ANGLE
By LEWIS r. ATcHlsoN

Sunday will be a memorable
day in pro football. Not because
the Redskins close a successful
season against the Pittsburgh
Steelers here. or that the West
ern Division title hassle may be
settled. It's the last day of a g.
year, action-packed career for
bull-necked. raven haired Pete
Pihos of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Pete has announced he'll hang
up the familiar No. IS jersey,
allowing II pro coaches a sigh
Of relief and the promise Of more
restful nights.
If there's a better end in the
game right now he must be
tucked away on some hidden
continent, because around the
National Football League they're
beginning to talk Of the broad
chested Greek as an 'all-time
great"

End Coach Joe Tereshinski Of
the Redskins. no Buster Brown
himself when an active player.
Il didn't play against Don Hut
son Of the Green Bay Packers,
and I didn't see Bill Hewitt play,
but Pihos Is the best all-around
end I've SEEN"
Head Coach Joe Kuharich,
loath to use superlatives, calls
Pete a real solid, all-around
He doesn't have electrifying
speed" Joe points out, but he
is a real competitor and a fine
receiver. He gets any ball thrown
near him"
That's putting it mildly
enough. On the Eagles last visit
to Washington. Pete caught eight
passes for 119 yards and a touch
down. There were enough Red
skins around when he caught the
scoring pass to re-enact the Bat
tie Of Little Big Horn. but he
got his hands on the bali and
that was enough.
The play veteran Redskins
fans may remember best, how
ever. occurred at Grifith Sta

There have been no takers.
The usual theorizing that
Robinson's age Is against him
and his legs won't last for Is
rounds probably are the main
factors in the currently quoted
odds.
Olson is a 3-to-i favorite. If
you think Robinson win win by
a knockout you can get 5 to l..

in a knockout by either fighter.
Nobody is betting that Olson will

late "Bo" McMillin at Indians

Fred Clarke Says Wagner

WICHITA, Kans., Dec. 8 tP1.-
The man who managed the late
John tHonus) Wagner for II
years says Wagner was "a star
any place he was put"
That tribute came from Fred
Clarke of Winfield. Kans., 49,
year-old member OF Baseball's
Hall of Fame.
Clarke. whose Hall of Fame
plaque calls, him "the first of the
successful boy managers at 24''
for plotting the Louisville
Colonels in the old National
League, then guiding Pittsburgh
to four pennants and the 1909
world championship, first met
Wagner in 1897. That's when
Louisville bought Honus for
$1,000.
Il played Wagner in the out
field, at first base, shortstop and
third base. and one time he even
pitched and beat Boston for u.s."
Clarke said.
Wagner earned fame as a
~shortstop, but he was 1.-The great.

declared Clarke. who starred as
an outfielder for % seasons.
Clarke also told how Wagner
came to be a %shortstop.
we had a Shortstop, Fred Ely,
who was a good one and who
was particularly popular with
the fans in Pittsburgh. But he
came to me one day and COM
planned about some little thing
he said was wrong with his
finger. He said he didn't want
to play that day." Clarke related.
II told him he didn't have to
play, but that if he didn't he'd
never play for me again.
I'VE got along without him.

game.

field and play third so I could
move my third baseman. a fellow
named Leach, to shortstop. He
said he didn't know anything
about playing the infield. but
that he'd try it.
THE day after that. we opened
a series in Cincinnati and before
the game a thought came to me.
Why should I mess up two posi-
tons by playing Wagner at third
and Leach at short?
Il asked Honus to move over
to short SO Leach could go back
to his own position. Honus
never played anywhere else after
that"

of American dairy products specialists Oh
the Department of Agriculture soon discov-
cred that if a market for butterfat were
to be found in the Far East it would have
to be put out in different form than that
consumed in this country.
Across the Pacific butterfat is eaten in
the form of ssghee" = semiSolid form
of unsalted concentrated butterfat made
through cooking process. There is little
refrigeration in the Far East and butter
becomes rancid very quickly. But "ghee"
will keep for months at room temperature.
So specialists were sent to India and
Pakistan to learn how to manufacture this
commodity and to find out how it is mar
keted and used. This information was
turned over to the dairy processing indus
try in the United States and prospects for
a new and important outlet for American
butterfat appear favorable. Other studies
of a similar nature are being carried on
But greatly expanded activity will be re-
quired in this field if we are to capitalize
on the many opportunities for selling our
agricultural products abroad.

quickly but for the most part research is a

research should be expanded as soon as
possible.

Consumers Don't Want Much Fat

1T is GENERALLY understood that
beef consumers in this country prefer
leaner meat than those of a generation OF
two ago. But there has been comparatively
little specific information on the subject.
So, specialists of the Wyoming and Colorado
experiment stations decided to find out
what some of the present day women look
for when they buy beef. They interviewed
500 housewives in Denver, Colo. Here are
some OF the things they found:
The average family in this Denver group
preferred beef by wide margin over any
other kind of meat Color is an important
quality factor used by these consumers IN
identifying what they consider good meat.
But the amount of fat or leanness is the
most important economy factor and more
housewives consider it above anything else,
including color.
TIE the average housewife considers
marbling at all, some of them discriminate
against it. Most of them prefer white fat,
then Light yellow fat and are inclined to
avoid meat with definitely yellow fat.
The Denver homemakers were found to
clearly prefer IT, S. Good to either U. s.
Choice or II. 8. Commercial grades. Of the
two latter grades, they definitely like Com
mercial better than Choice because Choice
had too much outside covering OF fat III

u. S. grading system but in pointing OUT
the samples of beef their selections were
as indicated above.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-12-01

The majority of housewives surveyed
said their families like their roasts we'll
done and their steaks medium. About half
the housewives use pressure cookers in
beef cookery, and cook steWs and pot roasts
In them
In roasts the most popular weight is
pounds, although 3-pound roasts are fairly
common. Younger women in particular, and
tWo-fifths of all women, said they throw
away the fat left over from roasts. The rest
use fats and juices to make gravy Some
make soap. Less than half the homemakers
use "a powder or liquid meat tenderizer. Of
those who have tried it, So per cent like it
and As per cent dislike it.
From the standpoint of the beef grower,
the most important fact revealed by the
Denver survey and by some other recent
surveys of similar nature, is that the mod
ern housewife in this area disIikes Choice
or Prime beef because ii has too much fat.
She considers much of the fat to be waste
because her family won't eat it. Some house
wives complain that meat that is too fat
smokes up the kitchen when it is cooked.
So, although virtually every real meat con-

ciates the superior quality of Well-marbled

Agriculture Needs More Research

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH has done
much for the agricultural industry. In COM
paratively recent years it has given the
farmer new chemicals which have been of
tremendous value in combating weeds 1t
has given him hybrid seed corn as well as
new varieties of various crops which are
more resistant to plant diseases and para
sites, or which are of improved quality or
productive capacity.
Out of the scientific laboratories have
also come improved fertilizers, more eff
cient commercial feeds, chemicals which
improve the meat producing efficiency of
animals and new methods of fighting plant
and animal diseases. And studies conducted
by agricultural and mechanical engineers
have resulted in continued stream of
new labor saving equipment which has in
creased the efficiency of farm and ranch
operations.
But great as have been the accomplish
ments of research specialists, the need for
more research is greater than ever. Con-
tinued study and experimentation is going
to be needed If agriculture is to lower its
production costs, improve the efficiency of
distribution, develop more uses for farm
products and new products that can be
produced on acreage taken out of cultiva-
ton under the surplus control program
There is also crying need for intelli-
gent study of foreign markets in an effort
to develop a greater demand for American
farm products.
