It was the same way with Larry Fagan, our city editor, and Fred Landucci, the first lieutenant in the sports department. They wanted to fish, and we couldn't bring a trout stream into the office, so we organized a journalistic caravan and headed for the tall timber and the rushing brook. And therein lies a story, for Larry always had the idea that a hook was something they used on the stage to haul By LESTER BIEDEKMAN Pitt kept its books clean in varsity sports against Penn State for the present collegiate season yesterday at the Stadium track, by nosing out the Lions in a red-hot dual meet, 70 to 65, but lost the freshman encounter, 76 to 59. The varsity battle was closely contested and not until the results of some of the last events on the program were tabu lated, could it be assured that the Rod and Reel 1 1 I f-W1 i 1 i I 4 9 ii in i. ii I Titfs varsity track team beat Penn State, 70-65, yesterday at the Stadium while the Panther yearlings dropped a dual meet to the State Frosh.

Pirates Trip Cincinnati Continued from Page 1) to his neck, which is plenty of trouble. Cuyler and Thevenow singled, Chapman moved them along with an infield out and Herman scored Cuyler with a long fly to Jensen. A pass to Lombardi, Riggs' double and McQuInn's single gave rise to the tear that Jim might never get the side out. but Padden finally succeeded in picking Riggs off third for the last out. Weaver Routed in Fifth A base on balls to Vaughan, Suhr's single and Brubaker's infield tap gave the Pirates one in the second and they added another in the fourth when Vaughan and Young teamed up with doubles.

Weaver's balloon went up in the fifth. He walked Thevenow and Chapman clicked a rousing triple t' right. That was all for Big Jim, and the job was turned over to Mace Brown, whose luck was indifferent. Mace walked Herman and was nicked for hits by Lombardi and McQuinn to bring in two more runs. The finai game will be played today.

The Pirates can't lose the series, having taken the first two, but they won't complain if they make it a sweep.

They have formed the Sheraden Elks Rifle Association and plan an active member Panthers had won.

Several races were fought right down to the finish, with just a little streak of daylight separating the first two boys. Carl Groat. Pitt half-miler, outdistanced Howard Downey, Penn State, in the 880, a grand race, that found the Panther with about one-yard extra stamina in the sprint. There was a little mixup in the finish of the 100-yard dash. Mason of Pitt won first place, but the next two positions had to be argued about.

Bauer, State, was finally awarded second and Spitz, Pitt, got third. Mason's time of 9.9 seconds, was very creditable. He also repeated in the 220-yard dash, cov ering the distance in 22.7 seconds. Bauer, State, was high point scorer, chalking up first places in both hurdles and taking down second in the century. Bill Woodruff, star colored Freshman middle distance runner, who won both the 880 and the mile, attracted the attention of the large crowd by the easy manner in which he race around the track and clearly outsped his field.

He was just a few seconds under the varsity markj in both races. The summaries: VARSITY TRACK VA FNTS 100-yard dash Won by Masnn. Pitt; Bauer, state, second; Spitz, I'm, third. Xinv "JO-vani dash Wnn by Mason, Pitti Connelly. Put.

Pitt's football varsity the squad that will uphold the Blue and Gold through a tough schedule next fall gave the old grads a taste of the finer things in life for a short first period yesterday at the Stadium, then clamped down and bore straight ahead with both barrels to hang up a 47-6 triumph, while some 2500 spectators howled, and cheered. The afternoon was warm and the alumni couldn't take it very much after the opening quarter.

The Grads stuck by their guns for the better part of the second quarter, but as the game wore on, the finely conditioned collegians poured it on in thick doses. Two freshmen, appearing in the varsity lineup, gave the fans something to stand up and cheer about and the two lads are going to help Pitt plenty in the fall. Fabian Hoffman at right end, and Marshall Goldberg, halfback, were the boys unfolded before Pitt fans for the first time. They've got it. The alumni showed a combination of stars that would make any pro team in the country look good.

There were something like five or six former all-Americas prancing on the Stadium turf and many others of almost equal skill who saw action. The grads whipped over the first touchdown early in period one. Frank Patrick's placement attempt from the 28-yard stripe was short and wide. It landed in the end zone and Heinie Wiesenbauch scooped up the ball, and raced 72 yards before he was hauled down. On the next play, Dick Matesic fired a strike to Halfback Hub Randour near the goal line, which resulted in a touchdown.

Bob Hogan missed the extra point. The first period ended with the alumni out front, 6-0, but in the second quarter, an intercepted pa-ss gave the varsity the ball near mid-field. Goldberg ripped off 18 yards and Patrick ran 25 for the first score. He converted the seventh point and the game was settled then and there. Paul Shaw, varsity end, hurled his body in front of two punts soon after the third quarter opened, and both times touchdowns resulted.

