FENDER IS TOPS
AT GUN CLUB HERE

w. H. Peuder firing with a con-
sistency unmatched by any OF his
fellow competitors, captured high
scoring honors at the weekly fir
ing session of the Lake Forest Ri
file club by shooting an average
of 96x1O0 points over the indoor
gallery course.
With O. A Thomas, former club
champion, now IN the armed sezv-
ice, Fender had things pretty much
his own way in the two-stage
match, scoring 95x100 points on his
first target and 97x100 points on
his second target: to give him an
average of SO for the evening, and
a substantial lead over his near
est competitors. R. U. Bell. F. W.
Seward and L. W. Stuckey. The
latter three shooters averaged 80
IL points to tie for second place,
and, of the three. Seward was the
only man to threaten Fender for
high scoring hcnors on any single
target, coming within one point OF
the 97x100 score which Fender
rolled up On one record target.
The club, coached by Edmund
McLaurin, certified National Rifle
Association instructor, smallbore
and service rifles, has lost several
men to the draft and through vol
untary enllstments. New men will
be enrolled to I'll these vacancies,
and an advanced course of small

officials stated.
Members OF the club have re-
oeived an invitation to participate

officials stated that attendance will
depend on available transportation
and the ability of the individuals
to take leave Of absence from work

men throughout the state to attend
open tourne ments sanctioned by
the National Rifle Association and
affiliated clubs, but since the be.

taxpayers whose obligations aren't

For quick trip through the

case of our old friend Aloysius

The Amphibious Widgets Co. is

His sos week will come to

collector of Internal Revenue.
The first thing it calls for is es'

Aloysius gets an exemption OF

Subtracted from $4940, thai
leaves $285O subject to income tax
He looks for that amount on the
table of figures on the work sheet

Now he must figure his victory

Major Sport Dropped
By N. c. State College

RALEIGH, April 7. -P)- The
general scarcity of opponents and
inability to field a complete team
caused N, C. State College to drop
it's plans for track team this
summer, J. L. Vonglohn, business
manager of athletics announced to-
day.
Vonglohn said that two meets
had been scheduled with Davidson
but that the western North Car
DINA school cancelled it's schedule
yesterday, leaving State with no
definitely scheduled opponents.
Track thus became the first major
sport at the college to be dropped
because of the war.
Offers to schedule meets with
Navy Viz stocked schools were
declined because of the inexperi-
ence of State students from which

We have an idea there will be a
lot of such unanswerable questions
fired at the osacles, with some
of the female bettors wanting to
know why jockey has such an
atriouc color scheme in his
monkey suit and why that beautiful
horse with a name the same as
Aunt Josie's first husband couldn' t
win, as Aunt Jcsie's husband was
a stopper.
They already have an infor-
nation service pertaining to the

logical innovation as it would be
a sorry state of affairs if a custo-
mer was allowed to leave the track

Jeans just because there was no.
body there to tell him how to get
rid of it.
If the new Information service
wants to be of real value it should
be able to answer such simple
questions as which horse will win
the eighth race. That's something
the fans really want to know,
rather than why a horse was
scratched, even if, as one lady
said, she say the horse just before
the race and there wasn't scratch
on him.
The fans who have had very
bad day also roight like to know
how they are going to get home,
and where they can rent a barrel.

War Has Little Effect
On Hunting Of Ducks

WASHINGTON, April 2 lR -
Despite increased induction into
the armed forces and limitation
on civilian ammunition, the war
apparently has had little effect
on duck hunting.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
disclosed today that based on the
number of duck stamps sold, there
we're but 56,338 fewer water fowl
hunters in the nation in the 1912
1943 season than in the proceed
ing year.
The service gave these COM
parative figures, the latest avail
able: 1942-1943, 1885 stamps
sold; 1941-1942, 1890

NEW YORK, April Up The
New York racing season opens to-
morrow at Jamaica, and with it a
new information service for the
fans. The idea Is to furnish a more
direct contract between the racing
public and the track management,
who are connected only by money
passing through the mutuel WIN
doWs.
The patrons will be free to ask
any questions on matters which
puzzle them. ana if they ask what
they really want to knew we are
afraid the track would have to
have a corps of Solomons behind
the desk, as the fans might start
in by asking Why they don't get a
cut in the breskage, and go on
from there.
Breakage is the odd pennies
swept up from the floor after the
days play. 1t belongs to the
patrons, of course, but if the pay
off on a hnrss figures at $3.50,
say, it would be foolish to go to
all the trouble OF paying the nine
cents on every winning ticket, so
the payoff is figured as $3.50. and
the track and state just pocket
the rest.
Or some fan might come up and
ask why a horse which had finish.

R-Bill Nicholson, who led the Ma
tlonal League last year with %

still doesn't knew which lettuce he
wants-the kind he grows on his
farm or the kind the Chicago Cubs
are willing to unfold to keep him

Although Jim Gallagher, the
Cubs vice president, roared into
French Lick for a pow-woW with
his star outfielder, Nick's status
after two days in spring camp still
remains vague
Gallaghe- says Nicholson has
agreed to terms But on the other
hand, Nick is threatening to re-
turn to his 1000 acre farm at Ches-
tertown, Nd, any day now and
will not admit that he has signed
a 1914 cub pact
On the basis Of his power at the
plate last season, Nicholson was
reported to have asked for mod
est S17,50O to play ball with the
Cubs this year only to discover
that Gallagher had anchored him.
self to a $3.50 offer.
Nicholson appears willing to
shrug off the label as the Cubs
highest-pald athlete in favor OF be-
ing known as a farmer. BY re-
turning to Maryland he will keep
deferred draft rating because of
lis agricultural work.

Nicholson went with the Cubs to

MEADOWS TO Be
RETIRED AUG. 81

RALEIGH, April 7-RETrustees
of East Carolina Teachers College,
in closed meeting, voted TO-DAY
to grant President Leon r. Mea-
dows' request that he be retired
August 81 and left to their May
meeting the task of choosing a
successor.
The vote was 10 to /, with Arthur
Corey, Greenville attorney, the
lone holdout. The absent trustee
was Mrs. w. B. Murphy OF Snow
Hill.
Motion to grant Meadows re-
quest was made by F. o. Harding,
another Greenville attorney, after
brief discussion.
Also deferred was an effort to
obtain the resignation, or dis
charge, of at least three members
of the faculty, who Meadows pre-
viously charged were disloyal to
the administration. The faculty
members received notice about IL
days ago to appear before the next
board meeting, but the notlces
were rescinded without public COM
ment.
During a hearing of the state
auditors allegations that Meadows
had not satisfa ctorily accounted for
funds totaling more than $4,000.
faculty members told the trustees
that certain faculty members had
been actively opposing Meadows
for some time and that at least
one aspired to the presidency.
Meadows was exonerated Of
those allegations, 8 to 4.
An attempt today to grant Mea'
dows a leave of absence with pay
from now until August 81, and Their
allow him retirement benefits, was
defeated to 3. Voting for the
motion were Corey, J. H. Waldrol
of Greenville and A. B. Andrews
