have enough men to field a
team at opening game time a
few weeks away. Young, strong
men were busy playing" for
Uncle Sam at that time.
It was a campus gag that the
coach had to count noses every
day to see how many of the
team had left for military serv-
ice since the previous practice,
When Spears got out on the
field he saw a couple of backs
throwing passes to the rest of
the group. Immediately he took
an interest in one of the passers.
He was a husky, bull-necked
looking kid who tossed a pig
skin like catchers throw a base
ball to second base. His name
was Emlen Tunnel - a name
that was soon to be very well
known around Toledo sports cir
cles.
Tunnel starred in the first
few Rocket contests, both on Of
tense and defense. But then bad
luck struck. His neck was
broken in a game with Marshall
College. His athletic career was
finished, they said.
But near the end of basketball

This
Series Upset
The Records?

It's practically an even-money
bet that the losing team in any
game of the World Series will
not score more than one run, ac-
cording to the November issue
of Baseball Digest.
In the article, pitching Is the
Series Payoff," Stanley Frank
points out that in the 268 Series
games played until this year 81
games ended in shutouts, while
in 70 others the losers were held
to a lone run.
Frank also stresses the fact
that none of the games 400 hit
tiers ever has appeared in the
Series in his banner year and
that league batting champions
appear only rarely. But the lead
ing percentage pitchers have
been on 80 of the Series repre-
sentatives from each league and
that in the 81 seasons since 1918,
when the first earned run tabu-
lations were made, the top team
in the National League has had
the most effective pitcher Is
times and the American League
13 times.
Other evidence" presented in
the November Baseball Digest,
ranging from the 1906 "Hitless
Wonders" the Chicago White
Sox, right through the 1949 New
York Yankees, proves it's the
pitchers time to shine when the
World Series is on.

To learn these letters and their
subsequent sizes in thousandths
of an inch, takes but a matter of
minutes. But, to learn what size
to use for a particular type of
fishing is another matter. To be-
come a good fly caster, one must
first have a basic knowledge of
fly lines and their construction.
More stress should be placed on
line knowledge than on any
other part of your equipment.
There being no limit to which we
can 60 in the study of lines and
their use. Whether we r angl-
ing for small brookies or the
silver king of the salt, there is
a line for fish of every size and
for fishing under all conditions.
Therefore, we must know our
lines before we can balance them
to suit the conditions u d e r
which we fish and to the fish
we endeavor to catch.
AL fly lines manufactured
today are numbered by let
ters from the alphabet. The
smallest commercial fly line
being a level 81" (0.22) inches
in diameter. The next size
larger being an III" O025)
diameter. Line sizes above an
"H" change .005 inches In di-
ameter for each change in size.
Just remember, the nearer the
letter to the start of the alpha
bet, the larger the line. An
"a" being .060 and a "AA"
being .065 in diameter. All
sizes larger than "AA" r
given in decimal dimensions
only. Unless the angler is in
terested in National fame as
a distance caster, he need not
90 farther than a "AA" line.
This being the very largest
used in general fly fishing.
In years past a larger line was
used for salmon fishing with
a two handed rod, but that
equipment is now history
among the light tackle fans
today.
The most popular level lines
n use today are, III" (.025) &C"
(.03O) 81" (.035) "E" (.040) I'D"

MIR. Marr is a pioneer and
leader in Scouting for Negro
boys. Before becoming a profess
sional leader in Scouting in
1924, Mr.. Mari was scoutmaster
for six years and then a Scout
commissioner. During this per
iod he was a teacher, a high
school principal and superin-
tendent.
He is a native of Bryson City,
N. c., a graduate of Duke uni
versity and has taken graduate
work at Columbia university
and the University of Bordeaux,
France.
His first professional post was
as deputy regional Scout eX-
ecutive in Region 6. In 1924 he
became Scout executive at Jack
SonviIle, Fla, where he headed
an experimental project to make
Scouting available to the Negro
boys of the city.
He had an enlarged oppor-
tunity for this special interest
at Atlanta, Ca, where he be-
came scout executive in 1885.
Here he was successful in in
augurating and developing
camping facilities for Negro
BOYS in Scouting. His experience
in this field over the years led
to his present post which ne
has held since January, 1948,
when he succeeded Dr.. Stanley
a. Harris, who retired.

and the Presidents veto of the
Mundt-Nixon bill show the ad-
miniStration'S unWillingneSS to
deal with the threat of COM
munism, which Congressman
D'Ewart said, is a very real
threat.
Administration policy, begin
ming at Yalta, is responsible for
the present Korean war, the
speaker said. This country'S
withdrawal of troops from Ko-
rea and announcement to the
world that this country would
not protect Korea led to the
communist invasion on June Is.
A similar policy was followed
regarding China and at the
present time, D'EWart said, it
appears the administration is
planning to repeat the policy
on FormbSa.
Attempts to pass legislation
concentrating more power in
the federal government are steps
toward socialism, the congress-
man said. He named the Spence
bill, which was defeated, as a
bill of this type. Following the
outbreak of the Korean war the
administration again attempted
to put through a measure SIM
lar to the Spence bill. The Con-
greSS modified the bill into the
present economic controls bill
giving the president ample power
to deal with the present emer-
gency, he said.

School Legislation
Results in
Drastic Changes

An analysis of the distribu-
ton of state aid for public ele-
mentary and secondary schools
during the year 1949-50 has dis
closed that far-reaching chang
es have resulted from school
legislation enacted during the
1949 session, the Montana Tax
payer reported recently.
Not only did the state make a
significant increase in the total
amount of aid furnished but
the new method of distribution
radically altered the amounts
received by the respective coun-
ties.
Big Horn county received
$175,888, or 500 per pupil. In the
previous year this county re-
ceived $114,351, or $64 per pu-
pill, the Taxpayer reported.
The total amount provided
from state sources was in
creased from $1,000, ISL in the
1948-49 school year to $7,486, 652
in 1949-5O. This represented an
increase of $685. sol, or "A per
cent. An increase of $4,000, 900
in the legislative appropriation
more than offset an unexpected
drop in earnings from the pub
lie school permanent fund.
On a per pupil basis, the
1949-5O distribution from state
school funds for all purposes
came to $79. compared to only
$58 in the preceding year. The
figures include money distrib-
uted from the permanent fund
collection, for transportation as
well as for state equalization.
On a county basis, the distri-
button of the funds in 1949-50
ranged from a low of $50 per
pupil in Meagher county to a
high of Sal in Carter county.
Thus the schools of Carter
county received an average of
nearly five times as much per
pupil as did the schools OF
Meagher county.
Although Big Horn county is
an exception, the increase in
state aid failed to reduce prop
erty taxes on a statewide ba-
sis although such reduction was
one objective of the increase in
the state appropriation, the re-
port stated.
While total state aid in
creased $2,286, sol during the
period, property taxes for school
purposes also increased $1,226,-
119. Higher budgets for schools
receiving increases in state aid
and higher taxes for school con-
struction in many districts pre-
vented any widespread use of
state aid to reduce property
taxes.
Counties, in addition to Big
Horn which were exceptions to
the rule and actually succeeded
in reducing local levies included
Baine, Garfield, Hill, Lake,
Madison, Ravalli, Sanders, Sher-
idan and Valley:
