Ohio Conservation
Laboratory In Summer

Three-way cooperation is invol-
we'd in the Ohio Conservation Lab
oratory scheduled for June 81 to
July % at Camp Muskingum on
Leesville Lake in Carroll County,
Ohio The sponsors include the
State Department of Education, the
Division of Wildlife, Ohio Depart
ment of Natural Resources, and
the Colleges of Education of the
State Universities in Ohio.
This fifteenth session of the Ohio
Conservation Laboratory is con-
Quoted for the benefit of teachers,
youth leaders, club workers and
others who wish to prepare them
selves to do better work in con-
servation education. Some full
scholarships are available to in-ser-
vice teachers.
DR.. Clyde Hissong, state direct
or of education, said that the pro-
gram was in charge of five per-
sons, each of whom has special
lied in one or more phases of
conservation. All have had teach
ing experience, most of them have
taught in public schools as well as
in college and three are special
lists in conservation education. Sew
eral conservation specialists also
contribute to the program as re-
sourse persons.
"The location, said DR.. His
song, provides an ideal setting as
well as abundant opportunity to
study conservation problems in the
field as well as in the classroom.
The varied topography, the wide
spread use of conservation prac-
tees in the vicinity, and the fact
that the camp is closed to the
heart of the Muskingum Water
shed Consevancy District make
this an especially desirable loca-
ton for studying conservation in
the field"

will be inexpensive, making use
when possible of youth hostels.
Meals-breakfast and lunch-will
be light, thereby enabling them to
do a little splurging on dinners,
says Mrs. Naylor. They expect to
live on $40 per day.
AS for clothing-two saddlebags
per person won't permit much-so
four changes of clothing will be
the maximum. And we're hoping
we won't need too heavy a cloth

This is the second trip abroad

BIGGEST Little Man Lou Ever Coached
Minihon, Who Surprised Coach
AS FootboIler, Now a Bishop
By Rod Thomos

On a September day in 1924.
Lou Little. the old Penn tackle.
took charge of Georgetown Uni
versity football. In a reception
at the University Club. he met
his prospective players. Among
them was one jeremiah Mini
han, center, from Haverhill.
Mass.
Little eyed Minihan thought
fully. if not glumly.
A few moments later he was
telling a friend: 81 see I'll have
to find a center. That boy is too
small"
Now, 80 years later. Little
says: Never in my life was I
more mistaken in a football
player"
In a letter to the writer from
his summer home at Osterville.
Mass. Little observes: without
a doubt, Jerry Minihan was the
biggest little man I ever
coached"
One of Many Tributes.
1t was quite a compliment
considering that Little. who is
rounding out a quarter century
of coaching at Columbia Uni
versity. has tutored thousands
of football players, including not
a few understood ones who
earned distinction.
The tribute was one of many
now being paid to Monsignor
jeremiah F. Minihan. 81, who
has just been appointed Auxil-
larry Bishop of Boston. They
include anecdotes about his Wig
orous personality. strong sense
of humor, tact and humility.
AS a football player. Jerry
Minihan weighed only 15C
pounds. according to Jack Hag-
erty, now the Georgetown ath-
letic director who was a team
mate of Jerry's and graduated
with him in 1925.
HE was a happy-go-lucky
Irishman and everybody was
fond of him." Hagerty said yes
terday, "but you've never seen q
more intense competitor. A good
example was his performance
against Penn in 1924. Penn haC
played seven teams before
Georgetown and scored at least
one touchdown against each
The Georgetown players were
anxious to make a good showing
for Lou Little. It was his first
game as a coach against his
