Barrels

If you were in a quiz contest and were asked, ''Name the raw mate rials out of which whiskey is made" lam afraid there would be no pay-of for you if you did not include 'bar- rels' in your answer.
 The barrel is much more than a mere container for storing whiskey. It contributes definite flavor ele- ments to the whiskey. In the distill- ing business, these are known as ''ex- tractives." When whiskey comes off the still it is stored in charred, new oak casks.
 A great deal of attention and study is spent on barrels in a modern dis tillery because there are so many yarisbles in wood-so little uniform ity. For instance, barrels whose slaves were made from oak grown on the top of a ridge differ greatly from those made from oak that was grown on the middle slopes of the hill or in the bottoms. Various de- grees of exposure to winds, amount of sunshine, water, difference in soil composition, all have an effect on the characteristics of plant life. So the Ingredients extracted by the whlskey from the wood have variable HaveT characteristics.-
 Then there is the matter of the GhEl m the barrel; a fraction of an ineA, difference in the depth of the Ohaa makes a differencein in thsend- produces
 And, if you were asked, ''How lOuG uhould whisksy be kept in the wood i before it becomes good whiskey?N ...what would your answer be? VIII you let us help you out? The age when whiskey becomes fright" b. also variable. Some whislzies, like some wines, too, reach their peak of maturity earlier than others. FoR instance, Bourbon whiskey, made principally from corn, usually na- lures more rapidly than Rye. BouE~ bon whiskey which has been repos- ing in the wood for four years may Joe equivalent in maturity to Rye as five or six years. 1
 While it is true that all whiskaW 1 improves in quality in the woo&s there comes a time when it reaches { its peak of perfection, after which it i either remainsst or deteriorates in quality. Remember, whiskey draws certain flavor extractives out of the barrel slaves.
 It is good to remember then, that age, although important, is not the sole determining factor in the quail ity of whiskey. The expert might pass up a whiskey of greater age for one of lesser age, when the average layman would boast of the venera- ble years of his whiskey without taking other important factors into consideration.
 All of these variables are impor-> tant to the modern distiller. The barrels are typed, and the whisksy is typed according to age and domi- hant characteristics. And out of all this comes a library" of whiskey; eatalogued and indexed for the ex- pert blender whom you never see or know, but whom you compliment quite unconsciously when you say, Gee, this is fine drink of blended whisksyl'

The team preferred that the ball he held by Mohler rather than the substitute sophomore, and Mohler had the advantage of being in the heat of the competition.

 Later Jones explained that any time his players could think that quickly he was willing to have his commands disregarded.
 Notre Dame got nowhere with desperate passes in the last 60 sec- ondS.
 In between the passes that put the ball in position for the winning place-kick two Notre Dame men went up for a pass and came down pulling and tugging for the ball, each thinking the other Southern California receiver. The result was a loose ball, an incomplete pass and another opportunity for the Trojans.
 Had one of the Notre Dame play CTS hung onto the ball, Southern California hardly would have had another crack on the offense.
 On such little things are bis games decided.

 Fastest Back?
 Oklahoma's success this season is especially gratifying to the philo- sophical Lookabaugh because his outstanding star, blond, Bob Feni- more. was a big question mark be- cause of severe leg injury last year. Barred from all contact work during spring and summer training, Fenimore opened the season with the tremendous speed which enabled him to cover the 100 in 97.7 in track and which Lookabaugh believes en- titles the l88-pound sophomore tail back to recognition as the country's fastest all-around back.

