In the final minutes of the first period, the Chargers began to hit from the outside and when the whistle blew, the score was 18-15 for the Dallas squad. Meskers took command in the second quarter and took rebound after rebound and Delaney 4 singed the net for 8.

Dallas regained the lead 32-30, but Atkinson put in two from the charity line to knot the score.

Horses See Poorly At Night— Riding a horse or pony after dark may not be a safe practice, unless it is in a ring or pasture, reminds James P.

Pleasure boaters, water skiers and fishermen getting on the waterways of Penn- sylvania are being reminded that they must have certain life- Races Prompt Pocono Paving Prompted by the addition of two major professional road course races for 1973, and the possibility of another, Pocono announced plans for partial re- surfacing of the 1.8 Mile Road Course which utilizes portions of the Pocono Three-Quarter Mile Oval and the 2.5 Mile Tri- Oval. Dr. Joseph R. Mattioli, Pocono’s chief executive officer said in making the announce- ment, ‘In view of the fact that our 1973 schedule presently in- cludes the $50,000 L&M Cham- pionship Road Race of the SCCA 5000 series, which is worth over a half million dollars totally, on Labor Day weekend and the Koni-Pocono $25,000 American Motorcycle Association Nation- al Road Race Championships, August 16, through August 19, and a very good possibility of an additional major road race in early June, we have made arrangements to resurface the half mile infield portion of the road course. In looking to the future we are also adding two short paved connecting courses which will provide a 2.8 mile course which will utilize the entire back straightaway— the 16 degree banked first turn and half of the 3700 foot main straight of the 2.5 mile tri-oval. The long course will be tested with the running of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Nationals July 14 and 15.” Dr. Mattioli continued ‘It is our desire to bring as many of the various types of auto racing available to Pocono so racing and general sports fans alike, will have the opportunity to see motor racing at its best.” The resurfacing will begin immed- iately after the winter frost clears the Pocono areas. saving devices on board their pleasure craft. According to Capt. Charles E. Leising, director of the Penn- sylvania Fish Commission’s Bureau of Waterways, the law requires that a Coast Guard approved ‘‘personal flotation device” be on board all vessels for each person in the boat. These devices must be in ‘‘good and serviceable’ condition, the Coast Guard tag or stencil must be legible, and the devices must be readily accessible capable of being reached quickly and safely for use under emergency conditions. Exceptions fo this rule of where the devices must be located involve water skiing and operation of boats on State Park lakes and lakes owned or under the control of the Fish Commission. On State Park lakes and Fish Commission lakes, children under nine years of age or adults who are non-swimmers must wear a life jacket or buoyant vest at all times when afloat. ~~ In water skiing, .ski belts, although not now Coast Guard approved, will be acceptable for the skier until April, 1975, but after that time, the device being worn will have to be Coast Guard approved. Presently, if the skier wears a ski belt, there must be a Coast Guard ap- proved device in the boat for him or her. If he wears a Coast Guard approved device, however, there will not have to be such a device in the boat for him. For maxium safety reasons, the Fish Commission recom- mends boaters and fishermen should equip their boats with a wearable device for each person on board, not the buoyant cushions even though such devices meet minimum legal requirements. In addition, Fish Commission spokesmen are recommending that every boat, regardless of size or power, carry an extra as a buoyant cushion or life ring, which could be thrown to another person in trouble in the water. Such a requirement has been proposed by: the Coast Guard as a Federal regulation, but has not as yet been adopted.
