The Maryland coach then told university athletic officials dnd police. | Glickfield tried out three times, for the Terrapins’ football team, quitting twice and being cut from the squad once.

Yellow Jackets To Close Grid Season i Here This Evening The Decatur Yellow Jackets will wind up their football season tonight. meeting the Fort Wayne Central Tigers at Worthman field at 7:30 o’clock. i The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but was changed to avoid conflict with Halloween celebrations here?, The Jackets will be seeking their fifth victory of the season;, while Central hopes to snap a four-game losing streak. L Circuit Court Term To Close Saturday Court In Vacation J Period Os Two Weeks The September term of the Adams circuit court closes': Saturday. ringing down the curtain on an extremely busy term with some very interesting and unusual cases. For instance, a young Cherokee Indian Bush Miller, was committed to Richmond for being hieutally unbalanced, The court was confronted whh\a number of problems: MIE ler was an Indian and therefore not a citizen, merely a ward of the United States. After some cross-country telephone calls, the circuit court, it was decided, had proper jurisdiction in the matter and Miller was committed. At least 12 children were adopted here hi the county,, it has been repotted by the court. Judge Myles F. Parrish said the trend seems to be upward in the matter of adoptions,, especially by couples unable to have any Jof their own. There were some 20 insanity proceedings in the September term. Many, many divorces came up and at least three were refused. Judge Parrish reports that it has been his policy to make parties to a diyorce prove absolutely that divorce is the only remedy to their marriage, and, therefore, said the. judge, though many cases were heard, the number Is steadily decreasing, \ i Believed to be the’ first case involving a sex dharge on a German DP, Manfred Heinz Rumpel of Berne, brought here three years ago by a Berne family, was adjudged. a criminal sexual physycopathic and committed to Richmond. By far thd gaudiest ease in the ’September term, and one with? the most serious implications, in the Opinion of the court, is the case of the Jehovah's Witnesses against the city board of zoning appeals.

! The ijmport of the matlef lies in the religious aspects of the case, since in America there is a strict line ; in religious- matters past which state or local rule may not cross. It is alleged that the line has been crossed and the court must; rule on it. Judge Parrish elated he realized it was a heavy decision he: had to make and he would use: the two weeks between terms to consider h final deeree.y!. , The November term of court openjs on November 17 and \pifomises, according to the docket, to have a number of hectic days.' J ' The Adams county grand jury Will be called, according to law if jhust be called at ‘ least once a year? tq inspect all legal processes dming the year and to affirm hat the prober procedures were t ied in auy and all jailings during the year. | I A juity trial will be heard concerning .the state against Vernal C. Grubbs. The state alleges that] Gnxhbs, a soldier, robbed JessC\E. Plasterer of money and his car at the point of a guii. The formal charges sire: vehiclb ■ taking, commission of a crime with a deadly weapon, land grand larceny. A week and a half has been set aside for the trial. ADLAI LAUDS (< onti»u*4 From Page One) lem,"! and said that he has ; not “prorftised any easy way out." If we persist in our efforts, build our strength, and stand ready to negotiate On a basis, of principle and good will, he said, the nation could work towaid “a peaceful world." Stevenson said it was to this approach that he is dedicated. Stevenson said in Philadelphia Wednesday flight the Republicans were using (he Korean issue in a desperate bid to win next Tuesday’s election, lie predicted to a crowd of more than 17,000 at convention half'the GOP strategy would fail and the Pemocrais would win the pr?e«ideney the siikth Straight time. Stevenson said (ith- Dwight li. Eisenhower's proposal to go to Korea personally and seek an end to the wir, if elected, was part of a Republican party plan to divide arid “contuse"- the American people. ' ( . He denounced ft as a J’slick idea” and a ‘’cynical search tor Votes which will neither solve our problems nor wih the ctectibn.” He added that the plan would “destroy bur chances for an early peace” in Korea. “The Kjoreap war is part of a linger struggle."

Act To Curb Late Season Waiver Deals NEW YORK UP - The major league executive council's recommendation. that> late-season interleave waiver transactions be curtailed brought | frosty but dignified ; response the New York Yankee* today., The recommendation, announced by commissioner >ord Frick, would require top to-bottom waivers in both leagues before a player cOuld bo transferred from one league to the other after July 31. The recommendation, appeared to be aimed directly at the world* champions; who: acquired Johnny tyize, Johnny Hopp, Johnny Sain and Ewell Blackwell from National league clubs fate during the four seasont. • ' ‘ T “We have always lived by the rules passed at major league meetings.” said general manager George Weiss of |he Yankees. “And we will live up to any rules passed at this one.” It ’was believed, however, that the Yankees would vote against the new proposal and might eVen attempt to organize resistance to it at the winter meetings which will convene at Phoenix. 1 * Ariz., Jate next The rule, under which the Yankees obtained Mize, Hopp, Sain and Blackwell enabled the National league club with which the Yankees dealt to sell the playbr to the highest bidder in the American league * once the seven N.L. clubs had waived on him. In each case, the Yanee* proved to be the highest bidde? and acquired important, ifsnot decisive, help in their pennant drives. Under the rule 4iow- proposed, any club in .the; American league could block* the transfer of Hie transfer of the player to the lea-gue-leading team by claiming him at tlie slo.(llrt)'waiver price. Frick also announced three oth : er major'rpcommendations: 1. That the option rule be tightened. The proposed rule would a club With an option if a player sent/to\a minor league club appeared at all /in its lineup. Under the present-rule, a big league club is not. charged with an Option until the player remains 30 days, with? the minor league team. 2. That 'restrictions be placed on bonuses to young players which would make unlikely the huge cash outlays* of the past few yea|rs. There wouW be no ceiling enforced, however.' 3. That big leagpe clubs be permitted to carry one returning serviceman for every three players on their roster, The present ratio is'ine serviceman for «very fiive players on la roster. struggle is from Moscow —the men in Moscow are not yet ready for ari armistice.” Stevenson said the Kremlin is\ deeply interested in the election campaign in the United States and have heard ”‘the Republican candidate saying one thing, then another, about the Korean wah” “They JuifVe heard the sounds of disunity.” said, adding that disunity* gives the Soviets a “better chance for terms they have not won on the battlefield.’’
