Gil was born in nearby Keno
sha, Wis, on July II, 1914, the
eldest of four children to Mr..
and Mrs. William O. Richter of
6124-23rd Avenue and has
spent much of his life along the
north shore.
Reared in a religious family,
Gil gained his early education
in the Freidens Evangelical
Lutheran school in his native
community and was gradual
ed from the Kenosha high
school in the spring of 1882.
Among his accomplishments
while attending high school
was his ability to play the from
bone and he played first chair
first trombone in the high
school band.
Following his graduation
Richter wasted little time get
ting into his chosen trade, as he
Immediately gained employ
ment as an apprentice in the
N. C. Schroeder Market in Ken
osha. He came to Zion as as
sistant manager of the Norris
Market in 1887.
1t was while employed at the
Norris Market that he became
acquainted with his wife, the
former Miss jeanette Brown,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph B. Brown, who at that
time was employed as wait
ress in the B. B. Sweet Shop res
taurant. This acquaintance de-
veloped into a full Pledged ro-
nance and Gil and Jeanette
we're united in marriage on
December 20, 1912, six months
after Richter was called into
the service.
This wedding, which is be-
lieved to be the first military
ceremony in Zion during the
recent war, was performed in
the Zion Memorial Methodist
church with the Rev. Franz Ed
wards officiating.
Gilbert was called into the
service on June 3, 1912, enter
ing the u. S. Army and was
transferred to Camp Grant
near Rockford for basic train
ing. He was later transferred
to the medical corps and re-
ceived his technical training at
the Fitzsimmons General Hos
pital in Denver, Colo.
From Denver Gil was assign
ed to the 83rd General hospital
unit at Camp White, Oregon,
in Sept. 1912. Gil and his wife
remained in Oregon until 1914
and their first child, Ralph
William, was born at Camp
White on January 5, 1914. =
Richter was shipped over
seas early in 1914 and arrived
in Great Britain late in Janu-
airy. Stationed at a large hos
pital base in North Wales near
the English border town of
Chester, Gil spent close to two
years caring for wounded Am
erican soldiers evacuated from
the European battle fields.
Thirteen wards comprised
the facilities at this hospital
and accommodations here were
available for 1900 men. His

Nazis' buzz bomb. One of these
bombs struck very close to the
hospital and knocked out the
power plant, leaving the hos
pital without lights for a per-

Shortly after We Day his
hospital unit was dissolved and
Gil was transferred to France,
from where he was re-assigned
for further duty in the Pacific,
but the abrupt end of the war
cancelled these orders and he,
along with a large number of
his buddies, were sent directly
back to America, leaving
France aboard the Queen Mary
on Thanksgiving Day in 1916
and arriving in New York City
four days later.
Upon arrival in the states
Richter was first sent to Camp

AMENDED MEASURE TO
INCREASE WHEAT AREA

Washington, d. c., Aug. "a
Montana's 1850 wheat acreage will
be increased $4,000 acres under
terms of legislation which passed
the house of representatives,
Congressman Wesley A. D'Ewart
has announced.
D'Ewart, who earlier had pro-
tested the % per cent reduction in
Montana acreage as recommended
by the agriculture department,
said senate action on the acreage
allotment measure seemed certain.
The department of agriculture
1850 wheat program would have
permitted Montana farmers to
raise 4,265,SO6 acres in 1850, %
per cent less than the $4,000
planted this year. The national
average reduction was II per
cent.
The new legislation places acre
age allotments on a per farm
basis which will take into account
recent developments in wheat pro-
duction.
Montana's estimated increase If
$4,000 acres will bring the state
close to the national reduction.
The bill would increase Colorado's
acreage by 100000 acres, and Tex
as and Oklahoma by 10000. The
other states would receive small
changes in acreage.

Cox, Ace Duke Passer
Taking Great Record
Into 6. W. Contest
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

DURHAM, N. c., Nov. AL
though he's still a junior, Billy
Cox already has broken the Duke
Blue Devils all-time passing rec
ord and expectations are he'll add
plentiful yardage to his total on
Saturday when he plays with his
football team against George
Washington University at Grit
fifth Stadium In Washington.
Billy, a tall, lanky blond boy
from Mount Airy, has passed for
a total gain Of 879 yards in his
two years on the varsity. He has
the remainder Of this season and
next season to add to his record.
Cox's total compares with the
previous record Of 853 yards made
by Wes McAfee in the seasons Of
1898 through 1910.
Billy also has surpassed Nc
Affee's record for passing by a
Duke player for a single season.
Wes rolled up a total gain Of 414
yards in 1910. but so far this
season, Cox has connected on 46
of 20 passes for a gain OF 631
yards.
Billy's passing helped a lot in
the two major victories Duke has
racked up this year, over Tennes-
see and Georgia Tech. Against
Tennessee he passed for two
Itouchdcwns and against Tech he
passed for one score.
Last year, when he played un-
derstudy to Fred Folger, Cox was
rated only a fair passer. His rec
ord this year can be attributed to
his own improvement and that Of
his receivers.
Billy, a quiet, shy youth who
Is known as Squirrel" by team
mates. is fair runner and kicker
in addition to being a top passer
He has carried the ball lit
times this season for a total
gain Of at yards-offset by some
219 yards he has lost. mainly by
being caught when he was back
to pass. He has punted 81 times
for an average Of 38.5 yards.
One of the high lights Of Cox's
sophomore days was an 80-yard
run he reeled OF against Mary
land. This year he has scored
seven touchdowns. These includ-
ed one dash Of 45 yards, one of
"a. two Of 80, one Of Is and one
of 10.
