Football Game Amazes Moscow in Colorful Open Field
By Eddie Moscow on Oct 7 a crowd in Moscow watched Americans stage a football game in an open park between the Moscow river and the Volga canal amid Sokolsky music. The game ended as players tired and a baseball exhibition followed. Red units were within 130 miles of the rain center, with the Donets basin recaptured as the Red Army holds lines along the Dnieper from Orsha to near Zaporozhye and Melitopol as Moscow's dispatches stress consolidation and repair after Nazi retreat.