 New York, Nov, 1 = O.P9 = A decisive victory by Devil Diver or twilight Tear in today's Pimlico Special probably would clinch the Horse of the Year" title for the win ner.
 As they go to the post at Pimlico, Md, for this $25,000 winner-take-au classic, Greentree Stables Devil Diver-outstanding handicap horse; and Calumet Farms Twilight Tear queen of the three-year-olds, are generally favored for the annual top equine award.
 Devil Diver, five-year-old bay son of St. Germans, has won seven stake events this year, over distances ranging from sprints to mile and half. His victories include the Paumonok, Toboggan, American Le- zion, Metropolitan. Whitney and Manhattan Fixtures. His only real rival for handicap honors is Mrs. Edward Mulrenan's First Fiddle. The Fiddle was eligible for today's Pimlico clessic, but has gone to California to point for Hollywood Park and Santa Anita events.
 Meanwhile, Twilight Tear - bay daughter of Bull Lea-has had brilliant year, winning 13 of 16 starts and finishing out of the money only once. She took most of the three year-old Filly specials, although up- set in the Alabama by Belair Studs Vienna. She proved her class against three-year-old colts by win- ming the Arlington classic, in which she beat her stablemate Pensive. AL fred P. Parker's By Jimminy-prom- inent contender for three-year- r-old honors-did not run in the Arling- ton classic.
 Walter Jefford's Sensational two- year-old, Pavot, will receive some consideration in the banoting for horse of the year; but it Is our opin- ion that he has little chance of win ming it because he travelled no dis tanceS.
 In today's Pimlico special, over the mile and S-16 route, only three entrants were slated to go to the post-Devil Diver, Twilight Tear and Christiana Stables Megogo, a brown three-year-old gelding that regis tered an upset victory Saturday in the Washington handicap at Laurel. This victory qualified Megogo for the Pimlico.
 Megogo started 20 times this year, winning five, placing twice, and showing thrice. He is given little chance against the other two start CTS. A three-horse field would be con- sidered small for most classics; but not for the Pimlico Special, which in seven previous runnings never has had more than four starters, and which once had only one-in 1922 when Whirlaway enjoyed his $l0,0O0 walkover, without another thor oughbred on the track.

OL|N, EX-CHAMP
 SOUNDS OFF
 ON MANAGER

Though he did not thretaen ta give the schnobbola of Manager George Sheppard going over" when he meets up with him Fri. day night at Buckingham Hall, BoI Olin, former light-heavyweighi champion and manager of Victoi Jade, main bout opponent of Whis. ting Willie Roache of Wilmington Delaware, took his typewriter ir hand to let Waterbury fans anc sportswriters know what the scort is from his side of the fence, rela. tive to the Waterbury AC main bout Friday.
 All the semi violent wordage be: tween Sheppard and Olin was caused by the fact that the former once "owned' Jade, claiming the ex-champ stole" his fighter. To that, boxer Bob has the following to report: in New York commit niuue from the Jacobs Beach front:
 New York City,
 October 31, 19445
 So MT. George Sheppard Is around shooting off his mouth that he is so sure that his Willie Roache. is4 going. to- win Friday night over my sensational little Polish battler. Well George and fans don't be surprised to see Vic- tor upset a title match and Shep- pards plans. Roache is tough rugged fighter but I know how to fight them rough guys and have been tutoring Jade how to stop Willie's wild rusheS and as- sure you people up there that Roache will stop more left jabs and right crosses Friday night than he ever did in his career.
 Yes. Jade did belong to Shep- uard and had bouts with him but thought he could better him self going with me and am biding nv time with him and, so far have done a marvellous job with him. He is only 20 years old ana if he listens to Ray and mysell hen be wearing the lightweight crown like did the lght-heavy- weight one.
 I am predicting that Frloay night Vic Jade will outpoint Wil- lie Roache and his Boston cham pionship match will go right into the waste basket.

HAGBERG SAYS EARLY SEASON
 PRESSURE OFF
BY CARL LUNDQU1ST United Press Staff Correspondent

ASA OAAgAA AACANADN v OA01 q United Press Staff COrrespondentl
 New York, November i. z (Up) - Commander Oscar (Swede) Hagberg, coach of Navy's eventually explosive football team, didn't come out of a submarine in the Pacific to preside over a gridiron loser, but he couldn't understand why his boys were being awarded" the mythical national championship as early as last August.
 Playing a scheui1e in which four of the five teams encountered to date were unbeaten and united when they met the midshipEner, their record of three victories and two defeats was understandable. But 1t knocked them out of the running as far as championship hopes were concerned and Hagberg is just as happy that the boys aren't bothered about that any more. And for what it is worth, he is convinced that the situation is going to be helpful in Navy's remaining games against Notre Dame at Baltimore Saturday and Cornell, Purdue and Army in succession after that.
 '@The pressure is off now, even though we are going up against another perfect record team in Notre Dame," he said. T wasn't worried when we got off to slow start. I always figured from the beginning that we might be one of those strong November teams. Well maybe we will be."
 Hagberg wasn't too elated over navy's 26 to 0 drubbing of highly rated Pennsylvania team because he believes that the offensive began rolling too slowly.
 "Irish" No Super-FOe
 "But I've a hunch that our boys found themselves at last in the third quarters after a first half in which they did everything wrong, he said. "When they weren't offside they were holding and when they didn't have man in motion they were caught crawling And do those penalties hurt. But we're better off now and steadier. All the boys needed was confidence, and I don't think we're going into the game against Notre Dame with any fear of a super-opponent."
 Hagberg singled out two backs, Clyde Scott of Smackover, Ark, and Bob Jenkins, who served a season on Alabama's Crimson tide, for Spe- cial praise.
 Scott, 75-pound fullback, is no giant as line plungerS go, but he has speed and momentum and drove through Penn's heavier line for two of the middle touchdowns,
 q am convinced that he got away as fast out of the single wing as ArmyiS backs move out of that quick breaking 'T" formation and we have the advantage of lot of deception to go with it." he said. He described Jenkins as the teams wcrk-horse, outstanding on passes, line backing and long running gains. Although he did not score, his runs against Penn set up three of the four touchdowns.
 The Navy-Notre Dame meeting highnghts the eastern program this week with other games including Army Villanova, Brown Guard Academy, Bucknell-New York Uni versity, Yale-Dartmouth, Pennsyl- vania Michiga Il, Syracuse Penn State, Lehigh- Rutgers, Cornell-Col- lumbia, Lafayette -Ursinus, and Con- necticut-City College of New York.

