Iowa's Eddie Anderson Eyes Strong Backfield Amid Uncertain Outlook
University of Iowa coach Eddie Anderson prepares for 1941 season inviting 53 athletes to practice on Sept. 10. With 14 possible draftees and key losses like Nile Kinnick and Mike Enich, Anderson forecasts a tough Big Ten year as he fields a rebuilt line and a backfield led by Al Coupee and Jim Walker, with many lettermen missing due to graduation or military service.

Pheasants Released to Aid Farmers and Fish Rescue Update
Six hundred pheasants have been distributed to cooperative farmers with hopes to release the remainder this week. The birds help control grasshoppers and crickets, with one pheasant reportedly taking out over 40 hoppers in ten minutes. Local observations note that game birds prefer pests over premium feed. The All-Iowa fair display was privately owned and not linked to local conservation groups. The state conservation commission, local officer Ray Beckman, and Linn County Fish and Game Club President Charles Kosek are investigating Cedar Lake fish kills, which affect 95 percent of killed fish being hickory shad or skipjack. Tips for better fishing include minimizing noise, fishing in shallow water, and using boat setups with minimal sinkers to drift bait. Sour clams aided catches last week. The fish rescue crew has saved numerous fish from low ponds, with calls to notify Beckman or Kosek about distressed ponds. Two hundred four pheasants were released in Jones County on five townships by the Monticello conservation league, arriving from the state hatchery and placed on 14 farms across Lovell, Castle Grove, Wayne, Richland, Scoet Grove, and Jackson townships.
