Season after season, wherever
hunters gather. the question of how
game is best cooked pops up and
the argument is on again.
This year, despite the scarcity OF
game in the homes Of nimrods, we
have run into this never ending con-
troversy several times and know
little more about 1t than before.
We still insist upland birds and
waterfowl should be cooked on the
top Of the fire.
Gourmets say the full flavor OF
game is spoiled by overlooking and
we'll agree with that, and add that
any bird roasted in the oven is dry
and tasteless dish. When George
Dyer recently quoted a noted chef's
cooking time of 20 minutes per
pound for rabbit and quail and but
several more for duck, we found 1t
at great variance with our ideas OF
time and cooking Con top of the
stove) until a fork will penetrate
the flesh easily. BY this method, 20
minutes is not enough.
Possibly it is our poor taste, but
we'll agree on one point-that any
game prepared too soon after kill
ing will be tough. Birds and animals
should be hung from one day to a
week.
Fishing Is Good Off Marathon.
The first blue marlin of the
season was caught at Binini this
week, which was to be expected. for
year after year the initial spindle
bill is taken just before Christmas.
More important. the blue. esti-
mated at 300 pounds, was caught
by an angler fishing out of Mara
thon. This stretch along the Flori-
da Keys some day will prove to be
as good big game fishing grounds
as any along the Florida coast. we
believe Many local anglers have
been fishing there for the past sew
eral seasons and with surprising
results.

Orleans with its dense population Of
football fans has rolled up its civic

the 200-odd competitors in the tour
neys held around Washington.
Il have talked it over with several
of our golfers and some have been
lukewarm about taking prizes in De-
fense bonds or stamps" she said.
Probably it Is natural for all golf
ers to want something tangible to
show they have won prize. A De-
fense bond or stamp is tangible, but
hardly is a fit ornament for the
trophy case or the mantel."
There's another angle to the prize
idea about which Mrs. Weible didn't
speak. Woman golfers in the tour
naments around town are amateurs.
and amateurs are not supposed to
accept money prizes. Defense bonds
and stamps are money. although
they may not be Immediately ne
gotiable. But Mrs. Weible says the
Women's Western Golf Association
will adopt the bond and stamp plan
for its 1912 Journeys. which would
seem to indicate that it will be all
right with the national powers that
be.
Mrs. Weible finds sentiment gen.

plete feminine schedule next year,
although some women have said the
schedule might well be curtailed.
Rock Creek Gang Tough.
Even the best amateur golfer in
Maryland cannot do anything
against a bunch of fellows who
couldn't bust 80 on good. full-sized
golf course. That crowd OF par
shooters at Rock Creek Park don't
bar any one, even the pros. Bring
'em all on. even your best pro"
said Pro AL Price and Manager
Harry Graham.
These boys here may not be so
good on other courses but they GER
tainly know this one. And they
don't need a handicap from any
one. pro or top amateur"
Volney Burnett, the Maryland
State amateur champ, has been
playing with the Rock Creek Park
boys lately and while Volney has
been getting along all right. he isn't
a big winner, as you might expect
of the best amateur in the State
during 1941. Volney did win in
a sweepstakes tourney yesterday, but
If form runs true he'll lose today.
It's almost altogether a matter
of local knowledge. Price and
Graham declare, admitting that
while most Of the boys at Rock
Greek Park are not tournament
winners, they know their way
around that narrow, hilly little
layout.
boy, I've seen 'em deliberately
play 40 yards to the right of a
green, knowing the ball will kick
down through a trap and end on the
putting surface. The trick nowadays
Is in guaging the kick and roll Of
q frozen green. And these boys
know it perfectly" said Graham.
They're all capable Of shooting par
every time they start"
Among the topliners in amateur
golf who have taken q whirl at
that tough Rock Creek Park crowd
are Levi Yoder, Annapolis Roads
pro, now on the winter tournament
tour; AL Jamison, former Bradley

Sacred Heart Quintet
Gets Tourney Title
And Star Trophy
Fast 90-Pounders Score;
Central Branch Boys
Annex Two Crowns

A smart. fast little basket ball
team from Sacred Heart School
holds the 9o-pound championship
Of Washington Boys Clubs annual
Christmas cage tournament and IN
addition it owns The Evening Star
trophy, annually awarded to the
outstanding team In this holiday
event.
Sacred Heart captured its title
yesterday by topping Central Branch
Celtics, 28-19, in the finals. Central
Branch took two of the other crowns,
however, the Senators winning over
Georgetown Branch, 1926, for the
105-pound honors and the Ameri-
cans topping Georgetown again,
1920, in the 120-pound division. In
the feature the 135-pound crown
went TO Alexandria Boys Club over
Hayes A. c., 37-35, largely through
the efforts Of Center Bud Burling
who took scoring honors with 81
points.
Coached by Bob Dwyer. former
player at st. Johns High here and
at Loyola High in Chicago, Sacred
Heart is far from being an unknown
team. 1t plays regularly in the
Parochial School League, where 1t
is defending champion, and last
year it also took the Washington
Baltimore parochial title. In four
years in that loop it has dropped only
seven games. 1t also is well-knoWn
for being the first small team to
use the zone defense around here,
which style since has been adopted
by many of the younger quints
Because he had only four players
on his team under the 90-pound
limit, Dwyer borrowed a player, Bud
Gletner, from st. Matthews. Bud
was a big help yesterday too with
his 13 points. Other players were
Charles Rupert, Joe McGrath, Nick
Pannelli and Irish Griffen.

kicked two field goals and 13 con-
versions for a total of 100 points

yards from scrimmage.
This season the bulky fullback
dropped off bit, He piled up
only 13 touchdowns, one field goal
and 10 extra points to retain the

shade over 40 yards on ZIG kicks
during his four-year college career
and completed So passes of 112 at
