Pirates Edge Devils 7-6
In Season Finale Friday
A frustrated band of Red
Devils, beset all season long by
crippling injuries and tragedy
to its thin store of reserves,
raced up and down Red Devil
field Friday night, moving the
ball virtually at will against the
Stone Mountain Pirates but
were able to push across only
one touchdown and then
missed on the extra point
attempt to give the visitors
what to them was a highly
rewarding 7-6 win over the
hapless Devils.
Coach Ron Wade, who has
seen his squad decimated by
injuries and accidents, both on
and off the field, attributed
Jackson’s five turnovers by the
fumble route and 62 yards in
penalties some of which kept
alive Pirates drive, as the
principal cause for Jackson’s
failure to clinch its third
victory. “You can’t give up the
ball five times and expect to
win,” Coach Wade pointed out.
Late in the first quarter Greg
Sutton recovered a fumble on
Jackson’s 49 yard line and on a
sustained drive the Pirates
moved to the Jackson 7 where

In addition to a scheduled
mis-match that’s rather unbe
lievable, this Saturday will be a
day when a handful of teams
had better not think about
tomorrow (tomorrow being
either Thanksgiving Day or
next Saturday) or for some of
them, there could be no

Alabama and L.S.U. have a
date on Turkey Day that should
decide the championship of the
Southeast Conference. How
ever, Miami and Mississippi
State have to be taken care of
first. The Big Ten Conference
showdown between Michigan
and Ohio State comes off a
week from Saturday, but
Purdue and lowa will demand
priority this week. And on the
West Coast, Washington and
Oregon State are the final
hurdles for Southern California
and U.C.L.A. before they meet
to settle the Pacific Eight title
on November 24th.
The Sooners of Oklahoma
continue to survive a schedule
that has dealt them one tough

Migration of Geese Is
Still Being Studied
BY POLLY BRADLEY
To be walking along on a
crisp autumn afternoon ... to
hear the distant honking of wild
geese ... to look up and see the
V-formation silhouetted a
gainst the sky is an awesome
experience.
How do they know, so
self-assuredly headed south,
that they are going the right
direction? What faraway
marsh or lake did they fly
from? What warm winter
vacation are they headed for?
And why am I so earth-bound
that I cannot spread wings like
an angel to join them in some
heavenly land which surely
must be closer to the land of
hopes and dreams than we
mundane mortals can ever
know?
The mystery of migration
isn’t yet solved (and some of us
romanticists secretly hope it
never will be), but scientists
are still studying the problem
and have found a few clues.
Wild geese and other
migratory birds seem to be
able to orient themselves in
relation to the sun. They know
how to head in approximately
the right direction. Once aimed
in the general path, they
apparently depend upon visual
cues to tell them exactly where
to go. In other words, they
remember the way.
Wild geese, being good
parents, fly with their young,
as a family group, from the
nesting ground in the north to
the southern winter feeding
ground. And the next spring,
still as a family, they head
north again together. They
usually follow water: the East

Jackson, Ga.
or West Coasts of the United
States, or the Mississippi
River. Some fly along the
eastern edge of the Rockies.
But in addition to finding the
water landmark, wild geese
can find the specific marsh
or lake or pond which is their
ancestral home. They fly each
winter to their traditional
feeding ground, and back again
each spring to the very nesting
spot they knew as goslings.
Along their route, they must
find feeding places. They do
not fly the entire distance at
once, but stop many times to
rest and eat. That is one reason
why it is so important to
protect our marshes. If too
many coastal and inland
wetlands are drained, the birds
cannot eat . . . and their
migration could not continue.
There have been many exotic
theories on bird migration. One
theory held that birds could
sense the earth's magnetic
field. However, when scientists
tied tiny wing magnets on
homing pigeons and sent them
flying through a strong
magnetic field, the birds were
not bothered at all . . . at least
as far as navigation is
concerned.
But even if ornithologists
could solve the remaining
puzzles of bird navigation and
get everything into a mathe
matical formula to feed into a
computer, the mystery itself
would still remain.
For who could ever under
stand the wonder of it all, even
if he understood the process?
And who could ever understand
the feeling one has standing
