Accom- panied by his wife, son, mother- in-law, father-in-law, and brother- in-law, he traveled 'through six- teen states getting firsthand in- formation on the droughtprob-1 lems ofthe farmer. According to his survey the farmers of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas are the hardest hit. uAlthough we visited many, beautiful places including Yel- lowstone park, Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest, the sight which most impressed us was the two-hundred mile drive under the towering redwoods of north- ern California, commented the congenial instructor. Even on the brightest day, I found it impossible to take a picture un- der the dense foliage of these mammoth trees. Upon their return to Toledo, the party took a trip through Michigan to Canada through Buffalo to West Virginia and then back to Toledo.

Coach Art Smith and his assistants have boys segregated into three squads with several scrimmages a week. Blocking and tack- ling are being stressed as the things which win ball games.

These grid authorities make their choices known through the Illus- trated Football Annual. Before attending T. U., Boyd was a hard runner and a deadly tackler. Howard Brown, end, also of Toledo has been placed on the All-American check list. This means he is a leading candidate for the All-American team. Important Changes Made In Football Rules For 1936 Two important changes in the football rules will become effect- ive during the 1936 season. A ball which is punted and does not go over the line of scrim- mage can be picked up and ad- vanced by either team. The old rule made the ball dead if the team which kicked, recovered the ball. If a full team is not on the field at the beginning ofthe game or at the half, the team without all of its players is penalized 15 yards, instead of the ball being placed on the 35 yard line and ad- vanced by the team which won the toss. ' Joe Bloom May Take Charge of Boys' Intra-mural Games Homer Hanham and Art Smith are trying to arrange with the W.P.A. to have Joe Bloom, former gym instructor here, man- age the 1936-1937 intra-murals. The schedule will start with pass and tap football and con- tinue through the year with bas- ketball, volleyball, horseshoes, track, and ending up next spring with indoor-baseball. Approximately sixteen teams are expected to participate. As soon as they are organized and managers are appointed, the teams will swing into action. No changes will be made in the rules of the games. be used in the event that Barney Banasiak or Johnny Golembiew- ski are disabled at game time. Foremost candidates for back- field positions besides Golem- biewski and Banasiak are Bob Stack, Ed Pelczarski, Chuck Hos- kins, Tony Anello, Edwin Bialor- ucki, and Simon Hodge. Leading line candidates are Joe Barbara, center, Bob Shuff, Ray Stoykoff, and Tubby Balish, guards, Joe Wichowski, Al Greenwood, and Chester Kaz- mierczak, tackles, and Leonard Nareski and Ervin Klocko, ends. Stubby Krell looks like a first string guard if his knee turns out all right. Dave McMurray and Homer Hanham are filling their rolls as assistant coaches. Local Football Authorities Begin Season With Banquet All officials, coaches, athletic board members, faculty mana- gers, and principals of Toledo high schools inaugurated anoth- er grid season by attending a banquet, The Kickoff. Expenses were paid by contri- butions from each school. Principal C. C. LaRue was im- pressed by the number of former Woodward graduates who are now newspaper men in Toledo. Among them are Seymour Roth- man, Bladeg Paul Schrader, ofthe Timesg Marion Jaworski, and Merritt Deke Green, both of the Newsbee. All of these men attended the banquet.

Bitter purchased from Colo- rado was once used by Nikola Tesla, an Austrian spy in the United States, to send information to Austria at the be- ginning of the World War. Just before the war, Tesla became a naturalized citizen in this country. He built tall towers in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which were designed to trans- mit power by wireless. When the war broke out, he built what was at the ti ne the tallest tower in the world. He sent messages in code, con- cerning the United States, to Austria with this tower. An amateur in New York City exper- imenting with a wireless set picked up one of the communications and report- ed it to Washington where it was de- ciphered and traced to Tesla. After Tesla was deported and the tower dynamited his equipment was sold to a man in Colorado. Mr. Bitter became acquainted with this man and bought some very valuable radio sup- plies which are to be used in Wood- ward's radio classes.
