Bobby Brownell. a consistent

Brownell, who meets 17-yea:-

them. Skip and I went to Duke
together. Now they're pros. They
make a lot of money. Right?
Lots of headlines. Right? But
both of them are married-Skip

Bobby shanked short approach

Since AL Ulbrlckson took over as

finished second five times, third
five times and sixth once-in 1880.
1--WE Just don't have it this
year." said the 49-year-old Ul-
Erickson, who has six sophomores
in his shell. "We haven't got the
manpower and haven't had the
preparation. We had an unbe-
lievably windy year out West and
we're having some more wind here.
Well be lucky to finish in the
upper half Saturday.
I'VE brought the crew East to
give them some experience for
next year. The way it looks now,
I like Navy to win. I wouldn't be
surprised if they make a sweep of

Effectiveness OF
Artillery Pieces

Communist artillery in Ko-
rea has increased its effective
ness almost equal to that of
the United Nations, which has
caused the UN soldier to be
much more careful in his
movements even behind the
battlefronts. The new artil-.
lery, evidently supplied by
Soviet Russia, hit UN soldiers
seven miles behind the front
lines and with create
accuracy.
Reports from Korea say that
SO, 1000 rounds Of artillery and
mortar shells h a We been
hurled into the Allied posi-
tons within a tWenty-tour
period, where only five months
ago the average was but four
to five thousands.
Thus far the only advantage
the United Nations artillery
still has consists of observa-
ton planes that tell Of the eff
fectiveness Of the barrages
and the use Of a proximity
fuse which causes the shells to
at a predetermined
distance above the ground.

Topples Available Tomorrow for Memorial Day

"Wear a poppy to honor the war dead and aid wars living victims"
 This is the appeal that will be made to everyone in Nome by the American Legion Auxiliary on Poppy Day, tomorrow.
 Women of the Auxiliary will be on the streets throughout the day, offering the symbolic mem orial peoples and receiving con- tributions for the Auxiliary's work in behalf of disabled vet eranS.
 The poppies will be crepe paper replicas of the wild poppies which grew between the crosses, row on row." in the battle cemeteries in France and Belgium. They have been made for the Auxiliary by disabled veterans of both World Wars.
 This year the poppy will have added significance because of the long lists of war dead from Korea which have been added to the heroic roll of those who have died for America. Also, there will be increased need for the Poppy Day contribution because of the many thousands of young men disabled in the Korean fighting.
 We hope that everyone will understand that the memorial poppy means honor for the na- tion's war dead and aid for those suffering as a result of war ser vice, and will wear one of the little red flowers proudly on Pop py Day, tomorrow.
