And Hoiv’s Your Spine?

By Paul H. Gordon, Beacon, New York

-

This spine or rigidity testing busi­ ness threatens to grow into another of those delightfully scientific ask-me-asimple-ouestion and I’ll-give-you-acomplicated-answer affairs.

When I asked Forest Nagler re­ cently for a snap of a spine rig em­ ployed by him, he wrote: “ . . there is nothing mysterious about a spine tester. A six inch rule and a two pound weight, either being in any con­ ceivable form, will do all that any spine tester can do ... I believe that it is easier to use a fixed weight and rate the spine in deflection than it is to use a fixed deflection and rate the spine as weight. However this is only an opinion, as either will answer the purpose and both results are ac­ curately interchangeable."

(Empha­ sis my own.)

This is something that archers gen­ erally may not understand. The hue and cry for a uniform system of standards is quite as pointless as ex­ cessive zeal for the acceptance of a particular form of tester. Because an exact mathematical relation be­ tween the two systems of testing docs already exist. Just visualize them side by side.

When you drop a fixed weight on shafts of different rigidity they nat­ urally “deflect” to various readings.

If shaft No. 1 is twice as strong as shaft No. 2, it will deflect only half the distance No. 2 does, load being equal. Conversely, if you test them with the uniform deflection tester, No. 1 will require twice the load that No. 2 does to get the deflec­ tion “point”.

Realizing this, all you have to do— if you favor a unifom^^teflcction i tester—is select a definition distance that won’t strain th] shafts, blace your blocks the ] inme disi disfcnce apart as for the mo] ^KSSKixcd ■al weight tester (26 incj ■unlew you don’t mind a lot of con >licj^^Hniathematics) and hook inrb. other system at any one reai ling point, From there on you by simple algebra, lay down tjt table rating for any draw f >ow and find that it proves ictly.

You may gather by this time that we also favor the uniform deflection tester. The one we use is plenty different from the Potter and Macquarrie job.

(The possibilities are, in fact, infinite. I’m waiting for first news of the application of human hair, litmus paper or the photo-elec­ tric cell.)

However, here’s what the dingus looks like.

• ‘-Vi

Pl

11 Blocks—as with the Nagler-Rheingans method—are 26 inches apart.

In this rig the shaft is drawn up­ ward to a needle stop (deflection point) 1.5 inches above the line on which the shaft engages the blocks.

The cord that draws the scale that lifts the shaft in the ring that we built passes over the little pulley at the top of the stand, down the back, and runs forward through a soaped groove. To test, put the scale’s hook under the mid-point of the engaged shaft and draw the cord forward until the shaft rises to touch the needle.

Read the scale.

And this is how readings under the two systems compare: After Nagler & Rheingans Bow’s 2 lb. Load, Draw Force Blocks 26 in. apart 1.300 Inches ....................... 20 lb. .650 Inches ....................... 40 lb.

Southern California Field Archers

By John L. Yount, Secretary Just another of life’s disappoint­ ments. Your secretary had to miss the Bakersfield tournament and then, even worse, had to listen to a lot of stories about the fun he didn’t have.

From all the talk the secretary is pretty certain that either the gang is trying to make him feel much worse by reaching new heights in tall story telling or those Bakersfield archers who were responsible for the May tournament did a mighty fine job.

You notice I have just mentioned the tournament, as. not being much of an eater, I don’t believe the secretary would have been interested in the real old fashioned western barbecue.

That is—NOT MUCH— Oh, well, anyway here are the results: Championship Class: Howard Hill won the gold bar for first place with a score of 303 points, and Bob Faas received the silver bar for second place with 287 points.

In the Men’s General Division: Ken­ neth Jones, a new member, won the coveted Championship Medal because of his high score in this division. He now becomes one of the exalted six.

Watch your step, Ken, and see that you stay there. W. A. Lyons, won another second place red ribbon for 229 points, and Bernie Ahman, an­ other third place ribbon with 225 points.

In the Women’s Division: Medals are now being given and Mrs. Jean Marsh won the gold medal, score 119; Mrs. Mabel Wilhelm, silver medal, score 98; Miss June O’Neal, bron.'e medal, score 76.

