LUJACk IS ATHLETE OF
 YEAR 1947
Annual Poll of Sports Writers by Associated
 Press Announced

NEW YORK, Jan. l5.--tR- Johny Lujack, Notre Danes All America quarterback, today was named male athlete of f-the-year for 1947 in the annual Associated Press yearend poll.
 The 22-year-old star, winner of ths Heisman Memorial Trophy and named the standout player of the Jan. East-West Shrine game at San Francisco, drew almost twice as many first place votes from the nations sports editors as his near est competitor.
 Fifteen thought Lujack was the No. l man and eight voted for 1unnerup Jack Kramer and eight for Joe DiMaggio. On a point ba- sis, with five for first, three for second and one for third, Lujack piled up 116 credits to 78 for Kramer, the national tennis champ, and 49 for DiMaggio, flashy cen terfielder of the world champion New York Yankees.
 Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn's first baseman who was the first Negro to play in the big leagues in mod ern days, drew considerable sup port. So did Doak Walker, the Southern Methodist All-America halfback.
 But Lujack was the winner by a comfortable margin on the strength of his play for the unbeat- en, united Fighting Irish. Honor ed as a fit successor for such great Notre Dame quarterbacks as Harry Stuhldreher, Frank Carideo and Angelo Bertilli, the modest un- assuming senior capped his col legiate career with a brilliant per formance at San Francisco on New Years Day.
 Lujack, a 180-pound six-footer from Connellsville, Pa, said he would play pro football next fall after he has graduated from Notre Dame but he has not decided be- tween the Chicago Bears of the Ma tional League and the Chicago Rockets of the All-America con- ference.

p.C. HOCKEY LE EACUE K
 GOING PRO
lBy The Associated Press

tBy The Associated FreSs)
 The amateur Pacific Coast ice hockey league, in move to expand and to retain it's leading players, will become the Professional West ern Hockey League next year.
 League directors had one eye on options now exercised by pro teams on their best players when they voted unanimously in San Francis co yesterday to go professional in 1949.
 By such action" the board said, i've feel that the high caliber Of hockey to be played in the Pac- fife Coast hockey league can be maintained at it's present stand ard"
 The directors had the other eye on the possibility of taking in new cities in the west to augment the present 10 league members. Al Leader, league president, said ap- plications from Victoria, B. C., and Spokane are expected at the directors May meeting in Van couver. Sacramento, he added, is another definite prospect.
 The board decided to use two referees instead of one referee and two linesmen at league games be- ginning Saturday. This years playcffs will match the first and fourth ranking teams in each di- vision and the second and third place winners in best three out of five series. Division winners will meet in a seven game series for the championship.
 In games last night, the north ern division leader, Seattle, had an easy time in hanging a 6 to l decision on the San Francisco Shamrocks, while in Los Angeles, the hometown Monarchs slugged the Fresno Falcons II to l.

ROUNDUP OF
 SPORT NEWS
By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr


 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-B-On the same day that the National Collegiate A. A. adopted its cele- brated sanitary" code Qast Sat urdayl the United States Golf Association passed a rule concern ing college scholarships that is ex- actly the opposite of the college reguls tion-and just as sanitary
 The US.G.A ruling took the form of an example Of what isn't pernis- sible under it's basic amateur rule which. in effect asks: What does the guy get?"
 The answer in this case is that if golfer, subsequent to his 18th birthday, accepts because of his skill as a golfer "a scholarship or equivalent thereof as an incentive to enroll or continue in an insti- tuticn of learning" he isn't an amateur
 A single exception, made to cover the national caddy champion ship at Columbus, O., but possibly applicable in other cases, permits a golfer to win a scholarship of fered as a tournament prize . It is unofficially explained that there's a distinction between beat ing the field in tournament and being singled out because Of gen. eral ability and that the Western Golf Association caddy schclar- ships aren't affected because golf ing skill is not taken into ac- count there.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-01-15

financial aid from anyone who would not normally provide it (his own family, for instance) he isn't an amateur. That certainly would include a scholarship offered as a prize in a golf tournament Fortunately. few colleges give golf scholarships and fewer tournaments offer them as prizes, but if a boy
 should be caught in the middle, he might have heck of time.

