to locate their line Of fight. but
when you do, If you can use a crow
call and are properly concealed, you
can have some superlative shooting.
One Of our friends last weekend
used up Is boxes of shells in two
trips.
One Of the biggest crow roosts Is
in the scrub woods along the north
and south sides of East Capitol
street, around the $500 block. These
birds feed in nearby Maryland and
Virginia during the day and pile
into the roost every night. OF
course, no one Is allowed to
shoot them In the District, which
seems a pity. There are many
thousands, and the nearby farmers
would benefit by their destruction,
to say nothing of the song birds
whose eggs and young are destroyed
by these black narauders.
A recent survey of is leading
quail-hunting States revealed that
game farms and artificial stocking
as a means Of increasing quail
populations are being abandoned
throughout the Nation, according
to q report from I. T. Quinn, execu-
tive director of the Virginia Com
mission of Game and Inland Fish
cries. Most States are turning to
habitat improvement as the only
practical way to build up the bird
crop and improve hunting. Vir-
ginia, however, will continue to raise
quail in conjunction with wild turkey
at its turkey farm in Cumberland
County, mainly as . matter of in
surance In the event Of a severe
blizzard which might deplete the
brood stocks over a wide area, such
as happened around Warrenton
and Leesburg a few years ago.
Those Of our readers who are
planning a vacation this year in
West Virginia's park recreational
areas should make applications to
the Conservation Commission as
promptly after March 10 as possible.
West Virginians will be given first
chance at reservations in the States
recreational areas, which their
money helps support, during the
first ten days Of March. After the
expiration Of that period, they will
have to take their chances along
with applications from outside
States. Because Of limited facilities,
only small part Of the applications
for cabins can be taken care Of.

. right-hand slugger this time, quite
different from the fancy boxer
jabber models Of 1915 and 1916. All
times he was accused Of inability
to punch his way out Of wet

The District colored middleweight
made his first hometown stand In
four months last night at Turner's

way to blast out four-round win
over Carmen De John Of Buffalo.
He won on disqualification when
Garments brother, Ralph De John,
jumped into the ring to save him
from further punishment. Referee
Marty Gallagher was about to
award Bee Bee TKO anyway, as
Carmen had just taken his second
nine-count Of the fourth and was
in real trouble.
Bee Bee started swinging in the
opening round, and gave De john
q good diet Of leather all the way,
Hard right-hand shots hurt the
Buffalo boy as early as the first
heat. That continued in the Sec
ond, and In the third Bee Bee
added some jolting left hooks to
his attack. He was well In front
on points when the end came.

Gu. 'sCoach Receive,
Friendly Scrapbook
Gliding His Record
By Lewis. r. Atchison

Book OF the month, year and CEN
tury for Coach Ben lola Of Cath
olic Universitys basket ball team is
q handsomely embossed scrapbook,
presented to him with mock for
mality at the Touchdown Club, con-
tanning a wise-cracking record Of
this years Cardinal five. You
could've knocked him down with a
bounce pass when President Bingo
Flynn handed 1t over.
nAll season Zola received fan mail
from a character signing himself
"Buzzer," who kidded, encouraged.
and completely baf1ed him. The let
ters were postmarked from cities all
over the United States, then began
arriving from Rome, Cairo, Pales-
tine and South America. Between
losing ball games, his hair, peace Of
mind and receiving the mysterious
mail, Zola was just a Jump ahead of
the man in the white coat. He
hadn't the faintest notion who
'Buzzer" might be.
The scrapbook, written entirely in
verse that would make Joe Holman
pistachio with envy, concludes with
confession that the cuprits-for
"Buzzer" was twins - were Hobie
OMeara, the sports official and
Ben's lifelong friend, and Chick
De Young. They contrived those far.
flung postmarks through airline pi-
let friends, and the book is a peace
offering to atone for their mischief.
Free Wheeling in Free Verse.

From then on they take q pen
mans holiday, wheeling in free
verse through Zola's career, from
Eastern High School and George
town up to now. The names Of
Tommy Nolan, Don Gibeau, Bernie
Lieb, Bones" Courtney, Barney
Kane, Charley Guyon, Carroll Shore.
Harry Bassin and a host of others
are made part Of the record. But 1t
Is zola's tenure at G. U. that re-
ceives their major attention.
On one occasion they mailed him
small, wooden box, containing an
action shot showing one player high
in the air. They drew a sparkplug
OF the seat of his pants, attached
couple Of wires to it, running down
through the box, and described the
contraption as newly Invented
buzzer, operated from the bench by
remote control, something every
successful coach should have" On
another page after lauding zola's
men in Homeric phrase for a VIC
tory, the authors added a photo, in
which they neatly amputated with
paintbrush leg of all opposing
players. Then, in dogged doggerel,
they took the Cards to task for
picking on cripples.
Zola Isn't Complaining.
Ironically, the book went to
"press" before the seasons end and
does not have G. US complete A.
game winning streak, but zola isn't
complaining. The volume, for all its
panning and punning, will remain
one Of the treasures of his sports
career and this is notice to Messrs.
OMeara and De Young that they,
expert engravers though they may
be, are in the wrong business.
