The 1938 National Another National is history with new champions crowned and new records set.

Miss Jean Tenney of Clear Springs, Maryland, defending women’s title holder, was the only champion to repeat. Miss Tenney easily outdis­ tanced a high scoring field to win her second national championship.

She scored 1088 points for the double

Columbia round to break the record score of 1082 set in 1936 by Mrs. Gladys Hammer of Los Angeles. Miss Tenny also broke the double national round record with a score of 939 Irma Oelschlager, Cleveland, Ohio; Margaret Pariish, Los Angeles; Helen Little, Los Angeles; Florine Spellman, Redlands, California; Vivian Cham­ bers, Portland, Oregon; Ilda Han-

chett; Inglewood, California; and Gladys Hammer, Los Angeles, were among the high scorers.

Sonny Johns of Tacoma, Wash.,, took the junior boys’ title, scoring a total of 2710 points and setting a new singles record of 698 and a new doubles record of 1356.

Miss Merta Longley of San Jose.

California, broke a seven-year-old record with a double junior Columbia score of 1092 points to win the girls’ championship title.

Pat Chambers of Portland, Oregon, maintained a consistant winning pace to win the men’s championship with a record-breaking total of 3012, ex­ ceeding both the single and double York previous records. This climaxed the winning of the Oregon State and the Pacific Northwest titles. Larry Hughes of Burbank, California, was second with 2839. M. E. Spansei, Oakland, California, third; J. J. Stanisich, Oakland, fourth; and L. E. Berg, San Francisco, fifth.

Gene Warnick of Portland, Oregon, won the regular style flight event, shooting 462 yards 1 foot 9 inches.

Curtis Hill of Dayton, Ohio, cast an arrow 610 yards 4 inches to win the men’s free style flight. Miss Glendolene Vineyard of Canby, Oregon, captured both the regular style and free style flight titles for women, with shots of 320 yards 1 foot 6 inches and 345 yards 1 foot 6 inches respec­ tively.

The Greenwood Archers of Oak­ land rolled up 2440 points to win the team trophy. The Portland Archers team was second with 2399, Ahwah­ nee, Calif., 2359; Cleveland, Ohio, 2112; Elysian Los Angeles, 2101, and Sacramento, Calif., 2020.

The women’s team title went to the Ahwahnee quartet with 2192 points.

Greenwood, Oakland, took second with 1997, and Elysian third, with 1975.

The 1939 tournament will be held in St. Paul, Minn. Earl G. Lee of St. Paul was elected president of the association to succeed John P. Cuneo of San Francisco. William Folberth, Sr., Cleveland; E. Hill Turnock, Wil­ kinsburg, Pa., and J. M. Kloss of Oakland were elected to the Board of Governors.

We do not have as yet the results of the Art Young round.

August, 1938

Northwest Tournament Mr. and Mrs. Pat Chambers of Port­ land repeated their performance at the Oregon State tournament by walk­ ing away with most of the honors at the Pacific Northwest tournament.

Mrs. Chambers took the champion­ ship by defeating Miss Mary Mar­ quis of Portland 1921 to 1884. Miss Glendolene Vinyard of Canby, Oregon, was third. Miss Marquis won the clout and Miss Vinyard the flight and archery-golf. Pat took the champion­ ship for men and the archery-golf event. Donald Minor of Portland was second in the target events and John Allen of Corvallis was third. Vic Adcook won the clout wth L. C. Holt second and Pat Chambers third. Gene Warnick got into the flight game by shooting 443 yds. K'in. to top Homer Pronty by ll'A inches. Gene won with his York round bow that had broken a few days before. It broke about 4 or 5 inches from the tip. He cut the other end off to match, filed in a couple of nocks, did a little scraping, and with a 4 ft. 10 in. bow weighing about 60 lb. showed the reflexes how it was done. Sonny Johns, a 13 year old Tacoma boy, gave evidence of what could be expected of him at the National by sweeping the junior events with record scores in the tar­ get events. He shot five perfects at 30 yards. Mrs. Chambers and Miss Marquis shot perfects at the same end on the same target.

