present legislature which would
provide funds for more buildings.
Some areas of the hospital appear
ed satisfactory; however, this was
within the newer units. All mem-
bers had lunch in the Hotel DUPONT
as guests of the News Journal
Company, followed by tour of the
News Journal plant.
A trip through the Blind Shop
under the Delaware Commission
for the Blind in Wilmington was
made by the legislators. also Here
the rehabilitation program now
carried throughout Delaware was
clearly outlined by DR.. Cummings.
Many persons who have lost the
use of their eyes are trained to
take up useful occupations in spite
of their handicap. At the Governor
Bacon Health Center we found
plenty of housing and facilities
available for immediate use. Every
thing was neat and clean. Many
legislators feel that some of the
work could be consolidated by NOV
ing part of some units such as
work done at Kruse School, Woods
Haven School, Edgewood, and Sun
nybrook Cottage to the Governor
Bacon Health Center where facili-
ties, space, and personnel is avail
able.
At the University of Delaware,
DIR. John A. Perkins, president,
clearly outlined the needs there in
a short address to the group. One
of the main problems is a need of
dor1nitories fit for students to live
in; also facilities to turn out more
school teachers is apparently a
pressing need. There is a bill be-
fore the legislature requesting a
81, ,250,000 appropriation for DORM
itory construction through state
bond issue. Also, the Home Econ
omics Department has apparently
been neglected for a long time in
sofar as new or more modern facil-
tiles are concerned. DR.. Perkins
personally conducted the legisla-
tors through all facilities, including
the farm buildings. Luncheon was
served in the school dining room.
DR.. Floyd I. Hudson conducted
us through all facilities of the
Brandywine Sanitorium as well as
Edgewood Sanitorium. Here again
there appears to be a great need
for additional housing; and in ord
er to do the job, the state would
have to appropriate in the millions.
One small building was found
weathering away from lack Of use,
and it was explained that there
wasn't enough money available to
provide personnel for the unit.
At the New Castle County Work
house, we found more than enough
available space and facilities. This
prison was neat and well handled.
A need for teachers in the institu-
tion was mentioned by Warden
Wilson. The Sussex County jail
was equally as good.
On Thursday, tour of the Old
Age Welfare Home right here at
Smyrna was ably conducted by the
superintendent, DR.. c. ]. Prickett,
assisted by Leroy Piper. We found
everything at this institution in ex-
ceptionally fine condition. Patients
were all receiving good care and
attention; all facilities seemed to
be in good operating condition, the
food was well prepared, all rooms
were neat, and clean. I can state
that all legislators were highly i'm
pressed with what they saw there.
This is interesting indeed since the

every citizen should make it his
business to go out there sometime
to see what we have right here in
Smyrna. After all, we help pay for
it through taxes.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2.-Some
260 pros and amateurs are making
their 36-hole qualifying bids today
for the $4,000 Los Angeles Open
golf tournament. which launches
the winter circuit.
Only 80 places are open for the
72-hole tourney, which gets under

Sam Snead won the tournament
last year in an 18-hole playof with
Ben Hogan. That contest marked
the comeback of Bantam Ben after
q crippling auto accident.
Snead, 1949 PGA champion and
top money winner for 1850, is con-
sidered the man to beat. Hogan
apparently is out of the tourney
this year. But Snead will meet

Special Pass Pays Off
For West Texas State
BY the Associated Press

Ell PASO. Tex, JAM "A tricky
forward pass play worked up just
for the occasion paid of for West

Sun Bowl victory over Cincinnati
The play served to overcome a
1877 Cincinnati Bearcats lead.
netting West Texas 81 yards and
a touchdown.
Coach Frank Kimbrough said
afterward that his Texans had
perfected the play only last week.
It worked like this:
Frank Wise pitched 20 yards to
Quarterback Gene Mayf7eld, who
was off to the right. Fullback Bill
Cross scooted wide to the left as
defenders shifted to follow the
ball. Mayf1eld passed to Cross.
Cross raced the last AZ yards for
the touchdown, his second of the
day. End Roy Lee Dunn con-
verted for the second time.
Between Cross two scores, Gin
cinnati tailed twice. The first
time Tom McKeever smashed off
tackle for the last yards on a
63-yard march. But pass catch
ing End Jim Kelly missed the con-
version. The second came on an
18-yard touchdown pass from
Gene Rossi to Bob Stratton. Bill
Shalosky converted.
Both teams complained after
ward that game officials almost let
the over-eager players get out of
hand in the last half. AS it was,
one man from each team was
banished for unsportsmanlike con-
duct and 80 seconds before the
games end. both teams hocked
into a wild, fist-swining melee.

