Comments Sports By BERNIE BARNES Ducks Unlimited will hold a dinner October 1, starting at 6:00 P.M., which will be held at the Holiday Inn. There are approximately 50 members the organization, but the dinner is for all hunters who are interested in preserving the wetlands in Canada, which are the breeding grounds for 80 per cent of all ducks In our area. Tickets will be sold by active members of Ducks Unlimited or they can be purchased at Culhane's, Koupal Anton, Commercial Bank, Weller and Dr. F. W.

Unzickers office and at the door, Additional features of the banquet will be two films (Wetlands and Pintails). Half of the ticket sales will go to Canada for the vation of wetlands while the remainder' will be used for local costs. In the three decases of Ducks Unlimited life they have done the following: Over 900 'duck factories' constructed to control water, both in drouth and Hood. Over 1,600,000 acres of prime waterfowl nesting habitat built or restored. Over 8,200 miles of vital, protective shoreline created or stabilized.

Over 160,000 ducks and geese banded. Over $20,000,000 donated to finance these programs. The above accomplishments are quite impressive and Dick Weller, general chairman from Mitchell, urges all interested hunters to attend this dinner-meeting in hopes of organizing Mitchell's Ducks Unlimited Club. Registration for this area's tenth annual Punt, Pass and Kick competition for boys ages eight througn 13 wi'l remain open through September 26. All interested boys should register at their local Ford dealers.

Scoring is based on distance and accuracy in punting, passing and place kicking. Competition begins at the local level on October 3 and subsequently moves to zone, district, area, divisional and national levels, No entrance fee or special equipment is required. There is no body contact and participation does not impair a youth's amateur standing. Although wrestling season is still a few months away, Mitchell High wrestling coach, Carroll Nelson, along with the DAILY REPUBLIC is hoping to give wrestlers in our coverage area and hopefully the state a rating suoh as football and basketball teams only on the individual basis. Wrestling coaches in the area, especially 'B' schools if at all interested in seeing such a program started are asked to drop us a line at this desk and We will try to get this started if we see that here is enough inerest in this field.

The Mt. Vernon Mustangs have had two football schedule changes the first being that they will play at Letcher Thursday night (October 1) starting at 7:30 and travel to Colome October 23 and not West Lyman as previously scheduled.

But when the National League playoffs open this weekend at Three Rivers Stadium, pitching should be tho key. Pittsburgh's pitching has suddenly blossomed after mid-season injuries hit the staff. During the last 17 games, Pirate pitchers have allowed only 40 an earned-run average of 2.30.

The Reds, on the other hand, have won eight of their last 10 games, but have not had one complete game. Gary Nolan. 18-7, recently the steadiest pitcher for the Reds, will start against the Pirates' Dock Ellis, 13-10, who won Sunday's game against New York that clinched the title for Pittsburgh. Jim Merritt of the Reds, who was hit on the elbow three record and a 2.71 ERA and Clay Carroll, 9-4 and a 2.65 ERA, are the Reds' bullpen standouts.
