Aaron Doesn't
Know Why of
Late Surgery
MILWAUKEE-Slugger Hank
Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves
says he doesn’t know why the
decision to operate on his ailing
left ankle was put off until the
start of the spring training sea-
son. Aaron is being operated on
today in Milwaukee. He says the
surgeons will be after a bone
chip about the size of the head
of a match stick. Aaron says he
really has several such chips,
but they’re no bother as long as
they float around. The one the
surgeons will be after is caught
in a joint. Aaron says he has
been assured he’ll be back in
the Braves’ training camp with-
in two weeks, unless there are
complications.

Alonzo Stagg
Is Dead at 102
STOCKTON. California— The
grand old man of football, Amos
Alonzo Stagg, is dead at the age
of 102. He died in a rest home
in Stockton, California.
According to a son, Amos
Alonzo Junior, his father became
ill last night and developed a
fever. He said death was believ-
ed due to uremic poisoning.
Stagg was a college head foot-
ball coach for 57 years, and he
made several contributions
which today are a basic part of
the game. The quarter-back
keep, the reverse play, the late-
ral, the quick kick, and the un-
balanced line all are part of
Stagg’s legacy to the game. He
coached at Springfield College,
the University of Chicago and
College of the Pacific.
He coached at Chicago for 41
years, and his teams six times
won the title in the Big Ten.
Five times they went through
unbeaten seasons.
When he reached the manda-
tory retirement age of 70, back
in 1932, he refused to accept
an honorary position of super-
visor of athletics, and he went
to coach at the College of the
Pacific.

"Ramona," Showing Here Friday,
Is Dramatization of Great Book
Are you one of-the many peo-l Gary Oates as Sam Merrill.
ple who love to see the dram-
atization of a great book on the
stage? If so—wild horses will
not be able to keep you away
from “Ramona,” which will be
presented by the senior class on
the stage—Friday, March 19, a
8:05 p.m. in the high school au-
ditorium.
Adapted by Arthur Jearue
from the original Helen Hunt
Jackson novel—“Ramona” as a
play is everybit as beautiful as
the book. It is thrilling to see
“Ramona” come to life on the
stage and realize that we are
witnessing one of the greatest
love stories of all time.
Picture early California,
with all of its romance, c o 1 o
atmosphere as the exterior set-
ting of this lovely play. Beauti-
ful background music especially
adapted to the story will be used
in the play.
Portraying the various parts
of the characters in the play wil
of the characters in the play
will be Norma Sue Kinsala as
“Ramona,” Edward McDonald as
Felipe, Annie Franklin as Se-
nora Gonzaga Moreno, Rickeyr
Casaday as Manuel, Dianne Al-
len as Margarita, Jimmy Slade,
Juan Canito, Pamela Holleman
All of the seniors are doing
i fine job portraying their
parts. One of the most digni-
fied parts will be handled by
Louis Barron as the Franciscan
monk. Also adding color is Juan
Canito—played by Jimmy
Slade. He is mastering the lingo
of the locale of the early days in
California on the Mexican es-
tate. Annie Franklin, as the
Spanish senora—is doing a
wonderful portrayal as head of
the household of an aristocratic
Mexican estate. Since this is
basically the story of a lovely
halfbreed girl who falls in love
with an Indian—Norma Kinsala
and Danny Epps will captivate
your imagination with their
beautiful story. ,
Parents are busy renting and
making costumes for this dram-
atization of “Ramona.” We know
you will want to be among the
audience when the curtain goes
up Friday evening, March 19.
Don’t wait until Saturday morn-
ing and have your neighbor tell
you what a fine play you mis-
sed. Be there yourself and we
promise you an evening of fine
entertainment. ,
Voting Bill to
Congress Today
WASHINGTON. (AP).—Presi-
Cent Johnson has sent to Con-
gress legislation designed to
guarantee that no racial d i s-
crimination keeps any Ameri-
can from voting. He sent a cov-

tion would help rid nation
of racial discrimination in ev-
ery aspect of the electoral
process.
The voting bill’s title pro-
claims that it is: ‘To enforce
the 15th Amendment to the
Constitution of the United
States.”
This amendment which declar-
es the voting right—but which
the administration and civil
rights leaders contend has been
flouted by all sorts of tests and
qualifications and devices im-
posed primarily on Negroes.

civilizations in history have
done.

their children the love of our
country and our forefathers and
hopes that our moral standards
and concepts will begin soon to
improve.

plan for training in the practical

statutes, and ordinances con-
structed by its citizens to govern
themselves.
Citizens of Boys State “Learns
To Do By Doing.” Boys State is
a non-partisan program.
