MIAMI, Fla. Dec. 10.-Sam
Snead,- favorite In the Miami
Open Golf tournament and tied
for second at the start of today's
second round, withdrew this
morning because of his ailing
back. ~
Snead, who carded 3-under-
par ST yesterday. came to the
course today but told Ray
OBrien, PGA tournament direc-
tor, that he could not play. When
called to tee off at 9:55 am, the
pro had left the grounds.
It was reported he was headed
for a doctors Office.
julius Boros led the field of
161 players as play went into the
second round. The 35-year-old
pro from Mid Pines, N. c., paced
yesterdays opening round with
a 4-under-par 66.
Tied with Snead one stroke
back were Ted Kroll of New
Hartford, N. Y, and Joe Brown
of West Des Moines, Iowa.
An accident last week with a
shotgun almost prevented Boros,
1852 National Open champion,
from competing in the $4,000
tournament at the. par 35-35-
10 Miami Springs course.
The weapon discharged pre-
maturely and the recoil caused
a nasty. cut at the base Of his
right thumb. Boros had the
four stitches removed yesterday
morning and shot his way into
the lead. He wasn't troubled by

ColonioIs in Steel Bowl;
MARYLAND Defenses Tested

The Wake Forest team which
gave George Washington a l07-
86 trimming last week runs into
Maryland's tighter defenses at
College Park tonight in one of
the pref Christmas features of the
Atlantic Coast Conference. Game
time is 8 o'clock. with a freshman
preliminary at 6.
This is the only game here Of
four involving Washington-area
teams. CIV is playing in the
Steel Bowl tournament at Pitts
burgh tonight. taking on Pitt as
its first-round opponent. while
Wilson Teachers will play Dam
bury (Conn) State Teachers to-
night at Danbury, and Howard
will be at Virginia State. Wilson
plays at New Haven Teachers
tomorrow.
In the only game played last
night. American University
dropped its fifth straight, 97-8I,
to Mount st. Mary's.
Deacons Beaten by N. C. State.
Maryland already has taken
care of one good ACC team with
a 49-47 decision over Duke. Wake
Forest lost to always-powerful
North Carolina State, 10o-8I,
the same night for q IL record.
Wake Forest, which twice beat
Maryland last season, once dur
Ing the regular round robin and
again in the semiflnals of the
ACC tournament, again has
Dickie Hemric as its All-Amer-
lea candidate. He's a 6-foot-6
star who plays we'll off the back
boards and averaged 24.3 points
a game last season. An able
helper Is Lefty Davis.
Maryland, of course, is noted
for what its opponents call
showdown" basketball, but Coach
Bud Millikan prefers to refer
to 1t as defensive basketball. It's
unlikely that even a team of
Wake Forests scoring potential
will do better than so or 10
points against the Terps to-
night.

While the mild weather was

Without doubt, Miami reached
its peak in its last game against

HOWDY FOLKS,

Experts say you learn through
repetition. Even heard that if you
expect someone to learn a certain
thing, you must repeat it % times.
Well, I'm not going to do that, but
I believe we should do a little re-
viewing.
How well are you acquainted with
the Montana State Soil Conserva-
ton District Law" It's important
to you, so let's take look.
This law was passed by the 26th
General Assembly and approved by
Governor Roy E. Ayers Feb. %,
1889. The bill was entitled in part
as can act to declare the necessity
of creating governmental subdivi-
Sions of the state to be known as
Soil Conservation Districts" such
districts to engage in conserving
soil resources and preventing and
controlling soil erosion.
The law further states, ''The farm
and grazing lands of the state are
among the basic assets of the state
and the preservation of these lands
is necessary to protect the health,
safety, and general welfare of it's
people"
The law provides for the setting
up of the State Soil Conservation
Committee as well as the creation
of Soil Conservation Districts. The
law states that District Supervisors
must be nominated by petition, such
petitions to be signed by not less
than 10 land occupiers living within
the district.
Very briefly, some of the powers
Of Soil Conservation District are
as follows:
To conduct surveys, investigations
and research relating to soil erosion
and control measures needed; to
conduct Unconstitutional projects; to
enter into agreements with any
agency, governmental or otherwise
in the carrying out of erosion con-
troll operations; the adoption of land
use regulations by referendum and
the power to enforce such land use
regulations.
Looks like quite a job for tbs
Board of Supervisors. Remember
they are donating their time anG

