . ' " Eugene Fuson, age '..19, ,c son of Rev. and Mrs. Cecil 'Fuson of Fairbanks, was seriously injured Saturday: around 12:30 when ' he was thrown from his motorcycle when a tire blew out. He was brought to the Mary Sherman Hospital in a DeBaun ambulance and later taken to the Veterans Hospital in Indianapolis. It was reported today by his doctor that he suffered a broken back. Talks on Indonesia CHAIN-SMOKING Sjarif Hamid Al- ! kadrie, 34-year-old Sultan of Poni tianak, West Borneo, is shown in New York City during a press interview.

hit the right side of his own line for eight yards to the Sullivan 5, then Chambon circled his own left end for the score. Zellers passed for the point but it was no good. The final Bicknell touchdown, which was just insurance, came after a fumble in the , Arrow backfield. On the first play in the fourth quarter,' Brodie called a Statue of Liberty play but the hand-off to Pinkston was a little sloppy and the Arrow halfback fumbled the ball, with Swan recovering for the Bulldogs. Zellers skirted his left end for five, Chambon made four, and Zellers made four to give the Bulldogs a first down on the Arrow 6. Zellers plowed through to the one-yard line, but then Laskey sliced through to catch Zellers for a four-yard loss back to the 5. On third down Zellers passed incomplete into the end zone, but on fourth down his pass to Kotlarsky was complete and the Bulldogs had the game sewed up. It was an evenly fought game, with the weakness at end going against the Arrows and the terrificly speedy quartette of Bulldog backs taking decided advantage of the weakness. The Bulldogs made eight first downs to seven for the Arrows. On passing, neither team .was a ball of fire. The Arrows tried nine, completed two, and had the touchdown pass intercepted. The Bulldogs tried six, completed two, and had one intercepted. The middle of the Arrow line showed promise of developing into a power unit, but the backs were just too slow to be able ti catch the Bulldog scat-backs on those end sweeps, and that told the whole story.
