Suffering a severe chest and
abdominal burn resulting from a
fuel oil explosion at the Emmett
Augare ranch at Babb Tuesday

critical condition at the Blackfeet
Hospital.
The near-tragedy had it's ac-
compartment in the destruction

Circumstances of the misfor-
tune are that Mrs. Collins sought
to rebuild a fire in the kitchen
stove. Mr.. Collins a short time
earlier that morning had built a
fire in the stove and was out do
ing ranch chores. His wife gett-
ing up in the meantime assumed
that it had gone out, and accord
ing to report, placed fuel wood
in the stove. dousing it with oil
to hasten ignition.
The explosion shot burning oil
in all direction, Mrs. Collins
standing close to the stove in her
night robe being directly exposed.
She did not realize the serious
ness Of the injury until she was
brought to the hospital later that
morning.
The Collins couple and Mrs.
Augare were the only ones at
home at the time, Mr.. Augare
being in Great Falls on business.
The dwelling and most of its
contents were destroyed, there

Most Of The
Per Capita Money
aid This Week

Most of the per capita money
released from the Tribal office
this week has been paid out local
ly. according to Tiff Mckay,
treasurer.
Payment began Monday morn
ing, with the usual large number
of recipients on hand the first
two days. The payment during
the week is being reflected in
heavy buying at local torres.
However, on the basis of the pre-
sent 40 cents dollar, the purchas-
ing power has dwindled to less
than half of that in 1899. In
other words, it now requires SIS
to buy what six dollars bought in
1889, the basis of dollar value
reckoning for wartime and post
war evaluation.

Indian Squad
In First Defeat
(By Jackie Billedeaux)

The Browning Indians dream
of their first undefeated football
season since 1941 was shattered
last Friday night on the locaI
field when the invading Oilmont
Trojans defeated them 200.
The Indians must now defeat
Waller here Oh October 81 to send
the conference into a three-way
tie Letwce Browning, Waller
and Oilinont. Waller defeated
Oilmont earlier 1876.
The Indians took the opening
kickoff and reared up the field
to the Trojan 8-yard line, but
were stopped and had to give up
the ball. The Trojans drove to
the midfield stripe and til e n
pulled the prize pass play of the
game.
The Oilmont quarterback toss
ed the ball over the center of the
line to his end, cutting over all
the way for the first score. The
plunge for the score was good
and Oilmont led 10.
Althoug the Indians drov e
within the Oilmont 1O-yard line
three times in the first half they
failed to score. Once the Red
Skins drove to the 3-yard line,
only to lose the ball on tumble.
The Oilmont herd held and the
half was 10 for Oilmont.
The third quarter was nip aud
tuck, but the Trojans scored once
more and ran to 40. The score
came on fake punt formation,
the halfback throwing to the end.
The Indians failed to hit in the
air and in the last few minutes
Of the game Oilmont intercepted
a desperation pass and scored the
last touchdown for Oilmont's
victory, 200.
Oilmont had t he Indians's
passing attack completely blan-
keted, but the Indians dominated
ground play. making 10 frs t
downs while the Trojans had
only two. The Oilmont passing
attack was very successful, how
ever, and it was the factor that
stood outmost in downing the
Indians.

Hungering for the great out

business cares, Todd Pfrimmer
of Todd's Steak House had his
quest partly defeated on his 49,
day elk hunting trip on Whistle
Creek in the FYathead forests by

For nearly two-thirds of the
time he was away, he said. he
lounged around camp in relaxa-
tion-in fact. letting his lazy
streak have full sway to the point
of nearly giving up the ghost.
One morning he decided to get
out and rough it-go out and get
his elk.
Whatever he said or whatever
he did to the pack-horse is not
known-but something occurred
it didn't like and it turned loose
with a ''hay-maker' hat got
Pfrinms.r on the left thigh.
1t was a painful blow and it
kept Pfrimmer in camp for days.

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 29.-A time
limit on baseball games for the
benefit of the fans and press is ex-
pected to be instituted here Satur-
day and Sunday when the Texas

to be kept out at the ball park until

The sports writers also urged
earlier finishes so the stories ano
box scores could make the editions.
At any rate, President j. Alvin
Gardner said indications were that
most of the league members wouio
favor at least midnight deadline.

by a number of the clubs last season

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Over-
shadowing the strictly business
phases of the meeting of All-Ameri-
ca Conference club owners here to-
day was the Bill Daley case" and
there was talk of a new legal clash
between the infant pro circuit and
the rival National Football League.
Outside the meeting rooms it was
reported that if the former Mime
sofa star who played with the con-
ference's Brooklyn and Miami clubs
last year should jump to the Ma
tional Leagues Pittsburgh Steelers
the conference would 60 to court
with the case.
Daley was traded by Brooklyn to
Miami late last season before the
Miami club folded and it's franchise
was shifted to Baltimore for 1947.
The big fullback recently conferred
with Pittsburgh officials concerning
a contract for next season, but Rob-
ert Rodenberg. head Of the Balti-
more club, said Daley promised him
he would not sign before talking to
Baltimore officials.
Signed Two-Year Contract.
Brooklyn Club Owner Bill Cox
pointed out that Daley signed two
year contract with Brooklyn last
season. Under conference rules,
when a club folds its player con-
tracts automatically revert to the
commissioner for reassignment
Daley was assigned to Baltimore.

The conference magnates, however,
don't believe the same situation ap-
plies.
Two more names have been added
to the list of possible candidates for
the AAC commissionership vacated
by the resignation of James Crowley.
Navy Coach Tom Hamilton and Co
lumbia Mentor Lou Little were said
to be in the running for the $25 900
job.
Hamilton, still an active captain in
the Navy, was in Bermuda. 1t IS
known that he was approached
about the position, but to date he
has had no comment to make. In
reply to recent coaching offers,
Little has insisted he was perfectly
satisfied" at Columbia.
Carroll May Get Job.
If the owners are unable to agree
on head man at the meeting which
winds up Thursday. Lou Carroll. the
league attorney, might be named as
an interim commissioner.
The leagues antigambling rules
were made public for the first time
yesterday. They stipulate that any
one who has knowledge of an at
tempeted fix and does not report 1t
is automa tically banned from the
game for life: that any one who re-
ceives 2 gift for winning game or
in any other connection with playing
football and fails to inform the
commissioner is declared ineligible
for three years, in the case of Off
cials, for life.
Any player who bets on'a game in
which his team plays is automati-
cally banned for life, and if club
owner or coach bets on a game in
which his club is not actually in
volved, the rules call for a one-year
suspension.
