TRAILS
By ROBERT B. RYAN

There is an old adage that
no one ever does anything about
the weather. "Rainmakers" in
recent years have tended to dis
prove this statement, and now
"snowmakers" have appeared
on the scene to establish an
additional measure of mans
control over the elements.
Snowmakers are now a fix
ture, not only of southern skiing,
but anywhere generally the
EaSt) where nature may be less
than generous with natural
cover. The snowmaker, in some
cases, has meant the differ
ence between success and fail
ure at many a marginal" ski
development from Massachu-
sets to Virginia.
What is artificial snow? I was
asked, "Is it chips of plastic? ?"
or is it shaved ice or frozen
water? It is none of these. It is
snow, actual crystals Of snow,
produced in the same physical
form as the crystals which float
down from above.
It is in the manner Of its
manufacture that artificial
snow is different from the ma
tural product. 1t is created by
combining vaporized water
under pressure with a strong,
carefully-shaped current of

ALONG TENPIN LANE
Never before in Washington
bowling history has there been
such a visitation by noted keg-
lers as the recent one which
presented Andy Varipapa, Ma
rion Ladewig, Buzz Fazio and
Laverne Carter. Every per-
formance of these outstanding
representatives of tenpins was
acclaimed, but lingering in
memory will be a score rolled
by Cathy Maschak, a 236 that
merely helped to qualify her to
appear against the brilliant
array. Rolled in the Bowl the
Champ Sweeper" at Pentagon
City Sports Center, it was beat
en- in the exhibition series only
by FaZio's 248.

compressed air, under condi-
tions Of temperature and
humidity which would allow
crystal formation Of snow.
Two types Of snow makers are
in general use. One system may
be seen at nearby Shawneeland
near Winchester, Va. There
owner Don Lamborne uses a
high pressure 11re-pump and a
large "road-drill air compress
sor to force the water uphill
and through a series of nozzles
and jets, mounted on tripods
which effectively cover his slope
and rope-tow line.
Other developments such as
Big Boulder, in the Poconos
near White Haven, Pa, use a
device which resembles the
familiar lawn sprinklers. Both
systems have the same effect,
the deposition of a cover of real
honest-to-goodness snow-snow
which meets the critical test
of Skiers along the Atlantic
Seabord.
Last winter, when skiing
throughout the Appalachians
was all but eliminated, Shaw
neeland operated for IL straight

in nearly 200 miles.

turkey had just taken of
through the brush"
This year Judge Duncan was
trying for another turkey. In
Difference to the fact that the
deer season was on, he wore
red cap and kerchief pinned
to his coat for safety, but
buried these in the leaves
when he got to the chosen
spot.
Crouching behind a stump
he called in two turkeys within
5 minutes Of each other the
first morning. Unhappily. he
waited too long for one to
reach an opening and it turned
of into the brush. The other
saw the flash of his gun and
disappeared.
Turkey Escapes in Laurel
The second day he began
building a blind. While he was
adding brush, a turkey ap-
peared 80 feet away. 1t was
running hard and the judge
had only a f1eeting glimpse of
it before it reached safety in a
laurel patch.
. The third day we joined him
after admonitions the night be-
fore that complete silence was
to be maintained in the blind.
There was to be no talking,
smoking, sneezing or coughing.
We even obtained cough drops
from a deer-hunting doctor.
1t was a sleepy twosome that
headed up the mountainside in
the pre-dawn cold. The blind
was made of laurel bushes,
thrust into the ground. Not
far in front were turkey
scratchings on the forest floor.
Plan to Try Again
We sat patiently for several
hours while the judge magic
ally produced perfect limitations
OF a gobbler's notes on the old
wing bone, but nothing hap
pened.
Finally, even the cough drops
failed and we fell into a spasm
that must have alerted all the
turkeys in Bath County.
Anyway, we're going back,
with Duncan, Hester and per-
haps Sammy Snead, the golfer
who's also a great turkey hunt
er. Maybe we'll have wild tur-
key for Christmas.

HUNTING
and
FISHING

Frederick M. Beavers en-
counter with a 41-inch bobcat
on a Virginia mountainside
would sound incredible except
for some facts.
There are plenty of bobcats
in the Virginia mountains. At
the taxidermy shop of L.
Francis Lee at The Plains, Va,
several are on display that
were killed by deer hunters and
others in the nearby hills.
Beaver was squirrel hunting
when the cat, which had been
wounded by another hunter,
came at him. He fired his shot
gun, which failed to stop the
beast, and Beaver, wildcat and
gun landed in a tangled heap.
AS the bobcat clawed for his
face, Beaver, who lives at Hill
side, Md, dispatched it with a
pistol he also carried.

There is just room today to
tell about one sample Olympic
problem. Growth in entries has
been so enormouS-from a few
hundred in 1895 to around 5000
now-that determined efforts
must be made to keep entries
down to a point where the pro-
gram can be run in the 18 days
it now takes, and so that the
financial cost of staging the
games does not grow to astro-
nomical figures.
Over the years the number
Of entries allowed each nation
for each event has been stead
lily reduced. In track and field,
for example, when I went to
Stockholm in 1912, each nation
was allowed IL entries for each
event. We had 10 sprinters in
each of the two daShes. This
was steadily whitfield down to
3 allowed entries in 1856.
At Rome, next summer, in
track and field, each nation will
be allowed, by right, one entry
in each event. 1t can also have
up to two additional entries
provided the athletes can equal
established qualifying perfor-
manceS. However, these are
very. very tough qualifying
standards. How many nations
have 9.4-second men in the 100
or 400 milers? These STAN
dardS may cut down on even
this country's male entries in
the long distance runs. They
are almost certain to affect our
entries in several women's
events.
Evening star., 1959-11-24


Modern Olympics have grown
from an idea in the mind of a
single Frenchman-not himself
an athlete-to an organization
which enrollS more nations
than the United Nations; from
a handful of volunteer athletes
at the first Modern Olympic
Games in 1896, to an entry of
the top men and women from
every nation in the world; from
early performances, well below
national standards, to world
record marks. Yet that, in tab
loid form, is the history of the
Modern Olympic Games.

