ball. He studied the sport the year
round, but it wasn't until 1887 he
began coaching football at McKin-
ley, when the Elmwood Ave, school
returned to the Harvard Cup series.
That year, the "McAckleys" lost
three games, tied Grover Cleveland
13-all, and downed Lafayette to 0.
The next year, 1888, Mckinley
won four games under Ackley and
finished third in a 19-to-7 loss to
Seneca. His first title team was in
1912, when Mckinley tied Burgard,
Go, to share the crown. After that
Mckinley reigned alone, defeating
Kensington in 1943 and 1945, Ben
nett in IA. Ackley grid teams won
A games, lost IA and tied 6. The last
defeat was in 1943 by Riverside, 10.
Ackley-coached football teams US
ually were Well-schooled in funda-
mentalS, hard-blocking, hard-tack-
ling and with variety of plays.
And when needed, razzle-dazzle.
Since 1941, Ackley taught a
whole-team shift into single wing
formation. But last Fall when Fos-
dick Masten held Mckinley to a
ScoreleSS tie IN the mud, Ackley re-
membered a triple-Spinner forma-
ton he had heard about in Rockne's
grid school and outlined to him by
Jack Chevigny, former South Bend,
Ind, halfback who died as marine
in the Pacific. The triple-spinner
saved the crown, Ackley always
said.
Among the outstanding athletes
Ackley developed at Mckinley
were: Bobby MacKinnon, the Ca
nisius Basketball ace who set a Yale
Cup all-time mark of 267 points in
1916; and Chet Kwasek, Canisius'
freshman football senation.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Mabel
E. Ackley; their only child, Betty M
Ackley, Amherst Central high
school physical instructor; sisters,
Mrs. Bertha Boyd and Mrs. Frank
Reed, both of Caldwell; brothers,
Clyde w. and S. Earl, both of Akron,
and Clarence E., Washington, D. c.

New Orchards Need
Plenty OF Attention

Johnny Appleseed poked holes
with a sharp stick in Ohio soil,
dropped apples seeds in the holes,
and dropped by 20 years later to
taste the fruits of his labors; but
Johnny doesn't live here any more
and modern Ohio orchards are not
brought to maturity with the free
dom from work that was possible
in Johnny's time.
Young fruit trees are now beset
with most of the troubles found in
bearing orchards and some that are
peculiar to immature trees. Rabbits
and mice enjoy winter lunches of
juicy bark, and the young orchard
frequently is more convenient to
the rodents than the woods or for
ests, so fruit trees may be girdled
unless protected by wire collars.
AS soon as snow melts, the or
chard owner examines his young
trees to find scale insects or red
mite eggs. Presence of those pests
sends the spraying outfit into the
orchard to apply dormant oil
spray. If cankerworms appear a
little later, the young trees get a
lead plus some sulphur to kill fungi.
Appearance of foliage on the
trees is a luncheon invitation to the
green aphis, and that insect gets a
dose of summer oil or of nicotine.
Young cherry trees acquire a snack
of fresh green's and may defoliate
young trees when grass gets dry
and tough.
Entomologists at Ohio State Uni
versity say orchards in the eastern
half of Ohio will be visited by the
17-year locust III 1948. That insect
makes big uproar, but does
little damage except to fruit trees
which are near woods or old apple
orchards that were badly infested
II years previously. The locust will
be in western Ohio in 1853 and in
southwestern Ohio in 1857.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 2O-Phi1 Ack-
ley is dead
The maker of football and basket
ball champions at Mckinley Voca-
tional high school and Buffalo's
Coach of the Year 1945, died today
at 1907 A. M. in the Buffalo Gen
eral hospital. He was 54 years old.
Death followed brain operation
Ackley entered the hospital com
planning of headaches Thursday
night Only last Tuesday he at
tended the Mckinley Emerson track
and field meet in All-High Stadium.
He was a sick man then.
The body remained at the Robert
L. Clancy funeral home, Uni
versity Ave, until IL o. m, Wednes-
day. Burial was held-at Caldwell
Friday afternoon, May %, where the
venerable schoolboy coach was born
Philip Ernest Ackley on August %,
1892.
Ackley died at the height of a
brilliant coaching career. Last
Thanksgiving Day before 18,319 per-
sons, his Mckinley football teams
won the Harvard Cup championship
for the fifth successive year-equal-
ling Lafayette's 1911-15-record by
defeating another vocational school,
Burgard, to o. 1t was the oath sue
cessive game for an Ackley-coached
grid machine without a defeat, in
Guiding two scoreless ties since 1943.
In 1945-46, Ackley's Mckinley baSk-
etball team won % straight games
and two Yale cups.
Ackley was graduated from Ober-
lin College, Oberlin, Ohio, in 1915.
He took additional physical educa-
tion courses at Bucknell, Cortland
State Teachers and the University
of Buffalo, and also attended one
of the football schools taught by
Knute Rockne, Notre Danes i'm
mortal mentor.
: Ackley's early scholastic coaching
assignments doubling as athletic
director, took him to Corydan, Pa;
Louisville Boys High, Louisville,
KY; South High, Youngstown, O.;
and White Plains, N. Y. He came to
Buffalo in 1929 and was a physical
instructor at Seneca Vocational un-
til June 1880. That Fall he moved
to Mckinley, where he began coach
ing track and basketball.
Among his early track stars were
Carl Groh, who set the now-banned
120-yard low hurdles mark of :l42,
and Sprinter Ted Nadratowski. Two
others >~who still hold vocational
records were Pete Cinador, with a
20-foot 612-inch broad jump, and
Les Molnar, with 12-pound shot
put of A feet, 7l2 inches. These two
were among Ackley's brightest foot
ball developments.

