Payne Leads Clemson
To 26-13 Win Over
Boston College
His Kicks, Passes Tell
As Tigers Come Back
To Overhaul Eagles
By the Associated Press.

By the ASsoclateG Press.
BOSTON, Oct. 1.-THE educated
toe of Clemsons Walter Payne gave
the comeback hopes of Boston
College a resounding kick in the seat
of the trousers today.
The undefeated Tigers. sparked by
this 186-pound tailback from Green
vile. S. c.. battled their way to
26-l3 triumph over Boston's Eagles
in spine -tingling battle before 25,-
900 fans at windswept Fenway Park.
The Tigers came roaring back
from a 0-6 first quarter deficit to
chalk up their four touchdowns and
it was big Walter who led them on
a virtually personality conducted tour
to the first three.
Clemson Comes Back Fast.
Boston coming back after weeks
layof subsequent to its 2l-7 rout
by Tulane, scored first in terrific
first period in which the two elevens
appeared evenly matched 1t was
an 80-yard march in the dying
minutes of the session, ClimaXed by
a 25-yard pass from Mickey Con-
molly to Frank Maznicki in the Glenn
son end zone. Maznicki missed the
try for point.
Then big Walter unlimbered his
toe in the second period and hoisted
a tremendous 50-yard boot. which
just hit the coffin corner and spun
outside on the Boston l. Connolly's
return was poor and the Tigers
Snarled in for the kill.
Charley Timmons cracked out 8
in two tries and then Joe Blalock
brought it to the 10 on an end
around. Timmons ripped off and
then bulled over for the score, adding
the extra point for good measure.
Payne Goes on Rampage.
The pestiferouS Payne came back
to annoy the Eagles in the third,
first with 40-yard pass to Blalock
after fake kick, which put the ball
on Boston's 9, and then a scoring
pass to the same Blalock, after which
Timmons converted.
Payne threw another to Blalock
for a score. early in the fourth,
after big Walter had shared Boston
tumble. Harry Franklin accounted
for the final tally in the dying
seconds OF the game with a 9-yard
spring around his left end.

These able assistants of ours are

In the dead of night 1t is time we
had favorable report made public
of their activities in our behalf. They
are constructive members of the fly
Ing corps, protecting our property

who would relieve us of several bill

gophers, moles, squirrels and such
folks Without the expert aid of
the barn owls to keep this ground
army in check, precious little would
be left for us.
Owls have wonderful vision. Their
eyes are in the center of two circles
of soft feathers and they can detect
the slightest movement. Further,
the owl can turn his head as a
human does, and will twist his head
around so lar IN one OlfectlOn YOU
are sure he is going to wiring his own
neck. But he snaps it around in the
other direction before this calamity
could happen, and faster than the
human eye can follow.
Barn owls and their relatives are
also blessed with a keen sense of
hearing. They often detect the
stealthy steps of the wee mouse be-
fore he comes into sight range OF the

wing feathers are edged with down.

owl are as strong as steel, as sharp
as a needle. The hunter tears the

swallowing fur. bones and all. The
nutritious parts are digested and
the remainder is formed into oblong
pellets and spit out.
Owls establish their domiciles in
all sorts of placeS-holloW trees,
church steepleS, attics, holes in
steep banks, deserted nests and in
deed anywhere they can find a
home, since barns are becoming
more scarce AS the years roll by.
Not much attention is paid to the
comfort of the triplets, or perhaps
even as many as 10 children, as far
