of THE LIFE, SUNDAY. DECEMBER 17, 1944 OH dO IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS! tanga holding an 18-5 advantage. With Bill Hunt making six points for them, the Terriers worked up the score "to 25-18 at half-time. Roffi made two buckets while Bauman, Shaw, and Ferd Nadherny each gained one charity throw for the Mustangs. Morton went on a scoring spree in the third quarter to add 16 more points, with Bauman and Shaw each hitting 1 for seven markers.

At the end of three periods the Mustangs were leading 41-27. Not to be outdone, the New Trier quintet put on a drive of its own and secured 14 points in valiant attempt to gain its first win. Again Hunt came through, this time with six points. The remarkable circumstance in this period was the making of nine gratis tosses in nine attempts by the Terriers after missing eight tries previously. In this period Coach Jim Vopicka substit-ted freely and gave a number of boys an opportunity to display their talent.

The game ended with the Mustangs holding a 50- 43 edge. In the evening opener, a fighting frosh-soph quintet played its best game of the year to administer a 43-33 defeat to the New Trier underclassmen. Ciro Vuolo dominated the floor throughout the game and emerged from the with a total of 16 points on eight buckets. Rudy Cernoch gained 13 points for the Morton cause while Don Hodgson of New Trier made 12 points to lead his team in that respect. Getting, off to an early 4-0 lead, the local Ponies never were overtaken by the New Trier quintet.

Holding a 21-14 lead at halftime and 30-24 advantage at the end of three quarters, Morton was never in danger. Therefore Coach Paul Pavlinek used many of his reserves, some of them giving creditable performances and all gaining useful experience. FROSH-SOPH GAME Morton (43) New Trier (33) B. F. P.

You weren't dishonorably discharged. Your Teeth Contributed by the Dental Hygiene Institute of Chicago, Affiliated with the Chicago Dental Society Manpower is our nation's most important problem at the present time. Industry is beginning to recognize that the man who operates its machines is its most valuable asset, and the problem of working hours lost because of absenteeism due to illness is becoming incresaingly serious in war industries. One of the most prevalent causes of absence from work is dental disease, Some observers place it second only to the common cold as an affliction of industrial workers. Dental defects affect the general health in several ways.

First of all, proper mastication is essential for the good digestion and assimilation of food, which in turn are essential to good general health and efficiency. This is impossible when the teeth and gums are sore and painful, or when many teeth are missing. Then, diseased teeth. are common source or focus of infection from which bacteria, and the poisons they produce, invade the body. Dental infection is a common cause of arthritis, neuritis, eye trouble, kidney disease, stomach ulcers, and headaches.

Most disabling illnesses due to dental disease could have been avoided by early detection and treatment of defects. Whatever the condition of the natural teeth, dentists can repair them or make new ones which will enable the worker to chew his food properly. But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and is much less expensive. Regular checkups by a dentist will catch the trouble before it has a chance to become serious. Mr.

Dobes is survived by his sister, Frances Dobes Zid, with whom he resided, and brothers, Joseph, Louis, John and Frank. He was the brother-in-law of Joseph Zid, Catherine, Libby and Frances Dobes. Mr. Dobes was also a member of Cardinal Council 1691, K. of C.

POLICE SEEK TO IDENTIFY GOLD WEDDING RING The burglary career of two juvenile boys ended abruptly Friday night when the pair were caught as they were burglarizing a Cicero home.

ILLINOIS ALL STATE OK Building terial MUSTANGS DEFEAT NEW TRIER TWICE, TAKE LOOP LEAD Heavies Triumph 50-41 As Bauman Gets 20 Points; Ponies Win By George Stedronsky, Jr. Morton High School's basketball teams, playing in their second Suburban League contests of the season, swept over New Trier of Winnetka Friday evening in thrilling double victory in which the Mustangs won 50-41 and the improved Pony quintet triumphed 43-33.

These two victories give both local teams a perfect record, placing them both on top in the league standings. In the varsity contest Dick Bauman sparked the Mustangs and became high scorer for the evening with a total of 20 points on seven baskets and six free throws. Bob Shaw accumulated 15 points while Bill Hunt and Mike Zeddies of New Trier made 13 and 11 markers, respectively. Ray Roffi came next with a total of 10 points. Although New Trier got off to an early 1-0 lead, the closest the Terriers ever came to the Mustangs after that was when the count was tied 4-4.

