Must Get License
In Home Counties

The law on procuring hunting and
trapping licenses in Minnesota pro-
vides that such licenses for residents
of the state shall be issued by the
auditor of the county in which the
applicant resides or by any agent
of the auditor.
Verne E. Joslin, Game and Fish
director, calls attention to this par
ticularly because many prospective
hunters evidently fail to read the
pamphlet on small game hunting reg
ulations for 1912 and attempt to
obtain their licenses in counties
where they are not residents.

Cooperative Way
Is Stressed For
World
Speaker at Congress of Co.
operative League Asks
Just Peace for All.

A just peace for all, based on CO.
operative ideals and the cooperative
system, the fruits of labor to be made
to all nations according to require
ments, and postwar planning to pro-
vide the maximum amount of health
and happiness for all people, were
listed as vital necessities Tuesday
evening by Neil S. Beaton, president
of the Scottish Cooperative Whole
sale society, speaking before the Con-
gress of the Cooperative League of
the U. S. A. at dinner in the Nicol-
let hotel, Minneapolis, this week.
Must Have Just Peace.
Efforts to win the war for liberty
and freedom will have been in vain
if we neglect to secure just peace
for ALL" the speaker claimed. Gin
any peace settlement we cannot af-
ford to return to our 20 years exper-
fence from 1919 to 1899, period of
national and international slumps,
when depression prices and crises
succeeded the years of postwar
booms and industrial prosperity"
Continuing the speaker stated that
eve must plan along the lines of
providing the maximum amount of
health and happiness for all our
people. Surely if our great countries
can cooperate in war, it should be
easy for us to cooperate to maintain
peace in the new world"
The Peacemakers' Tasks.
MIR. Beaton was introduced by DR..
j. P. Warbasse, president-emeritus
of the league, who discussed the tasks
confronting the peacemakers when
the time came to make final settle
ments. Celebrating, Mr.. Beaton said,
Enough liberty loving people have
escaped from the Axis yoke to make
possible extra-territorial organiza-
tons. It can be carried on for every
one of the Axis ridden lands, in
Guiding Germany. The dread of the
German people today is the fear of
their humiliation by the Allies. They
cannot revolt against Hitler until
they can see hope for themselves in
a free country"
Presiding at the dinner was Muir
ray D. Lincoln, president of the
league.

It is one of the truly amazing
events of this war that Russia is
able to fight back as strenuously as
she does, and, knowing most of the
circumstances, one is completely
baffled by the sudden surge of effec-
tive resistance offered the Nazi in
vaders at Stalingrad.
Days ago it was thought that
city was doomed; enemy soldiers
were already in the streets, enc
my bombers soaring overhead
and dropping deadly prOjectiles,
and around the city were the
Hitler Panzerdivisionen, tanks,
heavy field guns, and so on.
I spite of that, the Russians are
still able to defend their most i'm
portant industrial city in the south,
one reason, perhaps, being the re-
ported fact that reinforcements have
arrived from Siberia. 1t is probable
that, as some have said, that this
particular battle is the bloodiest
known in history-although the
statement needs analysis and check
ing-but, probabilities aside, it is a
fact that very rarely has the world
witnessed a city defending itself as
valiantly as Stalingrad is being de-
fended-even after the enemy has
entrenched himself in the very streets
and market squares.
Soviet Hopes.
Through all dispatches from Mos
cow shines the hope that adequate
help may soon arrive from the out
side.
To Wendell Willkie who has
spent some days in Russia, the
Soviet leaders have said, what
their press has written time and
again, that in the Roosevelt
Churchill joint statement of some
months ago there was an express
promise that a Second Front
would be opened now in 1912.
The Russians really feel they have
earned more extensive help than they

