Against the national one-ln-S900 ratio of fatal hunting accidents, Pennsylvania, New York, and Michigan, three of the most heavily hunted states and three which have especially progressive hunting codes, boast ratio mallr than one In 25,000 almost a two-thirds cut. The other revelation was that many states cara little for the qualifications of a hunter, other than his ability to pay a license fee, and moreover do not even keep complete rec ords of hunting accidents.

Brickley Famed Harvard Goal-Booter Fails to Understand Many Conversion Misses By HAROLD V. RATLIFF- DALLAS, Oct. 20 VP) Tho chunky fellow with the scars' on his bald head was emphatic: "They should abolish, the point after touchdown If the coaches are not going to teach the boys how to kick them. v "And the coache don't teach the boya how to kick them, be cause most of them Just don't know or don't care. They say: 'What's the use? We can get touchdowns.' " Not Just a rabid football fan who had lost ten bucks on a game because his team didn't add the vital point. But a man qualified to speak f on the subject because his name happened to be Brickley Charlie Brickley and back in football' yesterday' he did n't miss. Present day fans . look on Charlie Brickley as something of a myth if they ever heard of him. But the record books bulge with stories of his kick ing prowess when he played for Harvard before the twenties. That's when he got those scars on' his. head. "I've checked the records for years and watched the amazing ly large number of misses after touchdowns," says Brickley. If the coaches have time to de velop fellows who can pass for touchdowns like Sammy Baugh the greatest passer I ever saw surely they have time to practice their boys at kicking goals. What's the use of scor ing five touchdowns if missing a point after one loses the game? A writer says an extravagant girl usually makes a poor moth er. First, however, she makes a poor husband.

' PAGE SEVEN Allied Leaders Gather in India; Speculation Grows LONDON, Oct 20 ) The gathering of allied military lead ers In New Delhi heightened the belief in London Monday that plans are being speeded for an offensive against the Japanese in Burma. The latest of the arrivals at General Sir Archibald Wavell's headquarters was General Sir Claude Auchinleck, former com' mander of British forces In the middle east, who was reported In line for appointment soon to an Important post. His appearance In New Delhi was preceded by the arrival of Lieut. Gen. Joseph Stllwell, chief of staff of allied forces in China. The American's trip to India so soon after Gen. Wavell's recent tour of the India-Burma frontier led to the assumption that they had discussed Integration of British, Indian, American and Chinese forces for reconquest of Burma and re-opening of the Burma road to China. Santa Clara Ninth in Weekly Football Poll Notre Dame Climbs from 22nd to Eighth; Washington State Falls from First Ten By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (fP) Ohio State, with a record of four straight victories this season, remain the choice of the football experts as the country's No. 1 team in tho second of the Asso ciated Press' weekly polls. Fifty-eight of the 119 sports blanked Purdue while getting 28 latest outing, first place on their ballots but 38 others decided the honor belonged to Georgia, a 40 to 0 winner over Tulane last Saturday, The Dixie Bulldogs, second a week ago, held onto the run nerup position, 1,030 votes to 973, but Alabama, which stop ped Tennessee, 8 to 0, exchang ed places with Michigan and occupied third place while the Wolverines skidded to fourth despite their 34 to 18 win over Northwestern. That was the only change; among the first seven of a week ego with Illinois, Georgia Tech and Wisconsin keeping the fifth, sixth and seventh rungs. The remaining three places In the top 10, however, went to newcomers with Notre Dame climbing from twenty-second to eighth on the strength of the 28 to 0 shellacking administer ed the Iowa Pre Fllght Cadets; Santa Clara moving up from a tie from fifteenth to ninth by beating California, and Boston College nudging up from elev enth to tenth following the Eagles' 7 to 8 win over the North Carolina Fre-Fllght. Pennsylvania, tied by Prince ton; Colgate, drubbed by Duke; and Washington State, loser to Southern California, were eighth, ninth and tenth a week ago.

WORDEN NOME, Alaska, Oct. 20 (Wide World) Over In the Catholic church, a weary priest is putting in a new floor for a tiny office, doing the carpentry personally and without much hope that the empty church building will soon be filled. But down on Main street, con course of the ghosts of a thou sand vanished prospectors, Monte, the restaurant chef, is do ing a land office business with men who never before tasted reindeer steak and are not fami liar with seal liver as a delicacy. That's what war in the Bering sea has done to Nome. After 40 years of gold rushes, fires, floods, famines and perio dic sieges of pneumonia, nothing surprises Nome very much, and nothing bothers its people very long. Up until June 3, Nome hardly knew a war was going on. A few of the mines which nor mally had, had not "opened this year and some of the young peo ple were going Into the army or the navy. It was a little difficult to get building materials, but Nome long since had become used to such difficulties. The attack on Dutch Harbor by Japanese airplanes changed all that. In two days, Nome woke up. Women and children battled for places on airplanes. Others scurried to summer cabins in the hills. Reserve food supplies were reinforced. Many a malemute dog was turned loose to find food for himself on the in can- strewn beach. Even now, no civilian here will deny that it was a panic. Families arose in the middle of the night, packed their bags and left for retreats from which they , i - i-1 - TRANSLATION: Assuredly, 0 Prince, your tastfl will ba honoured and your purse spared, If you but remember: The very best buy.

And the famW lies of Nome, some still Jittery, others shame-faced, wandered back just in time for a crisi which was more real than th first. , - That was the failure of th Nome ship to arrive from Seattle on schedule. The first ship of the year always has been in a race on its way here, and no one has been able to guess very ac curately whether the town would run out of the winter's food supply before the first ship came. This year, the food gave out first. There being still no meth od of traveling to Nome over land, airplanes were used to keep the town from starving un til a ship could be convoyed past the danger zone in the Aleu tian islands. Nome did not go hungry, but it was close enough so that smart mothers sent their children outside and people who had no business in the town found nearly everyone in favor of their departure. Meanwhile, of --course, the armed forces were making hasty preparations against an .attack which still might - come. That work kept most civilian men here and brought in hundreds of new workers, both Eskimos and whites. But the ordinary, every day business of the town and the surrounding mining country came to a virtual stop and is still topped. Most mines are closed, most non-essential stores have shut their doors.
