S OUTHERN£ WILDLIi m
Why?
The shipment for sale in Ala
bama of game fish, with the ex
ception of black bass, caught in
other states will be permitted un
der a rigid inspection system. A
state and federal law prohibits
the sale of black bass under any
conditions.
This announcement followed the
Alabama Supreme Ccurt’s refusal
to review a Geneva County case
involving the sale of fish caught
out-of-state.
This will affect bream and crap
pie mostly. Why, fellows, as one
sportsman t" another, should a
state protect its own natural re
sources, then turn right around
and encourage the destruction of
its neighbor’s very same resources
by allowing them to be sold in
that state?
It isn’t right. We’re supposed
to be civilized. The day has long
passed when you can go out and
get your limit in crappie or bream
any time you wish. And the day
should be even longer past when
any type of commercial fishing
for or sale of these fish should be
allowed.
What are sportsmen for if we
can’t fipht for our rights? This
column is syndicated all over the
South. Let’s all grab a card this
very day, address it to the Su
preme Court, Montgomery, Ala
bama, and lets’ ask them what this
business of their allowing game
fish to be sold in Alabama if
caught in another state is all
about. The trouble with is sports
men is that we always let some
one else do our writing, fight our
fights. “Let George do it” is all
right for the slackard. Let’s each
one do it this time!
And now we ask the State of
Alabama, with reference to allow
ing such regulations—Why?
Hell Hawgs of the High Crags
The title is all ours. If there’s
anything closer to being a “hell
hog” than one of those ugly,
fierce blood-in-eye, Tennessee
wild mountain Russian boars we
want to know about it from a
safe distance, of course. Or you
might engage one in battle with
an army tank and send it in dead
for comparison. Be sure it s dead.
The Tennessee Department of
Conservation has announced its
Second Wild Boar Hunt—October
27 to November 28 in the 85,000
acre Tellico Fish and Game Man
agement area. These genuine wild
tuskers were brought from the
Ural Mountains and placed on a
leased preserve in 1912. Later the

Lone Star deer data should prove
interesting to everyone. The editor
of the Burnet “Bulletin” had heard
tales of the great number of deer
on the “Birdtown Road” going
west from Round Mountain in
Blanco County toward Liano. He
was exceedingly dubious. Now in
his own words:
“Last Sunday afternoon we de
cided to count the deer seen on
this road. In a distance of less
than five miles on the highway
and a mile and a ialf in Carl
Smith’s pasture, we counted ex
actly 133 deer—73 on both sides
of the highway and 60 in Mr.
Smith's pasture. The largest
bunch numbered 14, another 12,
and there were several o f from 3
to a half dozen. At least 80 per
cent of the deer were not yet
grown. There was not an antlered
animal in the bunch. This story
may sound unreasonable to some,
but it is the absolute truth.
Experiment stations, through
fertility, variety, fertilizer, dates of
planting, and other cultural tests,
have contributed much to increas
ing yields of small grains.
Heavy, well-drained types of
soil with a good amount of fer
tility is best adapted for wheat.

Company “C” Wins First Tilt 12-0;
Will Meet “B” Company Tomorrow
Hightower Scores
In First Quarter;
Norton In Second
A blood-thirsty “C” Company
drove to two first half scores on
the Emory campus Friday to come
away with a 12-0 victory over
stubborn “A” Company team.
“A” took the kickoff and had
its back to the wall the entire.
^irst from half. With forty a drive that start
ed the yard line, and
went down to the “A” four, High
tower smashed through on first
down to put “C” into the lead by
a six-point margin. Hightower
attempted a place-kick for the ex
tra point but the ball failed to
clear the goal post, falling to the
left of the line,
The second period saw another
‘C” score when by a series of suc
cess i V e liife smashes Hightower
carried the ball deep into the “A”
territory. He then took the ball
on a reve r Se from Norton, faded
back and shot a pass to Coleman
w b 0 was bit on the two yard line.
Norton, on a straight line buck,
the ^ail over f 0 r the score,
A g a m, Hightower s kick fell short
0 f the uprights and the half end
ed w jth the score in favor of “C”
company, 12-0.
j n second half, “A” took
t b e fj e ] d w fth a determination to
play ball and held the “C” team
to a standstill the entire third pe
riod. Blount stood out in this pe
riod, driving hard, time and time
again, for gains of four and five
yards per try. “A” threatened
to move into scoring territory on
ly one time in the game, and was
turned back by a fumble on the
•‘C” thirty. This was as far as
“A” advanced into “C” territory
in the game.
Fumbles and intercepted passes
were numerous, with “A” having
the edge in fumbles recovered, and
“C” in passes intercepted.
The closing moments of the
game saw “C” once again move
to within the scoring zone, going
as far as the four yard stripe, on
ly to be turned back when the “A”
forward wall held for downs, and
the ball went over. It was in the
closing minutes Hightower was in
jured and was forced to leave the
game. It is doubtful that the “C”
star will see action in the next
game.
