He got his limit of squirrel and caught several bass. Now hes If youre a beginner at either fishing or hunting, theres no quicker or better way to get good than to win the friendship of a real veteran and let him teach you his pet tricks. IS BY WALTON LOWRY News sports writer "Gosh, what luck!" Ever hear fishermen or hunters use that admiring phrase. Sure you have.

And usually its produced by a beautiful string of fish or a bag of game. Luck, no doubt, plays a major role, for the once-a-year fisherman or hunter who. makes a killing. But day-in and day-out its know-how that pays off. When a fisherman or hunter produces day after day you cant just chalk it up to luck.

Usually hes a man that knows his business. And the man going bird hunting for the first time, hasnt on the average, a ghost- of a chance against a man who knows bird haunts and has the knack of knocking em down. QUAIL USE over certain areas. If food is available, youll find them near the 'same range day after day. Bass also have certain feeding stations.

They may wander all over a stream, lake or pond at times. But usually, theyll follow certain underwater runways and have certain feeding stations. The hunter or fisherman who learns where the birds or fish are naturally has a tremendous advantage over those who are depending on blind luck. Persistent pursuit of either fish or game teaches you many useful tricks. And the man who knows his customers best usually gets the most business.

Mobile angler tells tall tale One of the tallest tales on fishing was turned in at Alabama Wildlife Federation convention at Gadsden by Hubert Doc Kimbrough, of Mobile. One story, told outright as a fishing yarn, depicted a frustrated angler walking to the bank on the backs of gars, when his boat bogged down among them.

They were that plentiful. But Kimbrough told his for the truth. He won the Mg bass contest at a Mobile 1 sports goods store last year. He was working hard to win it again this year, fishing in Bilboa Creek up near Calvert. He cast his plug where he saw a swirl and a bass of about three pounds grabbed it.

He was leading the fish in when he noticed in the clear water two others swimming bj its side, both much larger. He eased tension on his line and the bass he had hooked threw the plug. One of the other bass grabbed it immediately. It happened to be the medium sized one, later weighed in at six pounds. He was afraid to try his switch again for the still larger bass.

So he had to settle for No. 2.

Martin is the Wisconsin wins over Penn, 16-7 MADISON, Nov. 10 (P) Wisconsins defensive platoon went on a scoring binge Saturday, rolling up all the points in a 16-7 victory over Pennsylvania in a rock-em, sock-em intersectional football game.

The boisterous Badger defense, best on the nations collegiate gridirons this Fall, accounted for two touchdowns and a safety as an impotent offensive unit stuttered all afternoon before a crowd of 45,000. The victory was the fifth of the year for Wisconsin, ranked ninth nationally in The Associated Press poll. Linebacker Deral Teteak and 220-pound Taikle Bob Leu were the scoring sparkplugs for the Badgers. Teteak recovered a bad pass from center ih the end zone and Leu lumbered 39 yards with an intercepted pass to close the period. Then, on the last play of the third quarter, Pat ODonahue charged into the Penn backfield and tossed Passer Jerry Robinson hitting Tom Hanlon with a short pass on the Quaker 14.

BY STERLING SLAPPEY Nov. 10 (IP) After seven consecutive games against major teams, the unbeaten line-busteis from Georgia Tech were stopped on the ground Saturday by VMI and Darrell Crawford had to save them with passes in a 34-7 victory.

Tech 14 pass stood 24,000 on their feet; the throw covered 32 yards, including Hicks run. His passes moved Tech into scoring position for the second touchdown.

Just before the end of the half Crawford threw to Hicks again on a 71-yard play for another touchdown. Tlfe halftime score of Tech 20 Virginia Military 7, probably would have been 0-0 without the forward passes. TECHS touchdown came after a four-stop trip downfield. The drive started on Techs 37 and ended when Crawford passed to Johnny Hicks. Hicks scooted 32-yards for the touchdown.

Less than two minutes before Tech scored, VMI moved 58 yards in 11 plays for its first touchdown. Fullback Tom Birge scored on a one-yard line busting. Techs second touchdown followed a VMI fumble by Curly Powell on the Virginians 34. Crawford again passed for most of the distance to Hardeman and Ferris. Maloof scored through the line.

