S. HIS. ALUMNI
EDGED IN AHEAD
Defeated Spaulding High
School Team, 80 to 27,
Last Evening
IN GAME HARD
FOUGHT THROUGHOUT
"Doc" Mann Was Big Fac
tor for Alumni and Nc
Hardy for School

After 40 minutes of unusually hard
playing the alumni team of Spaulding
defeated the student team last evening
1927 at the Spaulding gymnasium
Perhaps that word unusually ought
to be underlined, for two teams never
contested with such eagerness as did
these when playing purely for the hon
or Of victory, The alumni, all good
men, who have been keeping in condi-
tion with other teams, did a whole
days work in 40 minutes last evening,
endeavoring to keep the "schoolboys"
from tearing down that victory banner
which for many seasons the alumni
players have managed to keep flying
In the first period the student team
went over the top and captured the flag,
coming from the basketball arena at
the end of that period with score OF
IA over the alumni's points,
Densmore, who had been guarding
Mann during the first period, was re-
placed by Brown in the first part Of
the last period and by Rivers in the
latter part Of the same period. Mann
came back strong and scored three bas-
kets in succession when Lille managed
to Jump the opposing center each time.
In the last period Mann secured six
baskets, whereas he had made but one
in the first period. So it is very evil
dent that Densmore's absence made a
gap in the ranks
But these changes were made by the
coach so that the best players for the
various positions might be chosen. For
renter's place there are four candidates,
three of whom figured in the game last
night, They all worked hard to retain
the lead, but the alumnis comeback
was too strong. Geals at left guard
played a clever game for the alumni,
Meanwhile, McHardy and Murphy
availed themselves Of every opportu-
nifty to score basket.

traps, how to set them, and gives 9TH
er information. The methods dis
cussed are especially adapted to the
Pacific coast states, but with mod
ifications will apply to all localities
where moles are found.
Muskrats Still Numerous.
While minks, raccoons, and skunks
have become somewhat scarce In GER
tain localities, muslrats have not d.
minished In numbers except In places
where the marshes have been drained.
These animals multiply much more
rapidly than many other fur bearers,
and because of their aquatic retreats
and their habits are better fitted to
maintain their numbers under rea-
sonable protection. Muskrat pelts this
season should bring from rs cents to
50 each. Though the price of cotton
tail rabbit skins is low--15 cents to
35 cents a pound for dry cased skins
this source Of income should not
be overlooked by the trapper-farmer,
as frequently large number of these
animals can be caught in the course
of the winter. There Is frequently a
good market for the rabbit meat also.
Among other fur-bearing animals
more or less widely distributed
throughout the country are opossums,
badgers, and, for western regions,
coyotes and wolves.
Handling the Fur.
If the farmer who temporarily turns
trapper is to realize the best prices for
pelts, he must learn the proper meth
DDS of handling them. Most skins
should be ceased for the market. A
cased skin is one removed from the
carcass after Sitting the hind legs
but not the belly of the animal, there
by leaving a tubular shaped pelt. The
skin is left with the fur turned In, and
dried on a stretcher made of thin
board sharpened to point, or OF
heavy galvanized wire.
The biological survey of the United
States department Of agriculture fur
nishes on application information re-
garding the trapping of fur-bearing
animals, laws relating to the subject,
and the preparation Of pelts. It also
supplies inquirers with lists of buyers
for various kinds of pelts.
