year would preclude any such in
crease.
When the flights of migrating
doves come down, and the vanguard
should arrive any day, there might
be some reason for elation, for the
Northern nesting season produced
a large crop, at least large when
it is considered every pairs nest
contains but two eggs. The actual
flights will be the only proof of
the pudding.
With another short season and
bag limit Of 10 this easily might
be the turning point toward the
upswing in the increase OF this flne
game bird.
It is from the elder duck that we
get commercial eiderdown. Because
this soft. warm undercoat no longer
is obtainable-the bird is Euro
pean-some other material must be
substituted to line aviators' jackets
and sleeping bags for troops.
The best substitute, but CONNER
cially unobtainable, is the down and
small feathers from all wild water
fowl. 1t could be had through the
cooperation of sportsmen this fall.
1t is estimated the seasonal bag Of
ducks and geese would provide
enough down for SOC, 900 flying pants
and parkas, more than l50. 900 sleep
ing bags or 100000 subzero jackets
for troops.

Promoter Joe Turner has varied
the usual hero VS.. william rassle pro-
gram several times recently with
excellent results. For several weeks
the villain VS.. villain act went over
big with the fans not caring who
won just so both boys were given
plenty of punishment and last night
another change came when hero VS..
hero was well received in one Of the
co-feature engagements at the
arena.
John Millich and Johnny Long,
both good, clean rasslers, were the
principles who worked to an hour
long draw. Not a foul blow was struck
nor were any OF the rougher tactics
used, and the novelty received q
good reception from the faithful.
In the other co-feature, Michele
Leone (villain) stopped the popular
Maurice La Chappelle (hero) by
applying a body press to the red
haired Frenchman.
In other matches, Paul Boesch
won over Eddie King, Benny Shapiro
downed Jim Austeri and Ace Free

Quite an item in the pursuit of
the war and a challenge to duck
hunters. Add to that the value of
this eiderdoWn which may be turned
into actual cash to establish addi-
tional waterfowl nesting refugees
and it becomes a double -barreled
aim. 1t is to be accomplished by
picking the girds dry and sending
all down and feathers less than 212
inches in length to Ducks Unlim-
tied, 80 Columbia street, Seattle,

The hunter carries q considerable
load this year, for in addition to
the need for down there is the brass
in cartridges and shells that must
not be wasted. Even the few one
would use in day afield or In the
woods Is vitality important. Places
for collection shortly will be desig-
mated.
Too. every ounce OF fowl and game
assumes real Importance this season.
Hunters should see none is wasted,
for every additional pound at home
means that much more can be sent
to the boys overseas. However, the
need is not so great that hunters
should seek to take limit bags every
time out. No, sir, that would be
killing the goose that lays the golden
egg. Just shoot normally and waste
nothing.

Sutch Man 10 Watch
In Temple TussIe,
Hoyas Warned
FuIIboek Is Key Player
Of Offense 6. u. Is to
Encounter in Stort

Georgetown has rsEEiyedr warning,
to concentrate much cf its defen-
sive tactics on 22o-pound Fullback
George Sutch ten1orrq night when
1t stacks up against Tennple at Phil
adelphia in the HoyaS tough foot
ball opener.
Overshadowed by the veratile
Andy Tomasic in Andy's junior and
senior years, Sutch showed last year
he could rip an opposing line to
shreds and this season is expected
to blossom as a full-fledged triple
threaten.
While freshmen are eligible to
compete on Temples varsity team
this season. it is likely Coach Ray
Morrison will string along with ex-
perience. Quarterback Al Drulis,
Halfbacks Angelo Sparagna and
Eddie Bilikiewicz and Guard Sid
Beshunsku are key figures who also
are veterans.
Other experienced men among
the Owls include Don Serino,
Johnny Sylvester and Joe Papiano,
all OF whom showed flashes OF grid
brilliance last season. Also at CEN
ter Temple will have Jimmy Wood
side, 6-foot-3-inch 215-pounder,
who was regular center at the close
of last season.
Temple, which won seven of nine
games last year, including a 17-7
victory over Georgetown, has lost
valuable men, though, in Tomasic,
Ends Frank Moister and Cliff

ski and Frank Kiloy.
Due chiefly to those losses, Coach
Morrison will test two freshmen
against the Hoyas tomorrow night
Indian Joe Nejman, a 195-pound
back who starred at Frankford
High in Philadelphia and later at
Bordentown Military Academy, i
regarded as Tomasic's successor.
Billy Glenn is a freshman enc
who has shown well, but it is
doubted if either will start against
Georgetown, though they're slated
to see plenty of service in the con-
test.

Tutored by Shaughnessys fellow
alumni Of the University of Mime

Svensden-the Connecticut outfit
employs both the single and double
wing back with variations. and the
Maryland mentor spent most OF
yesterday on methods of halting
both styles, with junior varsity
outfit depicting the invaders.
1t was rather puzzling to the Old
Line backs for a while. but they
were doing fairly well before the
long drill ended and will get an
other dose of the same stuff today
Sensden, former all-America CEN
ter for the Gophers, is fully familiar
with Maryland's "T" setup, as he
has had first-hand experience ir
playing against the Chicago Bears
for the Green Bay Packers anc
Brooklyn Dodgers. He also got
some late dope on the "T'' by watch
ing the Chibears beat the Eastern

Sunday.
