At a recent display of mer-
chandise for dealers. it was in
teresting to note that many
lines have been improved so as
to better meet the needs of the
home gardener and also that
there were fewer poorly con-
structed or designed items. This
would seem to indicate that the
manufacturers are studying the
gardeners needs in order to
provide equipment that will
either make their chores easier
to do or are designing the
machines to fit the size of the
job
Lawnmower displays made up
a sizeable segment of the show
The changes in them were most
conspicuous. Many rotary now
er manufacturers now have self
propelled models. In addition
there were many riding models
One of the larger models has
the rotary mounted in such a
way that if follows the contour
One manufacturer now has a
light gang mower for the larger
lawn that is neither as heavy
nor as expensive as the gangs
built for use in parks and golf
courses.
A new type of lawnmower is
a combination of the reel and
the rotary. The many blades are
mounted on reel-type Of sup
port and the reel rotates counter
to the old type. The reel re-
wolves at a high speed like the
rotary but the blades cut the
grass and weeds without the aid
of a cutter bar. Even with the
high speed reel, it tlicks stones
and sticks out with the driving
force of the rotary. The large
number of sharp blades mounted
on the reel would seem to pre-
sent a sharpening problem but
the manufacturer exchanges the
set Of blades for new ones at a
standard price. The reel is easy
to remove.
Plastic Items Appear
Many garden items are now
available in rust-proof alumni
mum which needs no paint.
There are aluminium trellises,
plant supports. edging strips,
plant markers. and others. The
newest one, a collar to fit around
shrubs or trees. is designed to
do away with the trimming
problem.
Plastics also were prominent
among the garden supply items
plastic flats, pots. and a host
of other items. Even plastic
pickets will be offered the gard
ener this year in competition
with the wooden pickets so
widely used to keep the small fry
out of flower beds. Plastic film
is now being used in place
of glass in the small enclo-
sures for starting seeds and
roofing cuttings. Plastic garden
hose is a relatively new item.
The type for underground use
will appeal to many gardeners
since it is less subject to freeze

Hassle Mars Game
The sweetness of yesterdays
victory was FILTERED. however,
when Fullback Larry Hickman
was elected from the game for
kicking Tennessee Guard Bruce
Burnham in the face during a
third-quarter hassle in which
fists were flying right and left,
Hickman later apologized to the
Tennessee squad at the dinner
for coaches and players.
The injury sent Burnham to
the hospital, where he was
treated for a slight conclusion
and facial decorations. Hospital
spokesman said he was scheduled
for release today barring any
complications"
Burnham would have been
elected from the game also since
lit was his personal foul which
touched off the melee.

triumph was the first game I've
ever won can't be happy about. "
He was at a loss to explain Hick-
mans action and added he be-
lieved 1.-The boy himself probably
doesn't know why he did it."
But the incident could not de-
tract from Baylor'S magnificent
team effort as the Bears handed
Tennessee its first defeat this
season. Tennessee ranked second
in the final Associated Press poll
Of the season and entered the
game as a 7i2-point favorite.
Pass Scores for Bears
Baylor stepped into the lead in
the second quarter on Quarter
back Bobby Jones l2-yard pass
to End Jerry Marcontell. Don
Berry's try for the extra point
was wide. The Bears touchdown
had been set up by a 54-yard run
by Del Shofner, Baylor's 9.0
Splinter.
But the missed extra point
looked awfully costly in the third
quarter when Johnny Majors

back. started putting life in the
Vols attack. Majors. who COM
pleted only one pass all after

put the Vols ahead.
But Majors was also to figure

and Reuben Sage of Baylor
