Navy Due Terp Vote Of Thanks
For Turyn's Stellar Grid Pluy
By George Huber

College coaches beating the high
school bushes for prospective foot
ball talent some years ago over
looked Victor Turyn at Holden, W..
Va. That was a real oversight be-
cause Quarterback Turyn is one OF
the big guns on the highly success
full University of Maryland team.
It was an easy mistake to make,
though, because Vic wasn't even
PLAYING high school football. So how
was a college scout to- know that
this Turyn, who was just one of the
little boys on the basket ball team,
would turn out to be quite football
player? Especially when Turyn
himself had no football ambition?
The Navy physical conditioning
program gets credit for a real assist
in uncovering the football talent
that Turyn DIDN'T even know ne
had. Vic explains it this way;
I'VE came back from the South
west Pacific for rest and was put
through refresher course at VIII!
liam Jewell College in Missouri. The
Navy made us play games. footoail
among them, to get us back into
physical shape. Paul Bryant came
through there and he saw us play
ing. Until then I hadn't played
much football--none in high school
and Just few sandlot games with
the kids on the corner. But Bryant
liked me and fixed it so Id be an
aviation cadet at North Carolina
Prefiight."
Passing Record Sparkies.
BRYANT, later a Maryland coach,
but then coaching Pref1ight, want
ed Turyn for his football team.
When the war slowed up and high
point men were discharged. Vic
came along with Bryant to Mary
land.
Bryant now is at Kentucky, but
Vic still is going plenty strong and
better all the time for the Old
Liners. With practically no foot
ball experience behind him, he was
good enough to be Bryants No.

Home Talent Threat to FrunkIin Field

A number Of years ago it was a
fellow by the name OF Marty Brill
who journeyed to Franklin Field
with a Notre Dame team and played
havoc with Penn. Brill had ma
circulated at Penn and transferred
to South Bend. He became one of
footballs finest blocking backs, but
the day he played here. the late
Knute Rockne made him runner,
and he ran for three touchdowns.
In 1896, Harry Harrison, who
played his high school football about
IL blocks from the Penn campus,
romped over Franklin Field in a
Penn State uniform. He ran back
two kickoffs for more than 80 yards
and touchdowns.

The bull took aim at its new target and
set off on another rumbling charge The
clown. George Mills, raced for an exit gate.
As he escaped. the bull was again distracted,
this time by clown who popped up out of a
small barrel, then popped back again. The
bull caught the barrel with his horns and
sent it careening across the turf.
Again and again he tossed the barrel, roll
ing it back and forth until the other con-
testants could maneuver the beast out of the
arena. The crowd shouted its hilarious
approval. And Jasbo Fulkerson came out of
the barrel to 60 to the hospital and get his
face sewn back together.
A Real Czossbxeed
ASK any rodeo rider which of the men in
the show deserve the biggest hand and
chances are he'll point to the men the crowd
laughs at. Without the clowns few cowboys
would dare to ride the vicious Brahma bull.
No one seems to know what makes the
Brahma the mean beast it is. Thoroughbred
Brahmas, imported from India, are gentle
as lambs. Once in America, however, they're
crossed with native cattle to provide breed
almost completely immune from the heat
of the Southwest plains And somewhere
along the way, Nature makes its only pun
The crossbreed becomes, indeed, a cross
breed.
The bronco, when it throws its rider, will
rear and buck in wild, impersonal fury. But
the Brahma is out to kill, with hoofs or
horns. And the clown is usually the only
man to stop him.

