years ago Ray Schalk caught his first
game in the major leagues for the
Chicago White SoX and he has since
achieved the record for the most
games caught by a major league base

lished by Chief" Meyers of the
Giants.

down. The next season he grew dis
satisfied with his salary terms and
jumped to semi-pro ball. Last week
he was reinstaCed and joined the SoX
at Boston, but has not yet taken his
turn on the mound.
For most of the l3 years Schalk has

ROCKNE LAUDS HUDDLE

CORVALLIS, Greg, August II Lp).
The huddle system in foot ball is
much quicker than the old.fashioned
call system if used rightly by a fast
team, Knute Rockne, head foot ball
coach of Notre Dame University, told
a class learning the fundamentals and
theory of foot ball at Oregon Agri-
culture College here recently.
There is no chance to mix signals,
or for the opposing team to catch
them, in the huddle system" he said.
Notre Dame uses the huddle system.

In the West the frying. pan is king
The only pals that are used in must
parts are empty tomato cans The
frying pan is used for everything
from frying bacon to warming up a
can of corn. A Western camper re

pan. In the East and North the fry.
ing pan is simply supplementary
item. used mainly for frying bacon
and fish. and many campers are using
ovens or broilers more and more for
this
The reason for this difference lies
in the prevalence of water In the
West water is usually very scarce.
and in the mountain section, where
there is plenty of it, the customs OF
the desert or semi-arid sections are
still used from habit. For the same
reasons, the Western camper carries
very little dried stuff He lugs alonG
canned tomatoes and canned fruit
but seldom carries dried fruit or veg
etabieS. He must be prepared t.
make camp far from water on 'oc-
casiou.
The Western camper very seldom
carries a tent. That's because il
doesn't rain very often. The tent is
sadly neglected in the mountains.
while in the East or North the tent
is the main piece of equipment.
Bedding is the principal factor in
camp equipment in the Rockies It Is
secondary in other parts of the cuun-
try, in Summer at least. That's be
cause it is always cold at night in the
mountains and often freezes in Mid
summer.
Manner of carrying equipment also
determines what is taken along. The
heavy Dutch oven is a favorite in the
West. where pack animals carry the
luggage, while in the East the re
f1ectur oven. much lighter and re
quiring less room, is used because ON
canoe trips the equipment must bc
carried over pOrtageS.
Water is the favorite beverage
among Arizona and Utah campers
even for breakfast In the evening
the camper drinks several cups Of
water with his meals. but seldom
makes tea or coffee. This is largely
because the traveller seldom gets
chance to drink during the day, and
the morning and evening represent
his only chance to take on water =
and he wants it straight" If he
wants something hot, he is more
than likely to make cocoa, for this
has n distinct food value and forms
a component part of his meal.
