Tomorrow the curtain will fall upon the last of the open seasons for game hunting in Pennsylvania. It's been a good year, even though small game was rather scarce.

Just what to do and how to bring it back is something to think about during the coming long winter evenings, Among the features which have was listed among the candidates for All-America center. Three local halfbacks Bobby La-Rue and Marshall Goldberg of Pitt and Boyd Brumbaugh of Duquesne also were among those considered for backfield positions. Two other district stars, Captain Chuck Cherundolo, center, and Harry Harrison, halfback, of Perm State College were nominated for All-America positions. CLAIRE Bl'RCKY. NEW YORK, Dec.

Three University of Pittsburgh players and one Duquesne University player were named on the second team of Kate Smith's all-collegiate selections on the radio here last night. The selections were made by a poll of 452 college coaches. Daddio, Daniell and Glassford of Pitt, and Basrak of Duquesne made the second lineup. The teams: FIRST TEAM ENDS Kelley (Vale). Tinsley (L.

Personally, we have no dispute with the man magazines All-America Advisory Board, and which many regard as the "most official" of all the "official" All-America picks, follows: ENDS Gaynell Tinsley, Louisiana State; Lawrence Kelley, Yale. TACKLES Ed Widseth, Minnesota; AVERELL DANIELL PITTSBURGH.

GUARDS Max Starcevich, Washington; Steve Reid, Northwestern. CENTER Alexander Fordham. QUARTERBACK Sam Baugh, Texas Christian. HALFBACKS Clinton Frank, Yale; Raymond Buivid, Mar-qutte. FULLBACK Sam Francis, Nebraska.

Ten other Pittsburgh collegiate stars also received nomination from the Advisory Board, although they lost out in the final selection. Three Ends Considered Among the ends considered for places on the Collier team were Maurice (Babe) Patt of Carnegie Tech, Bill Daddio of Pitt and George Platukis of Duquesne. Husky Joe Maras of Duquesne, Captain Nestor Henrion of Carnegie Tech, and burly Tony Ma-tisi of Pitt were among the tackle nominations. Henrion also was a nominee for a guarti position. Captain Mike Basrak of Duquesne By PAUL KURTZ From early indications, Johnstown High School is expected to seek recognition in the football championship race of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League next season.

While the Flood City team has not competed for championship honors heretofore, it has maintained its membership in the WPIAL ever fince enrolling in the Central Penn-s-yh ania Football Conference when it was organized in It is believed disintegration of the Western Section of me Pennsylvania grid circuit set in after Altoona High decided to and the Mountain Lions are almost certain to seek admission to the WPIAL in a bona fide manner now. Likewise, Johnstown is almost sure to devote attention to the WPIAL in the future. This is apparent from the 1937 football schedule Coach William Foxy Miller is reported assembling for the Johnnies. Knowing they must participate in at least five Class "AA" contests to bear championship consideration and to en ing of his land. Furthermore, It would provide him with the same privileges he enjoys today under the Game Code, that of hunting, without a license, on his own or adjoining farm lands.

Thus it is not directed against either the first landowner, who wishes to protect the wild life on his lands, neither does it deny the right to hunt to the man who wishes to protect himself from the depredations of the two-legged skunks, but it will prevent the commercially minded landowner from capitalizing on the game introduced at the expense of the sportsmen. Will Kill Selfishness It will, in most cases, if not all, put an end to a growing practice such as where a group of individuals approach a farmer or landowner, offer to pay him $10 or $15 for the shooting rights, then post the grounds for their own selfish desires. When this is done, the site immediately becomes a private shooting preserve and the owner is subject to the private shooting preserve license of $100. Such a bill could not be considered unfair. No privileges, would be denied The right to post land remains with the farmer or landowner.

