HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1950-03-16, Page 2came a game played against Syra- cuse in heavy heavythat mud; so t t the first half ended in a scoreless tie. Thorpe, in his efforts to run the ends, had been stopped in his tracks, So he just started blasting straight down the middle, the final score being Carlisle 38, Syracuse 0. * * * More than that, Jim discovered in this game that line -crashing was plenty of fun; and from then on he was a quadruple threat. He had had few equals as a punter, boom- ing the ball downfield for sixty or seventy yards, with plenty of height to allow his tacklers to get down under it, and placing it with un- canny accuracy, for one thing. Tor another, he was a field goal kicker par excellence, whatever that means. In beating Harvard 18 to 15, Thorpe booted four 3 -point- ers, the last from the 48 yard line; and one of the added attractions, when he appeared later as a pro- fessional, was large James going out to the centrefield stripe, at half time, with a dozen or more foot- balls. These he would proceed to kick alternately over the opposite crosspieces, making this difficult stunt appear as easy as shooting fiah in a drain pipe. * * His ghostlike openfield running was helped tremendously by three tricks he had developed. He had a change of pace that was bewilder- ing, and his ability to stop on the proverbial dime left intending tack- lers floundering on all sides. If a tackler got a bit closer, he had a straight arm that was—unlike others we have seen—perfectly legal, yet which hit like a battering ram. And if a tackler got still closer; Thorpe had what have been termed the most highly educated hips in sports history. No footing, he could stun a man with the swing of his hips; in fact, he frequently did. y * * Which will have to be all, at least for now, regarding Mr. Thorpe— except this. If it's true that he's going to appear this coming season as an assistant coach—and prob- ably perform his half time drop kicking specialty — he'll be well worth going a Sabbath day's jour- ney to have a look at, Fifty years from now you'll be telling your great grandchildren that you saw the best that ever pulled on a sweat-shirt—and they won't be able to tell you any different. 1 Champs Take The Pieltl'—The world champion New York Yankees head for the field and their first spring training session of the year. The Yanks' great Joe DiMaggio (center, With glove) is one of the first players on the diamond at St. Petersburg, Fla. SPAT 1TCtc It looks as if these athletic popu- ,19s'ity polls might be of some prac- 14eal use after all—some use, that 3a, outside of providing weary eporte writers with handy space - Mere. Since Jim Thorpe was voted 3o be not only the greatest foot - bailer, but also the greatest athlete 01 the half -century, there's a move gra foot to give the big Indian some ad the credit—and a little of the gash—ha richly deserves. a They're agitating for the return so Thorpe of the Olympic medals .end trophies rudely wrested from Airs when A horrified Amateur Ath- letic Committee learned that Jim Aed, at an earlier date, not only played baseball under an assumed name but also—the cadl—accepted payment in cash for so doing. * * * The only difficulty about this is that nobody seems to know exactly where those priceless mementoes are located now, and we doubt if Thorpe is worrying very much, one way or the other. "A kiss on the hand is very thrilling, but a dia- mond bracelet lasts forever!" said the young lady in 'Gentlemen Pre- fer Blondes'; and Jim Thorpe wasn't t o first --nor will he be the last athlete to discover that something you can exchange for hamburger or groceries is often preferable to all the engraved athletic bric-a-brac you conk! stuff under Ringling's Big `Fop, * * * So, as sue said, we don't believe Thorpe is losing much sleep over when, if ever. those trophies are returned, IIe always did have a way of taking things in his stride. "You, sir," said the King of Swed- en at the conclusion of the afore- mentioned Olympics, "are the greatest athlete in the world." "Thanks, king," was Mr, Thorpe's simple and dignified reply. And if, (luring the past twenty years or so, Big Jini has sometimes thought himself a bit shabbily treated by a sporting world that once hailed his every move, he's kept it to himself and gone about his business without bellyaching. r 4 * If Thorpe had been a bit more vocal *bout himself and his doings, chances are he'd never have conte down to gatekeeping in a Holly- wood movie studio as a means of existence. But he always preferred deeds to words; and getting an interview out of him was about as vew.arding as trying to' pull a hippo's teeth with a nutpick. "What 'Wes the most serious inury you ,suer got in football?" a reporter once asked him. Instead of coming mut with a catalogue of breakages, Contusions and stitches, the Indian zaerely shot back another query. "I-Iow could anyone ever get hurt playing football?" he asked—and It was a sincerely -meant question. Pop Warner, athletic director of the Carlisle Indian School, was the man yho first spotted Thorpe—and who developed him, so far as any- one could develop anything that was close to perfection from the start. Jim was just 15 years old and a hurdles race hael already started when Warner saw him get up from the sidelines, take off after The leader, and beat him handily. And 'Thorpe hasn't even wearing athletic trunks or proper shoes. That was Jim's start as a track - end -fielder. :From then on he used to put on what were practically one-man shows of an almost in- credible nature. Carlisle would schedule a dual athletic meet with some other college ---generally one 'front double to ten times its own size So Jinn would spend a re - Wed afternoon '.c inning the sprints, hurdles, broad 1111110, high ,rump, sh,tpnt and s f'ottple of other ev (!n+ *tido))) tern Than ROM). 4' -r ek (Inept, .ta Kee, and s(udetines t:atele•m, 11 ;U'V plan ever under- Stoocl low handle 11110, it was Warner, Vet len used to drive Pop alnnI t nra41 tl butes, Tfnr a long fiin r t\ st nr:r , 1 1 ,'t persnade Jim to r1, any Int plunging, "Why run nt•9' +,.yr t.4' t I "1I 8;111 con c tet rl'n1 inzist.

