By Jim Mitchell. Bloomington, Nov. 18 (JP) The rubbery right arm of Bob Hoernschemeyer, the Western Conference's leading aerialist, hurled Indiana University out of a two-game football losing streak today and completed the Hoosiers' home season with a WILDCATS, 21-0 Frosh Back Brennan Shows Way for Ramblers. South Bend, Nov. 18 (JP) Jim Brennan, 155 pounds of backfield dynamite, gave 48.000 fans cause to forget Bob Kelly, Notre Dame's ace halfback, as he exploded twice in the first seven minutes of play to lead the Ramblers to a 21-0 victory over Northwestern here today.

The stocky 18-year-old freshman from Milwaukee blasted his way through the Northwestern line and scampered forty-one yards for a touchdown before the crowd scarcely had settled in its seats. Four min- tLt ifj ft By Fritz Howell. Baltimore, Nov. 18 IP) Navy's powerful middies tuned up for that all-important December 2 date with unbeaten Army today by pounding out a five-touchdown tattoo against a gambling "shoot the works" Purdue team, beating the Boilermakers, 32 to 0, before about 35,000 in Municipal stadium.

Mr. Hard-to-Get Pheasant Presents Puzzling Problem By Bob Barnet. Indiana's eight-day pheasant hunting season passed into history yesterday, leaving thousands of hunters in this area asking the same old question: "Where in hell are the pheasants?" It is no secret that Delaware County and eastern Indiana, despite the fine work of conservation clubs, is NOT getting a stand the mark for three touchdown passes two ot tnem to his favorite receiver, Abe Addams. Hoernschemeyer uncorked eleven times for seven completions and a total of 144 yards gained. The Statistics Pitt.

It was far from a one-man show, however. Dick Deranek, racehorse Hoosier halfback, scored twice once on a beautiful run of 46 yards, and the entire Indiana forward wall ganged up on the Pittsburgh offense to hold the Panthers to a net gain of 62 yards on the ground. The Panthers, also sparked by passing, threatened the Hoosier home goal more seriously than it had ever been jeopardized this year, but were unable to deliver a payoff blow. Paul Richards hurled the Panthers to the Indiana 13 on one occasion, and to the 24 and the 29 in the second half. The Hoosiers' territory had been invaded only once before at home.

Richards threw all of the losers' 29 passes and completed thirteen for 167 yards. Those thrusts were the only serious offensive gestures made by the plucky Panthers. It was Indiana's sixth win against three setbacks. Pitt dropped its fifth decision in eight games. PITTSBURGH.

After that, the Ramblers settled down to a primarily defensive game, halted every Northwestern attempt to get across the 25-yard Trie and then, as an anti-climax, staged a fifty-yard drive late in the third period that culminated in a touchdown by Marty Wendell on the third play of the fourth quarter. But Brtnnan was the whole show as Notre Dame, bruised and battered by Navy and 'Army the past two weeks, bounced back into the victory column. The Ramblers were minus their first-string guards, Capt.

Northwestern's Johnny Yungwirtlr had little opportunity to use his best weapon, the pass, as the Notre Dame forwards sifted through to rush him, and occasionally tossed him back for losses, before he couid get off a good aerial. He tried only seven passes, and completed only three. Frank Dancewicz, meanwhile, used his aerial attack sparingly, and then only toj spread the defense for rushing plays.

Cnly two of the four passes he com-! pleted figured in scoring drives. Northwestern was unable to make what even appeared to be a scoring drive until the final quarter when.

Purdue's fullback, Is about to be star.) ern counties, where the birds are nearly as numerous as in South Dakota. In other sections of the state they are rarely seen. Head for Lake Area. Mr. Sparks recalls that his home, near Angola, is within twenty miles of a southern Michigan section in which pheasants are plentiful.

