MOuntrail to Grow
Manchuria Barley

Stanley, N. D., Feb. 17.-(Re Thirty
thousand bushels of choice Man
churia barley have been purchased
by Mountrail county for distribution
to farmers for seeding this spring.
This is the only six-row barley being
recommended for growing in the
county this year by G. A. Fiske,
county agent.
Although q heavy yielder, Trebi
barley is not recommended because
OF its tendency to grow short where
moisture is not abundant, Ffske said.
The Manchuria variety costs slightly
more per bushel but may be seeded
at q lower rate per acre, Fiske pointed
out.

COACH AND PLAYERS
Will GET BENEFITS
FROM REVISED CODE
New Regulation Will Not De-
tract From Spectators
Viewpoint, Veteran Says
WILL FORGET OBJECTIONS
Believes Alterations Will Have
Finest Effect on Game
Since 1906 Revision

Chicago, Feb. 17.-(P)-Amos Alon-
20 Stage, ST., dean Of the countrys
football coaches and senior member
Of the rules committee, believes the
changes in the playing code will take
nothing from the game from the
spectators viewpoint, and will mean
much to coaches and players.
Stage, who will coach his forty
first university of Chicago squad next
fall, agrees with other members Of
the committee, the alterations are the
most constructive since 1906, and pre-
dicted the benefits will soon become
evident.
ITO my way of thinking he said,
"this years changes will have the
finest effect on football of any since
1906. From the spectators viewpoint
the game will seem very little chang
ed, but to coaches and players, the
changes will have very real mean
ing"
Objections against some of the
changes, particularly those barring
flying blocking and tackling, will, he
believes, be forgotten when they are
fully understood.
II happened to be chairman of the
subcommittee which altered the
blocking and tackling rules" he said,
land we acted after studying the re-
ports of Investigations of Fielding
Yost (of Michigan) and Parke Davis.
We did not mean that a player can
not leave his feet in block and tackl-
ing, but decided to restrict the action
to the instant he makes contact with
the ballcarrier, or the man he is at
tempting to block. The committee
wishes only to cut out catapulting the
body through the air, and its attend
ant danger.
Some criticism has been made
against the rule making the ball au-
tomatically dead when any part of

For Vaudeville Act

Chicago, Feb. 17.-(P)-Earl Mas
tro, little Chicago Italian, regarded
as the outstanding contender for the
world featherweight title, has given
up his ring career for one in vaude-
lille.
MAESTRO, only 20 years old and a re-
markably clever boxer, left Wednes-
day for Springfield, O., to make his
first appearance in a song and dance
act with his wife as partner.
Following his failure to take the
featherweight title from Bat Batta-
limo last November in the Chicago
stadium, Mastro accepted no more
offers for bouts. even refusing an
other chance at Battalino. During
his short career he has beaten al
most every star in his class, includ-
ing Bud Taylor, Fidel la Barba and
Eddie Shea.

Gene venzke and Leo Sexton to
Attempt to Better on

New York, Feb 17.-(H)-Two rec
ord smashing performers. Gene
Venzke and Leo Sexton, bid fair to
give the home club major share of
the hcnors in the annual New York
Athletic club indoor track and field
meet tonight.
Venzke, the brightest star uncov-
cred in an indoor season that has
been full of stars. tops great field
in the Baxter mile and is consider
ed almost sure bet to win. The
question before the fans is whether
he can better his own indoor mile
mark Of All 1-5.
Sexton, who heaved q 16-pound
shot for a world indoor record last
Saturday, is another outstanding
favorite with only Herman Brix, the
big Californian who formerly held
the mark, to challenge him.
II Venzke can't come home ahead
Of the fine collection of runners who
make up the field for tonight's race,
another runner who wears the N. Y.
A. c. colors is rated as second choice.
He is Leo Lermond. who chased the
PottstoWn. Pa. youngster to his new
record ten days ago. Challengers to
their supremacy are Carl Coan of
Pennsylvania, who won the Baxter
cup last year, Frank Crowley of
Manhattan college and Glenn Daw-
son. University of Oklahoma speed

Heading the list of "outsiders' who

British Are Opposed
To Disarmament Plan

London, June 28-(P)-The British
cabinet was understood Tuesday to
have turned down more or less dlplo-
matte thumbs on President Hoover's
disarmament proposals.
After discussion of the Hoover
plan for more than two hours Monday
night, the ministers were reported to
have agreed the plan did not provide
for enough naval vessels for the
needs of the empire.
Sir John Simon, foreign secretary,
and Sir Herbert Samuel, who remain
ed here for the conference, prepared
to return to Geneva to report on the
conference to Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald. No formal announce
ment was made here.
The cabinet was reported to have
been OF the opinion that plan
which permitted fewer large ships
and more small ones would save just
as much money and suit Britain bet
ter
The Dominions would have to be
consulted Sir John Simon said, be-
fore any formal decision could be an
nounced.
Stanley Baldwin, Conserv tiv e
leader, who acted as president Of the
cabinet in MacDonald's absence, told
the house of commons there were
many other counter proposals a t
Geneva which the British would have
to consider as we'll as the Hoover
plan.
