Indians made the bettor showing in the 11th and 12th would win and I think 1 took those two think I said Griffith a two-time world welter champ and three-time middleweight king now 36 made a couple of mistakes but he hurt me The decision is just one of those things a good fighter but he land any solid punches I thought I threw the most effective punches but he put ou a more effective show with his left jabs love to fight him Licata a classy boxer scored repeatedly with his jabs and left hooks to the head occasionally throwing a right and often forcing Griffith to back-pedal Griffith landed good shots to the head and body from close range but Licata weathered everything with ease really thought my jab was a bit sluggish said Licata gave me some pretty good shots especially body punches He is a punishing body puncher but I never was in any kind of Asked if like a bout with world middleweight champion Carlos Monzon who defends the title against Jose Napoles in Paris Saturday night Licata said: is a classier fighter If I can beat Griffith I think I can beat Menard Ballinger San Angelo and areas which generally support good populations of quail due to the type of cover and food which usually is available have all been good hunting spots this year Overgrazed land in some portions of these areas however have done just what any quail hunter would expect force virtually every quail into other nearby areas which do have the right type of cover IN YEARS past finding places to quail hunt for free too difficult a task However with various chambers of commerce and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department continuing to encourage landowners to charge hunters to hunt on their land such hunting far from being a thing of the past Hunters therefore will have to rely on their knowledge of the bird and what type of cover it needs to survive before reaching into his billfold to day lease a place to hunt To put it bluntly some land-owners are more concerned about making a few -extra dollars off a lot of novice hunters who know any better by leasing them land which hold a meadowlark much less a quail tried to hold the said Ram coach Al Peters whose side only trailed by seven at

leapors and ball-handlings So good in fact they are ranked ninth in the nation They got the respect of the Rams running off 19 straight points in one second half stretch en routp to a convincing 79-50 triumph at Sid Richardson Center WITH A starting unit composed entirely of out-of-staters the Indians circled TWC in the second half with a sticky press forcing turnovers which usually went for layups

Quail hunting and bass fishing may not seem to be comparable outdoor sports to many neople but to the who is serious about both they are more alike than any other two sports 'When a quail hunter hunts a place he has fre-q many times he does the same thing the bass fisherman does when he fishes a lake which he already knows goes to the places where he has found his quarry on past occasions When the quail hunter hunts a strange place however he does the same thing the bass angler does on a new he looks for the type of cover he knows his game will be hiding in Chapparral bushes catclaw bushes mesquite trees little gulleys and dry washes with cover especially in the little headers plus brushy creek banks and bushy hillsides all are likely places to find quail Open area with only grass as cover also are good bets early in the mornings and late in Old Milk Cartons Helpful Aid To Get Old Campfire Started WED THUR5 FM SAT Wednesday the evenings when the birds are going from roost to feeding areas or vise versa COVER THOSE same areas with a few feet of water however and you'll have some of the best bass fishing spots you could ask for Bass like quail often feed more during the early morning and late evening hours spending the mid-day hours in the middle of bushes and trees or lying around other good cover Quail likewise feed more during the early and late hours convering up during the mid-day hours in the areas with the best cover There ara exceptions to both however and it's these exceptions both the quail and bass hunter must keep in mind when he find the quail or bass in the areas he thinks they should be in There are times when quail will feed almost all day long and the same holds true for the black bass ALTHOUGH THE Texas quail hunting season in most counties is held at a different time of the year than when the bass fishing is generally the best on most lakes the park will be constructed next to the Hacienda and facilities will include hook-ups at each space a coin-operated laundry complete recreation building and a supplies and accessories store There will be both a swimming pool and a wading pool fenced playground for children plus adult recreation areas with shuffleboard horseshoes and a miniature golf course It is hoped the facility will be completed for the 1974 camping and vacation season First of the Las Vegas hotels to build for the RV

lessen highway accidents due to strong winds They have installed airport-type wind socks in high wind areas so the driver can tell at a glance that the wind is reaching high mile-per-hour levels or is blowing strongly in gusts or both Thus Wyoming becomes the second state that we know of which has these socks along windy stretches of the highways New Mexico has made this a practice for several years THE NATIONAL Campers and Hikers Association long a sponsor of camping clubs and fellowship local ecological practices and good camping manners has announced that its 1974 National Camp-vention will be held at Spence yard atvayd WM timing of the two seasons be much better Quail season in most counties will come to a close Feb 15 and that's generally when the bass fishing just begins to get good since the bass on most lakes will be heading into shallow water around the middle of February and the first of March Just how have the quail hunters been doing this year? Just as you would ask that same question about bass fishing the answer depends on just which hunter you arc talking to Quail hunting as a whole has been good although the weather has been against it IN MOST areas where there is plenty of adequate cover and food there are plenty of quail This holds true especially for those areas which generally have an abundance of quail during the prime years The dry weather however has made good dog work a rarity especially in working the singles Too much dust on the grass and bushes plus generally warm weather lately has hampered the ability to smell the birds Seymour Throckmorton Field near Moultrie Ga The dates will be July 15-18 and that translates Monday through Thursday so you can arrive early over the weekend and get acquainted before the

four points per contest And those four points would have made the difference in seven of the 11 losses this year But NT coach Gene Robbins can't mull over behind him not with powerful Drake visiting