FRONT As 1 look out the window, I see s. • young blizzard swirling, and it looks as if the driveway will be drifted at least three feet deep before eve- ning, Well, thank goodness, the son and heir has a heavy date to- might, and, will have to. do the shovelling—or else. So, let's think about something more pleasurable --strawberries, for inatanee. • * * It may not be news to you— although it was to me up 'til a day or so ago—that strawberry growers in many places have found some- thing that will do a better job of weeding, and a cheaper one, than anything previously discovered. It's geesel Yes, GEESE—the plural of goose. 'p * * Last year, Out in the State of Washington, a farmer named Theo- dore Berry put 16 geese on his weediest three acres of strawberries. Those geese cleaned that three acre patch of all sorts of weeds—even quack grass—and they never even e touched a strawberry leaf. * * * Those three acres made a good profit for Berry. The year before he had spent $500 hand -weeding then, and still the yield was so low that he lost money. * Needless to say, Berry started looking for more geese. He couldn't find any, so he hatched out a batch of goslings in an incubator.. This year, he'll have 75 geese weeding 45 acres of berries, * * * Geese also have been used for strawberry weeding by growers in the berry area around .Paducah, Kentucky. * * * "To find out why a goose will eat crab grass, saw brier, wild parsley, pig weeds and practically any other kind of weed you can name, and not touch a strawberry plant you'll have to ask a goose or a gander," says W. W. Magill, extension horti- culturist. * * * (;'rowers down that way keep the geese in the fields until the berries are ripe. They won't touch green stems or berries. After the crop is picked, the farmers return the geese to the field. * * * Most growers put up a simple range shelter about three feet high, consisting of four posts wibh cross bars to support the boards or straw to shade their feathered weeders in hot weather. They also provide plenty of drinking water and a small amount of shelled corn. * * * Theodore Berry has tried geese in raspberry patches as well as strawberries and says they are bet- ter than hand weeders. Any breed of geese will do. * * * But don't put thein among your currant plants, he warns.- They like currants almost as well as a nice piece of quack grass. * * . * • Well, -there you have It—and it townds like something worth giving a trial. And if it shouldn't work out—well, personally, I'd rather carve a hunk off a nice roast goose than sit down to all the strawber- ries you could crani into the Niagara Gorge. * * * Millions of dollars are spent an- aivally, on fertilizers of various sort. But it's surprising how many folks don't get the most out of the money they spend just because they don't know how to apply those fertilizers. * * South of the border, state agricul- tural colleges, in conjunction with the National Fertilizer Association, have been conducting tests over a period of many years. I'In passing along to you some of the recom- mendations made: * * * For Hay and Sod Crops These include pastures and alf- alfa. Drill the fertilizer three to six inches deep, either before or at the time of seeding. If you're making a very heavy application on hard, atony ground, and have trouble keeping the drill deep enough, plow down about half the fertilizer and drill in the rest before or during seeding, Top dressing in early fall; late winter, or early spring, with a grain drill or spreader, helps keep a stand, * ' * :h For Small Grains Drill the fertilizer in the furrow with the seed, While the fertilizer may reduce germination slightly, it isn't serious, and yields are higher than when the fertilizer is broad - cats or drilled before or after seed. ing. Apply nitrogen as top dressing in late winter or early spring, For Potatoes If you're using more than 1,000 pounds per acre, and your soil is heavy, save 1,000 pounds for appll. cation at planting, Work any ',mount over that into the seed bed before pleating, At planting time, place the fertilizer in bands two inches to the sides and slightly be- low the seed pieces: (Tht two hand* armlet be about six.inrhds apart).