The 1939 tournament will be held at Tacoma. H. C. Johns was elected president, Mert Bixler and A. W. Partee vice-presidents, and Kore Dur­ yee secretary.

Broomers Furnishes Earthquakes There is nothing within reason that.

George Brommers won’t do for his guests. Dr. Klopsteg and family visited at the Brommers home lately and the doctor was bemoaning the fact that he had never experienced an earthquake. Just then the building shook. It wasn’t much of a shake, to be sure, as Los Angeles earthquakes go, but Paul was satisfied, Mrs. Klop­ steg was more than satisfied and Marie and Ruth Klopsteg both re­ ceived a thrill they’ll tell about when they get back home.

Publicity or The Sorrows of King Henry VIII A One Act Musical Tragedy

By Reed Williams

Scene; The court of Henry VIII. The king is on his throne. Beside him, Cardinal Wolsey, ladies, cour­ tiers, executioner, etc.

When the curtain rises they all sing, except the King.

All— This is the court of Henry, He is a noble King.

His Knights are hard as frozen lard.

And tough as any-thing.

King—I’ll say they are tough.

All— This is the court of Henry He’s King of all this land.

And at his beck, to fight like heck Ten thousand archers stand.

King—More than ten thousand.

The toughest two fisted, hard boiled babies that ever split a gizzard. Ah, here comes the Town Crier. Now we shall hear the news. (Enter Crier with bell and scroll.)

Crier—Hear ye. Hear ye. Hear ye.

King—We heard you the first time.

What’s new?

Crier—At Dover Town a dog bites a man.

King—Pooh, pooh. Is that the best you can do?

Crier—At Nottingham, a man bites a dog.

King—That is news. Did you hear that, folks?

All—Do tell. Man bites a dog.

That’s news. Imagine that. How did it happen? Whose dog? Will the dog recover? etc. ad lib.

Cardinal—Your Majesty!

This goes to show what this court most needs.

King—Speak out, oh Cardinal!

What moral have you to point from this rare novelty?

Cardinal—Just this. The interest which this quaint news arouses points

to the fact that our court needs a publicity man.

King—What is that? Some new form of jester?

Cardinal—No. It_ is — one — who can report the doings of the court to the people in such a way as to make them like it.

King—The idea intrigues me. Let us have an example of how it works.

Come thou Town Crier. Cry us the report of yesterday’s tournament.

Crier—Hear ye. Hear ye. Hear ye. Thus went the nine hundred and thirty-fifth tournament at the court of King Henry VIII. Sir Jughead overthrew Sir Ironshanks. Sir Pickelbean unhorsed Sir Jughead and Sir Fenderbender. Then Sir Swivelkick overthrew Sir Pickelbean, Sir Bump­ erdent and Sir Silverpill and won the tournament. After that the archers amused the hoi poloi by shooting at the butts.

King—That is that, What more is there to say?

Cardinal—No. There is no publicity value here, Let me introduce one of my bright young men.. Come adforward Tellum Plenty. (Tellum (T_” vances and falls on one knee before the King.) Here is a publicity man.

King—Rise, Tellum Plenty, and let me hear what you would say of yes­ terday’s tournament.

Tellum—I should put it more like this. The dawning sun of yesterday looked down upon the field of tourna­ ment vibrating with expectancy.

From far and near they came over hills and through the valleys, on foot and horse, people of all degrees, hurry­ ing to be in time to find standing room at the Super Colossal Tourna­ ment that King Henry so generously provided for his red blooded subjects.

King—That really sounds like some-

August, 1938

YE SYLVAN ARCHER

thing. Let’s have some more.

Tellum—Great shouts went up when the Queen and the noble ladies took their seats in the grand stands. The Queen wore—, say, what did the Queen wear?

King—Who cares?

Tellum—It is most necessary. The men come to see the fighting but their wives would never stand for it if it were not for the display of fine garments by the ladies.

King—Well then. I suppose I will have to appoint a court lady to make notes of these things for the Town Crier.

Cardinal—You said a royal mouth­ full.

Tellum—Then we will mention the names of the contestants in such a way as to shed glory on your favor­ ites. Those w'ho win in spite of royal disfavor, we will simply damn them with faint praise.

