CONTRACT A RUMOR

II never diyulge any contract
figures and I am sure DOrais
would not" said Mandel. "Any
suggestions as To contract terms
are just guesses."
There IS no question DoraiS
would be valuable not only as a
coach but as an administrative
officer of the Lions. National Foot
ball League officials, Detroit news
papermen, virtually every one who
has been sounded ott on the
'DOraIS for Lions" idea belepe-the
University of Detroit athletic
director IS made to order for the
Job.
Apparently the only one hest
tating is -DoraiS, who refused a
previous offer This hesitation is
now said TO be disappearing be-
cause Of the growing uncertainty
in the athletic situation at Uni
VerSity of Detroit.

Bird Season Over

The migratory waterfowl season,
based upon federal regulations and
the pheasant, ruffed grouse and
Hungarian partridge season, fixed
by state regulation, are over and
now Ohio's hunting is confined to
the deer season in three southern
Ohio counties which extends
through December Is, and the rab-
bit season, which continues through
January IL.
The season on hunting and trap
ping of raccoon does not close until
January 10, while the inland trap
ping season for opossum and skunk
runs through January Is, as it does
in the inland trapping district for
mink and muslrat. In the Lake Erie
trapping district the last day for
trapping of mink and muskrat is
March Is.

you have discovered into execution.
If an alley is found to hold or back
up, the most logical thing to do
first is to start your ball either on
the very right hand corner Of the
alley or within an inch or two Of
the corner. If the alley carries the
ball to the left, or as we say, "is
a run alley" your ball must be
started at some distance to the lett
Of the corner.
1t is not necessary for a back-Gp
or straight-ball bowler to change
his starting spot to the same degree
as the hook bowler. There are
times when it becomes necessary
for strong hook bowler to move
to the left as much as Ia to l8
inches in order to overcome the
vagaries of some alleys, and IN
other instances it may be necessary
for him to start his ball from the
very right hand corner.
Then, again, there are some al
leys that are almost impossible to
hit" to advantage from any angle,
in which case a slight change in
speed, either faster or slower, will
sometimes enable you to "find" the
alley.
Some exceptionally proficient
bowlers start their ball from prac-
tically the same spot on every alley
and simply roll either a speedier or
slower ball-mOre speed when the
ball carries to the left and less
speed when the ball holds back Il
trifle.
Others turn their ball more on
alleys that hold, or they move to
different spots nearer the corner.
If the alleys hook or run consid-
erably, they turn their ball less or
move inside.
There are, however, cases when
it is necessary for one to start his
ball near the corner even when AN
alley hooks fast. When this is
found to be the case the angle at
which the ball is pointed must be
changed. That is, instead of point
ing your ball towards the right a
trifle it is started parallel to the
outside edge of the alley with a
little added speed, preventing the
ball from hooking as easily as
would be the case when having it
roll Immediately after releasing it..
At times it becomes necessary to
pitch the ball out on the alley say
three, four feet, or even farther,
beyond the foul line in order to pre-
vent it from hooking too quickly.
Very few bowlers are able to
control a ball so well that they can
play all alleys from abou' the same
spot generally from near the right
hand corner) by hooking, straight
ening, or backing up a ball by the
use of the wrist or forearm,

Deer Hunting
Season On

COLUMBUS, Dec. 6-Ohio's first
open season on deer in so years
got under way Monday, December
6, in three Ohio counties in South.
ern Ohio-Scioto, Pike and Adams
counties.
There has been much speculation
on just how big the deer popula-
tion in Ohio is, particularly the
herd of whitetails in the Roosevelt
Game Preserve-Shawnee Forest
area and no doubt Ohio nimrods
will be able to answer this ques-
tion one of these days.
The season will extend through
December Is.
Due tor Surprise.
1t is likely that the hundreds of
hunters who signed up for permits
will get a surprise. There undoubt-
edly are some first timers" in the
crowd who will find that deer hunt
ing is quite an art and there should
be no surprise if the number of
bucks bagged during the season do
not number so very high.
In the first place, the terrain
over which deer in Southern Ohio
may be hunted is next to mountain
Gus and is quite different from that
in which the average nimrod hunts
rabbits and pheasants. Besides the
deer is a wary critter and the first
few shots that resounded in the
forest areas are certain to put
them on their guard.
The Roosevelt Game Preserve
was dedicated on December 7, 1922.
1t is located in the Little Smokes
region--a section that Onions who
have not visited it will marvel at
from a scenic standpoint.

