FAIR WEATHER MEANS A GREAT CROWD TO SEE TECH PLAY BELLEFONTE ON ISLAND Ducks, Hot Biscuits and Gravy With Tom Marshall "A friend In need is a friend In deed." Dr. S. B. Friend of Los An geles, Cal., is all that tho word mend implies, so accepted by the host of good sportsmen who sing climatic conditions and specialize on tho Pacific coast as an ideal resi dence section. There is an atmos pheric condition in "Sunset Land" which engenders sociability and good fellowship. Doctor Friend and wife are the devotees of the urt of trap shooting. On a recent visit to Ma nilla, at a shooting tournament given by tho Gun Club, the medal repre • senting tho Philippine Island cham pionship, was annexed by Mrs. Friend in an open contest. As a re cent contestant in the Grand Amer ican Handicap, in Chicago, she turn , cd in most credible scores. October 16 was the opening day in tho duck shooting arena in Califor nia. As the guest of Dr. Friend and wife, tho writer visited tho Cas tic Lake Duek Club, a run of about one hundred miles over tho ridge route road from Los Angeles. Tho lake Is located la tho Tejon Range of mountains, in Kern county, about ! fifty miles inlupd from tho railroad, approximately two miles long and, one wide, deep in tho center and j shoal near tho shores. Wild rice and celery furnished the piece do re -4 sistancc, while tule, liag and reeds, form an ideal trysting place, where duck confidences are exchanged. Shore blinds are scattered around tho lake, so located that tho hunter always has tho advantage of wind conditions. Tho hunting lodge is spacious and convenient, cxcilent beds which seem to fit one's form after a day afield. A competent chef who specializes on tho 'cooking of ducks, with a real duck gravy and hot biscuits, which havo made tho southland famous;. Wlicn we arrived, the surface of the lake was covered with mallards, teal, spoon-bill, sprigs, while an oc • casional flock of canvasback were conspicuous by their flashing silver grav color, covering the lalto like a white blanket, in limited sections. Resting in the center of the pond, they felt immune from danger, as there had been no shooting on the grounds prior to our arrival. Live oak frees were around the shores, up tho mountainside is seen the state ly, towering pine and tir. Ensconced in our blind, tho first shot was tired, which put all wild life in motion, creating general con sternation. They jumped from the surface of tho water a/nd commenc ed "milling." Wo were occupying a point blind, which gave us numerous shots us the birds circled about. Wo soon had suilicient number of ducks t to mako a respectable decoy display. We staked them out by running a sharpened stick into the mud, impal ing tho lower portion of the duck's bill on the stick, which gave them a life-like appearance as they rest ed on the water. The decoy layout was especially seductive, assisted by the dulcet notes of a duck call, birds dropped in, affording most excel- j or> t scooting. We were soon con vinced that our bag limit would bo raached before tho evening flight f&rted. Thon carao the "shot about" order, scorng mallard ducks of tho male persuasion only.

When a man successfully i matches wits with this wily ace of | the air, he has out out some work | for himself. Circling high in tho j clouds turning his head from sido to sitle, very little gets away from ! his acute vision. Anxious to light | when conditions are propitious, he I becomes nonsuspiclous. The cam ! ouflage blind must tic almost perfect ! and the hunter set rigid, a little turn ! of one's head to watch their flight ! will frequently start a duck climb i ing higher, sending him to other : dimes. Our legal limit count was j made, two ducks more completed our quota, they were pulled down by Miss Diana, our shooting pnrd. As our birds were tied pi bunches, tho color scheme found on a male mal lard appealed to me as being the most perfect offered by any othor bird awing. Our birds must have been members of the I. W. W. or ganization, usually interpreted as the "I don't work's." They had been in cessantly eating, seldom taking wing or moving about, until they had be come inordinately fat and h(savy. Wo remained two more days, annex- I ing, the bag limit on each day. With our machine loaded with ducks, we returned to the city of saints, to scatter duck delicacies among our less fortunate friends. The close of an outing covered three perfect days' sport. Question: How were shot gauges originally determined, say 10, 12, 16 or 20: F. 11. D. LaFuyette, Ind. Answer: Prior to tho discovery, of tho micrometer and other instru- ' ments for accurate gauging, all shot I guns were cylinder bore. A spheri- , cal bull of lead, which exactly fitted | to the bore, was then weighed up, the number of bullets required to weigh one pound determined the gauge of tho gun. Twelve bullets! weighing one pound was indicative of a twelve gauge gun. Question': What would lie tho \ correct load on a target thrown fifty j yards? JACOB MILLER. Davenport, lowa. Answer: The accurate lead would ( depend upon too many unstated con- : ditions for me to hazard a guess— whether a straight* away or angle target, if an angle, the degree; if! straight away the height, calm or: windy, steady or irregular flight; : whether you follow with your gun [ the flying" object, shooting at a time when your gun is in motion or j whether you swing ahead of your J target and stop your gun before fir- j ing. Ask some professional who is attending the tournament or some; successful home amateur. Question: Where could I get cor- : rectly measured for a gun? I want: to commence trapshooting and feel, after reading your articles, I should start with a gun that fits. J. R. C. Evansville, Tnd. Answer: Locate a professional | equipped with a try gun or a knowl- j edge of guns and their construction. | He will measure you accurately, de termining all requisites. You. ari> on the right plan. Get your gun to fit. Then you will rapidly learn to shoot.

