Mistaken Identity
For Greenhorn Hunter
WATERBORO, Me., Dec. 26-OP)
A hunter from a large eastern
city who never had seen a deer,
selected the woods near here for
his first fling at hunting the
whitetails. He prowled but a
short distance then used his rifle
to down a heavy animal.
The greenhorn hauled his prize
to his car and headed for the
nearest game inspection station.
There he was informed that his
trophy couldn't be tagged because
it was a heifer and not a deer.

in all departments with letter

Hanks such southern state prep
standouts as Jerry Thorn at cen

Busman at forwards and Don
Cessnas and Ray Craig at guards.
Altogether the Pels make up a
quint said to be one of the strong
est reared at K-Falls in years.
The Pelicans played in Albany
last .night on the first leg of their
barnstorming. Jaunt into the Wil
lamette valley. Before that they
polished off a southern Oregon
tournament by outclassing such
quints as Longview. Wash., Oregon
City and Baker. The Scott crew is
reputedly the team to beat for
the district 4 prep championship
this season.

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 26-(yP)-Pasadena and Los Angeles are
reaching a parting of the ways on New Year's football games.
City Councilman Lee Warburton of Los Angeles told his fellow
eouncilmen today he would introduce next week a resolution
calling for a New Year's football game In the Los Angeles Me
morial coliseum "between the two best teams In the United
States."
The council, individually and collectively, reacted with con
siderable feeling against a statement by UCLA officials that the
council got free passes to the Rose Bowl game between UCLA
and Illinois. Councilman John Holland said the council neither
asked nor got favors from UCLA.
Warburton said Los Angeles should have Its own New Year's
game, not limited to the champions of the Big Nine and the Pa
cific coast conference, but open to the two outstanding teams
of the nation.
"And we'll get 'em out here, too," he added.

Achiu Gets Main Event Dish
On New Year's Mat Bee Here
Walt (Th Sneeze) Achiu, the in-again-out-again Chinaman
who has proved in the past he's just about as sharp a grappler as
there is of a Tuesday night at the Ferry Street Garden, is in again.
Matchmaker Elton Owen announced last night that the popular
ju-jitsu artist, a surprise participant on this week's card, will occupy
no less than the main event rung
on next Wednesday night show
at the armory. Wednesday night,
that is, instead of Tuesday so as
to escape conflict with New
Year's eve.
Wily Walter will do his main
eventing with Jack (Th Jaw)
Lipscomb who. not unlike the
Chinese trickster, intends un
leashing a Northwest comeback
which will take him right to the
top of the heap and the fat
purses waiting thereon. Achiu
made known his comeback in
tentions by telephone last night
and, consequently, is in line for
number of topnotch matches
locally.
Two other preliminary bouts
will be announced later by Owen,
and there is a possibility that a
fourth mix may be added. Ducats
re now on sale . at Maple &
Keene's.