Now what King—Fair enough! about the archers?

Tellum—Why mention the archers at all? There is no one of consequence among them. Who cares if this or that son of the soil can shoot more arrows into the gold than his neigh­ bour? There is nothing there to help publicity.

King—Dammit.

You must make something of my archers. They are the backbone of the nations defense.

We would be sunk without them.

Tellum—Yes, yes. Your Majesty.

Common soldiers have always been, found useful in war, but nobody ever gives them publicity. It would be wasted.

Cardinal—Now if you would do like this fellow in Switzerland, Gessler, I think his name was. He had one of his archers shoot an apple off a boy’s head. Now that is what I call a publicity stunt. If you would get up some such gag as that— King—Bosh! Call the court paint­ er. I will have him make a picture of me shooting the bow and arrow.

Cardinal—You would only belittle yourself, if I may say so.

King;—You may not.

Tellum—The lance and the broad­ sword, these are royal weapons, but the bow— King—Silence!

Crier — Here comes the royal painter. (Enter painter. He carries

5

a candid camera and in every way resembles a sports photographer.)

Painter—You sent for me, your majesty?

King—Yes. I want you to paint my picture in the act of shooting the yew bow.

Painter.—It would make a more striking composition if you were lean­ ing on a lance.

King—I said shooting the bow.

Painter—Very well then, but where is the boy?

King—What boy?

Painter—The boy to hold the apple on his head.

King—I said my picture. Not some boy with an apple on his head.

Painter—But there has to be a boy.

I can’t paint a picture of an archer unless he is shooting an apple off of somebody’s head. I know what the people want. ’ !

Likewise hellity King—Zounds! dammity!

Take this presumptions popinjay out and beat him to a fraz­ zle. (Executioner seizes painter and hustles him out.)

I’ll have things my way or know the reason,. Whack him well! (°?

(Sound —'J effects cfftttz of ?• whacking and yelps of ‘ouch’ off stage.)

Ah, that’s the stuff! And now my fine-feathered publicity man, give careful heed. Next month I will meet at Calais with Francis I of France.

It is to be a political love feast that is to cement the friendship of the two nations. We will have field sports, music and feasting, tournaments, jousting and reveling. We will dress in raiment of silk and cloth of gold.

Set your mind to thinking up slo­ gans, songs and games that shall make our meeting go down in history.

What say you to the idea that we have dogs there and let some of the varlets bite them?

Tellum—Humph, yes, not bad. You have something there, but I think we can improve on it. I have already thought up a name that will put this meeting over with a bang. We will call it, “The Field of the Cloth of Gold.” How’s that? The Field of the Cloth of Gold.

King—The Field of the Cloth of Gold. That’s a honey.

I see you have the stuff of a natural born pub­ licity man.

I am going to leave everything to you. Make the high­ ways and bye-ways ring with the

The New York Archers New York City is no longer without its archery club! Through the direct stimulation and untiring efforts of Mrs. Myrtle Miller the New York Archers have organized and now claim a place on the sports map.

Mrs. Miller has for two years had the interest of New York City archery at heart. She has deplored the fact that there should be such a total lack of outdoor ranges. To her, every beautiful spot without its target was like a bow without an arrow. Suc­ cess began to come her way in May of this year. Early in the month she called together representatives of various interested groups and was as­ sured of their support. On May 20th she obtained an appointment with Mr. J. V. Mulholland, Superintendent of Recreation in New York City, and not only obtained the use of an out­ door range at Alley Pond Park but enlisted Mr. Mulholland’s aid on the club’s advisorv board.

The first official meeting of the New York Archers was held on May 31st at the Hotel Commodore. A con­ stitution was adopted and officers elected as follows: Mrs. Myrtle K. Miller, President; L. M. Partridge, vice-president; E. B. Miller, treas­ urer; and Louise R. Partridge, sec­ retary.

On June 11th the club staged a short demonstration and an afternoon shoot. It was a huge success with seventy people on the shooting line.

