Kennedy Old Favorite Here Kennedv. who notched a no-hitter By THE OLDTIMER OKLAHOMA sportsmen, for the most part, are on the inside looking out until the rains cease and roily waters clear sufficiently for the angler to get in his bid for some autumn fishing. Squirrel hunting on the ridges is popular this week, despite heavy rains and muddy roads.

Cat-fishing via the trotline method is paying dividends in some of the smaller streams of the southeast. There was a big flock of doves In central Oklahoma the past week, centering in the counties of Okfuskee, Pottawatomie and southward to Coal-gate with practically no gunners afield when the birds arrived from the north. Undoubtedly they were transients on their way south. Game rangers in the southeast are on the alert for out-of-season deer poachers, for when the slow, drippy autumn rains coMe to the Klaralchi. and the big bucks begin scraping, unscrupulous gunners get the trigger-finger itch.

There wUl be a legitimate six-day hunt for the white tails, when November rolls around, if the deer are left alone until then. Ruddy ducks made their appearance in the state the past week, breezinir in behind the bluewing teal, pintail, coot and blackjacks, which arrived earlier. Only one more week before the barrage starts on the waterfowl. THE week's largest bass was caught in a believe-it-or-not manner at Duncan city lake. This one weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces, and was caught by W.

A. Duncan, on dough-bait. McCall was angling for catfish when the bass surprised him. Lewis Pickett, superintendent at the Duncan, lake, has checked many coveys of half-grown quail on the premises lately, and believes that some of the bobwhites hatched two coveys this year. "There's the old argument again do they or do they not? Most observers agree that Mr.

and Mrs. Bobwhite will raise a second family only if the first clutch of eggs or first brood are destroyed in soma manner while still very young. Pickett further -reports to the duckhunters: "We have lots of blue-wing and gad-walls and quite a few wood ducks.

There the Sooncrs got their first break of the day as Johnny Feagan missed the ball on a bad pass from center and end Joe Harrell raced in to recover the fumble for the Sooneru on the Texans 7-yard line. On the first signal, from single wing formation Hawkins reversed to the left without interference and covered all seven yards to the end zone.

The Oklahoma law specifies that all hunters, young and old, must possess a license, though children under 16 must have their parents' consent to buy one. Murray and Mountain lakes continue clear and are. at present, the only pay waters on the angler's list in the Ardmore vicinity. Oklahoma farmers prize their quail above all other wildlife crops nthe land, and lucky is the hunter who has a farmer friend saving exclusive hunting rights for him. Bill Eckhard of Elk City counted 31 bobwhites in a single covey on his farm, and there are more, he says.
