Foot MayDecicIe Sunday's Game

NEW YORK (APl—Tlie win-

ning margin in this Sunday‘s vital football game between Cleveland Browns and New York Gaints may be decided by a foot—the foot belonging to either Lou 'Groza or Pat Summerall. . Summerall, the Giants' kicking specialist who suffered a leg in- jury last week and was not ex- pected td play, has made rapid progress in recent days. The Giants’ trainer now thinks he will be available. The Giants need a victory to tie the Browns for the eastern title.

Groza Browns' great tackle and kicker, is anxious to put a happy ending on what has been» a sub- par season for him. i

If Summorall recovers from his Iniury, as now seems likely. the game might feature a kicking and scoring duel between the two. GROZA IN FRONT

Summerall leads Groza in field goals. 10 to seven. and holds a one-point scoring edge. 57-56. Lou. however. has booted 35 extra

HUNTER’S CORNER—

The past five days have been Dreny gi‘im so far as cold is con- cerned. Strong west winds with the thermometer hovering a- round fi‘om four to ten degrees above zero with no snow worth speaking about drives the cold through the heaviest clothing and chills the warmest house. The sizable snowfall early in Decem- ber made the Hun covey‘s show up for a day or two and surprisv es were in store for many hunt- ers. A goose hunter on the prowl in the dawning, it was still so dark car lights were necessary. was driving back a farm lane to check a stubble field supposed to be frequented by a flock of geese. He got a surprise when a covey of Huns ran across the track in the full glare of the headlights. He counted 12 at least but there were more than that number in the covey. They flew across to his right. Two hun- dred yards farther on 18 or 20 flew from under his feet from some uncut hay at the edge of a stubble field. He never dreamed that there was a covey within a quarter mile of this section. An-

: other hunter stopped me on the . street and told me that I

was wrong in my estimate of two cov. eys for every one we had in 1957. He figured we have three for every one. I consider, however. that my estimate is approximat- ely correct but it is definitely not

, on the short side of the picture.

PHEASANT CROP

It’s the pheasant crop that in- terests me at the moment. Read- ers of the Column will remember that I made an estimate of the of the number of pheasants this spring in Queens County before releases were made...ap- proximately three thousand. I also commented on the fallacy of releasing a few hundred pen raised pheasants when we had an ample stock of wild birds on hand. I also asked the question: “What difference will a_few hun- dred make among several tho-us. and?”

At‘the Fish and Game meet- ing I attended a few months ago the pheasant re-stocking pro- gram received a vote of confid- ence from the members present. When members were asked what luck they had with pheasants last fall several got to their feet and stated that they enjoyed the best pheasant shooting in 1958 hat they had for years. The chests of' the sponsors of the pheasant program swelled out so I was Waiting to hear buttons pop. Since then I have asked a lot of questions and received en- lightening answers from hunt- ers. For instance: The hunter who spoke at the meeting con- cerning his excellent luck in hunting pheasants told me that he and his hunting partner shot approximately 60 pheasants. This season he was certain they shot several over the 55 mark and was agreed that 60 was the safe figure. Out of the 60 5 were band- ed birds and they were shot in the Bristol Savage Harbour sec- tors where releases of local pen raised birds were made a week or so before the opening day. This is the highest report re- b:nds received but even in this instance it did 't improve their hunting so greatly. For every banded pheasant bagged they shot 11 wild birds.