On the first occasion, Matisi carried the ball across and Patrick ran the other one over. Patrick made the first extra point, missed the second. Mike Sebastian offered interference to Shaw when he leaped to catch a pass near the goal line and the ball went to the varsity on the 1. Larue lugged it over the last line and Patrick made good again, bringing the score to 27-6. Mid-way through the final quarter, Stapulis intercepted a pass and a few plays later rifled a toss to Stebbins for a touchdown.

Howdy O'Dell tried a punt and it was blocked, going high into the air and falling into the outstretched arms of Schmidt, who raced 15 yards for a score. Cambal kicked the extra point. By LESTER BIE-DERMAN. Mr. Scaife's Blue Ridge will be shown in nine classes.

A Strange Guide! Larry was particularly impressed as well as amused by one of the long-tailed pheasants which insisted on accompanying us on our rounds over the preserve, strutting ahead like a playful pup, cackling his pleasure, seemingly, at being our guide. He promised the bird a job as a police reporter if he'd learn to write. We leave with regret, unable to take advantace of Mr.

Stackpole's further hospitality and on again towards our ultimate destination, "Bill" Munsell's camp in the wilds north of Emporium. Ridse after ridge came into view as we wound our way down the long drop to West Creek, the visitor enjoying the mile after mile of beautiful scenery, the mountainsides dotted, here and there, with the white blossoms of the June berry, adding life to the otherwise somber and delicate tints of ha fnracf -lir lill rnminir i It lifp. We pulled in at Bills tonsonal parlor, picked up the key and head- ed for the backwoods to begin the great adventure.

All he needed was an elephant gun and we could have gone to Africa. When he donned the fishing jacket he thought he had been gypped. When we explained that Jackets were purposely built close to the shoulders to keep its contents out of waters, he groaned. I -You've got another guess coming if you think I'm going into water up to there," he exclaimed. The Great Adventure! We finally succeeded in getting the boys rigged up.

While the gang lounged on the porch, Harry flung a skillet on the stove and began preparations for our first meal in camp.

Hamburger, fried spuds, several side dishes and dessert. An hour later we had to drag Larry away from the table to keep him from foundering. Harry ducked out of sight for fear Freddie would tackle him next. Bov, how those fellows could eat! Then Larry cleared the table, the writer washed the dishes and Freddie dried them.

After breakfast the boys were contented to tilt the chairs back against the cabin and take it easy, the activities of the previous days leaving their marks. The hard-boiled city editor suddenly went soft while the others amused themselves at his expense. We threatened to use one of the snapshots as art for today's article and were threatened with murder in return, so we decided to let it be as is.

The rushing waters had filled in a solid bank of gravel in front of the permitting Harry to drive to the door, whereas in the past he was compelled to leave his car parked on the opposite side. Larry 'Hooks' One On the return trip to camp we stopped long enough to wet lines and cast a few flies on the "Big" stream, the Driftwood Branch. Just above the mouth of Sterling Run one of the natives had hooked and landed a brown trout, 19 'i inches long. An old residenter which had been hooked by many of the natives but none were ever lucky enough to creel him.

We'd have willingly given half the contents of our tackle box to have Larry hook into one of those whoppers which inhabit this stream and only a short time later we saw visions of where we might have lost them. He had been fishing a rather deep pool below a boulder when we heard an awful commotion. We saw Larry yank with such vic-iousness that he almost lost his balance, almost sitting down in the stream. "I got 'im! I got 'im!" he joyously yelled. Proudly he held up for inspection the wiggling fish, dangling from the end of his line.

H. CITY Several of the boys have in mind a small nflo ranee in a rather restricted quarter, whih will make necessary a contrivance of some kind to catch the bullets. We intend worknur with caliber rifles. Can you suggest anything which may be of help? There are several "traps" on the market which will answer your purpose. X-King centrifugal traps are.

probably. best known. They are a iinnel-mottthed contrivance which leads the bullet into a centirfugal chamber, spinning the bullet round and round until its energy is exhausted, which then drops harmlessly into a detachable metal container. The bullet cannot escape. The current issue of the American Rifleman mentions a metal bullet trap for caliber backstop purposes which is much lower than the usual price.

The contraption is 3. inches lone and the opening of its fnqnel is IS inches square, which tapers to rectangular backend about inches square. A short leg under the funnel permits resting or fastening it on a small flat surface, like a table, bench or large box. Small hooks in the roof of the funnel hold the target. A steel splash plate Mi-inch thick is hinged at the roof of the rear-end on a cross rod.

A 6-inch room behind this swinging trap plate holds the spent bullet. The scrap lead is removed by unbolting the flat back cover. In experiments the trap was fonnd to be safe in that it returned no bullets toward the firing line. However, it is cautioned, it will not do to set it up in a clean room, because of leakage of lead dust and small particles aronnd the rear cover. Occasionally the bieger chunks of lead were spilled on the floor In front of the trap but were of insufficient velocity to do any harm beyond soiling the floor.

The latter contrivance is marketed by one of the large mail order houses. K. SHARON With Jar C. Gilford transferred to another section can you tell me who his successor is in this terii'ory Hart T. Enslert.
