ball team and I want him back"
declared Dan Jessee, who only
last Saturday celebrated his
Tooth victory as Trinity's head
coach, a job he's held since 1882.
Eventually a telephone call
from Moose Krause, Notre Dame
athletic director, to Jessee, as
Sured him he could have Sticka
back as far as Notre Dame was
concerned. The whole thing was
a misunderstanding all around,
Krause said, pointing out that
Notre Dame has a rule against
playing transfers, and that even
if Sticka remained in South
Bend he couldn't play football.
Sticka came back. and Trinity
is mighty glad he did.
In IA games last year and
this, the quarterback has called
Sticka's number 240 times. The
result has been a total gain of
1,450 yards-well over three
quarters of a mile-for an aver
age of a shade over yards per
carry. He has carried over the
goal line % times for 148 points.
Two conversions make his total
an even $50.
In a football uniform, Sticka
looks like just another fullback
named Charlie-200 pounds, s.
feet-11, and, to complete the
stastics, 81 years old. You have
to watch him awhile to appre-
ciate his immense value to the
team. Trinity, at least in mod
ern times. never has had a back
so apt at picking up that vital
4 or S yards, when needed, with
q crunching smash into the line.
He's tops. too. as a blocker
and tackler. and he does at least.
half of Trinity's punting.
Jessee makes no secret Of the
esteem in which he holds his
star fullback, who's also a better
than average student and pop
ular campus personality. Sticka.
Jessee says, could make any team
in the country, even the top ones
like UCLA or Oklahoma.

Tom McLuckie, a guard who
almost went to a Big Ten school
and who married the date his
buddy brought to last years
victory banquet-now is rated the
most consistent, the most valu-
able, and the most underrated
lineman at the University Of
Maryland.
Coach Jim Tatum. who drops
the first sc" in Toms name and
always calls him 'M'Luckie," said
yesterday that he hadn't seen a
better defensive lineman this
season. He makes more plays
after he's knocked down than
most Ineman do on their feet, /"
Jim added
Bob Ward, who stands for lit
tie short of perfection from the
Terp guards, is a great McLuckie
booster. There's mutual admi-
ration there, because McLuckie
doesn't believe he would have
amounted TO much as a football
player without Wards plugging.
Tom has found a home at
center guard on Defense" Ward
said, land he's learned his Of
fensive assignments now so that
I can forget about him. I know
he's going to do what he's sup
posed to-"
Grew Up in Michigan.
McLuckie was born in Cum
berland but his family moved to
Midland, Mich, when Tom was
9 years old. He played high
school ball there and had schol-
arship offers from two Big Ten
schools, but decided to think
them over while working for his
brother-in in Cumberland
during the summer.
Meanwhile, the brother-in-
law, Maryland football fan
because it was a State school,
had contacted Tatum and asked
him to meet Tom. They met.
Tatum liked him, and after Jim
saw movies of McLuckie play
ing high school ball, a scholar
ship was arranged.
Tom played center his fresh
man year at Maryland, and as a
sophomore played defensive
tackle behind Bob Morgan. He
moved to guard in his junior
year, had some early troubles
with offensive assignments, but
developed into a real good
player.
After Maryland beat Alabama
to complete a perfect season last
year, the team was toasted at
a victory banquet at the Shore
ham Hotel. Bob Pellegrini, who
plays the guard position oppo-
site McLuckie, had a blind date
with a cute girl from Cumber-
land.
The guards were all at the
same table. and of course, Nc
Luckie and Betty Jean, Pelle-
grini's date, learned both were
from Cumberland. Tom dated
her the next time he was home,
and married her July "a, his
22d birthday.
Quick in Movements.
McLuckie is as quick on a
football field as he is at romance
quick in movements, although
he's not particularly fast.
In fact. if Tom had a bit more
speed he might have scored the
only touchdown of his college
career against South Carolina,
He picked off a loose ball that a
South Carolina ball carrier bob
bled and was touchdown bound
from about 10 yards away. but
somebody bumped him out Of
bounds about midfield.
He was asked If that touch
down would have been his big
gest football thrill. mo-" he

replied. "that came last year
when we beat Mississippi and
Alabama in a row after they
had beaten us the year before.
I liked that"
Tom thinks the Terps will go
the rest of the way. 1--WE were
a little mixed up there for a
while-needed somebody to take
over. We're all right now"
Ward will tell you that Nc
Luckie is one of the guys who
took over-rnaybe the big one.

