Eight County Teams To Open Grid Campaigns Gridiron activity throughout Cass county will move into high gear this week with the open i:fj of schools throughout the county. Three eleven man teams, and five six man teams will see action. Locally Coach Merle Stewart plans heavy scrimmage activity after week end rains threw a block into his scrimmage plans. Plattsmouth gridders will hit a fast pace throughout this week in preparation for the opener against Auburn on September 12. Stewart also anticipates in creased activity throughout the reserves and freshmen teams as new candidates report with the start of school. Louisville also has a Septem ber 12 day in eleven man ball. , The Lions will meet Westside j in their opener. In their second year under the tutoring of Coach Darrell Brandenburg, the Lions are moving into the blue ribbon division in Class C.

The Orioies appear the favorite in the Cass County Conference. Elmwood and Eagle will prob ably battle for the number two spot in the conference with darkhorse Nehawka capable of moving ahead of either team. Union appears to be the weak est of the five county teams but is expected to show im provement over its season last year.

Returning lettermen are Ken Dobbs and Don Dobbs, ends, Den Headley and Pat Kennedy, Jerry Partridge, tackle and guard; Ron Reveillac, Larry Welton and Eugene Zeorian, tackles; Larry Robbins and Dick SchoenDner, guards. Brandenburg expects the let- termen to carry the load in the eight game schedule set up for the Lions. He's counting heavily on Don Headley as his offensive weapon and will rely on ex perience in the line. Among other candidates re porting for grid activity, Coach Brandenburg lists Bill Work man.

Drouth Cattle Not To Affect Price In State Cattle coming into Nebraska stockyards from the drouth states will have slight effect on the price of feeders here this fall. That's the opinion of Agricul tural Economist Norrls J. An derson of the University of Ne braska. The economist says that few good quality feeders have come to Nebraska markets from drouth areas. Most of the drouth cattle arriving here, he adds, are of poor quality. He says that any price weak ness which may develop for feeders will be more the' result of an earlier and heavier run from grass to stockyards and feedlots. There will be between 5 and 10 per cent more than last year. In addition, the economist says, there are about 16 percent more cattle now in feedlots than at the same time in 1951. Mr. Anderson says some com mission men at Omaha believe that prices for good to choice feeders will run between $25 and S30 this fall. The common to good feeders, he says, will sell for S25 and under.

Dove Season To Open September 1 Bag Limit 10 The popular and often used rod and reel takes a back seat beginning Monday, Sept. 1 as Nebraska's first major hunting season of the year doves gets under way one-half before sun rise. Dove hunters have until sun set to take their bag limit of 10 birds. The entire state is open during the Sept. 1-30 season. Possession limit is 10 birds. Bill Cunningh'am, supervisor of law enforcement for the Ne braska Game Commission, has this reminder for dove hunters: "Tt is illegal to shoot game birds, including doves, from a vheicle, from the highway or Vvim a rnie. Cunningham cautions nunt- ers that "all shotguns used in hunting doves must be plugged to a total capacity of three shells in tne magazine ana nr ing chamber combined. A load ed gun, incidentally, is a gun having shells in either the chamber or magazine.'' Most sportsmen take doves by pass shooting. The prime pass shooting areas are ravines or valleys in wheat stubble fields, in of or around dead trees, patches wild hemp or ragweed and open streams or ponds of wa ter. A very small minority shoot doves off of wires. This is not only a lack of sportsmanship to shoot game birds while on the "sit," such as on telephone and light wires, but is also extreme ly dangerous and can cause se vere damage to power and com munications systems. And such hunting and damage can result in prosecution. Dove hunters are urged not to shoot near or around build ings, whether occupied or not. Deer Hunting Applications Up More than one thousand ap plications for deer permits were received by the Nebraska Game Commission the past week, sky rocketing the total number of applicants for each type of per mit to 2,248 for bucks and 1,560 for does. Only a few days remain be fore the application deadline. No applications postmarked aft er Aug. 30 can be accepted. The drawing to determine the holders of the 1,500 buck per mits and the 1,000 doe permits wil be held Tuesday, Sept. 16 in the State House. The public is invited to attend. Nebraska's buck season gets under way Dec. 1 and ends on the 7th while the doe hunt starts immediately after on Dec. 8 and runs through Dec. 14. Survives 40-Foot Drop Indianapolis, Ind.

