DOG MOTHERS TIGER’S BABIES: CINCINNATI, OH - A female police dog with a puppy of her own is called into emergency service to save the lives of orphaned tiger cubs. The dog nurses the cubs with the same fondness she shows for her own off-spring. 4. MARBLE FREED IN HUGE BLAST: CARRARA, ITALY - The world’s most famous marble quarries stage a spectacular show, exploding twenty tons of dynamite to loosen a million tons of the beautiful white stone. With the blast, great clouds of dust roll down the valley. 5.

HUSKIES WARM UP FOR WINTER: WONALANCET, NH - Mrs. Milton Seeley’s far-famed sled-dogs get out on the roads for the first limbering up exercises that will prepare them for a hard winter ahead.

NAVY SINKS ARMY IN FINAL MINUTES: PHILADELPHIA, PA - More than 102,000 persons, the East’s greatest football crowd, sees the Middies beat the Cadets in the last three minutes of a dead-locked Service classic in the Municipal Stadium. The tremendous throng thrills to the pre-game marching of Navy and Army men in uniform and then holds its collective breath for four quarters during the titanic struggle.

Then Schmidt crashes across for the lone tally and as Ingram kicks the point, Navy wins, 7 to 0. (LOCAL – LOS ANGELES) U.S.C.—U.C.L.A. IN 7-7 TIE.
