COACH BOB SNYDER and his
" University of Toledo foot
ballers may not set the Mid
American Conference on fire
next fall but fellow named Ed
Burgin is certainly going to give
the fans plenty of excitement.
Burgin, a Rocket halfback,
stole the show last Saturday
night in a warm up game with
Central Michigan. He only scor-
ed once, a 47-yard gallop up the
middle, but every time he got
his hands on the ball he was
good for yards.
He's only little guy but he
can really move. He comes at
you all at once and then just
seems to glide past.
The rest of the Toledo team
looked much improved over last
year in the important blocking
and tackling departments. Sny-
der's magic seems to be conta-
gious to the boys.

Next week the league will
start its third season and from
all indications another excellent
year is on tap. Five teams have
already signed to perform. II is
hoped another club can be add
ed so each team will be in ac-
ton every week.
Teams planning to participate
this year include National Sup
ply, Auto-Lite, Plaskon, Acklin
Stamping and Doehler Jarvis.

The MONDAY Lea ague is a
great thing for Local IL mem
bers as it gives the many times
forgotten night worker a chance
to get little sun and also a
chance to take part in competi-
tive athletics.
But the most important asset
for the league is the opportunity
it offers for keeping in good ply
sical shape. If you work nights
and aren't getting any recrea-
ton, join one of the teams. You'll
feel lot better.

Game Laws
Game law violators are thievt

Game law violators are thieves
so treat them accordingly.
No truer words were ever
spoken, and the failure of many
gunners and fishermen to abide
by the standards of good sports
manshp are largely responsible
for finding some game popula-
ton at low ebb. Although the
game hog and out-of-season of
fender operate on both game and
fish, the illegal slaughter of
Waterfowl is probably the worst
of all.
How can you stop it? Since
appealing to the guys who break
the Laws to change their ways
has made little headway, we're
g o n G to have to have more
money, more men and more Jail
sentences. Catch the guy shoot
ing ducks on the spring flight
northward and throw hm in Jail
for few months. When fines
fail to discourage out-of-season
shooting, a stiff Jail sentence
will make anybody think twice
before taking a pot shot at a
mallard.

Jesse was winner of the 100

running board jump, and a
member of the winning 400
meter relay team in the Olym-
pic games held at Berlin in
1885. He made such a clean
sweep of his track events that
Hitler, humiliated by the show
ing of his Aryan supermen, left
the stands before the presenta-
ton of awards, so that he would
not have to shake the hand of
the great Negro athlete. He held
eight outdoor track and field
records, either jointly or alone.
In college meet, held at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, on May 25,
1885, he broke three worlds rec
ords and tied another. Owens
attended Ohio State University
as an undergraduate and is from
Cleveland, Ohio. He is perhaps
the greatest track star the
United States has ever pro-
duced.

be so technical.
No too long ago, no fisher
man in the know, would buy
a bait casting line unless it
was made of the very best
silk Obtainable. At that time
silk was the only material
known for a good casting line,
especially for fresh water
fishing. But, with the advent
of nylon, that picture changed
rapidly. Fishermen were
quick to accept the new ma
terial because it required
much less care and would
hold its strength much longer.
Nylon, is without saying, a
great improvement over silk
for longer wear and hard
usage.
Nylon monofilament has also
been accepted as casting line,
especially. for spinning. None OF
the old type braided lines can
compare with monofilament for
smoothness. But, due to the
stiffness of the material, it is
seldom if used on conventional
bait casting reels. Even with
spin casters, not too much en-
thusiasm is shown for the single
strand, except in the smaller
sizes ranging from two to six
pound test.
Inasmuch as we have a great
many lines on the market today,
a much clearer picture can be
drawn by breaking them down
to final conclusions. The angler
can then choose the line best
suited for his particular fishing.
It is the intent of the Editor in
future articles TO bring these
points out.
