Those were the days when deaths and crippling injuries re sulting from massed play by big, ponderous brutes had football on the ropes and its leaders had to rule out mass formations and hurdling. ECKERSALL died at 46 on March 24, 1930, a victim of a heart attack.

During his colleeiate career. Eckersall held nearly every punt ing and drop-kicking record. He performed the astounding feat of kicking five field goals in two separate games. His punts always sailed 60 yards or better. The tiny, flitting old Maroon holds the distinction 'of being a pioneer in the forward passing game.

In 1905 when forward passing was coming into football, Eckersall, although never throwing a pass before, connected on a heave to the late Wally Steffen for a 75-yard gain and Chicago's first touchdown against Illinois. Eckersall was one of the first Western players to make Walter Camp's All-American teams, being selected in 1904-05-06, although in 1904 he was placed at end. In 1904, Eckersall's feat included a 106-yard run against Wisconsin. The playing field then was 110 yards from goal line to goal line. Alex Is Defeated In Track Meet Alexandria High School track team dropped a dual meet, 81-37, to Gahanna Lincoln on the Gahanna track Thursday afternoon.

Athletic Director Paul Harlow, who was heard in a few remarks, thought that with the in coming freshmen and those soph omores on the 1950-51 reserve team that the Wildcats should be able to gam back their state wide fame which they lost the past few years because of poor records.

Harlow said he and Max Douglas, NHS head cage coach. were well pleased with the Junior High All-Stars' performances against the reserve team and some of next years varsity mem bers in two games played at the end of the campaign.

Eschmeyer of Washington, inis is wnat ne toia tne lzaan Walton League of America to day: "Fishing isn't simply a dignified way of doing nothing. It's a nerve, tonic." On the more serious side. Dr. Eschmeyer pointed out that there now are more than 15 million fishing license buyers and that an acre of water like an acre of land, will produce only a limited number and sizes of "livestock." "If cows had 10,000 calves each." he said, "and manv fish lay many times that of eggs, would adding a truck load of calves in a pasture appreciably increase the cattle population there; if we realize this simple fact of fish life, we can see why some of our fishing stocking has been ineffective." THAT, HE SAID, emphasizes the need for more fishing water through pond and recreational lake building. Much the same thought came from Dr.

Charles A Dambach, chief of the Ohio Division of Wild Life. He said: "Supplementing natural production with artificial replenishment in np case contributes significantly to natural quantities and is excessively expensive even under the most ideal conditions." He asserted that virtually all species of game quickly would over-populate their range if given the necessary food, cover and water conditions. He added, however; "The real value of same is its recreational and aesthetic ap peal, and we must quit kidding ourselves that it has significant economic or biological import ance to the farmer. Marshall Stars In Swim Meet COLUMBUS. April 8 The 27th National Indoor AAU Swims, with only one of 13 events run off, ftad dwindled today to a one-man show.

Practically everyone conceded the New Haven Swim Club had the title locked up. But interest ran high as the fans awaited the next performance of John Mar shall, Yale's sensational sopho more from Australia. The youngster he was 21 just a week ago was a runaway winner of the 1500-meter freestyle Thursday night in the fastest ever clocked in the marathon. This was the only event on last night's program. The mark was eiirht full sec onds under the 18:18.8 with which Marshall won the NCAA event last week at Austin, 54 seconds under the AAU record of 19:06.8 set in 1936 by Jack Medica of the Washington AC; and nine full seconds under the world record set in 1949 by Japan's Hironoshin Furuhashl.

Marshall sensational 1500- meter "sprint" can't eo into the record books as a world mark since it was made in Ohio State's 25-yard pool and races over 500 yards must be in pools 55 yards or more in length to be recognized on the big board. Fazio Leads In Masters Event AUGUSTA, April 8 iff Four times George Fazio has poked his head above the crowd of golfers who follow the tourna ment circuit. This time the Con- shohocken kid intends to keep it mere. Swarthy George, a scarp iron dealer in Conshohocken, led the Masters Tournament today as the second round opened at the rough, tough Augusta Nation al course. But his lead wasn secure even if he did shoot a 68 in Thursday's first round.

