The final tally showed Wash ington 88, Whitman . 44 and University of Idaho 52. , With Ideal weather, prevailing. the favored Huskies went into the lead on the second event and were never headed, taking both first and second place In six events and chalking up the two hest in dividual marks of the afternoon. These were the Javelin, which Keith DeCourcey of Washington tossed 189 feet 7 inches for a new stadium record, and the 100-yard dash in which Evert Pitman of the Huskies tied the stadium mark of 9.9 seconds." -. .. I It remained for Idaho's J ay Gano, however, to achieve the high individual total for the day - with 12 points, barely nosing out four other competitors for top honors. Gano won both the high jump and broad jump and placed third in the low hurdle race. ot Stuff --Got More of Same PHILADELPHIA, May 20 -&) Cuban Roberto Estallella of Mr, Mack's Athletics took some of the Cuban hot stuff out of his diet this spring and now it's in his legs and arms. Mr. Mack affirms that Roberto Is not only hot but also the "most improved" player in the major leagues. :1 .-. J-i' f Last year the ! chunky little neighbor hit .259. Now he's doing .343. Last year he threw a bit like the star of the Paoli girls' aoftball team, now he's fast, ac curate and smooth. Last year he often misjudged the ball in flight. Now his judgment is tops. "It'l fruit Sat did if said Mr. Mack. "Fruit ; and : changing his playing position. He never played center field before. The position la made for him.' ' i Roberto, before the , rennais gance, was an infielder, with oc casional . forays into left field.

A few hundred were four Inches long and fewer1 were 10 inchesbut they averaged 7 and 8, which adds up to a lot of fish. Half of them were" dropped Just beyond the first covered bridge I and south of the pavement, while uie otner load was taken Just past the fourth bridge to a spot north of the pavement. . ; - i It is well known that you can't outfigure both the weather AND the fish, so It Is really no secret where plantings take place. This is proven in the ? report that a party of fishermen were at the spot within an hour after the first liberation, and by dark had taken only eleven-between them. The following day another trio went above the second point; of planting and got their limits In short order but they were all cutthroats. So evidently the rain bow tribe was here and there getting acquainted." Pheasanjt Farm Attracting Visitors ' Another short trip of Interest and which takes no sports' equip ment, 1$ the visit to the state pheasant farm qt Corvallis. Right now the birds are at their best and an hour spent there can be both interesting and educational. You can get a close-up of a family of Canadian honkers in case you have only heard, them or' seen them in flight. ' ! . Pheasants in the field are an aggravation to some and a delight to others. It depends on whether you have Just made a planting of peas or corn, or whether you are dreaming about next fall's hunt ing season. The old ring-neck may not be entirely holy, but it has been proven that the 'China gets blamed for. a lot of depredations for which he is not responsible. Pheasants must eat but the farmer who remembers to seed a little along the fence-rows knows that his crop is less apt to be dis turbed, and that the control cf In sects and pests cannot be meas ured. ; How to Be Happy and Stay at Home This is a land of promise for isnt that about all we have been hearing lately from the candi dates? yet IX it weren't for the hopes and plans spurred on - by the right to fulfill them, we would be a sad lot When they wrote that freedom having to do with the "pursuit of happiness'' they were pointing right at the out doorfolk. It matters little if you choose a rod, or a camera, or hik ing boots and, a bed-roll in get ting your share of happinesson ly let us not allow it to be taken away. This IS a land of promisi for tomorrow. Just now we must be content with close-in recreation, so that later when we may trek farther afield we won't have forgotten how to play. Wild-life projects are the answer, such 1 as trout holding-ponds, raising pheasant broods, or salvaging feathers, fats and hides. These are important to all who enjoy outdoor recreation as well as those who favor, the hunting and fishing sports. The club holding-pond at Tur ner provided countless visitors many thrills Until it was closed, and the local ' meat market had unheard-of sales in hamburger to be tossed in as feed. Now the urge is upon us to build another. Pheas ant raising is Ideal for the Willa mette valley and can be made ed ucational where the younger fu ture sportsmen are given the re sponsibility. Silverton boasts of several broods being handled with great interest and success. Salvage- of wildfowl ' feathers and hides of big game animals for the armed forces has been more systematically conducted in the middle west than locally, which Is a condition we should correct One campaign resulted in. 14,500 deer and elk hides, 52 tons of fat and 400 pounds of duck down. Trans - lated into soldiers' clothing, the buckskin salvage would manufac ture 10,000 aviator jackets and the down. 1000 sleeping robes, or 4000 down-lined jackets, r .
