1868 Golden GOphers Unvell
The 1868 version of the Golden
Gophers unveiled a sparkling array
of fine sophomore talent last Sat
urday at the finale of the spring
training session. This promising
sophomore talent coupled with the
few veterans should give loyal fans
something to cheer about next
football season. Murray Warmath's
battlers may not win the Confer
ence Championship in 1868 but If
the spring finale is any indication
of the strength of future clubs.
local fans can look with great
promise to the next three years.
Eleven Tan Lads Battle For Places
Eleven young fellows of color
will be battling to give Minnesota
its share of victories in the tough
big 10". Saturday afternoon the
Maroon team or first team opened
with big Carl Eller at right tackle.
little Bill Crockett at left half and
speedy Jay Sharp at fullback, all
three gave notice they mean to
play football this fall. The White
or second team countered with
sophomore Aaron Brown, of Port
Arthur, Texas at left end. This
fine end brought the surprisingly
large crowd TO its feet with his
sparkling grab Of a pass and run
Of 35 yards for a touchdown. The
6-3 inch 220 pound end handles
himself very we'll for a first year
man.
Others who showed promise were
Fred Farthing, speedy hard run
ming back from Omaha, Nebraska.
Fred was on the end of 35 yard
pass also. Andre Haines, a fine
looking sophomore quarterback
from New Orleans, showed class
on defense. Randolph Staten, an
aggressive POI pound guard from
Charlotte, North Carolina, looks
like a conner as line hacker, and
Albert Harris from Port Arthur,
Texas. Harris will be the fastest
man on the varsity next season.
Three others, two of them from
the Metropolitan area did not get
a chance to show their stuff but
played. They were Archie Givens,
Jr., a speedster from Minneapolis
Central, and Melvin Henderson,

ton Of Thurmond led to consider
able speculation. 1t had been ex-
pected that San Francisco would
bypass a big man because of the
presence Of Wilt Chamberlain. The
club showed a weakness in the
back-court last season. On the
other hand, Chamberlain has been
going all the way in nearly every
game and it might be the general
idea that with help, Wilt will be-
come that much more effective and
greater all-around performer.
Thurmond is from Akron, Ohio.
So is Johnson, a rather obscure
name in college circles, but rated
an outstanding prospect.
Thacker is considered an out
standing floor player. He had
1873 average for the Cincinnati
BearCats and played on two NCAA
champions and one runnerup.
Hardness, captain of the NCAA
titlists, Loyola, is another player
of the Thacker mold. The Knicks
are counting on him for backcowt

South High May Lose Football
Coach

It is rumored that Walt Butter
wick may not return next fall as
head football coach at South High.
His wife has been i'll and change
of climate has been recommended.
A new coach would have to be
chosen in the very near future. A
football coach should be person
able, have a keen mind for the
game, be a hard worker, and be
able to make men out of boys.
South High has that man on their
staff in the person of Bill Nc
Moore.
Bill for years has been one of
the most popular young men in the
Twin Cities. He was a fine athlete
at South High and the University
of Minnesota. He is a hard worker,
personable, a good leader, and a
person all youngsters admire.
Bills geniality, vigor, and lead

The speaker was Joe Hamilton,
Garry Moore'S producer and a Keely

What she'll be doing Tuesday on

straight song spot, will depend on the

to hand her lines.

in great style with Andy Williams on
one of his shows last month.
Though she and trumpeter Prima
are divorced, Keely's affection for Las
VegaS-as a place to live and bring
up her children-still holds. She de-
livered the testimonial during a con-
verSation with Johnny Carson. Keely

B.C. Legislature Advocates Enforcing of 12-Mile
 Fishing Limit off its Coast

VICTORIA, B.C. R-A special committee of the British Columbia legislature has advocated that Can ada establish a Emile fishing limit off it's coasts and be prepared to enforce it.
 The committee met with union, employer and other fishing groups during the sitting of the legisla- ture. The report said the present three-mile limit is inadequate for protection of Canadian fisheries.
 It asked Canada take unilateral action to establish headland to headland baseline along it's shore line as recommended by Canada and the United States in a 1860 United Nations conference on the Law of the Sea.
 While recognizing the historic fishing rights of the US. within the fishing limit, the committee recommended Canada declare ex- elusive fishing rights for a dis tance of 12 miles from that base line."
 Several countries have unilater- ally eSCaDllSneQ Sucn a limit, ln- cluding Iceland which clashed with Britain over the matter.
 The report said "all sections of the industry expressed grav doubt commercial fishing on the high seas was in the best interests of proper conservation and the principle of sustained annual pro- ductivity."
 It noted "all countries had a vested interested in those fish or iginating within their respective territorial waters"
 The committees greatest con- cern was the Japanese high seas fishery. A proposed amendment to the three country North Pacific treaty would permit Japan to fish for halibut in the Boring Sea and for herring off the Queen Char lotte Islands.
 B. C. fishing industry officials expressed concern that herring fishermen would cacth immature salmon, decimating B.C.'s crop.
 The US. and Japan have rati- fled the amendment but Canada has not.

