 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

I have just received a pamph-
 let from the U. s. Department of
 Agriculture on the subject ot
 Strengthening Agriculture Thro- ugh Conservation of Our Resour- | ceS.
 Farming is basic to our whole
 economy. Farmers both here and
 in the States sometimes feel like
 stepchildren in our pattern of
 things, but as farming goes, so
 goes the nation.
 There is always a continual
 pressure on our farmland. The department estimates that we will need the production equival- ent of 115 million more acres by
 1875 to keep up with our grow ing population. Alaska is our last frontier in the development of new land. We are a long way short of meeting the potential de mand. A large part of this future demand must be met by increas- ed production per acre. The best farmers in the country produce almost double the amount of pro- duce per acre that the average does. One of the jobs for all of us is to narrow that gap.
 To build up and maintain high production of our soil takes good farming methods. That is what I consider conservation farming. The basic concepts of good con- servation farming are simple. First, protection from erosion through windbreaks, snow ridg- ing. trashy type tillage, strip cropping, etc. The second point is fertilization. Barnyard manure, commercial fertilizers and green manures, all are good, have their place and must be used. The third point is the returning to the soil sufficient humus to keep our soils tillable, able to hold moisture and fertility, and also resistant to erosion. Green man. ures, mulch type t111age and rota- tions that include grasses do the job here. The last point is proper harvesting. Whether you let the cows harvest grass by grazing, or cut it for hay or silage, proper harvest methods will put that crop where it belongs-in your oocketbook as money, and not scattered throughout the field.
 Proper soil management or con- 'ervation methods will grow you larger, more saleable crop

PALMER FIVE TRIM ANCHORAGE EAGLES: TAKE FIRST PLACE IN CONFERENCE

For the first time in quite {;
 while, Coach Bob Crites' basket
 ball team last week put the Higf
 School in first place in the Rail belt Conference by defeating the
 Anchorage Eagles, 55 to AT or the Palmer court. This was the second of four scheduled games between the two schools and avenged a defeat by the Anchor age players in their first meet.
 The Palmer players have been dubbed the Five Iron Men" for playing the entire game without a substitution. Anchorage Eagles Coach Bud Ottmar used II men trying to stop the Palmer SCOT ing but outside of a four point lead at the end of the first quar- ter, the visitors found themselves on the short end of the score at the end of each quarter.
 The game opened with a basket 'by Winegarner shortly after the first horn. The fast pace was fol lowed by Anchorage with for ward Frank Putzel dropping five through the hoop in rapid success sion. However, this was the last of Putzel's threat to Palmer's ultimate win for he was not giv- en an opportunity to get into scoring position again. Palmer's high quarter came in the second when a total of 20 points was run up while Anchorage was suc- cessful in getting only seven. Nine of the Palmer points were garnered by Ben Ross, Moose foreward. During the third quar- ter, which was slowed down by frequent fouling from both teams, Palmer tallied 13 points to Anch- orage's nine. Although the Eagles made a last-ditch spurt during the final quarter, the Palmer hoopsters added 12 more points to their total, taking the game 55 to AT. High man for the Pal n1er team was Fred Wilkes, | guard, with IF points, followed | by Don Ingalls, with 12. Putzel | and Cannon of the visiting team were high for the Eagles with 10 points apiece.
 Both Palmer and Anchorage will lay-off during the school va cation, meeting in their third game on January 23 at the Pal mer High School. Unscheduled games with Army teams are ex- pected to be played by the local team before their next Railbelt game.

W&M Football Drills
Today 10 Show Scope
OF Cribbing Scandal
speeiaI Disposeh 70 he ssur 3

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Feb. 16,
Sports writer's covering the
start of spring football practice
at william and Mary College to-
day were prepared to count noses
in an effort to determine how
many players may be involved in
the current cribbing scandal.
(The Associated Press said
it had learned approximately
80 students, including some
athletes. are involved. A source
close to the college told q re-
porter the students involved
had either quit school or been
suspended after an honor
council meeting last week end.
Some were suspended for fall
ure to report an honor code
violation.J
Earlier reports indicated the
squad might lose all but % play
ers, but later it was indicated
only six were involved. Il Is the
second major sports scandal at
the 260-year-old school In less
than two years.
The situation, first reported
late last week, came to q head
yesterday when four members Of
the Indians varsity basketball
squad played with an independ-
ent team, the Buddy's All-Stars
OF Williamsburg, against the
Dixie Containers at Richmond.
The four were Dave Berry. Ducky
Drake. Joe Hume and Dick Saw
age. Only Drake had been reg
ular for william and Mary.
It was learned today that the
four will not play when Mary
land visits William and Mary
for q game tomorrow.
It also was reported today that
five members of the basketball
team had applied for admission
to other colleges. The five were
not identified, and the names of
the colleges they apparently
hoped to enter were not men,
toned.
Cribbing Involved.
It was reported last week that
both basketball and football
players were involved in a crib
bing scandal in an ROTC exam
ination given last month. The
athletes were said to have OBJ
tanned answer sheets to the re-
serve officers training exam and
to have given the information
to more than q score Of fellow
athletes. The report was neither
confirmed nor denied by the
school, and it was not indicated
whether the four who played
basketball yesterday were in
volved.
The wholesale loss of football
players, If correct, would wreck
the Indians hopes for a win
ming eleven in 1858. Only ~
men were listed on last years
grid brochure. William and
Mary won four games and lost
five last season.
Despite conjecture aroused by
the William and Mary athletes
appearance at Richmond, which
automatically bars them from
future college competition under
Southern Conference rules, Rear
Admiral Alvin D. Chandler,
william and Mary president, re-
fused to make any public state
ment concerning the case.
Disciplinary matters that af-
feet boys are not discussed in
public" the admiral declared.
He indicated there would be
no further statements from him
or any other school official about
the disposition Of the matter.
Only One Regular.
