Greek Guerillas Still Fighting LONDON J an. 8 (U.R) Greek patriots, ' often barefoot and always al-ways poorly equipped, are harassing- the Axis with , a steadily " growing- guerilla force. Prime Minister Emmanuel J. Tsouderos v of the exiled Greek government asserted today. In an exclusive interview, Tsouderos Tsou-deros told the United Press that "Germany has been morrally defeated de-feated by Greece." Guerilla bands, especially in mountainous districts, have been stabbing at Axis troops, supplies and communications night and day, with the result that thousands of German, Italian and Bulgarian ' troops have been held in Greece and" reinforcemets have been called, he said. "Our people have never stopped fighting," Tsouderos declared. "The Greek people despite starvation star-vation have kept their morale at a high lever. Their faith and their enthusiasm have been kindled by recent allied victories." He said that open warfare had broken out in some parts of Greece and that the district of Karpenesion in central Greece is controlled by the patriots. Tropical Storm Strikes Hawaii HONOLULU, Jan. 8 (U.R) A severe tropical storm caused extensive ex-tensive damage to highways, public pub-lic utilities and defense projects in Honolulu, but the city has returned re-turned to normal, it was disclosed today. The official announcement of teh storm, delayed until now for reasons of security, reported no casualties. Like the native Hawaiians. the city's white residents went barefoot bare-foot because the streets had been ransformed into rivers. The fashionable Kahala, Wai-kiki Wai-kiki and Diamond head residential districts were hit "considerably," but there was no estimate in dollars dol-lars of the damage done. Floodwaters inundated hundreds of underground shelters. The downpour, described as the heaviest recrded in seven years, flooded homes and business establishments estab-lishments and afforded natives an opportunity to paddle down the streets in homemade boats.

Driving northward from captured Elkhotevo, - Coast League May Curtail Schedule SAN FRANCISCO , Jan. 8 U.R) War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt's statement that baseball players are not essential to the war effort may mean dropping of the regular Pacific Coast league schedule this season in favor of weekend doubleheaders, Charles Graham, owner of the San. Francisco Fran-cisco Seals, said today. "Coast baseball will not be able to operate six days a week because be-cause players in war work will be asked to stay on their jobs," Graham said. McNutt probably is preparing owners for such a ruling, the Seals' owner added. "Without the men now engaged in war jobs, our club couldn't operate op-erate this season." he said. "All but two of our players are working work-ing in shipyards and other war industries. . I don't' see how an ablebodied " man engaged in war work could quit that work for baseball, I thinltf the players should be frozen to theif jobs." An arrangement could be worked work-ed out for Sutarday and Sunday games, Graham said. "We are making plans to do this and we will be ready to do it, if and when they let us know the final score for this season." SprouJ Predicts Curtailed Sports SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8 ,(U.R) Sharp curtailments in intercollegiate intercolleg-iate sports during 1943 due to decreased de-creased enrollments and new army-navy plans were predicted today by president Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of California Cali-fornia and Chancellor Ray Lyman Wilbur of Stanford. Dr. Sproul, who recently returned re-turned from conferences in Washington, Wash-ington, said the army probably will send no more than 1000 men to any college at one time and the actual number may be far lower. At California, this would mean a drop in male enrollment from 5545. to 1127, when students under 18 years of age are counted. Dr. Wilbur predicted collegiate athletics in the future mainly would be of inter-army and inter-navy inter-navy character. California's undergraduate division, divi-sion, insofar as men students are concerned, may approximate that of a -junior .college, Dr. Sproul taid. Due to the fact that most air raid alarms in New Jersey are sirens, they have been ' banned from use on all automobiles Including In-cluding police cars, fire apparatus and ambulances "except in event of an extreme emergency."
