FOLRTEEN EVEMNG STATE JOI RNAU LiNTOLN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1941. MavBe LWron as Ted Carpenter, publicity man at Marquette, this is the first Tom Stidham story to reach Milwaukee. It concerns a neiffhbor- hood boy who approached Tom at Norman after the last Nebraska- Oklahoma Rame and asked: Stidham, do you think Nebraska could beat the Tom replied, jrive a helluva battle for one quarter. I promise you Buck Clipper Smith and Crowley top Notre Dame coach list AND C. Crime never pays.

A Minnesota hunter will vouch for that, according to the Minne- apolice Star Journal. Hunter borrowed a rifle from Hunter the owmer. Hunter borrowed it from B. Hunter violated the law and the gun was confiscated. Perturbed, Hunter attended the annual public auction of the department of conservation.

So did a representative of Hunter B. Neither knew the other. Both wanted the gun-to give back to Owner-Hunter A. Hunter upped the bidding to $51. Hunter representative gulped, quit.

Hunter gulped, paid. Hunter the owner, got his gun back. It was worth about $20. Vew man to be named bv March 1 Gene Tunney gets them in shape No hint given hy school head COLLEGE TRY. It matter what game Ed Weir plays, he goes all out.

Ed Stepp recalls a tennis doubles match in which he was partner, A short drop shot caught both of them out of poition but Weir went for it anyway. He did a combination swan dive and flying tackle, barely ticked the ball to turn it into a scratched lob. Ed sailed under the net and landed principally on his nose as the ball came down on the back of his head. HARD LUCK, When medals for hard luck are passed around, Waverly high basketball team should be remembered. With one of its beat basketball teams, and a chance to retire permanently the county cage won two legs on jumps an epidemic of scarlet fever in the Waverly community.

As a reaulL at a special meeting of the county activities association, permission was withdrawn for a Waverly team to enter the county tournament which started 'Tuesday night. The state board of health recommended the action. Jesse Correll, county superintendent announced. It was found impossible to change the dates of the tournament, because of conflicts with other high school activities. left us with but one Mr.

Sources clo.se to Notre Dame athletics Indicated the three top candidates for Layden's vacated coaching job are Lawrence T. Shaw of Santa Clara, Maurice Smith of Villanova and Jimmy Crowley. With Layden himself sitting in, Notre faculty board meets Friday to consider an almo.st endless list of men who had their first important football schooling under the late Knute Rockne. Their recommendations will be pas.sed on to Notre president, the Rev. Hugh who announced he will pick his man by March 1, in time to complete plans for spring practice.

Officially, there was no hint of who would replace I.Ayden. At 25 names bobbed up, however, in the first 24 hours after he resigned to become czar of the National Football league under a five year contract calling for a total salary of $100,000. Shaw Signs Pact. Shaw, Smith anti Crowley were mentioned most prominently, altho Shaw recently signed a new Santa Clara contract and salary at Fordham probably will top the $10,000 Notre Dame will offer. There were more coaches with rea.sons for not accepting than those available for duty.

In addition to coaching, the position demands a shrewd ad- mini.strator for the office of athletic director since Notre Dame has made it a policy to center both jobs on one man. One of the chief reasons Layden was selected by National league owners for the newly created office of commissioner was his expert handling of the business end of his athletic department. Stuhldreher Mentioned. Another who has had great success along the same lines is Harry Stuhldreher of Wisconsin, quarterback in the backfield which included Layden, Crowley and Don Miller. Stuhl- name was among tho.se mentioned, but he is established at Wisconsin and probably is not available.

Hunters puzzled over tax as it applies to different A letter from Eric Mueller and Harold Snyder of Kearney Indicates how out-state sportsmen look upon the proposal to levy a $15 tax on hunters using dogs.

Mr. Mueller and Mr. Snyder seek more information, thus: Dear Sir: Sorry to have to bother a busy man, but we would like a little information on a bill pending in the legislature. We own a couple of dogs. The one dog is so old, he has no teeth.

We want him to get old age pension so he can retire, he still enjoys going hunting with us, altho he does not retrieve or set birds. Now, the point is, will we have to pay tax on this poor old fellow The other dog is a young dog and we take him hunting, but he has no sense. He sets jackrabbits 4n place of pheastnts. We are opposed to paying a tax on him until he gets a few brains. Now we have another dog, who Is not a bird dog, but just a dog, yet he is a good hunter.

We want to pay a tax on him, but we just do it because he is no bird dog. What will we do? There js a lady in our town who has a white fuzzy dog, which she leads about on a huge chain. This dog is also a good bird dog, because he killed a canary. Now this woman and her dog live in town, and she owns a farm which she rnns from town. The question is, can she hunt free, if she pays a tax on her dog, or can she buy a license and let the dog liunt free? Now, get us wrong.

We think of objecting to this bill, but we feel that there should be an amendment to it. air fleet. He will be ordered to a active duty, Feb. 20th and goes to Lowry field, er, Colo. Burrus is a 2nd lieuten- BOB BUMUSS ant of infantry in the reserve.

DOBBINS. Class A teams will take over the court Wednesday night as the Lancaster County Activities association cage tourney enters its second day of play at the Ag college. Only two games are scheduled, Ray- mbnd facing Walton at 8 p. m. and Hickman meeting Panama at 9 Because of the scarlet fever epidemic at Waverly the state board of health and county medical authorities deemed it advisable that the defending champions withdraw from tournament play.

As a result of this decision Bennet drew a first round bye along with Malcolm. Two first round games in the Class division played Tuesday night were nip and tuck battles, each hard fought the full 32 minutes of play with the outcome generally in doubt until the final gun. The lower bracket was one-sided with Roca and Central winning handily. In the opening skirmish Firth decisioned Hallam, 23 to 21, breaking a 15-15 deadlock at the end of the third quarter to win. Rokeby won by three points over Denton, 28 to 25, in which Allen Fraas and Herb Oilp staged a scoring dual.

Roca spurted in the final quarter to easily defeat Cheney, 31 to 14, while Sprague-Martel (Central) trampled all over Davey to win, 26 to 15.
