Ammunition, Killing Three
'COOns At Once

SOUTHPORT, Dec. 10 Bruins
wick county is this week present,
ing two decidedly screwy, but au-
thentic, sport stories, dealing with
hunting. ~
This week Rosie Flowers of Win
nabow was a member of a party
of deer drivers in the Green
Swamp, II miles from Southport.
A big buck deer came charging out
of the woods and Flowers took a
snapshot at it with his twelve
gauge gun, loaded with buckshot.
The buc ksprang into the air and
dropped dead, so did another big
buck just on the other side of the
one that Flowers shot at. In the
excitement of the moment he hao
not noticed the second animal, run
ming beside, the first.
Joel Moore, Jr., Southport schoo,
boy, also comes forward this week
with a verified story of an extra.
ordinary shooting feat. He was ou1
after squirrels and noticed a very
unusual looking nest" in the forks
OF a tree. With a view of brighten.
ing the tenants out. he fired a sho1
at the nest and was astonisheo
when it disappeared, breaking into
three pieces and three big racoons
coming hurting to the earth. They
mad huddled in a ball to keep warn
and the one shot killed ali three.

Tiers play for fun.
Everybody is happier, according
to James (Whitey) Hagan, Pitts
director of athletics, and the sys-

"There is a finer spirit among
the boys" explained Hagan, land
we're very happy about the whole
thing. It has operated about as
we expected. We don't win as
many ball games, but the boys
have more fun and the alumni are
beginning to swing back to our
point of view"
1t was two years ago that Pitt
accomplished the grid game,
causing DR.. John B. (Jock SUI

was the poorest the Partners had
had since 1912. They lost four, won
three and tied one.
Yet there was no yelling for the
scalp of Charley Bowser, former
Sutherland assistant who stepped
up to the headman's post with q
contract that runs through the 1941
season.
Furthermore, the record did not
mean the financial disaster it
would have in the old regime.
