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.

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."

T,d r,a00 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.
