four safeties. All hits in the game
were for one base only.

Budd's one-baser that accounted
for the winning run in the last o
the fifth.
Port Clinton pushed off to a one
run lead in the first frame withou
benefit of a hit. The lead-of
man, Fastzkie, was safe at frs
when the catcher let his thiro
strike get away from him. Fastzkie
moved to second on Pehrson's
walk, then stole third from where
he scored on an infield grounder
An unearned tally on an error

The fourth and fifth innings were
particularly disastrous for the To-
Gals. Those two frames produced
nine markers for Woodward, five
in the fourth and four in the
fifth. Petuca relieved Eliyas for
Port Clinton in the fourth.
Fastzkie, Pehrson and McDavitt
each with two hits, led the Port
Clinton attack that produced two
runs in the first, one in the second,
two in the sixth, and one in the
seventh. Selgo and Bu3d had a
hit apiece. Runs were scored by
Fastzkie, two; Selgo, Longe,
Schafer and Jacobs.
The Old Fort fray was decided
in the final inning, the seventh,
when Port Clinton put together
hits by McDavitt and Schafer for
the deciding run. AS late as the
fifth inning, Port Clinton held a
commanding 6-2 lead but fielding
lapses gifted Old Fort with three
runs. The host team then tied
it up in their half of the sixth.
Port Clinton pounded out ten
hits of their seven runs with Nc
Davitt and Schafer leading the way
with two apiece.
Fastzkie, PehrSon, Selgo, Har-
ger and McAtee each Clipped in
with single base knocks. McAtee
was relieved of the pitching chores
by EliyaS in the seventh.

220 and broad jump. He was also
member of the winning $50 re-
lay team.
Big Don Petersen placed first
in the Shot put with Ron Jensen
taking third.
Bob Martin displayed his usual
form by taking the 440, and Rol-
and Chapman won the $50 with
east.
Jack EaSton ran very good
race coming through with sec
ond in the mile. Corky Disher
took second in the high hurdles.

animal breeder?
First, we might consider the
elimination of obvious defects caused
by only one alternate germ. This
situation is not too uncommon
among abnormalities and presents
the breeder with clear cut example
of what may be done when only
one or a few alternate gene posi-
tions are concerned.
Several defects are of such
nature that they cause death when
both partners at a particular posi-
ton are "homozygous or the same

If the defective gene is of such

the undesired gene appears much

Our answer to this problem is to
let well enough alone and make
no attempt to do the impossible, but
rather to sort out gradually the
desirable genes from the undesir-
able ones by the overall effect they
produce in the animal or in its
offspring. Such effects are not meas

quire careful weighing or measur-
ing IN some form under similar
environments for those animals
under comparison, or by careful
measurement of the offspring of
animals on progeny tests.
Recently completed studies at the
u. S. range station, Miles City,
and elsewhere have established that
rate of gain on feed, 15-months
weight, and area of muscle in loin
cuts, are all quite highly heritable
in beef cattle. This means that ami
mails possessing these measurable
characteristics in the desired high
degree can be expected to transmit
their own advantage regularly tc
their own offspring.
Among the three economic char.
acters mentioned, ability to transmit
large size of loin muscle could only
be determined by a breeding test
since to examine it directly would
destroy the animal and thus its value
as breeder. However, the gaining
