Wardens Arrest Carson Hunters Illegal Game Found On Kingsbury Road CARSON, Sept. 20. Two Carson valley hunters identified as August Kettenburg and Henry Dryer were arrested on the opening day of the California deer season and charged with having two spiked horn bucks in their possession. They were stopped during a routine check of hunters passing over the Kingsbury grade by officials who were inspecting validation of license tags.

Officials charged that the hunt ers had not validated the deer shot at the lower end of the lake and it was explained that it is illegal to shoot spiked horn bucks in both California and Nevada. The state game warden said he expected the two men to be brought before Justice of the Peace D. W. McCleery of Tahoe township. Although no charge has been filed against the men, it was indicated that they could be faced with three possible charges: 1 Shooting illegal game.

2 Improper validation of deer tags. 3 Transporting illegal game across the state line. For Grid Crown The schedule is: Sept. 25 St. Mary's of Phoenix, here.

Hollywood pulled up into fifth-place tie with Seattle by defeating the Rainiers, 4-2. Rugger Ardizoia went the route for the Stars, twirling a shutout after the first inning and hitting a homer to help his cause. The Stars' victory dampened a ceremony in which Jo-Jo White was formally tendered a contract to manage the Rainiers again in 1948.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20 The Los Angeles Dons, with such back-field stars as Charlie O'Rourke, Glenn Dobbt and Chuck Fenen-bock, fielded too much strength for the Brooklyn Dodgers. And that was the reason for their 48 to 21 victory last night, and for the fact that the Dons were all even with two wins and two setback, and the Dodgermen were deeper in the All-America football conference cellar today. The Dons rang up six touchdowns and "Toeless Ben" Agajan-ian booted a pair of field goals, as weli as converting after the six touchdowns, to flatten the visitors before 38,81 if fans last night. The crowd was disappointing in comparison to tne wno turned oui to see the New xork Yankees defeat the Dons a week ago.

But Brooklyn's previous three defeats was the answer. Bob (Hunchy) Hoernschemeyer and his Brooklyns tried 40 passes and completed 21 for 117 yards. The Dor.s completed only 9, and gained 215 yards including a pair of touchdown strikes hurled by O'Rourke. One was good for 54 yards to end Dale Gentry, the other worth 40 to Joe Aguirre. But the mjf spectacular toss of the evening was the DobbB to Fen- enbock play for 70 yards and six points.

Jatrin John Kimbrough went for six in the final six seconds of the game, center Bob Nelson grabbed one of Hoernschemeyer's tosses and galloped 32 yards across the goal, and Fenebock, stepping into the T-quarterback role for O'Rourke, sneaked across from one yard for still another touchdown.

Football fans down here have hopes of the state's gridiron diadem returning to Las Vegas this year after seeing Coach Harvey Stanford's 1947 edition of the Wildcats work out nightly. It's a much lighter squad that will represent Las Vegas this year and one lacking somewhat in experience, but the lads have more fight and fire than any eleven since the early '30's. There are 52 members on the squad this season, and the schedule is for ten including some of the toughest opponents yet opposed by the locals. They include the Reno Huskies, St. Mary's of Pho6nix, San Bernardino, and Ely, defending champions of Nevada.

Most Top Elevens Facing Pushover Opposition Today new York, Sept. 20. up College football sneaks in the back door today in its usual early-season attempt to push baseball off the sports pages. The schedule-makers have cast aside tradition in some cases, and not all of the several score openers are of the September "warm-up" variety. In fact, some of these games, come late November, may have a bearing on sectional or national rankings.

Many a coach this year, boasting the best material since the war shattered promising 1942 squads, has the thought of a postseason bowl bid somewhere in the back of his head. This is the first real postwar season in man respects, and pre-season ticket sales indicate record attendances, with several of the major contests already sold out. SIGNIFICANT TILTS While a certain number of big colleges open against comparatively easy opposition, the results of at least a half-dozen games are going to be watched for what the politicians call "significant trends." One of these is tonight's Penn State-Washington State tussle at Hershey. Pa. The power-packed Nittany Lions are regarded as one of.

the east's stronger teams, while the experienced Cougars may be the surprise team in the Pacific Coast conference race. Down at Oxford, Kentucky and Mississippi get the Southeastern conference proceedings off to an early start, with Kentucky's Wildcats slightly favored over aerial-minded Ole Miss if the going is sloppy. Kentucky bumped Mississippi 20-6 last year and then went on for a record of seven wins against three losses. KANSAS IN TOUGIIIE Kansas, favored in the Big Six conference, has a tough assignment in Texas Christian, although the Horned Frogs don't figure to cause much trouble in the Southwest conference race. A capacity crowd of 21,000 is expected at the Kansas City Blues stadium for the night contest.

Kansas State also gets away under the lights and the night air may turn the fortunes of the Wildcats, who haven't won a game since late in 1944. The opponent is Oklahoma A. and turned down in a bid for Big Six membership and also looking forward to better days. Alabama ought to put on an interesting show with 10 veterans starting their fourth Play Advances In Golf Tourney Quarter-final and semi-final play in the Director's Cup tourney for men of the Reno Golf club continues this weekend, with important matches slated.

Bob Robinson, one of the golfers who helped originate the first club in Elko has begun to recondition the course. In order that a new organization might be formed he has asked the following persons to form a central committee from which a new club will stem: Dr. Morris Gallagher, chairman; Mrs. A. J.

Hood, John E. Robbins, Bob Quinn and. Karl Keppler. Elko had a golf club with a membership of 125 around 1930, and the dirt course was considered one of the best of its kind. Interest lagged, however, and shortly before the war the course was abandoned.

Robinson said two new holes will have to be built, since work in the vicinity of the fair grounds has' resulted in the destruction of two of the holes. It is hoped that the committee can hold a meeting in the immediate future so that reorganization plans can be put into effect immediately so play can be resumed this fall.
