Taking Shot
of Leader

Here is a tip on taking shot
off a leader of one of the tough
est angling problems faced by
the average angler when taking
split shot sinkers from a tapered
gut leader without damaging
il.
Place the middle of seperste
2-in. piece of leader material
(about .014) in the shot slot
outside the regular leader before
you fasten it, When you want
to remove the shot, grasp the
two ends of this piece with a
pair of pliers and pull, holding
the shot with the other hand.
The slot will open and the regu-
lar leader can be withdrawn
from the sinker unharmed.

Rubber-CoIIored
Fur Seals

For five summers fur seals
wearing ringlike rubber collars
have mystified u. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service scientists. First
instance noted in July 1914,
others reported since. Frank G..
Ashbrook, heading Services
wild fur animal Investigations,
now suggests the odd collars
were sections of rubber food
bags used by the Japs during
the second world war for air de-
livery Of food to their troops in
the Aleutian Islands. Pup seals
probably plunged through bags
to get food, and rings remained
around their necks. Previous
theory was that the collars may
have been placed by Japanese
or Russian scientists studying
fur seals migratory habits.

A HANDY GAGET

A small flashlight is one of
the hapdiest gagets a fisherman
can carry. 1t takes up little
space and weighs almost nothing.
It can be invaluable when try
ing to tie on lure just at dusk
when the big fish are breaking
all around you and every mo-
ment Is precious. Such small
light can be seen at a long dis
tance and can serve as a signal
after dark as well as a means
of following a trail or looking
at a map or compass. The value
of a small flashlight lies not so
much in the amount of use you
give 1t as in the insurance 1T

BE SURE TO TEST
THAT ICE
That crust Of Ice which
separates fish from fisher
men has formed on some OF
the more shallow lakes and
ponds in this part of the state

shanties are crOping up,
heralding the return of the
Winter angling season.
To keep the dunking and more
serious mishaps at a minimum
the Editor warns the winter
fisherman to thoroughly test the
Ice before venturing on it. Alter
nate freezing and melting of
lake crusts, especially evident
in this vicinity and southern
Michigan locations during the
early and late portions of the
winter period, can prov d e
anglers with a few thrills not
relished. Be cautious when fish

as they often trap the unwary
fisherman.

Shaw wCagers
On Spot In
Erie LEAGUE
By Bob Keefer

Everyone who has taken tipping
lessons will recall the exercise
which read "Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of
their party" To paraphrase that
quotation it might be appropriate
to say that "Now is the time for
a good basketball team to come to
the aid of its followers"
Shaw cage fans are on "Uneasy
Street" since the upset loss to Lor-
ain last week and are greatly con-
cerned about the outcome of the
remaining league games with
Elyria and Heights.
The Cardinals must win at least
one of those contests in order to
capture undisputed possession of
the Lake Erie League title, and it
appears now that they will be hard
pressed to accomplish that feat. 1t
is unlikely that Lorain, now only
two games behind Shaw, will lose
either of their final two meetings
with Lakewood and Elyria. How
ever, should they do so, the Cardi-
nails can "back into" the champion
ship, regardless of how they fare
against their next two opponents
The best assurance for the crown,
of course, would be to defeat Elyria
on their home court tomorrow
night.
On the basis Of their steady i'm
provement, however, the Pioneers
will probably provide stubborn op-
position. The Cardinals experienced
little difficulty in annihilating the
Elimen, 57-31, in their previous out
ing at Shaw last month, thanks to
the sparkling 33-point scoring spree
by Dick Henderson. Having talliesd
only five points in the last two
games, Dick is about due to explode
again and this would be a most
appropriate occasion for a repeat
performance.
The Pioneers lost no one at mid
year and spanked by Mike Merva
and Ken Logan, their most prolific
pair of point-getters, they will be
out to better their present 4-4
league record. The host quintet has
three starting players who hit the
6-ft. 3-in. mark, and this height ad-
vantage enables them to control
the rebounds from both backboards.
Coach Pete Block introduced new
plan at Shaker last week when he
used a two-platoon system, and the
results were gratifying, as their
46-44 victory proves.
Coach Roy Wisecup expects to
stick to the same starting five for
the Cardinals but, if they fail to
click, Al Gray, Mike Vara and Bill
Nelson will be inserted into the
lineup. Personally, see no special
cause for alarm at the loss to
Lorain last Friday. 1t was just one
of those "off" nights that even
good teams experience, and l look
for the Cardinals to bounce back
to form tomorrow night.

