One Man's Opinion By WALTER KIERNAN Contributed By International News Service The next few days will be devoted to proving (1) that the elections established the trend for 1950 and (2) that they did no such thing. O'Dwyer of New York was one of the few candidates to postpone marriage until after election others put off the usual things such as retirement or looking for work. But it is kind of surprising that O'Dwyer did not marry during the campaign there is no better time to whisper sweet nothings. And no time they will be less apt to be remembered two weeks later. But looking around the country it appears that the usual proportion of honest men (our candidates) and thieves (the other fellow's candidates) got in.

If it isn't one thing it's another. we're just through with elections and along comes Thanksgiving and another choice of turkeys. 'By-Laws' For Hunters Passed At Joint Meet A joint meeting of the Randolph County Fish and Game association and the Randolph County Conservation council was held Tuesday night in the basement of the J. C. Penney store in Winchester, with a set of rules planned for members to follow during the hunting season which opens Thursday.

Rules set 110 at the joint meeting Tuesday night are as follows: Use good, comon sense in the fields. Don't hunt on a farm without permission. Use a gate whenever possible.

Don't climb a fence except at a good, strong post. Don't cut a fence for a dog; if the dog is any good he will climb over the fence without help. Don't shoot game you do not expect to eat. Don't shoot if it would endanger stock. Give the farm owner or tenant some of the "bag." Treat the farmers as you would want to be treated.

The rules were signed by Bob Stebleton, of the Wa-Jac consercation club; Bob McHolland, of the Lynn club; LeRoy Stephens, of the coon hunter's club; Bill Gordon. of the Carlos club, and Bob Jackson, of the Randolph County Fish and Game association. 78-Year-Old Senator From Kansas Dies After Fall Down Stairs Parsons, Nov. 9-(INS) -U. S.

Sen. Clyde Martin Reed of Kansas, prominent midwest Republican legislator renowned for his congressional work in behalf of the nation's farmers, died last night in his Parsons home. The 78-year-old second term senator suffered a fatal heart attack in a fall down a flight of stairs. Dr. Guy Cramer, the family physician, said Reed had been under treatment for some time for a heart condition and was recuperating from a recent attack of influenza.

The senator had been released last Thursday from a Parsons hospital where he had been confined for a week. Reed, recognized as a freight rate expert, fought continuously for lower freight rates on farm products and also was acknowledged to be an authority on other farm problems. He was editor and publisher of the Parsons Sun since 1910 and retained guidance of the newspaper during his senate tenure, with his son, Clyde Martin Reed, serving managing editor. Reed, a progressive Republican, drew loyalty from ranks that surpassed political bounds. During the late Franklin D.

Roosevelt's successful campaign for the presidency in 1932, he helped Mr. Roosevelt map out a farm program upon request, The Union City Times-Gazette, SPORTS U. C. Wildcats Show Power In 58-25 Contest It was Union City all the way Tuesday night in the West Side gymnasium as the revamped Wildcats of Harry Allison opened their 1949-50 season by overwhelming the underdog Wayne Tigers by a 58 to 25 margin. Supporting the Wildcat team was an enthusiastic student cheering section and a large crowd of parents and other Union City boosters.

The new Wildcat cheerleaders made impressive demonstrations which were aided by music of the West Side pep band. Delving into the cage records it is noticed that the 58 points scored by Union City last night is tops for a Wildcat offensive attack in recent years. The records, which date back to the 1941-42 season, list a previous high of 54. Both teams played fast and furious during most of the, contest, with Union City taking the upper hand in the last three periods. Wayne used a zone defense while the West Side maneuvered with a man-to-man defense.

The Wildcats set up numerous plays and executed several with perfection. The small but fighting Wayne players featured teamwork. The 'Cats showed improvement over last year's team in under-thebasket and tip-off plays. Union City scored the greater majority of its points from close range, using its height to great advantage. The faulty passing and dribbling of the Wildcats gave several opportunities to the Tigers.