He suffered only a small scratch on his abdomen. Auto Thefts Auto thefts jumped into a $95,000,000 racket in this coun try last year, according to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who announced plans for a series of regional conferences to deal with the problem. Car thefts in large cities rose 21.2 per cent and in rural areas 15.1 per cent during 1951. Recoveries ranged above 99 per cent.

Entire State Is Open During '52 Pheasant Season I Nphraska's tvvn-7nnpri nhpas; j ant season scheduled to begin ; 0n October 17 marks the first year since 1948 that the entire ! state has been opened to nheas- ant hunting. The severe 1948- 49 blizzard ravaged the north central part of the state, kill ing many pheasants and neces sitating closed areas. The state is divided into two zones this year with identical beginning season dates but dif- i 2 of the stat smahest of the September, , two zones and comprised of." ' Boyd, Blaine, Brown, Cherry, Garfield, Grant, Holt, Hooker, Keya Paha, Loup, Rock, Thom as and Wheeler counties, has a 10-day season, beginning on Oct. 17 and ending on Oct. 26. The bag and possession limit is two cock pheasants. Zone No. 1, consisting of the remaining 80 counties in the state, also begins on Oct. 17 but ends on Nov. 23. There the bag and possession limit is four cock pheasants. Shooting hours in both zones are from sunrise to sunset. Walleyes Stocked In State Waters Nebraska fishing waters, pri marily McConaughy and the other reservoirs, have had their overall walleye population in creased by more than one mil lion walleyes during the past two months. Hube Howard, superintendent of the North Platte hatchery, reported that 1,115,000 walleyes were stocked from that hatch ery this year. All walleyes re leased were fingerling size. Oddities Noted By Nebraska Game Supervisors The eating equipment of a certain bluewing teal near Newport creates curiosity as to whether or not it is capable of consuming mor efood than the normal duck. Supervisor of Game Lloyd Vance and WTarden Bll Ahern, while working in northern Rock county, found a. two-billed teal. The duck was normal in every way other than having the sec ond food-intaker. The second bill was a little higher than the normal bill, came out to the left and appeared more flesh colored. Bills are normally dark. The second oddity of the week was reported by Hube Howard, superintendent of the North Platte fish hatchery. Howard found a frog with three feet on one leg. .Millionth Draftee Arthur Wreinfeld. a typical 23-year-old of Detroit, reported for induction on July 31 as the 1. 000,000 draftee since the begin ning of the Korean War. WOULD TRADE A survey by the United Na tions indicates that world trade in 1951 reached $76,000,000,000, a record total that was 37 per cent higher than the 1950 figure and more than three times that of 1937, the best pre-war year. Almost 29,000 coke ovens are in operation in the U. S. ac- 1 cording to the U. S. Bureau of j Mines. J Ends Successful Year I State's First Open Beaver Season Is Set Nebraska's first open beaver trapping season for several years will begin and end on dif ferent dates in the two zones of the state. The beaver trapping season in Zone No. 1 starts on Decem ber 15 and ends on March 15, 1953. This zone consists of Ar thur, Banner, Blaine, Box Butte, Brown, Chase, Cherry, Chey enne, Dawes. Deuel. Dundy, Garden. Garfield, Grant, Hook er, Keith, Kimball, Lincoln, Lo gan, Loup, McPherson. Morrill, Perkins, Scotts Bluff, Sheridan, Sioux and Thomas counties. Beaver trapping in one No. 2 begins on November 15 and stops on January 15, 1953. The zone consists of all counties not j mentioned in Zone No. 1. The muskrat and mink trap ping seasons are also on a zone basis and begin and end on the same dates as on beaver. Trapping of raccoon, opossum, badger, skunk, civet and fox is permitted throughout the year in the entire state. Printed copies of the complete trapping regulations are ex pected to be available "in mid- Improved Fishing" Predicted In State; Lakes Are Stocked If the number of walleyes stocked this year survive en masse or even in part, Nebras kans can look forward to vastly improved fishing for that spec ies in the future. Hube Howard, superintendent of the North Platte hatchery, reports that more than one mil- lion walleye fingerlings were re leased in the state. This is an unprecedented number of fin gerlings ever raised at the hat chery and was made possible by the enlargement of the hat chery last year. Approximately 430.000 of the walleye fingerlings were placed in huge McConaughy reservoir. Most of the remaining total were released in the other res ervoirs. A few walleyes were stocked in other waters on an experimental basis. Studies to date unfortunately show that most sand pits where walleyes were planted are not satisfac tory.
