The punter stood deep in his own
end sone and got off a poor boot

Earl Mares, Stanley quarter
back, snagged the ball on the
one-yard line and a short step
took him across the goal Use

not blocked.
Top prize'j In the skirmish for
the best athletic oddity went to
Gilbert Jeffrey, principal of the
Corning, Kasv school, who wrote
of a basket sunk from 70 feet
down the floor.
Jim Farley, v a member of the
Corning school fire, was guard
ing the opponents' basket with
his slab protecting a one-point
lead daring the, final 11 seconds.
; .He caught a rebound . and,
unable to get the baU away,
threw a two-handed backward
pass orer his "head. The ball
sailed 70 feet and fell through
the Corning hoop without
touching the met.
