Yellow Jackets Wallop Auburn By 84-66 Score In NEIC Battle Friday

By PETE REYNOLDS Decatur's Yellow Jackets ran roughshod over the Auburn Red Devils Friday night, piling up a big 84-66 triumph for a Northeastern Indiana conference victory at the Decatur gym. Auburn stayed with the Jackets for the first six minutes of the ball game, but Bill McColly’s lads then turned on the heat and rapidly pulled away from the visitors. The Red Devils took a quick 4-0 lead on a pair of shots from the side by Bob Martin, but buckets by Tom Maddox and Bob Walters evened the score. Martin hit his third straight shot and Walters his second of 12 for the night and a 6-6 tie. The Jackets then moved to a 13-7 advantage but Auburn came back for a 13-13 tie with 2:25 to go in the initial stanza. But the Jackets broke away to build up a 21-14 bulge at the end of the quarter and Auburn was just about done. The Red Devils got within six points with 3:48 to go in the second period, tut the Jackets ripped away for a 44-31 lead at the half. Decatur was on top by 15 at the third bracket. 63M7. and stayed far ahead through the final eight minutes as both coaches substituted freely. Bob Walters topped all the scorers with 28 points and Bob Martin led Auburn with 18. Ike Eichenauer counted 13, Denny Bollenbacher 12 and Ron Kleink* night 10 for the Jackets, while Wayne Seagraves hit 13 and Wayne Showalter 10 for Auburn. The Jackets had a terrific night at the foul line, hitting all 14 attempts in the first half and their first two in the third quarter before missing. All in all, they converted 20 of 25 chances, while Auburn made only 18 erf 34. Twentyfive fouls were called on the Jackets and only 15 on Auburn. Decatur now has a 0-4 season record and a 2-3 conference mark. The Jackets travel to Kendallville next Friday night for another NEIC battle.

West Favored To Beat East In Pro Bowl LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The 12th annual Pro Bowl game Sunday will not be a replay of the National Football League championship contest which Green Bay won, 37-0, over the New York Giants, but both teams are represented Strongly. The East, coached by Allie Sherman of the Giants, and the West, headed by Norm Van Brocklin of the Minnesota Vikings, each have eight players from the championship teams in the Pro Bowl. This is probably one of jttie reasons why the West is favored. Las Vegas, Nev., bookies have made the West a favorite. Locally, the Westerners are given a 3-poir.t edge. Packers on hand to try to demonstrate their superiority again are: quarterback Bart Starr, fullback Jim Taylor, linebacker Bill Forrester, defensive tackle Henry Jordan, center Jim Ringo, cornerman Jess Whittenton, offensive end Max McGee, and offensive tackle Forrest Gregg. The eight Giants in the Pro Bowl are: quarterback Y.A. Tittle, offensive end Del Shofner, fullback Alex Webster, linebacker Sam Huff, defensive ends Andy Robustelli and Jim Katcavage, and defensive backs Erich Barnes and Jim Patton. The West has won seven and the East four of the past 11 games. Sherman plans to start Tittle, a lucky Giant acquisition from the San Francisco Forty Niners, as well as Shofner. a gift from the Los Angeles Rams. The rest of the starting East backfield includes halfbacks Don Perkins of the Dallas Cowboys and Tommy McDonald of the Philadelphia Eagles, and fullback Jim Brown of Cleveland. Van Brocklin, like Sherman a rookie NFL head, coach, plans to start Starr and Taylor, and halfbacks Lenny Moore of the Baltimore Colts and Jon Arnett of the Rams. H. S. Basketball Bluffton 67.

good. If anything, it was harming the native stock by introducing disease and creating hybrid birds of poor quality. Mostly, it was pure waste because native quail already occupied all eovej territories that were suitable. Where native birds could not stay, it was foolish to expect imported birds to thrive. "Putting out more birds will not increase the number of places having suitable food and cover to hold a covey. Certain range may be overshot, leaving good covey territories unoccupied. This does call for restocking, and it will be restocked next spring, if not next week. Quail move constantly from one covey to another and from one territory to another.” Game Cycle Missouri has this to say: “Many people believe that quad range can be made to'produce more birds by adding to the brood stock which already exists there. This is far from the truth, simply because under ordinary conditions a given range will produce only the number of quail that it can support and tor practical purposes, money spent for such stocking is money thrown away.” Virginia carried out an experiment in die fall and spring of 1941-42 wherein 73 native quail were removed by shooting on experimental areas. In place of these native quail, 73 banded pen-reared birds were released. After the following breeding season (summer of 1952). the areas were again shot over and! 87 birds recovered. Only one banded bird was taken. Kentucky Experiment* Kentucky conducted a carefully supervised experiment in the release of 360 quail on several areas. Ohly 38 per cent of the birds could be located 45 to 60 days later. By spring of the following year, only 8 per cent remained. Check areas on which no birds were released were used to compare results with stocked areas. Census data show that there were actually more birds present per unit area on the unstocked than the stocked area, and that habitat quality rather than stocking is responsible for differences noted in quail populations. Missouri conducted experiments on the effects of stocking penraised quail by the simple method of selecting two similar areas, each over 2,000 acres in size, stocking one and not the other. Obviously,, if quail stocking will do what many laymrit think, the stocked area should produce an increased population in comparison to the wstoeked afea. The reikHs, however, showed something quite different. .Over a period three years, A total of 183 : pei| v(366 birds) of quail were released. Kahh year these spring releases toore than doubled the population on the stocked aria. The results ate given as follows: * i ‘ . Missouri Result* 1. Th* unetocked areg, carried a higher papulation of birds. 2. Instead of approaching or surpassing this population, ’as would be expected, if stocking were effec- . tive, the population on the stocked area was actually and progressives ly smaller each year in relation i to that on the unstocked, area. 3. Each year the population of stocked area produced only an increase such as would have been . expected from the brood stock , present before the new binds were > released and no more. 4. Each winter, the population , on the stocked area decreased to toe amount that would have been expected had there been no stocking. , 5. From 366 banded birds, no ’ bands were recovered and only three were reported. . - Again we are forced to conclude . that it takes habitat, not restocking, to support and produce quail. , Oklahoma released 57,062 banded quail from 1842 to 1946. To June ‘ 1947, only 722 or 1.26 per cent . recoveries were made. Practically all these bands were recovered , during the open season immediately , following release, a matter of two i or three months. Antiquated Practice Today, we find Indiana following ' toe same antiquated trail and practices that were iq vogue 20

