Panther Sports
By DAN CASEY
FOREST PARK WINS OVER N.
CLAYTON; LOSE TO CENTRAL
Forest Park High's Panthers
and Pantherettes won over
North Clayton here last Tuesday.
The girls won over North Clay
ton 50-20 as Gail Thomas hit
for 26 points. Karen Smith
scored 11, Pat Witherow 6, and
Joanne Bennett 7.
Forest Park found that the
North Clayton girls were easy
targets. A fine defensive game
was played by Billie Lumpkin,
Mary Nell Carbo and Paulette
Addis.
Forest Park boys got off to a
frightful start as North Clayton
led throughout the first quarter,
but Forest Park got a one point
lead, before the buzzer sounded
for the half.
Forest Park's Pasco Tilson hit
for 23 points, Randy Smith hit
for 11, Hugh Gibbon 10, Billy
Loving 3, and Doug Butler 2.
Forest Park won 49-35.
Last Friday night, the Pan
thers rode 60 miles to Bowdon,
Georgia to lose a double-header
regional game. The Panthers
were expected to win, but due
to .the long tiresome ride Forest
Park’s games were lost to Cen
tral Carroll.
The Pantherettes lost by a
handy margin of 6 points. Gail
Thomas scored 18, Judy Knowles
15, and Karen Smith scored 8.

The Capitol building at Oklahoma City is remarkable for two
reasons. (1) because it has no dome and (2) it is built right
over a huge petroleum pool. Oil is pumped from directly
underneath the building. The State Historical Building is
nearby and houses Indian archives second only to those in
the Smithsonian Institution. Oklahoma City is particularly
interesting to visit, and oil derricks can be seen crowding the
domeless Capitol.

THE FOREST PARK FREE PRESS—NEWS AND FARMER
... VTZ /\ _ __ CohiuchT 1959
with JOHN MARTIN
"SKY-WRITERS" OF BOOGER BOTTOM
The bird clubbers and con
servationists who might be con
cerned about the future of the
mourning dove may now dry
their weeping towels. This un
reserved assurance comes from a
small group of recent standees
on a last-day of the season
“shoot”.
This shoot was over a corn
field of some 125 acres being
“used” by over 100 head of Here
ford cattle. It offered a more
generous serving of golden grain
than any purposely baited field
ever raided by the Feds. The
most ravenous of birds could
have been surfeited without
stretching its neck. Piles of
waste grain littered the area.
The invitation to Booger
Bottom carried the stipulation
that there would be no shoot
ing in a pasture adjacent to the
cornfield. The report from an
observer was that over 500, and
maybe a thousand birds, were
feeding there. Sq the main prob
lem was to round up enough guns
to properly cover the shooting
area.
On such short notice this was
impossible, but a few guns were
better than none. At least, this
was the assumption. And nor
mally several limits would have
been fairly easily bagged. But
the Booger Bottom birds were
not just ordinary doves. When
they came over the field they
were just 10 yards too high to
tempt the “sky-busters,” and
even “sky-busters” will try for
80 - yard shots. Once over
the narrow dirt road that
separated the field from the
pasture, the birds would sud
denly put on brakes and power
' dive into the pasture. With what
। seemed to be uncanny reasoning,
I they floated lazily in large
droves, or swarms, among the
cattle. Frequently small flocks
would break off and swing over
the gun-protected expanse. But
each time they were too high,
even for Harris Moody’s 10 gauge
Magnum loads. It had the ap
pearance of planned taunting.

Over the fence was out for the
hunters, and over the fence was
safe for the doves. You’ll never
convince our desperate contin
gent that doves can’t read fence
post signs from the stratosphere.
The birds over Booger Bottom
on the last day of the season
proved the dove has every inten
tion of surviving, notwithstand
ing bait, game hogs and out-of
season shooting. If they hold
their present IQ, a lot of doves
will never fall to the gun. Cer
tainly not the master strategists
of Booger Bottom.
New York’s big boat show,
which signals the start of the
buying season this year, left the
impression that 1961 will offset
the industry’s 1960 setbacks. The
general economic feeling finds
buyers shopping hard for values
and more common sense in boats.
Other observations: Strong re
surgence in aluminum boats;
demand for more simplicity in
design; swing back to more mod
est horse power, based on dollars
and cents.
A notable gain is predicted
for the day cruiser boat, for the
use of the whole family. There
also is evidence of more interest
in plywood and lapstrake boats.
It is safe to say that customers
will be looking for price, first,
then for quality and simplicity.

BOWLING TIP OF THE WEEK:
Lane etiquette and sportsman
ship go hand in hand in all
forms of sport. In the game of
bowling a code of etiquette has
been established and has been
accepted by bowlers everywhere.
Below are a few of the major
“unwritten rules”.
1. Never start your approach
when players on either side
of you appear they are going
to start. The player on the
right has the right-of-way.
2. Stay on your own approach.
3. Step back off the approach
after making each delivery.
The fellows on adjoining
lanes want to bowl, too.
4. Bench talk is all right to rat
tle the opposition, but con
fine it to the bench. When a
player is in position to bowl,
give him the courtesy to
make his shot without inter
[ ference.
; 5. Play the game to win, but be
; I a gracious loser.
