Saints Tangle With P. W. 0. This Afternoon

The opening gun in this year's

football season will be fired this afternoon when St, Dunstarfs and Prince of Wales squads clash in an exhibition encounter at the .D. U. gridiron. Both squads are reported to be far stronger than last year. with former well known players return- ing after seeing service overseas and so one of the hardest fought opening games for the past good! many years is being looked for- ward to. not only by the student body of both institutions but, by all the local football enthusiasts.

George." George is a. son of our old and very respected friend the late James MacDonald and we, like many others not only in Charlottetown but Boston, are looking forward to greeting him on his return.

i THE HUNTERS" mfllitNEll ,,_

The five day eeuon on Cack Ring-packed pheasants opens on Monday. the day after tomorrow, and. by this time next week wherever gunners gather. the sub. Jact is bound to be pheasants. Just how many cocks will be shot in

the five-dz season is s ques- tion tbat have to wait until s few days after the season closes

[on Friday evening, October 19th. An effort will be made to secure ‘a reasonably accurate estimate of the total kfll. The co-operation of sportsmen is requested in order to make the count as complete as 'DOI|SINO. It would only require s few minutes of your time to phone in to either the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture or the near- est detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and state your total bag of cock pheasants for the season u well as giving your name and addrem. Information as to the district the birds were shot in will also be valuable in determining the spread and density of population in any given area. O O

This scribe is hazarding a guess that the kill will be small in comparison to the number of birds on the loose. From information at hand it is considered that 500 icock pheasants could be shot {without endangering the species. vbut on the contrary would stimu- late propagation. Be that as it may. however, this scribe is also hazarding a guess that the total legal kill will not exceed 150. am basing this compilation on the actions of the pheasants (cocks) over a period of years as noted by the writer and filed away for fut- ure reference. In the first place the pheasant of either sex prefers to run and skulk in preference to

cepted feeding in open stubble or tumip fields. It doesn't always mean that you will observe their hurried departure either. Once they reach the desired haven it takes a good dog to root them out. The dog has to be fast enough on a trail to push the wary ring- neck rather closely before he will elect to rise and fly to another area. Sometimes they will lie to a Setter or Pointer, but their nat- ural tendency is to move sway from the dog. They are not near- ly so sporting as the Hungarian partridge. The natural instinct of the Hun is to squat and stay put when a dog wanders unto their feeding ground, and, unless the dog has a keen nose they will fre- quently fool him. Sometimes there
