Coach Cecil Baker has only one casualty guard Tom Kramer is out with mumps. The veteran M-Men team from Lovell hasn't reported, but the big LD.S.-church champs live on basketball and undoubtedly will take the floor against Granite Gran-ite as the favorite.

Louis has slow ed appreciably and that he never will make contact with the chal lenger's chin. The other experts hold that this tune Conn won t last five rounds. The - belief is backed up by two facts that Louis always has been poison the second time around and that he is doubly effective against a ooxer who has irked him. And Conn definitely irked him.

This means that the regular No. 3 man Frank Parker is in effect ef-fect the top dog in the amateur rarucs. xet, Parker has been playing play-ing tennis for a dozen years and the highest he has ever soared in the past was second, and not a very definite second.

Game Department Seeks to Prevent Pheasant Damage SALT LAKE CITY, April 3 Various techniques are being tested test-ed by the Utah Fish and Game department to determine a meth od of keeping pheasants from eating corn when it is first planted in the spring. Allan Randle, assistant direc tor of game management, said that wardens throughout the state would cooperate with farmers farm-ers in giving the aid : and helping help-ing them treat the corn before it is planted. Although not tried in Utah, one method which has proved effec tive on an experimental basis in other states is mixing the seeds with dry lead oxide. The Game Breeder A Sportsman, a sports publication, has completed a aer ies of experiments with lead oxide and reports that it is successful. About two ounces of the dry chemical are, mixed with a bushel of seed corn; mixing being done by putting the corn on a floor and shoveling it around until the chemical coats each kernal. After germination, when the sprouts, are firmly rooted. in the ground, the pheasants can't pull tnem up. ine vital period is up to about two weeks after planting. Lead oxide may be the answer since it is non-poisonous, it's cheap and will not clog up I planter. Randle urged farmers to con tact the department if they have ,nad paeasant trouble in the past, and that a warden would ba sent out with a supply of the chemi cal.
