Highway 30, and that part of Platte County north of State Highway 22 to the Nance By Bob Munger Anyone who figures Johnny Ringneck isn't intelligent just hasn't hunted the beast. And Saturday morning one-half hour before sunrise shooting begins in the 1956 season in an attempt to outsmart the wily bird.

The first two or 3 days it should be no sweat. The pheasants will be fat and sassy and will have forgotten what the sound of a hunter's footsteps coming through the com can mean. But give 'em a week, or perhaps less, and there will be no more of the easy stuff. As anyone can plainly see the state is knee deep in cover. Cover Boomed A lush growing season this spring and summer has boomed the hiding material for pheasants, and any pheasant hatched from an egg would rather hide than fly.

So what's gonna happen? They're gonna hide from us, that's what! Or run, which is worse. The marching skirmish line of 20 hunters working through a field are going to find nothing come out the end. Or at best just a few. It's going.to i changed methods and a bit more hunting skill to fill out a limit of cock birds a day. There are more birds than last year.

According to the Nebraska Game Com- mission pheasants have increased over 1957, an increase that is bound to be reflected in fatter game bags. Quail Up, Too The quail population is a up, approximately over the 1957 high, but quail don't seem to get as "spooky" as a well-hunted pheasant does. Early in the mornings pheasants come out of their roosting cover and head for feed areas nearby, exposing themselves to hunters. In mid-day they can be found dusting themselves or loafing in cornfields or other heavy cover, and then late in the evening back to the roosts again. At first they will fly up nicely as hunters come through the cover.

But later on in the season different tactics will be needed. The one primary to remember--KEEP QUIET! Don't pull up to a hunting grounds with a squeal of tires and a slamming of car doors, then whistle up a dog or two and slam shells into guns. Walk Quietly By that tme all the pheasants in the section will have quietly sneaked out. And when you're walking, walk quietly. Stop ever so often, for 15 or 20 seconds.

Sometimes when you do an old rooster will get nervous and take out from his hiding spot. Instead of working the big fields that stretch for a square mile concentrate on smaller areas. And more a a bagged per hunting hour will result. are ringnecks everywhere year, from the city limits of Lincoln to the Wyoming line. But the farther west a hunter goes the better the populations, with the exception of the Sandhills, of course, where pheasants are scarce.

Quail are concentrated most heavily in the southeast part of the state, although there are scattered populations here and there over the state. County line, except federal and state sanctuaries ond refuges. BAG LIMIT: 6 (six). POSSESSION LIMIT: 12 SHOOTING HOURS: One-half hour be sunrise to sunset. QUAIL (North Platte Volley end Northcentrol areai) SEASON DATES: October 25 through November 2.

EVERY resident and non-resident pheasant and quail hunter, over 16 years of age, is required by state law to PURCHASE AND SECURE TO HIS HUNTING PERMIT, AN UPLAND GAME BIRD STAMP, COSTING $1.00. Two Top-Ranked Teams Hurting Over Condition of Key Players By United Press International Top-ranked Army and second-ranked Ohio State both are "hurting" for their important battles with sectional rivals Saturday.

The unbeaten Cadets were most concerned over the condition of halfback Pete Dawkins when they took off Friday for their date with the University of Pittsburgh, i will be televised throughout the East. Dawkins sustained a pulled thigh muscle in last Saturday's game against Virginia and hasn't even been near the practice field all week. With fullback Harry Walters laid up with a sprained ankle and Dawkins regarded as a doubtful starter, Coach Earl Blaik indicated the Cadets will depend on their new- found air power against Pitt. "This is a more crucial game for us than the one with Notre Dame," Blaik declared. "And the only possible way we can win it, considering our injuries, is by throwing the ball." Ohio State, meanwhile, will have four "walking wounded in its lineup against Wisconsin.

Halfback Don Clark has a sore shoulder, while fullback Bob White, center Dan Fronk and tackle Jim Tyrer have lingering leg injuries. However, Buckeyes, like Army, are one touchdown favorites to maintain their perfect record. Texas, ranked 4th nationally, meets Rice in a "pick 'em" game that should have a major bearing on the Southwest Conference race. New Wetlands Acquisition Program Is Speeded Up Washington Committees o'f sportsmen are preparing recommended lists of waterfowl areas to be acquired under a new government program. Government officials, reporting this Friday, said progress is being made but they don't know yet when a priority list of the proposed wetlands purchases will be ready.

Congress this year authorized an accelerated program of wetland acquisition to start in 1960-61 in an effort to maintain the wild duck and goose population at high level. Ross Leffler, Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife, said committees of the 4 Flyway Councils are working diligently on their recommendations. Hopes For Speed He said he hopes the committees can speed their work. But he added that no funds for purchase of lands under the new program will be available until after July 1, I960. Leffler said the Flyway Councils had already submitted some recommendations but these had been sent back ofr further checking and additional information.

