THE POLICE TAKE
I THE MOUSE
MONTVILLK, N. J. </P)—Mont
ville’s night police force has a new
member—a gray mouse dubbed
“Officer Skipper.” He answers to
the whistle of Chief Russell Hil
bert and is friendly to the other
officers, but is deadly afraid of civ
ilians. When a civilian enters the
station Officer Skipper scampers
to cover. Only once since he join-1
ed the force has Skipper made a
mistake. He crawled into a hot
air register one day, but came out
in a jiffy, overheated and wiser.
Chief Hilbert says Skipper is good
company, but he hopes he doesn’t
tell his friends of his new home.

Surprises Fans
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. '/Id —
An underdog University of Wash
ington eleven, heralded only for
its passing game, displayed a pow
erful running attack here Satur
day in a second half comeback
that fell only a point short of stag
ing one of the week-end’s upsets
The Huskies, bogged down in
the air by a heavy driving rain,
dropped a close 7-6 decision to ‘.he
University of Minnesota Gopners
as an attempted field goal from
the eight yard line went wide b.v j
inches with only seconds .'emirn-t
ing in the game.
The lone Minnesota tally came
in the first period when Bui
Grant, Gopher end, took a Wash
ington fumble out of the air and
rambled 20 yards to a touchdown.
Don Bailey's try-for-point was the
margin of difference.
Washington was bogged down
throughout the first half and nei
ther team made a serious threat.
The Huskies got the touchdown
back after six minutes of ‘he third
period when Herb Harlow, the
Spokane speedster, twisted and
turned with nice blocking and
went 11 yards to paydirt. Bob Mi
kalson, who clicked on 18 of 31
conversion attempts last season,
missed the extra point by a foot.

The Ordnance boys are looking
forward to a lecture on Small
Arms Safety by Sgt. Thresher,
better known here as “The Shot
gun Kid.” Sgt. Thresher is well
qualified in this respect, having
given us a demonstration recently.
Kucera and Ferrell are now sign

Pfc. McHorney is a wheel in
l()th Rescue now. Yes sir. Last
week at this time he was just a
little Pvt., but now he is a big Pfc.
Let’s hope that he gets to the top,
wherever that is. At the present
we have all of our boys painted
except for one. That boy is where
all the wheels sleep. Someone
should slip them a little hint and
get that boy painted.
We lost another member of our
QM organization on Tuesday, as
Raymond Robinson left for An
chorage and possibly “Outside”
due to a bind spot in one of his
ej'es which may involve a very
serious ns well as rate operation.
And with a great many of us leav
ing in a month it will seriously
handicap our work to say the
least. With school again in prog
ress back home, a lot of the heart
throbs are sloping down in their
correspondence which leaves a
great many long faces, come mail
day.
We in the AACS have all wel
comed our new Detachment Com
mander, Capt. Powers. Our previ
ous CO, Lt. Gardner, is now our
Security and Intelligence Officer.
Two men in our outfit. Ralph
Cooper and Wayne Jackson, re
cently enjoyed a week-end trip to
Solomon. They made the trip in a
truck, which was sponsored by
Special Services. They were in
the company of Jack Stringer,
John Norris, Dave Buttopietro,
and Dick Yost, all of Hq. Det
With sports not functioning
strongly yet, the men in Hq. Det.
have been spending most of their
spare time at pinochle. On Mon
day, eight of them made up the
only doubles partners to play in
the pinochle tournament in the
Service club. Cpl. Noonan spent
Wednesday evening cutting the
rug in the dance class. People kept
invading the savings box that Cpl.
Maier keeps by his locker. The
only trouble is that they got tired
of counting pennies.
Several members of the 761st
MP Bn. found last week-end to be
quite exciting as they brought
back last of game. Pfc. Price still
continued to run up his string of
parmigan for the season and Ko
val his number of fish. Pfc. Nixon
remains to be the luckiest fellow
in the outfit at bingo as he walked
off with a host of prizes last
Thursday night.
