A bit of explanation concernier, now ng the article Featured in the story is a duckling owned by Kent Steed. Also mentioned is Jockey Willie Steed. Both are grandsons of Jesse Hadden, who for many years owned and operated a farm at Utahn. Willie (Billie) Steed is a nephew of of DuMrs. Stephen Esauk, chesne. He was born in Duchesne, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Esauk, who separated later, the boy going by the name Steed, since his mothers remarriage. To proceed with the story as Hy Schneider relates it: it seemed the end of a perfect day following races at Hollywood Park despite the mud and water soaked pathways skeining the stables, row on row. Then it happened. FEATHERS FLY Feathers and blood began It was flying a battle - to - death between a small white duckling and a prowling gopher a really, realevery-which-wa- ly big y. one. The terrific commotion had brought groom Lou Zeller on the double-quicAnd this is the story as that horseman gives it: The duckling, jealous of the precincts of the feed room, flew into a rage when the gopher came up out of the ground on the prowl heading for the feed room. The duckling tackled k. the invader forthwith. Feathers began to fly. The gopher grabbed the duck by the beak and tore it into a bleeding mess. the duck threw his Suddenly, head up, lsing the gopher into the air. When the animal came down, he lit on the ducks back. In about two seconds he had torn a cnunk out of the ducks shoul- der. Blood began to fly. In de-fense, the duck backed and backed toward a large puddle of water. In the ensuing scuffle the duck grabbed the gopher by the back, which was the beginning of the end. In no time at all the duck had shoved the gopher deep down in the water. Held him iigKK. Tiny bubbles bubbled and The squirming Bopher was drowned. finally With a rubdown and feath er grooming plus treatment of his wounds, the duckling tri- umphantly marched to his box in the feed room on guard as usual for the night. RODE SOLANO as usual for the night. The proudest boy at the track yesterday morning was Kent Steed, tiny brother of Jockey Willie Steed. He owns the duckling. Got him for a nickel at Pomona Fair . . . and what a bargain the quacker has turned out to be. Mention of Jockey Willie Steed brings a reminder. Now on his honeymoon at the Willie has been doall ing right. As this is written , he has ridden two first, two seconds, one fourth. It was Willie who rode Solano ($128.20) the other day. He is the grandson of owner-trainer Jess Hadden, Utah horseman, long conductor of one of the most consistent stables on western tracks. Mrs. Esauk, of Duchesne, said so many people in the county had asked about her father, so thought thy would be inter-ested in the above story.

Red Cross Goal, Dates Are Set For 51 Campaign A goal of $85,000,000 for the 1951 American Red Cross Fund Several changes in the basketball rules have been made for the 1950-5- 1 season, with elimination of the rule the most prominent one; stopping the clock whenever a jump ball is called; and making it an infraction of the rule if a substitute attempts to enter the game before the clock is stopped, or before the ball is dead. According to Lawrell Jensen, high school principal, and an accredited official, prospective officials of the state were given a very thorough brief of the new rule changes in Salt Lake City last Friday. All predict a faster game even than last year. There will be no officials time-ou- t in the second and fourth quarters of high school games in the future. Every player charged with a personal foul must raise his arm above his head, or be found in viola-- i tion, the new rules say. Heretofore that has been a courtesy expected by players committing a foul. Another change that will probably make a player , hesitate before he deliberately fouls an opponent, will give the offended player an extra free throw, if in the opinion of the official the foul could have been avoided. High school basketball games will consist of four quarters. College games will be two halves, unless the teams agree to make competing contest four quarthe ters. campaign was announced today by General George C. Marshall, Red Cross president.