Mr. Carl J. Weese walked off with the men’s honors (a big surprise, of course). Dorothy Duggan chalked up the highest score for the women. We found after reading the club’s monthly bulletin that Mr. Chapin “shot five golds at 40 yards, the sixth arrow being decidedly in the green” At least so says Nick R. Bocker, editor of the bulletin.

Twice each week club shoots are being held at the splendid outdoor range which the park department has supplied for us. The range is a per­ fect spot for the first New York City Championship meet to be held this fall. We’ll be looking for you!

Forty-two archers have already joined our ranks and we know that there are many more looking wistfully

around for a chance to get the old bow out and try it again. With such an enthusiastic and capable leader as Mrs. Miller we can’t fail to grow. A range in every borough is our aim!

If you desire further information about the New York Archers write Mrs. Louise R. Partridge, 147 Thomp­ kins Square East, New York City.

Why Not a National Archery Museum There are hundreds of archers who have prize possessions, such as a bow made by Maurice or Will Thompson, an arrow that killed one of the Art Young lions, or the arrow that killed “old three-toe”, and many other price­ less articles (and I have several) who, in years to come, may let them get into unappreciative hands and eventually be destroyed.

I would like to see the National Archery Association start a movement to create a National Archery Museum where these keepsakes can be stored with the satisfaction of knowing that they will be taken care of in years to come.

Many archers have had the pleasure of viewing the Jessup collection in Balboa Park, San Diego, and there are many archers who have never heard of it. This collection is con­ sidered the largest and best archery exhibit in the world.

Perhaps there is a possibility that our N.A.A. could make some kind of a “hook-up” with these people and use Jessup’s collection to build on, or perhaps it might be started from scratch and I will wager it will grow rapidly.

Some day Dr. Klopsteg will have no more use for his priceless collection of books. He may pass them on to his relatives and friends, but even­ tually the collection will be broken if not put in a place of safe keeping.

The National Archery Associatiion is the logical organization to sponsor such a movement and I suggest that archers who have ideas or suggestions along this line, either have your let­ ters published or send them to Dr. Klopsteg, Chairman of the Board of Governors.

Editorial Your editor had the pleasure of a visit, recently, with Grover Gouther in the heart of that limited area in southwestern Oregon where grows that great arrow wood, Port Orford Cedar. He nearly made us cry how­ ever when he showed us a mountain­ side covered with down logs, enough arrow wood to supply the archers of the world with arrows for a century, and told us that in a few weeks it would be a blazing inferno that would leave not a stick unburned. And this is in compliance with state law which compells burning after logging op­ erations. Centuries-old logs that split straight as a die, logs that have lain and toughened in the salt air while giant trees have grown over them, going up in smoke. Such waste, just because it isn’t the type of timber that present operations demand.

But Grover is doing what he can about it and has out enough fine bolts to shingle his mother-in-law’s barn.

We wish to express our thanks to John P. Cuneo and his publicity com­ mittee for the splendid way in which they handled the publicity for the ■ 1938 national tournament as far as the archery magazines were concerned.

The copy sent to us was readable | and timely. It was mostly in short “ items that were easily worked in with other matter. We hope future pub­ licity committees will take the hint.

All—Ho for the archery range.

Come rain or snow, we’ll play the sport of kings. Let’s go. Let’s go.

Edwin Henry Kern The many archers throughout the country who have known E. H. “Dad” Kern personally or through correspon­ dence will be sorry to learn of the death of this venerable and beloved bowman on July 16, 1938, at his home in Coquille, Oregon. Mr. Kern was born in Kernstown, Pa., in 1859 and was one month and sixteen days past 79 years of age at the time of his death. He had followed surveying as a life profession, being a graduate of the Kansans State College.

“Dad” Kern had been an enthusias­ tic archer for many years and will be remembered by Oregon archers as the sponsor of one of the first archery tournaments in the state.

His home town paper says of him: “Mr. Kern had a kindly disposition, and did not make enemies, although he was a man positive in his opinions and never hesitated to express them.”

Pope-Young Field Archers The third annual shoot of the PopeYoung Field Archers of Oregon will be held on Monday, September 5th, near Sheridan as voted at the last meeting. Squirrel hunts will be held on Saturday and Sunday preceding.