The Tigers continuously attempted field goal conversions but failed to find the range of the meshes. Not once did either team resort to roughness or unclean playing. The first stanza was nip-andtuck with both squads feeling out the other team's defensive and offensive tactics. After the Wildcats settled down, their height, outstanding teamwork and scoring ability made it evident that Union City was out to notch its initial victory. Most of the Wildcat offensive punch came in the last quarter when the 'Cats outscored the Tigers 24 to 7.

Bob Evans, with 13 points, and Goethe Chambers, with 10, paced the Union City attack but were followed closely by Rodney DeBolt and Garner Cox. Best for Wayne were Alex Torres with seven and Lowell Conklin and Jim Welch with five each. Kittens Win The Wildcats were not the only West Side team that did well in the season's opener, for in the curtain raiser the Kittens defeated the Wayne seconds by a 31 to 18 score. The Kittens played a good offensive game but did not gain a comfortable margin until the last stanza when they outscored the visitors by nine points. Players on both sides traveled several times, used passwork frequently and had a lot of pep.

Gullett was best on the Union City attack with nine points. Blizzard was high for Wayne with six.

Jefferson won, 40-28. Paced by last year's free throw champion, Jim Harris, and veteran Jim Hummel, the big team had a rough time trying to take a win away from the smaller Ridgeville crew until Harris sunk a few from the field in the last quarter to run up a working margin. The score was close all the way through the game until Harris "got the urge." Big Jim was responsible for 17 points, followed by Jim Hummel with 10. This was Jeff's second win in three starts.

Yorktown went into an early lead and was on top 11-3 at the first stopping point. From then on it was Yorktown all the way. The visitors used nine players with eight of them hitting the scoring colum. Stoney Creek's Demoine Baldwin hit 12 points to lead his team. Yorktown also took the preliminayr, 25-23.

Miners' Trustee FAIR OR FOUL By LAWTON CARVER INS Sports Editor Farmland Takes 43-36 Setback From Hagerstown It took Johnny Bond and 1 the entire Hagerstown lineup to do it, but the Hagerstown Tigers took a 43-36 decision away from Farmland Tuesday night at Hagerstown to give Coach Link Lykins' Randolph county team its second setback in three starts. Although Hagerstown led at the intermission, 22-16, Farmland's King scored eight of his ten points in the next eight minutes to bring Farmland back into the ball game with a tied score at the end of the quarter. Hagerstown's Johnny Bond took a lot of the responsibility for stopping Farmland, shooting in 17 points. All but one of Bond's points came as the result of push shots from the corner.

King led Farmland with 10 points, receiving a lot of help from his teammates. The home team also won the opener, 22-16.

The Wolves played big Huntsville Redmen to a 40-39 game. Coach Kermit LaGrange's Huntsville team is expected to place well up in the Big 18 standings this season, by virtue of several welltrained veterans, while Lincoln, quite possibly, has been underrated. Although Huntsville led all the way, the game actually was won at the free throw line, with Huntsville converting an amazing 12 of 15 tries while Lincoln hit less than 50 per cent. The contest was close all the way, with Huntsville holding a slight edge at the stopping points.

than the Spartanburg Tomcats, it hasn't shown yet. Coach Howard Rust's Tomcats dropped another of those close games which they have been turning up, this time to the undefeated Whitewater Bears. Final score was 51-46, played at Spartanburg Tuesday evening. The Randolph countians lost out in the last two minutes. With the count knotted at 45-45 after six minutes of the last period, a Whitewater player sank a fielder and another of the visitors put through four charity tosses to take away the ball game.

Stuckey, Jordon and Mar Del Robbins starred for the Tomcats, with Stuckey's 16 points high for the evening. Spartanburg took a double-overtime win in the preliminary. Summary: Whitewater (51) FG. FT. TP.

Ketron, f. 3 Skinner, f. 15. York, Nov. 9--(INS)-Edward Krause, the director of athletics at Notre Dame, is now on record as saying that Notre Dame has no schedule problems in football, and he may be right.

