"On Aug. 1, 1940, these stocks would thus amount to 713,000,000 bushels, which is a considerably larger total than the record figure of 1933, which was 576,000,000 bushels.

IN FINAL TILT Wolfpack Beats Spring Hill To Nose Out Choctaws In Loop Race BY JERRY BRYAN Loyola's Wolves finally followed the trail to Dixie Conference honors, winning their first championship last week by virtue of a 13-7 victory over hapless Spring Hill. The Pack had been slated in the past as strong contenders for the title and had been picked once or twice in recent years by dopesters, but it was not until this year they managed to cash in.

At that it was by a fotofinish Mississippi College, which lost its claim to a tie in a deadlock game with Chattanooga early in the season. The final standing shows three wins and a loss for Loyola and three wins, a loss and a tie for the Choctaws. Mississippi College wound up its schedule Saturday in a 14-6 victory over non-conference Oglethorpe at Dothan. Two other conference outfits closed their schedule last week in non-conference Millsaps eked out a 2-0 victory, over West. Tennessee Teachers, while Southwestern dropped a game to Centenary, 7-13, that tilt also being played on Saturday.

Plenty Of Turkey Spring Hill, playing Loyola in New Orleans on Roosevelt's Thanksgiving Day, will be home this week to play Louisiana College on Abe Lincoln's Thanksgiving Day. Loyola Texas plays Tech the same program meeting next Thursday. Two conference games also are scheduled on the second Thanksgiving Day with both being traditional battles. In Birmingham it will be the twenty-ninth annual meeting of Birmingham-Southern and Howard and the finale of the series with the Panthers discontinuing football. At Chattanooga the Moccasins meet an invading Mercer eleven, which had been figured in the running until Mississippi College and Howard plastered defeats on it.

Charley Armstrong, sparkplug of Mississippi College. wound up his campaign as scorer in the conference. taking the lead two weeks ago in a hot race by nosing out Jimmy Andrews, of Southwestern. Saturday Armstrong increased his total eight points to 38. However; the individual scoring not over yet, but the Choctaw vanade it tough on rivals.

Zobrosky, potent Howard halfback, and Gus Noojin, Birmingham-Southern's high scorer, both are in striking distance, the Bulldog having 24 points while the Panther has 21. Almost too far out of range are Kenny Morgan, of Howard, and Odie Strickland, of Spring Hill, with 18 and Don Barbee, of Chattanooga, and Art Pledger, of Mercer, with 17 each. The race has been one of the most open in history with every team being beaten but Southwestern, which played only two, games and is out of title consideration due to its abbreviated loop schedule. The lone defeat administered Loyola was dished out by Southwestern. Conference Standing (First figures in each column are for -conference games; others for all competition): Team W.

Birmingham's Alethia Wilson, winner of the "Gateway to Hollywood" semi-finals last night in the Jesse L. Lasky radio competition, and Bill Thornton, also of Birmingham, who will have his opportunity on the "Gateway" program Dec. 3, are shown above enjoying Thanksgiving dinner together in Hollywood-both feeling they have much to be thankful for this year since Dame Fortune, in the guise of Mr. Lasky, has whisked them to Movieland and opportunity of winning fame and fortune on the screen.

They there selected at auditions in the Birmingham Little Theater this Fall.

Breathless with excitement and "still feeling that it is all a the lovely brown-eyed Alethia received an ovation from the radio audience when Mr. Lasky called her to the mike last night after announcing the decision of the judges.

Evidently the audience was in accord with the judges, who, Mr. Lasky explained, made their choice on the basis of photogenic qualities, as well as performance. Birmingham friends of Alethia, who talked with Mr. Lasky during the Little Theater auditions here when Alethia was chosen to go to Hollywood to compete with other girls from 12 states for the opportunity of a movie career, recall that the famous producer, who has "found" many big stars, was enthusiastic over her "photogenic" I possibilities. Titian-haired Alethia, who looks like Myrna Loy, and who carried to Hollywood one of the best-looking pairs of brown eyes that ever gazed into a movie camera, will, if she wins the finals in the "Gateway to Hollywood" broadcast, be the second "Wilson" girl Birmingham has contributed to the screenand the second "Gail." Lois Wilson, Alethia's "movie ideal." for years has been one of the most loved stars in Hollywood.

