BEST
GAME, SAYS
KRAUSS
BY GINo SINH

what does q former, great
duckpin star think about and
what does he do?
This question popped into the
muddle brains Of the writer and
he thought he would go ahead
and carry it to a logical conclu-
sion, so he hied himself into the
friendly presence Of one, Fl.
Krauss, who among the bowling
gentry is considered the 9eer OF
duckpin slammers not only Of
washington, but of duckpindom
at large, 'and outlying communi.
ties.
"Ole Nose" as he was known
to his followers when he oozed
the black globe adown the then
not so smooth wooden runs in
beeline for the 1.3 pocket, is
one Of the owners Of the Lewis
& Krauss Billiard Parlors, one of
the foremost cue establishments
in the city, If not the foremost.
He insists that he retired from
bowling 90 years ago and when we
timidly recalled that he did q
little maple-bopping up to several
years after the Kaiser discovered
that he wasn't so Almighty, he
shook his head scornfully.
ooh! Yeah! I rolled q few
games Of duckpins," he ad.
mitted. 'but I don't consider
that bowling. Give me the
good, old tenpins. That's Q man
size game"
'When the bigpins lost out,
around 1910 or IL, I retired.
What duckpin bowling / did
was only ON the insistence Of
friends. I just couldn't get into
the small pin game for It's own
sake! It was like shifting from
a raw meat diet to cream.puffs
for me, and / couldn't go IT,"
Strange views for the estab-
lished greatest Of little pin wiz
ards. A bowler whose form was
considered plu-perfect and whose
averages during the time he shot
those few games Of duckpins"
were way and above the best
many star shooters. with heart
and soul in the game, could
achieve.
He is taking up tennis now. He
played his first game recently
and feels kind of guilty about it.
Think of . man my age
playing tennis" he remarked,
with q shake Of his head.
He describes a typical days
activity for him which would
floor the average young fellow
of today.
"The other day I got up ut
6 and went out for 1S holes of
golf. I had three or four errands
to do until afternoon. when .
young lady insisted that / go
swimming with her for a couple
of hours. When / returned my
daughter made me play tennis
with her."
So there you have it. That's
what a former great duckpin star
thinks and does.
Harry looks great. There is q
healthy glow on his cheeks and
a sparkle in his eyes. He moves
about easily and seems as vigor-
Gus as any athletic young fellow.
Only that black mop Of hair so
prominent in photographs taken
in his hey-dayS is changed. It's
iron grey now.

game should be handed. They

game should be handled. They
won by eight strokes.
The first 10 holes found
the SOutheasterners leading
by one stroke, 1856 to 1877. This
evidently infdriated the Sub
urbanites, who proceeded to
play havoc, while the Paris
Greeners flOundered badly,
succumbing, 1893 to 184.
Alvy, Manor Greener. who had
81 in the first trip, came in with
a. on the home stretch. Kidwell
and Bowie shot consistently, both
having 44-45 cards, and Colbert
had 47-46. to give the Cottage City
371 against 379.
Mel and Ed Srmyster, Howard
Peters, Sam Del Vecchio, George
Andrews and Joe Pulcinelli were
the Paris Green defenders.

There are also two holes at
guard, but Gray, a sub tackle last
year, and. Underwood have the
edge on the other applicants.

TAKE. GAMES
IN STRIDE,
IS PLAN
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
The Navy football eleven is
not pointing for its game with
Notre Dame ct South Bend, Ind,
on October IL. This statement
comes from Head Coach Bill
Ingram, headmaster of the Navy
football forces, who says:
''We'rc not particularly point
Ing for NOtre Dame but will
take each game in stride. Navy,
rs has been my experience In
the past few years, doesn't de-
vefOp into o smooth cOmbina-
tiOn until November.
"Of course my team will be
smoother, for the Notre Dame
game this year. but NOtre
Dame, ~ have found, is in
a11idseason form in October"
OF course, Coach Iagram would
probably have his Navy team
score q victory over Notre Dame
than any other opponent on the
1880 card. Nevertheless, he hints
ct q defeat in the following
words: .....-..
'fROckne can use 80 men
against us without appreciably
weakening his chances while
we actually have but half that
pas,vsainr ~ what might be
called finished material.
However, IL we don't have
Co make many substitutiOrls, we
are apt to give Notre Dame o
real game. The team, taking
1t as eleven players. is better
than last year but the squad
rs q whole Is below the 1923
Navy Grade. However. the squad.
physically and mentally, IL in
superb shape"
Only one position is giving
Coach Ingram concern and that
is the vacant end created when
Hagberg, 190-pounder, was
shifted to fullback. which Joe Cliff
ton left open when he graduated
last June. n ingram sacrificed
power on the flanks, but felt Hag-
berg would be handiers in the
backfield as an interferer and de-
fensive mani Denny, 10th,
Tschirgi, Williams, Kirn, Camp
beli and Cannon, all Of whom will
be hackfield mainstays, are light.
Hence they will need a big &C
conplice TO lead the way on trips
into alien territory. Some Of
these may also check an enemy
runner creeping through the
Navy line. but coaches prefer a
giant back of that forward wall.
Hagberg is a versatile football
player and can be used at guard,
tackle, center or end, as well as
the backfield. Coach Ingram
would like to have a few aole
Hagbergs around. Then he could
sleep more peacefully.
1t is probable that Black
will be given the call at CEN
ter, ably handled last year by
s'Whitey" Hughes. Black
broke out with . rash Of good
football within the past three
weeks, so Tuttle, who was
thought to have q lock on the
Job, and Pray, another snap
per.back, must wait . while.
There are also two holes at
guard, but Gray, a sub tackle last
year, and, Underwood have the
edge on the other applicants.

Heavy Rain Turns Nevada Desert
 Into Big Animal Thronged Garden

Tonopah, New July 1 lP}-Ne- vada's forbidding desert, often for saken by it's hardy horned toads and lizards, through a caprice of nature has become a haven for countless living things.
 Rain falling 19 successive days recently transformed barren wastes into one huge brilliant flower bed. With abundant foliage to feed upon, insect life has multiplied until the great desert is alive with creeping creatures.
 Investigating the phenomena at the request of the |. s. bureau of plant industry, Letson Ballet, min ing geologist and naturalist, finds in sects are so plentiful their natural foes-lizards and reptiles-are be- coming fat and lazy, Later in the year." Ballet said I've will prob ably find the lizards and reptiles multiplying 10 meet the unbalanced food supply"
 Insects Eat "In Bed"
 In normal years, Ballet said, the Insect eggs and larvae attached to the dried leaves of the preceding years vegetation are blown away into the sand and perish by the mil lions, but this season. thanks to the unusual rains, the insects in the larvae and pupae stages found abundant plant life for food.
 They multiplied so fast that the reptiles gorged themselves and laz- fly bask in the shade of the sage brush. They do not dart after q fly or bug as in other years, worms and insects crawl right Up 10 the fat and lazy reptiles which enjoy their meals in bed"
 Cultivated areas adjacent to Death Valley are being overrun with the insect pests, Ballet reported.
 Robin rodbreasts, maGpios, avo- sets, meadow larks, orioles and other birds can be seen farther out on the desert than ordinarily but not be- yond the reach of water.
