Future Warriors twist Tiger tails
A swarm of Yellow Jackets stung a Tiger in Warsaw- last Thursday and a group of Trojans rode in for the slaughter. The Syracuse Yellow- Jacket junior high wrestling team combined forces with the Milford Trojans and invaded the den of the riyal Warsaw Tigers. And when the smoke of battle had cleared there was Tiger fur lying all around. It is a rarity when a junior high wrestling meet draws more fans than normally attend a high school meet but over 150 fans from Milford and Syracuse followed their young wwstlers south and were rewarded with a 75-45 victory. The final score did not reflect the total dominance of the young Warriors as much as their nine pins to their opponents.

World’s best hitchhiker
When he says he is the world’s No. 1 hitchhiker, a 21-year-old New Zealander may be right. After all, David Buckley has been away from home for nearly a year now on a 40,000-mile, zigzag trip through the United States and Canada. And he has done it all on $3.50 a day. “It’s easy, when you have friends,” he said. Buckley frequently writes his parents. He has mapped mail drops along his routes to receive their letters, he said, “and when I feel a little homesick, I phone them collect.” Buckley, passing through Chicago, said he doesn’t know when he will return home. But he misses his girlfriend, Sue McShane, more and more. “I’ve met quite a few girls, but I still like Sue the best,” he said. “She understands me and knows I have to get this traveling out of my system.” Buckley said he had worked 75 hours a week as a diesel mechanic to save money for the trip. “I told my parents I wanted to see the world and that they’d see me again when I walked through the front door,” said Buckley. “They have traveled around the world twice and gave me a list of friends they had made and their addresses.” “As I hitchhiked, I made more friends who gave me their addresses and asked me to drop in when I’m in their area. I have a book of 500 names of friends in

the U.S. and Canada. My only relation living in the U.S. is a cousin, Kay Wallace, in Houston, and I visited her in March.” Buckley said he spends money only for an occasional milk shake and vitamin bars. He has replenished some of his scant wardrobe. “I plan my traveling day always to wind up in a town where I have friends,” he said. “They are always glad to see me, invite me over for the night, feed me supper and breakfast, and let me use their washing machines and dryers for my clothes.” R.
