CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Detroit lost
the American League pennant to st.

on top in the number of night games

The Tigers, one of three league
teams not having lights in their

New York, also without lights in

record of II wins and six losses.
The Yankees won the honors in 1943

Washington, playing So night
games, more than any other club,
won rs and lost 33. while the cham
pion Browns won 80 of their after
dusk contests.
The weatherman was extremely
kind to the league, the elements
causing probably the lowest number
OF postponements in history.
The leagues service bureau said
only IS games were postponed last
season because of inclement weather
as compared with an average of 65

total football plays, Neverman de-
clared, yet those plays produced two
thirds of all high school fatalities
-Four of the nine prep football deaths
last fall were directly traceable to
forward pass plays while two re-
suited from kick-offs.
He emphasized that seven of the
reported fatalities occurred in No.
vember and suggested that "sched-
ules might well be studied and de-
termined on the basis of boys well
being rather than on the playing of
a game on every possible date"
Neverman also recommended thor
ough medical examinations prior to
both preliminary and regular sea-
sons, improvement of equipment
certain definite rest periods for spe-
cific types of injuries and more thor
ough preseason conditioning.
Quarterback Allan Shafer, IT, of
the University of Wisconsin, was the
lone college fatality.

The report, submitted by P. F.

deaths directly attributed to foot

6 on sandlots, 2 on athletic clubs

Neverman, who was aided in the
survey by DR.. Floyd Eastwood,
Purdue's noted statistician, de-
scribed the forward pass and kick
off plays as "by far the most dan
gerous."
The report estimated that about
$4,000 boys played high school
football and between $1,000 and

OUTDOORS

One of the most diappointing of
wild-fowl seasons will close within
eight days. Despite the presence of
large numbers of ducks and geese
in this area the shooting has con-
tinued extremely spotty and during
the last week, when the shooting
should have been at it's height, there
wasn't any, at least If the Federal
regulations were observed. We know
the following accounts may be cold
comfort. but they are typical of
what we have all been experiencing
Two weeks ago, in the section of
the Potomac between Dahlgren and
Indianhead, which is famous can
vasback country, thousands of ducks
were in evidence all day. Today the
natural feed in that area is ex-
hausted and there will be few ducks
unless northeaster drives them in
for shelter. Bee Prescott with Paul
and Mrs. Mickey, spent two days
in one of the best blind locations IN
this area with only four ducks 70
compensate. Prescott continued
through the next day with zero
bag. Your scribe, in company with
Henry Latimer, joined him the
fourth day One flock of four cam
vasbacks decoyed early In the morn
ing and from then on we watched
a few small flights trade up and
down the river The following two
days this same blind was occupied
by Sam Clark and Hobby Hobson,
two wildfowlers of note, who bagged
only four ducks.
Earle Milkwick, Rufus G.. Poole
and Squadron Leader Briese of the
RCAF put in three tough days at
Mattamuskeet last week. The ducks
and geese fed through the moonlit,
starry nights and rested quietly on
the water out of gunshot for the
most part during the days. Their
bag was nine geese and four ducks
for the period, which for Malta
muskeet is just nothing.
T. o. Nichols and party put in
three disheartening days on Back
Bay, down near Nags Head. T. O.
says the ducks Just aren't there.
There was plenty of feed, excellent
decoy sets, blinds strategically
placed, but bluebird weather. Bay
men all along Currituck, Albemarle
and Back Bay say the shooting this
fall has been poor.
