Sale OF Insurance,
Fenimore Finds
BY the A.seeiated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. Iii
Selling life insurance isn't much
different than playing football, ALL
America Bob Fenimore has con-
cluded after three weeks of fancy
broken field running to tackle wary
prospects.
The Blond Bomber, who graduated
from Oklahoma A & M College last
month after being made member
of tie All-America backf1eld In 1914
and 1945, decided to pass up a
chance at coaching and a partner
ship in his dads hardware store
at woodward, Okla, to sell insur-
ance.
IT was surprised at just how much
it is like a football game" Feni-
more said. you've got to really be
in condition to keep up with. every
thing. And you can't ever tell
when your competition will toss you
for loss just as you get to the
goal"
Fenimore, who still carries his
brief case as If it were a football,
is taking his new job seriously.
He plans to make insurance his life
work, but the company is permitting
him a leave during football season
to play pro football with the Chi
cago Bears.
He finds that his prospects like
to talk football with him and that's
right down his sideline.
There's only one trouble with
that" Fenimore confides. After
couple of hours of talking foot
ball, I get so wound up forget to
bring up the matter of an insurance
policy

Lions Face Clippers
With Chance 10 Tie
For Second Place

The Washington Lions hockey
club has a chance tonight to make
1t a 500 record for the season. If
they beat the Baltimore Orioles at
Uline Arena they'll have a record
Of "a wins, ~ losses and seven ties.
And what's more important, such
a victory would pull them up into
a second place tie with Boston
Olympics in Eastern League stand
ings.
Game time is $3.50. The squirting
Lions will be shooting for their
sixth straight undefeated match.
They were tied last Wednesday by
Baltimore, but before that won four
in q row.
Leroy Goldsworthy. q big Balti-
more favorite two seasons ago, has
succeeded Hank Roy as coach of the
Clippers and will be In charge of
them for the first time tonight.
One reason for Washington's re-
cent rise has been an improvement
in the defense. Tommy Campbell
and Guy Roach particularly have
been asparkle and Goalie Dave
Kemp has permitted only six pucks
to pass him in the last five games.
His mates meanwhile were getting
18 scores. Current sensation of the
Lions, though, is Winger Walter
Babey. He's the fastest man in
the league and Coach Jack Riley
has made increasing use of him
both when scoring punch or tight
defensive play was needed.

With nine-game lead over the

Greenkeepers' Clinic
Ignores Jap Beetle

The Middle Atlantic Greenkeep-
ers picked the most inappropriate
day of the year for their sixth an
nual short course yesterday at the
University of Maryland, but despite
the snowy setting DR.. Ernest N.
Cory pronounced the day success.
Most of the 46 in attendance were
from the Washington and Baltimore
districts, Cumberland and Aberdeen.
DR.. Cory, State entomologist and
director of the course. expected more
than 100, but weather conditions
prevented many from attending.
For the first time in years, the
principal discussion at the course
did not center around the japanese
beetle. The greenkeepers believe the
worst is over in this section after a
number of years in which the beetle
seriously damaged some of the local
layouts. Turf culture was the theme
of the conference.
Local golf professionals and green
keepers in attendance included
Tommy Ryan of Belle Haven, John
Leavell, new pro at Washington
Aviation, and r. P. Hines of George
town Prep, president of the Middle
Atlantic Greenkeepers Association.

at this time of the year, and taken
on fly rod and reel is no mean an
tagonist. Suckers live up to their
name in taking the bait, feeding
on the bottom over mud rich in
diatoms, midges, small mollusks and
worms with their rather small,
turned down mouths and gristly
lips. You should use gut or nylon
leader about 3 feet long, weighted
with a split-shot sinker and at
tached to your hook which should
be rather small-preferably size 6
to 10 snelled hook. Bait with small
worms, covering the hook well, and
fish the bottom of the deep holes
against the banks or the pools at
the foot of rifles where one usually
finds an eddy, and don't overlook
the smooth stretches of the stream.
Strike on any unusual movement of
the line and if you happen to hook
a large one, not only will he give you
a real battle, but he may well smash
your tackle If you are not careful
If you intend using a fly rod, by all
means take along a landing net
and don't forget to buy your fishing
license.

