Beyond this, Peterson explained that if the department attempted to feed all the birds it would cost $45,000 or $1,000 more than the entire revenue last year. This estimate was based on the fact that approximately 213,569 pheasants were killed in the 1935 open season, and if not nearly half the supply was exterminated at least 300,000 pheas- ants survived. At one peck of feed per bird during the winter at 60 cents @ bushel, this would involve $45,000, Wildcats Will Make Bid for Cage Crown Chicago, Dec. 28.—(7}—The shadow of the Northwestern darkhorse is fall- ing across the Big Jen baskethall championship track.

Canadiens Increase Lead in Hockey Loop New York, Dec. 28—(7)—With & little more than a third of the Na- tional Hockey league season com- pleted, the Montreal Canadiens still look like the best of the lot. The Flying Frenchmen not only in- creased their international division lead to seven points during the past week, but they made themselves the highest scoring team in the league. After whipping Chicago's Blackhawks 4-1 on Tuesday, the Canadiens came through Sunday night to wallop the champion Detroit Red Wings, 5-2. The New York Rangers regained the lead in the American section by beating Chicago, 1-0, in an exciting game. That put them a point ahead of the Red Wings, who had forged ahead by tieing Chicago Christmas night. The international division teams failed to settle their second-place ar- gument on Saturday when the Mon- treal Maroons conquered the New York Americans, 4-3, in overtime and Boston's Bruins turned back the To- ronto Maple Leafs, 2-1. These re- sults, reversing those of Tuesday’s games, again moved the Maroons up into a tle with the Leafs and Amerks. Flyers Hang Up Puck Record With 19 Wins St. Louis, Dec. 28.—(#)—The 8t.

Phelan Mourns Loss of Cruver Six Positions on Pitt First String Are Still Open to Speculation Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 28. — (7) — Pittsburgh and Washington began the final stages of practice Monday for the 22nd Pasadena Rose Bow! football game New Year's Day. The Washington Huskies, led by Coach Jimmy Phelan, trotted out on Brookside Field within the shadows of the huge Rose Bowl for their first practice on local soil after a week of conditioning at Santa Barbara. Pitt remained at its Arrowhead Springs hide-out at San Bernardino. Coach Jock Sutherland, continuing to juggle around for a starting line-up, said he would bring his squad here Thursdey morning and teke a light workout in the bowl. Six positions on the Pitt first string are open to speculation. The veteran Dante Dalletezze and sophomore ‘Walter Raskowski are battling for the right guard jobs; Don Hensley bobbed up to contest Heinie Adams’ center position; Tony Natisi rates an edge over Elmer Merkovsky at left tackle; John Chickerneo end John Michelo- gen seek the quarterback spot; the senior Bobby LaRue may give way to @ possible re-injured leg and Harold Stebbins for the right halfback post; and Frank Patrick, sighting a return to his fine 1935 form, is after the full- back job over Biil Stapulis. Phelan was still e trifle mournful over the loss of Al Cruver, his second best fullback, “We have only eight backfield men, two for each position, and if injuries go beyond the second combination ‘we'll be sunk,” he said, Only six men understand the latest mathematical theory of the universe— just the fellows to balance the bud- get. Siberia is furnishing America with the newest types of drouth resisting wheat, East-West Foes End Heavy Work Jankowski, Parker, Drake and Kurlish Slated to Lug Ball for Easterners San Francisco, Dec. 28,—(?)—East- West players wound up heavy training Monday. The eastern all-stars team, which meets the West’s best senior players not engaged in other New Year's) games, planned two workouts Monday in Berkeley under Co-Coaches Dick {Hanley and Andy Kerr. Co-Coaches Orin “Babe” Holling- bery and Percy Locey began the single practices Sunday. After a brief workout, the squad was taken to Santa Clara, a nearby seaside resort, in a bus. The western coaches maintained their optimism, despite definite loss of Floyd Terry, Washington State end, who has a broken arm. The players who appear destined to carry the ball are Kent Ryan of Utah State and Ed Goddard of Washington State. Sam Francis of Nebraska and Ray Peterson, University of San Francisco, are being groomed to do the passing and kicking. The easterners worked out in the mud at Berkeley. Larry Kelley, Yale's All-American end, had no trouble énaring passes. ‘The eastern line has been practic- ting with Kelley and Merle Wendt of Ohio State, ends, and Ken Nelso, Illi- nois, alternating; Charlie Hamrick, Ohio State, and Nestor Henrio, Car- negie Tech, tackles; with Ken Relyea, Colgate, alternate; Nat Pierce, Ford- ham, and Steve Reid, Northwestern, guards, with Fred Ritter, Princeton, alternate; Cary Ray, Dartmouth, and Earl Svendsen, Minnesota, centers.
