To Obscure ee
Out Of Bounds
Boot by Penalty
BY EDGAR HAYES

ANN ARBOR, Nov. 11--When
the college football rules COM
mittee meets around New Years
they likely will receive a recon-
mendation concerning the kickoff.
The rules committee acts on sug-
geStion made by the coaches dur
ing its annual convention.
More and more teams are
kicking off out OF bounds TO pre-
vent the receiving team from
forming interference and running
the ball back. sometimes all the
way. The present rule gives the
ball 10 the receiving team on the
55-yard line The pro rule puts
the ball in play on the As.
There is considerable agitation
among the coaches 10 adopt the
pro rule Giving the opposition
the ball so near midfield would
he too dangerous 10 become a
practice
CRISLER A FOE
Coach CriSler Of Michigan is one
OF the opponents of kicking off
out Of bounds Michigan spends
time developing
kicker who can beot them high
and far and few long runbacks
are made during the season. The
Wolverines drill on the kickoff
both Extensively and defensively
Notre Dame, Minnesota and
Illinonis are three of the major
teams Michigan has met this year
that make a practice of aim
ing for the sidelines. II there is a
move 10 change the rule il likely
will have the support of vast
majority of the coaches.
ANOTHER DRILL
Michigan went through another
drill yesterday for Saturdays
joust with the Badgers. Crisler
feels Wisconsin has one good
game in its system and might
have il Saturday. The record of
the Badgers wouldn't scare many
teams. but every week there are
dozens of upsets.
A win for Michigan would tie
Purdue with five conference vic
tories against no defeats. The
Boilermakers are idle this week
A former University of Detroit
halfback, Paul Mclaughlin, now
naval trainee, will be in the Wis
consin lineup when the game
starts at 2;30. Paul and fullback
Ray Dooney are the principal Of
fensive threats of the Badgers,
II Michigan can tally 81 points
in the next two games. il will be
the highest scoring outfit in Girls
ler's history The Wolverines rec
ord of go points is the best since
1917, when 304 points were scored
in 10 games. But il is far short
of the GA points made by Michi-
gan in 1902.

Troy Man Choses
Cougar While
Driving to Libby

While driving to Libby from Troy
early Saturday morning, Vern T.
Hovey encountered cougar on the
highway. The big taWny animal
appeared on the highway near the
old tumbled-down cabin formerly
occupied by an old woman and
where a perpendicular rock cliff
stands at a turn in the highway.
Alarmed by the approaching car,
the cougar took down the highway
evidently loath to break through
the brush up the hillside Hovey
chased him down the highway near
ly to the big clay slide, where 1t
finally dashed up the bank into the
woods.

Death by drowning in the cold
water of the mill pond took the
lives of two Libby youths and
brought sorrow to their families
last Friday, with the near drown
ing of third boy.
The two boys to lose their lives
were Richard Adamson, 10 year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs Gust Adamson,
and Joseph Vukelich, IA year old
son of Mrs. Richard Lee. The boy
who was in rather serious condi-
ton for some time from the shock
of the cold water was Norman
Adamson, eight year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Adamson.
The details of the drowning are
somewhat obscure inasmuch as no
adult was close enough to see what

Ted Fowler
Hunts Deer,
Wild Bears

Mrs. ]. H. Fowler, former Libby
resident, writes from Peshastin,
Wash, about a hunting trip her son,
Ted, took somewhere in the Pa
cific." He says he had told in a
previous letter about the contem-
plated trip and that the party would
include IL men--four officers and
eight enlisted men. She added, His
dad and I thought it quite joke
that he went clear across the globe
to get his first deer when he was
raised in hunting country like
Libby" Ted writes on June in
part as follows:
I'VE got away Thursday and
stayed over night in hotel about
half way up. Started out about
o'clock Friday morning and had
our camp set up about | O'clock.
Didn't get to hunt any Friday as
there was a lot to be done before
we started out. The first deer got
was in the road about a half mile
before we arrived at our camping
spot, and one of the officers got
him 0. K. We felt pretty good
about having one to our credit be-
fore we even got to camp. Saturday

spent a good full day climbing the
hills. Yesterday morning I had
better luck and got buck and
three boars, SO I felt better. In all
we had a total of three deer and
about dozen pigs. 1t was the best

