SIDELINE SLANT S
by BILL DICKIE
DOUBTFUL
Sports Editor John Jarst|ul,
writing his daily sports column
"Time Out" in the Bremerton Sun
last Saturday, thinks "it is odd
that Shelton and the new Pen-
insula high school aren't in the
Olympic league" after comment-
ing that "it seems that a re-shuff-
ling of leagues and schedules
would be a good thing locally."
He goes on to say:
This year, North, Central and
South Kitsap and Bainbridge Is-
land form the southern division of
the league.
Peninsula high is a consolida-
tion of the old Vaughn and Gig'
Harbor schools. Attendance is in
the vicinity of 250 students, which
puts it on a par with most Olym-
pic league schools.
Peninsula high is located at
Purdy, just eight miles from South
Kitsap. I-],waver, the two schools
do not play. Peninsula plays in
the Pierce county league.
Shelton's football team this year
beat North Kitsap, champions
without a league loss in the Olym-
pic circuit. *Shelton is supposed to
have a good basketball team. It
long has been know for good
baseball squads.
Most of Shelton's present op-
ponents are more distant than
most Olympic league clubs.
When Vashon Island dropped
out of the Olympic to go into the
Lakeside league at the start of
this football season, the need for
other teams in the loop was ob-.
" vious.
rash,n, the celia," team in the
t Olympic, went unbeaten for most
of the year in the Lakeside circuit
and finished high in the standings.
The Pirates dropped our of the
Olympic loop, the story goes, be-
cause the competition was too
tough. Bethel. Mt. Si and Over-
lake are some of the teams in the
Lakeside league.
It is quite a strain on coaches
and athletic Bireetors to arrange
schedules with different oppon-
ents year after year. Conflicting
dates are the greatest problem,
for most schools slate their games
on Tuesdays and Fridays..
• The ideal situation would be to
have eight schools, all quite even-
ly matched and all within easy
traveling distance of each other.
The Olympic Peninsula league had
eight teams last year for football
but only seven after Vashon drop-
ped out.
The drawbacks of the league
have been a lack of balance of
W.lt.S. Elect. (2) Active Club (l.) power because of varying enroll-
Handicap 243 Handicap 336 manta bf member schools, and
W.Woods 4751 Gardner 458 travel difficulties. The trip from
L.Westhmd 505[ Williams 3921Bainbridge to Port Angeles, for

No doubt Olympic league offic-
ials would like to have Shelton
and Peninsula. But both of thes
schools would hesitate to drop out
of the other leagues, in which they
have participated for many seas-
ons. Shelton is ready. Peninsula
prrobably won't be ready for an-
other year.
On what Sports Editor Jarstad
bases his statement that "Shelton
is ready" this columnist has no
idea for a check with Principal
George llermes reveals that the
Highclimbers have no notion what-
ever of shifting their prep ath-
letic affiliations away from the
Southwest Washington confer-
ences in which they are currently
committed in football, basketball
and baueball.
It would be a step backward, or
downward, for the Highclimbers
to make such a move, for the
, Olympic League as outlined in Ed-
itor Jarstad's plan would not be of
the calibre of the Southwest Con-
ference by some little bit in bas-
ketball and baseball, although it
might offer a bit tougher football
competition than that of the cur-
rent Ceritral League in which the
Highclimbers play.
However, Shell on's natural
rivalries seem to lie more to
the Southwest that, they do to
the north, and with the excel-
tion of Raymond the traveling
distances are shorter than most
of the Olympic League trips
would require.
So, desireable as such an affil-
iation might' be for the Olympic
League schools, it doesn't appear
to be in the cards from the High-
climber viewpoint at any foresee-
able date in the future.
REPERCUSSIONS
Selection of All-Star teams al-
ways has repercussions and as
usual the announcement last week
of the All-State senior high school
football quad has been followed
by various comments by sports
scribes in various parts of the
state.
Last year Southwest Wash-
ington, as a district, felt rather
badly slighted in the All-State
sele.tions and there was much
dissatisfaction throughout the
areal over the choice.u.
This year the picture is a little
more pleasing to the Southwest's
optics, what with Buck IIaanmer
of Longview getting the head
coaching assignment and two
Longview players as well as Shel-
ton's Ken Cardinal and a couple
of other SW lads being selected
among the 28 All-State seniors.
