Earl Walsh SO I HEAR Sports Editor % Eddie Wittrock brought us a nifty item from the Art Fair. Dated 1904, the hand written enciled note reads as follows: "The one characteristic an Irishman admires in a woman, above all others, is courage." (They don't mind a good cook, either). .Had "no >idea Harvey .Nye's .molasses paint would attract so much attention. Harry Dean wants the franchise. Just take your place in the line, men. Our Harvey knows when he has something good and isn't going to be rushed. When the rain poured down on Monday, we looked out the window and remarked that it was really coming down. One of our smart office girls came back with, "That's the only way it ever comes, isn't it?" Next time the clouds gather, we are going to observe that a storm is blowing UP. See what she will do with that one. "JACKIE" GUFFEY If our first editor, "Mose", could come back and see how this newspaper is put together in the modern way, he would wonder what became of the printers ink, the ink smeared aprons and the clanging old machinery. But, "Mose" could look over in one comer and see an old line-o-type machine with a familiar operator hitting the keys. Yep. "Jackie " Guffey, a holdover from the old days is still at the controls and smilin' through. "Jackie" was always a top operator and a great favorite with her fellow workers.

Haven't heard fr&m our pate the Cub fans lately. Must aw be out of town. Just when we were convinced those Cubs were for real and planned to go see them play ball, somebody pulled the rug out from under them. We plan to see them, anyhow, and will let you know about our scouting expedition. Pitchers today seem to aim for that outside corner most of the time and catchers set up a target to let the world know where he wants the ball. Pitchers are so used to this that when they pitch inside they hit the batter all too often.

In his junior year, Pruiett was switched to offensive left guard and won the starting job. As a starting guard on last year's Michigan State U team, he also kicked 16 consecutive extra points and a 37 yard field goal. On occasion, he was also used defensively, one of two players on the Spartan squad to go both offensively and defensively in recent years. To cap his college career, Mitch played in the 1967 Blue-Gray game. When asked where he would be used by the Rifles, Coach Gene C ichowski answered,' • Be-., cause of Pruiett* s speed apra size, we may try him a£ fallback. Along with Bill Bodle, Pruiett could strengthen our ground game considerably. With Flinn or Tommy Myers at Quarterback and Warren Nicholas at flanker-back, we hope to have a more varied and balanced attack." Dabiero, Rifle general manager who signed Pruiett, commented that he worked hard to sign the 5'11", 205 lb. Pruiett. Because of his experience at fullback, guard, linebacking, and kicking, he will be a great asset to the club. Pruiett intends to work and reside in the Waukegan area.