Drive to Sheridan and follow the ar­ row-signs to the field, or contact Ted Hunter, Sheridan. The exact loca­ tion of the field is 1*/j miles east of Willamina and 3% miles west of Sheridan.

The rules and events committee ap­ pointed at Corvallis last September for the 1938 tournament reported as follows: Events 1. BATTLE CLOUT—36 arrows at 240 paces (200 yards).

Six-foot rings.

2. FLIGHT—One practice end and one end of three arrows for record.

3. WAND—36 arrows at 100 yards.

Wand—6 ft. by 2 in.

4. POPE-YOUNG ROUND—Three arrows at each target at not less than sixteen different animal and bird targets.

5. Prizes will be given in each event but only those shooting in all events with the required number of arrows will be eligible to place in any event.

Zell Bros., 639 S. W. Broadway, Port­ land, have promised a perpetual cup to be known as the Zell Bros. Trophy, to. be competed for each year and awarded to the grand champion of the tournament.

Tackle As it is the purpose of the associa­ tion to encourage the use of the bow and arrow as a hunting weapon, all events will be shot with hunting bows and broadheads. Each archer will check in at the beginning of the tour­ nament one bow and one or more sets of arrows. Each arrow must be a standard hunting broadhead arrow, weighing not less than 425 grains and must have steel blades not less than Vs inch wide. The same bow must be used for all events except in case of breakage.

Ladies and Juniors Ladies and junior boys are invited, to shoot. The clout will be reduced to

180 paces (150 yards) and the wand to 60 yards. The only restrictions as to tackle are that hunting bows and broadhead arrows with steel blades not less than Vs inch wide be used.

Junior boys class shall be limited to those 15 years of age and under.

General It will be noted that the rules of previous years have been modified to permit the use of any broadhead ar­ rows which meet the minimum weight and width of broadhead requirements.

Also that the clout distance has been shortened. These modifications were proposed to place the clout within reach of all contesting archers.

The tournament will be held in a beautiful little valley, fringed by scrub oak and surrounded by high hills covered with virgin old-growth firs. The valley is at present raising crop of oats which will be harvested by the time of the tournament and shucked oats in the stubble will pro­ vide bountiful feast for countless hun­ dreds of squirrels making their homes in the valley and anxiously awaiting Labor Day to match their speed and agility against the skill of the archers.

The upper end of the valley provides a comfortable camping place where bubbles a cold, living spring. An old, abandoned bam near the site, half­ filled with hay, will provide a soft bed for those archers whose aging or office-bred bones will not stand the rigors of sleeping on the ground.

Bring your families and have a real old-fashioned get-together picnic in addition to the serious matter of the contest and the hunt.

Pope-Young Field Archers of Ore­ gon. W. G. Williams, President; J. E. Davis, Secretary.

The success of the June archery school at the Teela-Wooket Camps has caused the directors to offer two one-week courses in archery in con­ nection with their autumn riding Camp. Twenty-one were registered in the archery class in June. The school of archery is under the direc­ tion of Mrs. Myrtle Miller, inter­ national archery champion.

Southern California Field Archers

By John L. Yount, Secretary

Our largest field tournament was held at El Segundo Sunday, July 24, under the auspices of the Art Young Archers of Los Angeles. There were 81 archers competing, which is not only more than in any previous tour­ nament but shows that field archery has its place in the scheme of things, for regardless of the number of major target tournaments held and to be held in California this summer the boys took time out to go to a field meet.

The first event of the day was the open flight. The ladies event was won by Jean Marsh with a shot of 317 yards, 2 feet, 7 inches; Cleo Giles was second; Skippy Crowell, third.

The men’s flight was won by M. B. Davis with 395 yards, 6 inches; sec­ ond went to Jack Low; third to Mor­ ton Mendells; and a special trophy presented by R. G. Morely for men’s fourth place in flight was won by Ken Wilhelm.

An interesting item in the flight is the battle of the century between Jean and Cleo. Jean has met Cleo three times in two months and the score stands 2 to 1 for Jean. Who will give odds on the outcome in the next tournament?

