No. l Contender

TONY GALENTO, the animated
L beer vat from Newark, has re-
tanned his National Boxing associa-
ton ranking as the No. heavy
weight title challenger.
Association records show that Joe
Triner, Illinois committeeman, vot-
ed to leave vacant the No. post
which the N. B. A. first awarded the
New Jersey heavyweight last year.
Two-Ton Tony's high ranking posi-
ton carries little glory with it. He's
merely been designated as top man
of a particularly unimpressive Sc
lection of challengers. Committee
members did not take themselves
too seriously when they designated
Tony to lead the list. They made
it clear that Tony cannot be con-
sidered a very grave threat to
Champion Joe Louis.
Heavyweight boxing's sorry state
of affairs is evidenced by the first
10 ranking fighters. In addition to
Galento the committee ranked, in
order, Bob Pastor, Lou Nova, Max
Baer, Red Burman, Maurice Strick-
land, Nathan Mann, Roscoe Toles,
Johnny Paycheck and Tony Music.
Divisions other than heavyweight
show a great deal more class. In
the light heavyweight class Cham
pion John Henry Lewis is followed
by Melio Bettina, Dave Clark and
Billy Conn, in first, second and third
places, respectively. Finishing out
the list of 10 are Ron Richards, Gus
Lesnevich, Len Harvey, Jock Nc
Avoy, Tiger Terry Warrington, Ed
die Wenstob and Joe Wagner.
Top middIeweights are SOlIy Krie-
ger, champion; Freddie Apostolic, Al
Hostak, Walter Woods, Ceferino
Garcia, Teddy Yarocz, Fred Hen
neberry, Eric Seelig, Attilio Saba
tino, Tony Zale and Gene Buffalo.
First five welterweights are Hen
ry Armstrong, champion; Charley
Burley, Fritzie Zivic, Sammy Luft-
spring and Milt Aron.
Lightweights are Henry Arm
strong, champion; Lew Ambers, Da-
vey Day, Sammy Angott and Pedro
MontaneZ.
Featherweights include (cham-
pionship vacant) Leo Kodak, Petey
Scalzo, joey Archibald, Freddie Mil
Ter and Dave Castilloux.
Five top ranking bantamweights
are Sixto Escobar, champion; john
ny Morgan, George Pace, Henry
Hood and Lou Salica.
The fyweight championship is va
cant, with Peter Kane, Little Dado,
Jackie Zurich, Small Montana and
Raoul Degryse as ranking contend

Wells dnd Yelling
Are Omnipresent

Wells and yelling are that omni-
present in the millinery mode the
eyes have to sight through yards and
yards of yelling to discover the hat
itself. To radiate the spirit of spring
try tying a bright green veil over
your new black or navy straw. Green
wells are the 'last word in chic"
It's the proper thing to match the
color of your veil to your gloves and
other accessories. You will like the
new hats made all of yelling. They
are appealingly feminine and in
their exquisite colorings they tune
to spring most charmingly. The all
yelling hat (most often little
sailor) is made of twisted strands of
the yelling or layer upon layer. To
add allure there are long streamer
ends of the yelling to tie and twirl
with provocative grace.

has one outstanding virtue which
will do much to save him from his
friends and well-wishers.
Clutch" is a solid, unimaginatiye
player. Much more so than the av-
erage youth his age, which is 10.
Imperturbable and Unconditional, the
yOungster has been the subject of
more publicity pieces than any
pitcher of his age in the history of
the game. So far this spotlight
hasn't dazzled him in the least.
Most of the stuff written about the
Seattle youth has been in superla-
tive praise. One author gave him

The Balanced Diet

Every modern homemaker
therefore owes it to her family not
to plan meals at random, but to
take into consideration the seven
factors that science has deter
mined to be essential for top
health. These include: protein
for building and repairing body
tissue; carbohydrates to produce
quick heat and energy; fats, a
more compact form of fuel; min
erals, which serve both as build
ers, and as regulators of body
processes; vitamins A, B, c, D, E
and G., which act as regulators,
and help to prevent the various de-
ficiency diseases; water, which
serves as a vehicle by which food
is carried to the tissues, and cellu-

lis Balance That Counts

It requires no more time or eff
fort to prepare INTENTIONALLY cor
rect meals than those which lack
balance, nor is it more expen-
sive. For elaborate meals can lack
balance, if they are deficient in
minerals, vitamins and bulk, while
those composed of such simple
foods as bread and milk, and
stewed fruits may provide an
abundance of the protective sub
stances which satisfy the hidden
hunger of the body.
My plea to homemakers is to
give less thought to the prepara-
ton of elaborate recipes, and
more thought to supplying the food
values that will create abundant
health and vitality. In that way,
| believe we shall take a real step
forward in human progress.