Rodeo clowns do lot more
than make you laugh. Watch
one kick a Brahma bull in
the rump and save cowboy
TASBo FULKERsoN has been rodeo clown
for the past l8 years. In between the
calf-roping, bronco-busting and bulldogging
events, Jasbo - in checked shirt and trou-
sers miles too big for him - BUNDLES about
the arena in highly humorous fashion
Rodeo fans think he's one of the funniest
men around.
In his l8 years on the circuit, Jasbo has
also had his arm broken seven times, his
legs more times than he can remember and
has been gored more times than he likes to
think of. He and his buddies have also won
the respect of several hundred cowboys
whose lives they've saved.
Take the Fort Worth rodeo in March,
1916. A Brahma bull had just thrown its
rider. Paving the ground nervously, the
animal suddenly wheeled, lowered its head
and charged the dazed contestant.
Spectators held their breath. No one
noticed clown loping across the turf, wav-
ing a battered derby hat No one, that is,
except the bull, who caught the hat
flush across the snout.
The brute veered off its course, halted
and turned to glare at the clown. The clown
glared back. Then he waggled his fingers in
a highly derogatory manner. The crowd
loved it, roared with laughter.

Employees Will Get Refund On Disability Tax

Steps are being taken today to refund money contributed under the Territorial Workmen's Disa- bility Trust Fund by employees. The Attorney Generals office is mailing out questionnaires and in structions to employers who em- ployed five or more employees prior to July l, 1946, at which time the act was suspended.
 The law was repealed by the l946 Territorial Legislature, but no provisions have been made pre- viously for refunding the money collected from employees. Under the original law, employees, where there were five or more, were re- quired to contribute up to S2.5O per month into a trust fund for medical, surgical and hospital services.
 In the instructions, assistant Territorial attorney general, Frank L. Oliver said: "The repeating law made no provisions regarding the disposition of the trust fund bal ances. Since the escheat law would operate on unclaimed de- posits, the Territory has defin- ite interest in these funds, and we, therefore, outline a procedure for you to follow"
 Oliver said that a pro rata re- fund of the balance remaining should be immediately refunded to employees. After refunding, he said, the total remaining balance should be deposited in a separate bank trust account to be paid to the Territorial Treasurer at the end of the escheat period

First Navy "SOfar'' Station Placed In Operation


 it's first tests in the Pacific.
 A number of four-pound and six-pOund bombs, recently drop ped in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, were heard and success fully recorded 2,3OO miles away by the first "SOFAR" station at Monterey, Calf.
 The Monterey station is the firct of four stations which will com plete the Pacific net of listening and recording points. The other stations will be located at PoIat Arena, northwest of San Francis co, Calif.; Kaneohe and Hilo, Ter ritory of Hawaii.
 When completed and in opera tion late this year, the Pacific net will provide a means for locating survivors of sea disasters with an ultimate accuracy of a plus or mi nus two miles. In some instances at present it is necessary to seal ch thousands of miles of ocean for planes lost at sea.
 The name "SOFAR" is derived from the phrase Sound Fixing and Ranging. Operation of the system involves the dropping of signal bombs by survivors on planes, life raftS and the receipt of reports ol the bombs detonatiOns by shore stations. The bombs may be drop ped before or after a plane crash, or automatically released from T plane in the event of fatal crash. The sound transmitted through the water at a speed of approxi- mately a mile a second, and is heard over the "SOFAR" station loudspeaker as rising kettledrum crescendo which cuts off sharply. Receipt of the signal sound starts a paper tape recorder and Simu,- toneously sounds an alarm to alert the station operator. The paper tape provides a permanent record and a means of timing the signal to an accuracy of about a tenth of a second.
 Upon receipt of a signal, each "SOFAR" station immediately transmits the information to a control center. Because of the rel atively slow speed of sound in wa ter (about 4,800 feet per second as much as half an hour might elapse between receipt of the ex- plosion signal by the first and last stations. From the difference in time of arrival of the signal at each pair of stations, the control center will determine the exact To- cation of the crash, using special charts similar to those designed for LORAN. This position is then radioed to a rescue plane, already in the air.
 The "SOFAR" stations are op- erated by means of hydrophones planted in depths of approximately 1900 feet and connected by sub marine cable to the equipment ashore. Duplicate cable and hy- drophone installations are made at each station in order to continue service in event of failure of any one unit.
 "SOFAR" depends on an under water sound zone, the existence of which was confirmed by a by product of wartime submarine de-