Watch this forage harvester in action and
you'll wonder how such a compact machine
can chop so fast-handle so much. The reason
is that the Dearborn Forage Harvester is
balanced throughout for peak capacity. The
crop flows through smoothly at fast clip as
a result of positive feeding, fast uniform
chOpping and free flow delivery of chopped
material into wagon or truck. You keep
saoUing down heavy windows where other
machines often drag or slug. Yet for all its
capacity, the Dearborn Forage Harvester is
exceptionally light pulling, smooth running,
easy to operate.
Your Choice of PT0 or Engine Drives
Due to its power-saving design, the Dearborn
Forage Harvester can be operated with PTO
drive by many tractors that won't quite handle
ether makes of harvesters. Or, if you prefer,
there is an engine-driven model equipped with
heavy-duty 31-horsepower engine.
Wufeh II Work in Your Own Field
There are many other advantages of the
Dearborn Forage Harvester and the best way
to find out about them is to watch this machine
work ON your own farm. You can arrange

School Board Drops
N Plans, Leaving
Field TO- Rival Group

The Greater Washington Edu-
cational Television Association
now has a clear field in its am
billions to build an educational
video station here.
The Board of Education voted
yesterday to withdraw its appli-
cation for the Districts educa-
tional TV channel, and Martin
A. Mason, association chairman,
said his group will move quickly
to substitute its own application.
The Commissioners practically
killed the school boards plans
by turning down a $400.00 bud
get request. Congress also failed
to grant a similar request last
year. although it was supported
then by the city heads.
Split Vote of 5 to 3. :.
The school board applied to the
Federal communications Com
mission 16 months ago at the
urging of Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier and members of the
FEC. Several board members re-
sisted abandonment Of the prof.
ect yesterday. but they were
voted down 5 to 3.
Walter N. Tobriner, who pro-
posed the board action. voiced
doubt that the television aSSocia-
ton would be able to finance the
station. either. But he said leav-
ing the boards application be-
fore the FEC might impede the
associations effort and he said
the association ought to be given
a chance.
Mr.. Mason. who is dean of
engineering at George Washing
ton University, said his group
will file its application for the
channel as quickly as possible.
The group already had been
planning to file, but it has moved
somewhat slowly in hopes of
avoiding contest with the
school board, he said.
Mason Foresees Money.
Commenting on Mr.. Tobriner's
doubt about the associations
prospects, Mr.. Mason said his
group thinks it can raise enough
money.
The association has announced
a 100000 fund campaign for
April 1t also has an offer Of
Sl50.000 from the Ford Founda-
ton contingent on the associa-
tons ability to raise other
funds.
Public. parochial and private
schools and number of univer-
sites and cultural institutions
are represented on the associa-
tons board of trustees, which
meets next Tuesday. The Board
of Education also has been in
vited to join and this invitation
stands. Mr.. Mason emphasized.
The school board yesterday
postponed action on joining the
TV association.

District public school children
- may get more, instead of less,
physical education.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing suggested this possibility to
the Board of Education yester-
day.
The school board last Novem-
Der asked the superintendent to
re-evaluate the school systems
physical training program and
report back on it. Member Rob-
ert r. Faulkner had suggested
the present senior high five
periods-a-week physical training
schedule might well be cut to
two.
DR.. Corning, passing along a
report from a special committee
that studied the subject, said
yesterday both he and the COM
mittee are against a cutback.
Instead. the superintendent
said the board ought to consider
increasing the amount of physi-
cal training in junior highs and
elementary schools, where there
is less than in senior highs.
Reason Presented.
The senior high physical edu-
cation schedule is divided be-
tween exercise and health and
hygiene classes. The committee
appointed by DR.. Corning to
study the program said it should
be retained for. these reasons:
Physical education was in
creased from two periods to five
in 1913. with a special appropri-
alton from Congress because OF
lack physical fitness found by
the armed services among the
country's youth. and there is
no indication that this legisla-
ton was considered as a temper
airy expedient to be retracted
once the need of the armed
forces lessened."
The 1949 Strayer Report on
the District school system COM
mended the program and urged
It's extension to Junior highs
