MONTANA SPORTS TALES
(By Joe L. Markham

When the news was published
that G. OFT ROmney, athletic di-
rector and coach at Brigham
Young University, had resigned, 20
engage In business, IL was, and 10
wasn't a surprise to this writer.
ROmney, a former Utah U and
Montana State college athlete, had
been the recipient of many attrae-
tive business offers. OFT was
wrapped up in the vocation he fol-
lowed and wanted to continue. He
was intensely interested in the
physical and athletic development
of young men. He was a great COM
petitOr, a great leader. ROmney
/ was a father as well as coach 70
boys on his teams. OFT was always
happy in his work. He preferred TO
live in the Rocky Mountain region,
turning down coaching offers in
other sections of the country.
Romney, also well and favorably
known as a lecturer and after dinner
speaker, has finally decided to transfer
his energy, enthusiasm and personality
into the world Of business.
Great Popular Character
Just short time ago, 200 business
and professional men of Provo, his
home city, gave OFT ROmney a testi-
IllOAllaL NA4ll4C4. ~ MAo q AAAtNA ~ Va ~
TEEN to the capable and popular di-
rector of athletics. At the dinner, ROM
ney was told repeatedly that he was
certain to make good in his new job,
whatever kind Of work it might be.
OFT was great an-round athlete at
Utah University and Montana State.
His grid teams at Billings and East
Side high of Salt Lake, were colorful,
powerful and well oiled in every de-
tail. AT Montana State, Romney pro-
duced coed teams. The Golden Bobcats,
one of the truly great collegiate bas-
ketball teams of the country, earned
for him a fine reputation as a coach.
At Brigham Young University, OFT has
done exceedingly and succeedingly well. |

My first meeting with George OFT
niger Romney, land never knew what
the G stood for until recently, and /
thought that OFT was a complete name, |
rather than an abbreviation), was as /

On Utah's greatest basketball team IN
1912 when Utah played the Triple BIS
1t Billings. The game was won by the
Triple BIS. 43 to 10.
When Romney was selected as ath-
etic coach for Billings high school, l
vas on the reception committee. We
Jaw a lot of each other as both Of us
we're interested in athletics have fol-
owed his coaching career with interest
md our friendship has continued
through the parade Of years.
1 was a teammate of ROmney'S for
me season. Full well I knew that OFT
vas a great athlete. His reputation was
made But playing on the same team,
aused me to appreciate him more
han ever. He had the stuff; was a
of teamwork and an old
eliable in the pinches
A short time ago wrote a basket

them, and cared less.
OFT a Modest Winner
Getting back to that game with Co
lumbuS. Romney, recall, after q hot
scrimmage under the basket, slipped in
a field goal, good for two points. He
grabbed me by the arm and whispered.
That win help you win your $3.50
bet"
After the game, I asked OFT how he
found out about my placing a bet
"Oh knew about it even before you
cautioned the players not to bet on
the game" he replied knowingly.
well, it's too bad you didn't have
some dough on the game" I told OFT.
Il never bet money" replied OFT,
though occasionally / do interest my
self in a sporting proposition with a
friend My friend owes me a $50 over
coat" OFT confided.
AS for bets, the writer has always
made EN-. My best bet for today is that
DIT Romney will be a business success.

I will not attempt to describe the
contest, because played in 1t. 1t was
close, rough game. Billings, always
in the lead, won by score of 81 to "a.
1 do know that Romney, Badgely and
myself had a lot of luck, scoring all
the points from the field, while Wick
strom, doing all shooting from the
foul lines for our team, dropped IN
seven of his tries, the margin of VIC
tory Thorine did not score. His job
was to stop Jimmy Amin, the Column
bus ace, from making points, which he
succeeded in doing. 1t was big job.
Thorine hardly touched the bali in the
40 minutes of play. He played Amin.
Thorine was a stellar guard, and when
a guard, great as he might be, could
keep Amin from scoring. he was going
some.
That was the last time Thorine,
Bishop, Romney and the writer wore
playing toys. Badgely the next season,
played at Montana University, and for
several seasons after. Wickstrom was
a kid, and had plenty Of playing years
ahead of him.
1t was the bettingest basketball game
ever played in. can recall many
games the Triple BIS played, where
there was more at stake, namely, the
honor of winning from great teams such
as the New York Nationals, Portage,

