"O THE unsung hero. the un-
headlined performer OF the
public parks tournament, the
L player who kept the contest
ants moving along and made them
like it, we would like to dof our hat.
It's no small Job, as Win johnson
would tell you, to be on the tourney
scene each day, see that matches are
run off as scheduled, that new balls
are being supplied, that correct re-
suits are posted and that future
matches are arranged to the satisfac-
ton Of all concerned.
But Felix does it and has been do
ing it for the past few years. The
sight Of this energetic little Filipino
rushing from court to court, answer
ing questions, giving orders and occa-
sionally acting as umpire when an
important match is being played or
where q couple Of girls can't agree
as to whether the score Is 40-30 or
30-40, gives him plenty to do.
Besides the tournament activities,
Felix Is Gin" on all pre-tourney ar
rangements, assisting in the seedlings
and the draw. In fact, Silvia Is .
mighty handy man to have around.
Nice going, Felix.
IT'S too bad that the tournament
= couldn't have had O story-book
ending, to have wound up in q mat
uraI'-a singles final bringing to-
gether Dooly Mitchell and Barney
Welsh. In all probability this was
Dooly's last public parks appearance,
for it is rumored he will join q club
before long.
Anyway, we'd give to Dooly the
recognition of being the whitest Qeast
tanned) player in the tournament.
The fact that the perennial favorite
is not more burned by tina sun is due
10 the fact that Dooly is finding less
and less time to play. When Dooly
does most of his playing it's too early
in the morning for the sun to exert
much of its influence.
A FEW Of the other net men dis
= tinguished from their fellow play
ers by characteristics during the past
week are:
Tannest-Frank Shore.
Neatest-Tom Markey.
Smilingest-Hugh Lynch.
Hottest-Alan Blade, Pat Deck and
Dooly Mitchell dead heat.
Fightin' n'est-Tony Latona.
Speaking Of Frank Shore reminds
us that his mother almost got her

! ing facilities, and again there is inef-
ficiency in handling the spuds.
BY averaging the higher prices of
%hort crops against the lower prices
of bumper c1Nps, the dean continued,
it might seem that the producer
would get about the same as for a
rcoderate crop each year.
But when one considers the extra
cost of handling, then it becomes evi-
dent that the growers lose money on
crops which vary greatly in size from
year to year.
The prices paid j consumers fluc-
tuate more than the prices paid the
growers, Dean Schaub added. The
demand is fairly unelastic, and the
price rises rapidly when the supply
is low. However, the consumers S
price does not drop in as great a pro-
portion when the crop is large, be-
cause certain costs of marketing the
spuds increase with big crop.
Thus, he said, the consumer pays
less in the long run when the supply
and the price remain at a moderate
level.

Says Stabilizing
OF Potato Prices
Should Help All

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. s.
Stabilizing Irish potato prices at a
fair level should help both the pro-
ducers and the consumers, said Dean
1. o. Schaub, of G;tate College.
Consumers pay less and producers
get more for crops of moderate size
than the average for large crops and
small crops over a period of years.
For one thing, the dean said, the
cost of handling moderate crops is
10 OF IS cents a bushel less than that
of handling excessively big crops or
small crops.
The LARGE crops put strain on
the facilities for handling potatoes,
the dean explained, and the spuds can
no be marketed as efficiently as a
smaller crop.

does not make full use of the market
