BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

In watching John Mandes per-
form in the Columbia Handicap,
one took him to be the unhap-
piest bowler in town. At this
time a year ago Mandes was a
sharp contender for the cham
pionship of the District Major
League. He finished well up with
an average of 1877.
But now, in the same league,
his average is 116.
How come?
II can't figure it," John said
dolefully. "At this time last sea-
son ! had twice as many strikes
in the District League as I have
now"
In the Columbia Handicap
he struggled with splits. Time
and again pocket hit left him
with disheartening setup. He
capitalized. however. on a high
percentage of spare breaks. He
earned every stick of his 585
score. So. whatever was wrong
with Mandes' game apparently
lay in the delivery Of the first
ball.
And whatever it is, the thing
has been with him all season.
When the Columbia Handicap
ordeal was over, a sympathetic
soul offered a suggestion to a
thoroughly diSconSolate Mandes,
and we're passing it on to any
others afflicted with a prolonged
slump-consult Joe Pricci or
Blanche Wootton.
X y + 4
Pricci, available for bowling
instruction at any plant, and
Miss Wootton. only at Silver
Spring, are concerned primarily
with beginners. but it says here
they could be mighty helpful to
any bowler with a flaw in his
delivery. even the brightest star
having an off-Spell.

Question on Page C-O
4. Concentrated defense. Worst
call. One completed pass back
Of this and you've lost. if the
kick is good.
3. 6-2-2-1. This defense doesn't
permit you to concentrate
against the scoring plays. and
the Wolfpack offense is rolling.
2. 3-4-4 defense. Not enough
men to rush the passer in that
three-man line, but it should
guard against the touchdown
pass and long run.
/. 5-2-4. Best call. Good pass
rushing from the Ave men. and
the best all-around defense
against the long pass and run.

AAA Certified Tests Prove
New Sinclair Power-X with X Chemical
Increases Power Cuts Operating Costs as You Drive
DOES WHAT NO OTHER GASOLINE EVER DID BEFORE

In series Of road and laboratory tests, the
American Automobile Association proved
that new Sinclair Power-X Gasoline with
X-Chemical provides more power and
lower operating cost because it:
]. EIiminoies harmful combustion deposits
normally built up in everybody driving.
4. Eliminates PTe-ignitiOn knock as cause Of
power loss and possible engine dumose.
,. DrusieoIlY reduces sp0rk plug foUIing.
AAA technicians supervised road tests,
accompanying drivers all the way. Dyna-
mometer tests proved Sinclair Power-X
increases power in cider cars, retains peak
power in new cars.

Test new Super Premium Sinclair Power-X
in your own car. After just tankfuls, you
can feel the improvement in performance
provided you do not mix it with other
gasoline. See your Sinclair Dealer and

Trapping Prospects Dim;
Pelts FeWer, Prices LO OWer

With last years low prices continu-
ing into the new season, Bluffton
area trappersA and fur dealers were
not looking forward to a very profit
able season this year although some
activity has started.
Russell and Donnie Leiber, the
latter having taken over most of the
fur buying business from his father,
have purchased five mink pelts thus
far this year, but muskrat, coon and
weasel hides are not expected to be
too plentiful at the low prices they
must offer.
The mink are still worth the trap
per's time with prices ranging from
Sc to $14 depending upon the quality
of the piece. The last mink was
purchased from Lynn F a k OF
Mount Cory last Saturday. Young
Falk also caught three musrats and
sold them to Leiber with the mink.
Mr.. Leiber says there have been
quite few muskrats brought in, but
does not believe that this is an in
dication, that there are more local
trappers this year-only that there

Reichenbach homk on West Elm

substantially changed.

Open Tuesday From s a. m.
Until 2 p. m.

among those in the commercial corn
area who will be eligible to vote next

ers referendum. They will cast their

to be adopted for 1857 and future
years.

toned to individual farms by the

Muskrats are bringing only 81 per
pelt, with coon being with the same
price. Last year the ring-tails brought
S5 each. Weasel pelts bring up to IS
cents for the best ones.
Warehouses are full of furs left
over from last year so the market
is expected to continue low, Mr..
Leiber says.
The fact that this has been a dry
fall, however, should make the fur
bearing animals scarce Stream beds
are dry and the drought has probably
greatly reduced the number of small
animals in local fields.