That four-under par golf bare ly was good enough to put him ahead of two veteran profession als, pressing him on the yard national course. Sam Snead and Lloyd Mangrum were right behind with a pair of 69s. Today, George is up again, up higher than Hogan, his tormentor in the open, and higher than Mangrum, who also scored better than Fazio in that piayotr. Ben Hogan was in fourth place coma into the Masters second round with a 7U. rour others Lew worsham, Byron Nelson, Dick Mayer and Johnny Bulla were tied for fifth with 71a.

Oddsmakers saw Fazio as a 29 1 bet He was an 8-1 bet today to win the Masters for bit first major victory. Feller Carded For Full Route Against Giants FORT WORTH, April 8 (fl Bob Feller gets a chance today to show he is in" shape to go the distance against a major league foe and win. Two other Cleveland Indian righthanders have done it in the Tribe's last two games. Larry Jansen will be pitching today for the New York Giants whom the Tribe beat 6-5 Thursday in the first of an 11-game, eastward bound barnstorming series. Early Wynn gave up all five Giant runs in the first frame, but blanked the New Yorkers after that.

Mike Garcia was the first Tribe hurler to go full nine innings when he beat the New York Yankees in Tucson Tues day 6-3. Second Baseman George Stirn- weiss and bnortstop Merrill Combs, acquired last Sunday from the St. Louis Browns, joined the Indians at Huston yes terday. Four of the five Giant runs off Wynn were unearned and re sulted from Shortstop Ray Boone's muff of a double-play grounder. Wynn kept the giants to seven hits, fanned five and walked only three.

Boone atoned for his error by singling home the winning run with one out in the last half of the ninth. Reds May Start Rookie at Short JACKSONVILLE. April 6 vr Just like the girl in the song, Cincinnati Manager Luke Sewell wont say yes and he won't say no but if anything, that's a good indication who he's decided will play shortstop for the Reds this year. For the regular short. Virgil Stallcup, has been at his stand for the past three seasons.

Now a young upstart up from Tulsa, a red-head as is Stallcup, is making a mighty strong threat to take Sewell's face lights up like Times Square on New Year's Eve whenever Roy McMillan's name is mentioned. He remarked. "I'm convinced that McMillan is a better play-maker and defensive shortstop than Stallcup. His only weakness is an average throwing arm. But he makes up for this by getting the ball away in a hurry; in fact, he's the best I've seen doing this since Lippv Leo Durocher was starring for the Cardinals.

McMillan also has a lot of holler and bustle for a 21-year-old rookie." When asked whether the boy i wonder will be able to hit enough to play regularly, Sewell served, "that remains to seen." ob oe Sportsman's Club Banquet Tuesday The Licking County Farmers' and Sportsman's Club, formed 15 years ago by a group of sportsmen to promote conservation, will hold its 16th annual banquet Tuesday night in the of Hall. The banquet will attract a majority of the club's 500 members from every part of Licking County. The popular Dr. Tennyson Guyer will be the main speaker for the second consecutive year. April has been proclaimed as "conservation month" and the club is holding the banquet to coincide with the proclamation.

As an added attraction this Sunday the of Miss Elisabeth Spink and Paul Swonger, both of Newark, will be solemnized at the track. -4 j-s jr Tigers MEMPHIS, April 6 Iff The Detroit Tigers brought their unimpressive spring exhibition game record (4 12) here today for a game with the Memphis Chicks of the Southern As-s 0 i a i Dizzy Trout was named to pitch. Dodgers JACKSONVILLE. April 8 Ml The Brooklyn Dodgers may have a new pitching pros pect in Earl Mossor, who twirled last year for the Class Portsmouth, club.

Mossor hurled the first five in nings Thursday for the Brooks against the Phillies. He yielded two runs in the first, but then pitched four hitless innings. Hogan May Be Commissioner RrpGEWOOD. N.
