Congress set the pace for this
move by enactly a law that per-
mits such purchases if the state
will match $3.50 the money the
federal government puts up. Under
this law Florida put up 100000
for an Everglades park purchase
and Kentucky donated 100000
for a Mammoth Cave park pur-
chase.
In 1949 the Montana legislature
cleared the way for the Glacier
purchase by passing a special law
to permit the state to sell these
timberlands without asking for
bids, a move necessary to sell
state lands under any other circum-
stances.
In August last year the state
land board met with park service
officials and agreed to recommend
that the legislature transfer one
half the value of these timberlands

MERRY CHRISTMAS! There's

consider opening enough for me to
remember one.
1t was in 1885 I believe. The
worst of the depression was over

Though u home was in Chi

to leave the city for a week and
we spent the holiday with Grandma
at her home in Iowa. 1t was the
23rd of December when we ar

you never see in the city was
banked high around the railroad
station.
Grandma had a nine foot red
pine standing in the parlor and 1
spent a great deal of time trim

Christmas. There were stuffed
hard candies in cut glass bowls on
every table and crooks of mixed
nuts too. AS l had never in my

Michigan State Gains
33-14 Victory Over
William and Mary
BY the Asseciaied Press

EAST LANSING, Mich, Oct.
IA. - Michigan State College hit
the comeback trail today with a
sparkling 1914 victory over dead
game but disabled William and
Mary.
The powerful Michigan State
team, playing before homecom-
ing crowd Of 1856 fans, drove al
most at will through the South
erners' line.
Only in the last period did the
visitors. both of whose scores were
set up by Michigan State bobbles,
stiffen and show an attack of their
own.
The Spartans were paced by
the play of Left Halfback Sonny
Grandelius who scored two of
their five touchdowns. Other
markers were made by Jesse
Thomas. Leroy Crane and Don
McAuliffe.
Honors for the Indians were
claimed by Halfback Dickie
Lewis, who tailed on Ed Magd-
ziak's pass In the first period, and
End George Heflin, who grabbed
Paul Yewic's heave in the final
stanza.
The most sensational run of the
day was provided by Thomas, who
took a punt on his own IA and
ran SO to score.
The victory was particularly
sweet for the Spartans, who were
upset last week by Maryland, 34-
7. Coach Biggie Mum grabbed the
opportunity to try out some OF
his sophomores in preparation for

nected with End Ed Butler for a
40-yard touchdown pass in the
final 10 seconds today to give un-
defeated Wake Forest a 1877 upset
victory over North Carolina.
Wake Forests winning touch
down came with dramatic sudden
ness shortly after the Deacons had
stopped a North Carolina drive
inside their one-yard line.
The jubilant Deacons who had
seen victory snatched from i'm
pending defeat so suddenly, carried
their coach, D. c. Peahead
Walker, from the field.
Wake Forest students ripped
down the North Carolina goal post
and engaged in a general melee
with North Carolina students as
they celebrated their first victory
over the Tar Heels since their
1877 upset of 1947.
Victory Was Within Grasp.
North Carolina appeared to
have victory within it's grasp as
the fourth quarter minutes clicked
off. The Tar Heels drove from the
Deacon 38 for first down on the
Wake Forest 7 with Tailback Dick
Bunting passing and Fullback
Dick Wiess ramming the line.
On fourth down, Bunting was
thrown short Of the goal and
fumbled. Tackle Jim Station re-
covered on the one. Halfback
Guido Scarton led as the Deacons
drove out to be stopped, on the
North Carolina a..
As North Carolina strove des-
perately to score. there came the
break that turned the tide. A
pass by Fullback Billy Hayes was
intercepted by Soph Halfback
Larry Spencer on the North Caro-
lima 10.
On the next play Davis, a sec
ond string quarterback. faded to
pass. He looped the ball to Butler
who snatched the ball on the five
and scampered over.
Wake Forest had spotted the
Tar Heels a one touchdown ad-
vantage in the first quarter.
Hayes, from his own 48, whipped
a pass to Tailback Bud Wallace
who had raced behind the Wake
Forest secondary. Wallace grabbed
the ball on the 16 and ran for
the score.
Count Tied In Third.
The Deacons tied the count in
the third period. A quick kick by
Fullback Luther King sailed far
over the North Carolina safety
man to the Tar Heel 13. After the
kickout Wake Forest had the ball
on the North Carolina 26.
Kisseu's first place kick try was
good. but he failed on the second.
Lewis, End Ed Mcclure, Tackle
Ed Listopad and Center Bob
Gaona were outstanding in the
Wake Forest line that kept the
North Carolina offense under con-
troll most of the time.
North Carolina's ine-backing

By GEORGE Huber

Neither team was happy after
yesterdays Maryland Georgetown
game in Griffith Stadium.
The Terrapins were glum in
their dressing room with none of
the back-slapping that usually
goes with a victory. they appar-
entity thought they hadn't played
their best football all the way
although they won. 25-14.
Georgetown players were sad
over losing their homecoming
game and, although they were
badly beaten in the statistics, they
said they thought they had played
a pretty even game against the
Old Liners. The Hoyas wouldn't
go for any moral victory talk after
having lost by II points to team
favored by more than twice that
much.
toeMaryland is a great team and
I think we gave them q real
game" said Coach Bob Margarita
of Georgetown. Il thought for
awhile we were going to take them,
but those two safeties and a
couple of bad penalties really
hurt U.S."
Jim Tatum. Maryland coach.
had some good words for George
town.
Georgetown played fine game
as I knew it would" he said. Il
had a great deal Of respect for
them before the game and I have
more now. Georgetown is going
to be mighty tough for the rest
of the way and I know those
scouts from other teams that were
here today have plenty to worry
about"
Tatum Immediately started look
ing forward to the next game.
His players hardly had taken off
their helmets before he told them
about a meeting at 7 o'clock to-
night TO look over movies and
start work for North Carolina
State.
You think you had a tough one
today and you did, but State
always plays its best against
Maryland. Regardless of their
record they will lick us unless
we're ready" Tatum told the
players.
Maryland apparently had greater
respect for Georgetown than for
Michigan State the week before
and with good reason as the
final score showed. Last week
after the Spartans scored, Mary
land elected to kick off to them
instead of receiving as usual. But
yesterday the Terrapins chose to
receive after Georgetown's score.
1t is difficult to assign a reason
for the small attendance of 1859.
1t was Georgetown's homecoming
and the first chance for Maryland
rooters to see their team in action
since it climbed to No. in last
weeks Associated Press poll.
