Fourteen hunters were killed by

toU since the State Gam Commis
sion began keeping records in 1946.
Five of them were "line of fire"
victims shot because by chance
they were in a direct line with the
target, usually resulting from two
hunters stalking the same animal
and winding up with it between
them. - , 1
Five were snot dt tnerr own

the commission regards as due
more to carelessness than to any
thing else.

Ashenfelter, a good college dis
tance runner but untried in the
steeplechase before this year, beat
out nine other Olympic champions
lamed as candidates .'or the award
even more easily than he beat

to base its safety efforts. But from

It.
One conclusion to be drawn.
McAllister said, is that it's mostly
a matter of chance whether the
person in front of a gun that goes
off will be killed or only wounded.
Three hunters, he said, were shot
in 1952 while pulling loaded guns,
muzzle toward them, from auto
mobiles. -
An threev by having loaded guns
in the car ia the first place, were

Yet two survived.

In Boat Meet
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (JF) Five
world records fell, and a woman
drove a boat better than 100
miles an hour for the first time
on record as the four-day Orange
Bowl Regatta closed Monday with
a dazzling burst of speed.
Howard Johanson's Mixmaster
from Los Angeles, which was re
built twice during the past week
after accidents, was driven by Lou
Nuta, Jr., Miami, at a record
122.039 miles an hour.
Mrs. Mildred Foulke, Baltimore,
Mr., drove the Sagana XIII, a 266
hydro, at an average pace of
111.289 for the two-way passage,
making her the first woman ever
to pilot a boat at more than 100
miles an hour.
One man plunged over a cliff to
his death. Two duck hunters died
when their boat overturned. Sev
eral succumbed to heart attacks.
But the commission takes no
account of these, considering . that
those deaths might huve happened
anywhere. Its . concern is with
getting enough statistics to do
something: about the gunfire
hazard,
These are the 1952 victims and
how they died, as compiled by
McAllister from state ponce, news
paper and other reports: ;
