Color-Blindness
Said Hunting
Accident Cause
From 6 to 8 per cent of all
men are color-blind, according
to the Oregon Optometric asso
ciation, which cites this as a
common cause of hunting acci
dents. "About a million hunters are
unable to distinguish the tradi
tional red cap or jacket worn by
sportsmen m the field." Dr. T.
M. Pace, president of the associ
ation, declared. "Even for hunt
ers with normal color vision, it
is sometimes hard to spot a red
garment against the reddish
brown fall landscape."
Tlie association has recom
mended the use of bold patterns
in contrasting colors for safe
hunting. Large black and white
checks are suggested as the best
example of distinctively visible
sportswear

Lions, Cardinals Leaders
In Pro Grid Divisions
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press Sports Writer
The Detroit Lions and Chica
go Cardinals topped the Nation
al Football league's division rac
es today with 3-0 records while
the champion Cleveland Browns
languished in the worst scoring
slump of their 11-year history.
The Lions, the Western divis
ion's only perfect record team,
fought off a rip-snorting rally
to edge the Los Angeles Rams
Sunday. 24-21. The Cardinals,
with Ollie Matson racing 105
yards with a kickoff, remained
the Eastern race's only undefeat
ed, untied club by thumping the
Washington Redskins, 71-3.
Washington was the only team
without a victory at the one
quarter mark in' the campaign,

Is That So?
Beloved sleep! Yet what curi
ous turns it takes among the
creatures of the wild.
A seal has been observed
sleeping underwater, breachin;
the surface every six minutes or
so to breathe deeply a half dozen
times and then sink below the
surface again. Narrow - winged
swift-flying swifts have been
seen asleep "on the wing" high
above the earth. And elephants,
as well as horses, may sleep
standing up not lying down for
five or more hours at a stretch!
With animals, sleep is essen-
t i a 1 : sleeplessness sometimes
killing even more quickly than
starvation. Should a dog. not
sleep for five days, it will die.
Enforced wakefulness can be fa
tal to other mammals.
Several animals cluster for
sleep. Some snakes gather in
great masses to sleep until the
sunny days come and weather
moderates. Eastern bob-whites
customarily roost in a close
packed circle, heads facing out
ward. In fact this instinct is so
strongly ingrained, that newly
hatched bob-whites will assume
this circular arrangement upon
the first day.
Other birds gather in great
"dormitories." Among these are
some of the swifts, who may
cling together in a great ball like
swarming bees. Crows and star
lings gather in flocks ranging
froij) hundreds to thousands and
our once- common passenger
pigeon foregathered by the half
million or more.
Curious, too, are the sleeping
hours. Ringed snakes have been
known to sleep 22-hour shifts,
from 2 p.m. to 12-noon, the fol
lowing day. A rabbit, however,
is a notoriously short sleeper it
naps frequently, perhaps as
many as 20 - regularly - spaced
naps during every 24 hours. An
elephant usually sleeps but two
three hours at a time.
May Limit Waking Hours
During winter darkness, over
wintering birds may limit their
waking hours to sun-shiny hours
sleeping perhaps 18 hours at a
stretch, all fluffed up to retain
their body heat with heads
pointing into the wind to protect
their feathers; while in summer,
these same birds will rise and be
about their business by 3 a.m.
and keep awake with short naps
until 9 p.m., again, an 18-hour
interval.
The majority of animals ob
serve regular sleeping hours.
Most, like the mouse, sleep by
day and work by night. In labo
ratory experiments, a mouse
when subjected to artificial
lights and a 16-hour day of eight
hours light and eight hours dark
ness, soon adapted itself to this
foreshortened day: but when re
turned to the 24-hour day, it
slipped back into its old 24-hour
a day rhythm quickly.
By nature butterflies retire
earlyr even on a hot long sum
mer day, most will go to sleep
amid the grass by 6 o'clock. With
wings folded, the dull undercov
ering which closely resembles
most as much trouble. The
Browns suffered their second
loss in three starts when they
took a 21-9 whipping from the
New York Giants.
Only 30 points
In 1954 Cleveland had a 1-2
record at the start and went on
to sweep the Eastern division
and league titles. But the
Browns scored 69 points in their
first .three games that season,
while this year they have made
only 30, an all-time low for
Brown's fabulous club at this
stage in a campaign.
The Chicago Bears crushed"
the San Francisco Forty-Niners,
31-7 and the Green Bay Packers
defeated the Baltimore Colts. 38
33; while the Philadelphia Eag
les downed the Pittsburgh Steel
ers, 35 to 21 in Sunday's oth-
ler contests.

