Tibbies brought Griffith home . ,1- i. :U4- on a long tnpie io um but was nipped at the plate as he tried to stretch it into a round trip. The Mustangs added one more tally in the second with two hits while the "profs" under the long ball hitting of "Charley" Iluggett came up with two runs. Bv the fifth panel the "school boys" had posted an 8-2 lead on 7 hits and 5 teacner errors.

John "Swivel arm" Snyder and "Charley" Ilug gett blasted out first base trips to load the bases.

The rules now require contest ants to bring in only the noses of the animals for credit and bounty, but a letter received this week may change all that. Ken Keeling, club president, this week received a letter from Reese Finer Foods, Inc., of Chi cago, saying that the company is in the business of creating, pre paring, promoting and canning foods which are unusual on the American market, and that they know a way of preparing porcu pine as this animal is frequently eaten. They asked that two frozen porky carcasses be sent to them and in return they win supply the sender with some samples of canned porcupine for trial. Keeling hopes that if the can ned porky proves popular on the American food market that may be a new industry can be started In Morrow county, inasmuch as there Is plenty of the raw pro duct running around loose in the area chewing up trees etc. The letter was written to the Western Pine Association and was forwarded on to Keeling. It was emphasized, however, that until a market is established for "eating Porcupine", the pre sent contest rules still apply. Noses only. Regarding the local contest, Stanley Musgrave of Monument is well ahead of all other porky hunters with over 100 noses to his credit. o Mr. and Mrs. Ralph I. Thomp son and Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.
