Evening Star Games
Attract Bill HuIse,
Famed Mile Runner

Bill Hulse. the former New York
University IC4A mile champion who
holds the record for the fastest
United States mile outdoors, wrote
that you can count on me-" for
The Evening Star-A. A. U. track
meet at the Armory January 3.
Hulse will compete in the mile
run in the Sugar Bowl meet and will
arrive few hours before the meet
begins, accompanied by a competi-
tor, Browning Ross of Villanova.
Hulse is the Gene Venske of a
few years ago. Where the latter al
ways trailed Glenn Cunningham,
Hulse has been trailing Gil Dodds
in the same manner and in his
greatest performance also was a
second place flnish-to Gunder
Hagg.
In mile run in Boston Hulse
posted 4:060 mile, the fastest out
door time by an American, but Hagg
was few steps ahead.
Hulse has run here on two previ-
Gus occasions. He won special
three-quarter mile invitation in the
&C" meet in 1914 and several years
ago led the N. Y. U. tWo-mile relay
team to a victory over Fordham at
Uline Arena. He runs the 800 and
$500 meters and also the two-mile.
Ross has posted a 4:16 mile. Other
distance stars will be added to the
field.

Terp Five Faces Fast
LoyoIa After Opening
Win at Westminster

The University of Maryland will
continue it's rivalry with Mason
Dixon teams tonight when it opens
its home basket ball schedule
against champion Loyola of Balti-
more at College Park at 8::15.
Coach Flucie Stewart, who said
he was counting on Johnny Edwards
and Bill Brown from last year and
didn't know who else, proved to be
right in the Terps' opener last night
as Brown and Edwards scored more
than half the points in the 63-58
triumph over Western Maryland at
Westminster.
Maryland worked under fairly
comfortable margin for most of the
game, but the Terrors pulled up to
$3.50 at one time before the Terps
staged slight comeback. 1t was
rough, with 49 fouls called.
The Grayhounds figured to give
Maryland considerably more opposi-
ton tonight. Led by Jim Lacy, the
Nations second highest scorer last
year and good a1l-around court
man, Loyola has lost only one game
this season and that by a 2-point
margin to La Sale.
Eddie Crecenze, 5-foot-5 playmaker
and former all-Ohio courtman with
Massillon and Bill Vanish, all-Penn-
sylvania last year for the famed
Allentown High five, supported the
Terps stars with 10 and 13 points.
Edwards scored II and Brown Is.
Walt Sibiski was in his usual star
role for the Terrors with 18 points.

boys couldn't 60 if they didn't de-
pend upon football.
"On the other hand" Howard, a
former Alabama star, continued,
they are carrying this business of
actually buying college football
players and paying them salaries
too far.
"A lot Of the colleges are doing
it, and let me tell you that a lot of
great coaches wouldn't be so great
If they didn't have the boys. Those
guys certainly make things rough
on everybody else, brother.
I'D like to see them do something
about this recruiting. I'd like to see
all schools allow the boys about the
same thing and let them 60 to COL

Everybody would get enough boys
this way"
The more than 60 coaches, athletic
directors and members of athletic
councils from the Southern Confer

discuss possible changes in the Sec

The gridiron was a topic Slant

meet in four years. I remember
one match with Maryland we
figured to tie when Bernstein
lost the first bout to Red Doerr.
We were trailing, 80, when
Katalinas looked down the bench
at the boys who hadn't fought
yet and said, the next guy who
loses has got me to fight He
meant it, too, and we got q draw
out of it.
"The greatest thrill ever got
out of a match, happened when I
was sitting on the bench. In 1910
Maryland protested Bunsa,
Turner and myself, because we
had boxed as freshmen, and c. u.

was beating Ed McKinnon of
Washington State for the ma
tional intercollegiate 165-pound
championship before $4,000 fans
at Wisconsin in 1899. He went
to the semifinals in 1888 at the
University of Richmond but lost
a hotly disputed decision.
He was a honey" recalled
La Fond. Against Miami one
night I warned him that their
165-pounder had a vicious left
hook he liked to cross over a
right. Bingo sometimes led with
the right and told him to be
careful and not do it. Well, they
went to the middle of the ring
and the first punch Bingo throws
is that right and he caught Cam
eron flush on the chin and
knocked him out.
I did exactly as you told me,
Eddie" he said, coming back to
the corner. And, of course, all
the kids on the bench thought I
really was wizard"
Bernstein and Benny Alper-
stein of Maryland were the two
cleverest fighters Slant ever saw
in college, and Turner was one
of the hardest punchers. M. La
Fond would like to have them all
back this year because he could
use them.

The crouching, weaving form
IN the ring at Catholic Univer-
sity unmistakably was but,
no, it couldn't be Fred Slant.
He'd been gone these last seven
years. The build was about the
same, although a trifle heavier in
the bread basket, and none of
Eddie La Fond's fighters-cer-
tainly none of the current class
cracked those bull-whip lefts and
rights with Bingo's gusto.
"It is Stant," said La Fond,
edging up to us, stopwatch in
hand. He's working with my
heavyweight Charley Rohr. Still
a cutie, isn't he? figure if Rohr
doesn't learn anything from him
he never will. I've given Charley
all the theory, but he'll get 10
times as much out of a workout
like this. Golly, when I think
back to what we used to have
here"
What do you mean about
what you used to have?" asked
Slant, drifting into the conver-
sation as the round ended.
There's Davey Bernstein over
there. You've got Jay Turner
working with the boys and I saw
Joe Bunsa here the other day.
You've got your old team :"
Eyes, but they don't do me any
good sitting in the grandhstand,"
La Fond replied.
Slant has been back in town
since September, he told us. He's
studying law at C. U. and it keeps
his nose buried in books 10 hours
a day.

