?! . St. A, .J& i. I DOUBLE CHAMP Ford Konno, whose double led Ohio State's swimming team to the NCAA championship, shows the power stroke which broke the 500-meter record and then went on to take the 400-yard freestyle. (NEA) Washington Man Hits 299 Came SEATTLE W) A bowler who missed a perfect game by a sin gle pin turned in the day s best performance at the 51st American Bowling Congress tournament Monday. Dale Carter, 27-year-old roofer from Bremerton, Wash., rolled a 299, missing the payoff score on his 12th frame when the No 7 pin wobbled and wavered, then righted itself. The 299 game, the first of this tournament and the first minus one effort since the 1951 ABC at St. Paul, Minn., is the 15th in the 51-year history of the World Series of bowlinz. The only perfect game of this meet, and ttie 13th in an ABC tournament, was rolled by Tony Sparando of Rego Park, N. Y., on March 31. Carter followed his 299 with a 20 and hit 171 in the third game for a 675 total, two pins short of a berth in the singles top ten. While the final total kept him out of the top ten, the 299 game elected him to an elite circle. He is the 28th man in the 52 years of ABC tournament bowling to roll a 299 or 300 game. And that takes in more than 1,780,000 games. t. I I INCLUDES .. . floor ptem. grada A notorial! through out, (tilth link, bathroom KM, ihowtr, ontj s wah basin.

DUPLEX 'ow$1395 COLD SCIENTIFIC explanations notwithstanding, to me a rainbow always has been and always will be a magnificent miracle. Some how each arch recalls my boyhood on the vast Canadian Prairie when wondered: Where do sH the bright colors come from? How many raindrops make up a bow? And way are me colors ranging from violet to red, each with its own speed, but mostly tiey travel tozethcr. friendly like, until broken up by a transparent glass prism or a rain drop at which time they bend and separate and each takes up its own speed, the longer waves, like red, traveling taster ana ine snort er rays, like violet, traveling slow er. As the rays enter each of the countless tiny raindrop prisms the total effect making them a prism of giant proportions the sun's rays are bent and then as they strike the far inner surface of each raindrop they are turned back and bent again as they emerge, meanwhile taking on their own particular speeds and colors and in very definite order from red on the outside through orange. yellow, green blue, indigo and to vioiet. For you to see a rainbow, tticn, the sun must be shining directly behind you while ahead the rain is still falling. Frequently the colors wild over lap and blend due to the variations of the size of raindrops so it is i seldom that the observer can see more tnan lour or live colors clearly. But with a recently per fected filter, 4,000 hues have been detected in a seven-banded rain bow including 800 shades of green. IF THE RAIN ahead is heavy, the huge arc may span the sky and it is circular because the rain drops being spherical give off their reflections in all directions. In deed, if it were not for the earth's cutoff, the reflections would pro duce a visible circle each time Whatever the height of the rain bow s arch, it is due to tne sun s elevation. It is always possible to draw a straight invisible line from the sun to the observer and pro ject this on to the center of the rainoow s arc. mis is unmuiug. Hence, the higher the sun above the horiion the smaller the arc. And should the sun's altitude be too nreat no rainbow would be vis ible at all. This is why the arch it always highest, in fact, semi circular, at either sunset or sun rise. But at any time, should the observer climb to a higb elevation, as in an airplane, he could see the whole wonaenul rainnow circle. As can be surmised, it takes countless raindrops to make up each rainbow. Each drop's effect is extremely transitory. As a re sult, the rainbow is constantly changing, changing a thousand Umes each second. To make matters even more conroiex. a whole or a cart of an other concentric bow may be vis ible at times because there may be two reflections instead of one within the raindrops. Such a sup plementary bow, with the r e a band on the inside edge and the violet on the outside, snows up clearly only when the raindrops are small. And now. should vou have had a mother who unfailingly took you outdoors when a child to view ev ery rainbow, then indeed you can count yourself singularly blessed. As I do. Lakers Snare 3rd Pro Title MINNEAPOLIS I - The In- domltable old pros of the Min neapolis Lakers Tuesday etched another championship into one of the most striking success stories in professional basketball history. The Lakers won their third con secutive National Basketball Assn. title Monday night by belting Syracuse 8740 in the decisive sev enth game of the final playoffs. It gave Minneapolis, which en tered pro basketball strictly as a gamme in ion, a recora ot six titles in seven years of operation. Almost all of its playoff supremacy has hinged on indestructible George Mikan and Jim Pllard, who have been with the team since its organization. It was Pollard who piloted the Lakers Monday night after Syra cuse had shaken off a wave of playoff injuries to tie (he series at three games apiece. The graceful 6-5 forward ram med in 21 points and kindled a first quarter drive which put Min neapolis in front to stay. Big Bevo Kicked Out Of College RIO GRANDE, Ohio l-Tiny Rio Grande College has expelled Bevo Francis, the shy, gangling farm boy who put it on the na tional basketball map. Francis, an awkward hill-coun try lad who speaks slowly when he speaks at all, in two years changed Rio Grande from a school without even a basketball court to one with a big-time basketball program. Monday night the school's com mittee on instruction i s s u, e d a statement saying Francis had been dropped from the rolls because of "an excessive number of unex cused absences, failure to make up more than one of his missed mid-term examinations, and fail ure to attend any classes in the 'last two weeks." Snead Captures Masters Crown AUGUSTA, Ga. W Sam Snead. the drawling West Virginian, made two conquests in winning his third Masters golf championship he beat Ben Hogan by one stroke in their 18-hole playoff and also licked a 'bad case of "yips." "Yips" is a Snead-coined word the Slammer uses to describe put ting jitters, ana ne said before the tournament he was in the midst of the worst case of his career. But Sam handled his putter ade quately Monday and came home in 2-under-par 70 to Hogan's 71. The victory bracketed Snead with Jimmy Demaret as a three-time Masters winner. Hogan, too, was seeking his third Masters title, and naa nopea to necome tne nrst man ever to capture two in sue cession. Snead picked up $5,000 for his victory and Hogan got $3,125, Each also got an undicslosed per centage ot tne piayon gate. Tuet.

