to appear their absence must be
laid to something else.
We have been trying to believe
there was little truth in the predic-
tions that few hunters would follow
their sport in normal fashion this
fall. But as open seasons draw near
we find there is no doubt about a
reduction in the ranks.
Third Fewer Nimrods.
Up to date there apparently is a
third less hunters planning trips now
than there was at this time last
year. Many of these were gone for
the duration, hunting bigger game:
others are just too busy backing
them up to pursue hunting as usual.
Hard to take, but that's the way
it looks in spite of the fact that the
last waHfound decided increase in
hunters up until the armistice, and
more than doubling of their num-
bers in the several years following.
Fewer hunters will mean better
hunting to those able to continue
To hard-pressed State game COM
missions it presents a golden oppor-
tuaity-a chance, not just to pre-
vent their wildlife from declining,
but to catch up so that after hostil-
tiles cease our fields and coverts will
be stocked so well there never again
will be a noticeable dearth of game
anywhere.

Shortened Baseball
Season Is Opposed
By Cubs Official
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9-James Gal
lagher, general manager of the Chi
caeo Cubs, has sounded a dissenting
note over several proposed changes
in baseball schedules to be consid-
cred at the annual meeting of the
two major leagues in December
Gallagher disagreed with Will
Harrioge, president Of the Amer
lean League. who indicated several
changes were in order. These in
clude a contemplated switch from
four road trips season for each
club to three and the possibility Of
a shorter season, with l40 instead
of the customary 154 games.
Gallagher said yesterday he could
see no necessity for cramming 154
games into a shorter period or cut
ting down to lao games per club.
Shortening the playing period would
eliminate a couple Of Sundays for
each club.
"Our business is to provide enter
tainment, so why not stretch it out
as long as possible" he declared.
He admitted, however, that the
National League would not hesitate
to return to a three-trip playing ar
rangement, not only because it will
eliminate 10000 travel miles for each
league, but also because 1t makes
possible . better arrangement OF
dates.

Mississippi and L. S. U. renew a

Mississippi State, with a veteran
squad. most of whom played on
their Southeastern Conference

Tie With Purdue

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Western Con-
ference teams are in for a double
barreled football blow-off tomor-
row-so here's looking down the
muzzles.
Purdue at Notwithstanding
Wildcats have wiped two tough
opponents-IoWa Seahawks and
Texas-of their slate, breaking even
doing so, while Purdue has dropped
two straight to Fordham and Van
derbilt. Both have won IL games
in their ancient series, but North
western should snap the tie with
Otto Graham (who has completed
13 of 28 passes and one Of the
strongest lines in the conference.
Gophers. Seahawks Favored.
Minnesota at Illinois-The Illini,
unscored upon while rolling like
a tidal wave over South Dakota
and Butler, meets its first test.
It's Big Bill Daley, the Gophers'
great fuliback, against Don Grifln
both of whom have averaged
about 10 yards per ball carry. Min
nesota should capture its 1lth VIC
tory in this 17th meeting.
Iowa Seahawks at Michigan
Three backs who were most sue
cessful against Michigan last year
were Bus Mertes of Iowa, George
Benson OF Northwestern and Disk
Fisher Of Ohio State. New they
all can punch the Wolverines at
once in the togs Of the Seahawks.
Add dozen other stars, including
Michigans own Forest Evashevski,
and you have too much for unbeaten
Michigan to match, even if Tom
Kuzma plays.
Looks Bad for Trojans,
Southern California at Ohio State
-Four backs in the Buckeyes pre-
cision machine have torn off nearly
600 yards in two games, led by Gene
Fekete, sophomore who has scored
IS points. Looks bad for the Tro-
jams.
Missouri at Wisconsin-It will be
a question of stopping Bullet Bob
Steuber, the big shot in Missouri S
T without a man in motion. Pat
Harder may be ready for the Bad
gers. but the outcome strictly is
guesswork.
Indiana at Nebraska - The
Hoosiers and Billy Hillenbrand
pinned defeat on the Huskers in
1941 for the first time in three
years and should do the same this
meeting.
Camp Grant at Iowa-On a dry
field. Tom Farmer can lead Iowa

morrow determined to get back into
it's stride of scoring which carried
it through 13 consecutive games
with an average of better than three
touchdowns per contest.
When they muffed their three
scoring chances against Navy last
week end. the Cavaliers broke q
streak which began in their first
November game Of 1910 and which
saw them roll up 332 points.
Herbert Munhall, the 190-pound
back from Alexandria. took time out
to receive a certificate OF inter-
mediate honors from President John
Lloyd Newcomb in recognition Of
the excellence OF his work during
his first, two years in the college o1
arts and sciences.
Munhall. who'll be a key man in
the Cavalier attack against the
Cadets, is pre-medical student
whose speeded-up course may put
him into the department of medi-
cine next spring Munhall almost
scored for Virginia against Navy
with a pass from Tabb Gillette.
Virginia's head coach, Frank
Murray, and his backfield assistant
Art Guepe, aren't sure who will be
started in the Cavalier backfield
against the Cadets.
Lambeth Field drills have seen
signals called by George Nef
younger brother of last years quar-
terback, Johnny, who now is naval
aviation cadet. But whether, Nef'
will do the play selecting or the jot