The broadhead event was won by Ken Wilhelm; second, Howard Hill; third, Emery Watts. This event was especially appropriate at this time with DEER season just around the corner.

Now, getting down to the business at hand. The substance of which field tournaments are made,—the double rovers. The winner, as usual, in the ladies was Glenn Curtis. She was rather closely pressed by Elizabeth Hill and Edith Tuttle, who won sec­ ond ' and third respectively.

The winning score was 101 points.

The Men’s Championship Class was won by Howard Hill, whose morning score of 211 gave him a commanding lead. Although he suffered consider­ able from “scorekeeperitis” when he had to handle the pencil, in the after­ noon, he finished with a good lead over Ken Wilhelm, who won the sec­ ond place silver bar.

First place in the Men’s General Division was won by Vincent Dil­ lon. This put him back into the Championship Class, the exalted class from which he slipped by doing a bit of rather rotten shooting up at Bakersfield last May. Second place was again won by Bill Lyon; third

by Harry Stotler.

No Meet in September It was voted to drop the September tournament, as we did last year, so that all could go hunting. If you haven’t a better place, try Wright­ wood. We did not get anything there last year but a lot of fun and good comradeship. However, we were free from gunshot noise and there were lots of nice looking >ady deer to watch. There is always a chance that some buck is going to prefer their company to the safety and solitude of the adjoining reserve. I believe it is the best we have and until we can get something better let’s use it. We can have a good time up there among the huge pine trees, go swimming in the lake and show the general public that we really want a place in which to hunt, and are entitled to it.

Next Totimament in November The next tournament will be held in conjunction with the annual turkey shoot at Redlands the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Make your plans early so nothing else will interfere.

The Roving Secretary Saw Calexico really going places with the following new members: Miss Georgie Downing, Carl Downing, sis­ ter and brother; and Elmer Little, as well as the old guard, Harry and Eugene Cook and T. S. Clyburn, mak­ ing the long trip to El Segundo. If some of you don’t know, Calexico is way down on the Mexican border be­ low El Centro with enough hot weather between here and there to stop all but the most enthusiastic.

Francille Watts shooting the high­ est score for the ladies and not win­ ning the medal for her score was un-official. She did not make the time limit. Too bad, Frankie, next time get someone else’s husband to (Continued on page 14)

The Lighter Side of Archery

By THE DOGHOUSE PHILOSOPHERS Seen at the Western

By George Fred Bergstrom bemoaned long and loudly the fact that he had had no previous tournament experience. I do not have the official attendance records, and by refusing to guess I will keep out of some doghouses, but I can truthfully say that it was by far the biggest tournament I have ever seen in Los Angeles.

Fred and the Elysians put up an unbelievably efficient performance.

They will doubtless find flaws them­ selves, and think they see how they could have done better. But if con­ centration on essentials counts, the essentials in this case being attend­ ance, I think we all had better pay strict attention to amateurs in the future. ! It took ingenuity, persis­ tence and a tremendous amount of work to turn the trick.

It bodes well for the National that, the Western should have been such an outstanding success. The wholesouled support of the Central Calif­ ornians was a big factor. The Bay region turned out in force, and used all its influence, which is great, to help matters along.

That John Cuneo was there goes without saying. John is the Berg­ strom type, quick to make up his mind, alert to new impressions, and boiling over with enthusiasm. He has had a tremendously difficult job, but we, who have seen him in action, have no fear of the outcome. (Re­ member that this is written before the tournament) California is ex­ ceedingly fortunate in the youthful spirits and fertile brains of its ar­ chery executives.

The reorganization affected at the 1935 National seems to have worked out all to the good. Goulet, Palmatier, Shenk and Cuneo; all young men and highly efficient. In the background we have Klopsteg and Louis Smith; seasoned veterans, whose balanced judgement and quiet effectiveness is never in doubt. We have a board of governors who work together in harmony, efficiency/and with a world of experience back of

them.

When a field captain shows up in shorts, that’s news. When Cash Sty­ les referred to aforesaid field captain as the Lady Catamount, it was prob­ ably jealousy. The Styles underpin­ ning was ventilated in the war, and it added nothing to utility or to beauty. No shorts for Cash.

