Why, yes, we've got lots of lettermen, but most of them didn't see much service last year. Only three of last year's regulars are back—Frank Wilson at right end. Elton Jennings at guard, and Rex Shelley, fullback." Sideline quarterbacks, however, scanned scrimmages held Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, and op inions of this august body were in variance with the coach’s general trend of thought. “More beef this year, said one. “They are hustlers compared to last year," was a second volunteer opin ion. “Look at im crash through that line!" another shouted. From the large turnout the fol lowing appear to have the inside track on first team positions: Full backs Chester Ashby and Rex Shel ley; right half.

Hunters Await Deer Season With the opening of deer season a matter of ten days yet, nimrods in this section are oiling up the old blunderbus and for the most part have their favorite hunting spots in mind. Oregon's 1941 deer season opens September 20 and closes Oc tober 25. The bag limit will be the same as usual, one mule or black- tail deer having not less than forked horns. Those who were fortunate enough to get one of the 3,000 doe licenses will take off for Grant county, or a small portion of Whee ler and part of Crook county where the game emmission will permit the hunting of tha does. An additional 800 does may be taken from Fre mont area in Klamath and Lake counties. ' Antelope season opens a week la ter than the deer season, on Sep- ten: ber 28 and closes October 5, ex cept in southern Malheur county the season opens September 22. Ante lope territory includes Lake, Mal heur and Harney counties The reason for the early opening the season on antelope in the southern part of the County is due to the heavy concentratioln of the fleet footed animals in that part of the country and to coincide with the season in Idaho. Tags for antelope hunting are still available. In northeastern Oregon the elk season will be from November 1 to November 16. In this area each hunter will be entitled to one elk .either a bull or a cow. A special $5 tag must be obtained by a hunter for elk hunting.

C. Beam, well known Nyssa farmer, was seriously hurt and ls still in the Nyssa hospital. The accident occured almost in front of his home on the Adrian highway Just south of Nyssa. He had been riding on the running board of a friend’s car, the car had been stopped to let him alight and the two were talking, Mr. Beam standing on the Inside of the high way when a car approached from the rear of the standing car at the same time as a car driven by Madge Long approaching from the opposite direction. The first car applied the brakes and swerved to the outside of the highway.
