Tigers Prepare For Oct. 10
Meeting With Fl. Pierce Team

The Douglass High Tigers have
had two SetbackS in the not very
old pig skin season. However the
boys in Green and White must
pick themselves up off the turf for
their next encounter. There is de-
termination in the eyes of the lads
as they promise to live up to their
preseason billing.
Coach Charlie Whites charges
will have to be "up" for the Grey
hounds of Lincoln Park Academy
of Fort Pierce. The Tiger mentor
realizes that on the night of Octo-
Der 16, he will meet, without a
doubt, one of the outstanding prep
teams of the Gold Coast.
The Douglass team is recovering
from the bruiSing encounter with
Plant City. There were few severe
injuries in this conflict. There was
one costly casualty, Joseph Kee.
Shifty halfback is out with bruises
about the face. He is a doubtful
starter in the Fort Pierce game.

/ Unless an unexpected disaster
overcomes Oklahoma, the Sooners
should win the mythical national
college football championship this
year.
With only three weeks of the
season gone, time probably has
run out on Notre Dame. The one
defeat the Irish suffered at the
hands of Purdue probably will de-
prive young Terry Brennan of a
title in his first year as a head
coach.
Oklahoma already is over the

ule, and, although Bud Wilkinson's

which fell before the Sooners 14-7
last Saturday.
Oklahoma still has Kansas, Kan
saS, Kansas State, Colorado, Iowa
State, Missouri, Nebraska and
Oklahoma Ann on its schedule.
Some of these certainly are not
pushovers, and that great equal
izer, the one-platoon system, could
work against any club.
But if the Sooners can lick an
outfit like Texas without the aid of
Gene Calame, they ought to be
able to take anyone else with him.
He probably will be back against
Kansas.
Jim Harris took over for Ca
lame and the sophomore substitute
made his gloomy coaches eyes
light up. Harris passing was
revelation and hell be heard from
in the future.
The rest of the Notre Dame
schedule is loaded with BOBBY
traps and the only hope the Irish
have of coming out on top as the
experts predicted in the preseason
Associated Press poll is to sail
through their opposition and for
the SOoners to be upended at least
once.
Notre Dame was impressive in
its $50 victory over Pitt. The vic
tory showed that Brennan and his
crew were capable of rebounding
after a humiliation. That's "a good
sign, but the Irish still have to
tackle Michigan State and Navy
in the next two weeks.
At the moment, UCLA and Wis
consin are oklahoma's chief rivals
for national honors. But even their
position is precarious. The Ulcans
barely got past Washington, 21-20,
and Wisconsin had considerable
trouble boating Rice 1877.
Both UCLA and Wisconsin stay
IN their own leagues for the rest
of the campaign. The Ulcans have
five more Pacific Coast Conference
games left, starting with Stanford,

All in all the Tigers will be
ready for the highly touted Grey
hounds of Fort Pierce. Coach
White is working his forward wall
overtime on tackling and blocking
for the October 16 conflict.
The Tigers can really establish
themselves in gridiron circles by a
victory over the Fort Pierce out
fit. Tn should be the clash to
shake the jinx which has been

how Douglass stacks up against
one of the top teams of the state.

WAUKESHA, Wis. - 'The ball, I"
said the field announcer at a foot
ball game here, sis on the 23-yard
line"
He wasn't guessing, because at
Haertel Field, where Carroll Col
lege and Waukesha High School
play their home games, there are
lines every yard instead of just at
the usual five~yard intervals. The
idea was that of John Lockney, a
Waukesha football fan who. got tir-
ed of listening to announcers' esti-
mates. His plan, in use here at
all games, has earned unanimous
praise.
To mark the lines, Lockney uses
a five-yard metal plate with Sits
one-yard apart. His marks do not
run clear across the playing field.

