Quail Hunting
Possible Here

. COLUMBUS, OFIIO-According
to a recent Division of Wildlife
study made by personnel of the
game section, from a biological
standpoint there appears to be no
reason why a limited amount of
quail hunting could not be en-
joyed by Ohio sportsmen. Even
near the fringe of its range the
bobwhite normally produces an
annual surplus which could safely
be removed by hunting. A care
fully regulated harvest of quail
in Ohio would not endanger the
existence of the species nor impair
its future productivity. The effect
of hunting is of a short-term ma
ture and natural mortality re-
places hunting in unshot popula-
tions. A hunting kill could very

Horseshoe Assn.
Will Organize
With New Count

The Ohio Division of the Ameri-
can Horseshoe Pitchers Associa-
tion has embarked on an organiza-
tional campaign throughout the
state and special emphasis is be-
ing made to organize the sport in
the small towns of Ohio.
The program consists of Handi-
cap leagues using the Count-All
system of scoring. The Count-All
system is the new look" in the
great American sport of horseshoe
pitching. 1t is simply a method
whereby BOTH pitchers get credit
for all they toss within 6 inches of
the stake and a game consists of
25 innings or so shoes. This is in
direct contrast to the old cancel
lation game of so points which fa-
vorS the expert. Our method en-
ableS d beginner to compete on
even terms with anyone. Stress is
placed on team play.
Our organization is willing to
aid any individual or groups in
organizing a horseshoe club in
your community. We believe that
the sport has tremendous possibil-
tiles in the small communities and
that a fine, friendly rivalry can
be built up between towns by
means of Inter-City Handicap
Leagues.

AFTER DARK
BY HARRY MACARTHUR

When bernard 6rAloVe, SIluTe-
ham Hotel executive vice presi-
dent, decided he could pro-
duce better floor shows than
anyone had been sending him,
he did more than merely
prove it. He inspired wooing Of
the Muse all over the place. The
creative impulse has been flow-
ering in the u~nlikeliest Of cor
ners and maybe no hotel ever
had so much of it underfoot.
You think House Detective
Tom Young has been filling all
his hours with the pursuit Of
miscreants UP and down the cor
ridors? Nope. You think Bar
tender Larry Teller has been
frittering away all his time wav-
ing vermouth bottles softly over
beakers of gin? No again.
They've been writing songs,
that's what they have been doing
and the evidence is now on dis
play in the new Blue Room en-
tertainment. There also. Incl
dentally, is some indication that
their occupations have left their
mark on these compositions. Mr..
Tellier's is httingly titled 1.-The
Cocktail Hour" and Mr.. Young's
is called You're the INCEST
Thing" a phrase a house detec-
tive just possibly might have
overheard somewhere.
Anyhow they are quite pleas
ant tunes and they are given a
lush treatment In the Blue Room

Just concluded.
COMPO, which is short, if not
actually abrupt, for Committee
of Motion Picture Organizations,
conducted the balloting. 1t will
make mis- election of favorites
by the movie-goers an annual
event and with Is million re-
ported to have cast ballots in
this. the first poll. the future
looks whopping.
There is no slight question as
to the most dramatic aspect OF
the movie-goers' poll.
This was the choice of the
late James Dean as the years
best actor. No youngster in any
area of endeavor could have
asked a warmer tribute than
the handsome, high = spirited,
soft-voiced lad who was killed
in an auto mishap recently. That
1t comes p~osthumously to one
so young and promising drama
tizes the first poll beyond any
other facet of it.
With another selection, that
of blond, willowy Tab Hunter
as the most promising male
newcomer. it underscores ar
unacceptable intimation. and q
pleasant one, of the poll.
This intimation-to be trapped
by another irresistible generali-
Eation-is that the majority OF
voters in the poll were young
And, that the most intense Of
these were the feminine young

