Troop 6, j. c. Filsinger, Scoutmas-

Church, held a Halloween meet
ing in our Scoutroom at the church
on Friday night, at which the Scouts
of Troop 81 were our guests.
Present were: our S. M, 10 Scouts
from Troop and q from Troop
81.
After the meeting opened, the
members of Troop 6 were blindfold-
ed and led around the church,
through the people, as prisoners of
war" Then, with Troop 81, we were
again bliindfolded and led round in
circles until we had completely lost
our sense of direction, after which
we were led into a cellar and left
there. We Immediately took off our
blindfolds, only to find that the Gel
lar was dark. We managed, how
ever, to find the steps, only to dis
cover that the trapdoor at the top
was closed. But Scouts are resource
full, so we felt around until we found
window we could open, through
which we all scampered and return
ed to our Scoutroom.
We then played an exciting game
of "Steal the Flag" after which we
all enjoyed gingerbread and cider to
end our Halloween fun.

and coasted in easily for the vic
tory. The high scorers for Clarkton
were Owens with six points and
Earl Quick with four points. Evans
and Regan with three markers

The Clinton tussle was the most
exciting game the All-Stars have
played this season. Trailing by one

ter, the Clarkton five had little
trouble in running up the score
for the remainder of the contest.
Outstanding for Clarkton were Jake
Buie and Douglas Buie with six

bruins FAVORED
OVER ILLINOIS
Rain Or Shine UCLA Eleven
Is Rated Two Touch
downs Better

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 80. Up
= It will take three touchdowns to
beat the UCLA Bruins in the Rose
Bowl New Years Day.
Rain or shine, the Bruins figure
certain to score at least twice
themselves. UCLA, averaging 81
points per game, never scored less
than 10 in any contest. With an
almost dry field now likely, the
Bruins could score two touchdowns
or five = as they did in half their
games.
Perhaps the Bruins haven't met
a fighting, alert defense such as
the Illini undoubtedly have. But
unless the rains return, defensive
skill alone doesn't appear to be
enough to beat the coast cham
pions. You've gotta outscore them.
Jan. l may be the day when
Buddy Young, recalling his SEN
sational 1945 west coast exploits,
breaks loose for the first time this
season. If he does, the old bowl
could well be in for one of its
highest scoring melees, When Bud
dy is gone - it's for six.
Unfortunately, however, the
breakaway urge isn't contagious
with the Illini. With the Bruins, it,
a positive mania. UCLA tailed 81
of its 48 touchdowns on plays COW
ering from 10 to 81 yards.
But the cold, post-Christmas
turkey, no matter how it's sliced,
is that Illinois doesn't appear to
have the all-around balanced Of
tense to beat the Bruins. Their
best passer, Perry Moss, connect
ed for only two touchdowns; in
fact, led the clubs scorers by
to five tai
lies.
Bruin T-master Ernie Case pass
ed for 10 touchdowns, and has pos
sibly the nations greatest col
legiate receiver in All-America
end Burr Baldwin.
The Illini are reported to resent
UCLA's preference for Army as
an opponent, but thus far, it seems,
they have shown some reluctance
in buckling down for the game.
Coach Ray Eliot dismissed two
squad members, and some others
may be affected by the round OF
movie and radio tours preceding
New Years.

John M. Franklin, president Of the

to death at his fathers farm near

Chief Oscar Grimes of the Balti-

groom found the body in tack

started his chores in the Franklin

in the temple, he said.
Gen. Franklin was in New York
