Speaking before the Washington touchdown club last night, White said "sometimes the benefits gained trom the system of payments to college athletes far outweigh the evils "No. one- can say or 'unfair' until they "themselves have checked the players, to see if down through the years the system has or has not benefited them and the colleges' 1 he added. --Try the Wam-Ad Column if vou want results. Friday night our Ohusks face a valiant buneh of Postville Pirates at the local stadium.

This game was added to the schedule alter the regular season had started ana consequently it has "not received too much publicity. As in the past advance tickats will be on sale at Hap 'n Kens soorting goods store and fans wno wish to avoid congestion at the stadium should be for getting their tickets at Hap 'n Kens. It saves a lot of sweating out of lines The OHusks may be in for a rude surprise, for the Pirates are coming down here, with definite ideas ot winning this game. The fans-are mighty proud of the team they have up there this year 'and from the idle conversation that comes out of our neighbor to the northeast they want this game above all others on their schedule. This will be the first meeting of the two schools on the gridiron the Pirates want to start the series with f- win.

Whether or not that will be done remains to be seen but I for one cannot see where it'll be a push- ovei foi the locals--Tar from it, it's going to be a rough tough game. Now to do a little apologizing and to give credit where it is due. Last week I mentioned 1hat Russel Baker was the coach of the May.nard high school team but again I was wrong (it gets so monotonous, being wrong all the time) The coach'iob up there belongs to Ed Shanks and a good job he is doing. While on the subject of the Blue Devils they have two "tiny" sophomore linemen in the persons of brothers Paul and Allan Schwartz. the small one, weighs only 220 while his brother carries around Ibs.

on his 6 ft 4 frame If these two keep on growing like they have we'll be seeing a couple of Paul Bunyans at Maynard. Tonight the Moose cagers again practice at 7 30 in the high school gym. Things look pretty bright for the moosers this year as they have two new additions, Doctor M. C. Nelson and Tess Leins.

"Doc" played his high school basketball in Goldfield and college at N. I. C. while Tess did his cage work at Coe. The Moose are drawing an ambitious schedule and they are going to be needing all the talent that they can get to come through successfully so these two boys are very welcome additions.

V17TE DO LOVE our work--but these days, we AV almost dread leaving home and going to our showroom. So many people want new Packards, and there are so few coming through! But you can't build cars without materials! The factory is straining every effort to get more parts and material so production can be increased. We're dbifig our Some cars have been shipped with wooden bumpers, some without window regulator handles. This costs the factory a lot of money, for it means that replacements must be shipped and installed later.

Under such difficulties, it's a wonder the folks at the factory have done as well as they have. This year, compared to the saine period of 1941, Packard has built a higher percentage ocars than the industry as a whole. We don't dare predict! Our customers have been so patient that we'd like to sound some optimistic note. v' But from Detroit says that parts and materials are still scarce. Steel continues to be limited.

Shortages of lead, copper and other materials arc looming up. Scrap iron has been so scarce that Packard started the ball rolling on a nation-wide collection Tclce cere of your present car! Until you're sure of getting a new one, give your present car the best of care. Lots of cars are running better and lasting longer because our trained mechanics have serviced them right. Give us a chance to catch those little troubles before they grow up into big ones. Bring your car in any time.

We're short on new cars, but we're long on helpful, car-saving service. ASK THI A KING BROTHERS 137 South Frederick Oelwein, Iowa 'SPAPERJ.