That this truly amazing de-
velopment has concurred in
spite of international tensions
resulting from two shattering
World Wars and many minor
conflicts is the strongest testi-
mony to the international
influence of sports.
Sportsmen have proved that
they can get along together no
matter how the political lead
erS of different nations may
squabble. SportSmen may bash
each other over the head and
commit mayhem of all sorts on
the field, but after a fairly
played game, mutual respect
becomes established and politi-
cal ideologies, nationalism, and
grabs for power have no place.
Sounds like wishful dream

teur tournaments.
The sectional pros are going
to scrap their own handicap
card system and will accept
Maryland State Golf ASsocia-
ton handicap cards, which
must list a current handicap
and be signed by the club pro.
If a participant does not have
a Maryland State card, he must
show a card with his five lowest
scores over the past IL months.
If he has neither, the anna
teur must play from scratch.

TALLY responsible for our
record"
Here the tall, affable Rich
and Montgomery coach seemed
to stop and think he might
have been caught in a boast.
Did he, having worked under
Mont at Maryland, have an
advantage over his Bi-County
League rivals when he came to
the Rockville school this fall?
In his Office yesterday, Lester
sidestepped this without effort.
mo, sir. You are not going to
catch me saying anything about
coaching. Sure as you do, it'll
come back and hit you. Every
time"
But the facts must be faced.
Richard Montgomery is next to
the bottom in male enrolment
among Bi-County members with
AL boys in the top three
grades.
Almost always a loser in re-
cent years, Richard Montgom-
cry appeared in the same pre-
dicament this season with scant
experience on the squad.
Yet the Rockets turned in the
only all-conquering record in
the metropolitan area: Eight
Bi-County victims plus Sher-
wood and Gaithersburg.
Our record is kind of hard
to fault" Lester agreed, "but
I don't want to build any false
impressions" He meant about
the coaching.
1T sounds corny, I know, /"
he continued, "but this season
you can charge up to a lot of
luck and good team effort. I'll
admit that Mike Curtis (full-
back is a great all-around
player, but it takes more than
one.
Much to my amazement,
these kids picked up a lot of
things and didn't make many
mistakes. We didn't have many
injuries, either.

affect their ability to score.

1t wasn't planned that way,
Of course, but Harvey Tressler's
Thanksgiving Mixed Doubles
Handicap at Alexandria Ten
pins turned out to be a family
party.
Harvey Tressler, jr., and Duey
Hlppeard won, Andy Tressler
and Vernon Ungar were second,
Andy and Frances Colohan
were third and Harvey teamed
with Elaine Tubbs for fifth,
this in a field of 43 couples.
Harvey and Hippeard put on
a show, Harvey with a series
OF 234-649 and Hippeard shoot
ing 245-673. In another series
in the re-entry event, Harvey
rolled 203, 200 and 229 for 632.
But, most interesting score
of the tournament, perhaps,
was the GAL of Sybil Chandler,
fashioned with games of 214
1874 and 243. She and Bob Fudge
landed the seventh and last
prize with a total of 1918.

best quarterbacks in the area.
He began to come on in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase game
and kept coming.
You've got to have a lot of
pleasant surprises like that.
For instance it was unusual the
way our line did so well with
so few physical assets. Our
center, Bob White; Dick Tucker
at tackle and John Auner at
end were the only ones who
played a great deal of football
before"
Tucker, a straight-A student,
is the heaviest of that trio by
far at 100 pounds. There was
a gang of little guards, led by
160-pound Tom Mossburg. Ken
Magee also weighed 100, while
Bobby Khuen went las and
Clifford Boyd, 155. Linebacker
Richie Kaelin and Defensive
End Eddie Grogg also were
155-pounders.
Fittingly enough for Lester,
the season wound up with a
TO victory last Saturday over
Wheaton, coached for the, first
year by Bill Hahn. Lester never
beat Hahn when they were
rival coaches in Cumberland
years back, but he tied him
twice in four games.
Halfback John Kelley caught
a 29-yard pass from Mackey
for the very late touchdown,
but as in many another game
this season it was Kelley's
punting which drew the raves
They punted dead on our 4.
yard line in the third quarter,
Lester related, "and Kelley
punted right back. There was g
15-yard clipping penalty against
Wheaton and the ball ends uI
on Wheaton's 10. And the punt
never touched the ground; theil
safety man caught it."
Some might think it odd, bur
the coach's wife misses all this
Sylvia Lester does not attenc
the games.
Il don't want her sitting ur
in the stands and hearing those
comments about me. She won't
come to the games next year
either" Roy promised.
1t seems likely that, this yeal
or next, Mrs. Lester would hear
almost nothing but good about
her 35-year-old husband.