They are seldom killed in his locality. Pheasants refuse to stay south of state road 40 in Indiana and they don't even release them down there any more. Cover is ideal in southern Indiana but you can't find a pheasant to save your life. The best pheasant hunting In the Hoosier state is in the lake area, and Mr. Sparks reports that prairie chickens released in all parts of the ttate eventually make their appearance in Lake County.

In the case of the northern Ohio counties there are heavy deposits of limestone in the water and soil, and Hoosier conservation experts wonder if mineral has an attraction for the birds. Many hunters believe four or five pheasants released in this county leave for other sections. What can be done? First, the foxes must be thinned or eliminated from this area. They have no business here. Bounties should be increased to make it worthwhile for farmers to dig out and hunt the pests.

Veteran Conservationist Verl Retz believes Indiana sportsmen would be willing to pay an extra quarter or fifty cents to obtain a hunting or fishing license If they knew this extra money were to be used entirely in the destruction of pests such as foxes, hawks, predatory fish and owls. Perhaps the state could pay the bounty, or turn the money over to the counties or to conservation clubs for the payment of the bounties. Mr. Retz believes the bounty should be raised to $10 for a female fox and $7 for a male. Fox pelts were worth $9 last year.

Well-organized fox drives, with a good number of guns and dogs, are on the schedule for local conservation clubs this winter. There should be more Pittman Robinson game refuge areas. Twenty-six are listed here, making the county one of the leaders in this important work. Perhaps the entire county, or all the counties in this eastern Indiana section, should be closed to the hunting of pheasants next year. Possibly the entire state should be closed.

Certainly the birds are not getting the proper start and no true sportsman would object to closing the season for a year if it were a question of seeing the birds disappear like wild pigeons. they want any pheasants for those soldiers and sailors when they come marching home, Hoosier sportsmen must take drastic steps. If the supply Is not sufficient to provide one pheasant to every fifteen stay-at-homes, how long will the birds last when those thousands of sharpshooters come home from France and the Pacific? It's something to think about. STATE CROSS COUNTRY TITLE IS TAKEN BY I. U.

Great Lakes, 111., Nov. 19 (JP) Great Lakes' sturdy Bluejackets, playing reserves most of the way and minus Coach Paul Brown, rolled over Marquette University, 32 to 0, for the eighth triumph of the season, against a lone defeat by Ohio State and a tie with Purdue. Bluejacket Mentor Brown was in South Bend, scouting the Notre Dame-Northwestern game, but his team had little trouble brushing aside Marquette for the second time in two weeks.

The Bluejackets won the first game, 45 to 7. Reserves Play Most of Game. First stringers accounted for Great Lakes' first three touchdowns in 16 minutes of play and then Bluejacket reserves took over against a game, but outmanned Marquette team whose furthest advance was to Great Lakes' 29 in the final period. End Jim Keane paced the Bluejacket scoring with a pair of first on a 21-yard pass from Jim Youel on the opening play of the second period, and the second on the game outstanding play a two-man 90-yard return of Marquette's kickoff starting the second half." On the latter play, Reserve Halfback Jim Delaney galloped to mid-field from his 10 after receiving the kickoff and flipped a lateral to Keane, who sprinted 47 yards to score. The plucky Hilltoppers managed to bristle defensively whenever the second and third string Bluejackets threatened in the final two periods.

Eubank Subs as Coach. It took the Sailors six minutes to draw blood, with Ed Saenz sprinting nine yards for the first touchdown after Great Lakes recovered a Marquette fumble on the Hilltoppers' 13. The second score came a few minutes later in the same period as Don Mangold flipped a lateral to Jim Mel-lo, who darted 19 yards to cap a 51-yard Bluejacket march. After Youel's payoff toss to Keane chalked up Great Lakes' third touchdown, the Bluejackets also tallied in the second period when Delaney circled end from the one-foot line following a 30-yard punt return by Ollie Vogt. Then came the Delaney-Keane kickoff return for the fifth and last touchdown.

