Sport Shorts- From Britain

By ALLAN NICKLESON Canadian Press Staff Writer

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, May 31 (CP)-—S€B50I15 don't mean a thing up in the hocke’ hotbed of Scotland where a Cana ian navy team Just completed a post-season tour of six games witnessed by more than l6 000 screaming enthusiasts.

The boys are back at their train- ing centre Niobe now, telling of the swell times they had at the hands of the citizenry and of how, play- ing against picked Scottish teams. they won four, lost one and tied one. The defeat came at Dunferm- line where they were whipped 10-6 and the draw, 6-0. was in the last game at Kirkcaldy. The victories were registered at Paisley, Dundee, Ayr and Folkirk.

A smooth-working club, the Can- adian unit was led by such stal- warts as Sub-Lieut. Ron Perowne of Montreal, AB‘s. H. Millen of Winnipeg and F. Alf of Dau hln Man; Stokers R. Smnrt of Ca gary and R. Kennedy of Windsor, Ont.

Other team members included Leading Seainen K. Ross oi Schrei-

and A. J. Mulhem of Montreal. Lieut. J. P. Dewis of Canmore, Alta. and AB. J. Forbes of Port Colborne, Ont.

Prom mt. Lt. John Clare. former Toronto ncwspaperman now with the R.C.AJ" Public Relations, comes this bit:

“If a three-bagger with the bases. loaded is baffling to an English- man, think what a touchdown pass on a fake end run does to an Arab."

John writes from s bomber sta- tion deep in Tunisia that Canad- ians in the RAF. and American fliers have been putting on a bit of touch rugby. The boys compromise on Canadian and American rules by the simple procedure of agree- ing that the main thing is to get the ball over the goal line.

It's tough going, this runnin on sand without being bothered y l lot of committee-room rules.

Tl-ie airmen also play softball- and the Arabs don't know whlt to mlke of that game either. Trans- lated freel from Arabic, they think the f ying lads are "whlcky.

Looks- Like Twice In A Row For Ducks-

lt looks like another ood year for the ducks - - - twice a NW- For ten years. Mother Nature des- troyed ducks by the millions every summer. Last year she was the b188- est contributor to Ducks Unlimited: and it locks like - maybe - she has signed up for a two year coil-tract. But there are hazards - - - - - Crows and" magpies will eat more duck eggs and kill more young birds this summer than ever before in History. We are doing all we can. here. It locks to me that United States sportsmen will have to con- trol these pests - chiefly in the States centering upon Oklahoma where they winter.

Stubble fires are particularly dan- gerous this summer. Last fall. in straw was heavy and the com ines left veritable jungles in the stubb fields making very attractive nest- ing sites for ducks and upland game

There are relatively safe from drought. al ough other draw- backs tend to limit waterfowl in- creases under these conditions. ‘flhis spring. thousands of potholes that have been dry for len years cOntlln some water.

But - if Mother Nature is stingy with her precipitation din-inc J1me and early July; and sets the thermostat for 100 F with plenty of dry winds - the duck losses from drought this summer will still be enormous.
