Koch has done much photograph

ically stored his data away and
some day hopes to publish volume

of architecture.
Lack of competent craftsmen has
slowed the project, Koch said, be-
cause after training "a craftsman

But that is as the government would
have it-training competent men

hard on the director of the project,

NEW ORLEANS, CUP)-Rchard
! Koch can't save his charges so he
is taking pictures of them instead.
Koch, head of Louisiana's divi-
sion of the WPA Historic American
Building survey, is making records,
drawings of the states old planta-
ton homes and historic buildings
before they fall to pieces from age
and neglect.
The days of Louisiana's great
plantation mansions are thing
of the past. The old homes, some
of them built of marble and having
rs rooms, are crumbling. Their Win
dow panes are smashed and their
roofs caved in. Their beauty, how
ever, still is apparent 1t is Koch's
job to record it for the Congression-
al Library in Washington. where
his pictures, drawings and measure
ments will remain on permanent
record after the old homes have
become dust.
Mint Julep Days Gone
The popular conception of the
Louisiana cane country is one of
great manor homes with fields of
cane stretching out from all sides,
the planter established on his front
porch slipping a mint julep. All that
has gone. Today most of the cane
is raised on huge, highly CONNER
cialized and mechanical plantations
greatly exceeding the production of
the states 9,540 small farms aVerag-
ing 100 acres each.
There are a few scattered plan
| tationS on the Missouri river in
Louisiana which are kept up in
their antebellum style, Koch points
out, but for the most part they
have been divided into small farms.
Usually amid these farms, with
their humble dwellings, stands an
old plantation home-magnificent in
it's decay, but useless to the small
farmer.
Just as the ruins of the Forum
at Rome and the Acropolis at Athen
were caused by poorer people who
borrowed" their stones and wood
to build smaller residences, so are
the old Louisiana mansions being
stripped of their woodwork and
masonry.
Blueprints Also Drawn
For three years Koch and staff
of assistants have been recording
the architecture of the old land
marks and homes in Louisiana.
Some $50 places have been photo
graphed. This means every detail
of exterior and interior has been
taken and dimensions have been

about doing his own sleuthing
for q five gallon container OF
ice cream that literally seemed

boys admitted it. So it was an
hour or two in the jug that cool

Country Club Trophy
Race Is Interesting
Red Hot Match of Season Staged
BY b. Schoefihoff and Ed
Peterson

Shades Of. Allah! Are those
Arabs? No, they can't be. Those
are handkerchiefs over those golf
ers' heads. For mosquitoes are
more to be feared than your OPP
ponent's score on the golf course
as the tournament play in the Han
-son-Emerson trophy race advanced
to sitting heat in the first flight
play off.
The red hot and blue match OF
the year was the semi-final round
in the first flight with Bernie
Schoenhoff meeting Ed Peterson
The boys went into a tie round to
wind up the first nine even. The
second nine found neither letting
up and eighteen holes found them
tied. 1t was not until the 21st hole
that Schoenhoff finally beat out
one up.
That was Sunday morning. That
afternoon an anti-climatical match
wound up the first flight matches
and designated Bill Bryan as one
of the winners to compete in the
final bracket for the trophy. In
the playoff with Bernie Bill wound
up the match on the 18th hole G
and 4. Bernie had a chance to tie
from the 18th, but Bills taking the
18th eliminated chance for the tie
and the inevitable playoff.
AS the first flight wound up It's
play, it is reported that some
flights are still tagging. Some OF
the first round matches have not
been played as yet. According to
the tournament chairman, the fin
al playoff will be played between
the 6 flight winners. Two will draw
byes, and two will find elimination
in the first round. The four re-
manning will branch off in brack-
cts until the winner is designated.
Last Thursday evening the reg
ular weekly tournament play G.
w. Steiner won on the blind DOGGY
drawing. Match time found he and
Larry Cooper tied with a SO net.
The draw found Mr.. Steiner win
ming a berth on the famous mug.
This Thursday evening, because of
the Stearns County Fair, regular
weekly tournament play will be
discontinued, 1t was announced, to
be resumed again next week.

Cubs Lead In The
Little Worlds Series
Midgets Are Staging Wonderful
Baseball Games-Winners
Get Breaks

In the third game Of the Little
World Series between the Junior
Midget top ranking clubs, the Cubs
and the Tigers, the Cubs asserted
themselves in a fine display OF
baseball to shut out the Tigers for
the first time in the series 8 to 0,
The game put the Cubs out In
front by three games with the bal
ance hanging uneasily for the Tig-
ers. One more game for the Cubs
and the series will be over.
In the two games preceding the
Cubs had their hands full with the
heavy hitting Of the Tigers, but
Friday in the third game the Cubs
collected 10 hits, including two
doubles by Wiener and Rosedahl
turned in eight runs for the lead
ers. The boys who touched the fin
al sack and challked up the mark
ers for the Cubs Friday were
Mooney, Fish. Kleinschmidt. Pa
quin, F. Rowland, and ]. Rowland.
The Tigers garnered their smallest
average Of hits when they connect
ed only three times.
Pitching for the Cubs, Rosedahl
set himself up as quite a pitcher
with IS strikeouts In the seven inn
ing encounter. He allowed three
walks on balls, and put another
one on when he hit him. Cotton,
chucking for the Tigers, got four
strikeouts against the heavy stick
men on the Cubs and was relieved
in the 9Th inning by Klein. Klein
allowed 8 walks but topped Col
tons record with strikeouts. Col
ton passed no one on balls.
Meanwhile the boys are straining
at the leash this week as the Coun-
ty Fair splashed into the middle OF
their schedule. With the pendulum
nicely balanced where the next
game means a new fight for the
Tigers or the winning Of the SER
les for the Cubs, the boys are go
ing to be out there next week bat
Ting. Two games in the meantime
have been scheduled with Melrose
one here and one there. An aggre-
gate team from the Midgets Will
comprise the competition.