Somehow it just doesn't look that way. If they would have you believe, for example, that the break with Tulane through of was merely negotiations a on falling- both sides, and nothing else, why they may be absolutely right. I would say offhand, though, that it looked peculiar coming as it did in the form of an announcement from Tulane three days after Notre Dame had smashed the socks off Tulane on the football field. If Notre Dame has no schedule problems, why aren't the Irish playing a game every year in New York the way they want to do? This Saturday's game with North Caroline is the first game in a two-year agreement which will take the 1950 game to South Bend. So, pending announcement to the contrary, Notre Dame hasn't been in New York since the last Army game in 1946 and won't be in New York again for some time after this year.

There was some talk about an arrangement with Fordham, but the people at Fordham don't seem to think any such arrangement. can be seen in the immediate future. Army won't play Notre Dame, and there seems to be no negotiations with Columbia. That leaves maybe Brooklyn college. The only solution, therefore, is for Notre Dame to make deals whereby it brings teams like North Carolina into New York.

That's all right. A lot of people don't mind it any more than they minded the long Notre Dame-Army series at Yankee stadium. Many people are down on Army because the Cadets no longer play Notre Dame, and because they play what is actually a soft schedule. People say look at Navy. Earl Blaik, the army coach, has looked at Navy.

"I see where they've won three games in three years," he "What Navy does is Navy's business. But at West Point our Cadets are working 16 hours a day, and nine tough games would be too much on a football schedule. "As it is, we played Michigan this year and then we played Harvard. Harvard looked good in preseason calculations. Is it Army's fault they didn't measure up?" It isn't Army's fault, of course, any more than it's Notre Dame's fault that North Carolina has lost two games.

People come to expect great opponents for. great football teams, and when a team like Notre Dame cannot meet army, Oklahoma, and California all in the same season, they howl about schedule The fact is, Notre Dame could be playing Army this year except that Army wouldn't play. The game would have been a natural. If that isn't a schedule problem, what would you call it? Big 18 Records STANDING Pet.

C. L. A. Olympians Lose To Knickerbockers; First Defeat In League By International News Service It didn't take long for those exKentucky Wildcats- now the Indianapolis Olympians--to catch up with their first National Basketball association defeat. The Ilympians were spanked, 79 to 64, by the New York Knickerbockers last night.

It was only the second start for the Olympians, who trailed after the opening minutes of the second quarter. Carl Braun of the Knicks temporarily took over the association scoring lead with 14 points last night for a six-game total of 93. Joe Fulks of the Philadelphia Warriors has 92 in two fewer games. Braun's output last night was topped by both Alex Groza of Indianarolis, with 18, and Paul Noel of New York, with 15. In a duel between two undefeated teams, the Minneapolis Lakers edged the Washington Capitols, 68 to 66.

The Lakers nearly blew the contest in the third quarter but came back to nip the Caps in the stretch. Tonight's league program is topped by a Chicago double-header pitting Rochester against the Chicago Stags and Tri-Cities against Anderson.

(International) Uncle Sam Says $100 Gold Fever Grips California Town As Possible Strike Made Castaic, Nov. 9 -(INS)Gold fever gripped Castaic today.

Only the favorable report of a Bakersfield assaying laboratory is needed to turn the fever into a gold rush reminiscent of the days of '49. The possible strike was made behind the Screwball cafe, only a mile from Palomas canyon where there was wild activity in 1849 and where a nugget worth $2400 at today's price was found in the 1880s. The magic wordto run through the community when yellow flakes of metal were brought up from a well being drilled behind the cafe. Charles Allen, the cafe owner and former prospector; John O. Royal, the cafe manager; Bob Contreras, a veteran prospector, and Tommy Adkins, began panning for gold immediately.

Royal found a ounce piece of yellow metal which several oldtime prospectors said withstood sulphuric acid tests and "hammered out like gold." Allen, Royal, contreras and Adkins hurried to the Los Angeles hal of records, 45 miles away, to file claims. Allen, who has an option on the property, said the metal first appeared when the well was about 150 feet down. He added: "There was enough in each bucket of muck to fill a quarter of an inch in the bottom of a water glass." Accuses the U. S. THE U.
