"Murakowski has terrific speed"
says his coach, Bob Voigts, land
he's as good a defensive back as
there Is in the Big Nine Conference
today. He's exceptionally fine on
trap plays and his speed makes him
very good on end sweeps"
Darling of Texas is Doak Walker
of Southern Methodist, 2l-year-
old junior. HE is one Of the great
est players of all time in the South
west and matches smartness and
courage against power" says his
coach. Matty Bell. Walker served
In both the merchant marine and
the Army.
Walker Versatile Ace.
In the first eight games Of the,
season Walker carried the ball SO
times for 442 yards, passed 81 times
with % completions for 23S yards
and six touchdownS, and averaged
43.4 yards on % punts He returned
eight punts for 1873 yards, caught II
passes for 256 yards and three
touchdowns.
Walker resembles Justice as a
runner, using his interference ef-
fectively and feinting tacklers out
of position.
Fourth member Of the first team
backfield Is a solid, hard-running
successor to Glenn Davis at West
Point-Bobby Stuart, 5 feet II
inches and ITS pounds. He has to
his distinction one of the longest of
all touchdown runs-l03 yards-an
important factor in his teams 1920
defeat of Pennsylvania.
"He Is a great team player, with
spirit and drive says Coach Earl
Blaik of Army. Playing his last
year at the Point, he had net gain
of s26 yards by rushing before the
Navy game, averaging rs yards for
each try.
At end is the star Of one of the
Nations great teams-Dick Rifen-
burg of Michigan. He is 6-foot-
3-inch 197-pound senior. the stand
out on a squad where the level was
30 high that individual merit often
was lost. In Big Nine Conference
play, the toughest there is, he
gained more than 800 yards on
passes, scoring four touchdowns,
and made u yards in 10 end-around
rushes.
Rifenburg Spectacular Receiver.
Rifenburg's ability to get behind
the secondary, plus his catching
skill, Is the basis of his playing
style. A long-striding runner, he
made over the shoulder and off,
balance catches.
At the other end is George Barney
Poole, the same height as Rifen-
burg, but weighing 220 pounds. This
Is his seventh and last year of COL
lege football. He played one year
as q Marine Viz trainee at North
Carolina, three at West Point with

the great teams of 1944-1946, and
three at Mississippi.
His experience gives him an edge
on his opponents. Between plays
he seems almost sluggish and unin-
Iterested, conserving his energy for
action. On defense, he can crash
into opposing backfields almost be-
fore the ball is snapped, and as a
pass receiver his size and speed
make him a terror. Hes great
football player" says Coach Johnny
Vaught.
At first team tackles are two
giants. Leo Nomellini is feet 2, "a
years old, $50 pounds. He served
10 months in the South Pacific in
the Marines and is a junior at Min
nesota. The heaviest lineman on
the squad, he is great at recovering
fumbles. The team calls him Leo

In Battle Of Words

While Stonewall Jackson and
Sonny Boy West quietly 60 about
training for their fight at Uline
Arena next Wednesday night, their
respective managers are conducting
a noisy argument. The snipers are
Billy Edwards, who does the brain
work for jackson, and Mighty Mel
Stevenson, front man for West.
The fuss is about the foul tactics
used, or not used, by the other mans
fighter. Before the first Jackson
West fight some weeks ago, Jackson
was asked to tone down his usual
wild swinging, back-hand punching
and so forth. Came fight time and
Jackson was a bit more subdued and
he lost on an eight-round knockout.

The other tackle is Bill Fischer,
captain of the mighty Notre Dame
team. He is 81 years old, 8 feet 2

Fischer was too young for war serv-
ice. He is playing his last year
for the Irish. Much of our sue
cess this year is due to the wonder

Coach Frank Leahy.

the State Advisory Council was held
IN Jackson. The Hospital Advisory
Council is the official advisory body
TO the Hospital Commission in the
direction of the Mississippi Hospital
construction Program. There were
~ persons present at the meeting
which was considered an excellent
representation since these members
come from all sections of the state.
az Report Mode
The chairman of the Hospital Com
mission, Mr.. j. o. Slaughter. made a
progress report on the 1947 activities
OF the Commission. DR.. Felix j. I'm
derWood, a member of the Commits
slon' outlined the legislative object
ives OF the Commit ssion and stated
that the first $5,000,000 of state
funds which had been appropriated
VIII all have been allocated to oun
ties by the end of the present fis-
cal year, but that these counties will
need to have more time allowed in
order to construct the hospitals need
ed and claim the funds now in the
treasury. He stated that the Commits
sion will request the Legislature to
extend the time for the counties to
utilize these funds into the next
biennium. DR.. Underwood stated
that there were now applications on
hand which would more than take up
an additional $5,O00,0O0 of state
funds on the basis of one-third state
grants, one-third Federal, and one
third local, and that the Legislature
would be requested to consider an
additional appropriation of $5,000,000
In order to continue the State Hos
pital Construction Program through
l948-50 biennium. He also stated
that in conformity with the FEEDER
al law requiring each state to have
a uniform licensing law for hospi-
tails receiving aid under the act such
a law would be presented for legis-
lative consideration in January. He
stated that the Commission had
worked very diligently on the man
date from the legislature to provide
a statewide program on nursing ed
ucation, but has not been able to es-
tablish such a program due to the
expense to hospitals under the pres
ent system of providing adequate
nursing education. He stated that the
Legislature would be requested to
consider this plohlem and possibly
make appropriations to assist in the

