Should the Timps drop this game, it is doubtful that they will be able to keep up with the pace set by Pinney Beverage. Bev-erage. The Millmen hold an edge over the Timps so far this season. The boys from Mill Town won three out of five games in the first half. Manager Collins is anxious to tegister a win over "Chuck" Archibald's nine. It was. Magna that trimmed Provo in the final game of the play-off lart year, and Lob doesn't want the Millers to spoil his great beginning this season. Magna is still very much in the running for second half honors. A win for them today means more than a step toward the top. A win for the Timps will keep them on top of the standings and will give Magna three losses. In such an event the race between Provo and Pinney should be torrid. tor-rid. Today's game will be the last for the Kearns soldiers on the various squads for a short period. The length of that period depends de-pends entirely on how well they fare at ' the National Semi-Pro tourney. The Kearns team leaves Monday Mon-day morning by air, to take part in the Wichita meet Last year they were semi-finalists, semi-finalists, but few expect them to stay that long this year. Practically every team in the Industrial league will be weakened weaken-ed by the soldiers absence. However How-ever Pinney, Brigham City and Provo should feel the jolt most because they are carrying the greatest number of army men. If Kearns is eliminated by Friday, Fri-day, they expect to be back by Aug. 19. Provo draws a bye Wednesday Wed-nesday and faces Murry next Sunday. Harry Eisenstat, major league portsider, will not be with the Kearns boys at Wichita, and will probably be around to give the Timps a lift for the Murray game.

Orr, who was clocked for the 440-yard run in :46.8 seconds in the Princeton Invitational meet in 1944, said that he wasn't able to run that fast now because he has been on constant guard duty which has given him little chance to train properly. He has been in the .army two years and six months and was in combat with a howitzer squadron.