He continues to enjoy the right to hunt on his own or adjoining lands, but he is prohibited only from commercializing the game put there through the funds contributed by all of the sportsmen, for it cannot be denied that native game has long since gone the way of the passenger pigeon and the dodo. In our opinion, such a bill would not only meet with the wholehearted support of the real sportsmen, but also many of the farmers and land who posts his Mr. Mock property for any of the various reasons such as might justify the action. By this we mean the man who loves to see wild life on his property, or to protect himself from the depredations of irresponsible hunters who, unfortunately, while small in number, spoil the sport for the large majority. Many Will Play Fair In many cases, when properly approached, the right to hunt has been TACKLES DANIELL.

Pa. his lands have been stocked with the sportsmen's game, posts his lands for a chosen few of his friends and those of the sportsmen, so-called who lease lands for the same purpose for an insignificant fee which gives them the right to post certain lands. Within two months the Legislature of Pennsylvania will convene.

With this in mind we have a little plan which may correct somewhat this rather common and growing abuse. Just how far it will progress, however, will depend on the sportsmen themselves. The plan is simply this. Introduce a bill which wall create a private shooting preserve license, with a fee of $100 In this bill provision will be included the right which every farmer or landowner has, the post- owners who are beginning to note the Ill-repute which is being brought upon them by a few narrow and mercenary-minded individuals out to grab every possible penny. Many of the latter resent the ulterior motives of their neighbors but are powerless to do anything in the matter.

With a private shooting preserve license brought into existence there is a control over the cne who needs it. The solution to a problem which is becoming more and more abusive lies in the hands of the sportsmen themselves. If they wish to see it grow more and more with the advancing years, they will standby and cry. If they wish to correct it, the power lies within their hands. Action is all that is needed.

City school is arranging such a program. Seeks More Local Games Jeannette, Wiikinsburg and Grrensburg. members of Class "AA" have already been scheduled by Johnstown which is also dickering with Braddock, McKcesport and La-trobe for "AA" matches. Should Altoona decide to seek admission and be granted membership in the WPIAL. then the Johnnies would have another "AA" battle listed.

Mt. Pleasant Hurst (Class WPIAL) has also been carded by the Flood City club. In all probability, Johnstown will again schedule its town rivals Jchnstown Catholic and possibly Huntingdon. If Pittsburgh administration officials grant permission. Allegheny High will be an early season opponent for the Pale Blue and Black gridsters.

Seven victories were recorded the past season by Johnstown along with only one defeat and two dead-loess. The Johnnies beat West Newton of the WPIAL and Allegheny of the Pittsburgh City League in addition to winning from Ebens-burg. Portage, Johnstown Catholic, Huntingdon and DuBois. Altoona Gets Ready Perhaps, Altoona will follow the schedule example being set by Johnstown. Already the Mountain Lions have arranged matches for next season with Latrobe, Jeannette, Greensburg and Johnstown of Class "AA" in the WPIAL, along with meeting Westinghouse of the City circuit.

To meet the WPIAL requirements, Altoona needs one more Scholastic Notes And the best part of it is Duquesne Pilsener is always better, because every drop is to the same mellow perfection of taste and flavor you liked the first time. It must please you, or your money back! 0CQ 0Q8GCD 33G8K7 1 y- Here's what SI LYMAN, sports columnist in Sharon, has to say: "It's about time EDMUND WICHT, secretary of the PIAA, told his CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA football conference it doesn't cover the entire state. Every year the east and west champions of the conference clash in a post-season battle and the PEOPLE out that way believe the winner is the STATE CHAMPION. The section seems to think the state's western boundary is at Johnstown." No truer words have been written That's the sentiment of WPIAL officials, too. They want the public to know that KINGSTON became the CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA CONFERENCE champion and NOT the STATE CHAMPION as some correspondents wrote There is NO PENNSYLVANIA scholastic grid champion SHARON won in NORTHWESTERN PENNA.

P. K. 44 What a divisional game to round out its oblieations should it become a WPIAL member.

Windber High, dismissed from the PIAA competition for the remander of the school team because of ineligible grid players, will not participate in the Tri-County High basketball league. In view of Wind-ber's status, all games with that team have been canceled. Altoona, Westmont, Portage, Fern-dale and Johnstown will continue as league members, officials of the loop deciding it was too late to obtain an entry to replace Windber. This is the league's fifth year with Johnstown having won the title last season.
