The Little League Corner
Egypt’s Tribesmen
Kidnap Their Girls
By RUSSELL BROWN
Both sides of baseball were fea
tured in last week’s American
League, South action as the Sen
ators and Red Sox go into the
final week of play with identical
4-2 records while the White Sox
and Oirples are next with 2-4
counts.
Wednesday’s action found the
Senators and Larry Godfrey down
the White Sox 7-0 as Godfrey
picked up his fourth win of the
season as he pitched a two-hitter.
The big innings, the third and
fourth gave the Sens the victory as
Walter Varvel slammed a three-
run homer while Darrell Gossett
went 2-3, garnering three RBI’s.
Joe Powell suffered the defeat
in walking four and fanning six
as teammates Carl Gough and
Jimbo Butler got the only Sox hits.
In the second game the Red Sox
used a walk, a bunt single, and
hit by pitch together with a pass
ed ball to take a 5-4 decision over
the Orioles. The final tally came
with one out in the bottom of the
sixth as Jimbo Robison chalked
up his fifth straight win of the
campaign yielding six hits, two
walks, while striking out four.
Dick Pewthers took the loss as
eight walks cost Pewthers the
game. Lary Linton went 2-2 in
cluding a double for the Sox while
Jon Ammirata gut a double in two
trips for the Orioles.
Friday was slugfest night as
the Sens downed the Orioles 17-5
and Red Sox slammed the White
Sox 19-2.
Sixteen runs on six hits in the
Summer Students
Learn by Doing
“Learning by doing” is being
practiced by graduate students in
agricultural education this sum
mer.
As part of this practice, tele
vision programs are being produc
ed that will have as their theme
“Careers in Agriculture.”
Members of the class in Ad
vanced Methods in Agricultural
Education are concerned with
learning effective methods of
presenting subject matter in their
classrooms. And since actually
“doing” is an excellent way to
learn, class members, under the
direction of Dr. Jai’rell D. Gray,
presented three television pro
grams.
In addition to giving class mem
bers experience in effective meth
ods of presenting subject mat
ter, ,the programs will acquaint
people with the importance of
agriculture.
fifth gave the Sens the victory
of loser Mark' Hayes as Russell
Hanna picked up his first win of
the season. Darrell Gossett and
Billy Elder went 2-2 for the Sens
while Jerry Davis had 2-3 for the
Birds.
Jumping off to a pick 4-0 lead
on Randy Hall’s grand-slam hom
er, the Red Sox went on to rout
the White Sox. Hall drove in eight
runs with two homers, a double
and a single while Hubert Hearne
went 3-3 including a round-tripper.
Hearne took the win giving up
only thee hits while handing the
loss to John Skabanek, who gave
up only one hit but wildness and
errors were costly. Carl Gough
and Duke Butler relieved but to no
avail.
Saturday night the Orioles
downed the slumping White Sox,
last year’s champs, 9-5. Both
starters, Rodney Greer and Eddie
Putz, had to go all the way with
no relief because the other pitch
ers on both clubs had used their
time. Greer won it scattering
eight hits while Putz gave only
six hits, but six walks and six
errors spelled defeat for the Pale
Hose.
Dick Pewthers and Mark Hayes
each had a double and a single
in four trips for the Orioles while
Carol Gough went 2-3 for the Sox.
Monday’s action between the
Sens-Red Sox and the White Sox-
Orioles was rained out and will
be played Saturday.
Rudy Serrett, Greensboro, N
C., pitcher from Flushing, N. Y.,
turned down a basketball scholar
ship at North Carolina State to
play pro baseball.

CAIRO (AP)—In Egypt’s west
ern desert, a tribesman has to
kidnap the girl he wants to mar
ry.
At least, he has to pretend he
is kidnapping her. On the wedding
night, the gimom rides into the
village, seizes the girl and rides
away with her. The men of her
family grab their guns and blaze
away but all the bullets are wide
of the mark.
This kind of marriage is tra
ditional among the Awald Aly
tribe who live near Mersa M'atruh
20<) miles from Cairo. In cen
turies past, a man had to prove
his worth by capturing a wife from
a hostile tribe. Today, it’s all an
act, but it symbolizes the tribes
man’s bravery and the family’s
reluctance to give up their daugh
ter.
The gunfight-marriage is only
one of the weird customs re
tained by the isolated Awald Aly
tribe over the centuries.
The Nasser government tries
to bring some modern benefits to
the area. By drilling new wells
and rebuilding Roman wells, the
government hopes the barren land
can be cultivated.
So far, the Awald Aly tribes
men) prefer poverty and near
starvation to working on the land.
Grazing is so bad that cattle are
scrawny, and they can eat meat
only on special holidays and at
funerals, when wealthy tribesmen
slaughter animals and distribute
the meat.
consist of a gathering of tribal
elders to administer the “haq
arab”—arab justice.
To determine guilt or innocence,
the accused must lick a red-hot
pan. If his tongue is burned, he
is guilty. If not, he is innocent.
Decisions of the “haq arab” are
final.
Women of the Awald Aly move
about freely, but they are covered
from head to foot and never un
veil publicly. A prospective bride-*
groom rarely knows what his bride
will look like. But there is a uni
que tribal device that gives him
some idea of the girl’s worth in
hard cash.
Called the “bokei” it is a heavy
veil covered with coins. A girl
who wears many gold coins on her
“borkei” has a big dowry. The
poor girls only wear copper coins.
FAMILY JOLT

Grandfather and grandson met re

Andrew Wysocki was about to
make a right turn in his automo

another. Inside this one was his
9-year-old grandson, Michael Wy

Mike’s father said the boy prob
ably has accidentally released the
brakes on the parked car.
