Choice of Sires
Important to
Dairy Industry

If dairymen are to improve the
quality of herds and increase or
even maintain a high level of pro-
duction, more attention must be
given to sires, says G. E. Gordon,
specialist in the Extension Service
of the University of California,
College of Agriculture.
Gordon said that evidence of this
is found in nationwide studies by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, in which the Univer-
sitys College of Agriculture cooper
ated.
production records of the daugh-
ters of dairy bulls provide the only
accurate measurement of the Sire's
transmitting ability Gordon said,
"and comparisons of the records
of production of the daughters Of
the sireS with those of their dams
have indicated those sires of trans
mitting ability sufficient to use in
the improvement of the dairy herd"
Gordon said it is recommended
that prospective herd sires be sons
of bulls that have proved their
ability to transmit satisfactorily
and also from a dam that is not
only a good COW herself but is a
member of family which is uni
formly good.
Dairymen can further reduce the
chances involved in the selection
of herd sire by obtaining the son
of a proved sire that is also from
a COW that is a daughter of proved
sire, and even following this to
the next generation on the dams
side
A list is being prepared by the
Division of Dairy Herd Improve
ment Investigations of the Bureau
of Dairy Industry reporting 3183
sires whose proved sire records
were tabulated between April /,
1889, and April l, 1910. Booklets
containing the lists are in the hands
of all farm advisors and COW test
ers and dairymen interested are
urged to call at the Farm Advisors
office to consult the local list.

Conscripts or volunteers for the
United States armed services will
receive full refund of fees for Uni
versity of California Extension Di-
vision courses in which they are
enrolled at the time of conscrip-
ton.
Presentation of official notifica-
ton to report for duty is the only
requirement governing the refund
This announcement yesterday by
Boyd B. Rakestraw, assistant dir
ector of the Extension Division was
made in Qualification of the Divl-
sion's position and in response to
questions from more than 200 pros
pective students. 1.-The University
Extension Division" Rakestraw ex-
planned, feels that this is the most
concrete expression of cooperation
it can make toward national de-
fense plans. In fulfillment Of its
aims, to bring education within the
reach of the entire state, we felt
that such a ruling was necessary
if people were to continue their
educational endeavors through oul
organization"
The ruling on fee refunds came
as the division completed it's fall
program and are to be presented
in more than cities in the state
with more than 1875 classes offered
If the same course is offered in

Highly significant for the build
ing industry is the first peace time
draft in the history of the coun-
try. according to George Pickering,
president of the Building Contrac-
tors Association of California.
There are two reasons for this
in the opinion of the association
head: first because of the number
of marriages created before regis
tration and secondly because of the
governments steps to protect those
called into military service.
A decidedly favorable trend for
the residential building industry
will follow in the wake of the ma
tionwide boom in the matrimonial
market that was evident Just before
the Compulsory Military Service
Act was placed into effect Pick

Destroyers Just
On Exercises
In Caribbean

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2 up
fhe navy said today that eight
destroyers and six patrol planes
ghich suddenly left Key West, Fla,
earlier in the week are engaged in
scheduled exercises" in the Carib-
)ean. Rear Admiral Hayne Ellis,
J. S. N, is in command.
Usually wellinformed sources
believed that at least some of these
ships had or would call at the
French islands of Martinique and
Guadalupe.
Both the navy and Secretary of
State Cordell Hull said the current
activity is strictly for training pur-
poses. The ship movements had
aroused much interest in view of
recurrent uncertainty over the
status of Martinique, where more

