A TIP TO THE GUNNERS

In selecting stock blank, OF
in choosing your rifle from sew
eral bolt action sporters on the
store rack, remember that hand
some is as handsome does, and
that a pretty grain with lots OF
curlicues and color shadingS
does not necessarily mean
strong stock or an accurate rifle
Regardless of any figure thai
may exist in the butt section
beware OF knotty sections for
ward of the comb, and shy away
from a grain running straigh
across the pistol grip so tina
fracture in fall is likely.
A crooked or ornate grain
structure In the forward part
of the stock often indicates
stresses Within the wood,
which increase the likelihood
of warpage, and consequent
inacuracy or impact shift in
damp weather. Grain along
the fOre-end should prefer
ably be dense and straight,
possibly with n slight bend or
bend or wave upward at the
fOre-end tip.

Weather Is
Favorable To
Mich. Pheosonts

LANSING, Jan.-More favor
able observing weather is be-
lieved partially responsible fol-
the marked jump in the number
of pheasant spotted by both
rural mail carriers and conser-
walton officers in their annual
December survey.
Over 500 rural mail carriers
reported seeing over 1880
ringnecks, or four birds per
hundred miles. In the 1948 De-
cember survey, 385 carriers OBJ
served nearly 1000 birds, OF
IT birds per hundred miles OF
checking.
Rural mailmen make their
observation VIII lie on routine
runs in the 38 counties which
comprise the primary pheasant
range.
Conservation officers also had
the advantage of early and
heavy December snowfall which
made birds more visible. Off
GERS saw 1857 pheasant COM
pared to 637 in December, 1948
This amounts to 3.3 birds per
hundred miles as against IL
birds per hundred miles in the
1948 check.
Sex ratio, considering both
surveys, shifted from one cock
for every two hens to one cock
for every three hens.
Mild weather during the early
part of this winter has made il
easy on the pheasant stock
With the break in the weather
the birds now are in a better
position to face adverse condi.
tions that still may come. They
have had little trouble finding
corn, giant ragweed and other
seeds to tide them over.

Sports Arena
Will Foee Bucks
In Hockey Tilt
Sunday. Jan. ~

The Atlantic Sea Gulls hockey
team makes its first appearance
of the season at the Sports
Arena Sunday night, January
20 at $50 P. M. In the lone en-
counter between Toledo and
the resort center team the
Bucks came up with three to
nothing shutout.
The Gulls started the season
by losing their first seven starts
before winning a game - but
since they have added new
player strength Cat the time
Baltimore withdrew from the
League) they have won five ano
lost only two of their scheduled
encounters.
The Eastern Hockey League
race started with Grand Rapid!
drawing away from the rest oi
the League to establish com
manding lead. However, the
Bucks of Toledo stayed close
and now are within three game:
from the top. New York, after
tough road trip through the
Western Division of the circuit
are in third place, while Mil
waukee, after a slow start, have
been literally burning up al
opposition and are now close tc
New York for third place in the
League.
In their last three start!
against Grand Rapids the Clark'
have taken all three, while To
ledo has won two of their las
three games against the League
leaders.
Tickets for games may be
purchased at the Sports Arena
and at the B. r. Baker Com
pany in downtown Toledo.

A TIP FOR THE
FLY CASTER

Fly lines start to show dark
spots when the finish begins to
crack off. Actually, the line
ma ybe in perfect shape except
for the normal cracking area,
about nine or ten feet in front
of the line point. Get some
Dupon- -Dulux clear varnish and
a large darning needle; spread
the varnish in thin coats over
the dark areas with the needle
point. Make certain you apply
very small amounts; il is better
to dip the needle several times
than to remove excess amounts.
Allow each coat to dry one or
two days.

Did You Know?

That in 1885, Alfred Univer-
sity failed to win a game and
scored only IL points to its op-
ponents 159. The next season,
Alfred did not lose a game and
scored 1853 points to its oppo-
nents 81. That in 1921 the Wash
ington Senators set a record for
most batters being hit by pitch
ed balls. The Mats had So bat
ters reaching first base the hard
way. That Horace Rawlings, who
won the second United States
Open in 1895, was the youngest
to ever win this title. He was
only 10. Sammy Spead was the
oldest ever to win the PGA
title. Sam was 81 when he won
the crown this year.

ers of the same calibre on the
card - we'll, It's Just hard to be
lieve.
One just can't imagine Jimmy
Flood, Lou Wales, Artie King,
Raphael Lastrs, Herbie Kron-
owitz and Kid Alfonso all ap-
pearing on the same program.
Incidentally, Flood Is the boy
Eastern writers have called the
new Mickey Walker. He has
built up a great record and is
said TO be the sole support of his
mother and family.
1T WILL also be interesting to
n TO watch Kid Alfonso. The kid
will be meeting his toughest test
TO date in Herbie Kronowitz. A
victory for the Monroe clouter
will place him high on the ring
ladder.
Moore, OF course, will be the
center of much attention as the
likeable Archie has built up a
small army of fans here. And
who knows, il Archie should win
this one he might get a crack at
the new light-heavyweight
champ, Joe Maxim. He certainly
deserves IL.
Yes, sir, there's no getting &
around IL PALS, Thurkettle, the
Toledo Times and all the other
individuals and organizations
behind the show have gone out
and put Toledo on the map of
big time boxing.
AS one fellow put il last week,
Missing this card would be as
bad as losing a winning slip on a
4-horse parley."

