Outstanding Leader
in Work to Preserve
Wild Life Visits Ely
Veteran Game Warden is
Speaker at High School
Assembly Meet.
LECTURE IS PRAISED
Declares Outdoor Life is
Strong Crime Deterrent
for Boys and Girls.

William F. Munich, nationally known
conservation field lecturer and natural
ist, author of many published articles
on conservation, was guest speaker al
at assembly of the high school Tues
day morning. So broad has Mr. Munch's
experience been in addressing high
school groups that Ely and Information
al Falls were the only audiences in the
state to which he was paying his ini-
tial visit.
A Minnesota game warden for &c
years, Mr.. Munich is recognized as ar
outstanding leader in the work of pre-
serving wild life in the northwest. In
cluded in his talk were many years OF
experience in conservation work In the
last two years Mr.. Munich has delivered
$50 addresses to more than 10000 per-
sons. He has also spoken at scores OF
All club and Boy Scout meetings. Dur
ing his active career as a warden he
game refugees, one of which contains
$4,000 acres and has assisted in form
ing more than Is sportsmen's clubs.
Cites Court Records
If the boys and girls of this nation
could all have the privilege of playing
in the great out-of-doors this country
would no longer have to apologize for
its high percentage of juvenile GRIMM
ality, Mr.. Munich declared.
Court records prove conclusively, .
he said, that of all the minor youths
who are taken into custody for some
infraction of the written law, only an
infiniteSimal minority ever had the op-
portunity of wandering along the
streams and lakes, among the birds and
flowers. No one can think other than
clean thoughts under such an environ
ment."
Explaining that game wardens do not
take delight in being hardboiled, Mr.
Munich ridiculed the street corner
smart aleck" and urged that young
folks think of wardens as helpers in
the fight to keep wild game from ex-
termination
Lists Public Enemies
Public conservation enemy number
one, he said, is the house cat which de-
Stroys an inestimable number of valu-
able birds and small animals besides
spreading germs among humans. Cats
he said, kill not for food but for the
lust of killing. Public enemy number
two, he stated is fire. Farmers who
burn their meadows in the hope of de-
stroying grasshopper eggs and improv-
ing the fertility of the soil do ire

j. C.. Students
Seek Football as
Sport Next Year

Football for the Ely Junior College
in 1888 is the aim of a committee from
the local institution, which has been
gathering data on the subject and will
report their findings to the board of
education with request that the pig
skin sport be introduced in the college
here.
Ely is the only Junior college in the
Northern College Conference which has
not football team. According to a
report from the committee, the Ely
schools enrolment is not the smallest
in the conference. Ely's enrolment is
131 of which about 80 are boys, some Of
which have played much high school
football and who will form a strong
nucleus for a representative eleven.

ELY GRIDDERS
WIN STRING IS
CUT BY FALLS
Border City Eleven Hold Ely
To Tie for Fourth Time in
Four Skirmishes.
BY "Shammy" Somrock

The Ely high school football teams
consecutive victory string was snapped
at four straight last Thursday after
noon at international Falls when the
border city high gridders held the
locals to scoreleSS tie.
The result of the contest did not come
as surprise to close followers of the
game with an eye toward the record
of Ely-Falls games of the past. II
seems that Ely football teams are
linked" when playing at the Falls
for the locals have never been able
to win at the border city. The best
that Ely has been able to get at the
Falls is tie game. In 1881, 1888, 1895
and again this year, games between Ely
and the Falls have ended in tie. Three
of the contests have been scoreieSs
while the 1885 clash ended at Gall.
confidence had more than a
little to do in the game Thursday for
the Ely team did not show near the
form displayed in its four previous
games this season. Rated heavy favor
ties over the border city club because
of their recent victory over Virginia,
which had defeated the Falls by three
touchdowns, the Ely teams mental at
titude was not up to being factor in
producing their best form. Meeting
stubborn resistance from fighting
Falls line, the locals were unable to
launch their powerful drive which has
featured other games this season. AL
though having several scoring .oppor-
tunities, the Ely eleven was lacking in
punch to put the ball across the goal
for a score.
Ely was saved from probable defeat
in the game by a Falls player who was
called for clipping penalty when
Strand, a halfback, intercepted an Ely
forward pass and ran it back for a
touchdown. Contrary to other reports,
Strands touchdown was not disallowed
because he ran into an official. He did
bump into an official right after the
interception but the act was in his
favor for it put the official between him
and several would-be Ely tacklers.
Although IIcu ny UilS I dis, ELY Stlil
holds the top ranking among range
football teams with four victories and
no defeats. The locals are tied for
high scoring honors with Virginia, each
having ia points. The Ely squad has
had 10 points scored against them
while Virginia's opponents have chalked
up IS. Perko, Ely fullback, is the high
scorer of the range with 46 points.
Loushin and Buckley are among the
top ten scorers, each with "a points.
Other Ely scorers are, Hall, IL; Prola,
6; and Stukel, 2.
Ely meets Gilbert at Gilbert this
Saturday The Falls game has I'M
doubtedly erased the over-confidence of
the Ely eleven, and as result, the
locals should be able to produce the
brand of football of which they are
capable and score win over the Gill
bert squad.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
KEENE ADJUDGED TO
HAVE KILLED SELF