years ago. About 1930, we started out with one game farm at the Jasper-Pulaski game preserve. This was followed a few years later by the establishment of the Wells county farm near Bluffton. Now, we read in the papers, this is not enough so we pour more money down the rathole with a new venture at the Muscatatuck game farm near North Vernon. What do these game farm pheasants and quail contribute to the overall kill of these birds? A very small percentage as compared with the harvest of several hundred thousand native birds. Still, the average conservation organization is content to listen to the same old ballyhoo year after year. Under the system that has been practiced by both parties, we are led to believe that the hunting prospects just have to be better each fall because the conservation department is turning so many thousand quail and pheasants loose. Under such a system, it is impossible for them to admit that the season could be poor. To admit this, it would be necessary to concede the fact that artificial propagation has failed. We are sure most of you hunters who have been afield for the past few years can attest to toe fact that many of our covers are becoming less and less productive. The plow, bulldozer and the cow have all played their part in reducing suitable habitat and we can continue to release game farm birds in unsuitable habitat from now until doomsday with no appreciable influence on the overall population. Birdraising Is Fun The raising of a brooder of quail or pheasant is an interesting pastime for anyone who loves nature. It will have an appeal to the public and it makes good newsprint. The birds are then released on farms or in selected coverts that in many ! cases, unfortunately, do not offer all the requirements even for native birds. However, persons doing the releasing do know that so many birds were turned loose at a certain spot. When they go back at the beginning of the hunting season, they are sometimes surprised that maybe none of them can be found. It is believed that the prime motive in any propagation program should be the increase of wildlife, populations, so the figures that appear in our annual reports and toe actual native populations are far from being synonymous. It is time that we recognized the important, role played by nature, that we cease augmenting the native populations with a small percentage of pen-reared birds, trying to credit a good natural season to artificial propagation, if it comes along, and forgetting about the poor seasons. It is a well-known biological concept that populations fluctuate in accordance with many factors. Food, cover, water, predators, hunting, disease and accidents ■— all these exert their influence. About the only thing that many conservation organizations appear to be interested in is the control of hunting and they look askance or do not recognize the other factors. The destruction of a good quail covey headquarters on a farm will forever eliminate the home for that number of birds. ADAMS THEATER SUN. & MON. Continuous Sun. from 1:15 Soaring Comedy in Color!

Bad weather and nesting conditions can completely reverse the hunting picture for any particular year. Let us try to place the emphasis on Wildlife management in its logical perspective and do something about improving habitat and other limiting factors. Many of our neighboring states are increasing toe acreage of public hunting and fishing territory, building new lakes and improving the habitat In Indiana, we need to place more importance on these things and forget about the puny efforts of man, trying to raise a few more quail and pheasants to help along a population that is entirely dependent upon natural factors. Need Fair Break We say that it is time for our clubs and sportsmen to cease to be content, lulled into a state of complacency by a few boxes of pheasants and quail, with which they are subsidized, to turn loose with the thousands of native birds present. If we are so gullible that we fall for the same old line that has been in vogue each fall because we turned loose so many pen coddled birds, then we do not deserve good game management. We need to continue to live in the dark ages of 20 years ago when artificial propagation was toe rage. When will the sportsmen of Indiana wake up and realize that our present game management policies are still in the horse and buggy days, and demand a fair break for our license money? Conclusions — 1. The artificial propagation and release of game birds is useful only for the establishment of a species in a satisfactory habitat where they do not nfcw exist. ~ 2. The continued operation of huge game farms for toe rearing and subsequent release of large numbers of game bfrds requires the expenditure of vast sums of » money, all out of proportion to the , gain in the game bird population, if any, which might result from such releases. This is not conservation at all but is a shameful waste of the money of the Division of Fish and Game of toe Indiana Department of Conservation and should be curtailed drastically at once. 3. That all but a small sum of monies now expended for operation of game farms and for propagation and release of game birds should be spent in toe leasing and development of game habitat and public ' hunting grounds. The department should develop a closer working arrangement with the U.S. Soil Conservation farm planners. It should spend more time in the education of private landowners. The development of a small game habitat on each farm is not only possible, but is practical and economically sound. We believe the foregoing report and conclusions to be completely sound and believe that if our recommendations are followed, the game bird population will increase far more and at less cost than under the policies which have been practiced in Indiana for the past 15 years or more and which, for the most part, have been based on political expediency.