To Run in Widener
BY the kssoeiofed Press

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 21.-Ten prob
able starters were listed today for
the 10th running of the $4,000 add
ed Widener at Hialeah Park tomor-
row, with Calumet Farms Armed a
prohibitive favorite at 2-5 or less. A
crowd OF $4,000 was expected.
Armed won last Saturdays Nc

mile event.
Talon is weighted at 122 pounds,
with Jockey Conn McCreary up,
while Miss Grillo will carry 121 and
be ridden by Ruperto Donoso.
Talon, holder of the Argentine
IL mile record, scored impressively
in his North American debut on Feb
ruary IL at Hialeah in a 1b mile
allowance race.
Miss Grillo, Argentine Derby win
ner in 1945 and victor in the Ex-
terminator Handicap at Pimlico, has
been out OF the money in two starts
this winter.
The Florida owned Lets Dance,

last month"; will go at lis pounds
with Job Dean Jessop up and was
an early second choice at 5-1.
Fourth-weighted is Karl A. O'Con-
nor's Statesman, at 119 pounds, to be
ridden by Jockey OWE Scurlock.
Eternal Reward, owned by Angus
tus g. Nahm, will have Porter Rob-
erts up and carry 118 pounds, while
Shamrock Stables Westminster goes
at 116 with Jockey r. j. Martin up
Gustave Rings Respingo also gets
in at 116 pounds, but no boy is listed
Mrs. Aksel Wichfeld's Gable, to be
ridden by Jockey Ted Atkinson, gets
in under Ill pounds and Jake Sher's
Frere Jacques, grass-running star
will 60 at ITO pounds. No boy Is
listed for Frere Jacques.
If all goes as expected, Armed will
be flown to California Monday to
compete in the 100000 Santa Anita
on March 1. Victories tomorrow and
in the Santa Anita would make him
the greatest money-winning horse In
racing history.

Wisconsin, Battling
Ohio State, Seeks
.ToCIinch Title
by tho Assoeiosed Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Wisconsin's
fast and rugged basket ball team,
anxious to clinch a third Western
Conference title for Coach Bud
Foster since he took over 13 seasons
ago, will play its last 1947 home
game at Madison tomorrow when
the Badgers battle Ohio State in
one of four Big Nine games.
In other contests, third-place In
diana (5-3) plays at Iowa cd;
Minnesota (6-4) will be at Mich
igan (4-5), and second-place Illi-
ncis (6-3) meets last-place North
western (2-8) in Chicago Stadium.
In the other half of the stadium
double header, De Paul entertains
Kansas.
Wisconsin has won eight games
and lost one to lead the conference
race and the Badgers, on their home
floor, are favored to trip the
seventh place Buckeyes (3-5). The
Badgers will -play their last two
games ON foreign courts-at Purdue
on February "a, and at Minnesota
on March l.
AS Big Nine champion, Wisconsin
undoubtedly will be named to repre-
sent this district in the NCAA
tourney at New York's Madison
Square Garden. The Badgers repre-
sented the Midwest in 194l and won.
Indiana won the previous season,
the only two victories the Big Nine
has scored in the national cham
pionship.
Over the season, Wisconsin Is the
only team consistently to keep five
regulars among the Big Mines
scorers. The Badgers have won
three games by one point, two of
them on foreign courts, and Coach
Foster said, We've been lucky.
Back of that luck, however, Wiscon-
sin-driving for its 18th Western
Conference championship-has had
all of the sound qualities which
make g. championship team.
Among the Midwestern indepen-
dent schools, Notre Dame heads
East to meet Canisius at Buffalo,
N. Y, tomorrow and Madison
Square Garden clash with New York
University next Monday; Marquette
will be host to Bradley of Peoria,
Ill, at Milwaukee tomorrow; Boston
