To z Cage Games

The Ohio high school athletic
association has limited basketball
games of member schools to %
per year, 1t was announced today.
H. w. Emswiler, commissioner
of the association, said member
coaches voted Overwhelmingly
905 to 84-for the limitation. The
limit was set for 20 games for
schools playing IL man football
and % for smaller schools which
do not play regular football.
The commissioner emphasized
that the new limitation will not
have any effect on moving up the
dates of the state basketball
tournament but was meant most
ly to curtail midweek playing.
The coaches also voted to re-
tain the rectangular basketball
blackboard at the coming state
tournament at the Columbus
fairgrounds coliseum in early
March, as opposed to the fan
shape blackboard. The vote was
472 for the rectangle and 371 for
the fan shape.

history.
With normal production in 1949,
the wheat yield would surpass the
1000, 100000 bushel mark for the
fifth consecutive year.
Marketings from the huge out
turn of food and fiber in 1948 will
bring the nations producers about
10000, 100000 before allowing for
farm costs.
Gross receipts will be about
600,000,000 larger than in 1947.
The catch is that production costs
have gone up while prices of some
commodities moved in the other
direction.
A large part of the 1949 wheat
crop is already in the ground and
unless plans are changed between
now and spring planting time
farmers are prepared to go ahead
with all-out production.
Much will depend on what the
new congress does about appro-
priatihg additional funds for the
European Recovery Program. This
money is expected to provide
a major market for American
food, especially grains over the
next few years.

Wild Life Needs
Help From Snow

SportSmen of Ohio who appre-
Ciate the sport of small game
shooting during the open season
can make life little more bear
able for wild game brood stock
during the heavy winter SHOWS
of January and February by pro-
viding feeding stations wherever
heavy cover harbors a concentra-
tiOn of game.
Throughout the winter many
sportSmen's clubs carry out we'll
planned winter feeding programs
as a major contribution to wild
life conservation and thereby save
hundreds of rabbits and pheasants
and other species of game that
would otherwise find rough going
when deep SHOWS cover up the
normal winter food supply. Squir
rels have little trouble since they
prepare for any sort of weather
by storing food but other species
of small game depend on good
eating between SHOWS and put
with slim pickings when d heavy
snow stays on for weeks at a
time.
The Ohio Division of Conserva-
ton field men in every county
keep an eye on game Concentra-
tions and maintain feeding sta
tions but it's more than a one
man job. Sportsmen'S clubs in
terested in giving wildlife
helping hand should contact the
county game protector for advise
and guidance in setting up a feed
ing program.
During the winter months Wild
life normally gathers in and
around woodlots or thickets for
shelter providing there is a source
of food nearby. Feeder stations
constructed of brush or corn fod-
der shocks supplied periodically
with hay and grain will attract
wildlife almost over night.

No Accidents
In Deer Hunting

Deer hunters of Ohio estimated
at between Us and 20 thousand
for the deer season in 1948 which
ended December 18 upheld the
states five-season record of no
accidents.
Conservation Commissioner H.
A. Rider said today, To our
knowledge there wasn't an acci-
dent of any kind during the l948
deer season which speaks well
for the thousands of hunters who
searched the fields and woods of
13 northeastern Ohio counties for
venison on the hoof."
Deer hunters this year killed
between 1900 and 1000 deer ac-
cording to scattered reports from
the deer hunting counties uphold
ing last years ratio of l deer to
every Is hunters. Deer kill ques-
tionnaireS furnished with hunt
ing permits are being tabulated at
Division headquarters in Colum-
bus and within a few weeks ac-
curate records of the 1948 hunt
will be available. Until then, all
figures are merely estimates and
unofficial.
Asked how Division officials
account for the lack of hunting
accidents, Commissioner Rider in
diCated that in his opinion the
deer hunters seem to be more
cautious and generally have dis
played a much higher regard for
clean sportsmanship. There were
very few hunting law violations
among the deer hunters" Sc said.
Dr. f. D. Martin, chief of the
Divisions game management sec
ton said today that he is hopeful
that hunters who bought deer
permits will fill in the post card
questionnaires received with the
permits and mail them immediat-
ely whether they killed deer or
not. The information is needed by
the Division of Conservation to
complete the hunting season
records.

Clarifying out of bounds rules,
another revision made by the
committee declares that it is a
violation if a dribbler steps on or
outside a boundry line during his
dribble, even though he may not
actually touch the ball while he
is out of bounds.
On a throw-in from out of
bounds, teammates may not oc-
cupy adjacent positions near the
boundary line if opponents de-
sire positions between them.
The committee suggested, but
did not require, that player on
whom a personal foul is called
raise his hand at arms length
above his head, and that no digit
above five be used in numbering
players.
