The course was planned to aid and suppliment the instruction the young hunter will receive when completing the man- datory hunter-safety program presently administered by the Pennsylvania Game Com- mission. Citizens of 18 of our states and four Canadian provices having similar mandatory hunter-safety ian programs as Pennsylvania will find the course to be of value to their young and first-time hunters. The course is broader than most literature on the subject of hunter-safety. The topics of hunter-land owner relations, survival, archery, hunting ethics, respect for land and wildlife and knowledge of sporting arms and ammunition are also discussed. The seven lesson course may be secured by writing to Box sylvania 16802. Request Hunter Safety, and enclose your check in the amount of $14.00 payable to Penn State Univer- sity.

The teams who participated in the ‘game’ were made up of counselors and staff members who braved the abrupt starts and stops of the uncooperative animals. Appearing to enjoy the confusion and trepidation they were causing, the donkeys con- stantly astounded both the part- icipants and the attending fans with their unexpected move- ments. Another sporting event of the novelty variety took place at Camp St. Andrew on July 19. All-Star Wrestling made its de- but in Casey Hall before a packed house of enthused, part- isan fans. Spoofing some of the ‘big-name’ wrestling ‘‘stars” of recent vintage, the camp staff provided an evening of amusement and laughter for the assemblied spectators by their outlandish and oftentimes foolhardy tactics. Leading off the night's card was the Siberian Crusher, Nikolai Pennovich (John Penn- ington) versus Lilly the Loser (Marty Lilly). The next match featured America’s apple-pie boy, Handsome Sam (John Sempa) taking on the Mongol- ian Master of Manslaugh- ter, Kung Fool (Gary Cangemi), who was managed by the notor- ious Joe Alxano (Joe Sica). In the championship tag-team match, the golden lad of wrest- ling, Sully Boy (Mike Sullivan), and his famous partner Sylvest- er Clod (Steve “Chet” Stavoy), faced the vile and treacherous Samson Brothers, featuring Gorgeous Grog (Ed Scarp) and Scrumptous Johnny (John McAllister), who were both at their worst for this match. The grand finale of the even-§ ing pitted that granite hunk’ from the Stone Age, Cro-Mag- non Man, (Bill Seifert) against the Masked Maniac (Rick Keat- ing), master of foreign objects. Acting as ringside announcer | for the nigh fective was Steve ‘“Howara{Cosell”’ Yetter, who kent the fans on the edge of 4 their seats with his witty and candid comments. These events were just two of the many special features that are scheduled at Camp St. A Andrew this summer for the en- joyment and amusement of the youngsters.
