Jan Plans for one of the biggest homecomings in the history of Wingate Junior college are rapidly nearing completion The date et for Saturday February Climaxing the events will doubleheader basketball game CRITICIZED RULE McKeen whose undefeated Miss- issippi State Maroons won the 1941 Orange Bowl crown said recently the new rule was "one of the worst" ever adopted and predicted it would help big schools as much or more than little ones promote play-by- play quarterbacking from the bench and annoy the fans by slowing the game "As far as that observed Alexander "you could substitute quarterbacks with instructions last year The only thing was that you needed three where now you could do it with two I think the rule is a distinct advantage to amall schools which have only one aubstitute for each position most of the critics are overlooking is that you still can substitute only when the ball is dead Sometimes a game goes five or six minutes without the watch stopping If you go throwing substitutes in there be charged a time-out every time and right quick you'll be getting five-yard penalties for excessive time-outs "It's like any other rule got to wait and aee how its works" coached for Uie four lessons The former Kansas State football and track performer la five years younger than any other football coach Jfi the mile-high conference and will take over at the

defeated the Camden horseshoe pitchers Hilton was high point man for Bethune with 18 point Moore led for Camden with 16 Cowboy Luttrall is certain to strive mightily to strip the cover- inf from the face of the Black Sec- ret realising that if he does unmask the mystery man the feat will bring down the house Cowboy will find Is tU MAtlAl Mia 9 AMAIIWfl himself in the novel role of crowd favorite just as he was when he unmasked the Golden Terror All other tmes Cowboy has been the target for Jibes and Jeers but the fans never could stand a man with a mask Cowboy had the mask more than hplf off the face of the Purple Flash but the manager himself hooded leaped into the ring and engaged Cowboy long enough for the Flash to scramble out of the ring and readjust his mask DIFFERENT TACTICS The Luttrall will employ different tactics than Ray Villmer who won the third and deciding bout from the Black Secret last week It was agreed before the match that the shoulders must be pinned the mat in two of the three falls efore he would be forced to refs his mask The two were bat-ng on even terms each having won a bout when the gong signaled expiration of the time limit and Villmer was given the nod The mask left the ring still a secret while the mat bugs yelled "how come?" It Is quite safe to predict that Cowboy depend on pinning the strong and clever unknown but will peak to tear the mask off the more spectacular way Cowboy a master Special to The Observer CAMDEN Jan

an indoor miler until he came here for the meet two weeks ago He finished that race 10 yards behind Munski as the latter gained hia fourth straight major mile victory with a 4:144 effort When they again matched strides last night both were primed for the occasion Mehl took command when Becaili started to wilt on the eighth lap and then fought grimly to hold off Munski The latter came so fast off the final corner that he was only Inches behind when Mehl breasted the tape One win did not convince the experts that Mehl was Munski's superior but it provided ground for expecting that the two atari would nliven the current indoor season with a long series of miles such as Cunningham provided until he retired 18 ALEXANDER IN EVEN BREAK UNION MILLS Jan 26-Bcfore one of the largest crowds in
