 l First play and Landers called ] Q tricky one. The bal came back to Mike TulIio, fulbcak. ePte cut behind him, Tullio shoved-passed the ball and Pete set sail around end. Joey Anderson had pulled from his guard position to black. Dan Haloway, the wing back, and Landers were also clearing up ahead. Past the line of scrimmage Pete tore, cutting back sharply toward nid-field.
 1 One of the Wildcats lunged at him, but Laird shook him of. Another crcuched ahead, waiting for him to feint. But he plowed on, bowled over him and kept moving. He was on the 30 now, one more white jersey to get by, He faked the Northwestern safety man out of position, cut sharply to the left and turned on the steam. He was away and over. Forty-flve seconds had elapsed and State had scored. The crowd screamed his name as he touched the ball down and trotted back to meet his teammates.
 Close observers might have Tao- ticed that no State player rushed up to him and slapped him on the back. There was no enthusiasm no show of spirit. Just a perfectly calm fotball team doing 8 work manlike job.
 And if the fans could have listened in on the State huddle when teh men lined up before the extra point, they would have heard Pete Laird sheer: Lucky thing for Northwestern I'm not in shape" and then look up at his teammates and laugh loudly. Too loudly.

Princeton, leader in the Northern

Eight colleges contribute to the

Trainer Orders Buddy
To Cut Loose, Despite
Danger to Hands

Buddy Scott was to be turned
loose today in a dress rehearsal
for his 10-round bout with Bob
Pastor Monday night at Griffith

Before an exacting and critical
group of veteran ringmen vino could
distinguish between a belt on the
whiSkers and love pat, Buddy was
to unwind his right hand for the
first driving test of the current

hind him for this engagement want
to know if he'll be driving on kero-
sene or high-test gas when he goes
out to face the former New York
University football star.

I've been holding him back as
much AS possible" said Trainer
Harry RaSkin, trying to guard
against damaged hands, but I gotta
let him go now Don't worry about
his punching. He can hit and he
doesn't have to wind up to let one go.
Just give Buddy small opening and
he'll shoot through it, so I'm not
worried about what he can do on
that score.
Il am worried about him busting
up his hands, though. These kids

wouldn't do for Buddy to get a
bruised knuckle or any kind of an
injury at this stage. But, on the

too much. He needs that target

let him have so much-just the right
amount, and no more"

tough fellow who knows all the
angles and can put Jimmy through

The local youngster has arrived
at that critical stage of his career
when he's got to step out and begin
carving a reputation in faster COM

Jimmy has faced thus far has been
decidedly mediocre. although it was
more experienced. The idea is to
feed him increasingly stronger op-
ponents until he's ready to strike

in the trade sense of the term. OF
course, he wasn't fighting for purses
back on the corners and in the alley

to protect his baby teeth, and then
because he knew he was good.
Those were amateur fights in
name only. There was a savage
propulsion behind each of them.
Besides, Conn was learning his trade
and getting the kind of education
he wanted-scientific, Bills liberal
education ended in the nelghbor-
hood of the sixth grade.
AS soon as he was good enough
to fight for money, he did, He never
wished to do anything else, and

Police Get Their Fish, Despite Blow
Channel Boss at Fox Hill Levels

Questions fill normal part of
busy day. and as a rule are an
swered easily, but occasionally a
"toughy" pops up. Here's one. and
interesting enough to pass along:
If an angler went fishing in Vir-
ginia and caught Is trout, then
crossed into Maryland where the
limit is 10, would he be liable to a
fine
There might be several answers to
that one.
We would say that if, as Mary
land resident angler, you flshed
Virginia waters with a Virginia nom
resident license and proper identi-
flying credentials you would be al
lowed the IS trout. Even though
Marylander. you had complied
with the Virginia law. Be sure you
can prove they were caught in Vir-
ginia and there should be no ques-
ton about the legality of the catch.
A Washington policeman, Bill
Diers, likes his fly rod so well he
uses it on sea trout and other salt
water fishes. And he gets away
with it, although brook trout rods
never we're intended for that kind
of fishing, He does have much fun,
even though he gets not so many
fish. He complains, however, of the
amount of lead required to hold
bottom with 6-thread cuttyhunk
line in a tideway. Bill is no en-
bryo angler. In fact, he is a
fancier of big sharks and the tough
going attendant with their taking.
He knows the trick of cumming
them up to the boat with blood of
bait fishes, so we can't understand
why he never thought of the same
method for bringing sea trout to the
curface where no heavy lead would
be needed; where the strike would
be seen, and where, If he cared,
plugs could be used.
Blood Chum Gets Results.
Trout may be chummed to the
surface with ground shrimp or
squid, but these sink too fast to
hold them right at the top. The
blood chum, obtained as you catch
the fish, is simple and not too messy.
All that one needs to do is break
the gills of the fish with finger
as they are caught and wash them
over the side. The results often
are surprising. Try 1t sometime,
Bill.
