Oltat Oatid Artifacts Reported by U. C. Men The discovery of the most ancient dated man-made artifacts so far reported in the western hemisphere has been disclosed t>y anthropologists on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. Implements fashioned by primitive man in about 5,000 B.C. were uncovered near Lovelock, Nevada, recently by university anthropology students working under the . direction of Robert F. Heizer, associate professor of anthropology. Dated by the new "carbon 14" method--a technique devised by nuclear physicists and the only method for really exact dating of prehistoric materials--wood spear shafts taken from the excavation site were determined to be about 7,300 years old. In the upper layers of the excavation site the archaeologists found quantities of artifacts such as basket and arrow fragments of relatively recent origin, dating back about 2,500 years. Deposits of bat guana at a lower level, in which the ancient spear shafts, spear points,- pieces of string, and evidence of campfires were embedded, were found to be 9,000 years old by the carbon 14 technique. A floor of lake gravels at the bottom of the site was estimated to be about 25,- 000 years old. From these findings and a survey of other sites in the area, the scientists were able to reconstruct the first reliable picture of prehistoric man's occupancy of the Humboldt basin.

WmI Scare*; fiiva Blanket* Extra Cart for Longer Llfo Treat your wool blankets with the gentle care that precious possessions deserive. Textile scientists of the U. S. department of agriculture have pointed out that U. S. production of wool this year is one of the lowest on record. Frequent airing of blankets In use not only is g ood sanitary practice but helps them last longer and oold their fluffy warmth and comfort. When a blanket is thrown back loosely so fresh air reaches both sides, the wool has a change to get back its natural springiness which makes for warmth. But care should be taken not to throw a blanket over anything sharp, such as a peaked bedpost, which may pierce or pull it, or on anything that may stain it. Loose bed springs, sharp metal corners or even roughened wood may also catch and tearJ blankets or other bedding. For best service and comfort blankets should be large enough to come up well over shoulders and still tuck firmly in the bottom of the bed. Short blankets often wear out early because they take so much pulling and strain. A blanket stays clean longer if the bed is made so that the sheet turns back over the top of the blanket 8 to 12 inches. If the sheet is too short, a strip of cloth, basted over, the top or the full length of the blanket, is good protection against soiling the wool. A covering over the blanket, or even a third sheet used on top, gives added warmth because it hold* still air in the fluffy wooL --; - ' The McHenry Shamrocks got off to a flying start last Sunday on ^Jieir home grounds when they squeezed out a 5 to 4 victory over Richmond in a 10-inning tussle. It might be pleasant, from a jtiome team standpoint, to recite Jthe goings-on of tjiat last, inning before looking over the happenings that finally led up to finishing touches. Howard Knox, playing his first game in Shamrock attire, led off the tenth with his third hit. ^Howard had two singles and a double iti five trips to lead the hitters of the day.) Bill Bulger's sacrifice moved Knox to Second. Dwyer was safe on a fielder's choice as Knox slid into third ^safely on a close play. Mc- Cracken ran for Knox. Nickie Freund pushed the ball along the first base line on a squeeze play and received credit for a hit. The ball was placed perfectly and Mc- Cracken was home standing up. Paul Freund started on the mound for McHenry. opposed by Gordie Miller. Neither pitcher had enough practice to stay in for the finish, but both performed ably during their ~*tay. "Sonny" Miller hurled the last six innings for McHenry and had what it takes in the pinches. Richie Miller took over for Richmond in th<* seventh and riidnt allow a hit until the tenth. Hurry Milling Catches To complete the picture at the start, we want to report that Harry Stilling was the Shamrock catchei\ It was a surprise move and Harry, came through like a veteran at the post. Richmond scored in the first inning when Winn drew a pass and scored on Connie c Miller's booming double into deep center. That blow of Connie's might be rolling until next week if it wasn't for a slow field as the result of ntany days of rain. Harry Stilling was safe on Vera Miller's error to open the second. Howard Knox slashed a hit to right and moved to Second on the throw-in. Stilling went to third on the hit. Manager Bolger's hit to center scored both runners. With two out in the fourth, Paul Freund walked both Pickering and Stilling. Oordie Millef's single to left scored Pickering and tied up the ball game at 2-all. Passes to ^ Sonny Miller and Gerry Larkin led to two runs in the fifth. Harry Stilling's hit to right field filled the bases. Two runs scored on a double to left by Knox. Richmond Tomes Back. But, it wasn't the kind of a ball game to be won easily. That Richmond outfit fought back into a tie in the seventh. Vern Miller led off with a single and Katzenburg drew his second pass. Winn's single to left scored Vern and moved Katzenburg to third. Richie Miller grounded to Dwyer at third and was safe on a fielder's choice. Katzenburg scored the tying run. Richmond missed a golden opportunity in their half of the tenth when Tilton hit safely to left and stole second. With nobody out and Gordon Miller at bat, the grandstand managers anticipated a bunt. Gordon hit away and popped to Conway at second. Then came the death blow. "Sonny" Miller caught Tilton off second and Larkin made the tag after a rundown. Twas quite a ball game. The weatherman hadn't allowed much chance for practise, but the teams put on a nifty brand of baseball. Each team had only one error and that's good whether* it be April or August. Dwyer , B.

Each team paraded 15 players before a sizeable crowd, new names appearing in each lineup. While the hitting wasnt too robust the McHenry defense left the impression that there is work ahead. In a review of the score book, one sees that 13 Merchant batters were set down on strikes while 5 Tigers whiffed. The Merchants received 3 bases on balls while the Tigers had 6 free rides. * Manager Howie Freulid led his team on offense with 3 hi's including a two-bagger. Bob Mc- Culla led off for McHenry and was on base three times with 2 Mts and base on balls. Next Sunday the Tigers meet the Shamrocks oa the Johnsburg diamond at one o'clock. The Merchants travel to Spring Grove for a game at tap O'clock. Johnsbnrg^; AJ. m- H. S. Meyer h- ; ...'^ 4 0 0 Huemann ' • • 0 A. Jackson -.ir. s 1 Smith <• B. Meyer , ' . * ' 0 H.
