ranking open jumpers Of the country
were entered in this spectacular
event but only one visitor from the
East got into the ribbons. On the
third jump-off Rocksie prevailed
over Cavalryman, who took the sec
ond award. The third ribbon went
to Arnold's Way, owned by Leon
Arnold and ridden by Mickey Maglll.
and fourth to Pompein, owned by
Mrs. Sally Jones Sexton of Gran
vile. Ohio, and ridden by Bobby
Conneen.
Had Margaret Cotter entered the
last event on the program, the touch
and out. the jumper tricolor ribbon
might have been pinned on Rocksie,
for when that class was called Rock
sic was leading with 18 points. Tar
Boy, owned by C. " Henkel, ir.. of
Statesville, N. c., had 16 points, and
Bryn Du Cadet, owned by Mrs. Sally
Jones Sexton, had Is points toward
the jumper championship. The ef-
forts made by Rocksie in winning
the skyscraper and triple bar were so
great, however, it was asking too
much of one animal to try again in
third event, so the touch and out
went to Tar Boy. Bryn Du Cadet
received the second award and Lis
beth Stiegs Hi-Ho took third place.
BY this victory Tar Boy won the
open jumper championship with 21
points, and Bryn Du Cadets second
brought him even with Rocksle

night. London is playing out the

that was picked up by Bob Gebbes.
He passed to Jimmy Gatschene in
front of the net and Gatschene
scored.
Jimmy Baudino evened the count
when he batted the puck between
Goalie Harvey Teno's legs after
taking pass from Francis Ruelle.
A few minutes later Bob Stoddart

it took eight stitches to close the
wound.
Bill Anderson gave Holzbaugh
the lead with one second to play

Detroiters never were headed.
In the third period Detroit
scored twice. Bernie RuelIe took
a puck as it bounced off the stick

BOSTON. Jan. Don't get any

But the Wings are NOT a great

Eventually greatness may come TO
them
This is the word which comes
straight from the man who should
know-Jack Adams, the Wings
manager. who led his team into
Boston today for tonight's game
with the Bruins.
THEY'RE GOOD ON ROAD
whats put the team on top,
more than anything else. Is hus-
tie and battle" the Wings boss
added THE fellows sell out as
hard on the road as they do
when they're playing at home.
That's made a big difference
In our standing this season"
Another general item which has
lifted the Wings into a contending
spot. according to Adams, is their
confidence.
The boys know they're good.
They've beaten all the clubs this
wear. and figure what's heen
done already can be done again."
Individual play of course. has
played an important part in the
Wings sensational rise. Adams

tional reasons why the Wings are
whore they are today:
The play Of Goalie Johnny Now

His round tongue works in and out
of the pulp in a methodical fashion,
and by now his face needs washing.
The snail breathes through tiny
opening where the snail joins the
shell, and can be seen opening and
contracting as the air is drawn into
the shell.
The eggs of snails are laid under
stones and decaying leaves. They
are not difficult to find, as they are
as large as small peas, transparent
and covered with soft shells. They
are held together by mucus. AS soon
as the baby snail matches, it has a
shell with only one spiral turn In
it. 1t may be a right or a left
spiraled snail, depending on the way
the spiral took its first turn.
AS the small snail takes on size,
it adds layer after layer to the shell
on the rim about the opening
which is called the lip. Count the
ridges on mother snail and on the
baby, and see how many baby must
grow. Birds and other guests of the
garden are the natural foes of the
snail. I hope you can witness the
extreme caution the snail takes
when any of her arch foes is present

almost like saying. How are you
feeling, this wonderful spring day?"
The garden snail always leaves a
silver note behind. Though he
travels on one foot, it makes jour-
ney for one so handicapped. This
foot has flanges along the sides.
These secrete a sticky substance
that enables the snail to hold fast
to the new position taken, and 1t
can let go at will. Thus the shiny
note recording the trip.
Since the snail always travels with
his house on his back. he lives an
independent life and can withdraw
from the world in a most efficient
manner. During the winter, the en-
trance to the home is closed and
locked; not by one door, but several
all made of a waterproof sub
stance.
Watch a snail get ready for a
walk. First of all, his head and
something like horns bubble out of
the door. OF course, these are not
horns, but eye stalks. Each stalk
has an eye on the tip and arranged
so the eye can be pulled back into
the hollow-like stalk if danger
threatens. These eyes are for a
long distance and to take In the
landscape, for just below them will
be found another pair of horns,
which serve as feelers. And if the
snail wishes to get a better view,
he can stand on the tip of his tail,
and further, If there is something to
which be can fasten his walking
fluid, he can go even higher.
Have you ever watched a snail
eating his dinner? If it is a luscious
tomato, he will stretch himself up
as far as his front toe will take him,
then he works his way into the
fruit. Reaching this place, he really