"A Surprised
Shaw Loses
'Loraiin 47-27

An inspired Lorain team carried
too much "Waitt" for the Shaw
cagers as the Steelmen romped to
an easy 47-27 victory at Lorain
last Friday.
Combining a tight, smoothly
operating man-for-man defense
with sensationally accurate shoot
ing from the field and foul line,
the Steel City quintet shackled the
Cardinals, previously unbeaten in
Lake Erie League competition.
Shaw's nemesis" and Lorain's
"hero" was Walter Watt, 5 ft. 8
in. junior guard, who ran wild to
sink % points for personal blot
on the Cardinal record.
Center Don Fritz covered Dick
Fort like a blanket, holding him
scoreless from the field as the
league leading scorer dropped in
but three foul shots. Bob Blatch-
ford, the other Steelers guard,
bounded Dick Henderson with
glue-like tenacity to keep his point
production to a five-point maxi
mum as the usually potent Car
dinal attack was slowed to near
standstill.
The Steelmen, on the other
hand, were really dead" in their
goal barrage, connecting on ex-
actly 20 of their 40 field goal at
tempts for an amazing 500 aver
age and missing seven of their
IL free throws. At long range the
Steelmen were especially deadly
as they made good on four of the
eleven long shots they tried in
the first half and sank all four
of those they uncorked in the Sec
ond half.
Both teams played cautiously in
the first quarter which ended in
a "A deadlock, but the host team
began to open up in the second
frame as they took a 14-10 half
time advantage. Paced by Watts
uncanny accuracy, Lorain broke
loose for 81 points in the third
period to take 35-18 lead. At one
point in this stanza the Steel
men made 16 consecutive points
while the Cardinals went scoreless.
The Shaw guards, Duane Geras-
imos and Tom Meinhardt, expert
enced considerable difficulty in
working the ball in for close-range
shots with the result that the local
quintet got only 21 short shots,
most of them hurried and inaccu-
rate.
The Shaw JV's also fell by the
wayside, dropping their third
game of the season as the Lorain
JV's took a 41-35 verdict. Center
Dan Kramer started out like a
house a-fire as he tailed IL points
in the first half but the Lorain
hardwooders put out the fire in
the second half when they limited
him to one foul shot.

BIG DEAL ON WHEELS
Continued from page ten

Rink operators have taken a
bow for their part in combating
juvenile delinquency, but it was
good business, too - $235, ,OOO,-
600 was spent on admissions last
year. This figure, plus another
$l00,0OO,OO0 spent on equip
ment, makes it evident that roll
Ter skating is indeed a husky in
dustry.
The man who devised this
method of locomotion was an
ice skater who couldn't wait for
a freeze-up. In the early 18th
century a bored HOllander
strapped wooden spools ON a
pair of ice skates and went
banging around the nearby
streets. His neighbors were as
tonished.
A Belgian inventor, Joseph
Merlin, instituted an improve
ment a few years later when he
replaced the spools with metal
wheels. Merlin, incidentally, had
an unfortunate experience at a
London masquerade party. An
accomplished musician, he got
the fantastic notion of playing
the violin and skating at the
same time.
Something Went Wrong
HE GOT along fine for a while -
he was a big hit at the party.
Then something went wrong.
Merlin suddenly lost control and
crashed into a large mirror. He
smashed it to small pieces and
cut himself severely.
This country was a little slow
in taking up the sport, but even
tually it was a couple of Ameri-
cans who advanced it to its pres
ent proportions. James L. Plimp-
ton, a New Yorker, devised the
rocking skate" (Which could be
guided on curves) and set up the
first U. S. rink. Levant M. Rich
ardson put ball bearings into
skates.
Kinks have come a long way
since Plimpton's day. Clean,
well-lighted and sometimes
elaborately furnished, they
cost considerably more than
the original structure.
In December, 1948, for exam
pie, a rink opened for business in
Alexandria, Va. Its cost: $780,
900. Altogether it has been esti-
mated that rink property in the
