Several years ago, the young-
ster was taken deer hunting by
his father to act as a watch-
dog.
Two years ago, he caught on
fast and shot instead of barking.
And bagged the family's first
buck while his dad snoozed in
the blind. .
Last fall, he was reinstated—
but just temporarily.
Before the elder Henke could
wake up to see what the sho-
oting was all about, John, Jr.,
at the ripe old age of 13, had
blitzed two fine bucks.
And what a shame!
Everybody noted it had been
such a fine companionship.

in the meet. Robert Monteith

1:58.0 time in the 880 yard run,
tying a mark set by a Lawton,
Oklahoma athlete set one year
before. Larry Smith of Abilene
won the pole vault event with a
vault of thirteen feet, six inch-

Jeffries, also of Abilene, in
1962.

HUGE MULLET
TAKEN FROM
FRESH WATER
MATHIS—A huge specimen of
the common mullet, usually
found only in saltwater bays,
has been taken from the fresh
waters of Lake Corpus Christi.
A commercial fisherman,
working under contract tor the
Texas Parks and Wildlife De-
partment, called Game Warden
Frank Henze to identify a fish
he had taken in his nets.
Henze was amazed to find
that the fish was actually a
mullet which weighed eleven
pounds.
“I’ve never seen even a small
mullet taken from these waters
(Lake Corpus Christi) before,"
Henze said.
poachers sooner or later, she
was caught red-handed by an
alert warden.
Doubtless realizing that the
fair sex now at last enjoys equal
status with the men folks, the
Court promptly “threw the
book" at the unique offender,
with a cash fine and rescinding
her hunting license for the cur-
rent state fiscal year. Licenses
are forfeited only on the more
flagrant. Infractions at the dis-
cretion of the court.
That will keep the lassie and
her gun grounded until Septem-
ber 1 when the new licenses
are effective which, of course,
would be in time for the dove
season opener and the Rio
Grande Valley whitewinged dove
hoe down, assuming these sea-
sons are provided.
The female's unhappy ex-
perience headlighted a monthly
report covering 668 violations
netting $21,207.36 in fines and
court costs. Fines ranged up-
ward to $200 plus costs, mainly
for big game violations.
One hundred forty-nine per-
sons were charged with lacking
either a hunting or fishing li-
cense, about equally divided.
Sixty cases were filed for as-
sorted closed-season hunting
violations plus an additional 51
for shooting geese in closed
season.
Hunting at night tripped 70
persons.
Oddities included two cases
for killing protected birds, one
tor lacking a shooting preserve

mit search, four for hunting

Graham school board has
called "strike three” on the

the Graham Leader and Report-
er learned this week.
Superintendent of Schools
H. A. Hefner stated that the
board made its decision to dis-
card the sport because It is an
expensive game and there is lit-
scenes stunt tricks with his
buddles from the Hollywood
stunt mens’ professional orga-
nization (and stunt gals, too),

But Dean’s main ambition, to
become an actor, is shown to

ence will have to decide if he
has what ft takes. Linkletter
thinks he has.
The Hollywood Talent Scouts

Dean Smith, born and raised
to Graham, Texas, and a Gold
Medal winner in the Helsinki
Olympics, makes his network
television debut, this Monday
night, with Art Linkletter on the
new “Hollywood Talent Scouts"
show on CBS-tv, at 10:00 p.m.
(9:00 p.m. Central Time).
Dean, who was raised by his
grandmother, Mrs. Ollie Smith,
of Graham, went to Graham
High School and was one of
Texas’ fastest sprinters when
he attended the 'University of
Texas to Austin.
After joining the RAMS pro-
fessional football team in Los
Angeles, Dean was invited to
do some part time motion pic-
ture stunt work. And he is to-
day, one of Hollywood’s best
known, and most respected stunt
men.
But now that Dean has had a
taste of Hollywood, he’s more
interested in becoming an actor

course, followup laboratory in-
vestigations determine sex,

He said the winter inven-

adding that the studies are par-
ticularly important in the reg-
ulatory authority areas where
the Department must deter-
mine harvest regulations.
inventories are made of all
major waters at least four times
a year. And if the random date
previously pinpointed brings
snow and ice, the nets are low-
ered and lifted, despite ice on
the nets and on finger tips.
And if any avid anglers brav-
ing the elements are noticed on
location they are tapped for a
creel census to implement the

