ONE OF THE QUESTIONS which is frequently asked by those Who study the state game code is "Why are hawks protected?" Prairie Trails has discussed the subject before, and It has been debated, elucidated, controversified and argumentated in outdoors publications. The latest comment comes from Livingston E.

He was given much credit for helpirrfc the punch-less Boilermakers compile their only claim for recognition in a dismal campaign a stubborn defense. Woe Unto This Expert. BACKS: Pat Harder of Wisconsin; Bill Hillenbrand of Indiana; Bruce Smith of Minnesota and Bob West-fall of Michigan.

This was the hardest chore of all. Some will argue that Smith forfeited his right to first-team honors when he spent major parts of two conference games on the bench with a leg Injury, but close observers at Minneapolis say the Gopher were from 35 to 50 percent stronger with their captain in the lineup. Even with his curtailed performance, he belongs. Harder and Hillenbrand may battle it out for the "sophomore back of the year" designation, although they were not far ahead of Michigan's Tom Kuzma, Minnesota's Bill Garnaas and North -western's Otto Graham. Harder led Big Ten scoring with 58 points, and Hillenbrand performed sensationally all season with a team which won only two games.

Westfall not only was a tremendous line -smasher, but his speed made him dangerous in the open. His true ability was shown in his final game when he rallied his Michigan team and personally led the sustained march which gave the Wolverines the tying touchdown against Ohio State. vk BILL COMBS Purdue's senior right end.

25. (INS) Billy Hillenbrand, Indiana halfback generally recognized among football writers as the Big Ten's "sophomore of the year," today held the even greater honor of selection by his teammates as their most valuable player.

OB JOHNSON Purdue's sophomore iron-man center.

The job of selecting the squad this year was harder than usual because of the exceptional number of top-flight backs and the subsequent mere trickle of publicity given to linemen. At that, the Big Ten season was featured by considerably more scoring than in any other recent year, so perhaps the conclusion that the ball carriers and passers actually did overshadow the performers "up front" during 1941 is not a rash one. Best Lines in Nation. There were standout linemen, of course. And the standard of line play in the Big Ten probably would have overshadowed that in all other parts of the nation If any method of comparison were available.

Perhaps there were more outstanding tackles cavorting on Western conference teams than ever before. Yet, the same situation did not hold good at center, guard and end. The centers included no Chuck Bernards, Doc Morrisons or Jack Hamans. There were, no guards of the Bill Bevan-Zud Schammel caliber, and no ends like Wes Fesler, Butch Larson, Ed Manske or Eddie Frutig. These selections undoubtedly will start a few arguments.

That seems to be one of the purposes of mythical teams. But they were made without favor or prejudice, without regard for regional representation or scholastic classification of the players. And what is perhaps more important, they were made after all of the scores were in, and the 1941 conference schedule completed.

The Afcgies, given only two first-place votes to Duke's 15, got 41 rotes for second and 40 for third in accumulating 922 points. Duke was only 10 points behind In third place. Notre Dame, unbeaten but tied by Army, also retained the fourth position it was voted a week ago. Unbeaten and untied Duquesne moved up a notch to fifth, changing places with Michigan.

"The result was indiscriminate hawk-shooting and many good hawks were killed because a limited number of individuals are destructive in their feeding habits," Osborne said. "Osborne pointed out that the individual farmer may legally kill any hawk which is known to be guilty of damaging property. Section 50 of the new game code says: "The owners and tenants of lands may. destroy any wild bird or wild atiimal, other than a game bird or migratory game bird, when such wild bird or wild animal is destroying property upon his or her land, but no poison or poisonous substance shall be used.

"This gives the farmer a free rein to destroy hawks which are actually damaging property," Osborne said. "We have no desire to protect destructive hawks, but we do wish to protect those beneficial hawks which feed principally on rodents, and other animals which annually destroy more game birds and more poultry than the haw-ks." 4 0 91 0 98 0 101 46 56 82 67 60 100 26 sin and Bob Motl of Northwestern. Here the argument starts. Schreiner probably was the outstanding all-around end in the conference. He scored 24 points, fielded passes brilliantly and was a tower of strength on defense.

One of his four touchdowns came after he had blocked a kick and recovered the ball in the end zone. Many observers contend that Bob Fitch of Minnesota was a better end than Motl, however. The Gopher probably had an edge on Motl in the defensive department and might have been selected for the first team had he played with a team which afforded him more pass-catching cpportunit.es. It was Motl's effectiveness in that department which gave him the nod over Fitch. Many Great Tackles.

TACKLES: Alf Bauman of Northwestern and Dick Wildung of Minnesota. These were tough selections to make, but few will argue over the capabilities of either player. No one who saw Bauman play 58 minutes of smashing, bruising football against both Minnesota and Notre Dame, then leave the field nearly out on his feet after giving all he had will denv the Wildcat his Washington State 5 Oregon 4 Washington 4 Southern California 2 U.

And veteran followers of Minnesota's Gophers said unanimously that Wildung was a better tackle than his teammate, Urban Odson, who was given all-American honors last year. Al Wistert of Michigan was on par with Bauman and Wildung and hence was shifted to guard. Only a shade behind were Jim Walker, Iowa's negro Iron-man, and Jim Danlell of Ohio State. GUARDS: Al Wistert of Michigan and Fritz Howard of Ohio State.

The shift of Wistert to guard will be criticized in some quarters, but the Wolverine powerhouse probably would be just as effective at that position and he was too good to leave off the first team. His speed, demonstrated by his ability at covering punts, would make him invaluable as a running guard on offense. Howard was adjudged the best of an ordinary crop of Big Ten guards, although he probably would have lost his position to Helge Pukema of Minnesota, had the big Gopher escaped injury and played a full season.

Chicago. Nov. 25. (JPh-The Big Ten scoring championship Is Pat Harder's, by a margin of more than three touchdowns. The great Wisconsin sophomore fullback rolled up 58 points in six conference games to outdistance by 22 points his nearest rival Jack Graf of Ohio State.

Harder's score-making prowess lay both in running and kicking, for he counted eight touchdowns and had seven placement conversions for 55 points. The other three points were tallied on a field goal. The Big Ten's top four scorers included three fullbacks Harder, Graf and Bill Daley of Minnesota, who had 30 points. Tied with Daley was Bill DeCorrevont, Northwestern halfback, who scored three touchdowns in the Wildcats' final game. Two other sophomores.

Bill Hillenbrand of Indiana and Otto Graham of Northwestern, tied with Wisconsin's Dave Schreiner at 24 points apiece. Eight others deadlocked at 18 points each Bill Garnaas of Minnesota, whose total was achieved on a single touchdown and twelve conversions; Bud Hlggins and, Bruce Smith of Minnesota, Bob Westfall and Tom Kuzma of Michigan, Dick Fisher of Ohio State, Don Clawson of Northwestern and Bill Green of Iowa. Dick Erdlitz, Northwestern quarterback, scored 14 points on conversion placements and John Petty of Purdue tallied 13 points. The only conference team without a representative in the top 17 scorers was Illinois, which tallied only 13 points in league play, finished in last place and did not win a Big Ten game.

The Argentine stallion, winner of the $100,000 'cap in 1939, had been rated one of the strongest threats to Whirlaway's bid for the money-winning championship. Victory in the world's richest horse race March 7 would put Whirly past the Biscuit's $437,730 record.

Howard was prepping Kayak II to stop Warren Wright's star and protect that mark. Second place is worth only $20,000.
