End LARGEST
Revised Plans for Shasta
Project Call for Wall
$50 Feet High
BY JACK WELLER
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 3.
(UP).-The federal government
has revised its plans for Shasta
dam of the Central valley water
project and the structure will be
the second largest concrete dam
in the world.
1t will be more immense than
Boulder dam, stemming the flood
waters Of the Colorado river, and
will be second in size only to the
Grand Coulec dam on the Column
bia river in Washington.
Although Boulder dam will re-
main unchallenged as the world
highest structure of its type,
Shasta dam will be more than
twice as long across its crest. 1t
will be 300, compared TO Bould-
cr's 1882 feet. Grand Coulcc,
spreading 1900 feet acros sthc
Columbia, is the worlds widest.
The Northwcst's dam also will
contain more concrete than any
other. The Grand Coulee dam
and power houses will require
1880, 900 cubic yards of con,
crete, Shasta will take 100000
cubic yards. Boulder required
100000 cubic yards.
56O.FOOT WALL
Revised plans for Shasta call
for a wall approximately $50 feet
high. Behind the dam n storage
reservoir of 100000 acre feet
will range 35 miles or more into
the upper Sacramento river can
yon 10 miles from Rcdding. Pre-.
viously, the dams storage capacity
was set tentatively at 100000
acre feet of water from the Pit,
McCloud and Sacramento rivers,
Although it will not be rs high
as Boulder's 727 feet, it will sur,
pass Grand Coulcc's crest cleva'
tion of 553 feet.

Lansing Bows To
Elkin In Closing
Battle OF Season

The Lansing football season came
to a close last Wednesday after
noon when the Skylanders bowed
to a determined Elkin eleven by
the count of IA to 0.
Despite inclement weather which
made practice irregular and Sc
ries of minor injuries, the Lansing
Skylanders had a fairly successful
season and Coach Robert Morphis
is due a great deal of credit for de-
veloping such a fine team. A check
up reveals that the Skylanders won
three games, tied two and lost four.
In the first half of the Elkin
game, the Ashe county boys out
played their rivals, but did not
have quite enough offensive strength
to push over a touchdown.
After the half, Elkin came back
strong and with the aid of severe
penalties on the Lansing gridders
the Blanketeers registered a couple
of touchdoWns.

To Move Parkway
Service Offices
To N. WilkesbOro

North Wilkesboro, Nov. 29.-The
National Parkway Service Office OF
the Blue Ridge Parkway now To-
Gated in Galax, Va, will be moved
to North Wilkesboro, it was learned
today from a letter from Represen-
tative R. L. Doughton to S. V.
Tomlinson, chairman of the Public
Affairs committee of the North
Wilkesboro Kiwanis Club.
Agitation to have the Park Ser
vice office moved here was begun
several months ago when efforts
were made to speed up payment
for about 1000 acres of land in
Wilkes and Allegheny counties for
park service use and which is be-
ing developed into The Bluff Park,
outstanding wayside recreational
grounds along a 10O-mile section of
the scenic boulevard.
The change in office location will
enable close contact with the park
development in northern Wilkes
and southern Allegheny and Ashe.
The work is steadily progressing.
Incidentally, the park service
has begun condemnation proceed
ing in federal court against the park
lands as a friendly move to facili-
tate payment to the land owners
for the lands they optioned about
two years ago. Park service attor-
neys said titles satisfactory to the
government could not be obtained
by direct negotiations with the
owners.

With the exception OF the Dig
"bowl" battles, witch include the
rose, sugar, cotton and other kinds
of vegetable and agricultural bowls,
the 1887 football season is now over.
Duke and North Carolina both
had their eyes on the bowls, but
they got into each others way and
while they've finished the season
with excellent records, they're still
"bowl-less".
Appalachian State Teachers Col
lege Mountaineers are the only
''bowlers" in the state. Kidd Brew
er's famous team will play Mississ-
ippi State Teachers College in some
+ kind of "bowled post season" en-
counter at Gulf Port. The Cotton
State Teachers have swell team,
but they won't have a chance
against the eleven from Boone.
These boys simply can't be stop
ped this year.
The national ranking of the
"frst ten" gridiron teams in
America was announced Tuesday
and we were amazed to note that
Carolina was not listed in this
bracket. Here's the APP line-up:
Pittsburgh, California, Fordham,
Alabama, Minnesota, Villanova,
Dartmouth, Louisiana State, Notre
Dame and Santa Clair. The Tar
Heels and Duke were ranked in
the second ten, with North Caro-
lima having team 10 and Duke 20.
Pitt has already turned it's
thumbs down on the Rose Bowl
bid, at least the Pitt players did
after declaring something of
sit-down strike, demanding num-
Der Of things. Therefore, either
alabama or Fordham will no doubt
get the bid.
Duke climbed to great heights
last Saturday when the Blue Devils
held Pitt to 10 points. In fact
Honey Hackney contributed those
10 points to the Painters by his
fUmbles, otherwise it would have
BEEN scoreless game. There
were around 10000 who sat and
stood in the rain to see the ma
TONS big battle.
Up at Philadelphia, there were
100000 who saw the Army sink
the Navy gridiron ship to the tune
of so, with an aerial thrust.
Lansing Skylanders finished
their season by dropping the Ell
kin game IA to 0. Coach Morphis
had good team and deserved to
win practically all of his games.
Next year, if Coach stays at Lam
sing, which We certainly hope he
will, although we realize that
there are several much larger
schools in the state that would like
to have his services, we predict
that Lansing will not only win the
Appalachian conference title, but
also win nine-tenths of it's games.
Unfortunately, several of his stars
of this years squad are members
Of the senior class. They include
James, Fletcher, King, Blevins.
Next year we are also in hopes
that one or two other Ashe county
high schools will decide to play
football. How about it Paul and
Turbyfill? Bruce GRAPHICAL should
give the matter serious considera-
tiOn as well aS soma Of tho otbor
schools.
Football is great game and is
rapidly becoming liking of the
American sports. But now it's
time for the other great game Of
basketball, and in the future this
column will csnter its attention on
that sport.