TEHERAN, Iran, Jan. a.
Hunters south of the Mason
Dixon line may get their first
crack at pheasant shooting before
long. ..
A globe trotting American
wildlife expert has found a spe-
cies Of Persian pheasant that
thrives in hot. humid regions. The
bird is being studied to determine
whether it could successfully be
moved to areas in the Southeast
United States which are too warm
for the ordinary ring necked
pheasant.
The man with the interesting
assignment of finding new game
birds for American hunters is DR..
Gardiner Bump of Delmar. N. Y.
For years an official of the New
York State Conservation Depart
ment, DR.. Bump is now securing
out-of -the-way corners Of the
world for the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service.

will be flown to the United States
to see If they can adapt them
selves to similar conditions in
Arizona. New Mexico, Utah and
Nevada where native game birds
are scarce.
DR.. Bump spent five months in
Sweden and Norway in 1949
trapping Scandinavian grouse to
be introduced In Wisconsin.
DR.. Bump and his 21-year-old
son, Robert, recently spent four
months in Turkey. Iran and Iraq.
They were looking primarily for
game birds that will thrive in
areas Of the Southwest that have
much the same climate as ths
Middle East.
Robert Bump, a Cornell Uni-
versity junior, returned to the
United States with 400 live chukar
partridges trapped in rolling.
rocky areas Of Turkey. They will
be turned over to State conser-
vation departments Of Utah,
Idaho. Nevada, Arizona. New
Mexico and California.
The prize discovery Of the trip,
however. may turn out to be the
Mazandaran black-necked pheas-
ant that lives in the rainy. sub
tropical region along the Caspian
Sea.
1t may be the answer to the
American Southern sportsmans
dream Of pheasant hunting. For
years Southern hunters have tried
to introduce pheasants that would
flourish in the hot, damp climate

Another World Record
Al Santa Anita Makes
BoIero Top Sprinter
By the Associo,ed Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Jan. by
blazing another world record In
Santa Anita's $4,000 San Carlos
Handicap yesterday. the majestic
chestnut. Bolero, established him
self as the foremost sprinter in
the country today.
Bolero, somewhat inconsistent
performer. winged the z furlongs
in 1::21 fiat and beat the favorite,
Your Host. by four lengths. His
clocking trimmed two f1fths of a
second off the mark set by KY
Colonel at Washington Park in
.1949.
And that just about makes b.
lero the class of the short distance
runners. He also holds the world
record for 6 furlongs, 1:08b set
last spring at Golden Gate Fields.
Your Host, who was high
weighted at 1876 pounds yesterday
gets another chance Saturday
though. and without opposition
from Bolero. He's booked to start
in the Santa Catalina, another
50-grander. This one, at mile
and one-eighth, is strictly for
California breds, so Bolero isn't
eligible.
Willie Shoemaker, who tied with
Joe Culmone for 1850 riding
honors, also gets another chance
this week. He rang in the New
Year without mounting a single
winner.
Even so. the $4,000 fans gave
him a tremendous ovation when
he appeared on the track for the
first race. Before that, all his
fellow jockeys assembled in the
tack room to congratulate him for
tying Walter Miller's 44-year-old
mark of 388 winners in one year.
What Shoemaker couldn't do
yesterday. Eddie Arcaro could. He
rated Bolero splendidly to catch
Your Host in the stretch turn and
beat out IL rivals. The triumph
was worth $41.300 to his owner
Abe Hirschberg. Shoemaker, on

of 13.
Bolero returned $3.50, $4.8O
and $3.50. Your Host paid $3.50

The Missouri Valley five is the

Last year Bradley ranked No. l

Bradley has nearly the same

Georgia's Rockmart High Yellow

championship yesterday by de-

Rockmart scored in the first.

Although Rockmart scored first,
the Yellow Jackets trailed at the

Massachusetts, gridders drove from
Rockmart's Al to 6 pointer. It
was the first time in IL games
that Rockmart had been behind.
