Like Security Camp
By HAL WOOD
Squaw Valley, Calif.- (UPD -The
public laughed when one
California legislator suggested
that the Olympic area of
Squaw Valley be turned into
a minimum security camp
for first offenders after the
games are over.
But there is another laugh
going the rounds of the area
now.
"It's already a maximum
security camp," said one
wag.
Like Main Street
To get in and out of Squaw
Valley these days a man driv
ing a car is stopped oftener
than a heavily-traveled main
street full of traffic lights.
"I'm starting to believe
that it's harder to get into
Squaw Valley than it is to
get into Fort Knox," said
Walter Brown of Boston, a
high Olympic ice hockey offi
cial. "I was stopped many
times before I finally got
here. Then we were turned
off the road to a parking lot,
'where we had to pay SI for
parking and then walk to the
games area."

Brown laughed at the expe
rience he had in getting to an
important meeting but to
many visitors it is no laugh
ing matter.
Sometimes it takes up to 15
to 20 minutes to travel a mile
because patrolmen stop the
car, turn the driver over to
white helmeted Olympic
guards who inspect the cre
dentials, and then either
wave the man on-or turn him
back.
Police Complain, Too
"It's a silly system,' said
one patrolman. "We are doing
this because we were told to.
But so far as we're concerned
we d like to wave everyone
along.
"Here we are trying to help
the public but, man, you
should see the abuse we're
taking."
And to top it off, the final
warning, if a drive can get
his car right up close to the
games building, is that if you
don't move it within a cer
tain time, you car will be
towed away. And you'll get
the bill.

Squaw Valley, Calif.-flJPD-There
is news in the
Olympic Village nestled high
amid the snowcapped peaks
of the Sierra Nevada for the
fellow who wrote about , "a
young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love."
It doesn't have to be spring.
There are six-foot icicles
hanging from the eaves of the
buildings. The snow is up to
where you carry your wallet
in your hip pocket. And na
ture's sugary frosting shows
no signs of leaving the pow
dery premises.
But love among the Olym
pic athletes is - as usual - a
many splintered thing.
Even Have Guards
Olympic officials long have
been cognizant of the fact
that even among athletes
when boy meets girl the hor
mones start hopping and the
human alchemy involved
doesn't need the fresh breath
of spring. Thus rigid security
steps are taken to separate
and keep separated-the male
and the female of the muscu
lar species.
For this sliding and skid
ding spectacle, the women
and the men have separate
dormitories. Guards are post
ed at the entrances. Their
duty is to keep men out of the
women's section, and vice
versa, which may be a rather
more poignant phrase than

Gaels Keep
WCAC Lead
United Press International
If either Santa Clara or
Pepperdine wants to usurp
St. Mary's number one spot
in the West Coast Athletic
conference basketball race,
they will have to get the job
done themselves.
The Gaels have led the
loop through most of the
year, but many predicted
their time had come when
Santa Clara crushed them,
72-48. But St. Mary's shook
this loss off and has ' come
back to play sharp basketball
as witness the 79-55 thump
ing of COP on the latter's
court Tuesday night.
The win kept the Gaels
atop the loop with a 6-1 rec
ord and a 14-7 season mark.
Pepperdine and Santa Clara
are both 5-2 and a look at the
schedule shows St. Mary's
last two games are against
the Waves and Broncs.
New Celler-Dwellers
Things are popping at the
other end of the WCAC, also.
USF. upset winners over
Pepperdine and Santa Clara,
lost to San Jose State in over
time, 69-66. The win pulled
San Jose out of the loop cel
lar and put COP in.
Jordan Awaits
Exam Results
Los Angeles (UPD Welter
weight champion Don Jordan
today awaited the results of
a physical examintion that
could end his suspension by
the California athletic com
mission and allow him to de
fend his title before the NBA
takes it away from him.
Jordan, who is in a peck of
trouble for various and sun
dry peccadilloes, underwent
the examintaion Tuesday. But
Dr. Abraham Waxman, who
performed the tests on the 25-
year-old champion, said the
results wouldn't be available
until laboratory tests are
finished.
The slick punching welter
weight was ordered by the
National Boxing association
to furnish official proof of his
physical fitness by Friday or
forfeit the title he won in
1958 from St. Louis' Virgil