Navy Vogue Steps
To Fashion Front

Contrasting the fiamboyant plaids
and stripes and gay prints now so
much in vogue is the navy vogue
which has stepped to the front. Suits
with cunningly devised jackets,
dresses with accompanying boleros
and coats galore are neatly tailored
of navy woods. The accessories may
be either very colorful or follow the
trend that calls for lingerie touches
in immaculate white.

questionably his admirers had very
worthy motives in heaping praise
on his head. But they also succeed
ed in putting the boy on the spot.
To live up to his publicity would re-
quire the skill of a genius. If he
fails it will be largely the fault of
his friends who have built him up
into a pitching juggernaut.
He will need all his cOmpOsure
and steadiness. American league
wits are practicing for Hutchinson.
A high-priced and highly publicized
player, he offers a fair target for
their "riding." And they won't be
gentle when they start rubbing him
about his nothing balp' and his
magical right arm"
Best in Minors?
Termed the greatest pitcher in the
minor leagues last year, Hutchin-
sons claim to that distinction-or
rather his friends claim to that hon.
or for him-can be disputed. Paul
Trout, Sandcut, Ind, idol, won %
games and lost 6 in the Texas
league. Hutchinson won Is and lost
in the Pacific Coast league. Trout's
victories were gathered in three and
one-haf months of play while Hutch
inson's were compiled in six months
of competition. All in all, Trout's
record for the year was the more
formidable.
Nevertheless, Hutchinson is a
great ball player. He was beaten
only once as high school pitcher,
twice as an American Legion pitch
er, twice while hurting for Yakima
and seven times last year. That is
a great record.
His immediate future would be in
less doubt if the superlative praise
would come to sudden end. Few
things are as harmful to a young
athlete as extravagant, over-done
acclaim. His personal cheering Sec
ton would do well to soft pedal its
applause until the season is under
way.

Planning Meals Scientifically

Today we know that a definite
relationship exists between food
consumption and bodily activity,
and that normal individuals can
usually control body weight by
regulating the amount of fuel
foods in the diet. We know that
minerals and vitamins play pow
erful part in building and main
tanning sound teeth as well as
healthy nerves; and that we can
build resistance to disease, defer
old age, and even lengthen the
span of life by choosing our food,
not merely for its appetite appeal,
but for the qualities that contrib
ute toward what nutritionists term
a balanced diet.

Court Puzzler

RASKETBALL'S rules manipu-
~ lators soon may be faced with
another task-that of devising some
method to make goal tending illegal.
AS the rules now stand any unusu-
ally tall player can station himself
beneath the basket and with no more
than a slight jump bat opponents
shots away from the danger, zone.
This was thoroughly demonstrated
during the past season by Mike No
yak, six-fO0t-nine-inch center of the
Loyola university team in Chicago.
The altitudinous Mike stationed him
self under the basket and when the
opposition shot from outside he
would merely raise his long right
arm, jump about two and a half
feet off the floor, and flip the ball
away.
Novak's contribution wasn't only
to the defensive side. His tremeIl-
dous height enabled him to tally
something better than 10 points
game to Loyola's total.
Officials and fans are generally
agreed that too great premium is
placed on height. 1t gives player
an almost unsurmountable advan-
tage, demoralizing members of the
opposing team. On the other hand
they argue that it isn't fair to pena-
hze player because he happens to
reach nearer the clouds than his fell
low-athletes.
There isn't quite as much danger
in the situation as is seen on the
surface. A majority of abnOrmaIly
tall athletes are physically handi-
capped in that they are often slow,
awkward and a trifie freakish. This
is not true of NOvak. Nat Holman,
the old Celtic hero and for 20 years
coach of City College basketball,
calls Novak a fine athlete and the
best college player he has ever seen.
The argument is one that can stay
fresh for years. And it is doubtful if
the rules committee will take dras-
tic action on the question in the
very near future.

A Days Food Plan

a Days rood Plan
The various food essentials will
be supplied if the three daily
meals include a quart of milk for
every child, a pint for each adult,
which may be served as a bever-
age, with cereals, in soups, sauces
or made into desserts; an egg
daily, or at least three or four
weekly; one serving of meat, fish
or chicken, usually at the main
meal of the day; a second protein
food, such as cheese, baked beans
or nuts, usually served at lunch
or supper; two vegetables besides
potatoes, one of which should be
of the raw, leafy variety; two
servings of fruit, and at least one
serving of whole grain cereal.
BY adhering to this plan, you
will help to supply your family
with the necessary proteins, min
erals, vitamins and cellulose. Fuel
foods may be added by way of
breadstuffs, macaroni, rice and
other cereals; butter or margarine
and the fats used in cooking.

Find Lamphrey Eel
At Granite Falls

Granite Falls-A lamphrey eel
a foot in length which clung to
the back of a pickerel was found
in the river near Granite Falls by
John Kruse, commercial fisher
man. The eel was pulled from the
pickerel and the game fish re-
leased in the water, mighty glad
to get rid of its passenger.
The lamphrey eel is found in
both fresh and salt water, grow
ing to three feet in the latter. It
attaches itself to other fish, as
well as to boats and rocks in the
water.
Its mouth is like suction cup
and it uses its three or four rows
of sharp, pointed teeth to dig into
the flesh of the fish and then
sucks the blood. It's color is a
dark greyish green on back and
a lighter grey in under.
