The duck hunting was horrible but the honeymoon was heavenly, or so it ap-' peared to this writer and his dog Mick As people with nothing belter to do than read this column already know, this journey along the path of matrimony had as its principals Paul and Pat Nicholson, newlyweds fonc week. We made cai-p on the Anna River at Summer Lake Friday afternoon. The weather was warm and fair. Somewhere In the vicinity were 180,000 geese and 90,000 ducks. During most of the lime we were there, these un-soclable birds stayed on the refuge area and refused stubbornly to come over where they could be 1 ihot at We thought this was mighty Inconsiderate of To Sleep, Perchance to Scream The first night, the four of us (including Mick) slept in a small umbrella tent.

11 was Pat first experience sleeping under such conditions, and we're happy to say she came through the ordeal with flying colors. However, none of us had a completely untroubled ''Paul, who can sleep anywhere, promptly became blissfully unconscious. At least, anyone who can snore so beautifully must be blissful Pat, his bride of one short week, was too considerate to pop him on the noggin and say "quit snoring, you lug!" This writer, on the other hand, was in a fine position to give friend Nicholson a hefty kick in the posterior at frequent intervals. Finally, between snores and kicks, we all got to sleep. We were aroused a bit later by feminine cries of anguish.

It seems that Pat had awakened in the moonlight that lit the interior of Ihc tent, and for a moment her mind went blank. "What," she asked herself, "am 1 doing in a sleeping bag in a tent and who are these strange men?" At last Paul convinced her that she was among friends, thus consoled she went back to sleep 'V; Just Nothin' But a Hound Dog All was well until Mick, the dog, decided to get into the act. If Paul can snore, he's a rank amateur compared to Mick. The tent shook wildly as the dog enjoyed whatever dreams a Labrador is capable of All this came to an end at four In the frozen a.m. We Struggled outside, washed In Ice-water and ate enormous heaps of bacon, eggs and holcakes.

We hiked down the dike at shooting time with one of the most gorgeous sunrises lighting the eastern sky that we have ever seen, Bride in Hand Worth a Bird on the Wing On Saturday we shot but one hen-pintail, and on Sunday we took but three ducks, though it stormed the night before. (By the way, the writer and Mick spent the second night in the car.) The ducks and geese were in the area, but they just were not moving. A few lucky souls got good shooting, but most of the hunters dropped only a bird or two, or nothing. Paul Nicholson missed his birds, something that usually does nnt hannon Rut from nur observation, we'd say that this was Pat and Paul Nicholson eat cold lunchmeat sandwiches while wailing for birds that never came In. In background are goose silhouettes, which looked pretty to the hunters but failed lo Impress the geese.

Paul Nicholson holds the duck strap while Cliff Lemons, game commission employee at Summer Lake, takes note of birds. Com- plele records are kept at Summer Lake, Including the type and number of birds killed, and the number of hunters. (Photos by Bob Brown) Mick Catches 'Can' Fx DISTMCT I A-l Pel.

South Jayvees Whip Corvallis Jr. Saxons Unbeaten-In 24 With 47-0 Conquest By JOhTThARVEY COHVALLIS fSoeclal) Th South Salem JVs unleashed a fine array of fleet backs here Monday afternoon and walloped the Corvallis JV 47-0 to remain unbeaten in 24 gamea. The JVs have one more contest this year and It will probably be their toughest.

Thursday night they face North Salem on Bennett Field. Wes Whelchcl, Durwin Piburn, Denny Glasgow and Doug Nelson racked up steady gains through the Corvallis lino to lead the Saxons to the easy Whelchcl gained 140 yards on 11 carries including a 10 yard touchdown run as he made con tinual gains on end runs. Piburn scored three times on runs oi 6 and 4 yards. Glasgow, one of the top JV ground gainers In the slate, had two touchdown runs of 30 yards Football experts, reversing their previous opinions like a set of shifty halfbacks, today picked unbeaten Michigan State over equal ly unbeaten Oklahoma as the nation's No. 1 football team.

It was the first time this season that Oklahoma's Sooners had fin ished anywhere but first in the weekly Associated Press poll of sports writers and broadcasters. The 47-14 trouncing Michigan Slate handed Notre Dame last Saturday seems to have swung the balance. Oklahoma racked up its fourth, and record breaking, victory at the expense of Kansas 34-12. Georgia Tech Third That was the 34th in a row for the Sooners, who don't often face opposition quite as tough as Michigan State's. Georgia Tech, whose standing in the poll has been improving steadily as its victories pile up, retained third place by a comfortable margin.

After those three, the order was jumbled by upsets, but all the teams rated in the first 10 a week ago managed to stay in there as two losers tied for loth place. Michigan Slate drew 96 of 156 first-place voles this week and Oklahoma only 44. In the point scoring on the usual basis of 10 for each first place vote, 9 for second, the totals came out: Michigan State 1,356 and Georgia Tech 1,182. Tennessee moved from seventh into fourth place after beating Alabama 24-0. Michigan and Southern California also advanced three notches, to fifth and sixth.

Albany, leading District A-l, is improving rapidly, according to scouting reports, and has a team well-balanced with juniors and seniors and with a full complement of lettermen for every-position. Only blemish against the Bulldog record is a tie at the hands of Bend, which never rose to such heights again.

South Salem draws a bye this week and is hoping against' hope that North, or Corvallis next week, can upset Albany. The Vikings arc working on both offense and defense thif week against the formations and plays that Albany is expected to use. Albany, coached by Bud Gibbs, used the T-formation with 190-pound fullback, Pat Em mons; a 210-pound, 6-foot-4 end, Jim Richards; a hot passing quarterback, John Wilson; and an al- Summer Lake Hunting 'GoorP SUMMER LAKE Duck and goose hunting conditions were reported Improved today in the Summer lake region because of a light snow and blowing wind.