Grating Veterans Will
Face Govt CrackdOWn

Boston, May 28-The Veterans
Administration has ordered some
5000 veterans to refund thousands
of dollars they have collected as il
legal members of the 1920 club or
to face prosecution for fraud
Even though a veteran grated
for only one week, all his succeed
ing benefits must be returned, the
VA ruled in a stiff breakdown on
racketeering under the CT Bill of
Rights.
VA officials said that some 5000
Massachusetts, violators of the law
had been warned they may face
maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine, a
year in jail, or both, if they do not
return the money.
Principal means of racketeering,
the VA disclosed, was by veterans
who received unemployment and
readjustment allowances at $40 a
week, while earning outside unre-
ported income.

Fast Growing Pigs

Ohio farmers will be watching re-

litters of pigs which gain twice as
fast as the average gains made by
pigs 10 years ago. The 1916 figures
reported to H. NJ Barnes, specialist
in animal husbandry, Ohio State
University, were 233 pounds average
weight for pigs at eight weeks.

Grand CO1lIee Dam
By NARD JONES

chinery not seen in the world be-
fore then. What was done by the
engineers staggers the magma
ton. They moved mon ,tain
literally, and froze hillside of
mud to keep it from sliding into
the stream. While they were
doing such things, they built two
modern cities, Coulee Dam and
Mason City.
The men and women who
helped build the dam came from
every State in the Union, and
forty States contributed materials
and equipment. It was work
that the whole U. S. got busy on,
because holding back the River
of the West is a big job indeed.
Holding it back? There is no
holding back two million wild
horses that never tire and never
die. The best that even Grand
Coulee Dam can do is to control
the Columbia a little. It has al
ways been a mighty river in
history. It has drawn men across
violent seas and treacherous
mountains; it has raised the hopes
of kings and sent nations into con-
flict. Now, after long years
with the status of a mere scenic
wonder, the River of the West has
taken a hand in history again.
For this is more than the biggest
thing man ever built. It is one of
the basic elements that won the
war; it powered the building of
ships and planes,t and the MAX
ing of the plutoniurh that went
out from Hanford, Washington, to
binding destiny at Nagasaki and
Hiroshima. And it is one Of the
things that will make the nation
great in peace, for Grand Coulee
power is being used in the new
towns, the new farms, and for new
industries in the Pacific North
west. From the first, the dam
was the major project in the
Columbia River Basin program to
provide farm homes under Ameri-
can living standards for thirty
thousand families, the creation out
of desert of a green land as large
as Connecticut. You will SEQ how
it is changing the land from Spo-
kane on the north to Walla Walla
on the south and Wenatchee on
the east. But in the pride of
your heart you will feel, too, its
power toward the tangible build
ing of new era. You will be
looking at the greatest single
productive force ever conceived
on earth, "a true wonder OF the
ancient and modern world.

Fund Slash Not
Aimed al Housing

In answer to increasing re-
quests regarding intention of
Congress- toward veterans bene-
fits, Commander Dennis Huntley
Of v. F. W. post 1927 said today
that it appears the economy pro-
nam Of the 80th Congress is not
designed to slash benefits granted
to Veterans.
'1This proposed decrease in the
appropriation for the Veterans
administration is based on the
belief that excess administrative
costs Of the v. A. can be reduced
without curtailing veterans bene-
tits" Hunfey said ''V. F. w. Com
mander in chied Starr pointed
out last year that administrative
costs Of the v. A. could and
should be reduced. It is important
however, that veterans should not
be made to suffer eecatfse of an
other economy wave against aid
to Veterans"

Zone of series of special ar
ticles written by DISTINGUISHED
authors for the "See Your West
Scenic View Program sponsored
by Standard Oil Company of
California;
The Grand Coulee Dam is the
biggest thing ever built by man.
Its bulk is four times that of the
Great Pyramid. Into it was
poured enough concrete to build
a standard highway sfrom Seattle
to New York and back to Puget
Sound again by way of Los
Angeles!
There is another way to get an
idea of the immensely of Grand
Coulee Dam. Suppose the EN-
pire State Building was three
quarters of mile taller than il
it, and then imagine it lying
across the Columbia and cascad-
ing over it waterfall twice the
size of Niagara.
But man alone cannot take
credit for the big dam. There had
to be the Grand Coulee before
there could be dam. That took
six thousand years, six thousand
years out of time before God put
man upon the earth at all.
The ancient Columbia that ran
through the old COulee was q
thousand feet deep in places; and
here, only halfway on its wild
rush to marry the Pacific, it was
up to five miles in width! When
the great glaciers tried to- block
such a force, it began to cut
for itself this new cash in the
earth. And when the glaciers re-
coded, it returned to its old
course, leaving the Grand Coulee
above it.
If you visited "The Dry Falls
in the years before the war, you
remember the mysterious stiffness
of the great gorge. The coulees
whose inclining sides distin-
guish them from canyons a
strange loneliness about them.
The explorer Alexander Ross felt
this. at is the wonder of the
Oregon Country" he said, for
west was then "Oregon"-and he
was reminded of "the dark and
porous catacombe of Kief." He
thought he heard rumblings in
everything in the Pacific North
the earth and he could believe
the Indians who told him that
thunderings and lightning flashes
were more frequent here than
elsewhere in the land.
Some of you saw the great
dam building and so heard the
roars and explosions and the
thousand-and-one concentrations
of construction that transcribed
the roar of the great Columbia
itself. More than five thousand
men worked on it: powder men,
jack-hammer men, high riggers,
divers, carpenters and wood
workers, steel and iron workers,
riveters and welders-the big dam
needed every technique known to
civilization. The construction gave
problems never tackled except on
the drawing board, and some Of
these meant the invention of ma
