As a result, here's a passel of facts vs. fallacies found at the zoo. Fallacy: "How contented those pheasants look, all grouped togeth er." Pact: Few birds, pheasants in cluded, like to live in confined groups. Male birds stake out their own territory, warn rivals to keep out and announce their presence to eligible females by crowing cr singing. During the mating season, most male birds will not tolerate an other male within a certain, self determined area. In some spe cies, the female will not permit another of her sex to enter the sacred precincts. However, a few birds such as purple martins, cliff swallows, bank swallows, some herons and most sea birds do encourage neigh borliness. Yet, even these have territories, small but vigorously defended. Fallacy: "What a shame to keep a lion confined to suoh a limited area." . Fact: Among, the larger meat eating animals, the lion suffers perhaps less under close confine- LOOKING FOR URANIUM? m Gieger Counters White Elec tronics Oremaster ; u i The "Scintillator" Model 1 1 1 should be ordered 3 or 4 weeks before needed.

' Red Blue Brown Black fullv illustrate luck of these ment than any other for the sim ple reason that be has a lesser urge for movement. To put it bluntly, the lion is a lazy ani mal. You seldom see him pacing restlessly to and fro in his cage as wolves, foxes and panthers do for hours at a stretch. SHOULD THE URGE for loco motion overcome him, he may stroll up and down the length of his cage a couple of times, but his walk certainly has none of the frantic urge of captive cats. To my mind, the worst offense committed against caged animals are against wolves and foxes. Fallacy: Yes, dear, the elephant drinks through his trunk." Fact: The elephant sucks water up into his trunk and then squirts it into his mouth. As for the young 'un, it uses its mouth, not its trunk, to suck milk from its moth er. Incidentally, the young is born after about a 22-month pregnancy, weighing from 150 to 200 pounds; Fallacy: "Penguins come from both the north and south pole." Fact: The flightless penguin's native habitat' is south of the equator. There they may have quite a spread being found on South Sea Islands, in parts of Aus tralia, New Zealand, and in some parts of South America, even as far up the coast as Peru. In the Arctic, one finds the auks and puf fins which somewhat resemble the penguins however these birds can fly, the penguin can t. FALLACY "Yes,, darling, an! mals eyes shine in the dark." Fact: Animals' eyes do not shine in the dark, they only glow when they reflect light from headlights, searchlights, or campfires. . The glow is produced by a layer of crystalline substance which re flects light. Unlike animals' eyes, the hum an's have practically none of this suDstance ana tnereiore seldom re flect light. In reflecting light, some animals-eyes are redder than others. This is mostly due to the concen tration of blood in the eyes. Those animals which have many blood vessels tend to glow with a def inite red color; those with fewer blood vessels have a whiter glow. Fallacy: "An elephant never SANDWICHES TO MIDNIGHT FRI. 4 SAT.

Higgins Due In Boston; Queries Posed For Sox BOSTON m Michael (Pinky) Higgins, newly appoined mana ger of the Boston Red Sox, was slated for his first interview with the Boston baseball writers late Wednesday after driving from bis nome in. uauas, Texas. ; So sudden was the announce ment last Monday of his promo tion from manager of Boston's Louisville farm club in the Amer ican Assn. to the Red Sox that the eager scribes have been unable to contact him. Among the obvious queries due to be put to him are these: What does he plan to do about the Red Sox weakness on double plays that has plagued the club since retirement of Bobby Doerr? What about Ted Williams' plans for retirement: Will Higgins try to stop him from leaving? Who on his great team at Louis villewhich won the Little World Series this year does he figure can bolster the Boston team in 1955?

Fact: Although elephants have exhibited rather long memories, the time varying with different individuals, their power of mem ory has been greatly overrated. To say that an elephant never for gets is without foundation.

In this second season of the re turn to one platoon play, the suc cess of a bruising ground attack combined with an alert defense is the one consistent thread running through an upset-studded cam paign. Those who watched the nationally-televised W 1 s c o n s 1 --Rice game last week got a good look al the "new" grid game as it has developed after the '53 season readjustment. It was booked as a contest be tween the lighter, faster South- westerners spaxked the breaka way Dickie Moegle and the solid Badgers behind crashing fullback Alan (The Horse) Amecbe. Ame che scored with -50 seconds re maining to give Wisconsin a' 13-7 victory. . Lines Stop Runners ' Rice fought it out with, the Bad gers in a rugged line struggle, never, shaking its long gainers loose. Ameche slammed into the Owls 21 times for 90 yards and both Wisconsin touchdowns. Power football, wearing through Rice's shock-absorbers, paid off when Ameche crashed ntnt tacki for the winning score. In a surprise last week under dog Harvard marched 77 yards in the closing moments tor a 13-12 margin over Cornell. The Crim son stuck to the ground with foot ball's basic play, the off tackl smash. Afterward coach Lloyd Jordan recalling the drive, said: "They honored Gil Dobie out T -W Jtl 2435 N. STEPHENS Trick Plays there at halftirae as a Hall of Fame coach and had he been liv ing he would have enjoyed our fin ish. It was his type of football not too colorful, maybe, but it wins games." Celltgts Look Back Dobie's coaching methods ex. emplify that era to which colleges now are turning for results. The schools are looking over their shoulders to the great rock-ribbed clubs of the past like the Minne sota, Southern California and Pittsburgh elevens of the 1930's That explains why so manv Dre. season Predictions missed fire this year. Illinois, loaded with fast backs, drew heavy support but hasn't won any of its first three games because it hasn't shown the pile-driving runner or granite line. Oklahoma and UCLA are other leading teams to date. They've played a clever tactical game awaiting breaks and capitalizing on them. Lineman Honors Cast Over Oklahoma Center NORMAN, Okla. im The Bur ris family of Muskogee, Okla., has its second contender for All Amer ica football honors in brother Kurt, the 6-foot-l, 205-pound Uni versity of Oklahoma center. His raging play as center and linebacker Saturday against Tex as In the Dallas Cotton Bowl has already won him the title of As sociated Press Lineman of t h e Week. Texas left the game with plenty of respect for the fast, hard-blocking linebacker who smothered the Longhorns' running game. Other opponents at California and Texas Christian earlier expressed sim ilar sentiments. i uinj fo) Reports from Hyrfra-Alafk GMC owners clinch the all-around superiority of "Hydra-Matic Hauling" ' drivers love ,t.