Trouble is you can't wrap barbed wire and the
Declaration of Independence up In the same package
Tom Jefferson could have told you that, and he
wrote the second and almost invented the first.
Tom Jefferson was shrcwd Yankee from UP
Massachusetts, way just level-hcaded fellow who
worked Virginia farm between inventing gadsets
and being President of the United States He liked
to 70 stand on green hilltop and smell things
growing. He liked to look at the blue mountains
and figures how there was room beyond them for
almost every earth in those days to be
his own boss.
Tom Jefferson would have known you could not
put folks behind barbed wire and have the Declare
ton mean anything at all
OF course, Tom was wrong about things,
too He lived to the first locomotive and had
his doubts. He thought the Declaration of
independence would work with railroads tearing
across the country and banks and stores and fac
tories In almost every town He had an idea man
could be free only his farm
But he wasn't altogether wrong; not by sight
He knew that If body could invent better gun
to shoot gophcrs with, somebody else might come
along and tinker with the idea and end up with
gun that would kill people He could have
almost told OrvilIe Wright that a crackpot named
Hitler would take that little man-carryng box

Lions Are
Very Active
During Year

What is said to have been one Of
the best injecting Libby Lions have
held for some time was that of
Monday night, when the ladies Of
the Presbyterian church served a
most excellent dinner to the group
in the basement Of the church.
Two guests were present, Henry
Beardsley of this city and his
nephew, Rudolph Sando, who is
president elect of the Lions Club at
Poplar, Mont, also superintendent
of schools of that city. Mr. Sando
is an accomplished speaker and
gave short talk full Of wit and
humor.
Another highlight Of the evening
was installation Of newly elected
officers, which was done in d pleas
ing manner by DR.. r. M. Sherman
Interesting reports of the Lions
district convention held in Kalis-
pell were given by Bill Allen,
Glen Thorn and Paul Church.
A resume of the past years ac-
tivities that had been sponsored by
the Lions Club held much Of inter-
est. The Lions helped in the u.
S. 0. drive last June in which the
county quota was $500, while
$4,000 was raised. The salvage
work was supervised by the club
and over two million pounds of
scrap iron collected Lincoln coun-
ty was awarded an honor pennant
for exceeding its quota by more
than double. The high school foot
ball and basketball teams we're en-
tertained and were assured Of the
continued support of the club.
The special War Bond Drive was
the last undertaking sponsored by
the club and, ably assisted by the
members Of the Union, Grange and
Commercial Club and by others,
the quota was nearly doubled.

happened and the surviving boys
are confused about it. However, W.
E. Dexter, mill superintendent, and
Oliver Decker were working at the
pond on the mill side. Mr.. Dexter
saw the boys playing on the logs
and with a raft on the far side of
the pond and called out to order
them away. Almost Immediately
they seemed to be in trouble, all OF
them floundering in the water.
Decker reached them first and sue
ceeded in pulling three boys out OF
the water, but did not know at that
time that there were two others In
the group. The three rescued were
Jackie Templin, 10 years, Norman
and Edwin Adamson, aged 8 and
respectively. Norman was in bad
way from shock and 1T required
some time before he was normal
However, Edwin told the men that
there were two other boys and the
men began to look for them.
BY that time the alarm had spread
to the mill and many of the mill
crew were there to assist III the
search. Ultimately Dexter Shau-
rette called out that he had found
one of the bodies, the men using
pike poles in the search The body
was soon brought to the surface
Shortly thereafter the other body
was recovered by Smith Reid.
In the meantime a call had been
sent to the Libby fire department
for use of its pulmotor, but at that
time the men were not convinced
| the boys were in the water. Chief
George Wood sent four or five of
the firemen to the pond with the
machine and as soon as word was
flashed in that the bodies had been
recovered, he and DR.. Martin at
once left for the scene OF the trag-
edy. However, the boys had been
in the water SO long that they were
past all hope Of resusctation.
From what can be gathered from
the surviving boys, 1t is believed
that the boys fell into the water
while trying to get from the logs
into raft, and that young Vukelich
gave his life while trying to save
the drowning Adamson boy. +
A double funeral was held TUES
day evening from the Gompf fune-
raj home, with the Rev. E. Roy Fort
officiating Burial was III the Lib
