LOS ANGELES, Jan. "A (NANA). /.
They gave Commissioner Edward
Atherton the rough-and- tumble job
of directing and cleaning up foot
ball on the West Coast. His main
problem came in handling the elu-
sive angles of proselyting, scholar
ships and direct pay.
Commissioner Atherton, by di-
rectly enforcing the rules, more than
made good. While more than so
football players were eliminated,
Atherton at least brought Far West
ern football closer to normal activi-
ties than any other single section
knew.
AS a result, every team on the
West Coast playing any good
schedule lost from two to four
games. Even Oregon State, Pacific
Coast Conference and Rose Bowl
champions, was beaten twice. There
no Longer was any packing Of top
talent n few places. They all had
the same shot at the same target.
War to Change Football.
Just before war broke out there
already were signs of coming In
eurrection in certain quarters.
This applied largely to scholar
chips and the handling Of scholar
ships. A scholarship could carry
only the value of those issued for
State universities. around $65. This
was the weak spot, but this was not
Athertons ruling. He merely was
the enforcer Of rules given him to
handle.
1t Is evident enough now that
war will change many things in
football. as it has changed other
things in life. 1t may even help
to clear up football situations that
were getting out of hand. College
football was veering too closely and
too rapidly to out-and-out profess
sionalism There has been more
direct pay to college players than
most outsiders ever dreamed was
true.
The war may change all this
at least. help to check a. movement
that might have wrecked the game
later on.
Game Is Needed for Defense.
There always is the chance that
the war will last long enough to
bring young high school players Of
today into action-certainly the
younger college men. These younger
people will need the best physical
training they can get to be ready
for the job when their time comes
to face action.
I still think the two best sports
for training for war are football
and boxing. They are the man-to-
man, rough, body-contact games.
In place Of curtailing these sports
I believe there should be a vast
enlargement on the playing side
this spring. We should have mil
lions between the ages Of IA and 18
playing football or boxing.
I am not referring here to foot
bali for the spectator 1 am think
ing only of the player. Football
from now on should be a matter
of mass development. not an ex-
elusive set of too many coddled
stars. And this should not be
matter Of choice, but Of compul-
sion.

Wsterfowlers were promised ap-
proAmately 10000 900 birds on the
four flyways of the United States
during the season just closed. That
promise was not idle chatter. There
is every right to believe the number
was closer to 10000, 900.
The annual expected kill is about
10 per cent. 1t seldom is exceeded,
for regulations govern this to rea-
sonably close limits. Hunters. how
ever, did not have good shooting,
even though the birds were here.
The open seasons in the three divi-
sions of the States come with the
birds on the water, and there they
STAYED as closing days passed in
the Northern tier and in the middle
tier and until within three days OF
the end Of the season in the South
ern tier of States.
The Atlantic fyway in this lati-
tude is CONSTRUCTED until it becomes
scarcely a hundred miles wide along
the North Carolina coast, with the
result millions of waterfowl are
crowded into a small area, and
hunters have better shooting than
In any other section.
Seasonal Kill Is Light.
At Lake Mattamuskeet. famed as
one OF the finest goose-shootins
spots in America. In 1896 man-hunt-
Ing days during the 60-day open
season there were killed 4.187 geese
and 1923 ducks. That is an average
of less than one goose per hunter a
day and about one-third OF q
duck. which would give an annual
kill for that section of only a frac-
ton of l per cent.
In Currituck County there was the
largest concentration OF water
fowl in the last 20 years, according
to the estimate of Rupert West,
game protector for that county.
He reported an increase of Is
per cent for geese. canvasbacks. red
heads and riddles over the last
year. On black ducks. mallards,
pintails, widgeon and lesser scaup
1t amounted to only 20 per cent,
while bluewing and greenwing teal
were present in approximately the
same numbers. His estimate Of the
seasonal kill was per cent Of the
birds visiting Currituck.
Indications are that his figures
Of the kill are high. but granting
they are right. in the most thickly
populated section of the Atlantic
nyway the expected annual kill was
halved. In other sections 1t was
80 low as to be compared to the
small kill at Mattamuskeet. This
means the waterfowl, in perfect con-
dition from low water and an
abundance of aquatic plant-food,
will 60 back north this spring in
Tar greater numbers than was
hoped for.
Big Flocks Due This Year.
With good weather on the Cana
dian nesting grounds in the sum-
mer next years regulations should
reflect. by way Of easing the re-
stricdons on hunters, this increase.

Ypsilanti Holds Plymouth to
10 Score in Home Opening

Any experimenting which Edwin
w. Shadford wishes TO perform on
his Ypsilanti High School football
team hereafter is perfectly OK with
the Braves.
Agreement on that point was
unanimous Friday night after Ypsi-
lanti held a heayily-favored Plym-
outh eleven to a meager rs victory
in a nocturnal game at Island Park.
Shadford, who had expressed
some doubt as to the wisdom of
changes which he had made during
the past week. found every one of
them justified. The best Of his
moves was that involving the con-
version OF Clark Woolsey from
guard to fullback.
Both on offense and defense.
Woolsey was the leading figure in
Ypsilanti's challenge to PlymouthS
bid for victory. He and two team
mates shared in the scoring OF the
Braves only touchdown.
Trailing by 10 score late in the
final perit |, Ypsilanti received
break when End Pat O'Hara broke
through the Plymouth line to block
a kick by Halfback Jim Shepard. In
the ensuing scramble Duane Drake.
Ypsilanti center, bounced on the
ball on the one-yard line.
Woolsey and Elmer Robertson
both failed to score on line plunges,
but the husky fullback, Woolsey,
finally punched his way across the
goal stripe. Bob Moffett's attempt
ed conversion was low and blocked.
Immediately following the Kickoff
Plymouth marched to Ypsilantis
two-yard line. but there the Braves
held to take over the ball on downs.