Mike Contras, sports editor for
the Olympia, thought the choices
this year were much more favor-
able to the SW, even though Olym-
pia's favorite candidate, Bob Mc-
Cabe, received only honorable
mention.
On the other hand, Joe Randich,
sports editor of the Aberdeen
World, commented that "once
again the All-State selections will
have little to attract Grays Har-
bor fans to Seattle to witness the
All-Star game next summer... "
and goes on to point out that Dan
Fackrell, flashy Hoquiam hair-
back, was left off the All-State
squad despite the fact that he was
one of the only three unanimous
choices fro" the Southwest Confer-
ence all-star team, while the oth-
er two unanimous choices, Harold
llurn, Centralia end, and Leo Gll-
net, Longview passing sensation
both were chosen on the All-State
squad. Randich also thought Bob
Smethers, Aberdeen center, de-
served some consideration as he
was nosed out of the SW confer-
ence center berth only by a whis-
ker by John Adams of Longview,
who also was honored with an All-
State assignment.
Over at Bremerton the folks
don't feel the selections did jus-
tice to Dwight Scheyer, coach of
the ,Wildcat grid squad which a
poll of sportswriters throughout
the state voted the state's out-
standing high school team this
year, who was named chief assist-
ant coach to Hammer. The Navy
Yard City folks think Scheyer
fully earned the head coaching
nomination of the basis of his
team's great record this year.
SHORT SPORT SPOTS
Speaking of the All-State foot-
ball squad, Shelton's long Ken
Cardinal is the tallest man on the
28-player squad with his 6-feet
41/., inches of altitude.
Only bowling leaglte tn this
village which plans to split its
season this year is the Simpson
Logging Company pin circuit,
which winds up Its first half
schedule tomorrow evening, then
starts Its eight entries off from
scratch again when play re-
Shines after the holidays.
Even the usually timid deer are
becoming belligerent in this neck-
of-the-woods, judging from the
story L. D. Itack is relating. While
returning last week from a lodge
session in Olympia with Mrs.
Itak and a couple of other Shel-
ton ladies, the Hack automobile
was charged by a big buck near
Schneiders Prairie. It happened
in a dense fog, Mr. Hack related.
"We saw this big fellow, he must
have been at least a 5-pointer,
standing beside the highway. He
didn't move as we approached but
suddenly as we started to pass him
he lowered his head and charged
at us, striking the right front door
so tlard he knocked himself down
and scaring Mrs. Hack so much
she threw herself onto my lap.
We stopped as quickly as possible
and went back with a flashlight
to look for the buck but he was
gone, but we have dents in the car
as a souvenir of the Don Quixote
deer."

Lead poisoning and wounds are to bag, the lead problem will grow
causing the slow and painful lworse unless hunters in groups"
death of a great many ducks that I concentrate on measures to ira-
should survive to provide sport prove the situation.
James Sterling
for the *hunter.
Ayars, outdoor writer, reminds us
that whether a duck ends up in
the oven or rots in the smart-
weeds, it must still be subtracted
from our total waterfowl popula-
tion.
Increased mortality is caused
by lead poisoning from pellets
picked up by the bird with food
and grit, or by lead lodged in the
fleshy or muscular part of the
body because some trigger happy
hunter fired when the bird was
out of range, In either case, it is
almost certain that death will re-
sult.
In size and shape, lead pellets
resemble several important duck
food seeds and are very similar
to some of the pebbles that water-
fowl swallow to grind the food in
their gizzards. The lead passes
into the mestines with food and
is absorbed through the intestinal
wall with digested food. Passing
into the blood, the lead is carried
to all parts of the body and is
deposited In certain tissues, bones
and nerves..
Two measures for reducing lead
poisoning have been suggested;
artificial supplies of grit for feed-
ing places, or the induction of
artificial wave action might help,
but in mh cases these measures
are impractical. Another possbil-
ity is the manufacture of shot
that disintegrates in water and
decomposes readily in the ,gizzard
of the wateowl so that it passes
through the Dear Without Causing
lead poisoning. Up to the pres-
ent time, however, no satisfactory
substitute for lead has been dis-
covered.
Until a solution is found, there
is one practical way that hunters
can help: by scattering no unnec-
essary lead in the marshes. Hold
your fire until a kill is certain.
With fewer ducks in the fly-
ways and more huntet.s than ever
