Dandy Jack and Dr. M started
judo chopping Louie. The re

ended up on his back from a
judo chop. The Kentuckian ju
inped in the ring to help the

him too, but ended up on his
knee from a right of the Ken
tuckian, and both took off for
the dressing room with his man

The Kentuckian and Bobby Sh

wrestlers that can beat him.
The Kentuckian has asked to be

that somebody can handle Dr. M

For Hunting Safety
Obey Basic Rules, Ilse Common Sense
WASHINGTON (ANF)—
Treat every gun as if it were

horseplay with guns . . .
Don’t point one at anything
you don’t intend to shoot.
That’s the advice from the
American National Red
Cross as millions of hunters
take to the fields with their
rifles and shotguns.
The Red Cross Safety Ser
vices reminds hunters that
guns kept in the home should
be unloaded, stored in a

reach of children, and am
munition should be stored
separately in a locked area.

Newton County’s Invitational basketball tournament of three teams
will start play Friday night at the NCHS gymnasium. Henry County
and Rockdale County girls and boys teams will see action Friday
night and the Newton squads will meet the winners of these two games
Saturday evening.
Local coaches tried in vain
to secure a fourth team for the
two-night tourney, but to no avail.
The Newton County squads (girls
and boys) have traditionally won
the tournament. The Rams of
Coach Ronald Bradley have taken
the top spot since 1959, and the
NCHS girls have been victorious
since 1957. Both Bradley and
Coach Tom Wortman have yet to
lose an NCHS tourney.
This year the visiting teams
are rated an excellent chance to
dethrone one or both of the de
fending titlists. The Rams won
an overtime game at McDonough
before the holidays, and lost to
Rockdale County at Conyers on
January 2. However, the local

AN introduction to
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
Wildlife management has been
defined as "the science of mak
ing land produce and sustain
more wildlife than nature would
normally produce for recreat
ional use.” The word "land”
in this definition offers us a
clue and provides a starting point
for our science of wildlife man
agement.
Land has the ability to sup
port a certain number of a spe
cies of wildlife. This ability
is termed "carrying capacity”
and it is nature’s way of con
trolling populations. Carrying
• Wear something of
distinctive coloring so other
hunters will see you.
• Choose hunting compan
ions wisely—avoid those who
are overeager, careless, or
excitable.
• Be sure of your target.
Never shoot at unidentified
noises—wait until the whole
animal or bird is visible.
• Know the correct way
to carry your gun—under
arm, shouldered, cradled, or
with both hands. Make sure
the safety is on, fingers out
side the trigger guard, muz
zle in a safe direction and
under control.
• Be sure the action is
open when handing the gun
to another person, or when
stopping to eat, chat, or rest.

team took both games from the
visitors when the skirmishes we
re played in Covington.
In meetings between NCHS gi
rls and the other two teams in the
meet, Coach Wortman’s forces
have broken even. The deciding
factor may be the home floor
advantage in the tournament this
weekend. Starting times of the
games Friday and Saturday will
be 7 p. m. girls and 8:15 boys.
The snowy, freezing weather
Friday and Saturday of last week
caused the postponement of the
Gainesville game (here) and the
Forsyth County game (at Cum
ming). The Forsyth team was
to have been met last night (Wed

set for February 2 in Covington.
capacity is dependent on a num
ber of factors, such as food,
cover, water, predators, and
many others. These factors may
be referred to as “limiting fac
tors,” because they limit the
game populations on a particular
range or in a given area. When
populations expand beyond the
carrying capacity, then nature
quickly reduces their numbers.
The important thing about
carrying capacity is that it has
strict and measurable limits.
Nothing we do to the animals
themselves is likely to change
this for very long. For example,
if land has a carrying capacity
for 20 rabbits, we may stock
this land with any number of
rabbits and, within a short per
iod, the population will again
be reduced to 20. Nature may
accomplish this through starvat
ion, disease, weather, an in
crease in the number of pre
dators, or a combination of
these things.
The only way to increase wild
life populations is to increase the
carrying capacity of the land.
This can be done by manipulat
ing the habitat, or the environ
ment in which the animal lives.
To accomplish this, it is neces
sary to provide conditions which
permit a higher breeding suc
cess, such as establishing addi
tional food, water and cover, or
by eliminating those conditions
that prevent higher breeding suc
cess, such as control of pre
dators, insects that eat food
plants, and disease.
The manipulation of the factors
in the habitat of a particular
wildlife species, therefore, is the
objective and method of modern,
scientific wildlife management.

ATLANTA —One of the busiest
men at Georgia Tech this year
has been Trainer Buck Andel.
First it was the football season
with its multitude of Injuries.
And not it’s the basketball team
as Coach Whack Hyder and his
staff have seen their backcourt
stripped bare.
"We knew before the season
began that we could have trouble
at guard. With Phil Wagner and
Stan guth as starters, we had
no problems but behind them we
had little experienced depth with
the exception of Bob Brizendine,”
Hyder said.
To complicate matters, sopho
more Tommy Lee, a backcourt
prospect, was lot to academics
and Brizendine has been slowed
down by a severe case of blis
ters on both feet. To fill the
void, Hyder has been starting
Terry Akins and has called so
phomore John Veryzer up to the
varsity. Veryzer had been tick
eted for the Redshirts this sea
son.
"It’s hard to lose players like
Guth and Wagner and expect a
team to stay together,” Hyder
said. “Os course Phil will be
back soon we hope but it’ll still
be an uphill battle the rest of the
season.”

Big Leaguers? Major league baseball had one of its
better years—maybe the best ever. The World Series was a

in the World Series is making the trip to South Vietnam to
thrill their biggest single group of fans, the Gl’s in uniform.
Some Big Leaguers are going, but no Cardinals or Red Sox.
Maybe they’re not Big Leaguers after all?