Daniel H. Janzen, Director of the Bureau of Sport Fish- cries and Wildlife, said one of the problems was to try get the thinking of the coun- closer together on what Links Host South Omaha South at Lincoln High is a battle of note on tap for Capital City prep football fans tonight. Undefeated, top-rated South meets the hot-cold Link club at the Oval with the kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. Another home game of note finds Pius hosting a top rated team from Iowa, Sioux City Heelan. This game opens 8 p.m.

Lincoln Northeast travels to Omaha Westside tonight to complete local slate is needed, as well as on what should have first priority. He said the Atlantic Flyway Council had sent in what he regarded as the first definite list of areas which should be purchased, as well as a priority list. Further Work But he added that further checking is now under way on those lists. 'Leffler commented that the department is receiving numerous suggestions from individuals as to areas which should be included in the program and that these will be given consideration.

The over-all picture, in mid- season statistics gathered by The Associated Press, shows a comfortable gain of 3.33%. The average major college game this year has been played before 25,063 spectators, an increase of 811 over the average for a comparable period last year. Only in the Big Ten, the Big Eight, Missouri Valley and Southern Conferences has attendance declined. The dips range from 4.82% in the Missouri Valley to 0.61% in the Southern. Biggest increase percent- agewise was registered in the Skyline, where have been 16.24% higher.

That's a matter of some 1,900 customers a game in an area that's rather sparsely populated. Conversely, Big Ten crowds dropped more than 2,000 per game but in percentages it was only a 3.80 decline. Lee Hanged In Effigy Manhattan, Kan. UP) H. B.

Lee, director of athletics at Kansas State College, a hanged in effigy Friday, apparently by students angry over the athletic ticket situation at the college. Students have complained about a change in the system of charging for basketball tickets for the coming season. Under the new set up, a student may attend 10 games for a $5 fee in addition to the $104 fee which includes tuition and activity tickets. An additional charge of $1 a student will be made for those wishing to attend basketball doubleheader in December. An increase in basketball tickets for student wives, from $7.50 to plus $2 for the doubleheader, also i be made.

A year ago the $104 fee for tuition and activity tickets included the home games.

The Wildcats have a 2-3 record. They have averaged 267 yards a game and scored a little more than 12 points a contest. Missouri also is a strong favorite to dump Iowa State. Both teams have 2-3 records but Iowa State has lost its last 3 outings, all in conference action. All contact ended Thursday.

Lincoln coaches- Harold Scott, Lincoln High track boss, Bun Galloway, Northeast administrator and former football coach, and Dale Snook, University High basketball coach, led the drive for a coaching clinic sponsored by the a Coaches Association. "I feel now that when I attend a coaching clinic with a college coach giving the lecture I'm wasting my time," Snook said. "That's all we have been getting lately, and college coaches often don't get down to the high school level which is what we're after." Strasheim, assistant NU football coach, spoke to the group and stressed the importance of scholarship to incoming freshman footballers.

"We need your help." he said. "The boys must learn how to 'study in high school, or they will be in for a tough time as freshmen in college where they have to play football and concentrate on the studies." New officers elected for 1959 are Darrel Genzslinger of Beatrice, president; Fred Winters of Pawnee City, vice- president, and Dave Hagemoser of Waverly, secretary- treasurer.

Chris Beck's Firestont Comer 4 21st 2-4449 as a 22-point favorite. The Huskers aren't given even an outside chance. But the Husker players are fighting to return to the form that saw them upset Penn State in the opener. Most important ingredient needed is a healthy squad. Coach Bill Jennings figures he may have that, or as close to it as possible by game time.

Pat Fischer, trigger-man of the NU offense, is slated for duty this week after 3 weeks of flu and injury. If he is able to resume top form, the sputtering NU attack may spring some surprises this week. There are some 5,000 Nebraskans who are journeying to Colorado for a scenic week end and they hope--a stunning upset for them to cheer about. The game will be televised in the Midwest, giving thousands of other Nebraskans a chance to watch the battle that has become an annual classic. Colorado has an awe-inspiring offense, one that is the best in the nation on the ground and second only to Army for over-all efficiency.

Led by left halfback Howard Cook, the Buffs prance from a basic single wing attack with a little formation thrown in to keep the defense worried. Cook is the No. 2 rusher in the Big 8 conference and ranks 5th in the nation with 373 yards on 56 carries. Consider tliis to Nebraska's 499 yards rushing as a team for 5 games and you realize the talent of this Buff back. Colorado, despite its speed and deception, is a big team.

Only 4 starters will weigh less than 200 pounds. The Buffs have a team average of 200 pounds a man compared to Nebraska's 189. Nebraska will have two substitutes in the starting ineup. End Guy Sapp gets the call at right end where Roland McDole will be absent with an illness that may keep him out the rest of the season. Tackle Al Wellman will open at right tackle in place of Joe Gacusana, who is nurs- ng a bruised shoulder.

The Huskers are scheduled to fly to Denver after a Friday workout in Lincoln. They leave Lincoln at 6:30 p.m. The club will bus to Boulder Saturday morning and return to Denver right after the jame for the return flight to Lincoln Saturday night.
