we will be given shorter season
and reduced bag limit when the
regulations come out next month.
Undoubtedly this will help ale
viate the situation. But there are
other factors even more important,
in our opinion, and the greatest OF
these is adequate law enforcement.
Unless overshooting bag limits,
shooting ducks after hours and
slaughtering ducks after season on
their migration north Is stopped.
these regulations only will impose
further hardship on the law-abid
ing sportsman. The others will 60
right on killing ducks.
We've seen all these things done,
over and over again. Blinds are
openly and flagrantly baited in vio-
lation of the law. Yet because of
lack of manpower wardens are pow
erless to do more than scratch the
surface. We'd like to see plenty of
duck stamp money and Pittman-
Robertson funds expended, by due
process Of law, and this lawless hog
gishness stopped. 1t is crime, and
until it is forcibly handled we're
going to keep right on having the
duck population diminish year by
year, despite season and bag limits.

Extra Year in Sports
Granted Short-Term
Coast School Grads
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

VICTORIA. British Columbia, June
1.-THE bright boys who proved
during the war they could pass a
tough quizz as well as football got
an athletic break yesterday when
the Pacific Coast Conference decided
to give back the year of eligibility
they lost because they were smart
enough to graduate in three years.
Coach, faculty representatives and
athletic directors of the Conference
schools. holding their summer meet
ing here, pointed out these athletes
were being penalized for being intel
ligent. Boys who flunked in naval
science or similar war-born courses
couldn't finish in three years and
retained their four-year eligibility.
Under the new plan, man who
has earned bachelor of science
degree in wartime. accelerated
course could return for another sea-
son of athletic competition. Every
school in the circuit has several
such wartime graduates, delegates
said.
Another idea developed was to aid
the men who are indicted during
their college terms. If an athlete
competed for part of a season and
then was inducted, a full season OF
eligibility in his sport would be
restored to him upon his return
from service.

Aaron Perry, who fights Danny
Kapilow in next Monday nights
headline match at Griffith Stadium
has cut lip received in a sparring
session yesterday, but the injury
should be healed in plenty of time
for the bout. In fact, Manager
Harry Garsh doesn't even expect
it to cause any letup in the training
grind.
Perry received the cash inside his
lower lip during a sparring session
yesterday at the Liberty A. G. gym

cut through his mouthpiece. I,

had so far. He didn't except Henry

CLEVELAND, June 1.-THE guy
that hits them neutrality-suspicious.
OF lengths the fellow to be feared
In the 46th national open golf tour
nament opening here Thursday was
the report today as the boys went
into another day of practice rounds
over the very tough Canterbury Golf
Club course.
Canterbury is long-it will stretch
nigh onto 1000 yards when shooting
of the back tees-but players from
co-favorite Byron Nelson on down
insisted accuracy would be the main
thing.
Nelson, shooting the course for
the first time since the open was
held here in 1910. had one-under-
par II but he still had this to say
ct the finish:
Dick Burton (of England should
shoot we'll on this courses. He hits
them straight. He's not too long
but he should do all right"
Burton, incidentally, was reported
tnofficially to have had an even
par 70 on his practice round.
The best practice round yester-
day, however, belonged to Eddie
Burke, brother of Billy Burke Of
Cleveland who won the open title
In 1881. Eddie reported a 10.
Jimmy Demaret also had II but
Ben Hogan wasn't very talkative
about his count. He finally said he
had an 90.

Barron played steady, heads-up

Worsham pocketed $1,000 for his

The former Navy athletic in
