This sports tale has q believe it or
not flavor. 1t concerns James Frog"
Mcdonald, who was great all-'round
athlete. Frog" had athleticitis. He
wanted to journey through life going
from college to college and his ideas
of what a young man should wear
in clothes were football and basket
ball uniforms.
Frog" played at Billings high school
under OFT Romney. Later he went to
Beloit University and played three
years at that Wisconsin college. His
Montana buddies on the Beloit team
were John McAuliffe, T. Grady, Til
Nelson, Tom Walsh, Lefty" Carol
and Soup" Schaeffer, all of Butte,
and Ted Algeo and Norv Langworthy
Of Billings. This Montana group tore
up many gridiron in the Middle West
With their mania for touchdowns.
Tommy Mills was head coach. The
good that the late Knute Rockne
called him to Notre Dame to coach
the freshmen squad. Later Tommy
moved to Washington as head coach
of Georgetown. He didn't do so well
with the Hoyas.
Because he didn't have an army Of
Montana kids at Georgetown may have
been the reason Mills didn't hit 1t
off in the East.
Exposed at Fourth College
From Beioit, Frog" moved to Con-
zaga and played several years for
Clipper" Smith at end. Then he went
to Utah State at Logan, where he
was all-Rocky Mountain fullbacks

high he elected TO go to Billings be-
cause he had several auntS and uncles
there. And ne wanted to play for OFT
Romney. Football was Greek to him
then, but he learned fast. With ais
$50 pounds and natural ability he
earned a job at end. And made all
state several times.
The first game OF his first year
was with Sheridan, Wyo., high. Bill
lings won 30 to z. Billings missed all
tries for extra point. After the game.
while everyone was jubilant, Frog
was weeping. Romney asked him what
allied him. Between sobs he muttered
Gee, that was a tough one to lose,
what do you meanq" ROmney
asked.
FROG" replied: Think Of us get
ting five chances to score a point
and not making any Of them, while
the other fellows scored on their only
try"
Hurt Playing Butte Hi
Frog" thought you merely scored
touchdowns for the sake Of getting the
try for goal. He thought the converted
points were the only ones to count.
Mcdonald wasn't q greene very long
When Bernie Bierman was coaching
Butte high, Mcdonald playing against
Butte, broke his Adams apple. Rom
ney wanted to rush him to a hospital,
but Frog" insisted on going back into
the game, declaring the apple wasn't
so essential as his arms and body in
stopping those Butte halfbackS.
At Whitehall, Mcdonald was a bas-
ketbalI hotshot. He had no trouble

sCHREIBER OF WISCONSIN

/
/ DR.. w. e. Schneider, director Of phys
I ical education at Montana University
/ is known as DOC" or Bill to his Mon
tana friends. When understanding for
Wisconsin University in 1901 -02-03, the
headlines and news stories in the Sun
day morning papers glorified Earl
Schrieber, Badger end, for this and
that sparkling play.
Doc" was one of the Badger greats.
The Wisconsin team of 1908 was the
best in the niddleWest, If you listened
to wv" men, while Minnesotans and
Michiganites would advance claims to
prove that their alma matters produced
teams just as good. One OF Schrieber's
teammates was the immortal Pat
ODea, whose contribution to the rec
ord books is q 63-yard drop kick for
a field goal-an all-time record. ODea
was the kicking phenom of his day.
The Badgers were coached by Phil
King, perhaps the most successful men
tor of all the men who have master
minded at Madison.
At Montana University, DOC" Bill
or Earl, is one of the most popular Of
the faculty family. Except for mild
sprinkling of gray hair and some fac
tal lines picked up in the last decade,
the DOC" is a replica Of the Schrieber
of Wisconsin grid fame Of 1908. When
he footballed, DOC" weighed 1913
pounds and that's all the weight he
owns today None Of the pounds are
prominent in the places where pound
age has habit of showing off in that
period of years when life is supposed
to begin.
The big gymnasium on the Montana
campus is known as Schrieber cathed-
raj. His congregation includes all reg
iStered students at the University. In
his office, containing files of his de-
partment, are thousands and thou
sands of cards giving data on his con-
gregations of this and other years. In
his office also, tucked away In secreted
places, are other data relating to ath-
letic records of Wisconsin teams, in
Guiding the Schrieber years and those
since News clippings, school papers and
year books leave no doubt In the mind
of the reader as to the football PROV
ess that was Schrieber's and Wiscon-
sins, particularly in 1908.
Hippo" Huelsman, the greatest
league slugger Of all time, according

AT the same time, the state board Of
equalization reported q consistent de-
crease in the number of horses and
mules In this state over the past dec
ade. In 1927, the total number Of
equines listed on tax rolls was 432 242,
and this figure had declined TO 231,-
029 by 1886.
However, the board said, as the total
number Of animals decreased, the aver
age value increased In 1929, each horse
or mule had an average value of S23.52.
By 1888, this had fallen to $500 but
by 1886 the average value had risen to
5000.

FIGHT ON REALTY
FRAUD EXTENDED
West Virginia and Maine
Legislatures Adopt
Licensing Acts.

Action of Legislatures this year has
already added two States to the list
OF oommonwealths in which the pub
lie is protected against real estate
frauds and incompetent real estate
agents through State licensing Of real
estate brokers and statesmen.
States so acting were West Virginia
and Maine. Their newly-enacted
license laws follow lines advocated by
the West Virginia Real Estate Associa-
ton and the Maine Real Estate As
sociation, respectively, and urged by
Boards for all States.
A total Of 20 States and in addition
the territory of Hawaii now have such
protective laws. With a period of in
creasing real estate activity assumed
to be ahead of us it is a matter Of
great public importance that protec-
ton be set up against losses through
action Of dishonest or incompetent
agents.
D. c. Measure Pends.
States which have similar measures
now before their Legislatures include
Texas, where the Texas Association Of
Real Estate Boards warmly advocates
the proposed law; Connecticut, where
the Connecticut Association of Real
Estate Boards has made license legis-
lation a principal objective; Mime
sofa, where real estate boards of the
State are studying the measure now
on the House calendar; Missouri,
where the bill as introduced incorpo-
rated paragraph that would specifi-
cally cover the right Of licensed real
estate brokers to draw up the ordinary
documents involved in a real estate
transaction.

The bill, supported by the Washington
Real Estate Board, would list as un-
ethical trade practices for which
license might be revoked. Many of
the items so included in the code
for the real estate brokerage industry
were negotiated under N. r. A. The
real estate license laws of Nebraska
and Of Ohio already include in this
way list of unethical practices, for
which license may be revoked.
In the Texas act there is a special
section setting up measure of sub
division control such as is already
found for example in the California
act. The Texas bill would cover sub
divisions both within and without the
State. The bill would require that
