"Hansel and Gretel" is the

proximately 100 pages from its Ga
page size were announced recently by
Dean Robert Kreider. Included in the
restyling will be the use of larger
type faces and heavier paper stock.
The catalog will also be enhanced
by the use of a pictorial section de-
scribing the campus and its beauty
spots. Purpose will be to show Bluff

The old catalogue was product of
a wartime economy, according to
Dean fKreider, who added that he
hoped the new book would reflect
the changes in program and curricu-
lum during the past few years"
An open forum discussion was held
recently to give all faculty members
a chance to express their thoughts on
changes which they wish to see made
in the book.

How attention to number of what
seem like minor details of good farm
management add up to considerable
profits during the course of single
year was discussed at last weeks
meeting of the Adult Farmer class in
Bluffton high school. -
Lorain Basinger, vo-ag instructor
and advisor of the Adult Farmer club,
listed number of points in market
ing corn and small grains which adds
net gain of nearly $1,000 for the
farmer who follows them compared
to his more sloven neighbor.
The comparison was made for a
typical 100Sacre farm, and covered all
phases of the farm operation incIud-
ing cultural practices and managerial
practices.

Wallace Tabor, Iglobe-trotting big

this week was scheduled for an ap-

auditorium January 81.
The announcement was made by
Lester Niswander, president of the
sponsoring Blutfton munity Y
Sportsmen's club, who said that the
popular OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
would bring with him pair of his
latest, all-color African films.
1.-THE dark continent was never por-
trayed more wildly than this daring
photographer with truly educated
camera achievese Niswander said.
Repeatedly he puts the audience
within front-roW distance of Africa's
largest and most dangerous big
game. Cape buffalo, hippo and ele-
phant all charge to within FIVE feet of
the cameraman, while half thous-
and lesser denizens of the teeming
veldt perform at little more than
arms length"
among the photographic frsts
racked up by Taber," Mr.. NisNander
reports, "are laughing zebra, byrat-
ing giraffe, blood-letting natives,
charging Cape buffalo, impish hrpalla
and scenery such as few Americans
ever associate with Africa"
Newspapers, radio and TV critics
have praised the colorful, thrilling
programs Taber's program mas been
likened to a hybrid between the dar-
ing Of Martin Johnson classic and
the serene, true-to-life nature series
now being released by Walt Disney.
Just before coming to Blurfton,
Taber will present his program before
large a"o enfes in Toledo and Cleve-

George Klein doesn't have to
score any points.
This 5-foot-10 sophomore from
Long Island who has had expert
teaching in the fundamentals of
basketball is averaging only five
points game for George Wash
ington University.
But don't sell him short.
Though Corky Devlin, with his
80 points, and Joe Holup. with
80, were the spectacular players
in GW's 1864 victory over
Georgetown last night at Uline
Arena, Klein'S contribution did
not go unnoticed.
"He's marvellous" Coach Bill
Reinhart says. "He's just what
we didn't have last year. He
doesn't have to score a point.
The way he handles a ball-he
never throws.it away-his defen-
sive play and his work under the
backboardS are more than
enough. He comes up with more
rebounds than anybody else on
the team except Joe Holup,"
Klein Likes His Role.
And Klein, who maintained
his f1ve-point average last night
likes it that way.
II didn't score much in high
school. either" he says, land
that's fine with me. I'd just as

George Washington High
School today forfeited all its
football victories for 1853 and

Bucket it had won from Wash

straight year.
The action was taken when
school officials learned that Ger
aid McRae, the teams fast
breaking halfback. actually is a
year older than the school record
indicates.
A relative of McRae's. living in
Hopewell, Va, disclosed the dis
crepancy. The relatives identity
was not revealed. but the fact
that the Presidents beat Hope
well, 1877. may have prompted
the action.
McRae had been listed for sew
eral years on Alexandria school
records as having been born on
October 3. 1884. Actually he was
born one year earlier. Virginia
High School League eligibility
rules state that a player must not
have reached his 10Th birthday
before March l preceding the
season in question. McRae was

A. B. (Rasty) Doran, CIV
athletic director. said the school
hoped the incident would not
cause an end to relations with
any of our friendly rivals and
we forfeit the right to all tro-
phies and games played by us

served: This gives us big lift"
The 26-year-old Texan, who
stands 6-feet-4 and weighs 230
pounds, mailed his contract from
the Ell Toro Marine Base at San
Diego, Calf.
Goode played with the Red
skins IN 1949-50-51 and led them
in ground gaining in his last two
seasons. In 1851 he established
club record for yards in a sin
gle season-951-and in 1850
made the longest run from scrim-
mage ever recorded by a Red
skin-80 yards against the Green
Bay Packers.
Just Missed Top HOnOrs.
Goode came within a few
strides of winning the National
Football League championship in

was nosed out by Eddie Price,
fullback of the New York Giants.
Price picked up 965 yards. ii

In 81 games Farkas gained 1866
yards in $50 carries for an aver