will be relatively stable. No strongly
inflationary or deflationary tendency is
evident.
4. Consumption of potatoes per per-
son, after trending down sharply 40
years, has levelled off at little over
100 pounds in the last five or six years.
If it stabilizes here, the growth in
population will increase consumption
by about II per cent a year or close
to four million bushels annually.
5. Competition from sweet potatoes
will be light. The sweet potato crop is
about five million bushels less than
in 1858 and 81 million bushels below av-
erage. Fewer may go to professors,
however, so that the supply for table
use may be down less than the total
crop.
6. Potato imports may be less. Can
adas crop is Is per cent smaller than
last year. About three million bushels
of table and seed stock came in from
GdIdud Ill IIlG PAST SSdSOu.
z. The amount growers will store and
carry into 1855 is a big factor in the
price outlook, especially after mid
winter. Capacity of potato storehouses
on farms and at shipping points was
greatly increased during the last ten
or twelve years. Hence, growers and
dealers in or near producing areas
have been storing a larger proportion
of the crop than in former years. How
ever, the tendency is to hold after JAN
uary smaller proportion of small
crop than of a large one.
8. Late winter and early spring prices
will depend not only on the amount of
old potatoes left at that time but on
the size of the early 1855 crop. Acreage
for the Florida and Texas winter crop
promises to be to per cent less than
last winter when prices were low. How
ever, the 1854 spring crop brought
good returns, since prices improved
substantially after the government be-
gan in March to substitute diversion
to starch and flour plants and to buy
for welfare agencies.
The average price paid to farmers
jumped from $50 cents a bushel or
March Is to 70.2 cents on April Is and
to $1.S4 on May Is. Hence, growers
may step up acreage for the spring
crop for 1855.
Under the new farm regulations
farmers who want to qualify for wheat
corn or cotton loans must not harves
greater potato acreage than theil
average planting in 1852 and 1858. How
ever, that limitation does not seen
likely to prevent some increase il
early acreage for next year.
9. Market supplies of potatoes il
early fall are running quite heavy
Harvest of the late crop is in full swing
and the usual pressure to sell part o
the crop is on. Doubtful storing qualit!
also is causing some selling. Price
have declined under this pressure.
Obviously, the more potatoes soil
during the fall and the lower prices ar
at this time, the better the chance
will be for sizable rise in prices for tn
potatoes held for later markets.
In the last 20 seasons, prices re
ceived by farmers for potatoes average
lowest in October. The advance to tn

Thieves Break Into Safe
In Rowland Company Store

To get into the safe the yeggs
used sledge hammer to knock
OH the combination, however this
did not let them into the cash COM
partments. They then proceeded to
knock out six inches of concrete
IN order to get to the hinges on
the doors of the cash box. Next
they chiseled off all the rivots
holding on the hinges of the doors
and thereby gain e d entrance to
the money and securities.
1t was estimated that it must
have taken the burglars two hours
or longer to complete the Job.
Several homes are just across the
street from the store, but no one
h a d any out of the ordinary
noises, 1t was said.
Officers from the Prison Farm
Bureau of Identification who as
sisted the sheriffs office in the in
vestigation were unable to secure
any finger prints and stated the
yeggs had worn gloves. They were
unable to obtain any clues which
would aid in tracking down the
thieves and they differed in their
opinions as to whether or not the
job was done by professional or
home talent.

of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis c. Huston,
received his premedical training at
Ohio Wesleyan University and
will enter the University of Gin.
cinnati College of Medicine this
Fall.
Active in All Club, Scouting and
the youth work of his local Metho-
dist Church, Huston was highly
praised by Millersburg organiza-
tions and individuals for his COM
munity activities and leadership.
In addition, he was able to earn
about half of his premedical col
leges expenses. In 1858, he receiv-
ed the Edward L. Rice Zoology
Scholarship at Ohio Wesleyan for
special studies in that field.
The medical scholarship plan
was instituted five years ago by
Ohio doctors of medicine to stim-
ulate the interest of rural young
men and women in the study of
medicine and to encourage them
to become. country doctors.
Administered by the Committee
on Rural Health of the Ohio