Divorce Who Wed
Episcopal Dean Take!
Residence in Reno
By the Assoeio,ed Press

DETROIT, June 26.-The Very
Rev. Kirk B. OFerrall's romance
with a pretty divorce in his Epis-
copal choir appeared at an end to-
day.
After less than year of marriage,
Mrs. Isabelle Wilson Morill O'Fer-
rail- announced in Reno, New. that
she planned to divorce the digni-
fed, middle-aged former Dean of
st. Pauls Cathedral in Detroit.
Their engagement shortly after
his first wife's death was followed
by Mr.. O'Ferrall's resignation from
ST. Paul's year ago.
He didn't like the way I dressed
and criticized me in public" Mrs
O'Ferrall said today in Reno.
Frankly. I like nice clothes and
lots of hats"
She also noted that she is 80 and
her husband SO, adding:
That's quite discrepancy in our
ages"
Mrs. O'Ferralls attorney, Ken
drick Johnson, termed the pending
action lust a case Of divorce on
the grounds of incompatibility" He
said it would not be contested. Mrs.
OFerrall established Reno resi-
dence a few days ago.
They separated last April in Paris,
France, where Mr.. O'Ferrall then
was acting dean of Holy Trinity
Church.
At the home of a daughter in
Lima, Ohio, Mr.. OFerall had no
comment on his wife's announce
ment.
They we're married last July 5
with the permission of the Rt. Rev.
Frank w, Creighton, Episcopal
bishop of Michigan.
Shortly afterward, the Rt. Rev.
William T. Manning, retired Epis-
copal bishop, openly criticised the
Detroit bishop for sanctioning the
marriage of a minister to a di-
vorcee.
Mrs. Morill was divorced from
her husband, George w. Morrill,, jr.,
In June, 1916, month after Mr..
O'Ferralls wife died. In September
of that year she was singing in
the choir at ST. Paul's.

MILL TAX
By Geore Afahin. Executive Sec7gta,y
axpayesss Federation ofIllimois

One of the simplest amend
ments enacted at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly
involved the deletion of one
word and the substitution in
it's place of two words in a law.
This amendment simply provid-
ed that county clerks, in max
ing out tax bills, should round
off the tax rate of each local
government to the next higher
"even mill" instead of the next
higher "cent''. 1t was the in
tent of this amendment to
have the tax rate end in an
even numbered figure like 2,
4, 6, 8, for administrative rea-
sons. However, the Board of
Experts" at the meeting of the
Taxpayers Federation of Hi
nois with county clerks and
states attorneys on December
3 were unanimously of the
opinion that the amendment
would have had to read the
next higher 'even numbered
milf to achieve that result, and
that the law in fact means that
the county clerk shall compute
tax rates to the next higher
mill, which may be, /, 2, 3, etc.
This will mean an even
greater saving to taxpayers
than was intended.
That this confusion could re-
suit from such a simple amend
ment is the best possible evil
dence of the extreme difficult
ty in drafting legislation that
is impossible of misconstruc-
ton.

Following is a copy of let

written by Mr.. James Hotham,
President, Zion Park District,
to Mr.. Homer Taylor, Chair
man, American Legion Memo
rial Park Committee:
"Dear Mr.. Taylor:
''It is gratifying to see the
American Legion assume the
initiative in organizing civic
endeavor whereby the people
can beautify our community,
by creating such fine setting
for your proposed Memorial
Monument.
"When the plans for this
project were submitted to the
Zion Park Board, unanimous
approval was given, and the
Shiloh Boulevard area between
Sheridan Road and Elisha Ave-
nue. was chosen for the site.
Thus the first step was taken
in a long range plan for the
ultimate development of all or
our vast park land into useful
areas where the men, women
and children of our communi-
ty may find facilities for re-
Taxation and recreation.
"Plans of this nature of
course must rely upon whole
hearted public cooperation
such as you are now receiving,
and the Park Board will also
have to rely upon such pub
lie spirited action in carrying
out it's future plans. However,
even though lack of sufficient
funds may handicap our pro-
gram of maintenance of all
park areas, [ am sure the Park
Board will endeavor to assist