too rough, still have more than an
even chance of excellent sport. Most
Of the big fish are caught trolling
deep at this time of the year, al
though occasionally the fish sur
face for brief periods. Therefore,
generally speaking, 1t requires con-
siderable tackle to go after them,
as the deep-Water trolling needs
plenty OF lead to take the lures
down.
A. chunk of lead, weighing a
pound or more, naturally acts as
somewhat of deterrent to the
fighting qualities of even a sizable
striper. Anglers can obviate the use
of extremely heavy sinkers to con-
siderable extent by changing to
somewhat different tackle for this
type of fishing. The all-metal lines,
usually made Of monel or stainless
steel, offer far less resistance to the
water pressure, and require much
lighter trolling sinkers to get to the
proper depth. For those who use
linen line a smaller sized line can
be used if one has more of it on
the reel. We find all too many
anglers depending upon short
lengths of heavy test line. Line
not exceeding 36-pound test, known
as 12-thread line, is amply large, |
and because of its smaller diameter
and less drag will permit the use
of lighter sinkers. However, troll
ing with 12-thread or even g.
thread line should not be attempted
with less than $50 yards on the reel,
and 200 yards would be safer. Even
then one should not attempt to do
much horsing of the fish.
Good linen lines cost real money
these days, and deserve better care
than they receive at the hands of
the average saltwater angler. Muir
ray B. Angel, president of the B. F.
Gladding Co., famous linemakers for
over 130 years, gives the following
advice for lengthening the life of
linen line after it has been used in
salt water. First 1t should be washed
thoroughly in three changes of fresh
water, preferably soaking it for sew
eral hours. 1t then should be dried
on a line dryer, where warm, dry
air can circulate around it. Never
stretch or wind the line around any
sharp object or rusty nail.

WALLACE MARKET
OPEN z MORE DAYS
No Sales Will Be Held To-
day Because OF Armis-
tice Day Holiday

WALLACE, Nov. 10-The Wal
lace tobacco market tonight need
ed to sell only 65,928 more
pounds of tobacco to reach It's
goal of 100000 pounds for
the year, John Skies, sales su-
pervisor, reported.
With sales today of 1873, 1876
pounds the market has sold A.
934,O72 pounds since Aug. Is
when the 1947 marketing season
opened.
Already this is over million
pounds more than the market has
sold in any one season before.
Records for the market were
largely destroyed during two
big warehouse fires here last
year. But the biggest single sea-
son the Wallace market has had
prior to this year some 13,500,-
900 pounds of the weed were
knocked off.
With two more sales days to
60 before the season ends Wal
lace was almost certain to go over
the 100000 pound top with
probably several thousand pounds
to spare.
There will be no sales here to-
morrow which is Armistice Day,
holiday being observed by to-
bacco markets in all belts.
In expressing their thanks to
farmers for helping get the Wal
lace market to the local top this
year, Warehousemen Bill Hussey,
Oscar Blanchard and Rack Rack
ley, sales leaders, urged farmers
everywhere to bring their tobac-
co on to Wallace for the final
two days of sales.
1--WE promise to do everything
possible to get the highest
money" these warehousemen said
tonight. We're happy to be
reaching our 15,000,00O-pound
goal, but we would be pleased
even better if our price aver
age runs up to the top"

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

When Suzy's small head with
the feathery dark hair was low
cred intently over another pic
ture Alison's thoughts strayed
It had been such a long
time since she had seen Sam
and she felt a piercing longing
to see him. The feeling was like
a swelling river becoming more
intensified as the winter days
went on. And she could not
speak of him. Only Suzy and Te-
resa could speak of him. Only
they spoke to him when he tele-
phoned, Suzy brightly, asking
questions of the farm she was
beginning to know, and Teresa
charmingly, her warm, throaty
voice transported to the large,
almost bare hall in the house
in Virginia where Sam stood be
side teakwood table. A sea-
going Tarrant had brought the
table back from India long
time ago, he had told Alison
one day.
Philip stirred in her mind as
if he would not be forgotten.
Philip, his quiet, decent friend
liness, his tenderness. A man
can be tender also. When she
had met him for lunch last Sat-
urday (having to look at her
watch more than she cared to
because she had to hurry home
so Annette would leave) he had
made her feel, unhappily, his
need of her. 1t was as if he
had been trying to say, 81 need
you, Alison" Had he known,
she thought, that she had never
been able to refuse anyone's
need of her, perhaps he would
have put it into words and she,
returning his honesty, would
have committed herself into his
keeping. BY his own unselfish-
ness Philip made you unself;sh.
He made you think, "It doesn't
matter how I feel if l can make
Philip happy, if I can return
to him some of that which he
has given to others" He led
you to the edge of a dangerous
commitmen. She might we'll
wake up one day married to
Philip with every vital in
gredient in their marriage ex-
cept love.
The ringing of the bell was
so sudden and sharp and unex-
pected it seemed to shatter her.
Getting to the door was a race
between Suzy and herself. AS
usual Suzy won. But at once the
child stepped back, her
thoughts turned IN upon nerSeJ1
at the sight of a strange, gilt
tering woman.
Nicola still glittered. The i'm
preston Alison had taken back
to Vermont with her of a won1-
an who glittered need not
change in the present. For the
pin or clip or whatever it was
on Nicolas smart black hat was
a shining thing as was also the
sleek black satin dress she wore
beneath the great silver fox
jacket. Her eyes were still dark
and merry and worldly and
wise and she still looked as if
she cared only for clothes and
laughter and men Her mouth
was her own creation. Against