And Gail Patrick, in six years, has skyrocketed to stardom the screen.

E. Church by Bishop David H. Sims, presiding bishop of the First Episcopal District. Bishop Sims created the position and made the appointment at the conference meeting last week after making a tour of Slossfield Community Center, Hillman and other points in Birmingham. The new department, the bishop pointed out, will coordinate the church with every movement having to do with the betterment of Negroes in Birmingham along lines of health, recreation and character building.

Also in Hollywood now for "Gateway to Hollywood" fling at a movie career is handsome, talented Bill Thornton, of Birmingham, who will be heard in the Dec. 3 broadcast.

When Dr. Joseph M.

Broady, pastor of the Sixth Avenue Presbyterian Church, preached a Thanksgiving sermon Sunday morning. he also urged his hearers to give thanks for individuals who have been leaders in church and other good works and for institutitions and invited all at the conclusion of this part of the service to gather on the lawn west of the main church auditorium. Here the assembly witnessed the unveiling of a plaque on the south wall corner of the Educational Building in memory of the late William Marshall Cosby, who died in 1936, and in honor of his widow, Mrs. Josephine Plosser Cosby, who, because of illness, was unable to attend. The Educational Building, by action of the board of the church.

some months ago was named the Cosby Memorial Building as a reminder of the services rendered by both, Mr. Cosby having served more than a half century as Bible class teacher and clerk of the session and also as chairman of the building committee for this present church and previous structures. It is also recalled that he also gave a $25,000 pipe organ to this church in honor of Mrs. Cosby, who for many years was organist and chairman of the music committee of this church. The dedication of building and unveiling of the plaque was impressive, with Dr.

Broady offering a prayer and leading in a dedicatory responsive service, which closed with "To the Prince of Peace, to a world brotherhood and a reign in which war shall find no place, we dedicate this building." Joyce Gaston, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Cecil Gaston, and James Morgan, son of Mr. and Mrs. B.

C. Morgan, two grandchildren of the honored couple, unveiled the bronze tablet, which bears the following inscription: "This building is set apart as a memorial in service to William M. Cosby and Josephine Plosser Cosby, members of this church, stewards of its resources and ever active in making effective its ministry.

NEW YORK -(AP)- As far as Eddie Brietz is concerned, the football season is over, and he's glad of it. Brietz, author of a widelyread sports column, good-naturedly challenged his fans to pick 10 winners out of 10 games he listed -it was all in fun, and no award for the winner except a chance to get his name in the paper.

The reaction was overwhelming. By the night before the week games, his desk was piled with 2,112 letters (he counted 'em). When game time rolled around Saturday, there were more than 2,500. Belated arrivals brought the total somewhere around the 3,000 mark. A Birmingham girl, Miss cuth Thompson, is leading with nine winners out of the 10 games.

The pickers came from every walk of life- from church bishops to corner butchers, from a 9-year-old boy to a 90-year old; from a college student and his sweetheart to fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, bank presidents and railroad executives. Even a Kansas City bridge club took time out between rubbers to mark their slips. No one, least of all Eddie, was prepared for the avalanche, but with rare good humor he dug in to peruse them. Brietz offered his first challenge "just for the fun of it" three weeks ago and climaxed it with the tuffies" last week. The response from 43 states, the District of Columbia and Canada caused Eddie to promptly declare "never A member of The Associated Press staff since 1929, Brietz 18 one of the most widely-read sports writers in the country, His daily column is famous for its bright humor and general newsiness.
