Ithow was that the rocks were
somplee of core from the hole
and these were just what the
Young scout wanted,
In seismic ecouting, the scout's
personal dictum is "FollOw that
crew!" He gets to knOW what
company, and what crew is &-
nig the seismic "shooting" by
noting the small colOred flags
put up along the roadside to
mark shot holes. He may follow
the operations of nine or 10 Om-
,Paniae et a time, plotting on a
township grid-map the spacing
Of the shots. Often a farmer tells
him where the bright little rib-
bons are, When the widely-
spaced shot holes of "recOnnais-,
sense" shooting give way to
closely-spaced "detailed" sheot-
ing, the scouting gets keener; he
recqrds the mole depth, powder
used, opearting and contracting
firms and other facts to get as
clear a picture as possible;
Most impOrtant, the seismic
scout gets to know whether the
crew he's follwing has mapped
ut any anmalies undergrund
' fime'tins where it may be trap-
ped. "We often know of an
anomaly six months before the
bits are in," says Huffman.
With some 80 seismic crews
working in the area south of Ed-
Menton alone, it's a big job for
" a few scouts. They often fly
eyer the district to pin-ppint
operations, then follow up by ,
car on country roads and, finally
on foot.
When the scout turns his at-
. tentien to "deep-hole" drilling
• he's 'expected to bring, back in-

While the field scoots are the

It has also been known in

about the way they differentiate
between the "Gentlemen" and
the "Players"—the latter being
the lads who take dough,.

The MCC is an aristocratic
body, When its, members; all
amateurs, play a picked side of -
leading professionals, the! game '
is known to this clay as Gentle-
me' versus Players.
The MCC .is a self-aPPointed
authority ,governing the nation
al game. It appointed itself in
1787, It is also probably atlite
the most difficialt club to , join
of all the diub's in 2ngland:

-not go as "England" but simply
as "the MCC."
It might be conchnled that
membership is rated' more high-
ly than knighthood. Sir Jack
Hobbs,' the master professional
batsman of all, time, was made
a knight but he could not be-
come even an honorary mem-
ber of the MCC until long after
he had retired from the game.
Dr, W. G. Grace, the most fa-
mous and fabulous Victoria
'Cricketer,was never made a
knight at all, lie was a member
of the MCC already.
' Len Hutton was the first pro-
fessional ever to captain the na-
tional side. He was, elected to
captain the recent MCC tour to
Australia 'by only one, vote.
Even though captain he was note,
and. could not, then be a member
of the club. But lie has proved
the most successful captain of
the Century. '
The change' in the. rules of the
IVIaryiebone club" was made spe-
cially for, him, It may be seen
as,,an expression of the English
pride in the resurgence of the'
national' fire in Sport, and also
in greater crucibles than sport..
And, aptly,. oddly, wisely, it
is the final admission of some-
thing the English have really
known for a long time—that a
Player can also be a Gentleman.

when he was 13, The prize was
.a cake. Eddie had to' giVe a 10
per cent "slice" to the friend who
talked him into trying—leis first
"manager." Later, on, ,though,
there were times whene didn't
even win a cookie.
Once he was trying to get on
radio. He did 10 auditions 'for
CBS for various shows within a
few weeks. Not one paid off.
Another time ,he was singing on
four radio shows in Philadelphia
for a total income of $18 a week.
Johnnie Ray left his Oregon
home in Jan. 1949, to try and
crash Hollywood. He couldn't '
even get an audition at the stu-
dios. He would make $7.50 oc-
easionally for a night's singing
at a cafe,
He Survived by working as a
bellhop, carhop, soda dispenser
and other odd jobs, For a while
he was a night-Chit) pianist Work-
frig for tins only, During tile
entire year Of 1949 his income
was $500, He remembers that
mostly he ate coffee and Muffins:
