Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-01-18
Bird Corner
Conducted by the Henderson
Bird Club

The Henderson Bird Club had made
definite plans for taking bird cen
sus on December 26, 1885. Several
small groups of club members had
been appointed to count the birds
from several points within a fifteen
mile area, and what should be our
luck but the coldest day of the sea-
son.
However, one group of three went
out and braved the cold rain for an
hour and were quite repaid by count
ing mourning doves, one redheaded
woodpecker, blue jays, 2 crows, 2
black-capped chickadees, 1 Carolina
wren, English sparrows, 8 cardi-
mails, 2 white-throated sparrows, 6
slate-colored juncos, 20 song spar
rows and a flock of about so or 60
goldfinches.
1t was a great disappointment not
to be able to complete the census
but we were to stay in the field
six hours of any single day during
Christmas week and having waited
It'll the last day we were unable to
do this on account of the weather.
We certainly hope we will be success
ful next year in joining the other
clubs of the State in taking the bird
census.
The following is a list of birds
made up from the Chapel Hill CEN
sus of 1898 and 1884 and the Raleigh
census of 1896 with a few others
This list was sent to. the Henderson
Bird Club by the Editor of The Chat,
DR.. John Grey, with the statement
that no one has found all these birds
in one day. Some of the species in
the list are very rare. For example
the catbird has been seen in North
Carolina in winter only four times in
2e years.
We hope you will keep the list and
compare your own field trip lists with
it. Anything unusual seen, please
report it to the Henderson Bird Club

CHICAGO, Jan. IA G.N.SD.
Big Ten basketball coaches were
shifting their lineups today IN
preparation for the full round of
conference games tonight.
Undefeated Minnesota, now re.
garded as the team to beat in the
scramble for the Western Confer
ence cage championship, invades
Michigan; Ohio State invades
Northwestern; Wisconsin meets
Indiana at Lafayette; Illinois jour
neys to Chicago; and Purdue hits
the Iowa campus.
Minnesota takes a record of two
conference wins over Chicago and
Iowa to Ann Arbor tonight, max
ing the clash there the Standout
of the five conference games
scheduled. The Wolverines were
cast in the role of the underdogs
as they set out to snap Mime
sofas eight-game winning streak
this year and a two-year string
Of 18 wins in a row.
Purdue, undefeated in its one
conference game so far, was
favored over Iowa, and Ohio State,
the other unbeaten team in its one
big ten engagements, was given a
slight edge over Northwestern al
though the Wildcats will be dan
gerous if they can shake off their
shooting slump.
Coach Dutch Lonborg of North
western still was shifting his line
up. The Wildcats, with two losses
in the conference to date, will
start with Bob Shepard shifted
from center to forward. At the
other forward post will be Les
Harman, with Bob Koble taking
over at center. The biggest job,
however, will fall on the shoulders
Of guards Ad Vance and Bob
Voights, who will be assigned to
stop Capt. Jim Hull, Ohio's biggest
scoring threat.

There are so many thrills or
the diamond during the course
of 154-game schedule that play
ers and umpires alike become cal
loused. On the surface it might
seem at times that it is just q
cold-blooded game. But it's a diff
ferent story when you see the re
actions in the clubhouse after q
team has won the flag.
The old college spirit may not
be realized in every battle, but
take a few instances offhand
such as Earl McNeeley's hit that
drove home Muddy Ruel with the
run that made the Nationals
world champions in 1924.
The sight of Mickey Cochrane
carrying the mail on Goslin's hit
with the run in his shoes that
meant Detroit's first world cham
pionship. A picture of Bob Feller
in the dressing room after hav-
ing established an all-time major
league record with 18 strikeouts
in a nine-inning game, against the
hard-hitting Tigers.
Can you visualize the Joy in the
Yankee club house the day Joe
Di Maggie hit a ninth-inning
homer off Bob Feller with the
bags loaded to win the hall game? J.?
THE COLLEGE SPIRIT
There are thousands of spirited,
hair raising episodes every year
that crop up in a baseball park.
Yes, times without number that
the old college cheering does have
its inning.
One of the finest bits Of sports
manship l have ever seen took
place on Decoration Day in Yankee
Stadium. last season. Jack Will
son. poSSessor of one Of the best
fast balls in either league, was
away to good start. He had
been going great guns with a win
ming streak of six straight. His
club, the Red Sox, was battling
the Yankees tooth and nail in the
second game of a double header.
The Yankees were sorely in need
of this victory, but the Sox were
creeping close.
A TOUGH ONE
Into the last half of the ninth
inning with a 4-to-3 lead, Flash"
Gordon reached first base on a
pass. He went to second on
Dickey's out, and remained on
the bag when Cronin took Sci
kinks fly.
Red Rolfe hit a hard ground
ball to Pinkey Higgins, but made
a bad throw to Jimmy Foxx,
high and wide.
The game was over with that
wild heave. Higgins felt pretty
bad about his wild peg and
showed it as he started for the
clubhouse. Jack Wilson came up,
threw his arm around the de-
jected Higgins shoulders, ana
they walked off the field to-
gether.
No pitcher in the world wanted
to win that bali game more than
Wilson. He was hurt to the bone
with the loss, but he was the first
man on the club to console his
erring teammate.
That inc ent made a great hit
with the fans, writer's and players.

Woodlock saw the declaration or
independence as a basically religl-
Gus document in affirming God as
the creator of man and the con-
sequent sacredness and equality OF
human personality
He deplored the lack of religion
in public education and again cited
the John Dewey society as chief
violator. Woodlock listed as the
general tenets of the Dewey group
the concept of a universe without
final ends; that man is as much
product of this process as are all
other visible things; that God as o.
being does not exist: and that there
is no enduring moral law of fixed
