A disturbingly small crowd
saw the Cardinal and Gold of
Bill Patterson set up the island
crew as hot contenders for lo
cal prep supremacy, running
its seasonal record to 2-1 after
an early season setback by Sit
ka in the finals of the Lions
annual Tourney. Another win
by the Pat erson coached team
would dampen any hopes SJS
or Sitka may have entertained
whereas a stumble by the Ed
gecumbe outfit would throw the
race back ini o a mad scramble.
Such a picture would surprise
no one in this unipreditable loop
The Sheldon Jackson quint
failed for the third time in a
row to play up to its pre-season

to show its potentialities right

Coldest weather of

by The Associated Press
The coldest weather okf the
season, with temperatures piking
ing as far as 33 below zero,
stung the east today.
ft Was the same old, cold
story in the central section of

as bone-chilling as Monday.

merely elected Yugoslavia to

The understanding was, how
ever, that the Yugoslav delega

one year and the Philippines
would be elected.
As their final act, the dele
gates stood for a minute of sil
ence. President Maza then
banged ithe gavel to end the

Newsmen were snacked by
Mrs. Bradshaw's pitiable con
dition as she turned a blank
‘dare to their questions. One
reporter remarked she looked
“worse than BishoD (Afliphone)
Ferroni,” an Haitian Roman
Oaltholic bishop who had to be
carried across the border
bridge on Sept. 17.
Dr. Bradshaw had been in
prison — first in Kwantung
and then in Canton — since
their arrest in March. 1961, but
his wife was transferred Ito
house arrest in Ganlton when
slhe became ill in 1963.

public any changes against
them but the doctor said he
was told last October they
were accused of spying.