Attendance 25,000. NEW CAGE LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED FOR WABASH VALLEY Terre Haute, Nov. 18 (JP) Eight high school basketball teams all perrenially strong and all keen rivals have organized a West Central Indiana basketball conference which will start operating in the Wabash Valley this season, it was announced tonight.

Conference members are Garfield, Wiley, Gerstmeyer and State, all of Terre Haute, and Sullivan, Clinton, Brazil and Linton. Leaders in the organization expressed belief the new league would heighten interest among the already hot rivalries in the Wabash Valley area. Next season each conference team must play at least six other members to be eligible for the championship, but this season, since schedules were drawn up before the conference was organized, no fixed numbers of games will be required for the championship. The title will be based on the percentage of games won and lost, with no credit for any tournament contests. Conference leaders said the league would confine itself solely to basketball.

The annual Wabash Valley Conference tournament will not be affected by the West Central Indiana games. of the big birds. As for quail, one might just as well hunt wild turkeys in Delaware County. The birds just aren't here and even the wild and wooly Hungarian partridge, a critter most hunters swore could take care of himself against any opposition, has nearly disappeared from Delaware County cornfields In the past two years. Where are they? Nobody knows.

Approximately 3,000 adult pheasants were released this year in this county. It is likely that Delaware County hunters, some 11.000 of them, did not kill 500. From 1.000 to 4,000 pheasants have been released in this county annually during the past seven years. This writer is of the opinion that no more than 1,000 have been killed in any one season. What About Carry-Over? Simple arithmetic discloses that thousands of birds should be carried over each year, along with other thousands of "native" birds, if the pheasant population increased as it should.

But there aren't that many birds in this county. There should be thousands of the gaudy big fellows, and there are not even hundreds. The writer has talked with dozens of hunters who did not see a single bird during the eight days the season was open. Vern Sparks, state game protector in this area, said he checked perhaps 200 hunters. He saw less than 25 birds.

Only one man had more than one. Mr. sparks believes there is a fair supply of hen birds for the carry-over to next year and passed on the good news that a consignment of cock birds will be brought to this county soon for release. But he agrees with the writer and others who have discussed the subject that the pheasants are not getting a foothold here. He is frankly puzzled, despite the fact that all the Information acquired by state conservation departments experts has been placed at his disposal.

It is likely that the state department is puzzled too. There are many theories as to the inability of the birds to increase normally in this county. Probably no county in the state has a better share of hard-working, intelligent conservation club members than Delaware County. More than a dozen clubs carry on year-around programs and thousands of men and women give their time to the propo-gation of game birds, animals, and fish. Bre'er Fox Shares.

It isn't their fault, because they are rearing enough game. The state sends hundreds of additional pheasants and millions of fish to this county from its own farms. Many hunters believe the foxes are killing the pheasants and quail. Warden Sparks agrees that that thoroughly ornery citizen, Bre'er Fox, is too plentiful in this area, but doubts that he is doing all the dirty work for which he is blamed. He points to the fact that there are five foxes in southern Indiana for every fox in this section, yet quail are traditionally numerous there.

Other hunters believe the cover is not sufficiently thick in this section of the state, but it is only necessary to survey the pheasant situation in northern Ohio to disprove this theory. In the vicinity of Toledo, Findlay, and Fostoria the pheasants are thicker than hair on a dog's back, and the cover is almost exactly the same as the cover in Delaware County bean fields and cornfields and a few weedy fence rows. Many believe pheasants do not like this part of the country and just naturally leave. This is a theory that has considerable basis for truth. It is a known fact that all game will travel until it finds the right type food and sufficient food.

It will find places where there is plenty of water. Warden Sparks tells of a pheasant killed near Geneva, that was banded and released near Middletown, southwest of Muncie. This writer was told of another case which a pheasant banded and released in Delaware County was killed near Pontiac, Mich. That is a lot of traveling, but the state department of conservation believes the birds do leave certain communities and gather in others. In Ohio, for instance, pheasant hunting is good only in a few north.
