Well, we've gone through this a number of times already but we're willing to do it again.

It may be true that the supervisors "live here with the deer" but how many of them spend at least part of every month in the woods gathering information on the deer herd? "Those guys in the easy chairs in Lansing" don't all spend a much time in the woods, either, but they have some excellent teams biologists who DO get out and i a live with the deer.

This could result in such a hodge- podge of hunting laws that no 1 ter could venture out with full i assurance that he wouldn't unwittingly break some law before the day was ended. It would also throw undue pressure onto neighboring counties when one county yielded to vocal pressure and closed a deer season entirely.

In the end, the neighboring counties would also have to close down, just as has happened in southern Michigan where some counties are closed to Sunday i and others remained open. The end result is a blanket loss of i time and territory. In dealing with many supervisors, we find two separate groups which can basically be divided into young and old supervisors. The old ones have been subjected to the buck law for so long that they are now unable to change their ideas without--they feel--losing face. The young ones are adaptable enough to know that these are I changing times and the fact that a doe turns out to be a deer, too, does not surprise them.

We see this youth trend asserting itself many places. The recent national and state elections were a good example of throwing many of the old ideas aside to make way I for a new and modern tomorrow.

One of the Eagles to make the team was quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, who at 33 enjoyed probably the best of his 12 seasons in the N.F.L. Van Brocklin, who made the first all-pro team for the first time in his career, ended Baltimore Johnny Unitas' two-year grip on that position.

Van Brocklin previously had been voted on the UPI second all-pro team three times. Elected to the first team backfield along with Van Brocklin were halfbacks Paul Hornung of the Packers and Lenny Moore of the Colts and fullback Jimmy Brown of the Cleveland Browns. 1 Berry and Sonny Randle of the St. Louis Cardinals were chosen at the offensive end positions; Roosevelt Brown and Jim Parker of the Colts at tackles; Jim Ray Smith of the Browns and Stan Jones of the Bears at guards and Jim Ringo of Green Bay at center. On the defensive eleven were: ends Gino Marchetti of Baltimore and Doug Atkins of the Bears: tackles Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions and Henry Jordan of the Packers: i a George, Chuck Bednarik of the Eagles and Bill Forester of the Packers; halfbacks Tom Brookshier of Philadelphia and Dick Lane of Detroit, and safetymen Jerry Norton of St.

Louis and Jim Patton of New York, There were 9 repeaters from the 1D59 UPI all-league team: Berry, Parker. Smith, Ringo and the two Browns on offense, and Marchetti, i George and Patton on defense. Roosevelt Brown and George now have been voted to every UPI I all-pro team since 1956. Jimmy Brown and Marchetti have been selected four straight while Berry, Parker and Patton have been honored three years in a row. For the first time, the voters were required to differentiate on their ballots between middle linebackers and outside linebackers.

The reason for this was to give better representation to the greater number of outside linebackers, who often labor with less publicity but perform an equally vital function in the defense. Jimmy Brown, who with Berry were unanimous choices on the 1953 team, was the second highest vote-getter this season. The development of the Packers' Jim Taylor as a standout fullback cut into Brown's vote. However, the Browns' bulldozer, who led the N.F.L. in rushing for a record fourth straight season.

still received 29 out of a possible 38 votes, Brown gained a total of 1,257 yards for an average of 5.8 yards in 215 rushes. Hornung set an N.F.L, scoring record of 176 points this season and averaged 4.2 yards per rush. He scored 15 touchdowns and kicked 41 straight conversions and 15 out of 28 field goal tries. Moore was sixth in pass receiving with 45 catches that gained 930 yards and produced 9 TD's. His rushing average was 4.1 yards per try.

Van Brocklin finished second among N.F.L. passers with 153 completions in 284 attempts for a 53.9 percentage, 2.471 yards and 24 touchdowns. He gained 8.7 yards per pass and was intercepted on only 6 per cent of his throws. He also was one of the league's leading punters. tage until the final two minutes.