The next regular bi-monthly meet of our association will be July 24 at El Segundo. We archers will have a heavy summer of shooting as the Southern California Archery Associa­ tion (the target organization) holds its two-day annual tournament in Redlands June 11 and 12. The Nat­ ional Archery Associataion has its five-day annual tournament in Aug­ ust in San Francisco, and the Western Association holds a two-day meet in Los Angeles, July 3 and 4.

With all these multiple days of shooting a one-day tournament may

be something of a novelty, especially when it is field shooting. So let’s all be on hand and see what the Art Young Archers have in store for us.

The Lower Brackets

By George That Bakersfield bunch always finds some way to cheat justice, They all claim membership, but when it comes to checking up on them they either turn on the sprinklers or spring some other shenanigan. This time I thought I had them pinned down in a photograph, but some parked themselves in the shade and some in the sun. From the print you can’t tell if they are Snow Whites or Coal Blacks.

Never mind, this time they are going to get what’s coming to them.

I have turned them over to the tender mercies of Volus Jones, who in addi­ tion to being one of our crack field archers, is by profession one of Walt Disney’s artists.

Volus will show what’s what in the next issue. I have taken all I am going to to take from that crowd of—well, wait and see!

Register now for the 1938 National at San Francisco. Send your entry to Louis C. Smith, secretary of the N.A.A., 77 Franklin Street, Boston.

Golden Gate Park is near the Pa­ cific Ocean and in summer the cool breezes very often drop the tempera­ ture to 70 degrees.

It is recommended that the archers coming to the National bring sweaters to wear during the day, and coats for the evening events.

“Chief” William John Compton

By Ray Hodgson, San Pedro, California

“Chief” William John Compton was born in Michigan in 1862 and died suddenly on Monday, May 16, 1938, of a heart attack. He was adopted by a Sioux Indian tribe and spent his early boyhood days roaming the plains of Nebraska and the Dakotas, where he learned, first hand, the use of the bow he loved so well. He came to California 38 years ago and has de­ voted much of his time to lecturing

on archery. He lectured at San Fran­ cisco and at Chaffee Junior College, Ontario. He was an outstanding in­ structor in archery and was a life member of the San Pedro Archery Club.

He was the last surviving member of the three adventurous bow­ men, spoken of in Doc Pope’s book as Chief and Doc and Art. He loved the poem entitled “The Cowflboy’s Prayer”:

“Oh, Lord, I have not lived where churches grow I love creation better as it stood That day You finished it so long ago, And looked upon Your work and called it good.

I know that others find You in the light That sifted down through tinted window panes Anl yet I seem to feel You near tonight In the dim quiet starlight on the plains.

I thank You, Lord, that lam placed so well, That you have made my freedom so complete, That I’m no slave of whistles, clock or bell, Or weak-eyed prisoner of wall or street.

Just let me live my life as I’ve begun, And give me work that’s open to the sky, Make me a partner of the wind and sun And I won’t seek a life that’s soft or high.

Let me be easy on the man that’s down, Make me generous toward all, I’m careless sometimes, Lord, when I’m in town, But never let them say I’m mean or small.

Make me as big and open as the plains, As honest as the horse between my knees; Clean as the wind that blows before the rain, Free "as\he hawk that circles down the breeze. .Forgive mia Lord, when sometimes I forget, You know the reasons that are hid.

You know ■he | things that gall and fret, You knoy- ’me better than my mother did.

Just keep an eye on all that’s done or said, „Amd right me when I sometimes turn aside, And tide me on that long dim trail ahead, That retches upward toward the Great Divide.”

The Lighter Side of Archery

By THE DOGHOUSE PHILOSOPHERS

A Full Day Hello!

Police station? Captain Murray? This is the doghouse office.

Your homicide squad busy? I thought not. Think you could persuade El­ liott and Roberts to take their feet off your desk long enough to sup­ press a riot in our stockade?

How many killed, you say, All of them, I hope. I could stand the re­ moval of a few prize pests like Cosner, Christilaw and Estabrook.

