Just last week end, this 29-year-old bespectacled ball buster was ready to give up tourna ment golf. His wife Carolyn, talked him Into giving it "Just ona more try." So, dispiritedly, he came to Oak Hill Country Club and bumped into Jackson Bradley, a pro friend from Tex- "Bradley straightened me out," Rosburg glows. "I can't hardly believe it, but I sure am (lad I came." There are a number of schools of thought regarding that. Because the guys who gal lop over the greens don't think he's much of a golfer and yet they regard this six-foot, 190 po under as a real threat because he's not a "worrier." They don't think much of him because he has a baseball grip and his swing has all the aspects of a department store manne quin. "Never mind my swing," says Rosburg. "The real artistry of golf is in those short chip shots and putts." That's for sure. The man whose father started him swing ing a club at two and who scored a hole in one at seven be fore going on to play with Stan ford's NCAA championship team had nine one-putt greens Thursday. That permitted him to score 16 pars and two birdies which, whether he looks like Harry Vardon or a mechanical blacksmith, is a lot of golf. Rosburg had his heart set on being a ball player and was a second baseman good enough to attract pro offers. "I felt I was too slow to reach any real heights in pro baseball so I passed them up," he ex plains. After graduating, Rosburg, a quarter-finalist in the 1947 U.S. amateur championship, tried his hand at selling automobiles and working in a clothing store. In 1953 he took a pro job in Chi cago and finally hit the tourna ment trail in 1954. Swiftly he won at Brawley and Stockton, in California, and after going home because of homesickness, drove across country to win the Miami Open. Last year, despite the form which causes most stylists to Is That So? More ranger's definitions: A cabin is made of split cedar shakes. It's your home. The chip munks call on you, they come in through the window. The bacon hangs on a blue string, and your coffee pot hangs on the wall. You get your water from the stream below. The floor is chewed up from caulked boots. The cedar smells like green cedar forever. A calendar is useless except for reports and then you're off a couple of days anyway. A fence Just naturally doesn't exist, for the land is your own. Devil's clubs are, in the main, hellish. Their thorns fester and work Into your hide. A civet cat has the sweetest, potentest, gosh-awfullest smell any mortal has ever smelled. The New York subways aren't in it. A wildcat just sits sleepless in a crotch of a fir, and you never see him. Now and then, as a joke he leaves a bunch of soft feathers in the trail. A kingfisher perches atop the highest snag on the stream and is the sassiest, most wideawake lookout on a mountain stream. He dives, and diving, twir-ir-rrs sh .dder, he was the 13th money winner with earnings of 510, 689. But this year it was a sadly different story. He isn't among the top 15 and when he finished 15th out of 16 at the Wykagl round-robin he was ready to call it ouits. There are a lot of guys in back of him as they go into the second round of the Open who wish that he had.

Joe is a cook who makes thun dering good coffee and is so cocky about it that it spoils his fishing for the rest of the day. A bear scares you plumb out of your pants when you run into him. He lumbers along like a fat, wheezy dame waddling across the street. They say he can out run a horse going uphill. His front legs are much too short for speedy downhill locomotion. Lunch in Red Bandanna Ed is the game warden. They don't "spinner-fish" any better than he. Both he and I have hooked "the big one" once in Slide pool. Heaven pity poor Ed if he sneaks out there and gets him while I'm away! He ties his lunch in a red bandanna and lets it swing from his pants' belt. A watch is a thing you carry on a buckskin lace for a week, and after it gets wet twice - the stem is rusty and it won't run even if you do want to take it along. Mountain-ash is the first red which tells the woods, "Fall's a breaking in." The red berries make pie, but I'd lot rather eat sour green apples and take the consequences. The Compleat Angler is the only book which goes with the woods. A small leather copy fits into almost any pocket. It reads even better after it has been soaked twice. Caulks are on the bottom of your soles. They catch on a log and stick! They punch patterns in the wet sand. A tenderfoot feels like bawling when he "corks" his boots so they leak the first day.

Suit Filed Against Firm for Damages Totaling $100,484 Mrs. Vivian Milsom, Eagle Point, has filed a complaint in circuit court against Medford corporation and Fred Kincaid, asking $100,484 damages, and resulting from an accident in which her husband.

Follow the Hardtops Counting Voices Solves Problem Of Woodcocks Washington (U.R) Fish and Wildlife Service census-takers have solved the unique problem of counting the nation's wood cocks the birds with the built-in rear view mirrors. They simply count their voices. ' One of the features of the wood cock is that its eyes are placed so that it can keep a look out to the rear while it has its bill in the ground searching for food. The rear-view vision helps protect the bird from its ene mies, but it also makes it hard to keep track of. The census is called a "sing ing ground count" and is taken by counting the voices of the male birds during the mating season. To take its survey the service has enlisted the aid of wildlife fanciers in states where the bird abounds. ; The survey is being taken around sundown when the male birds usually sing for one-half to three-quarters of an hour. The census-takers walk along three to four-mile routes which run through choice woodcock lands. The counters stop at stations which are laid out approximate ly half a mile apart. At each station they give ex actly two minutes of listening time and record the number of male birds singing there. The same routes and stops will be used each year and the varia tions in the number of recorded birds each year will indicate trends in breeding population, the service said. Since the woodcock is a mi gratory bird, the count is taken at different times in different areas. The time also varies from year to year, depending on sea sonal variations. While the woodcock is a wood land bird, it belongs to the same family of shore birds as snipes and sandpipers. It is highly priz ed among hunters, and the Wild life Service says about a quarter million of the birds are taken each year.
