Rumors are that the smaller schools under 350 are :j: j:j: complaining they don't have a chance to reach Champaign. I mentioned several weeks ago of three classes in basketball, maybe the answer would be to go to :• I four classes. Quite a few states, have three or more ij :j:: classes in their championship series. Attendance at the j: 'i;: finals last Saturday were the lowest in several years. ::j:: This weds the big boys will arrive in Champaign. As in ji the NCAA anyone has a chance this year. Manley of the :• :i:jChicago Public League along with undefeated Rich ;! §: Central loom as the favorites. There have been a.lot of j: :j:j upsets so far in tourney {day, and more can be expected, ji Dan Boland had his thinclads at Northern Illinois j: |i:l University for a track meet last Saturday. The meet gave j: members of his squad some much needed practice as they ;• prepare for the outdoor season. Ken Swanson had his baseball team getting in shape, j: Hopes to get outside one of these days. First game is a ;i $: week from tomorrow. A couple of ex-Warriors are in the news. Tom Ludwig, • jii: son of coach Ken and Jeanne Ludwig, closed out his; •iij basketball career at Elmhurst college in a blaze of glory.; Tom scored 25 pts., his highest ever as a prep or college • §: player. He also had 10 rebounds and 9 assists. They i :j:j defeated North Central college. Tom was voted Mr. Defense at Elmhurst college this j past year. Marie Mayer, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Mayer is now ! attending McMurray college in Jacksonville, 111. The 6'8" I ijij center is playing J.V. ball, because of the transfer rule I •ji; this season. Being the tallest person on campus, the ! •ji; likeable Maiic has taken a lot of kidding about his 6*8" i;i; frame. He has impressed the coaching staff with his jumping i& ability, and is a big hit with the student body. We hope to iiii hear a lot about the "big guy" in the next couple of :£ seasons. For you Junior high and Little League football coaches, iiii don't forget the Fox Valley Coaches Clinic at West iiii Campus on March 29. A star studded staff will be on hand, iiii Coaching staffs from all over this part of the state are iiii expected to attend. Coach Joe Schlender is the clinic i$ manager, and the one who thought of the idea, andjs the iiii one to get in touch with, if you have any questions. I'm sure everyone will enjoy the day at the clinic. Next Fall's Migratory Game Hunting Regulations Proposed PAGE 7 - PLAINDE ALEE . FRIDAY, MARCH 21, ltM Select Cast For Musi Preliminary hunting regulations for ducks, geese, and other migratory game birds for the 1980-81 hunting season have been proposed by the Interior Depart­ ment's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. No major changes from last year's hunting regulations are jsed at this time. The proposals, published in the February 29, 1980, Federal Register, describe t e n t a t i v e s e a s o n frameworks, daily bag and possession limits, and shooting hours for migratory game birds in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Species discussed in the proposals include ducks, geese, brant and swans; doves and pigeons, cranes; rails, coots, and gallinules; and woodcock and snipe. Shooting hours will remain from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Framework dates for ducks and geese will be from October 1, 1980, to January 20,1981, for the Atlantic and some Mississippi Flyway States, and from October 4, 1980, through January 18, 1981, for the Central and Pacific Flyways and other States in the Mississippi Flyway. The Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to clarify the definition of "migratory game bird" by deleting the term "wild" where it is sometimes used to describe "ducks" and "doves and pigeons." This minor change would remove a point of possible confusion, but would not affect other portions of the regulations or add additional species to those presently listed as migratory birds. All of the published proposals are subject to changes later if indicated by information obtained from surveys, State conservation agencies, and the public. Public comments on the proposals are invited through May 16, 1980, and should be addressed to the Director (FWS-MBMO), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 20240. To ensure that the public has ample opportunity to comment on the proposals, two public hearings will be held to review the status of migratory game birds and consider proposed hunting regulations. The first hearing will pertain to early season regulations (season opening before October 1) and will be held on June 20, 1980, at 9 a.m. in the Department of the Interior auditorium on C Street between 18th and 19th Streets, N.W., in Washington, D.C. A second hearing on regulations for seasons opening, on or after October 1 will be held on August 5,1980, at 9 a.m., also in the Interior Department auditorium. Persons wishing to participate in these hearings should write to the Director (FWS-MBMO) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 20240, or telephone 202-254- 3207. Those wishing to make statements should file copies with the Director before or during each hearing.

ESTATE CORNER By John Chambers SAVE ON INTEREST 1 Want to buy a home and pay a lower interest rate for your mortgage? Most existing VA or FHA mortgages can be assumed at the original in­ terest rate. Over the life of one of these loans, 'con­ siderable savings can be realized by taking advantage of an assumable mortgage. Most owners willing to sell "on contract" will ask an in­ terest rate lower than the, prevailing rate charged by lending institutions. Down payments are usually lower on contract sale also. We have listings which qualify in both of the above categories. Why not drop in and find out from your FULL SERVICE BROKER how you can buy a home and at the same time save $$$ by acting now?