By JOE RIECHLER NEW YORK I - The major leagues today opened what prom ises to be one of the most interest ing baseball seasons in many years. Rarely has a campaign started with so many vital question wait ing to be answered. The latest and perhaps the most important is: How much will Enos Slaughter help the New York Yankees? Did the five-time pennant win ning Yankees insure another flag when they acquired the 38-year-old Slaughter from the St. Louis Cardinals on the eve of the pen nant race? Or did they blow their chance when they sold star pitcher Vic Raschi to the Cardinals six weeks earlier? Tight Race The answer may be a long time coming. The prospects are for close races in both leagues. All last years runner-ups appear strengthened and eager to. take a crack at the defending champions. For the first time in years all 16 clubs started the campaign on the same day. Some 215,000 fans were expected to see the eight in augurals. Slaughter, on hand for the Yank ees' opener in Washington, was not in line to see action, but Mickey Mantle, the young outfield star, was slated for duly in center field. apparently recovered from his knee operation of last winter. A sellout of 30.000 was assured to watch President Eisenhower throw out the first ball. After that either left-hander Chuck Stobbs or right-hander Bob Porterfield waa to take the mound for the Sena tors. Southpaw Whitey Ford, who holds a 5-0 lifetime record against Washington, already has been named to open for the Yankees. A battle of southpaws was In prospect in Philadelphia, where Eddie Joost was making his man agerial debut with the A's. Mel Parncll of the Boston Red Sox and Bobby Shantz of the Athletics were the opposing pitchers. A turnout bow for Cincinnati wai Birdie Teb-. of 12,000 was expected. Each team's key slugger was absent Ted Williams, whose frac tured collarbone was reported mending rapidly, is not expected back in the Red Sox lineup until May 15 at the earliest. Gus her nial was out of the Athletics' line up with a sprained neck. Baltimore, returning to the ma jors after 51 years, hoped to get off on the right foot in Detroit Manager Jimmy Dykes, who moved from Philadelphia to Balti more, planned to start either Duane PiUette or Don Larsen on the mound. A crowd of 30,000 was slated to see veteran right-hand er Steve Gromek make the first pitch for the Tigers. Good Duel A good pitching duel was in prospect in Chicago where Early Wynn of Cleveland and Billy Pierce of the White Sox were to clash before 30,000. The National League's largest crowd some 35,000 figured to be on hand for the renewal of the Dodger-Giant feud at the Polo Grounds. Sal Maglie, who has beaten the Dodgers 18 times In 24 decisions, was ready to test his once - aching back against the Brooks, who had Carl Erskine. their World Series hero, fit ana reaay. The Dodgers, except for Man ager Walter Alston, presented the same lineup that appeared in the series last October and the Giants had Willie Mays, their rookie star of 1951, back in center field ofter two years in the Army. Cincinnati, opening the season at home for the 69th straight year. was host to the Braves, who had rookie Henry Aaron in the lineup in place of the injured Bobby Thomson. A capacity crowd of 30, 000 was assured long ago to watch this battle of right-hander, with veteran Bud Podbielan going for the Rcdlegs against sophomore Bob Buhl. Maning hit managerial betts. Pirates Revamped A revamped Pittsburgh team, which opened at home for the first time since 1893, was set to face Philadelphia's ace Robin Roberts with a lineup composed of such hard-bitten veterans as Walker Cooper and Sid Gordon and fuzzy faced youngsters as Curt Roberts and Gail Allie. Bob Friend who pitched sensationally in exhibition games, was the Pirates' nominee. Some 20,000 were expected to be on nana. Rookie Wally Moon was sched uled for duty in center field, Alex Grammas as shortstop and Tom Alston at first base as the Cardi nals played host to the Chicago Cubs in St. Louis before about 18,000. The Cubs, under Stan Hack, wuu repuccu rim vavarreue only a couple of weeks, ago as man ager, also boasted three newcom ers in the lineup. They are center fielder Bob Tal bot, shortstop Ernie Banks and second baseman Gene Baker. Har vey Haddix, a 20-game winner for the Redbirds last year, was named to oppose veteran southpaw Paul Minner. : HOCKEY PLAYOFFS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AMERICAN LEAGUE Cleveland 3.

IFETT Olympia makes good neighbors There is something about Olympia Beer that makes my neighbor and me more neighborly... on the hot afternoons when we mow our lawns or trim the hedge, or wash our cars; Our gardening methods are different. He likes rockeries. I like - terraces. He prefers asters. I grow roses. But, on one thing we both agree. We both prefer Olympia to any other ' beer. I suppose there's a reason for it. They say it's the artesian water used in brewing. Whatever it is, we like it :..and look forward to meeting on warm afternoons to that refreshing moment when we enjoy our bottle of beer together and say, "Olympia makes good neighbors." 7 ? f K 7l Jjnjou S BEER i . f h& IVater th toe '. .'4 1 J Tri4l Mirki ftf .