the surrounding foliage protects
them.
Many animals besides seals
may sleep in er on the water
The hippopotamus dozes in the
sun on the surface of his great
African rivers often with his
huge head pillowed on an oblig
ing neighbor's back.
Nap on Waves
While floating on the waves
gulls take naps. Sooty terns,
too. But by the very nature ol
their feathers, they are limited
to brief surface-riding naps
their feathers becoming water
logged quite quickly and they
are then unable to rise. Ducks
and swans often nap overnight
on the water but, alas, during
sudden cold snaps may be found
inextricably frozen in and, with
out help, they may perish.
In heavy snow ' country, the
ruffed grouse plunges into snow
drifts on the wing, overnighting
in his snug homemade igloo.
Other birds, in more hospitable
climes, may sleep below ground
in burrows as does the New
Zealand kiwi, only it sleeps dur
ing the day; and how some of
the puffins find their way
through dismal fogs from far out
at sea to their hidden burrows
after dusk remains, to me at
least, an everlasting mystery.
Like humans, many of the
higher mammals snore and quite
likely dream. Sleeping apes,
dogs, cats, elephants and horses
to name but a few utter
sounds and make disturbed
movements which in man, cer
tainly would indicate dreaming
and nightmares.
Blessed sleep, too, overtakes
an animal which is sick. When it
can find a hideaway it will sleep
until it regains its strength or
it does not waken thus dying
without pain, in the quitest and
best way possible. '

Bill Dellinger Shatters
Own 5,000 Meter Record
Berkeley, Calif. !U.R) The
finest of all U.S. Olympic games
teams, following a somewhat
disappointing track meet here
Saturday, today moved on to
Los Angeles to begin concen
trated training for the 1956
Melbourne Games in November.
"It was about what we ex
pected after a three months lay
off," said Coach Jim Kelly.
"We've got the time to work
with the team and we'll do
alright in Australia."
However, it was obvious that
some of the team's star perform
ers would have to really knuc
kle down at the little Olympic
village in Los Angeles, or else
fall victim to Kelly's pre-Satur-day
edict of "report to the camp
in condition" or else stand the
chance of being bumped by an
alternate who is in shape.
Most of Team Showed
Just about all the team mem
bers assembled here Saturday
for the competitive type meet.
There were some no-shows, for
varying reasons.
But of those who did show,
it was in the most part the guys
who finished third, or as the
alternate in the final trials at
Los Angeles last June, who
showed the best.
Typical was the 100-meter
dash where alternate sprinter
lithe Leamon King of California
won going away over Ira Mur
chison, second at Los Angeles,
and Bobby Murrow, the current
claimant to the fastest human

mm
role, in 10.3. Morrow, who said
he was "all out" in trying to
win, finished three strides back.
Another case in point was
in the pole vault where alter
nate Bob Gutowski wbn easily
at 14 feet, .8 inches.
There were some good marki
but primarily in the distances
and the weight events.
Don Bowden of California, a
third finisher in the 1500 meters
at Los Angeles, defeated the
trials' winner Jerome Walters
by 10 yards in 3:46.6 Bowden's
all time best and better than
Walters' winning time at Los
Angeles.
Bill Dellinger of Oregon,
America's hope in the long dis
tances, broke his own American
record of 14:26 in the 5,000 me
ters with an easy 14:25.5 win.
Parry O'Brien, although two
feet short of his own world
record, bettered the Olympic
record by three feet in taking
the shot put with a heave of
60 feet, 6 inches.
Al Certer's toss of 182 feet
5 inches in the discuss was near
ly two feet better than the Olym
pic standard.
Probably the most exciting
event of the day was the blanket
finish in the 800 meter run won
by Arnie Sowell of Pittsburgh
in 1:48.8, with Lang Stanley
and Lon Spurrier finishing a
yard back in 1:49. All three
bettered the existing Olympic
mark of 1:49.2 set by Mai Whit
field in 1948.
