The big right-hander, who won 179 'games for the Braves, says restoring the spitball would bring back the .300 hitter.

Burdette, now the minor league pitching coach for the expansion Montreal Expos, said, "That's right, if they would legalize the spitter again major league baseball would nave more .300 hitters again. "You let the batters know they might have to hit at the spitter, they'll quit taking those slim bats at the end and trying to hit everything out of the park, park. "They'll get out those old bigger, heavier bats and will start punching to all fields again. That's what makes .300 hitters Badgers 200 200 R'edfegs 023 200 M. Steinke.

Jack, son of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Engsberg, received the award and a $100 scholarship at the school's annual alumni banquet. The presentations were made by Gene Mason, L- Cal basketball coach. Engsberg earned nine major letters in his high school in football, two in basketball and four in track.

He was co-captain in basketball and most valuable in track the last two seasons. He holds L-Cat records in the pole vault, high hurdles, low hurdles and long jump. In addition, he made it to the WIAA state meet this spring in the low "hurdles and pole vault. Along svith his athletic activities, which were almost ruined this year by a dislocated hip last football season, Engsberg was vice president of the senior class, president of the L-Cat club and a member of the National Honor Society. Burdette, just voted the Braves' greatest right-handed pitcher of all time in a poll of fans, said he never really did well with the spitter.

"I had the greatest psychological spitter of all time. "I confess I tried to throw it after Birdie Tebbetts complained about it when he was at Warren Giles (the National League president) gave me a clean bill of health after conferring with all his umpires. "After Mr. Giles said I didn't throw it, I they always seemed to hit it on the dry side," Burdette observed wryly. But Burdette said the spitball still had its advantages for him.

"All I had to do was have one of the first three hitters go back to the bench complaining that I was throwing a spitter and I had them in the palm of hand." Burdette added that the spitball "was a seed that grew for me. The implication was that if that so-and-so didn't use the spitler and wasn't cheating, they could knock me all over the ball park. By DICK KLOPPENBURG Record-Herald WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) Research has helped mari conquer disease, create a button world of convenience and reveal answers to many of nature's mysteries. Research has also helped the hunter and fisherman through the development and management techniques which put game and fish in the bag despite the pressures of an ever- increasing population.

One of the oldest current research studies in Wisconsin is the Northern Highland Research Project being carried on in Vilas County. Project manager James J. Kempinger, a biologist with the Conservation Division of the Department of Natural Resources, said a request from Vilas County sportsmen provided the impetus to the fisheries research program which was initiated in 1946. They asked the Conservation Division to open five lakes in the Northern Highlands State Forest to fishing with both lib-' eral size and bag limits in effect. The objective was to find out what effect the liberal regulations would have on the fish population whether the fish would maintain their numbers or be depleted and require' stocking.

The lakes are Escanaba, Pallette, Nebish, Spruce and Mystery. All are set in heavily forested wilderness surroundings on state-owned land. Of interest to the Conservation Division was the opportunity to discover how many fish were being taken in terms of poundage and numbers with the liberal rules. A compulsory creel census was established and the lakes were opened to year-round fishing. Fishing was and still ii by permit only.

A checking station at Escanaba Lake distributes the free permits for all five lakes. Other experiments were added to the original creel census. A 10-year record of the "fisH caught showed the liberal regulations had no effect on fish populations. An attempt to create good fishing by closing a lake to fishermen was made on Spruce Lake. All angling was prohibited from 1951-53.

In 1954, when the 17-acre lake was opened to sportsmen once again, fishing was good for a two week period and then a creel census showed the average number of fish taken per hour was exactly the same as the period from 1946-50, when the lake was open to fishing 'under liberal bag regulations. Spear fishing was allowed on Nebish Lake to test the theory that spear fishing could decimate a fish population. Records show spear fishermen captured fish at exactly the same rate as hook and line fishermen. Walleyes were introduced to Nebish Lake in 1957 to test the effect of fin. removal on fish.

Fins are often removed to differentiate fish plants in a body of water. Follow-up studies showed no difference in survival and growth between marked and unmarked fish. The lake was chemically treated in 1966 and is now being managed for small- mouth bass and perch. Splake. a fast-growing hybrid cross between female lake trout and male brook trout, were introduced to Pallette Lake, the deepest of the five project lakes, in hopes they would utilize a good cisco population for food.

Creel census figures showed 95 per cent of the fish caught on Pallette Lake were taken in a three week period each fall when the cisco come out of the depths to spawn. Coho salmon have been put into Pallette Lake and their numbers will be closely stidied. Escanaba Lake is the largest (290 acres) and most productive lake under study in the project. It is known as a good walleye lake to many anglers, but the lake did not always have that reputation. In 1946.

eight years after walleyes were first planted, a good natural hatch occurred and the fish have been well established since. Smallmouths, however, have nearly disappeared, leading fisheries biologists to believe they were unable to compete with walleyes. The effect walleyes have had on Escanaba perch is evident by the fact some 15,700 perch were taken in the late 1950's, but the catch dropped off to 110 in 1967. Evaluations of project data has shown stocking walleyes produces negligible results. Fingerling plants were unable to accomplish what a good natural hatch can for the fishery.

Northern pike migrated to Escanaba from Mystery Lake in 1946. In 1964, a 22-inch size regulation was imposed to determine its effect on the fishery. Biologists thought the number of fish taken would decrease, but the poundage would In four years, the declined 90 per cent in numbers and 83 per cent in an undesirable effect. Many of the studies underway or already completed as part of this research project have been financed by the Dingell-Johnson Bill. D-J funds are provided by a federal tax on fishing equipment which is apportioned to states for use as each' sees fit in fisheries programs.

With state funds also available, the Northern Highlands Research Project will continue to provide answers to many questions for fish biologists. This data will then be translated into better management techniques to provide better fishing. a es EL-RA 3-MAN CLASSIC High Scores Team Senators, 2,232 and 617.