The { visitors appeared to be mighty con- j fldezit, but of course, they had not j had a squint yet at Carl Beck, "Buddy" Lingle, Captain Ebnor and s such like. Grubb announced that Eugene: (Shorty) Miller would be responsible for the refereeing, and ho seemed to think that this would bo the hardest game for Tech of the season. Cole- t man was out of the lineup, and tho festive brass band was so crippled by absences that it did not jazz 'quite as lively as usual. * Tho schedule provided a game be- j ginning at 1.30 twixt Scrubs and Hershey A. C., and the big game at ' 3 sharp; admission 35 cents. The Academy team had arranged to play with Lancaster Stevens Trade school, and Coach Rudisill gathered his squad together at an early hour for final practice. There was plenty of ginger in the Academy bunch, a lively mass meeting of students yes terday bringing out the pep. Man ager Loose announced the following list of battles as arranged up-to date: November 9. Stevens Trade, at home; 13, Middletown Aviators, at home; 16, Gettysburg High School, at home; 23, Gettysburg Academy, at pounds. To-day Flags carried 1291 pounds and paid 8 to 1. Flags had the time of his life to t get to the wire a nose in front of Jeck Scot who, in turn, just stalled off Bulse. It was a great finish and none knew which had'won until the official numerals were posted. Every horse in the race except Nepherhan, whose fatest time for the route has been 1.13, has run the three-quar ters between 1.11 and 1.12 2-5. The favorite of the contest was Sam Hildreth's Lucillite, with Motor Cop, who was coupled with Boniface, second. Neither finished close up to the money. The Beach stable also put over Ground Swell in second event. The odds against this one's chances be ing almost 13 to 1. Close finishes ruled the day.

The Lan caster legians were inoculated by the college physicians and it was feared they would not be in condition for a respectable battle. Two more hunters were victims yesterday to bone-head, tenderfoot, ] out-door boobs, near I'ennsburg. Har- | vey Rotenberger, thirty-eight year old, of Trumbauersville, brother of Raymond Rotenberger, who died In France recently, was accldently siKt by.John Levy, a comrade, while gun ning for rabbits near his home. Pel lets entered his leg and head, and his condition Is considered critical. Clement Moyer, of East Greenville, received a charge of pellets while out hunting for nabbits. The chtrge. came from some unidentified gunner. "Who's lending of the Huns Just nowf" Asked l'ntrlck from the ranks, "Who's running tbem Is Pershing" Said the sergeant; "with his Yanks."

Mike Mil ' ler, star of end rushers, Metka and ' Marina, both of last year's Enhuut | team, were looked to for great .things by the Stoelton management.

Willlamsport was the destination of George Cockill's Steelton High i school demons, and George was ' aware of the task in view. Williams port always plays its head off in any thing against Steelton. Rumor says that Cockill has greatly improved the team work and that Steelton will prove a formidable foe for Tech on Thanksgiving Day. Thus far their performance has not been of big league calibdr.
