was worth it in training camp
when everything the 23-year-oid
rookie did was wrong. But when
he broke loose for IS yards in
his first scrimmage and followed
up with Is more. the coach de-
cided he had made no mistake.
Bassett looked only fair in
exhibition games against Green
Bay, Los Angeles and San Fran

against the Detroit Lions. Since
then his stock has climbed
steadily.
Bassett was playing high

the only first stringers on the

play for the Browns-especially
in his hero's place.
Bassett was hurt against the
Eagles and was slowed up against
the Giants last week as a con-
sequence, but he's in good shape
for Sundays game and the Red
skins can expect trouble from

Doubles at Fort Davis, and nat
urally so. for few men are the
equal Of Paul Oliver Pacini in
the matter of duckpin know
ledge.
Fred Lazzari, who makes the
rounds of tournament competi-
tion, either as contestant or
spectator, was saying: 1T seems
to. me an unusual number of
bowlers with chances to. win
tournaments have lost out when
a vital pin wobbled but remained
standing"
Bob Miciotto, co-winner of the
Thanksgiving Mixed Doubles
with Julie Rapczynski, grinned.
Like with Julie and me in the
Franklin" he said. Miciotto and
Mrs. Rapczynski hit for trick
spares in the final boxes of the
Franklin Mixed Doubles in Bal
timore, but were thwarted by
stubborn sticks from scoring a
dramatic victory.
"The reason many of, those
'wigglers' don't go down." Pacini
said, "is dirt on the pinspot. An
almost unnoticeable film of
scummy dirt can affect a wob-
bling pin just enough to keep it
from falling" t..
This was news to Pacini's lis
teners.
That's something 7 learned
from George Isemann, and I
verified it. at least to my own
satisfaction" the veteran added.
The late George Isemann for
many years was executive secre-
tary of the National Duckpin
Congress. ~
Pacini's observation stirred the
writer's memory. It went back
to the old Coliseum bowling
plant, long since razed with Gen.
ter Market. The Coliseum was
managed by the late Lonnie
Krauss, also analytical-minded.
Scores at the Coliseum were
unusually high, on the average.
Many bowlers were puzzled.
Some suspected Lonnie of trick
cry, but he offered no explana-
ton. Except that Krauss kept
his lanes and other equipment
meticulously clean, the Coliseum
apparently was no different from
any other bowling plant.

which has not affected field
shooting or ponds near the Fed

keet. His charges are $19 per
day for any kind of hunting ex-
cept quail, for which he charges
$22 per day. He GAN handle up

Waltonians which is with draw
ing 200 acres Of its conservation
farm near Poolesville, Md, from
the production of vegetables,
grain and animal crops and in
stead will proceed to develop a
program for soil restoration and
wildlife cover. This radical
change in policy was born due
ITO the realization that agricul-
tural production in this country
is at a high level, resulting in
surpluses of many products year