our reclamation of a coach who
could chart his teams plays. Yet
glancing through our files we re-
aIiZe that never once have we
spoken about the football scout
that advance guard of the game
whose work, weeks before a sche-
duled game, will have been just as
important, if not more important
than the work of the eleven men
on the field on the day of the
game.
Babe Scheuer, formerly an ALI
American tackle for New York
University, is now one of the
scouts for the Violets. AS such,
he is just as integral a part of the
football machine on the Heights
as is May Stevens, the coach, or
the loWliest scrub on the Junior
varsity gang.
In the years Babe has secuted
opposing elevens he has picked up
many legends of the field and can
offer some of his own; tall tales
of football scouts that are lust
as ingenious as some of the tales
anent the western scouts have
been hair-raising. There is only
one thing that bOthers the foot
ball scout. He is such a fanatic
about his own school that he'd
give his right arm to see every
game his school plays. But the
only game he can manage is the
last game, for it's the usual pro-
cedure for a scout to work teams
out of town and merely to read
about the exploits of his own gang
in the Dunday papers.
Now many's the time you've
hied yourself to the ball game and
determined that, come hell or high
water, you weren't going to
watch the intricate maneuvers of
the backs in action but devote
your attention to the men. on the
line. You were going to watch the
unsung heroes = the centers and
guards and tackles-to see how
those nimble behemoths clear
holes and take out and block and
bite and kick and get their necks
broken. Invariably though your
eye shoots back to the ball carrier
and by that time you've given up
your initial task as a poor one.
That's where the scout is differ
ent. Not only does he watch the
ball carrier but he also watches
the many moves the very idiosyn-
cracies of the opposing players.

be amazed.

when these s6-calIed "upsets" hap
pen i'm front of your very eyes
the thing isn't a miracle-it'S all
a result of careful planning and
prior. to- that careful scouting.
Should Minnesota be OutscOred by
Squeedunk or the Army beaten by
Penn State put it down to science
and not the breaks. Here are a
few anecdotes telling how and why
such things are made possible.
Fifteen years ago when scout
ing the big colleges wasn't con-
sidered so all important by coach
es and graduate managers, the
art of football detectives showed
great promise. In 1925, Fordham
had a great team that was run
ming over everyone. Georgetown
appeared to have very little chance
against the bruising, crash rams
an attack carried on chiefly by
two backs-Zev Graham, a fast
elusive runner and Tom Manning,
called Eight Yard" Manning be-
cause if he gained less than that
lunging through center he
felt that he had been failure.
Town scouts watched Fordham in
the early games with gloomy fore
boding. They might stop the elu-
sive Graham by spreading out
their defense, by playing the tack
les and ends wide. But what of
Manning, who would then romp
through the weakened lin e for
much more than his usual eight
yards? That is, unless the George
town players knew when Manning
was to take the ball, so that they
could close up their defense.
Suddenly as he watched Man
ming, one of the Georgetown
scouts smiled happily. He had dis
covered a "giveaway." He knew
how to stop Manning. Now the
experts thought Georgetown had
not a chance and it looked that
way when Manning gained his
usual eight yards on the first play
of the game. But he didn't gain
another yard all afternoon and
battered and bruised, he had to
leave the game in the third quar-
ter with the Georgetown
81, FOrdham-O. That was the fl
nal score and the headlines and
the radio screamed "UPSETw
What was the giveaway =
Georgetown's scout h a d noticed
that Manning hitched one f o t
back a few inches in order to get
a quicker start-every time his
signal was called. He never did
this when he was going to run in
reference or fake. But it never
failed to happen just prior to re-
ceiving the ball from the center.
So when Georgetown's players saw
Manning's foot drop back the ends
and the tackles moved in; the
backs crept in and eleven sturdy
players kept just one thought in
their minds: Get Manning"
But what of Zev Graham? Sim
pie When Manning's foot didn't go
back-the ends played wide and
smOthered the elusive Zev. -.
Was it the players? In this
case, friends, it was the scout, the

and speaking now to Bowie. "Be we

Bowie was disposing of venison

Pardaloe, gnawing at what was
left on the bone of his venison sad
die, spoke at ease. ''Well, up to
about hour ago I thought I was
in hell. But I guess this must be

added precatorily, ''hang on to ev-

this deer-then I'll make start.
Lazily, but with a more hopeful
view of life, the little party of Tex
ans made their way down the west
ern slope Of the Sierras. The diff
ference between empty stomachs
and fun stomachs cheered them on
their way, and the substantial re-
mains of their feast they carried in
sacks, crudely skewered from the
bucks hide.
It was a rough and forbidding ter
rain they were following. "Ain't seen

sank in the west. ''Well, we chewed

Bowie. "Guess fresh deer hide will

Bowie was willing to camp, and
the peaceful Simmie never inter-