you do it tw I've successive
times, you have achieved a SOC
score, a perfect game.
The higher mathematicians
have calculated that the odds
against it are 100000 to l.
The game has developed in
the last half century to a point
where the American Bowling
Congress a nnua y attracts
10000 entries for its two
months of competition. Dur
ing the war, some American
GIs constructed an alley in
the jungles of New Guinea.
They carved the ball and pins
out of jungle hardwood, used
gum oil instead of wax on an
alley made from the floor of
an b a n d o n d missionary
shack, and got some hard
earned amusement while the
shrapnel burst around them.
Like every other game there
are those who bowl for fun, anc
those who achieve a degree o.
perfection that finds them in the
front rank wherever the com
petition is hottest. Records o.
ABC tournaments are sprinklec

he should stick around mike
IL the Yankees ever let him

ROWLING EVERYONE'S
SPORT

Bowling is everyone's sport,
1t is not necessary to be a mus
cular giant, an amazon, or a
finely trained athlete to roll
that ball down the alley for the
purpose of knocking over a few
pins. Some 20,000,000 people in
the United States, among them
100000 women; use it for
recreation and exercise. 1t looks
simple enough to lift the 16-
pound ball, take a few steps,
and send it spinning down the
waxed chute in the direction of
the pins that look so inviting at
the other end. If you knock
them all down, which is known
to the trade as a strike, and

But wait. let us not forget the
best thing OF the program. Pro-
ceeds from the fights will be
turned over TO PAL. That's the
Police Athletic League, an or
ganization which provides rec
reation for the kids.
This fact alone is reaso n
enough to fill the arena. PAL Is
not something strictly Toledo,
but is an active civic-minded
group working in many OF the
large American cities.
WE HERE in Toledo are in
w deed fortunate that local

PAL bandwagon. II Is one which
leads straight to better citizen
ship.
The four 10-round bouts ar
ranged by Thurkettle, who Is
responsible for top notch boxing
returning here, all stack up TO
be crowdpleasers. Any one of
the four would probably be suf-
ficient to carry a good boxing
card.
For example, a bout featuring
Archie Moore and Bert Lytell,
supplemented by a few prelim-
lnsries, would be well-worth the
price of admission. But when
you have three more l0-round-

velous comeback after hitting

Fillion Wins
John Fillion, who won the
YMCA Novice title last Decem-
ber, defeated Al Cara of Mon
roe in another feature bout. Fill
lion and Garcia met earlier in
the season with the latter win
ming a hair-line victory. But
this time it was all Fillion.
Classy little Art Tillis was an
other winner for Local IL as he
turned back John Vodessay of
Detroit in lightweight struggle.
Tillis is another lad who has
shown great improvement and
looks stronger every time he
fights.
The fourth Local IL winner
was Jerry Street, who looked
very good in defeating Willard

Lewis Thomas, Frank Soinske,

dropped decisions. Thomas and

Four Masters Of
Grid Technique !
Carl SnayeIy:

Carl Snavely:
One of the games finest teach
ers, Carl Snavely adheres to
the single wing attack at North
Carolina University. Noted as
a prep school coach at Kiski and
Bellefonte, Snavely moved to
Bucknell, then to North Caro-
lima, to Cornell and back to the
Tar Heels. Those teams have
won 70 percent of their games,
tutored by the 55 year old Neb-
raskan.
Madison "Matty" Bell:
Long before his acquired
Doak Walker, Madison "Matty"
Bell of Southern Methodist was
producing sparkling football
teams. A member of the famed
Centre College Team "Prayinl
Colonels" who upset Harvard in
1919, Bell coached at Haskell
Institute, Carroll, T. c. u. and
Texas A. & M. before he became
Mustang head coach IA years
ago.
Wallace Wade:
Wallace Wade's postwar diff
ficulties at Duke failed to do
justice to his brilliant overall
record as college mentor. Be-
fore he went into the Army, his
Blue Devil elevens lost only 13
games in nine years, two of
them Rose Bowl games. A grad
uate of Brown, Wade coached
Vanderbilt and Alabama before
he became head man of Durham
in "31".
DeOrmond "Tuss" McLaughry:
DeOrmond "Tuss" McLaugh
ry one of the most respected OF
the football coaching fraternity,
graduated from Westminster,
coached at his alma mater, at
Amherst, and Brown before he
went to Dartmouth in 1941. He
took time out for two wars and
one of his more famous elevens
was Browns undefeated "iron
men" of 1925.
