LAST SUNDAY snow tossed about

crocus blooms on Blhffton lawns and
blanketed Walter GRATIS Thursday
afternoon planting Of onion sets and
head lettuce but this Sunday the
calendar announces the official begin
ming of spring, and if this is so can
mushroom hunting be far behind.
Maynard Geiger, generally admitted
to being Buttons Number l eye for
a mushroom, declares he has spotted
them as early as March p in some
years, but admits this is not one of
them. Funny thing about mush-
rooming is that a person must be
born to it. Some people seem to
sense the presence of a mushroom
and merely push aside few dead
leaves and there they are. Others,
like Jack Berry, admit that they can
walk right through gardens of mush-
rooms without seeing them,
But even without a calendar Bluff
ton would know that spring is here
with the appearance of the long and
colorful red and yellow cards an
nouncing the April Trout Derby. AS
usual Gene Benroth has fashioned an
announcement that is thing of dis
tinction and beauty. When certain
outdoor magazine, which was sched-
uled to use a picture of trout on its
March cover came up with some other
specie, Benroth, who had made ar
rangements to receive a supply of the
four-color process covers for orna-
menting his placards, had to make
other plans. He fell back on his old
friends the Chelan, Washington,
apple growers who market their pro-
duce under the brand name of Trout
Apples and use a packing case label
of a beautiful speckled trout. They
readily obliged by sending a supply
of their labels which again were scis-
sored and pasted to the Benroth
placard. A new twist to this years
announcement is Genes use of scores
of Derby Day photographs taken dur
ing the past several years by Vern
Walker. The glossies add a great
deal of interest to the placards.

Purdue. No. 8, is the only other

man. but he's a solid 21S-pound-
er whom the Gobblers regard as
a genuine All : America. He
started the first game of the 1851
schedule as a freshman and
hasn't been displaced since.
Against all this the Colonials
will counter with their one-two

will be missing against CIV to-

There Is a possibility that one
of the players. Halfback HOWE

blers aren't counting too much
on this prospect. They could
use the speed he would bring

out him they have a better
than-average halfback in Dickie

Beard has totaled 523 yards in
LOG rushing attempts, a figure
that puts him far ahead of other
ball carriers in the Southern
Conference.
With Johnny Dean, their No.

the inefhciency of pinboys.
After a sour performance one
evening, both by himself and the
lads in the pits, Sherman deter
mined to build a robot that would
produce a prompt and accurate
Setup-without glaring at him!
/ He did.
i Duckpin promoters everywhere
hailed the announcement of
sSherman's invention. 1, . X
When do we get it?" they
chorused.
It'll take time" Sherman
replied.
And time it took-nearly 10
years. But now, after a seeming
ly interminable series of tests
and changes, Sherman's ma
chine is ready for the big trial.
Next week, 10 Of the robots will
be installed in Eddie Murphy'S
Bowling Academy at East Provi-
dence, r. I.
Bowling authorities who have
seen the machine in factory
operation speak of it with en-
thusiasm. Notable among these
is Arville L. Ebersole, executive
secretary of the National Duck
pin Congress-, who reported his
observations to a recent meeting
of the Metropolitan Washington
Duckpin Operators Association.
Two years ago the machine
was displayed at Clarendon
during the National duckpin
championships held at neigh
boring Colonial Village. The
bowlers were impressed, but
Sherman discovered ways to
improve it, and back went the
invention for more experiments.
At least another year will
pass, it is said, before the ma
chine will appear in Washing
ton. Sherman organized a COM
pany (Sherman Enterprises of
Lynn, Mass.) to exploit the gad-
get and contracted with Cromp-
ton & Knowles of Worcester.
Mass, for it's manufacture. The
factory is set up to turn out
400 a month. The machines
will be leased to bowling pro-
prietors at fixed price per
game.
Hottest tenpin bowler in town
apparently is Earl Mueller, who
has rolled three consecutive 600
series in league play at the
Rosslyn Tenpin Center. His lat
est was a $50 with a high game
of 244, in the Mixed Maulers
League. The others were SOB
/ and 644. Only once in his last
nine league games at Rosslyn
has Mueller missed 200.
Other recent 600-shooters at
/ Rosslyn were Newt Mclean, 237-
| Sos; John Davies, 225-603; Gerry
Geyer, 248-623; Gary Markham
| 217-601 and S. Byrne, 253-619
| The Design Service Outlaws,
who took a beating from the
Giant Food All-Stars in spe-
cial match at Rosslyn, will try
to square things Sunday in a
battle at the Alexandria Tenpin
Center. starting at 8 pm.
