September 25 was a most successful day for the new officers of Los Angeles lloo-Hoo CIub 2. In the absence of Snark Harold Cole, who was confined to his home due to illness, Vice-President John Osgood took over and presided like a veteran at the evening banquet. Don Gow, a number-one golfer in his own right, did'the score chore for the golfers as Harvey Koll toured the Eastern seaboard following the International convention, and Tom Burden, number one Hoo-Hoo sportsman, handled the Program chairinan job like an old pro. Chuck Lember, vice-president in charge of the door-prize department, distributed gifts to the lucky winners.

Fox Hills was jumping with sports events. The Dodgers were clobbering the Cubs in a thriller at Chicago (5-4) to take over first place from Milwaukee on a daytime TV program from Chicago; the Phillies stunned the Braves (6-3) at Milwaukee via radio during the banquet, and SC romped to a 23-O victory against Pittsburgh at the Coliseum even as two prominent Los Angeles sports personalities were giving the lowdown on the Rams and the Dodgers to the "Black

Cats" and their guests at the meeting. All of this-and 42 uats" the AII thlslumbermen still found time to shoot 18 holes.of.qolfTaking cognizance of the fight being made by the lionarted Dodgers, Chairman Tommy Burden first introduced arold "Lefty" Phillips, chief scout for thb Los Angeles hearted Harold ' " baseball club, who gave an intelligent resume of the baseball club's personnel and the fine young team in the making for the future edification of Dodger fans. Lefty is definitell a "baseball specialist," and not one Hoo-Hoo left the room during his impromptu, off-the-cuff talk.

interesting story-teller from 'way back. He secured his football "know-how" at Oregon and it is his firm opinion the Rams will win the 1959 championship. "If they don't,"' said Dick, "I am afraid Sid Gillman will not be coaching the darlings of the Southland come next season."

He gave inside information on how keen the competition is among the players to earn their positions on the permanent squad. He believes Bob Waterfield will make an excellent Ram head coach and throughout his talk he interjected humorous remarks covering his personal experiences as a pro football player.

You didn't show up for this big meeting? Weeelll-the only thing we can say is "you were the loser," because both Lefty and Dick could still be answering questions from the floor about their organizations, but time ran out and John Osgood had to shut ofi the water on account of the lateness of the hour. The club can stand more such outstanding programs and Tom Burden is the man for his new job. Better plan to be on hand at Inglewood Country Club, November 6. This also will be an outstanding event, with a Concat thrown in for good measure.

The surprise part of the program developed prior to awarding of the golf prizes. "The Three Hoboes," headed by Miss Cleo Heath, entertained the lumbermen with hillbilly music and humor. They were introduced by SecretaryTreasurer Bill Smith. but all of the officers seemed to be in on the act.

At this most successful meeting, everybody seemed to win a prize. Chuck Lember was giving away door prizes which included everything from cooking utensils to car seats and appliances. The lucky winners included Woody Toal, Tom Burden, Wes Mann, Freeman Campbell (he won (Continued on Page 74)