Another party of three shot 55 pheasants in the area south of the Hill-sboro River extending to Souris and there wasn‘t a band in the lot. An ardent upland game bird hunt-er who owns three top pheasant dogs told me that 40 pheasants were shot over them

ed. Most of these pheasants were shot in the north shore area in- cluding Cavendish. Neither of the bands were of this season‘s vintage as they had been on

Two hunters shot 11 with one he—

shot without a band in the lot and a third shot 3 with one banded. The 9 ‘bandless pheasants were shot in Kings County. 5 were shot in the T. Hill—Crown Point area with no hands. Out of 225 pheasants reported to me only 9 were handed birds. Approximat ely 4 per cent of this lot were banded. On this basis for every four pheasants bagged in 1958 there were 98 wild birds that stocked areas and no hunters game bags. Where does the big improvement in pheasant hunt- ing due to the re—stock-ing pro— gram come in? and that really is a $65.00 question. FOUND IT OUT British Columbia

It’s The Pheasant Crop That Interests Writer

out some years ago. Road blocks were set up around heavily re- stocked areas and no hunters got by without a check. It was discovered that for every band- ed bird found in hunters‘ game bags there were 20 ban-dless, or wild pheasants. According to a release 51' sponsors of the pheas- ant program 600 pheasants were released in ‘.953...150 Wisconsin Shooting Preserve birds in the spring and 450 local pen raised birds a short time prior to the opening morning. It has also been announced that this program cost two thousand six hundred dollars. ($2600.00). According to the latest figures the band re- turn was 60... a mere ten per- cent. This figures . out roughly that the sixty recovered birds cost over $43.00 each.

It is worthy of note that not a single band from the 150 Wiscon- sin spring release was reported taken by hunters this fall. This also bears out the findings of the B.C. Game Commission that re- leased pen raised pheasants have to be harvested shortly after the release otherwise they disappear into thin air. An inci- dent regarding the current re- stocking program came to light a week or so ago. I knew that at least 8 of the Wisconsin pheasants released this spring had met wit“ disaster... killed by cars. dogs or by a train. One in part- icular was reported to me and the band No. given over the phone. I wrote it down at the time and told the motorist to turn the band in to The Game As- sociation which was done. The bird. a beautiful hen either lay- ing or about to lay. was killled‘ by a car at Glenfinnan early in the spring. ,

A few weeks ago a hunter cal- led at my home and handed me a band. It was a Wisconsin Shoot ing Preserve band. No. (8532). He told me he found it on the leg of a young Cock pheasant he shot at Glenfinnan this fall. He told me it was an immature Cook just- beginning to feather out on neck and head with spurs the size of a desiccated pea. If my memory serves me correctly I’d say it aws the same band remov- ed from the hen bird this spring that was killed at Glenfinnan. 1’11 know' for certain when I find the slip on which I wrote the band. number. It's not hard to figure that one out only the wrong hunt- er got the band. He has two wit- nesses. They were hunting with him at the time. A

To summarize this pheasant program that started in 1956. It is admitted by some of its most enthusiastic supporters at the time that 1956 was a failure. The 1957 program is also put down on the records as a failure because the stock on hand developed dis- sease and were ordered destroy- ed to a bird. This brings us to the

About 300 hundred fans turned; out to witness the Tars make their debut in this new‘y formed C‘har- :ottetown and District Hockey League. 1

The Royals got off to a fast starl ‘ within the first five minutes had a 2-0 edge on goals by Whitlock and Carroll. The first one by Buck. was at the 1:26 mark, unassisted.

The Tars, this being their first game were slow in getting under; way. but Apps Arsenault scored a brace shortly past the halfway mark of the frame to knot the. score and Smelt Gillis put the} Navy in front for the first and lastl time at the 18:45 mark. This leadl was short-lived however. as Lloydl Shepherd evened the game up at 3-all in the dying seconds of the period.

The Royals applied the pres- sure in the second period but were held till the 19:19 mark when Jim MacLeod scored on a rebound. This put the Park- dale squad in the lead and from

there on they never looked back.

Earlier in the period the Tars, with Joe Coyle out on

a tripping penalty, held off the ,goal-hungary Royals. On one instance Angie Carroll came in all alone, but was outfoxed by goalie Frankie Roper.

Re- sults so far is a reduction in the daily pheasant bag from 5 to 3 and it is the consensus of opin- ion among farmers and hunters that we haven’t one pheasant to- day for every ten we had in 1955. Personally I feel that this is a very conservative estimate.