with none of whom we had an
equally close association.
One of the nice things about
contemporary girls. it always
seems, is that their tastes are
simpler, Surer. The main object
of their quest is Prince Charm
ing and when they are young
and shining new, there is never
any doubt that they will find
him. The doubts come later
when life becomes more like life,
and less like the movies. and
compromise suggests there is too
little of godlikeness in the other
sex.
So James Dean who was young.
handsome, tense and intensely
alive turns out to be the movie
goers' first choice. This is q good
thing for the movies. And no
doubt for the species. Reinforce
ing its implications is that Tab
Hunter is the choice as heir APP
parent. He is a youngster with
an entirely different texture of
personality. bubbling as against
the brooding type that Dean rep
resented, but the symbol never
theless.
It is possible tnat the Nations
film critics and movie Academy
voters will disagree that either
youngster is THAT good when
their turns come to name their
best actors of 1855. But these
two groups Of voters are older
types who have begun to sag
physically and to droop spiritu-
ally. Their tastes are different
without making any pretense Of
being better. Well, at least the
tactful ones make no claim to
superiority on this score.
AS a matter of fact, the critics
have been full Of admiration for
Deans work. They praised him
highly in almost every picture
from his first through East Of
Eden" and Rebel Without a
Cause" his last two save. for
Giant" which will be released
later.
But best? That Is a distinc-
ton they were reserving for
later. Too late, it turned out
so poignantly.

Newark st. Francis once beaten
Green Wave, biding its time until
the 'big one" next week with Co
lumbus st. Mary, meets the up
and coming Rosary Crusaders tor
night on the Knights of Columbus
court.
The defending Central Catholic
League champs have lost only to St.
Mary so far this season and have
rolled up II wins, the latest COM
ing last Saturday against Column
bus Holy Family, $3.50. The 81
points was a new Central Catholic
League scoring record, exceeding
Marion st. Mary's e5 tallies against
the same Holy Family crew three
years ago.
Rosary, winners of only one
game in II starts so far, has been
improving the last couple of weeks.
Last Saturday they battled a good
Springfield Central Catholic team
down to the wire before losing,
4441.
Rams After Is
The diocese'S lone unbeaten
team, Columbus st. Mary, goes af-
ter number Is tonight in Chilli
cothe where the Rams meet Catho-
lie Central in a game which should
fill the Panthers' gym. st. Mary
topped Central in their first game
of the season, and rules a favorite
to repeat.
Ken Neville's crew racked up
wins number IL, IS, IA and Is last
week when they dropped Midway,
Columbus University, st. Charles
and the Ohio Deaf school. They
weren't pressed except for the
Carolian game which they won
5041.

ly tried to beat the Rams almost by
himself and for the first three
quarters he almost did it. Batcheck
tossed in Is of st. Charles first II
points as Jack Ryan tried COM

fense on st. Mary.
The Cards based their hopes on
Batcheck's accuracy. Most of their
offense was built around "pass to

wide open for a shot" The sterling

st. Charles guard hit most of his
shots from past the foul circle. He
incurred his fourth foul midway in
the third period, however, and had
to sit out most of that quarter.
When he left, st. Mary started to
roll.
Al Buccilla did most of the dam
age in the third quarter with set
shots from outside the Carolian
zone and then Stewart and Barker
started working loss. Shortly be-
fore the third period ended the
Rams Bob Paullus hit on a drive
in to give st. Mary 1881 lead as
the period ended.
From then on it was all Rams
with the Cards trying hard to
catch up. The four St. Mary wins
during the week left Stewart and
Barker all alone in the race for
Greater Columbus scoring honors.
Barker leads with $40 points while
Stewart is right behind with 321
tallies.
Ames-Berne at ST. AIS
New Lexington st. Aloysius post
ed its tenth win in twelve starts
so far this season with a 77-56 win
over Chillicothe Catholic Central
last Friday. The Blue Knights were
led by Captain Myron Smiths %
points while Ed Nash and Lloyd
0usley Clipped in with 20 and 18
points apiece. St. Al's will meet
the strong BeFne-Union team of
Athens county Saturday night in
New Lexington.
GAINESVILLE Rosecrans' unpredict-
able Bishops will be favored Sat1r-
day night when they test South
GAINESVILLE and then probably will
assume the underdogs' role for
their Tuesday encounter with New
ark st. Francis on the GAINESVILLE
floor. Any one of the five Bish-
op starters is capable of hitting in
the double figures but Dick Mat
tingly's biggest problem is getting
them to do it at the same time.
