with any great degree Of brilliancy,
there were several features of the
playing this year that points to
great success in the fall of 1928.
The team won three games this
season, suffered five defeats and
played two ties, giving them a per-
centage of .375. The record is al
most as good as last years, and
some of the close scores indicate
that when Coach Hedelt gets his

The postponement of his bout
with Heeney, New Zealander and
latest prospect" for heavyweight
championship material, again
draws the spotlight on the neatly
combed hair of Jack Sharkey.
The Boston heavyweight doomed
nine months ago as the outstand-
ing contender in the heavyweight
circle. He seemed headed for fame
at breakneck speed. His knockout
at the hands of Jack Dempsey
checked that rush.
The outcome, with its ramifica
tions, of the bout with Dempsey and
Sharkey's actions since have made
Sharkey the most mysterious figure
of the ring rather than the most
formidable.
No two fans have the same opin-
on of Sharkey. His status as a
fighter furnishes the main topic for
discussion wherever fans smeet.
Is he a great fighter, with a
great future-halted temporarily
by sell out? ~
Is he an overrated fighter who
lacks the skill and the heart to be-
come great?
Was he an innocent party to
zone of those things" when he
fought Dempsey?
Was he showed into the picture
with the knowledge that he was
second rate fighter but had the
color and background to draw the
gate for Richard and Dempsey?
Ask something easy.
His bout with Heeney was post
poned, according to public state
ments, because Sharkey had in
jured a finger in training.
That reason simply adds to the
mystery. Is Sharkey of the type to
be worried by a sprained digit?
Was the accident taken as a
way out" either he or his man
ager holding some concern for the
outcome of the bout with the con-
tender?
There are those who will lay the
dough on the line that Sharkey can
beat Dempsey and Tunney in the

DEER HUNTING TO
Begin HERE SOON
Hunters In This State VIII
Get -Four Days of
Sport

Burlington, Ocean and Atlantic
counties will be the principal stamp
ing grounds of deer hunters in this
state on December II, the opening
day of the four-day hunting season
this year. Ordinarily New Jersey
deer hunters are allotted five
successive days. This year, however
December IL falls on a Saturday
and hunting is not allowed in New
Jersey on Sundays.
Although deer are known to
abount in considerable numbers in
those South Jersey counties, Morris,
Passaic, Sussex and Warren count.
les in the northern part of the state
will not be overlooked
The upland game hunting season
will close two days before the open
ing of the deer season. Anyone
caught in the woods with a rifle or
a shotgun larger than a 12-gauge
gun, and with any bullets other
than buckshot during the deer sea-
son will have to pay the local
magistrate 800 fine.
Preparations Elaborate
For several years the pine region
in the southern part of the state
has been the location for many an
organized deer drive, with hunting
parties numbering anywhere from
five to forty participating. The
hunters station themselves at ad-
vantageous point and wait until a
large corps of "beaters,' with tin
pans, auto horns and other noise
making devices advance on a line
through the pines. driving the deer
before them and within gunshot of
the waiting hunters.
All hunters should wear red
hunting caps. Some not only wear
red caps but have the backs of
their hunting coats made of brill
liant red material. They take those
precautions SO they will not be
mistaken for a deer by some over
jealous person.
Each hunter is allowed one buck
deer a season, and that buck must
have horns showing at least three
inches above the hair of its head
An attempt was made during the
last session of the legislature to
have law passed permitting the
killing of does, but the measure
failed.
Under penalty of 800 fine for
failing to do SO, every hunter is
required to report to a game war
den or to the State Fish and Game
Commission at Trenton the fact
that he has killed a deer.
