Basilio Favored To Defeat Art Aragon‘ Tonight

LOS ANGELES (AP) —— Tough little Carmen Basilio remained the film choice to whip Art Am- gon tonight but a surprising surge of support for the local golden boy cropped up Thursday, Basilio. former world huddle- weight and welterweight charm- pion from Ch-ittenango, N.Y., was quoted a 3-11 favorite Thursday but the odds might change to 4-1 when they climb into the ring at Wrigley Field.

The 12~mund scrap, with the winner hoping for a title match with middleweight champion Su- gar Ray Robinson, starts at 11 p.m. ADT.

Pundits figure Aragon, often er- raltllc, may not have the ring equipment to score an upset and even his close admirers hesitate to risk their money on him.

I looked (at my watch while passing through Hazelbrook and figured I’dbeint‘imetoseealboutsin— linings. Moments later a tire went flat. The game was out. It was

a lovely afternoon so I ' to keep going and give the Old Home Lake a look - see. My thoughts.flcw backward as I wooded my way along the nar-

When the blue water showed hrough the spruce I mov-_ ed cautiously and pooped through ,a fringe of branches. I thou: the lake was as barre-n of birds as the Sahara Desert until I, spotted 7 ducks roughly 200 yards off the west end. They had their necks stuck in the air like a bunch of cranes and took off in a matter of seconds. They were followed by 9 others that were out of sight in a cove to my right. There was no circling, like ducks that. had been merely in the hope that the intrude.- woullld go away and let them set— tle . they pulled out in nothing flat in the direction of Pownal Bay.

I always prid- ed myself on spotting ducks or geese in this lake before they spotted me (so the obvious con- clusion was: someone else scar. ed them. Along the north side of this lake there is a flat, mossy shelf between the water and the spruce with no over — hanging fringe of bradken to hinder the ducks from hopping up. Before the season opens they use line as a sunning bank. This bank is roughly 200 yards long and I noted it was covered with drop- pings and packed down by hun- dreds of roosting ducks. Weather beaten feathers clung to the moss and surrounding bushes. Some of the droppings were bleached white by the weather but I figured the freshest were close to a week old. The oldest would be appro- ximately three weeks.