Jack Kelly and A1 Getz start off the action in a one-fall fight to a finish match. Princeton wins, 54-3 over. Harvard BY BILL KING CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 10 PrincetonS Dick Kazmaier continued his drive for another All-America backfield berth by passing the Tigers to four touchdowns as they gained their 20th straight football victory by overwhelming Harvard, 54-13, Saturday. Kazmaiers aerials gained 223 yards and he added 71 more overland to boost his seven-game overall total to 1,506 before retiring early in the finale, during which his high-powered forces bunched more than half of their points.

But, despite the lopsided score, Princeton bad a fairly hard task extending its streak to a hew Princeton victory record. Princeton scored the third time it handled the ball after taking the opening kickoff, and the initial touchdown resulted irom a 14-yard pass from Kazmaier to Harvey Mathis. Harvards offensive unit generated enough power to move, mostly by air, from Princetons 48 to its two, -from where Fullback Tom Ossman plunged over on the second play of the-second period. Kazmaier dashed Harvard hopes with sharpshooting feats that enabled Fullback Russ McNeil to make a one-yard scoring plunge. With only seconds to go before half time.

Defensive Guard Vic Bihl sewed up the game by intercepting a Dick Clasby pass and racing 24 yards for Princetons third touchdown. The Tigers found themselves over the Harvard goal line four times during the final period. Score by Princeton 13 7 28- 54 Harvard 0 8 0 713 Princeton 1 Touchdown, G. Stevens 2, Mathis. McNeil, Bihl.

Th Techsters as you must have know arent the only folks who send their talent scouts Alabama-way, primed for action, once open season is declared Dec. 1 for prep athletes. This states good boys continue to get more and more attention from all over the Southeastern Conference.

Its doubtful that any other Southern state produces as many top-rate SEC football players. There are lots of good ones here and lots of coaches anxious to see em around. One good one who wont be here, of course, is Wyman Townsel, the ex-Etowah flash. Wyman, who succumbed to Tech lures last Winter, didnt stay long at practice this Fall. He moved on to Louisville, where latest advices are he has been promoted to the first team.

Townsel was just about Alabamas most widely-sought-after prepper in 1950. They're all around FOR AN IDEA on how much the SEC in general thinks of Alabama material, have a look at where some of the lads are: Florida lists Guard Billy Morris, Quarterback Haywood Sullivan and Halfback Bubba McGowan, all from Dothan, and Tackle Bill Mitchum, from Gadsden, on its roster.

10 (IP) Quarterback Jack Scarbath came home Saturday as a college star by suddenly turning into 4 passer to lead his undefeated Maryland football team to a 40 to 21 triumph over Navy. In the same Memorial Stadium where he played in high school, Scarbaths passes gave the third-ranking Maryland team three decisive touchdowns La, the third quarter. Up until then, game Navy had clogged up Marylands ground attack. At halftime, Maryland held only an uncomfortable 14 to 7 lead as Halfback Frank Brady kept the Middies in the ball game by running back a punt 100 yards before 38,000 fans. That was the only real offensive thrill for Navy, which lost six games and tied the other, until the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Mike Sorrentino then pitched for two Navy scores after Maryland had run up a 34 to 7 lead. Maryland came back for another tally to make its seventh straight triumph safe.

a 27 to 6 decisidn over The Citadel. It was Meyers passing and his ability to handle the team as he returned to the quarterbacks position, that made the difference between the two teams in -a game marked by fumbling, inept football. In recent games Meyers had been used at left half to make use of his running skill. A crowd of 28,183 including 16,500 Boy Scouts who were guests of the military academy for a special Boy Scout Day, saw Army take the lead in the first quarter and add two more touchdowns on lightning-fast thrusts. The Citadel, jittery at the outset, also tallied in the third quarter to maintain its record of scoring in all but one game this season.

Meyers scored one touchdown and hurled a 46-yard pass to Lowell Sisson for another, and his passes played the biggest part in setting up the other two. Score bv periods: The Citadel .0 0 6 Army 13 0 14 027 The Citadel Scoring Touchdown, Britt. Army Scoring Touchdowns, Wing. Bell, Sisson. Meyers.
