Jim Hurtubise of North Tonawanda, N.Y., the driver who was last in the 33-car starting field for the 1971 Schaefer 500 at Pocono, was the last entry for the 1972 Schaefer 500. Hurtubise, one of the most entered the only front engine roadster in the field, the Miller 1ugh Life Special. The car, built by Hurtubise and nicknamed the Mallard powered with a turbocharged Offenhauser engine, is the same car he started with in 1971. Hurtubise’s entry brought the total number of entries to 49 for the July 2 running of the U.S. Auto Club’s “Triple Crown’ of auto racing. Mark Donohue, the 1971 winner of the Schaefer 500 and 1972 Indy winner, will be shooting for his third USAC 500 mile race victory within a 12 month period, having won the 1971 Schaefer 500, July 3, 1971. Donohue is one of six 500 mile race winners entered, including Al Unser, Indy 500-1970, 1971; Joe Leonard, California 500-1971 and Jim McElreath, California 500-1970. Four drivers have won the USAC National Title, Andretti- 1965-66-69; Bobby Unser-1968; Al Unser-1968 and Leonard-1971. Leonard, by virtue of earning more points in the three 500 mile races in 1971, Indianapolis, Schaefer 500 at Pocono, and California 500, became auto racing’s first “Triple Crown’ champion. Of the 49 entries, there are eight on-assigned cars, including 17 new drivers to Pocono, four who have never appeared in a 500 mile race; Merle Bettenhausen, Al Loquasto, Tom Bigelow and Loee Brayton. The famed Eagle chassis, built by. Dan Gurney, which Bobby Unser has been dominating racing in the speed department, leads the Schaefer entries with 15 and McLaren is second with nine. There are 36 Turbocharged Offenhauser engines, nine Fords, two Foyts and tow Chevrolets. . The one and four lap track record established by Donhue in 1971 of 172.967 M.P.H. and 172.393 M.P.H. is a sure mark for the qualifications set for June 24 and/25. In Goodyear tire tests this past week, on the 2.5 mile tri-oval, Billy Vukovich erased the record by turning a 175.1 M.P.H. lap on his tur- bocharged Offenhauser Eagle and immediately predicted that it would take at least 179.3 to just make the 1972 event. Track officials predict that the pole speed will be between 187 and 190 N.P.H. Registration for the USAC drivers and crew begins June 15 and practice sessions are scheduled daily from 9 a.m.-6 p.m through June 23. On June 24 and 25, the 49 hopefuls will start for one of the 33 starting spots which will follow former driver Sam Hanks to the starting line July 2 as he paces the field with the 1972 Raybestos sponsored Dodge Charger which will be awarded the winner. Raceway officials anticipate a purse of over $400,000 for the event which paid a total of $386,387 in 1971 of which Donohue collected, $86,874.24. Tickets in all grandstands are still available at Ticketron outlets throughout the nation and at the raceway offices, P.O. Box 500, Mt. Pocono, 18344 or by calling 717-646-2300. _ BC EC dt a { ‘Another ‘‘red-letter” day on the 1972 fishing calendar,, June 17, marks the legal start of the fishing season for two of Penn- mouth and largemouth bass. Fishing for these fighting mem- bers of the sunfish family has ‘been against the law, except in the Delaware River, Lake Erie, Youghiogheny Reservoir, Pymatuning Lake, and the Sus- quehanna River below the Route 30 bridge, since March 14. The closed season is aimed at protecting these two species of gamefish during their spawning ‘time. Pennsylvania Fish Commis- sion officials expect a good turn- out of bass fishermen on the opening day but predict angler success will depend largely on water conditions. Most of the major bass rivers and streams—Allegheny, Susque- hanna, Delaware and Juniata— have been running high and cloudy throughout the fishing season. Lake fishermen should fare well, regardless of weather conditions or rainfall prior to the opening day. The Commission’s field force of waterways patrolmen re- minds bass fishermen that the minimum size for keeping smallmouth and largemouth bass is nine inches, with a daily creel limit (combined species) of six. During the 1972-73 winter fishing season on these two species, the creel limit is redue- ed to three (combined species). Although these seasons, size The Back Mountain American Legion Baseball team finished record, downing Jenkins Town- ship last Saturday 7-6 and losing Soap Box Derby Derby Director Mark Cooper has announced that practice runs scheduled for June 11 on Luzerne Street, Scranton, have been cancelled.

Novroski, Wolensky, and Tom Reese each contribut- ed two hits to the winning effort.

Fish Commission officials also remind bass fishermen the law limits the possession of bait fish (minnows, killifishes, stone catfish, etc.) or fish bait (hell- grammites, crayfish, mussels, etc.) tonot more than 50 each or combined species. Anglers who collect their own bait fish can- not legally use a dip net or min- now seine of over four feet square or in diameter, or a mia- now trap containing more than two openings of not more than one inch in diameter. Fisher- men are also reminded that frogs are legally protected in Pennsylvania and can be taken only between July 1 and Oct. 31, with a daily limit of 15 frogs. The use of a light to take frogs at night is illegal. Bass fishermen normally use bait, especially during the early weeks of the season, with cray- fish (including the so-called “soft-shells’’), minnows, and hellgrammites leading the hit parade. Other very successful methods for catching bass in- clude use of surface or under- water plugs, cast with a spin- ning rod or bait casting outfit. Later in the summer fly rodding for bass, using cork-bodied poppers, deer hair bugs, or ! of action, especially with smali- mouth bass in rivers and streams. Spinners and wobblers or spoons are also popular with many bass fishermen. Pennsylvania state records for bass are presently held by Stanley Pastula, of Shenan- doah, for a 29-inch, eight pound eight ounce largemouth bass caught in Stillwater Lake in 1936. In the smallmouth bass category, the state record is held by Ed Meadows, of Harris- burg, for a 24-%-inch, 6 pound 2 ounce smallmouth taken from the Conodoquinet Creek in Cumberland County in 1937.