usual under the circum
stances. But they might as well try
to grow sugar cane on the
ski slopes.
For in one of the first inci
dents, one young lady was
seen skinning through the
rear window into the men's
dormitory.
"I guess," harumphed one
Olympic official when he
heard the report, "that our
security force is under
manned." Actually, they couldn't get
enough guards into this val
ley, appropriately named
"Squaw," to eliminate what
cames naturally.
First of all, there is a cer
tain camp following in any
sport. Baseball has it with an
adoring set known as "Bull
Pen Berthas." In golf, the
members of the fair set who
trek to all the tournaments
are known as "Sand Trap
Sallies."
In skiing, this feminine
supporting cast which makes
the whole circuit from Ver
mont to Sun Valley to Aspen
is a group known as "Snow
Bunnies."
Maintaining complete
Olympic amateurism always
is a problem to the harried
international fathers. At Mel
bourne during the 1956 Olym
pic Games, the women's vil
lage was surrounded by an
eight foot high wire fence and
the gates were guarded by the
Australian army. So what
happened?
One guy pole-vaulted over
the fence. Another group
tunneled under the fence.
Two weight lifters padded
their jersies in the appropri
ate places, covered their
heads with babushkas and
simpered their way past the
goggle-eyed guards.
But the rush really was on
when some character finally
came up with a pair of effi
cient wire clippers.

A similar three-way tie for
the Southwest conference
lead was produced when
Texas shocked Texas A&M,
79-62, and Southern Metho

left Texas sharing first place
with the Aggies and SMU,
each boasting 7-2 league

The Common Mullet
Has Many Guessing
The poor" fish is justifed in
being frustrated, befuddled
and confused. Think how he
must feel knowing that near
ly every fisherman and ev
eryone else who is even re
motely acquainted with him
argues constantly at to wheth
er he is a fish or a fowl or
if he will ever become des
perate enough to bite a bait
ed hook.
It's enough to give any fish
a bad case of the jitters. Per
haps the mullet really has
reached that stage; that may
be.why he keeps jumping out
of the water. He is probably
nervous.
. Sometimes the more com
mon a thing is, the less there
is known about it; for ex
ample the mullet-one of the
most common of marine fish
es. Hundreds of tons of them
have been sold; tons have
been smoked. Many people
who live near waters where
this fish is plentiful know
more about how its flesh
tastes than how the fish lives.
In many sections of the gulf
states the mullet is the most
important food fish. Served
with grits, it is a staple food.
More Fowl Than Fish
Even those fishermen who
have spent the better part of
their lives catching these fish,
maintain the mullett has a
gizzard and are therefore
more fowl than fish. Probably
the reason why such a belief
started was the discovery that
the fish ate nothing but vege
tation and would never bite
on a hook. Of course a bird,
who does have a gizzard,
would have no use for an
air-bladder such as a mullet
possesses. Neither would a
mullet have any use for a
gizzard.
When he begins life in the
sea the baby mullet eats other
things besides vegetation, but
as he develops, his system and
his appetite undergo a
change. He becomes a true
vegetarian. The internal
change, which comes with ad
vancing growth, lengthens i
the intestines and causes it to j
become convoluted or coiled, i
It has to coil because of the
lack of inner room. As it I
grows longer it demands dif
ferent food-grass and ptent
life, and algae of various
kinds. But it does not have a

eizzard. Gizzards are desiened '
by Nature to grind up a very
different kind of food-grains
and seeds, or small animal
matter contained in sand.
Another unusual fact about
this common fish is its reluc
tance to bite a hook.
Hungry or. Angry
Regardless of the species of J
fish concerned, they are
caught on a hook and line
only because the hook is bait
ed with the kind of bait the
fish prefers, and of course if
the fish is hungry or angry.
Some individuals claim this
fish will never bite. Others
say they will and the argu
ment goes on. The latter
"school" seems to be in the
minority.
The mullet is a grazing ani
mal, feeding along the ocean
bottom like a cow in a marine
pasture. The mouth is adapt
ed to this method of feeding.
From time to time the fish
rushes to the surface and
leaps out of the water.
Some say the mullet jumps
because he is nervous; other
maintain the fish is "just
quick." But down there
where the mullet lives, are
others that like mullet-meat.
Probably he jumps to escape.
Anyone or anything jumps
when something is after it. He
that jumps the quickest and
forthest has a better chance
to jump another day.
