The Audubon Society has ac-
complished much in the past 1or
the protection of our song and IN
sectivorous birds. Sportsmen have
supported it Fundamentally.
This year in New York, the Au-
dubon Society was successful in hav-
ing passed legislation prohibiting all
sale of wild bird plumage regardless
of kind or source. 1t prohibits
sportsmen using for the tying OF
flies the feathers of ducks, geese,
pheasant, quail and other birds shot
legally during open season. Under
this law. even the feathers of un-
protected pests such as crows. star
lings and sparrows are not for COM
mercial use.
Furthermore 1t is the announced
intention of the Audubon Society to
seek similar legislation in the re-
manning Al States as well as Fed
eral legislation to end all traft1c in
all wild bird plumage.
In q statement Of policy, the d.
rector of this organization says the
society makes no distinction between
nest birds and other birds, but stands
for the protection of all wild birds.
Move Is Held Unfair.
It could mean that as flnel
objective the Audubon Society will
seek to prevent sportsmen shooting
waterfowl and upland game birds
Anglers probably could make out
with dyed domestic fowl feathers ano
would be keen for the idea If there
was anything to be gained by doing
so, but with thousands of legally
killed birds at hand it is their In

forfeits the support of the greatest
organization Of real conservatlonlsts

addition, the moral and financial

We would say the Audubon So
ciety has overreached itself in
breaking these natural ties; that
such legislation would be more OF
a nuisance than a curb in feather

the stage where our shooting Is
theatened many anglers are apt to

Sportsmen Will Fight Law.
There are species of wild birds
that need protection if they are to
survive before the advance OF CIV

needs the support of sportsmen, not
their opposition, to save these birds
The New York law places the
burden of proof on the possessor OF
feathers which means every angler

breaker until he proves otherwise
If the society should achieve its
goal of making the feather law ma

credentials to show every inquirine

sportsmen would appreciate such 9

Tall Basketers in
Indiana Outfit
Only 2 Of n Tossers
For Tilt Tomorrow
Are Under 6 Feet

George Washington will be up
against one of the tallest teams it
will face this season when Indiana
troops into Riverside Stadium Sat-
urday night for the last game Of
the holiday season.
The Hoosiers have only two men
under 6 feet on a squad Of % and
one, Capt. Andy thinner, goes 6 feet
5 inches, while several others are
feet 4 inches. All in all, 1t COM
pares favorably with previous In
diana teams in this respect.
Zinlmer is the lone regular back
from last years quintet which
copped II OF its 20 games, but Coach
Branch McCracken has seven ex-
perienced lettermen to use in re-
constructing the team. To go with
these he has group of promising
sophomores who will be pushing
older men for the positions.
thinner Is Versatile.
Zimmer can play three positions
and has done that in the past two
years. He broke into the regular
lineup as a sophomore and starred
in Indianas 60-42 victory over
Kansas, which gave the winners the
national collegiate crown In 1910.
Zimmer is taking advanced military
work and will be ready for the Army
when Uncle Sam taps him on the
shoulder.
Other outstanding Hoosiers are
John COzzie) Logan, a wizard at ball
handling; Irwin Swanson, a close
guarding, high-scoring guard; Bill
Torphy, dependable II not hashy
guard; Everett Hoffman, 6-foot T.
inch center who seems ready to take
his place in the lineup after two
years of reserve duty: Ed Denton,
another center, and Hal Driver, .
forward
One of the most promising sophs
is Ralph Hamilton, former aIl-State
forward from Fort Wayne. In the
finals of the Indiana State tourna-
ment two years ago he averaged
l6 poinst for three games and hung
up a tournament record Of 48 points
which since has been bettered by
Leroy Mangin, now a freshman at
Indiana. Hamilton has q dead eye
and speed to spare.
Kilby Is Speedy Player.
Roy Kilby, another all-Stater and
probably the fastest man on the
team: Warren Lewis, Dick Witten-
braker, Swift Wunker and Bill Royer
are other graduates of last years
freshman team who give McCracken
cause for hope.
All of these boys will be brought
East. of course. Indiana stops off in
Pittsburgh tonight for its only other
game of the trip.
Indiana has beaten Wabash. Ne

substitutions at the strategic time.
In baseball you have to figure out
