THE COIRIERJOLRNAL, 'LOUISVILLE. SUNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 21, 1961 SPUR SECTION 2 FEATURES 1 Ellis Will Fight Rory Calhoun i At Armory Here On January 11 WW- better days. He still may be, though, a test for a guy with just six fights. Calhoun has won 45 fights, lost 14 and has drawn in two.

He stopped 21 opponents and has been stopped twice himself. He has won two and lost four this year. Calhoun has fought some of the upper bracket men of their time Spider Webb, Bobby Boyd, Giardello, etc. Now campaigning as a light-heavyweight, Calhoun has agreed to a 165 pound weight limit for the Armory bout. Promoter King said he chose the date and the site because of the Mobile Home Convention.

This event will be at the State fairgrounds. It may attract around 6,000 visitors, he said. He hopes to get some of these to the Armory battle. By LARRY BOECK Now Rory Calhoun is next for James After that Cassius Clay? Promoter Bill King announced yesterday that the veteran Calhoun will fight rising prospect Ellis at the Armory here on January 11. Then, Ellis is ready, willing and able to take on Clay, says Manager Bud Bruner.

"They don't have to look any further to get a guy to test Clay," commented Bruner. "The only guy Clay fears is in his hometown and he's only a middleweight. That's Ellis. "So, we're willing to fight him with the loser's purse going to charity." Louisvillian Clay, No. 9 ranked heavyweight, fought fellow townsman Ellis twice when both were amateurs.

Clay beat Ellis and Ellis beat Clay. Speed, said Bruner, is what Clay fears. And Ellis has plenty of speed. Ellis, sporting a 5-1 record, gets the chance to use that speed against Calhoun, eight-year veteran of the pro ranks. Once a leading middleweight, Calhoun now looks back at The Courier Sports in a Winter Woods Good Place To Explore By Bl'RT MONROE A leisurely stroll through the winter woods at Christmas time can be most rewarding.

From the trails along the quiet, frozen creeks: among the snow-covered bushes; and beneath the bleak, barren trees, winter walkers can pick up gems of outdoor knowledge. Even though there isn't much wildlife about at the moment, the Christmas botany, for instance, makes an interesting study. First, there is the Christmas tree. The kind of tree generally used depends often on the available local supply. Cedars are cut and in pine country, pine trees are the prevailing type.

Many Christmas trees are spruce. And those which are not found in local woodlots include the famous Douglas fir imported from the Northwest. When the walker strolls among these growing trees, he may reflect upon the fact that in 1960, Christmas tree usage was trees. Approximately four out of every five homes used one. One of the ancient mysteries of the Christmas season is when the first tree was used for this purpose.

It it reported to have started in Germany in the 8th Century and has been passed as a tradition from generation to generation. Mistletoe is another feature of the winter woods which has a special charm during the Vuletide season. It grows on trees, preferably members of the pine family but also on sycamore and oak, as a parasite and in some places Australia, for example it has become a major pest. The seeds of this plant are given a wide range by the many species of birds, such as the crow, robin, bluebird, hermit thrush and cedar waxwing, that feed on the white berries. t' mi al I' FA 1, I' It Kompact of Mar-Lar, smooth dachshund owned and handled by Larry Krebs, receives best-of-breed award in the Alabama specialty show from Judge Dorothy Horswell, who gave the rare verdict: "I cannot fault her." ieWwm i' 2 Keiitiickianians Mop Up i rv oi ii'i ai iioi snows in Aiaoama 1 Ellis, says Manager Bruner, could come in at 170 pounds if a fight with Clay materializes.

Clay might weigh about 10. Offhand, there appears little chance of an Ellis-Clay bout. Clay would have everything to lose and nothing to gain. While such a bout is most uncertain, this much is certainj Ellis right now looks like a topflight prospect. ii i ii A lit Bowling Marks Set Last Season Look Bigger Now By KEN RUSH Thoughts at Christmas time about Louisville area bowling.

Wonder if Santa's pack contains any scores approaching records set during last winter's tenpin blitz here? With scoring comparatively tame this season, some of those 1960-61 exploits are looking bigger all the time. The seeds are sticky and they cling to the bill of the feeding bird. Later the bird will clean its bill by rubbing it against the bark of a tree. The seed sticks to the bark, later to put out a tap root to draw food from the tree's sap.

Among them were such Holly is also one of the older Christmas plants. This evergreen, however, has become threatened with extinction in many places and it is one of the rarer sights in Kentucky woods.

Its bright red and shiny berries also furnish food for many types of birds. The list of species of wildlife that use the fruit of holly is an impressive one. Many songbirds, particularly the thrushes, mockingbird, robin, bluebird, flicker, cedar waxwing, towhee, pileated woodpecker, brown thrasher, and white-throated sparrow, feed on it extensively. Black ducks, mourning dove, ruffed grouse, bobwhite quail and wild turkey are among the achievements as Cecil Cole By LEW SHARPLEY Two gentlemen from the Louisville area Joe Gregory of Valley Station, and Larry Krebs, of New Albany, Ind. descended upon Birmingham and annexed the top honors in two dog shows.

Krebs showed his 11-month-old Kompact of Mar-Lar to best of breed in the 10th, Alabama Dachshund Club specialty show. Kompact, a smoothie bred, owned and handled by the New Albanian, went all the way to the top from the bred-by-exhibitor class, defeating 47 others, including 12 champions. The win also earned five points toward the 15 required for championship. Like mother, like daughter. It was an unprecedented performance, for Kompact was duplicating her mother's victory in the same show two years before.