Coast Conference Winner Invites Rose Bowl Rival
Fishers Only College Play Nearly Wins
 For Harvard
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York-An eastern football writer reports that the Pasadena Rose Bowls refusal to consider what he calls sectarian colleges for the New Years Day game is caus- ing nationwide comment.
 He is wrong on two counts. It is unjust to infer that the Rose Bowl people are adverse to taking a Catholic college team west, and I doubt that the country would be gabbing about 1t if it were true. Not in these times, anyway.
 What many commentators don't seem to realize is that the Tourna- ment of Roses football committee has nothing whatsoever to do with the selection of the combatants. The Rose Bowl game invitation and all - is entirely in the hands of the Pacific Coast Conference champion.
 THEY WANTED FORDHAM
 All Boston College, the team customers would like to see in the Rose Bowl, needs is a bid from the far western titleholder. The winner will not be deter mined, by the way, until U. s. L. A., one candidate. engages Southern California as late as Dec. 12. The other outfit with a chance is Washington State.
 You only have to go back a year to laugh off any talk about sectarian schools being definitely out of the Rose Bowl. Percy Lo- cey, Oregon States director of athletics, telephoned Coach Jim Crowley just three hours - ths difference in time after Ford ham had committed itself to meet Missouri in the New Or leans Sugar Bowl.
 Notre Danes immortal Four Horsemen came to t he end of the trail cracking Stanford, 27-10, in the Rose Bowl, Jan. l, 1925. The last time we were out that way, Notre Dame was 8 Catholic insti- tuition.
 FISHER EARNS LETTER
 Speaking of the Rose Bowl, the late Bob Fishers oldest son, BOD, Jr., put ta StoTy-pook AAllAsli to an unusual college football career at Harvard. The connec- ton here is that old Bob Fisher successor to Percy Haughton coached the Crimson varsity which edged Oregon, 7-6 in the Rose Bow! fixture, Jan. l, 1920.
 For three years, young Bob, not heavy enough for a lineman. trieo to get in a varsity game. Sopho- more brothers, Jack and Bill. made the team right from taw. It mus have been pretty discouraging te young Bob, who didn't want to bt the only Fisher who did not make letter at Harvard.
 Dick Harlow determined to givt him an opportunity in the Yal' game, and he came out late in tht second period to boot a field goa from a difficult angle that easil! might have won for Harvard.
 Speaking as a football reporter it was too bad it didn't.
 That would have been a req story--another Bob Fisher beat ing Yale with his only play il three years of football.

 New York, Dec. 11.-(UP)-When Dr. James A. Naismith hung up his peach baskets at Springfield, Mass, in 1891, starting the game of bas- ketbal, little did he dream he was launching a sport that might stretch the height of the average American couple of inches within the next 50 years or so, as the nations ath- letes began reaching for the sky.
 This trend toward skyscrapers was brought to our attention strikingly with the arrival in the Metropolis of Bob Kurland, alternate center for the Oklahoma Aggies basketball team of Saltwater, Okla. Kurland, a freshman and only IT, challenges the Empire State building with his seven-foot stretch, from corn plaSt- CTS to fiery red thatch.
 Kurland, a modest lad from Jen- nings, Mo, who is known to his teammates as Foothills" and "Stoop" is just an indication of the altitude which future hoop stars may attain, according to his mod ernistic coach, Henry 1ba. Coach Iba (pronounced Eyeba) strikes us as a youngish, elongated and sandy haired Larry MacPhail, If you know what we mean. Iba and his Okla homa Aggies are here to play the City College of New York quintet at Madison Square Garden Satur- day night.
 | Nh Freak
 Iba, who is beginning his ninth season as head basketball coach of the Aggies. frowns att he curious who regard seven-foot Kurland as an athletic freak, although he ad- mits that cloud-gazer Bob is the tallest man ever to play college basketball.
 Coach Iba, backed to the wall of his hotel room by fearless question ing last night, explained:
 "Kurland and his seven feet are distant but natural aftermath of the old center jump in basketball, which was ruled out half-a-dozen years ago. The center-jump was tossed aside, but before it went, students of basketball discovered that the tall men they had been using for centers could develop into excellent all-round players, possess ed of great advantages on offense and defense because of their un- usual height.
 Accordingly, since the center jump was abolished. instead of the average height of players decreas- ing, it has increased surprisingly That's why you found teams like West Texas coming to New York, featuring a six-foot 10 1-2-inch player. and that's why Ace Gruen- ing. of that Denver A. A. U. club registering six foot nine, was all America center last season.
 Coach Iba is proud of Kurland's height, but he is urcertain of his teams ability. He lost six men from last years squad, including four starters. because of graduation and service demands His current squad of 12 includes four freshmen and one sophomore, which makes it "a bit too green"

