State to Build Largest Fish Hatchery In US HARRISBURG, Oct. Gov.

James H. Duff disclosed the commonwealth Is "well advanced" in plans for establishment of what he said will be the largest fish hatchery in the country. The hatchery, located on a state game refuge near Linesville, Crawford county, will be devoted exclusively to warm water fish, the governor told his news conference. He explained the 88 acres of ponds and land just off Pyma-tuning lake were being planted with large and small bass, catfish, sunflsh, yellow perch and suckers, adding: "But we're not going to distribute flngerllngs all, of the fish will be legal, catchable size." Most of the warm water fish, Duff asserted, will be planted in larger streams in Pennsylvania, including the Susquehanna and Allegheny rivers. When completed, the hatchery will be the largest natural fish hatchery anywhere in the United States, the governor said "It is going to be devoted exclusively to warm water fish." Most of the state's fish propagation efforts in the past have been to aid cold water fish, such as trout.

Former Pitt Star Gridder Named Wesleyan Coach MIDDLETOWN, Oct. 9 (JP) John L. Wood, freshman and assistant varsity basketball coach since 1941, today was named head basketball coach at Wesleyan university, succeeding Norm J. Daniels who held the post since 1944. A former star football player on the University of Pittsburg team that played in the Rose Bowl in 1937, Wood came to Wesleyan in 1940 as an assistant football and basketball coach under head Coach Wes Fesler.

Roosevelt had its scoring chances capitalized by John Le-pore who scored the winners' two touchdowns. Hooper added the extra point with a line plunge. Lepore scored the first touchdown in the second quarter after he darted out around his own right end for 20 yards and a goal crossing. The second score came midway in the third stanza when Lepore intercepted a Whitfield to Brubaker pass on his own 35-yard mark and raced 65 yards to score.

It was In this period that Hooper scored the extra point. Both team used very few air plays. The most of the work was down on the ground with numerous kicks being practiced on both sides. In fact, the game was so tight that there were only seven first downs in the game and Hollidaysburg had four of them. The lineups: Pos.

Senators Hire Magician; Joe Kuhel Steps Up Bv ARTHUR EDSOX WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 UPi The Washington Senators today sought a way out of their seventh-place troubles by hiring a magician for their manager. Joe Kuhel, who does card tricks and is a member of the Society of American Magicians, signed a one-year contract. He follows Ossie Bluege, who this week was given the job of running the Senators' farm clubs.

In the 17 years Kuhel was in the majors he established himself as one of the finest fielding first basemen in baseball. And he isn't entirely without managerial experience. He spent four months last summer managing the Hot Springs, club in the Class C. Cotton States League. He took over the club on May 28, when it was sixth and last in the league, and managed to pull it up a notch higher, to fifth place.

Kuhel divided his big league time between the Senators and the Chicago White Sox. The Senators saw him first, in 1930. when he hit .372 for Kansas City. They were so impressed they worked out 565,000 for Kuhel. That's the most the Senators ever paid for a player.

In 1938, he was swapped to the White Sox for slow-footed Zeke Bonura. But he came back to Washington in 1944, and then returned to the White Sox last year. They sent him down to manage their Hot Springs club, but released him when Clark Griffith, Senator president, said he wanted Kuhel to be head man here. And so Griffith keeps his old policy. There was talk that Griffith might go after an establish- By AUSTIN BEALMEAR NEW YORK.

Oct. 9 UP) Off on another spin through the weekly football forecast, batting .812 on 108 correct predictions and 25 misses for two previous trips on the jerky merry-go-round: Illinois vs. Army Seems a shame, but that Army string can't go on forever. The (Illini have one of the country's best backs in Perry Moss as well as superior depth. The Cadets' string of games without defeat stands at 30, and in newspaper language that means "the end." The nod goes to Illinois.

Oklahoma vs. Texas It was the sooners who took some of the starch out of the Texas sails a year ago. The Oklahoma line might give the Longhorns trouble on the ground, but how are you going to stop Bobby Layne when he takes to the air? One confident vote for Texas. Notre Dame vs. Purdue After upsetting Ohio State, Purdue might make a game of it if Bob DeMoss gets his throwing arm in shape by kickoff time.

Even then, the Boilermakers aren't the ones to halt the country's No. 1 powerhouse. Cast the usual ballot for Notre Dame. Mississippi vs. Vanderbilt Here are two of the season's surprises.

A Vanderbilt team that tripped Northwestern and Alabama appears good enough to top Ole Miss, with wins over Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina. Despite that conerly-poole combination, the call is Vandy." COLUMBIA OVER YALE Yale vs. Columbia With Yale's Levi Jackson and John Roderick scheduled to sit this one out and the Columbia cripples on the mend, it looks like the Lions have the edge. One shaky vote for Columbia. California vs.

Wisconsin in their first season under Lynn Waldorf, the Bears already have won more games than they took all last year. Waldorf isn't returning to his old neighborhood just to visit. California. Georgia vs. Kentucky By slugging Louisiana State last week, the Bulldogs suggested that the loss to North Carolina was all a mistake.

They're on their way to another southeastern title. Georgia. DUKE OVER NAVY Duke vs. Navy Up to now, the Middies look like a carbon copy of last year's much-beaten outfit. No other choice here Duke.

Pittsburg vs. Michigan Another romp for the wolverines, who are pushing Notre Dame for top national recognition. Michigan. Wake Forest vs. North CarolinaIf the Tar Heels can't bounce back here, they'd better call the dogs and put out the fire.

But in the end Griffith decided, as he always has, that a former i Washington player makes a good Washington manager. Bucky Harris, Joe Cronin, Wal- ter Johnson, Clyde Milan and Bluege all moved up from player to manager here. O-O-H!

The astute Scot, boss of the Plttshurc Stealers of the Nat ional Football league, ig one of the few big-time coaches who has refused to tV.e to although he's had force-feeding with two lumps this year. After two straight lickings from formations brewed by the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Redskins, the wise-itm vmvpd the Steelers' Suth erland system was "old-fashioned." "We're a step behind the this year," Jock said, adding fiuirklv "hut I rnean that in ap plication to speed, not style of play. Our pass defenders too frequently have fallen a step or a half step behind the receivers on those pass plays. That slowness would be fatal even lr me opposition used the flying wedge. "It's not the system.

It's the way it is employed. A little speed just a step or two of the right time would have meant victory for us in the Washington game (27-26) and a consicieraoie different score against the Rams (48-7, the worst defeat a Sutherland team ever has Last year the Steelers were nrtacularKr successful in mak ing their foes' a weak brew.

Nov. 10, Baseball Commissioner A.

B. Chandler announced late today. Walter W. Mulbry, secretary-treasurer of baseball, said' notices of the meeting were sent to National and American League officials today. Mulbry said it would be "possibly three weeks" before the lists of "several hundred" minor league players eligible for draft by major league clubs would be announced.

The lists are being prepared in the commissioner's office, he added. Under rules, the St. Louis Browns, last-place club in the American League in 1947, would get the first "pick." As the New York Giants, who finished last in the National League in 1946, got first choice at last year's draft meeting. In accordance with rules, Mulbry said, the club getting second choice will be "determined by lot" in some manner, to be announced by the commissioner, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg since they finished in a tie for eighth place in the National League. Under normal procedure, the selection sequence after last-place clubs of both leagues made their choices would be seventh-place club of the American League, seventh-place club of the National, and alternately up through both leagues to the pennant win-, ners.

In the initial "pick" last year, the New York Giants took Jack Lohrke, who starred at third base for Mel Ott's team during the season just past. TODAY SAT.