Owner Can't Figure Out
Whether Hitch Hiking Dog
Smart or lust Plumb Crazy

And now comes ''Pooka." the hitch
hiking dog.
Boredom with his suburban life at
the home Of his youthful owner, Doug
las Bush of Butte, first started "Pooka
on the tail Of canine adventure.
The mongrel who owes his name TO
childs inability to pronounce Pluto
wandered from home and into the
heart OF the city. He liked the hustle
of the downtown streets and since has
been a daily visitor in the business
district
But, while "Pooka" liked the city,
he didn't like the long walk. So about
a year ago he waited at the inter-
section OF Harrison avenue and Marcia
street and jumped on the running
board Of a car when 1t stopped for
the light.
That solved the transportation prob
lem. and "Pooka" pomptly laid claim
to being the only canine commuter
in the United States.
Proud Of his reputation, "Pooka,"
day by day, went in for more dignity
and class until finally he made his
daily trips only on the better makes
of cars.
For time, when he invariably got
on cars headed in the wrong direction,
he had trouble hitching rides back
nome. But even JhaC mas been rOned
out fairly well now. By catching cars
on Arizona, Utah or Front streets he
usually manages to arrive at his des-
tination and, If luck is with him, the
light on Harrison avenue viii halt the
car at "Pooka's" stop. Otherwise he
has to jump.
Young Bush, the owner, is having
trouble deciding whether or not he
approves of "Pookas running around.
And he also wonders whether he has
he smarteSt or LATEST dog in town.

EXISTENCE HAS BEEN

For many years the existence OF
immense quantities Of chromite In
Montana has been known. but &C
curate information as TO the actual
quantity and quality has been lack
ing. A detailed study OF the Mon
tana deposits is contained In q
report completed by Paul A Scha-
fer, geoIOgist for the state bureaa

Chromium, the product OF chromite
ore, is familiar to most people as a
constituent of stainless steel and is
one Of the newer modern metals which
Is rapidly growing in importance. It
is also used in electroplating, house
hold, plumbing and automobile fix
lures and in the manufacture of chem
icals and yellow and green paint
In its crude state, chrOmite
IS used in the manufacture of re-
fractory brick for high temperature
furnace lining.
Memoir No. 10 describes the occur
ence Of chromite deposits in Still
water, Sweet Grass, Carbon and Madi-
son counties. According to the geol0-
gist, the deposit in Saltwater and
Sweet Grass counties is the most i'm
Oortant and contains from 10 to 80
million tons of chromite bearing ma
,erial, which could be concentrated
10 a product with an estimated maxi
mum grade Of As percent chronic OK
de.
The deposit, an apparently contin-
lous chromite band of constant width,
~ miles long, is said to be of mag
matte origin, characterized by remark
lble uniformity in grade and width.
The depth to which the deposit could
,e mined would depend on difficulties
encountered in mining rather than on
he decrease in the grade of ore.
Carbon county deposits are thought
o be of similar origin but have under]
one greater changes through geolog-
cal processes. Madison county deposits
re more easily accessible than deposits
n Saltwater, Sweet Grass and Carbon
ounties, but little work has been done
OWard proving their economic worth.

 equerry as he was leaving his villa at st. Wolfgang for motor ride. The equerry, thanked the United Press bureau here for "thoughtful- ness" in telephoning the news.
 The duke may have been inter- ested particularly because of the similarity of his cousins sacrifice to that which he himself made.
 Complications Sure
 But in Nicholas case, complica- tions of major proportions were ex- pected. Trustworthy reports from Bucharest said today that the in- cident was expected to shake the position of Mime. Mazda Lupescu, King Carols sweetheart, for whose love the king once renounced the throne.
 Statesmen and churchmen have begun a new drive, 1t was said, to force Carol to put Mime. Lupescu aside and thus avoid further growth of strong right wing oppositnon which attributes to the influence of Mime. Lupescu alleged "immor- ality and corruption" in high Ru- manian circles.
 Nicholas married Mime. Jane Lucia Deletj, beautiful, blue eyed. black haired, dimpled, in 1891, in angry defiance of Carols demand that he marry royalty.
 Brothers Quarreled
 Since then the brothers have quarreled many times. Nicholas, in his defense, has cited Carols own morganatic marriage in 1918 to Mime. Zizi Lambrino, and his re- nunciation of his right to the throne rather than give up Mime. Lupescu. In Carols case, after three years in exile, he returned to Rumania to take the throne which his son, Michael, had occupied from 1927 to 1880.
 For many months Nicholas had been increasingly insistent that his wife. who is not recognized at all by the royal family. be accorded the full status of a royal princess, and that their son be made a prince.
 Matters reached the crisis stage, and late last night 1t was an- nounced that an extraordinary state council had decided Nicholas must be deprived of his own status as 8 member of the royal family.
 Name Taken From Lake He Is expected to live as Mir. Snagov. The Snagov is taken from a lake at his country estate near Bucharest. And 1t Is expected also that he will go either to Austria. where his cousin the Duke of Wind- sor is living, or France, where Wind- sor hopes to be married next month. As in the dukes case, 1t is under stood that Nicholas finances are tangled. Only recently he leased his castle and hunting preserve. It is unlikely that any substantial set- clement will be made on him, be- cause advices from Bucharest are that his exit from the royal family was an angry one.
