FINE TROPHIES . . . When we said last week that the Smath
ers family brought “home the bacon” from the National Archery
tourney at Oxford, Ohio, we meant exactly what we said, and the pic
ture on this page bears us out. Next week they will go to the Southern
tournament at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we predict that they will once
-again do themselves proud and bring home their share of the win-_
nings.
0. K.’s WINNINGS ... In all, Mr. Smathers himself brought home
six trophies from the National tournament. Probably, the finest of the
group is the Leatherstocking cup, which was awarded for the highest
6core at 60 yards in the tourney. Next, would be the Jiles Improvement
trophy, and this is given each year to the archer who shows the greatest
improvement over the score made in the last NAA tourney. In the pic
ture Ozzie is holding the Maurice Thompson gold medal, which is award
ed the archer having the best score at 100 yards in the Double York
round. His fourth trophy was the Pilgrim penny, the medal for the
Dallin club member showing the most improvement. Then he also re
ceived the medal for the best score in the warm-up rounds, and the
Dallin medal as well.
FAMILY AWARDS . . . Lynne Smathers received two medals,
one for fifth place in the junior girl’s division, and one for third place
in the wand. Kenny was awarded three. The first was for second place
in the Intermediate boy’s division, and the second for second place
in the clout and the third was a six-gold pin.
ANOTHER WINNER . . . Malinda Bangs, who accompanied the
Smathers family to the tournament, also brought home three medals.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bangs, and her father killed
a deer some years ago with a bow and arrow. The medals she received
were' one for fourth place in the junior girl’s division; one for 2nd
place in the wand; and a six-gold pin. Next week she will also partici
pate in the Southern at Tulsa, along with her dad and the Smathers
family.
