Julius Erv-ing didn't, either. In fact, nobody ever scored 135 points in one game-except Danny Heater. Danny was a skinny, crewcut West Virginia schoolboy in 1960 when he set what the Basketball Hall of Fame says is the all-time single-game scoring record on any level of organized play. Now he's 35, his crewcut and skinny physique long gone. He stopped playing years ago without achieving either the fleeting fame of college recordholder Rio Grande's lengendary Bevo Francis, or the fortune of pro scoring champ Chamberlain.

Instead, he lives in this quiet Washington suburb with his wife and three children and works as a ticket clerk for an airline. He has been out of work for two months with a bad back. On the 17th anniversary of the record-breaking night, both he and the coach who planned the scoring barrage remember it well. The date: Jan. 26, 1960.

Heater's Burnsville team was in the middle of a 22-game winning streak as it met nearby Widen High that night. Together, the towns of Burnsville and Widen had about 2,000 residents in 1960. Neither regional school had more than 500 students. Coach Jack Stalnaker, now an assistant principal at Marshall Junior High in Marshall, Va had hoped to attract college scouts for the 6-foot-l Heater by having him break the state record of 74 points. "Burnsville is so small that the team never got the publicity," Stalnaker said in telephone interview.

"Danny deserved to play at a major college. But without a scholarship, there was no way he could afford school." With 10 minutes left in the 32 minute game, Heater had broken the West Virginia record and wanted to come out. But his teammates pushed him to go for the national record of 120 points set by an Ohio schoolboy in 1953. "I wasn't really that great a scorer and didn't even want to go for the record," Heater said. "But the guys kept urging me on and everything seemed to go in." In the final 10 minutes, Heater scored 55 more points on a variety of shots, including three left-handed hooks from beyond the foul line.

He even scored four points in four seconds on two consecutive inbounds passes. "The same kid threw the ball in both times I intercepted the pass," Heater recalled. "After the second time, he stopped and handed the ball to a teammate, saying 'Here, you try it. I don't seem to be having any At the end, Heater's statistics read like a typographical error: 53-29-135. He had missed only 17 of 70 shots from the field and 12 of 41 from the foul line.

The final score was Burnsville 173, Widen 43. "It was like a dream," he said. "A lot of people have joked that the other team must not have shown up or had to be midgets. But they really weren't that bad." When the game story reached Charleston, about 75 miles away, wire services picked it up. Heater got fan mail from across the country.

His picture was in a weekly national sports magazine. The school newspaper devoted an entire issue to him. The Basketball Hall of Fame had him sign a commemorative postage stamp first day cover, along with Chamberlain. But the only scout who came to see him was from West Virginia University. And he decided Heater was too slow to play for a team that lost the national championship by only one point in 1959.

"Of course I was too slow," Heater says sadly. "The scout came two games after the record and in between I had sprained my ankle. I could hardly walk. But I still scored 25 points." Nobody else came calling. A benefactor paid for him to go to Richmond University, but he dropped out before the first semester ended after his parents' house burned down.

The All-Jobs Shotgun i Many hunters take a great pride in owning a rack of shotguns. This writer can certainly understand this. 1 Some have lightweight shotguns for quail hunting, heavy duck and goose guns, turkey guns, etc. But coming right down to it, I doubt if they will do any better, or as well for that matter, as the one gun man, who, becoming throughly accustomed to it, is deadly with it. That is, of course, if the one gun is suitable for various jobs as the all-around shotgun must be.

The various gauge guns and weights have been dealt with in detail in recent columns. The 12-gauge is the most efficient gun for all-around use in average hands. The double-barrel gun, be it side-by-side or over-and-under" to be an all-around shotgun would have to have two sets of barrels. One set would have to be bored imp. cyl.

and modified. The other set bored modified and full. An excellent barrel length in a double is 28 inches due to the shorter overall gun length than pumps or autoloaders. Under most conditions, the open set of barrels would be far more suitable for the average or even better than average shot. But for the hunter who hunts a wide variety of game, there are times when a tight-shooting, full-choke shotgun is required.

Turkey hunting would call for such a gun. Long-range pass shooting on ducks and geese would also. And full choke is the best for squirrel hunting. For other than such shooting, the average man will be far better off with the more open chokes and the confinement of his shooting to reasonable range. In plain language, this means within 40 yards or so.

A pump or autoloader could be equipped with three interchangable barrels, one of imp. a second of modified choke, and a third bored full choke. This would be an all-around shotgun. But it would also be a costly solution and somewhat bothersome changing barrels back and forth, THE ANSWER The. truly all-around shotgun of reasonable cost and convenience would be a pump or autoloader of 12 gauge in standard weight equipped with a good variable choke control device.

And these devices are good if properly fitted in the right diameter for the individual barrel. The barrel length should be 26 or 27 inches overall for the nozzle choke device and the same for the tube type when measured with the open or spreader tube in place. Such a shotgun in 16 or 20 gauge, so equipped, would be the logical choice for a small or slightly built person who could not comfortably handle the 12-gauge. Or for the person who prefers a smaller gun. The choke control devices in recoil reducing models offer excellent recoil reduction.

The recoil factor is a very important consideration for those who are sensitive to gun kick, particularly when maximum loads are used. Such a shotgun as described would be as nearly a perfect all-around shotgun as possible to obtain. It would give anything from a wide open pattern to a tight full-choke pattern and anything in between. Changing back and forth between guns of varying weights barrel lengths is confusing to most gunners. This is one reason why some hunters never become proficient in their shooting.

The man who can pick up various shotguns and shoot them well Is a rare individual. Former Gator Great Dies at Age 69 NEWPORT BEACH, abutment.

NEW YORK (AP) Dan Ripley doesn't want to read that "believe it or not Ripley won the pole vault at Friday night's Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden." "I was exhausted with that comment five years ago," the indoor world record holder in the pole vault said in an interview Tuesday.

"Believe it or not." Ripley expects the first 18f oot vault of the indoor season to be recorded Friday night. He has won twice this year at 17-6 and his world record is 18-3V4, three-quarters of an inch off his outdoor best, Where the mark is 18-8V4 by Dave Roberts. But the Californian, who started vaulting at the age of 9 in his backyard, prefers indoor competition. "The atmosphere I like indoors," he said. "It's more exciting.

Things are closer together. "It (vaulting) is easier because it's consistent. You're never going to get bad conditions but you're never going to get great conditions," Ripley said that while a vaulter won't be affected by rain and head winds indoors, neither will he get a tail wind that helps generate the speed so important to great vaults. The big disappointment in the 23-year-old Ripley's career was his failure to make the 1976 Olympic team. "It was a combination of things," he recalled.

"I had been hurt and didn't vault for four weeks. I missed on all three vaults. Everything has to be pretty finely timed in pole vaulting." But there's always next time. Some other ways you can help: to absorb solar heat. 4 Plan meals which require less cooking and hridng.
