Flight Test Leads
SD Handicap Loop,
Overdeer Is High
Following are a few Convair
SD bowling highlights:
In the Handicap League, Flight
Test leads with six teams in the
contender spot. John Overdeer
has high game of 246 with high
series of 626 going to Mike
Brooks. High team is held by
Experimental as is the high team
series of 934 and 2549. In the
women’s bracket, Erma Taylor
has high game of 215 and Alma
Fellhauer high series of 479.
High bowlers are: Mike Brooks,
John Overdeer, M. Wolfe and
Chuck Digmun with averages
over the 170 mark.
In the 800 Scratch League,
Inspection is in the lead with
Experimental and Machine Shop
within striking distance. Bob
Mansfield bowled a nice 637
series and is leading in that di-
vision. High game is in the hands
of W. D. Schackel with 254. High
team game is held by Inspection
and high series by the Handi-
capers with 993 and 2683 re-
spectively. Bowlers above the 170
mark are: M. E. Walker, Bill
Davison, W. D. Schackel and
Bob Mansfield.
In the 825 Scratch League,
Production Control has regained
the lead after losing it to Ver-
sion Proofing for a couple of
weeks. High game and high
series is held by Max Guess with
a super 277 game and 627 series.
Max Guess’ game is the highest
game bowled in any of the Con-
vair leagues this season. His
bowling is keeping the Produc-
tion Control team in the lead.
High team series is held by
Contracts with 2713 and high
game is in the hands of Wood
Shop with a game of 999. This
league has developed some re-
markable efforts with Orlo Tem-
pleton and Max Guess with games
of 255 and Roy Schultz and Ed
Vaile with games of 248, H. R.
Juvrud with a series of 600, D.
W. McDaed with 619. Bowlers
above the 170 average are: Mel-
vin Smith, Charlie Martin, Rudy
Malo, Arnold Springer, Mike
Valinski, O. Nunmaker and Ralph
Weide.
In the 850 Scratch the race
is wide open with the Misfits
having a three-game advantage.
This league has some fine bowl-
ers and averages in the 170
bracket are a dime a dozen. Dom
Palumbo is still holding high
game of 268 and Elmer Aus high
series of 652.
RICHARD LEWIS and catch
SD Angler Lands
125-lb. Sea Bass
For a thrill, try catching a
125-pound black sea bass (Jew-
fish) from a 14-foot rowboat.
Richard Lewis (Dept. 25 SD)
knows that thrill because he
caught one recently off La Jolla
while fishing with G. Williams
and John Ratz, also of Dept. 25.
The fish was 56% inches long
and 36% inches around. Lewis
caught him on a 40-pound test
gut leader and landed the fish
in 25 minutes.

Buck Is 9-Pointer
In Texas But Only
4-Pointer in Calif.
In a letter to CONVARIETY
this week, J. T. Shultz (Dept. 27-
3, SD) took exception to decrib-
ing as “nine points” a deer whose
picture appeared in the Jan 5
issue. The deer was killed in
Texas by J. C. Gunter, (Dept.
140 SD). Schultz writes:
“Showing due respect to all
Texans and their ability to ex-
press fact and fancy, I must dis-
agree . . . From the picture I
see a three point buck or possibly
a four point (one may be hid-
den). The only way you get a
‘nine point buck’ is by counting
the points on both sides of the
antlers and the eye guards. This
practice is strictly taboo in Cali-
fornia ... In the bear state we
hunters are modest and count
only the points on one side—the
side with the largest number.
m ^
f , M
This does not include eye guards.
So in the future—at least in the
San Diego edition—please count
the points the way we do in
California. This will save a lot
of arguments among nimrods and
it will show the paper is ‘on the
ball’ and sporty . . .”
Schultz’s interpretation of Cali-
fornia game laws was sustained
in every respect this week by
Tom Smith, California Fish and
Game warden for the San Diego
area. After examining a photo
of the Gunter buck, Smith stated:
“In California this would be a
four point buck — but it’s in
Texas!”
M. H. Boone, Texas state game
warden at Ft. Worth informed
CONVARIETY: “In Texas we
count everything on a deer’s ant-
lers that protrudes. This in-
cludes eye guards.”
In the accompanying photo, the
eye guards appear as Nos. 4 and
5. Point No. 9 is hidden by Gun-
ter’s hand but is nevertheless
present. As the deer was shot in
Texas, it is, therefore, a nine-
point buck. Doubtless, had it
been transported to California, it
would have lost five points!