How are you, young man? From the health department, are you? Ab­ ating a nuisance your job, is it? Well, you had better begin with that stink plant at El Segundo, I will take care of the doghouse.

What’s that, Mrs. Seay? You can hear that quart-ette oiling up again, can you? You don’t know how lucky you are to know where Chester and George Miles keep themselves. Mrs. Todd and Ed McGahan’s sister sent their cavaliers some fruit cakes. Hope there is strychnine in them.

Sure, Dr. Kelly, you are welcome to a pew. Want to get out of the cold, do you? And Brother Foxwor­ thy from Bakersfield wants to get out of the heat. Glad to have both of you, most of my guests have to be dragged in. As soon as I have skun the hides of those two hyenas, Jim Murphy and Fred Woodley, you will have something to sleep on.

Well, if you fanny shooters will stay in your own kennels the rest won’t catch it. Not that I care much. Curt Hill and the Piersons are no assets, if you ask me, Schweitzer, Floberth and Oehlschlager are no dreams either; they are night mares. They kick down the ceiling warming up.

I don’t care, Fred Kibbe, you stay where you are. What if Stemmier does lie about his fishing? Rohm and Hoogerhyde talking shop, are they?

I would join them myself if it wasn’t for the madhouse down here.

Yes, Reed, what is it? The board of governors got into an argument in the mess hall? What about? Field archery, that’s nothing. When they get started on the single arrow or any other rule have Parker touch a hose to the keyhole. They will be ready for some gas then, but not before.

Or give them a deck of cards. That’s right, Hodgson won’t play. A movie camera will be better; Klopsteg, Palmatier and Dashiell are sharks at that. Give Cathey a goat and he will be happy. Or Kore can dance a hula for them. I understand that Jean Bethell taught him how. If you should drop a brick on Hutchison’s foot by mistake that’s all right too, ANNEX

Repeat that, will you? The field archers are clout shooting at the stockade. Good, who thought up that innocent fun? Yount and the Wil­ helm boys? Rush them a bundle of blunts and see if you can’t locate Ahmann, Bob Faas, Volus Jones or Glenn Curtis. Thompson and Spencer will want to be in on it too. Hope they massacre Stevenson for me.

No, don’t let Prouty or Yantis play with them; they will shoot out of bounds. Lock them up with the fanny shooters! They won’t like it, but ■who cares?

Yes, Gilman, this is the .office.

What’s biting you birds in the pent­ house. Hoogerhyde is snoring. Be thankful for that!

Fine!

You guys are getting temperamental, aren’t you?

And how about that class in pen­ manship? Roberts, Cathey, Nagler, DeMarbois, Case, Thompson, Pfouts, Latta, Buchen, Styles and Wilhelm; time for you fellows to write your essays. You don’t feel like it, you say. Sasha, will you bring the meet­ ing to order with the point of your spear?

Earle, please work them over with a ruler, won’t you? You have good material here, they are just too damn’ lazy.

What’s that, Sasha, should you take a crack at the editors, too? Hardly worth it, whoever heard of an editor taking care of his mail? You can duck them in the tank if you want to, but it won’t reform them.

I have known Davis and Hall too long to be optimistic. And Whaley, Thomp­ son and Brant are worse, if possible.

You are welcome, John Cuneo!

Reed will find a rug for you if he can do it without taking one away from Shenk. We treat our presidents right, we do.

Can’t do it, Dr. Hickman! If we impound every archer shooting over 500 just to give you and Klopsteg a chance, we will have to build an ad­ dition.

These are the only two methods possible, folks, so you haven’t much to choose from—unless, like Popeye, you count “instinck”.

Personally I think the fixed de­ flection method far more natural and logical. When you lean on a crow­ bar or bowstave you naturally say to yourself, “Golly, that’s stiff!” You don’t reflect upon it in decimal terms of deflection. And there’s no reason why we should in the case of arrow shafts be expected to think of shaft No. 1, which is twice as strong as shaft No. 2, as having only half its rating. Seems agin logic and common sense to me. Like estimating the avoirdupois of a public enemy neat­ ly strung up by the neck in decimal terms of the gibbet’s deflection.
