@. How high a fence should be
used to confine our turkeys?
A. A fence to confine turkeys need
not be high. One not over 4 it. is
most desirable and will keep prac-
tically all the birds confined as well
as a 6 or z #. fence.
@. At what age should gifts be Sc
lected for their place in the brood
SOW herd?
A. Many hog breeders believe that
growth and development are aids to
selection. In the experimental hog
herd at the Research Farm of the
Ralston Purina Co. at Gray Summit,
Mo-, gifts are selected for future
herd sows when they are six months
of age. Until that time they are
handled the same as the market
hogs for maximum growth and de-
velopment.
@. Can you give us some tips on
sheep raising?
A. Here are some pointers for the
sheepman as drawn up by Purdue
University:
l. Wean lambs and rest ewes
2 months before breeding.
2. Trim feet of rams and ewes
before the breeding season.
3. Tag the ewes. Clip the
heads of woolly-faced sheep.
4. Shear breeding rams by
mid-September.
S. Use a strong, heavy boned,
vigorous ram of good type
for each IS to 40 ewes.
6. Feed the ewes literally dur
ing the winter, and use good
winter pasture when avail
able.
7. Feed ewes so they will gain
Is to 40 pounds before
lambing.
8. Feed loose iodized salt to
ewes during the CESSATION
period. Block salt wears
down the teeth of sheep.
@. What constitutes a 'brace" Of
dogs?
A. Two dogs of the same breed
matched closely for color, type, and
size. They do not necessarily have
to be of the same sex.
O.. What breeds are used to pro-
duce cross-bred broiler chicks?
A. Usually a Barred Plymouth
Rock male is crossed with a Rhode
Island Red or New Hampshire fe-
male.

The Winter Park baseball team

Hines informed the Star yester-

The Parkers expect to use the

FORMER COLLEGE

CRAYST0NE FIVE
YMCA Varsity Meets Iven-
hoe Quintet In Pre-
liminary Contest
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

The powerful Graystone Au-stars
trek to Wilmington today to try
their luck at routing the New Han
over High school Wildcats, who
are trouncing everything in their
|path in the Eastern A conference.
coach Leon Brodgen said last
might that the An-Star-Cat game
would start at 800 following a
Ipre-game tussle at $50 between
the Y. M. c. A. Varsity and Ivan
hoe.
Graystone, quint composed
mostly Of Marines that live ashore
in the Morehead City area, boast
one OF the best clubs in eastern
North Carolina, having a perfect
season. John Mercer, coach of the
.eam, has at his command players
from such colleges as Kingsly Prep.
University of West Virginia, Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh, Westminster
College, and the University Of In
diana plus several high school
stars. All in all, the squad aver
ages about six foot in height, which
will prove a big factor against the
small locals. In their last game,
the All-Stars came out on top So
to 81, and are anxious to stop the
rampaging Wildcats.
Brodgen's plans for tonight's tilt
were interrupted somewhat when
lanky Johnny McKoy failed to re-
port to practice because Of frac-
tured finger, which hampers him
in his shooting, and the other half
of the Mutt and Jeff combination,
w. A. Brown, stayed out with
cold. Both Brown and McKoy are
exceptional cagers, both being very
popular with Wilmington fans, es-
pecially the tiny Brown. Even
though both were out of action yes
terday, there is d chance that they
may take part in tonight.
If the duo is not prepared Tor the
battle, their places on the first
team will probably be filled by
Don Hyatt and Charlie Smith.
Smith has seen plenty of action
in the Cats last two affrays, and
may be called the six man on the
first string. 'Hacksaw' Tuttle, also
reserve, may alternate with
Hyatt if McKoy is not on hand.
The remainder of the initial line
up is composed Of regulars Luke
Collie, Teddy Fennell, and ace set
shot Billy Lee, who Ben Carnevall
of UNC secuted at Durham.
The Y. M. c. A. team In the
preliminary attraction is led by
Leonard McKoy, probably the best
basketball player ever to don
NHHS's toys. Leonard, who has
worked out continuously at High
school and the 'Y' in the past
weeks, is expected to display rare
form in the first fracas. r. l..
Church and tall Walter Deal are
also set to pace the ~ five along
with Harry Williams, another Kan
over High alumnus.
Little is known about Ivanhoe,
but that the team Is composed OF
discharged servicemen, who three
seasons ago rolled over basketball
rivals all over the state and won
three tournaments in succession be-
fore the five was broke up by the
nlayers being called into the serv-