Among the formidable teams which Morton is scheduled to face in the future are Culver, St. John's, Morgan.

Park, St. Mary's and Grant high schools. Each is strong and some of these teams gain national recognition each year for their outstanding material. Activities of the team were begun about three weeks when the annual boxing show was presentad to the student body at Morton. Besides comedy bout in which four blindfolded pugilists were al.

lowed to fight among themselves, four feature bouts were held. In the paperweight division, Nick Guglielmo out-pointed Bill Conperty for the decision with both boys weighing about 95 pounds. Two lightweights, Bob Shubinski and George Makris exhibited fine style with Shubinski winning. In the heavyweight division. Gordon Richards defeated Ed Malinovski while Jim Stathakas defeated Frank Smith by a decision.

In the annual Catholic Youth Organization tournament held in Chicago, three Morton boxers participated and won high honors. These boys were Bob Snubinski, Jim Sarno, and Gordon Richards. Sarno, battling for the welterweight championship after eliminating several rivals, was defeated in the finals by Abe Lee, a Chicago Chinese. 'In 29 starts Sarno has 20 victories to his credit. Richards won the championship in his weight class in the novice division after boxing at Morton for less than two years.

135 pound Shubinski was also out. standing, eliminating his opponents with little trouble. Now in his senior year at Morton he is a seasoned veteran and has lated an outstanding record with many wins to his credit. FINS, FEATHERS and FURS by ED TAYLOR The end of the duck hunting season usually brings a nostalgic memory of days spent along the rivers and bottom lands. As you look back to the waterfowl season, there are certain things that stand out like bright objects in a picture.

For instance, you recall that morning down on the Sangamon when Fritz Prieg who was doing the "pushing" for two other fellows dropped a Canada honker into the blocks the only goose that had been shot in that vicinity since the opening of the season. According to his companions, Fritz muttered that he ould shoot the first one who lifted his gun to take a crack "at his goose." Then there was the morning when we poled our way through smart" grass, startling hundreds of wood ducks who took to the skies. Or there is a vivid memory of the black mallards who turned to the call and settled down into our decoys and didn't seem to be particularly annoyed when we rose in the blind to chase them out. Perhaps that time the three of us squeezed our triggers and were amazed to see three ducks dropping down into the reeds was a red letter memory. However, no hunter reaches this time in the tail end of the waterfowl season without yearning to re-live some pleasant memory or thrilling experience.

The writer recalls two or three long-range shots that should never have been attempted but they worked. Such shots, of course, should have been left to a mag-probably a gauge at that. Then there the time ten. fortune smiled and we marked up a double. One thing that has brought into focus an idea that may mean something to hunters is that of marksmanship under difficult conditions.

Store 21 Sekera Furniture 23 chester "97" I neglected to replace the magazine in the correct position for proper locking. To all 1 outward appearances the gun seemed to be in perfect working order and it was not until I was in the blind and had banged away at my first duck (and missed) that I found that the magazine would not release shells. This meant that, unless I wanted to do a minor overhaul job right there in the blind, my shooting that day would be limited to single shots. On the face of it this situation looked bad. However, I didn't wish to waste time so I decided to do the best I could shooting the gun as a single.

This meant that I would have no second and third shot to follow up any misses. Knowing that this was the condition I instinctively decided to make every shot count. The result was that my marksmanship showed a vast improvement. 1 didn't waste shells on tricky shots; I waited until the birds were within range and the ones I hit went down for the count. I'll grant you that my companions shot more during the course of the day, but they did it with a far greater number of shells in proportion to the ducks killed.

Our ancestors went far afield for their game and their fowling pieces in those early days were muzzle loaders. Each discharge of those early' firearms meant that the hunter had a good five minutes of work ahead of him getting ready for the next shot. It wasn't the simple process of merely shucking the shells into the breech. That leads me to one conclusion--that those early pioneers HAD to be good marksmen. For if those old-timers missed the first shot they didn't get a second.

That meant the difference between having meat on the table or a plate of beans for the main course. Oudes Tavern 26 Paloucek Meats 27 Smitty's Bob's 29 High individual game, F. Turek, 265; high individual series, E. Straka, 627. CROUSE LADIES MAJOR W.