Nurse Survey
"A survey IS now being made of
all the nurses available for nursing
care in the state. This survey in
cludes trained nurses, practical nur-
ses and nurses aides. This informa-
ton will be provided for the guidan-
&c of the Legislature in its considera-
ton of a statewide Nursing Educa-
ton Program. DR.. Underwood stated
that the Commission had found
House Bill 430, enacted the last re-
gular session of the Legislature in
1916, to be an excellent provision as
a foundation for the Mississippi Hos
pital Program, and that only minor
changes would be suggested in re-
gard to this law.
More Nurses Needed
DR.. Henry Boswell, past-president
of the State Hospital Association,
and Commission representative en-
the Statewide Nursing Education
Program, outlined the acute needs
OF the hospitals of the state for adj
ditionaI nurses, and stated that the
new hospital construction now under
way IN Mississippi would require APP
proximately 800 additional nurses
each year. He stated that the Com
mission was greatly concerned over
the inadequate supply of nurses,
and was making plans with the hos
pital authorities and members of the
medical and nursing professions to
introduce legislation which would
provide the state with an adequate
supply of nurses.

Insurance Committee, stated that
Mississippi has now ben approved

mission, by the American Medical

Association, the State Hospital As
ISOLATION and the State Department
OF Insurance, that all legal and fl
nancial problems have been solved
and that the hospital and surgical
policies are now ready to be fur
nished to the people of the state.
He stated that if the new hospital
construction program is to be sue
cessful, it will be necessary to as
sure the hospitals of an adequate
income and that is what the Volun-
tary Hospital Insurance Program,
which was directed by House Bill
430 the last Legislature, is intended
to perform. He stated that the Mis-
sissippi Hospital and Medical Serv-
ice Program expects to enlist not
less than 10000 members during the

CIVILIZATION IN ONE
EASY LESSON

By Roberts Mann
Superintendent of Conserva-
ton Forest Preserve District
of Cook County, Illinois.
Behold the vacationist, poor
guy, headed for the hinterland
he hopes. He's going to
rough it. Yeah. He'll rough it
with guides, a lodge, fireplaces
and wassail. He'll hurry there
and hurry back. Why? I don't
know. He has some vague idea
of recapturing the simple de-
lights of the old swimming
hole where the catfish used to
bite. Plus a trophy.
Why all the gadgets? Why
this ponderous preparation?
Will he hear, amidst the cal
culated casting of his fly-rod,
the whispering of the wind?
Will he sense the strength and
dignity of the trees? Will he
see the carpet beneath them?
Will he find peace and COM
fort in the rain? Will he bless
the sun? I doubt it.
He's a creature of what we
call civilization-lopsided men
tally and physically. His daily
life is saturated with speed,
noise and deadly routine. Herd
ed into jostling crowds, he
shuns solitude as he would a
plague. The apparent futility
of material and moral hus-
bandry has him licked. He's
a lonely frightened soul. His
makeshift god is Success, mea-
sured by his income tax and
what the Joneses do. But he

Rigid enforcement is par
ticularly evident in some To-
calities when state laws require
that motorists must stop when
approaching a school bus load
ing or unloading passengers.
In most of these states, par
ticular emphasis is placed on
motorists approaching a school
bus from the opposite direc-
ton, and large fines have been
levied on those who did not
stop.
The motor club recommends
that motorists watch for and
strictly adhere to traffic regu-
lations and speeds posted on
signs along every highway and
always slow down, under es-
tablished speeds, when ap-
preaching and travelling
through cities, towns and vii
lagos.

The high-doIlar pros wasted little
time yesterday in walloping the par

rounds as the 45th Western Open
championship got under way with

him with a 81 was Ben Hogan, the

in his jeans.
Surprise of the day was the AZ

who took down third position with

The scorer also gave DR.. Cary Mid