of the campaign Saturday
when they pounded out an

It marked the second

Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE tai BOT

NEW YORK R-Sugar Ray Rob-
inSon, who retired as middleweight
champion nearly two years ago to
launch a new career as tap
dancer, has announced that he will
gradually begin training today with
view to taking up his old trade
again. Says that, despite all his
real estate holdings in Harlem, he
finds himself short of spending
money.
If it were anybody except the
"a year old Sugar Boy talking,
this would be the most exciting
pugilistic news of the week. A
match between him and the cur
rent 16O-pound king, Bobo Olson,
still would draw well into six fig
ures. But it was never possible to
know whether this great ring ar
fist was talking straight or just
talking, and it isn't now.
Up to within a few days of his
retirement, Robinson continued to
insist that he intended to defend
his title against Randy Turpin of
England. And all the time he was
rehearsing diligently for his stage
debut. The promoting IBC, there
fore, is cycling the present "come-
back" very warily lest it find it.
self suckered into giving Ray some
needed publicity for his stage eff
forts.
The feeling here was that some
thing broke in Robinson on that
terribly hot night two summers
ago when Joey Maxim, the then
light heavyweight champion, beat
him into babbling wreck. We
felt then that he would not enter
the ring again, that he had taken
the only bad beating he intended
ever to take. It still goes.
Another former fighter turned
thespian, Lou Nova, has been in
our midst lately between night club
engagements, and he's still as full
of ideas he was a dozen years ago
when he was inventing his famous
"cosmic" punch. LOUIS latest OBJ
session is that boxers should do
all their prefight training after
dark.
"They fight after dark, don't
they?" demanded the former
heavyweight contender.

Farm Census For
81 Now Complete

Mr.. Royal V. Crist today per-
forms his final act as field sup
ervisor for the 1854 Census of
Agriculture by closing down the
temporary office which was estab-
liShed at $40 Hooven Ave, Hamil-
ton, Ohio for taking the census.
Farm census questionnaires col
lected locally are being shipped
to Census headquarters for editing
and tabulating. The results, when
published, will present figures for
counties, states, regions and the
United States. The first of the pre-
liminary reports covering each OF
the Nations 3,O68 counties is ex-
pected to be published early next
year.
In a final statement, the super
visor expressed his appreciation
for the splendid cooperation" he
and his enumerators received from
farmers in the twenty counties in
which he conducted the census.
This cooperation, he added, "en-
abled us to complete this impor-
tant inventory of our agricultural
resources quickly and efficiently" "

segments of the industry itself -
shows that under present circum-
stances the control measure would
not be likely to accomplish the
results for which it was intended.
With other controls relaxed, there
is greater opportunity to grow diff
ferent crops and less pressure to
plant vegetables and potatoes on
diverted acres.
by far the greater proportion
of our commercial vegetables and
potatoes are grown in areas where
there are few allotment crops, and
therefore few diverted acres. The
proposed limitation would not be
effective in these areas, leaving a
spotted control situation in limited
regions. Further, a check shows
that vegetable and potato acreages
were not increased in 1854, even
though there was no limitation
then on use of around 25 million
diverted acres.
"An important consideration,
though not the major one in the
decision to remove croSS-compli-
ance and vegetable limitation con-
trolls, is the fact that these pro-
grams would both be both diff
cult and costly to administer. It
has been estimated that the ad-
miniStrative costs would have run
to around three million dollars.
With the actions announced to-
day we are moving in the right
direction - and in line with the
principles of greater fleXibility and
freedom adopted by Congress in
the Agricultural Act of 1854. Also,
our stepped up emphasis on mar
keting is opening additional out
lets for American farm products,
both at home and abroad. AS we
adjust price supports realistically,
we can relax controls. The devel-
oping situation made it possible
for us to take a major step toward
the achievement of these object
ives.
In know that farmers will use
their increase opportunities wise
ly, using many of the acres they
divert from basic crops to produce
the roughage needed in balanc-
ing livestock rations and to carry
out sound conservation practices.
The Department of Agriculture,
through its various land-use pro-
grams, including the Agricultural
Conservation Program, is assist
ing producers in the vital job of
handling their diverted acres so
that they will be ready in the fu-
ture to meet the increased food
and fiber needs of a steadily grow
ing population"

FORT BENNING, Ga. - United

the latchstring out to cement in
ternational friendships formed
with participants in the Allied
Student Training program here.
Last year approximately 700 Of
ficers from % nations got a first
hand, intimate look at American
way of life by accepting invitations
toh ONES of Infantry Center Off

The Army officers sponsor the
Allied students in classroom work
and other phases of training and
in social contacts. An understand
ing of our customs and habits is
the primary goal.
The student population at one
time usually is about 300, repre-
senting some two dozen nations.
This unofficial but pleasant part
of the curriculum has received
warm response from the Allied Of
ficers who have benefited both
from the sponsoring and from
their own initiative in learning
more about America.