Graham's tennis team will open its season on Monday, March
7, against Archer City on the local court. Coach Zack Huggins
announces that his “A” squad this year will be: Ellen Swain,
girl's singles, Gene Graham and Sue Burkett, girl’s doubles,
Brian Bibb, boy’s singles, and Rick Layfield and,Richard Lan-
drith, boy’s doubles.
The team will play in the Hirschi Tournament in Wichita
Falls on March 18, and the Brownwood Tournament on March
25. District competition will be April 1 and 2 in Graham.
Several members- of the team are veterans from 1965. Ellen
Swain won the District 4-AAA crown in girl's singles, Bryan
Bibb competed in the boy's singles, and Gene Graham was a
member of the girl's doubles team that reached the second
ropund before losing to eventual champ Hirschi.
It seems that the girl netters from Graham High are at home
whether they are battling it out on the tennis court, or perform-
ing on stage. This writer enjoyed watching Gene Graham and Sue
Burkett in their excellent portrayals of Annie Sullivan and Helen
Keller in the Junior class play a week ago, and we feel that
those gals should go far in tennis warfare this year if they
tackle their foes with the same efficiency that they displayed
in handling their tough roles to “Miracle Worker.” And defend-
ing district champion Ellen Swain is a talented singer and guitar
player. All of this leads us to doubt the truth of that old myth
that says a girl can’t be both athletic and feminine.

We hope readers will permit us to brag about our “old
school” just a little bit. This writer attended Garland High
School not many years ago (yea black and gold), and we still try
to keep up with the fortunes of Owl athletic teams. Garland is
usually a school that produces very hard to beat football teams,
but this year the emphasis seems to be on basketball.
Garland has won the championship of District 7-AAAA, and
Tuesday night the Owls trounced a tough John Tyler team to bi-
district by a score of 58-36. Their next opponent will be old rival
W. W, Samuells from neighboring Pleasant Grove. Samuells, the
Dallas city champ hammered out an easy win over Fort Worth
Paschal Tuesday.
Several outstanding coaches passed through Garland High
• on their Way to successful college careers. Most famous per-
haps is Chuck Curtis, who moved from Jacksboro to Garland,
where he produced back-to-back state football champs. Curtis
is now an assistant at S.M.U., and is considered a top prospect
for a head coaching job. Bill Ellington also coached the Owls
to a state football crown, winning the class AAA title to 1956
with a 3-0 win over top ranked Nederland. Ellington now serves
as assistant coach under Darrell Royal at the University1 of Tex-
as. Herschall Kimbrell, head basketball coach at G.H.S., dur-
ing the late fifties is now head coach at McMurray College to
Abilene.
Graham and Garland have one thing in common. Both have
contributed, football talent to the Baltimore Colts pro football
team. Jerry Don Logan, who played his high school tootball at
Graham, is a teammate of Bobby Boyd, a Garland Owl star
from 1953 to 1955. i
During the past few seasons,
local athletes have tried to
compete to both baseball and
track, and as a result Graham
has not had a great deal of
success to either sport. Con-
centrating on track alone, Gra-
ham may be able to build a
stronger team for the district
meet that will be held early
to April. It should be point-
ad odtithat BrecthrsagW, Veru
hom andWrdwAwo0a, which‘ad
not support baseball teams,
have dominated the lengue to
track and field during recent
seasons.

visions for schools of different

Last year’s Possum King-

ports a start on the 1966 mourn-
ing dove feathered tidal wave.
Before the recent cool spell,
he checked 135 citrus trees in
an orchard north of here and
found three active mourning
dove nests. Two nests had young
birds in them. The other nest
contained two eggs.
A fourth nest which was not on
the transect (census zone) con-
tained two birds almost of fledg-
ing age.
Three active mourning dove
nests on the transect is equiv-
alent to approximately three
pair per acre.
Citrus growers reported the
recent near-freezing weather
did not seriously harm their
orchards which are a favorite
: nesting area for both mourning
\ and white-winged doves.