We had another war aviator there, too; Capt. John Willard. John also served at the front, and the map of Willard wasn’t noticeably improved either by a crash in which he found himself involved.

Well, the badgered field captain changed his clothes at noon the first day. Stanley Cochems took occasion to announce over the mike that the strange gentleman in pants was Ches­ ter Seay. The shock might otherwise have been too much for us.

Cochems, by the way, has decided that he likes my doghouse. Says he has never had better company, and he is right. I spend so much time there myself that all the guests are carefully selected. Oh well, there is Joe Cosner—.

Incidentally, Joe is the new presi­ dent of the Western, which holds its next tournament at Phoenix. Person­ ally I can’t speak well of Joe, who has slandered me in song and story, but I count on Pearson and Ruddrow to help me hold our new incumbrance in check.

The Pasadena authorities relented long enough to let George Estabrook attend. It was no doubt purely an unfortunate coincidence, and I would­ n’t wish any reader to draw unwar­ ranted conclusions just because George’s escort was Sam Bailey; the head of the Pasadena vice squad.

After all, Sam is an archer, too.

I had to stay clear of the field archers at Westwood; I simply can not afford to be seen in the company of Volus Jones. Volus draws pic­ tures of dogs and labels the pooches with the names of my friends. I ar­ gued and argued with him, but Volus is a stubborn cuss. I would rather he was dodging blunts than that I should do so.

It twisted and turned like a thing alive. You will recall that I put the darned beast on the floor, held it down with both feet, and grabbing the cord with both hands, pumped it up and down until it was subdued. It was so hard to break in that it should have been named Broncho.

But the word contrary gives you a faint idea. Yet, once broken, I really had a bow. It is now ugly with age, but still a great bow. It has failed me only once, and on that occasion, last fall, it got so ambitious that it shot an arrow entirely through a rabbit and the rabbit outran me and got away.

Contrary has great power for its weight; most bows do. But it seems to me that age has something to do with it. I do not mean seasoning or drying; I mean age. Yet this is only an archer’s experience and Contrary is only one bow, and no one should be too ready to accept my opinion from one bow, one experience and no pretense of scientific exactness. The more I learn about bows and arrows, the more I learn that I don’t know much about them; and I wonder if that can’t be said of most of the things we get from Nature?

At the Western (Continued from page 12) Overheard at lunch: “No, girls, you are mistaken; Bull Montana is a few years younger and possibly a little handsomer than I am. I am Mr. Murphy, Mr. Jim Murphy, from Bakersfield. And my friend here isn’t Joey Brown either, it is Mr. Fred Woodley. Fred and I are partners in a badger game. Oh, that’s all right, girls, anybody is apt to get identities mixed. Thank you for the compliment though!

Six ex-National champions in at­ tendance, and the newspapers never gave us a break on that score. Gen­ evieve Johnson, Bea Hodgson, Audrey Grubbs, Ilda Hanchett, Ruth Hodgert and Gladys Hammer. Count them!

The best thing that ever happened to encourage flight shooting down here was the showing made by the dark horses Low and Davis. Now others will want to get in, too. Even Mrs. Bitzenburger and Cleo Giles beat 310 yards. Wait till our desert boys, who should have nearly perfect cli-

matic conditions, begin to limber up.

Maybe some day we will take Oregon or Ohio down a peg; they are getting too snooty for words.

Another dark horse welcomed at the Western was Miss Roberts. Winning against that kind of competition is a feat to be very proud of. Larry Hughes didn’t set any new records this time; he didn’t need to. When he shot that York without a miss— By the time this appears the National will be history and a pleas­ ant memory. In the next issue we will certify the Lower Bracket boys who duly qualified, and,—perhaps— do justice to some of the pretenders who tried to crash our select body.

Earl Grubbs clear over his head in the morning. He finished in the first four. My right hand is over my head and I hereby promise to shoot at the next tournament and put him in his place.

For Fred Woodley and Bob Faas the strain of the meet was too much.

As far as shooting was concerned they were just present, that is all, and Bob in the Champ. Class to.

Big news! Glenn Curtis beat his wife. Don’t know if he is better or she is slipping.
