ton director of the strife-torn

NeU Pro League
Could Mean NelD
Chance for Dob

Founding of the new American
pro football league has put new
ray Of light into the complicated
pro football picture of Ebert Du-
benion.
Based ON two big ifs, Dob may
yet realize his ambition of play
ing on pro football.
The first if, of course, is the
condition of the leg which was
badly injured in workouts for the
Al-Star game in Chicago last
summer.
Second if involves the COM
plicated contract problems which
grew last season after he signed
with one Canadian club and was
then drafted by the Cleveland
Browns. Presently free of his Ca
madam obligation, he may get
shot at making the Browns if
his leg is in shape.
Emergence of the new pro
league will mean many more
jobs for many more men. Some
of them will probably come from
the established NFL, others will
be recent college graduates but
the league probably will be alert
for any sleepers like Dubenion to
fill its ranks.
One good guess might have
him going to the newy founded
Buffalo Bills. Their new general
manager is Dick Gallagher, for
years the head scout for Cleve-
land. Gallagher has been a boost
er of Dubenion from the start and
could be attracted to the idea of
giving the former Bluffton col
lege flash his chance at pro ball.

Speedy Cars Being
Watched In Farmville

A close watch will be kept on
Buffalo Street and High Street for
speeding automobiles, Police Chief
Otto S. Overton warned this morn
ing. I'VE have received a number
OF complaints about speeding cars
in those two areas" he said, land
we will concentrate on catching
any offenders. Chief Overton
added that there will be no warn
lngs issued. but every car exceed
ing the speed limit will be given
a ticket.
In addition to increasing the pa
troll in the area. Overton said the
electric speed timer will be used
extensively in both areas.
Residents in the Buffalo Street
vicinity presented a petition to the
town council last week asking that
study be made of the intersec-
ton of Buffalo and St. George
Streets. Increased parking in the
area, and reduced visibility make
that hazardous intersection. There
are also large number Of small
children living in the blocks ada
cent. which makes speeding very
dangerous.