Administering Gambling In Alaska Costs More
 Than Take from Permits

ANCHORAGE R-It costs the state more to administer present legalized gambling in Alaska than it takes in from issuance of gambl- ing permits, and the Department of Revenue feels two per cent tax on gambling gross would help to offset the loss.
 Gambling activities in the state which can only be conducted by nonprofit fraternal, charitable or religious organizations under pre- sent law grossed $734,619 last year.
 The state issued 284 gambling permits, and, at $1O permit, real ized $2,840. The Department of Revenue estimates it cost the state some $12,00O to administer the gambling.
 Acting Revenue Commissioner R. D. Stevenson reportedly informed House Speaker Bruce Kendall of the situation in February, in re- commenting that either permit fees be increased or a two per cent tax be imposed on gambling gross.
 The Department of Revenue said that a two per cent tax in addition to present permit revenue would yield the state some $17,5OO a year. There would probably be no sur plus because, with a two per cent tax, it would cost more to admin ister gambling than now, it said.
 One revenue agent works part time in Juneau handling licenses and doing police work'' in south east Alaska. Another agent works out of the Anchorage office, doing the police work for the remainder of Alaska.
 Secretarial help is also required to help with administration of gambling.

WASHINGTON tR Ninety six years ago Saturday the United States paid Russia SIP million fol Alaska - then Russian America
 A few years ago, just after Alaska became the 49th State, So- viet Deputy Premier Frol kozlov said:
 Wed give you S2OO million for it - but I don't suppose you would sell. We have proVerb In Russia, if something has fallen off a cart, 1t is lost forever"
 When Russia gave up Alaska in 1867 after holding it for 126 years, many Americans thought SIP mil lion was far too much to pay for what they visualized as an ice bound wasteland.
 There were rumors that the Rus sian minister had bribed high off, cials to secure congressional ap- proval of the deal.
 Wits dubbed it Stewards Folly" and "Johnson's Polar Bear Farm" and one writer described an imaginary visit to Alaska:
 "I visited all of the important points along the coast and found them covered with ice, and very slippery indeed; I don't think an enemy could ever get a foothold on these shores.''
 In the mid-1850s, Russia s czarist government realized it couldn't defend Alaska if war came and the colony would fall eventually either to the United States or Great Britain, and Russia preferred having it belong to the United States.
 Sen Charles Sumner of MaSsa- chusetts said shortly after the Senate ratified the purchase treaty that Russia had wished to strip herself of all outlying possessions as Napoleon had stripped himself of Louisiana in order to gain her strength for her struggle with Eng land for control of Asia"
 Russia had looked upon Alaska as an investment rather than a colony. The Russian American Co., held exclusive franchise to exploit its wealth.

Russians Deny
 Alaska Overflight

WASHINGTON R- The State Department yesterday termed "un- satisfactory" a Soviet note reject ing US. claims that Russian air craft violated American air space.
 The United States had protest ed to Moscow that on March 15 two Russia reconnaissance planes penetrated 30 miles into American air space over Alaska.
 Wednesday the Soviets denied this. They said in reply that their planes had never come closer to Alaska than $50 kilometers (217 miles,.
 ''The reply is unsatisfactory" Lincoln White, the State Depart ment's spokesman, told a news conference.
 we are sure of our evidence and take serious view of any unauthorized overflights of U. s. territory"
 Washington authorities said the Soviet denial, received late We'd nesday, probably will end the for mai diplomatic exchange on the incident. But they predicted the United States will continue to re- mind the Soviet Union at appro- priate times that air space intru- sions will not be tolerated.
 The US. government was stick ing firmly to its version, con- tained in March 16 protest note to Moscow, that two Soviet re- connaissance planes flew over the southwestern corner of Alaska for nearly a half hour.
 The Kremlin responded with an emphatic denial in brief note.
 Moscow appeared to have no de- sire to make big issue over the incident. US. informants said the Russian note was very short and devoid of propaganda embellish- ments the Communists often in- clude in their diplomatic and pub- lie declarations.
 Both Russian and American planes often fly near the others border in that area, and naviga- tion can be difficult. The March 15 flight was at night
 In recent months Russian planes have flown over US. warships at sea. The United States has not pro- tested, taking the position such overflights are legal on the high seas, outside of national territory.
