Sad Sacks, Court
Squad Take Lead
In Kegling Loop
The Sad Saeks and Wahee
Courts team forged into the lead

two games over the Strikers and
two out of three over the Medics,
respectively, in the Wednesday
night contests. Sad Sacks keg-
lers placed sixth in last season’s
loop and the Wahee Courts unit
placed third. In other contests

With Post Engineer jacks and
dollies aiding in the face lifting,
Casual Company this week con
tinued the improvement pro
gram which has converted the
original post construction camp,
or IV' Corps area, into a com
munity of military barracks in
a rustic environment. Two build
ings were moved from Annex
’’A ’’ to the main area and placed
in condition for housing troops.
Other projects contemplated for
the immediate future by Capt.
William F. Ward, company com
mander, are a softball diamond
and planting of grass and trees
throughout the area.
Evidence of the changes that
ingenuity and hard work can ac
complish is particularly notice
able in the annex area, the work
on which was supervised by
Capt. Harry Friedman, where
the exterior of the orderly room
has taken on the appearance of
a ski lodge. Logs of native sap
ling pine have been used in the
construction of the entrance.
River Yields
Average Catch
As Season Opens
Salmon eggs and heavy sink
ers brought in the only sizeable
catches ’ on the opening days of
the 1944 trout season last week
end. Our river friends, apparent
ly less intrepid than Camp Ab
bot anglers, remained close to
the bed of the river, avoiding
icy winds that fanned the sur
face.
Lt. Aubrey Ettenheimer and
Lt. G. C. Dorey were the most
successful post fishermen. Us
ing No. 8 hooks, they drew five
one - to - two* pounders from the
Deschutes River where it skirts
the IV Corps area Saturday
afternoon, and on Sunday, cast
ing at the Mill Pond in Bend,
repeated that feat and added to
the quintet the record catch thus
far reported, a thirty-inch Ger
man Brown.
In spite of snow flurries and
low temperatures, khak i- c 1 a d
fishermen were seen at every
bend of the river and at promis
ing points between. Practically
every type of tackle, from Major
R. J. Pflaum’s Payne tourna
ment s a l m o n action rod and
Hardy O’Fishal reel to Huckle
berry Finn poles carved from
Oregon jack-pine, angled for the
wily trout. In most instances the
efforts were poorly rewarded.
The IV Corps Area catch was
the only one reported within the
confines of the post, except one
nebulous twenty-four-inch fish
said to have been taken from the
Deschutes in the same area.
However, as the fisherman got
away, the catch could not be
verified.
Don H. Peoples, Secretary of
the Bend Chamber of Commerce
and local authority on trout fish
ing, predicts that river - bottom
fishing will again bring best re
sults this week-end.
Post Volleyball
Tournament Starts
Eighteen teams have been en-
terd in th post volleyball tourna
ment which opened Wednesday
night. The tournament promises
to be a "howling success,” S Sgt.
Leo Frizzo, athletic director,
said.
In the first night of competi
tion, Service and Casual Com
panies won their sets two
straight. The scores: Service, 15,
15; A-53, 8, 3; Casual, 15, 15;
B-53, 3, 8.