IN Eager For Big League Spot
Nine Hanover Gridders
Aiming For Backfeld

The New Hanover spring train
ing sessions hit their stride yester-
day as varsity lettermen and junior
varsity stars continued to turn out
every day anxious for the condition
ing practice that Coaches Leon
Brodgen, Tom Davis, and Jap
Davis having MAPPED out for then
until March.
The majority OF the gridders are
going out for backfield positions,
especially the fast ends such as
Jim Gibson, Neal Patrick, Herman
Wick, Doc Venters, and Fritz
SteIljes. These pigskinners are
fighting with last seasons reserve
ball carriers for the TT formation
slots vacated by two lads on the
first team and three on the second.
Thus far it has been impossible
to tell who was getting the upper
hand, but it's a good bet that Her
man Wick may take over David
Bannerman's right halfback job,
and Jim Gibson or Neal Patrick,
the left half duties Of All-State
Kenneth Rogers.
Other in the backfield scramble
are Brian Mullinix, Dick Hanson,
Linwood Grissom, and Johnny
Daughtery.
The two lone first string backs
returning for another fling at the
rough-aad-tunnble sport are Louis
'Bubba' Sykes and Jimmy Piner.
Sykes. the best broken field runner
and ace passer of the 1945 club,
expects to star in '46 at his full
back position, but may be shifted
to quarterback. Piner, who took
over the quarterback job last sea-
son after three boys had failed at
the job, is still considered the top
prospect for the signal calling post
even though he can not boast a
good passing arm.
In the line, Jap Davis, the coach
Of that department., has Buddy
Bridges sure of one end and the
other flankmen, who do not stay in
the backfield. Billy Quarrels is a
good prospect for end as the lanky
gridder has grabbed every pass
coming his way in practice, but the
other six odd lads may push him
into the background.
The tackles are the weak spots
in the forward wall, for Davis has
only Butch Swart and Bobby Haas
in the first rank. There are no ex.
perienced reserves except those
from the Jayvees such as Dillon,

CHARLOTTE, Feb. IL. - There
were big Coans and little Coans,
young Coans and odd Coans, single
Coans and married Coans in the
greeting line at the station. Young
Gilbert Coan was coming in from
Texas, where he spent the oft-sea-
son with his wife's family. He vas
headed for the family home at Min
eral Springs, a village hard by
Charlotte.
His mother hadn't seen him in
a year, and the remainder OF the
family - father, brothers, sister
and sister-in-law were just as
anxious to see whether headlines
had turned this Laughing boy into
a man who takes himself ser1-
ously. They could have spent their
worry on other matters.
Gil Coan acts like a fellow who
never saw a sports page.
He has never seen Clark
Griffith, owner OF the Washington
club; manager Ossie Bluege or
Griffith Stadium. AS a matter OF
fact. he's never been in Wash
ington. When he goes to bat come
mid-April, it will be his first look
at big league game.
In case you're short on mem
ory. Coan is the kid outtielder
from Chattanooga who was named
the outstanding minor league
PLAYER of 1945. His .S72 led the
Southern Association. He set a
record for triples, 2S, showed the
way in doubles, home runs - and
stolen bases. It isn't very often
that a power hitter leads league
in stolen bases.
Wa shington had only to exer-
else its working agreement with
Chattanooga to obtain Coan while
other big league clubs fell all
