ALL-STAR TRACK MEET PLANNED Meet Between Big Ten, Pacific (’oast Stars Is I Considered (Copyright 1937 by United Press! I Chicago, Feb. 25 (U.R) An all I star dual track meet between the i Big Ten and Pacific Coast conferences at Los Angeles. June 26, was forecast as a virtual certainty today by an unofficial poll of i western conference coaches. So fayoiable was the immediate reaction to the proposal that ten- I lative plans for staging the meet already were being mapped out. I If the meet Is a success, it was learned, It probably will he estab- ■ lished as an annual fixture. Meet sites would alternate be- • tween west coast and Big Ten ter- , ritorv. The competition would be ■ the first ever attempted between' two major college conferences. There appeared to be no hind- . rance to the initial meet since the Big Ten will have its star per- j formers on the coast for the an nnal national collegiate champion- • : ships, June 18-19, at Los Angeles. !, Participants would be selected ; on their showings in the two conference meets scheduled shortly, before the national champion- j ships. First, second and third place winners in each event and a . few other exceptional performers I would be on the intersectional | teams. 1 , Big Ten coaches were informed ' that any instructor qualifying two | or more men will have his expenses paid so as many contestants as possible will be in familiar hands. A coaching braintrust will have the final word. Three Big Ten coaches, rotated each year, will be selected on a board of strategy and an athletic director of a member > school will act as manager. The coast conference was expected to take similar action.

GAME BIRDS TO DELIBERATED 35,000 Quail And Pheasants Are Being Liberated In Indiana Indianapolis. Feb. 25 Liberation [of 35,0 0 quail and pheaaant a* breeding stock is under way 'throughout the state this week, Virnil M. Simmons, rcmmiiwlowr of the department of conservation, reported today. "Planting" of the birds In suitable areas is being (done by the division of fish and glime with the coop“rab!on of local clu. e. Distribution of the game birds, in'■hiding 31,000 Bob-White quail and 4 POU pheasants, is being made at thin time to relieve congestion at the Jasper-Pulaski and Wells County state game farm. W-Ith the mating season started, game farm facilities must be devoted to the birds held there as laying stock. Delivering of game birds. started during , the past week, will continue through March. By making the quail and pheasant plantings at this linif the birds will, have an opportunity to become ac- ’ climated before the mating season j is advanced. Another advantage is the opportunity for improving the native strain of birds ns quail and pheasant being released are uniformly strong and free from disease. Prior to starting the distribution this spring, inspections were made of all areas in which it was proposed to liberate birds. This inspect'on was to determine that local conditions were favorable as to food I cover and protection. Birds being released this spring will be on land | which is not closed to hunters. The division of fish and Game is keeping a record of all birds | planted this spring, listing the num-, ber of birds, the land on which they I are placed, the name of the owner or tenant and the club sponsoring I the liberation. The planting of 31,000 quail this [ spring is a ipart of the division of fish and ganie program inaugurated i two years ago. to increase the propagation of this popular game bird and improve quail hunting for Hoos- 1 ier sportsmen. Quail are found in all parts of the state and with pheasants widely distributed throughout Indiana, provided field sport which | attracts an increasing number of hunters. o | Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) ♦ ♦ Daytona Beach, Fla.. Feb. 25 — (VPi —Count me in. Boys' Let me know the dues, and a check for a life membership will be on its way to you by return air mail. •,’m talking to the gentlemen in Washington, who according to a letter 1 received this morning, have organized the American Wildlife in-' etitute, an organization whose sole aim is to “exert the maximum influence on state and national legislators for the restoration of wild life" I would have been with you before as a charter member if I had known there was such an institute. And before I forget it —is there any commission paid for getting new members? Because if there is, I’m on velvet. I must know ten thousand lovers of wildlife who'll jump at the chance to enroll under your banners and take a whack at your parties. You do have parties don t, you? Os course you do, because in the letter I got today you say you are go ng to have ond at the Jefferson hotel in St. Louis March 3. And that more than a thousand of the gang front all over the country will be there. Hot dog! That sounds as if it will be a Lulu. Let me know, will you, if every member is supposed to bring bls own stuff for the preservation of wild life at the party, or if there will be a committee to get things ready, with a settlement later. , x I want to commend you Washingtton fellows on picking St. Louis and the Jefferson hotel for the party. '.t's a sweet place, and we had a honey of a get-together there during the world series between the St- Louis Cardinals and the Detorit Tigers a few years ago. 1 bet you that some of the wild life we preserved is still there. One paragraph In your letter puzzles me a bit. You say: "Already in Missouri the restora- ! tion conservation federation, which I is affiliated with the General WildI life federation, has achieved the I record of putting through a state conservation amendment, concentrating power over all wildlife resources -in an appointive, non-tpartl-san, non salaried commission, with i jurisdiction over fish, game, forests, wildflowers and songbirds.” Now I can see why the Missouri boys wanted to make wildlife con- ! stitutional because you might as 1 well have the law on your side. Also why they chose a group of non-par-11leans. It Wouldn't be wise to have a group of biased fellows at the 1 head who would develop one form

But what about those fish, flowers. game, forests, and song birds? What have they got to do with It? Is it a peculiarity of Missourians that they have to l,e accompanied by an otter or a weeping willow, i when they go on a binge? I don’t! i think so. because 1 know quite a few Missourians who wouldn’t have an otter around at any time.

The strikers had been evacuated from the plant by stale police early yesterday. ‘ In the Detroit area, eight minor sit-down strikes continued.

"When the paychecks are ready." , Annis said, "I want you fellows to go in one at a time. If one goes in and doesn't come out. 1 don't want any more to enter the plant."
