After an unpromising start as a 2-year-old, Rockfel this year won the Princess Elizabeth stakes, the One Thousand Guineas, the, Oaks, the Hyperion stakes, the Champion stakes and the Aintree Derby. During the year she beat every- thing but the St. Leger winner, Scottish Union, and winner, Bois Roussel. Even at that, her speed compared Yavor- ebly with that of the Derby win-: ner.

Miss Lizana Changes “Tennis Nationality” (By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 24.—Anita Liz- ana, U. S. women’s tennis singles champion in 1937, will probably play for Britain in the Wightman cup match next year. In the past, Miss Lizana has represented Chile. This year, however, she married Ronald El- jlis, a Scotsman. Now the Lawn Tennis association has laid down {the rule that she may represent | Britain in all national matches simply by declaring her willing- ness to change her “tennis nation- ality”. Action of the L.T.A. is based on the International Lawn Tennis federation ruling that upon mar- riage a woman “may elect to adopt the qualification of her husband”.

How To Impress While you are learning, you can impress your friends by dis- playing your knowledge of skat- ing history. Sample facts: Up to 1860, men skated in stiff, starched shirts with high collars and ascots, morning coats, top hats and striped trousers. Exactly 30 years ago the U. S. had a skating craze. The Hippo- drome featured Charlotte, a Eu- ropean girl, in elaborate ice acts.

Planting Fish By Air By ROBERT GEIGER AP Feature Service Writer HELENA, Mont., Dec. 24—The first time John Schofield, super- intendent of Montana fish hatch- eries, heard of planting fish by airplane he thought it might be as fesaible as shooting rockets to Mars. But after trying it out Schofield is convinced all that it takes is a man with a gunner’s eye. Leading an airplane with fish in three types of containers, Scho- field sent them flying over Lake Elmo, near Billings, w! they were dumped. Schofield was on the shore, equipped with boat, to check and see if the baby fish were hardy enough to “take it”. Few Casualties First container to be “fired” was a “Rocket”, a cylinder three feet long, pointed at one end and open at the other, made of gal- vanized metal Second was an ordinary metal bucket and third was a cardboard carton. is 's were filled with nat trout to three inches a e plaint from the U.S.L.T.A. about lon this ruling.

There were 125 fish of mixed ereeds dropped in the cardboard | carton. The container burst when it struck the water and Schofield found a dozen dead fish. Experiments were repeated at heights up to 400 feet and Scho- field said most of the fish vived. Better Than Pack Train He estimated that out of the 2,000 that were dumped, not more than 60 were lost or killed. “I’m sure fish can be planted cheaper and faster by plane than by pack train in isolated lakes”, he said. “Between 10 and 15 percent of the fish die on these pack trips”. All western states have numer- ous high or isolated lakes that re- quire days to reach by pack train. By airplane many of the lakes are not more than an hour or two from fish hatcheries. Schofield said the plane meth- od has been used successfully in Canada where fish have been dropped from as high as 1,000 feet and lived. He is developing a better fish “Rocket” before experimenting further in Montana. ¢ Pao PICCOLO LLLLL LLL A May Your Every H THE HOME IN THE : \ . . \ eetedeekededehekihheleteteed NOW IS THE MERRY C At This Holiday Season! ——_o—___—_— Pritchard’s Funeral Home SOUTHERNMOST FUNERAL ,_ DEFEATING LIONS | Dec, 24.—Three y } ance finally brow: S| OVERWHELMED OPPOSITION. | 44-18; HIGH SCHOOL FINAL-!| | LY CLIMBED INTO VICTORY | COLUMN Seafood Grill basketball quin- tet, by defeating Lions Clubs last night, are now in full possession ‘of first plece in the Island City League.