THIRD WARTIME
 BASEBALL DRAFT IS UNDER WAY
BY WALT BYERS Limited Press COrreSpOndent)

Chicago. Nov. 1-(UP) = Judge KeneSaw M. Landis desk became a bargain counter for representatives of Major League clubs today as basebalps annual grab-bag festival the third wartime player draft opened with the Philadelphia Phil lies. the last-place National League club getting first choice.
 Landis, baseball's high commits sioner, will not participate in the proceedings, however, because he is confined to the hospital for rest cure" He is expected to be dis charged and sent home later this week.
 A total of 58> Scjive payers were listed as eligible by the 10 operating Minor Leagues, ranging from class AA to class D. During normal years an average of about 10 play CTS were selected. but the wartime manpower shortage caused the big leagues to take g players in 1942 and 16 year ago.
 According to most of the attend ing big league officials. the bottom of the barrel was scraped in the previous wartime drafts and there are only splinters remaining. Branch Hickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers belittled this years meet ing while Manager Charley Grimm of the Chicago Cubs recently re- marked, there isn't player out side of the big leagues worth going across the street to sec"
 Maybe
 Despite the lack of enthusiasm, t ere is always a chance to find a 'caneuflaged star as witnessed in 1942 when the White Sox grabbed Ralph Hodgin in the draft. He was the American Leagues third best hitter in his big league debut m l943. Last year, Detroit picked Ed die May of Louisville and he re- turned the favor by sparkling the Tiger infield this year. Phil Vein traub hit .317 for the New York Giants after the Giants drafted him from Toledo.
 Ostensibly, the 1944 eligibles are an average lot, although one big league manager said that Pitcher Charles Sproull of Milwaukee ap- peared to be an outstanding pros pect.
 Most of the familiar names on the eligible list belong to players who have either failed to make the big leagues during earlier attempts or have given way to father time.
 Bush And Rot
 There was Otto Denning, Butfa- To catcher; Alex Mustaikis, Toronto hurler; Ed Levy. Milwaukee flrst baseman-outfielder and Billy Holm Los Angeles catcher-players who couldn't keep pace with faster com pany in previous years. Then there were a few old timers such as Guy Bush and Charley Root, who were in their pitching prime more than a decade ago.
 The selection prices are = Class A (American Association, Inter national and Coast League): $7,ooU' class Al and (South Association, Texas. and Eastern League) $6,0O0; class B (such as the Three-l League) $4,O00; class c (such as the Canadian American League) $2,- 500: and class D (such as the Bl- State League) $2,000.
 Only one player can be selected from each Minor League club un- less he is on the unrestricted llst. In such cases only the Major League bankroll is the limit.

 Chick Meehan, veteran coach. and thousands of others who saw the performance, consider Southern Ca1ifornia's IS points in the last 10 minutes, breaking a Notre Dame Jnbeaten streak at 26 late in the season of 1881, the greatest of foot bail feats.
 The Trojans certainly pulled that one out of the fire. Notre Dame led, 14-O, in South Bend with five min utes of the last quarter gone.
 Jim Musick broke his nose gain- ing five yards through the line from the Notre Dame 40, and Or vilel Mohler came in at quarterback with Gaius Shaver switching to full- back. Three reVerses with Sparling carrying put the ball on the 20, and Shaver scored on a lateral. Goal wa: kicked.

 Capt. Stanley Williamson and his mates thought of three previous one-point defeats by Notre Dame, and with the ball on the Trojans' IT their chance seemed remote.
 But two remarkabl passes-from Shaver to Sparling and Hall-ate up 63 yards and put now hungry Southern California varsity back in the thick of things.
