Cook, state fish and game commissioner. commission-er. 'Beaver trapping in Utah," he said, "has increased 1000 per cent in the last 10 years, and it looks as if it will go four or five times that figure in the next 10 years." Beaver pelts taken in Utah during dur-ing the two-year period following July 1. 1938, yielded $31,959, Cook pointed out. Half of this amount was retained by the trappers and the oilier half went into the state fish and game department's general gen-eral fund. Cook said the department had experienced some trouble with poachers and warned trapping by private operators is permissible only under special permits issued by the state. army chief of staff, accepted the offer of the National Ski association associa-tion and its ski patrol to assist in organizing winter fighting tactics. tac-tics.

But it is not generally known that a number of current and more recent distance stars survived sur-vived severe early injuries to grow up and write history on cinders and boards. Sprinters also have been touched by medical magic. A less hardy and persistent individual in-dividual would not have been heard of following what happened hap-pened to Lou Zamperini, who blazed through the last lap of last winter's miles. Zamperini Injured At the age of 3, Zamperini came within a gnat's eyelash of losing a toe. At 10, the Southern California ,s;trctch-burner ran an it on pipe into his hip bone. At 16, he was big enough to play the horses . . . suffered a splintered knee when tossed by a broncho in a rodeo. A year later his ankle an-kle was fractured by a kick from an equine incorrigle. But Zamperini didn't confine his mishaps to hosses. At 18, the Italian tore a ligament in his left leg in an automobile smash-up. At 20, he broke an ankle when he failed to land properly on skis.

Coming in contact with a high tension wire while climbing a telegraph tele-graph pole, Bill Bronthron suffered suffer-ed severe burns - which left his famous legs with deep scars. A broken bone in Walter Mehl's foot failed to knit properly . . . had to be removed. Mehl had always al-ways run the half-mile, but when he resumed training, Tom Jones, the Wisconsin coach, suggested that the slower pace of the two-mile two-mile would be easier on the tender pedal. The third time Mehl ran the distance in the Western conference confer-ence meet he set a new record. He then lowered his mile mark from 4:11 to 4:09.7.