 Official statistics reveal Isbell who closed the season Sunday by pitching touchdown passes to three fellows none of whom was named Don Hutson, had nipped Sammy Baugh in the closest race in league history. Baugh and Isbell wound up in tie on the basis of the leagues rating system. but the Packer vet eran retained his championship through marked advantages in yards gained, total compilations and touch down passes, in all three of which he set new league records.
 Dudley Stars
 Other individual champions off, cially designated are Bill Dudley. Pittsburgh's sensational running back, who won ground gaining hon. ors; Bill Daddio, Chicago Cardinal veteran, who led field goal kickers; and Hutson, who set seven records in successfully defending his scor- ing and pass receiving champion ships. Although Dudley was the first player to gain more than 800 yards since Bill Osmanski accomplished II in his first year with the Bears, only Hutson and Isbell set new records. Baugh bettered the old marks for touchdown passes. gains and corn- pletions, and young Bud Schwenk, another rookie. also bettered Davey O,Brien's former record for comple. tions. Schwenk, the leading college passer in the country last year. took further part in the record breaking by cracking O'Brien's mark for at- tempts and increasing the league mark for interceptions. Twenty. seven of his passes were intercepted

By osCAR FRALEY

United Press Staff Correspondcni)
 New York, Dec. 1i-tUp)- Branch Hickey, the shrewd new presiden. of the Brooklyn Dodgers. indicated today that as a result of a government request for less travel major league baseball teams may abandon Florida training camps for closer spring bases.
 "The Dodgers are trying to be prepared for any event,;ality," the cushy -5rowed executive said ip lending credence to reports that the club was considering changing its training site to Georgia.
 we ere trying to cone .ct only within the letter of the office of defense transportation request but also within the spirit O. it. Along these lines we are making adjust ments in cur exhibition schedule, pairing the number of games, etc" he added.
 We still plan to do our spring training at West Palm Beach, Fla, starting March but you can't tell when we might have to make changes"
 Could Stay Home
 If necessary, Hickey said, the ma jor league teams would train at home.
 "As a matter of fact, 1t is entirely possible to train right in the city, although there are 8 number of drawbacks" he explained. we did it in St. Louis. Any team can be conditioned wonderfully in an ade- quate gymnasium where there are tracks for the men to do their run- ming and enough room for batting cages. Pitchers can work out we'll, The major drawback is that players might not get what we call their batting eye inside"
 Rickey believes that the govern ment wants baseball to continue and that the greatest threat is not that of, players being taken into the armed service but the manpower switch from non-essential to essen- tial industry.
 Baseball is more than willing to conform with suggestions of the government concerning travel and manpower." he said. T think the government wants to see the sport continued and we've got to do il with the facilities and men eligible men who still would be idle If not playing ball"
 Fat Freddy O. K.
 Hickey revealed that Freddy Fitz. simmons. veteran Dodger pitcher, had refused an offer to pilot the Dodgers Montreal farm club of the International league. Fitzsimnons, he said, would be retained as a relief hurler and pitching coach.
 He also revealed the signing of a working agreement with New Or leans of the Southern Association.
 "New Orleans had working agreement with the Cardinals for several years" he grinned. Tt was a very productive one, too, giving the Cards such players as Johnny Beazley, who pitched two series vic- tories over the Tanks this year"
 Brooklyn, with the signing of New Orleans, now has chain of seven farm clubs. The Dodgers have work 1 ing agreements with three. includ- iEg Johnstown of the Pennsylvania State league and Dayton of the Mid- dle Atlantic league. Four others owned outright by the flock are Olean of the Pony league, Valdosta of the Georgia Florida league, Dur ham of the Piedmont league and 1 Mon treal.

has just started the season, beat ing the Kansas Naval Pre- -Flighters, but losing to Niagara University [ Last season the Aggies tied with Creighton for the Missouri Valley title, but Iba admits, "If we win half our games this season. well be lucky"
 Spot Player
 ! Iba wishes that seven-foot Kur- land were a sophomore or a junior Then the giant hoopster will be a great player, he predicts, because the tall boy, scaling 206 pounds, has the unexpected speed, natural grace and basket accuracy of potential star. But now, as freshman still crude in spots-he plays only about IS minutes game. Lot Steinmeir, a junior who reaches but six foot-five, is the starting center The team averages about six feet five and half.
 This stretching up is a swell thing for the future of our race. but it.; a big burden for coach Iba anc his assistants as they move theil tall men about the country Kur. land can't slepe in an ordinary Pullman berth or hotel bed. Pop. eyed Pullman porters let hin stretch out on divans in staterooms and hotel maids make his bed or the hotel-room floor. At Saltwater oCach Iba had special bed Euilt in Kurlands dormitory. Moreover it's an expense to supply him witt specially -made athletic apparel over sized jerseys and trunks ant size IA basketball shoes.
 Big Kurland will go to town next | year, but he's still a little thin. skinned" Iba said. Tt bothers him play and the opposition fans start and 1t bothers me, when he starts yelling-Timber'!"
