Sports Roundup Kaws were victorious by a 38-34 count The Jays will have the ad vantage of playing on their home court this time and will be" out to gain revenge for this defeat Kaws Eye Win Column The Kaws are. eager to get back into the will column after last week's defeat at the hands of their new rivals, the Rockets, while the Bhiejays are in hopes of keeping their home record of seven victories unscathed. Coach Kitzman's boys accomplished' their one de sire this year and that to beat Nee jiah on their home court Both the Ghosts and Jays produce about equal teams each year. Last year the Kaws took a 38-38 decision en their home floor, but the Jays avenged that score on their own court with a 28-26 victory.

Friday night's contest will be one of defen sive tactics because both teams are high scoring clubs and the team which manages to set' up the best offense may be victorious. The New London contest will permit Coach Ole Jorgensen of Neenah to get a chance to see what his substitutes can do, as well as develop a good team for next year unless he wants to establish a new conference scoring record. The New London cagers won only two games this season and those by 38-35 and 37-35 verdicts over Clintonville. But the Bulldogs gave Menasha a chase before giving in to the taller team by a 51-42 score. Bulldogs Have Court Advantage Neenah ran wild in the intial meeting with the Bulldogs and held the New Londoners to but 20 points while they collected 57 on their side of the.

ledger. New London will have the advantage of its home court The Clintonville Truckers are pointing their guns at Shawano this week in hope of another upset victory. The Clints beat the In dians, 34-32, on their home floor. Last week the Indians surprised the strong Kitzman club and almost scored an upset except that Chuck Block, Jay guard, heaved a desperation shot with only 35 seconds remaining that swished through the hoop to tie the game at 47-all. It was this basket that saved the first place position for the Menasha team.

Menasha's sophomore guard. Block, has a comfortable lead in scoring honors in the Western divi sion with 134 points on 58 field goals and 18 free throws to take conference honors for this- season. Neenah's' Darrell Schultz still holds second place with 109 points whilaH Galdwin Born Clintonville, claims third place with 105 points. Jim, Lehman, last year's leading scorer from Kaukauna, earns fourth place with 99 markers. STTRlSHTDOWN THERE IN MY HENRY, OLD BOY YOU'RE IN FULL CHASSIS HERE WHILE lA AWAY.

SORRY HAD TO LEAVE SO MUCH UNFINISH ED BUSINESS BUT HA HA HA -I KNOW IT5 IN CAPABLE HANDS I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU eeQTHAPCUTlEPU 6532 12 ST, fMLA.2fc, PA. rrmgATt, wplp mewn artvtD written Jimmy Doolittle to point out technical flaws in his take-off for the historic flight over; Toklo. I also have written Generals Arnold and Spaatz to suggest changes In their caps which will make them look even more like "hot" pilots. My first lesson proved one of twb things: either I am the most natural-born pilot of a plane the world has yet produced, or these" post-war planes are most remarkable ships. Teacher Wilder likes to think the ship was my salvation.

I am convinced that it was my amazing touch at the controls which kept the red-and-black Job behaving in a manner which had ground-chained citizens peering with awe toward the sky. The first step in my first lesson was to learn how to taxi. I took to taxi-ing like a fish to a carpet With all the confidence of a second-story worker crossing a tin roof, I drove the plane to the take-off point. It was as easy to handle as an automobile, but I couldn't locate the southeast corner of the runway. I looked at the compass.

I took a reading of the sun. I stuck a wet finger out of the window to get a reading of the wind. I got lost twice, but finely managed to get to the proper place by the. trial and error svstem, Henry Takes The Wheel Teacher Wilder put the ship In the air. It ran about 325 feet and climbed like a monkey on a string.

He levelled off at 3,000 feet and said for me to take over. Cool, calm, and perspiring, I to.ok the wheel. "Go right ahead and do what you want to," Wilder said. tThlM plane Is foolproof. Even a determined Idiot couldn't get in trou- a aa Die.

The compliment went to my head. I gave it right rudder. I gave it left rudder. I had the elevators waggling like a hen's tail. The plane flew on, oblivious of my delicate touch on the controls.

"See if we can find another plane around here," I said. "I would like to get in a good dogfight." When we started down, Mr. Wilder suggested that he take over. After all, it was a new plane, and he had to leave in a few days for Detroit He gave it full flaps, and we came down like an elevator. We ull went over to the hanger, where- there were at least half a dozen pilots with months of combat flying in the European and Pacific theatres.

I talked their language. As a matter of fact one of them mistook me for Pappy Boy-ington. "Mighty glad to se you around here, Panpy," he said. "Sure would like to fly with you sometime." "Any time, ol' man," I answered. "Glad to take you up I then described the fights I had had over Guandalcanal, and the kick I eot out of the famed "Mari-annas Turkey Shoot." Mr.

Wilder led me away. "The plane made you look good." he said. "Get out while they still still think you're Pappy VOW liL'DplG H.

A. Wallops Freedom Five BT GEOEGH VANDERLOOP tittle Chnte St John High school cagers counted a 37 to 27 victory over Pulaski High schol in a non conference battle at the Dutchmen gym last night to make it a clean sweep of the home and home clash this season. St. John won the Initial contest at Pulaski by a 41 to 28 count After taking a 20 to 10 lead midway, Coach Bernie Bongers substituted freely throughout the second half, using all his reserves. They came through with flying colors to keep up the pace set by the starters in the Initial half, and match the visitors point for point Pulaski had a fast driving offense which showed no letup throughout and fans witnessed plenty of action on fast breaking plays by both teams.

St. John will play its final contest next Tuesday evening when they are host to St Mary's Zephyrs of Menasha in a Catholic Conference tilt Three seniors will don the blue and white for the last time.

It was a nip and tuck affair for the first half, and Freedom went into the lead a few times, with the halftime count being 17 to 15, in favor of the locals. The A. A. gradually drew away in the third period, led by Jim Koehn, who collected 14 points for his evenings work. He was followed by Gene Vanden Heuvel with 12.

I figure that In five or six more lessons I will be so much like a bird that I will spend my spare time hopping about on lawns, pulling worms from their lair, eating crumbs from window sills, and giving off the high, tremulous note of the nightingale'. I might even slip off my flight jacket and take a plunge in the bird bath.