The death in Chesapeake Bay, of
Charles F. Keene, 63-year old Wash
ington real estate man, took on the
appearance of suicide in the report of
an investigating police officer.
Keene disappeared a month ago
from the cabin of bay boat on which
he had bought one-way ticket to
Norfolk. Eighteen days later-on
Memorial Day-his body, bullet in
the head and a leather bag tied a.
round his neck, was taken from the
water near Smith Island.
Suggestion of foul play have been
rife, but after receiving the report of
Sergt. Marlin Brubaker, of the State
Police, F. Kirk Maddrix, States At
torney, announced:
"The preponderance of evidence al
this time tends to show that Keene
apparently took his own life. The
case is still OPEN"
Maddrix gave out statement con-
tanning, he said, the substance of the
police sergeant's report, and which
suggested financial difficulties as a
possible motive for suicide.

were injured in an explosion which
ripped to pieces a small restaurant
and shook the business district of the

BELLE HAVEN FAMILY
ROBBED BY BURGLAR

Mr.. and Mrs. George C. Duer, of
Belle Haven, were anaesthetized and
robbed as they slept in their home last
week.
Mr.. Duer was preparing to leave for
Philadelphia on Sunday and in addi-
ton to approximately $4,000 in cash
which he had in his pocketbook he
also had several checks for about
$50 each. The thief removed his
clothing from the bedroom and ran
sacked it down stairs, taking all cash
and checks. The clothing was left in
the lower part of the house and in
the yard.
From the appearance of the yard
and the dwelling it is believed that the
thief attempted entrance through a
rear window, finding this securely
locked he went to the side of the
house and effected entrance. He is
then believed to have gone to the Sec
ond floor of the house and either for
ced the bedroom full of some type
of gas or saturated the pillows with
an anaesthetic, rendering Mr.. Duer
and his wife oblivious to noises about
them.
Mrs. Duer is reported to have a

clined to play baseball at Gordy Park
on Sundays some of the other clubs in
the Eastern Shore League have re-
fused to transfer such postponed
games to Monday night without finan-
cial concession.
The Salisbury Club has indicated it
would not make such concessions on
the transferred games and Manager
Jake Flowers went to Chestertown to-
day to confer with League President
j. Thomas Kibler on the matter.
Joe Cambria, owner of the Sails
bury club, abandoned Sunday games
in Salisbury after being informed it
was violation of the statewide Sun
day "blue laws" Other Maryland
clubs, however, are continuing their
Sunday home games without inter-
ference from the enforcement officers.
The clubs decision was given Tues
day at a meeting in Cambridge, al
though there was no official league
action taken.
Secretary Murphy, of the Salisbury
Club, said the clubs demanded that
Salisbury pay the visiting clubs road
expenses and give them one-half of
the gate receipts for that game.
The leagues bylaws permit each
club to retain the gate receipts for
all home games.
AS result the Salisbury Club to
day appeared faced with three alter
native moves: to divide the gate re-
ceipts and play the Sunday schedule
on Monday night; to postpone the
games until the club is scheduled to
play there again, which would mean
six double headers in addition to those
postponed because of rain or wet
grounds; to bargain with the clubs, re-
fusing to play in their towns on Sun
days unless they would agree to the
transfer to the Monday dates.
The Sunday games were put into
the schedule because some of the
smaller towns said they needed pro-
ceeds from Sunday games to meet the
clubs financial obligations.