Mama Champion Siba of Mar-Lar, also a homebred owned and shown by Larry took five points and went all the way to best of breed, from the classes, in the 1959 Birmingham specialty.

Tourney leaders are hoping for a field of 1,000 teams. They have until February 1, the entry deadline, to achieve that figure. CO LLEG BUS I ESS The National Association of Inter-collegiatic Athletics (N.A.I.A.) composed of smaller colleges over the country, has added bowling to its list of sports ami is planning its first national intercollegiate tournament this coming spring. With all the howling now going on at Kentucky colleges, has anyone thought of a STATE intercollegiate tourney? STRIKES SPARES A I Devereaux, a Louisville bowl-er for more than 25 years, is one of the quietest guys you've ever seen. So it took a while to find out that his recent 701 scries at Thelmal Lanes was only his second 700.

The other was a 722 in a league at Fifth Avenue Recreation in 1949. His current average is over 190. Surprising are the number of "commuters" who bowl in Louisville leagues.

The individual five -game record has been broken twice there this season, most recently by young Al Kaelin with a mammoth 1203. THE NEW YEAR Bill King, the impresario of fights and other events held at the State Fairgrounds, says a regulation bowling alley again will be installed (for exhibitions and instruction) at the annual Sports Show February 10-18. Lou Frantz, heading this phase of the show, expects to bring By LARRY BOECK There aren't any fiercer high school rivalries in the Commonwealth than the St.

Xavier-Flaget athletic feud. Two products of the school return to Louisville, however, as team-males. Senior Eddie Schnurr of St. Xavier and sophomore Tom Finnegan of Flaget are on the Notre Dame team that seeks to beat a Kentucky aggregation here Saturday U.K. Kentucky's Wildcats, meanwhile, contribute to the irony of things by owning a former Flaget team-mate of Finnegan sophomore Ted Deeken.

Neither Finnegan nor Deeken are expected to see much action in the 8 p.m. State Fairgrounds game that may attract a full house of around 18,000. Schnurr, though, probably will start for the Fighting Irish. A six-foot guard, the boyish looking Schnurr got off to a slow start. He was in-and-out of the lineup, but apparently broke out of his slump when he scored 18 points against Michigan State.

Then he got the flu and, although he played, and it usually was oak. It was cut to fit the fireplace and it burned for a long, long time. Now, however, great oaks are rare. Just about all coniferous trees enter the Christmas picture. Evergreen boughs for decorations, wreaths, door sprays, roping and other items total approximately 12 million pounds annually.

Scotch pine boughs, the product of forest improvement thinnings, are the most commonly used. Christmas decorations in homes, on doors, or around the fireplaces have long been considered as "ornaments" steeped in ageless tradition. These same decorations in their untouched and natural habitats lose none of this ornamental value. They both add much to the holiday season. Time Marches On As the year 1961 draws to a close, many persons will agree that time flies.

Most persons will wish that the years would go by at a "snail's pace" but actually very few of these people would really know how fast that was. In experiments by scientists at the Chicago Natural History Museum, it was determined that the slowest snail travelled about 30 inches an hour and the fastest about 100 feet an hour. The average recorded speeds of 16 kinds of North American land snails is about 3.5 feet an hour. By comparison, a turtle moves at about a tenth of a mile an hour and a snake at about two miles an hour. Among the mammals, a presumably lumbering elephant can get going to 25 miles an hour and the average house cat can do just about 30.

A gray fox can run about as fast as a greyhound at 40 miles per hour; a jack rabbit can reach 45; an ostrich can do 50; a gazelle reaches 50; and a cheetah tops them all at 65 miles an hour. In the air, a peregrine falcon may do 175 miles per hour in a dive and the golden eagle has been recorded at 120 under the same conditions. A canvasback duck, considered the fastest ciacnsnund textbook, commented on Kompact: "I cannot fault her." A rare compliment, indeed! The following day, in the Birmingham all-breed show, Gregory handled one of his string of boxer champions, Copper Gentleman, to best in show Copper's sixth such victory, plus 14 specialty-show "bests," 40 awards of first in working groups and some 80 best-of-breed citations. Gregory also piloted a young female boxer, X-Scls Petite Coquette, owned by Dr. and Mrs.

L. X. Brown of Williamsburg, to two points-running her total to nearly a dozen. A Louisville Boston terrier, Newlons' Devillish Delia, owned by Dr. and Mrs.

Merle C. New-Ion and handled by Gregory, took a three-pointer her third major win. A Louisville smooth dachshund, Casevvay Sharon O'Neal, owned by Mrs. George Meagher and handled by Clint Harris, took one point and best of winners at both Birmingham and Gambier, Ohio. he didn't start.

Me plays the guard who directs the Notre Dame 1-3 1 offense. His game against Michigan State, said Coach Johnny Jordan, was a great one. Finnegan, a 6-2 Vi guard, started Notre Dame's first game after sparkling in practice.

He has seen limited activity since because, says Jordan, he's suffering from "sopho "He looks great in practice," said Jordan of Finnegan. But, added the personable coach, the Louisvillian gets nervous in games. So apparently he's getting a bit of time to settle down. Deeken hasn't played much at Kentucky. Coach Adolph Rupp is high on him, though, and he may be worked into the lineup more liberally when the opportunity arises.

Notre Dame has a 3 3 record. "We've been playing nothing but the good ones," commented Jordan. The Irish opened with a 71-52 home conquest of Bellarmine. Then the Irish edged Northwestern .5958 in an overtime at South Bend. On the road, Notre Dame lost 73 71 to Creighton and Nebraska 65-61 before beating Michigan State 73 72.