Gordon
Bumpers
M owe Up
By Ed Mandy

The Gordon Bumpers are ON the
move in the Standard League.
They won three again last to i'm
prove their position in the league.
1t is a typical race for the Cor
dons. Off to bad start they
wallowed around couple weeks
and then begin to win games. The
victims last mite were Toledo
Pressed Steel.
National Supply is getting back
in the groove, after being IN a
slump the last couple weeks which
cost them the first position. Math-
er Spring was the unhappy oppo-
nent, losing three to the former.
In the meantime the Standard
Commutator the current leaders
were holding their own by taking
three from DeVilbiss. Cap Wek-
vert (6O2) and Roy O'Dell (585)
doing the heavy work for the win
ners.
Bingham Stamping an other
front runner was only able to
take two from the A. C. Hopping
Pressmen to lose a little ground
to Standard Commutator and Ma
tional Supply.
ALL STAR LEAGUE
National Supply after being
consoled by other members of the
league because of very bad open
ing game came back strong, shoot
ing 924 and a big 1000 game to
take two from the Champion out
fit who, by the way, were way off
the team last mite.
This is news, Willys-Overland
shoots a big 796 in the second
game. Their first bad game in
this league. But they did alright
in the other two which they took
from Kent-0wens. 1t seems to
the writer that Kent-Owens sneak
in a win now and then over the
tough opponents and always drop
three to the weaker ones. How
come boys?
Spicer keglers can't stand pros
perity. Being in second place and
only a few games out of first
they had an excellent chance to
pick up a game but on hearing
that Kent-Owens took W-0 for
one they promptly Accommodated
the leaders by dropping their last
game to Surface Combustion.
Acklin Stamping was the only
team able to make a clean sweep.

feet from the foul line, but
when rolling at a single pin in
the back row of the set-up,
the object is 60 feet 80 inches from
the foul-line. Therefore, allowance
must be made for the variation IL
the distance from the foul-line to
the pin being bowled at.
The bowler who rolls a straight
ball must naturally be more ac-
curate than one who rolls hook
or curve because the straight ball
has only a narrow margin in which
to work, while the hook or curve
ball. coming from the front and
side of the setap, enters the pins
at such an angle so as to enable
the ball to carry the five-pin to a
better advantage.
Carrying That Five Pin
Even though a great many bowl
ers apparently believe all that is
necessary to bring about a strike,
is to have the ball contact the head
pin, we caution those who wish to
eventually roll an effective ball,
that it is necessary for the ball to
carry the five-pin out properly, the
five-pin, in fact, being the king pin
of the set. Unless the five-pin IL
carried correctly, no great number
of strikes can be expected.
When beginning to bowl, and
even after having participated in
quite a number of games, a large
percentage of bowlers, in fact, too
large a percentage, make no at
tempt whatever to pick out par
ticular spot on the alley or at the
foul-line from which to start their
ball, but instead, just heave the
ball in the general direction of the
pins, and accept either gracefully
or ungracefully, whatever the
Goddess of Luck" gives them.
This element Of LUCK is not as pre-
dominant as a great many untn-
formed bowlers believe it to be. A
bowler who applies thought to his
game does not depend upon luck,
but brings about a good score by
first planning or deciding just how
he is TO approach the problem of
knocking down those "pesky" ten
pins at the far end of the alley
which at times seem to move out of
the path Of the ball.
Learn to Play Alley
1t must be borne in mind that
even though all regulation bowling
alleys are alike in length, pins in
all cases are spotted in the same
manner, all pins being II inches
apart center to center; yet, some
alleys are what we term, natural;
some hold or back-up, while others
have tendency to make a ball
hook. Therefore in view Of the
foregoing, it is at all times very
essential that a bowler should def
nitely determine just how his par
ticular style of delivery will act on
the various alleys, This can be de-
termined by either watching the
action Of a ball rolled by some
other bowler, or by the course that
your ball takes.
When attempting to learn the
"run" Of an alley by observing The
bowling Of another individual, you
must first know definitely just
what sort of delivery the indi-
yidual uses, otherwise, you cannot
hope to learn anything as to the
peculiarities Of the alley he is bowl
ing on. After you have definitely
concluded that an alley is either
natural, back-up or hook alley,
you may then proceed TO put what
