MOTORISTS ARE BUYING
NEW SIS TAX STAMPS

The five-dollar federal auto
mobile tax stamps are now ON
sale at post offices and the law
requires all motorists to have
them by July 1. Motorists are
already buying the new tax
stamps.
The stamps are gummed on the
face and the government wants
the stamp placed on the wind
shield in location that will not
be in conflict with state require
ments.

ever, is not as bad as it seems.
Before 1880, those classified as

the Army has stiffened the litera-

Poggies Want
Winter Fish

The Tacoma Poggie club last
night went on record n unani-
mously opposed to the suggested
ban on winter salmon fishing,
sports and commercial alike.
Fred Foster, director Of the
state fisheries department. hung
up trial bag the other day in an
endeavor to see how q plan like
that would be taken by the sports
men.
The Poggies were the first
10 act and they have made .
stern no. They hint that the
big Seattle "shots" are now
steeihead fishermen and are
willing to close things down
for the winter.
The state fisheries men have
found that certain types Of salmon
grow from small fish to very large
fish even during the winter
months.

NEW YORK - We always

We VIII tread softly upon the
lightweight championship sitna-
ton on which the New York
commission and the National
Boxing association have come
In fast-to straighten out.
There have been rumors that
the deadliest TORPEDO in Amer
lea was operating in boxing be-
fore Sammy Angott. Of Wash
ington. Pa. vacated the light
weight throne more than a week
ago. Whether there was any
connection. we do not know.
Anyway. the New York COM
mission and the National Box
ing association came In yester-
day with . plan TO determine
Angott's successor as light
weight champion. They decided
TO hold an elimination tourna-
ment, with the ultimate winner
to be king Of the 1s5-pounders,
Just ~ was Tony Csnzoneri In
1885. after Barney Ross retired.
Ten contenders are in this
tourney. which will feature two
key" bouts. The first key
bout brings together Beau Jack,
Georgia Negro. and 1fppy Lar
kin, OF Garfield, n. j.. in Is
round bout at Madison Square
Garden Dec. Is. Winner of this
bout will meet the survivor
among the other eight contend
ers in a final" bout for the
title within three months.
The other contenders are
Willie Joyce, Chicago; Chester
Rico, New York; Cleo Shans,
Los Angeles: Joey Peralta.

are confident that Sammy An

tenders in the elimination.
Hence we send this message
to Angott and to Charlie Jones'
two OF our warment friends:
Forget the retirement Come
back and defend the title. The
percentage is all in your favor.
But whether you win or lose,
you'll dispel one of the blacklist

Cowboy Star
Is Threat to

Record Mark
BY Hal. sAYLEs

AnAh<E-tE.s AeA.- lufTea quite
jackrabbit out here on the
Southwest plains and west Texas
folk win tell you. without 90 much
as batting an eye. that he can out
maneuver anyone in football suit.
Their unsung hero IL Hardin
Simmons Rudy (DocD Mobley.
who Is well on the way to q mod
ern ground-gaining record.
In leading the indicated
Cowboys through their giant
killing schedule. this quick
striding. glitter guy consumed
sac yards In the 81 times he
carried In the first SIX games.
And added 10 10 beautifully
against Louisiana Tech whom
the Cowboys beat, 81 10 Is.
That figure puts him out in
front among the leather-luggers
Of the country and leaves him
only $50 yards shy of the all-tims
mark compiled by whizzer White.
Colorado Ali-Americs. in 1887.
And the way the 160-pounder Is
going now. he's a cinch TO make II.
He had an average net gain Of
1894 yards per game with four
contests TO 20.
This record. incidentally,
has not been made against q
bunch Of softies. Among the
Cowboys victims are Baylor.
Southern Methodist and Arr
IONA Baylor went into the
Texas game battling for South
west conference leadership.
Mobley made one OF the two
touchdowns Hardin Simmons
chalked up in beating Baylor, 1876.
and scored the one that tripped
sMU. rs.
In all, Doc Mobley racked up 10
touchdowns against four foes to
lead the Border conference, of
which the Cowboys are members,
in scoring.
This role ~ q scoring leader
In nothing new for Mobley.
Two years ago al Paducah.
Tex. high school. he was the
top taIlymaker In the Texas
Interscholastic league with
17f points.
In high school. Mobley weighed
only 135 pounds. Southwest con-
ference talent scouts-looking for
the more rugged type-passed
him up. This has been a trifle
embarrassing to more than one
coach in the bigger loop.
West Texans will have you
know, however, this Hardin-Sim-
mons team is no one-man show.
In Camp Wilson, 215-pound
freshman fullback. the Cow
boys have another terrific
runner who has made more
than 400 yards this season
mostly on blasts through the
middle.
And they're right proud Of
sparkling line that yielded 4 net
of only 10 yards against sMU
rushes.
Good football teams are not an
oddity around this little Baptist
school campus.
The Cowboys always have
been ornery critters for South
west conference teams TO
handle. II WAS In 1888 that
Hardin-s m m o ms almost
whipped Southern Methodist's
Rose Bowl team. and it has
knocked off . mighty impress
