Writer Takes Trip Down Yukon, Tanana Rivers by Canoe Down the long reaches of the Tanana and Yukon rivers to the Bering Sea and then to St. Mich- ael 60 miles from the mouth of the Yukon River was the canoe trip taken by John R.

Grid Batfles By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK, Oct. 13—{P—Texas not only hopes to whip Oklahoma’s football team in one of today’s better games but also has hopes of licking its Cotton Bowl jinx. A year ago Texas’ only defeat was by Oklahoma, 14 to 13, in the Cot- ton Bowl. Then came Jan. 1 and the big Dallas Bowl again worked its jinx: Tennessee 20, Texas 14. Will the jinx hold again? Texas has yielded only four touchdowns while piling up 10 in scoring three triumphs. Oklahoma is hampered by injuries, A lot of other football questions will be up for quick answers today. The big ones are: how good are Holy Cross, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Louisiana State, Notre Dame, South- ern California and Princeton. Of those seven, all have done better so far this season than was expected of them, except Maryland. And Maryland, rated one of the nation's best in August, is making the forecast stand up. Tonight the Marylanders are the guests of 2 Georgia team that romped to two easy victories befotre Leing stopped by Mississippi State. Georgia Tech and Louisiana State meet in Atlanta, going into the battle with three victories each. Notre Dame always had trouble "Whiplash" Has Four Stars, Sunday At 20th Century A happy-go-lucky young man, and his love for a beautiful woman provide the running drama of War- ner Bros! film, “Whiplash,” starring Dane Clark, Alexis Smith, Zachary Scott and Eve Arden, which pre- mieres Sunday at the 20th Cen- tury Theatre. Lew Seiler directed" this briskly- paced drama of raw emotions which unfolds for the most part against the Monterey coastline, then to New York where Clark becomes involved in gunplay and a sinister gang of mobster Miss Smith plays the night club singer who falls in love with Clark. Clark's romance for Miss Smith in the film provides for motivation of the story. The ‘heavy' interest is supplied by Scott who dominates Miss Smith and certain segments of the sports world. . Miss Arden, fourth member of the stafring quar- tet, essays the role of a wise- cracking friend to Clark, adding comedy bits to the proceedings. Jeffrey Lynn, S. Z. Sakall, Alan Hale, Douglas Kennedy and fighter Fred Steele are prominent in the supporting cast. DiMaggio s To Quif BB NEW YORK, Oct. 13—{®—The question of whether Joe DiMaggio, whose spectacular career with the New York Yankees began 15 years ago, is going to retire, apparently was settled today—the clipper has made up his mind to quit. He declined to come right out and say he was finished, but he made it plain before heading for Cali- fornia by plane last night that he was delaying the inevitable only in deference to the wishes of Yank President Dan Topping, with whom he talked for two hours yesterday. “I have made up my mind to re- tire and that is my present inten- tion,” said the great outfielder. “I have given it considerable thought.” When DiMaggio entered Top- ping’s office for the confab, he was ready to lay his cards on the table. Topping listened to the slugger and instead of just saying: “OK, Joe, it’s up to you,” asked him to delay POSITIVELY PAGE THREE LAST TIMES TONITE Bing Croshy's Latest and Newest Hit “"HERE COMES THE GROOM" 200 CENTURY THEATRE » WHERE HITS ARE A HABIT!

He has been an inspiration to them throughout the ears, and many are the rookies who merely have tried to look like m. As Manager Casey Stengel remarked after the Yanks won the World Series from the New York Giants: 800 miles from his jumping off {place, he said that waves nearly swamped his cance. It was there that he traded his original boat for an 18 foot riverboat with a onc- horsepower outboard. After leaving the village, river banks got so high and muddy in spots that he had to live aboard his canoe for several days at a time.

Somewhere along the trip he picked up a Husky pup and trained him to carry a pack. At the village of Marshall on the Yukon, Edwards met the Alaska Department of Health floating clin- ic, the Yukon Health. He spent sev- eral days with the crew aboard the clinic. Gets Wind Trouble About a week before he got into St. Michael, an off-shore wind gave him trouble. The wind kicked up waves that kept shorting out the sparkplug on his outboard motor, he said. With his motor not working, Edwards said he would have drifted out into the Bering Sea if it had not been for Alec Andrews, an Es- kime from Pastolik. Andrews towed Edwards into a slough. The reason for Andrews’ boat being able to navigate in tre wind and waves was that the Es-| kimo’s boat had an enclosed motor. A couple of days later Edwards started through the slough for St. Michael. He then ran into a dead end arm of the slough. After the fog lifted, he saw the village of Stebbens a short distance away. He hiked to the village where someone drew a map of the channel for him to St. Michael. When he arrived there, he set up living quarters in the old jail as he said there were no hotels. Has Goose Dinner ‘While waiting for the mail plane to come into St. Michael, he was invited to a goose ‘dinner in an Eskimo’s home. That was when he lost his appetite momentarily, he said. The pot of goose stew Wwas placed on the table and he dipped into it with his fork. The first thing he speared was the head and neck of the goose. That wasn't so good, he said. He dropped it back into the pot and tried again. This time he got the breast but it had the lungs at- tached. This was also.dropped back. The third trip into the pot netted him a leg. After a few weak at- tempts at eating it, he excused him- self and prepared his own supper. When the mail plane came, Ed- wards flew to Nome, Unalakleet and into Fairbanks. There he met Charles Ott, free-lance photographer on a tour of Alaska. The two of them drove over the highway to Haines in Ott’s car. Edwards came on into Juneau to look into possi- bilities of homesteading in the Haines area. He found that he has to go to Michigan State, No. 1 Associated Press top ten poll for the past two weeks, has it relatively easy with Marquette as its opponent. Ohio State, No. 9, visits Wisconsin.

Oregon PORTLAND, Ore.,, Oct. 13—(®— The University of Washington and University of Oregon, rivals of long standing, will meet on the rain- soaked Multnomah Stadium field to- day in a Pacific Coast conference football game. Washington is highly favored to win, but Coach Howie Odell was not too confident. “You never know when a team, even one with a lot of freshmen, will get hot,” he said. Then he added, “but we're ready.” (alifornia Affer Fourth Win In Game with WSC PULLMAN, Wash,, Oct. 13—®— California, the favorite by three touchdowns, goes after its fourth victory today against Washington State. It will be the first Pacific Coast conference game for the nation’s No. 2 team, which has rolled up three resounding non-league wins. The WSC Cougars, who have marked up two wins against one loss, have been working on defense all week trying to cut down weak- nesses which have given their op- ponents an average of three touch- downs per game.
