WACO—An' unusually large
bobwhite quail bagged near Lake
Whitney State Park during the
recent hunting season intrigued
biologists and laymen alike.
It weighed 225 grams (7.5
ounces) as reported to Game
Warden Louis Clymer at Whit-
ney.
Speculation favored the the-
ory that this giant of a bird
was pen-raised and released
prior to a fleld trial.
This was inconclusive be-
cause the quail was not banded,
HUI County adult quall aver-
aged about 180 grams for the
season 1965-66.
Many juveniles and adults
were checked that weighed 190
and 200 grams.
The previous 5-year average
for the county is 174 grams.
Warden Clymer has been
checking the weights of quail
in HUI County for a number of
years and this rather large spe-
cimen naturally attracted his
attention. Wildlife biologists
and game wardens weigh quail

looking for sportsmen interest-

tractor gasoline for a covey
or two of bobwhite quail.
Cut up a little sod, is his
formula, especially around the
edge of timber, allowing weeds
to furnish quail food. And al-
most always the quail will move
into nature’s pantry.
Birds, say Davidson, some-
times starve to death during
hard winter months. This is-
usually indicative of a near-
starvation situation rather than
cold weather.
Birds will tolerate cold, ac-
I cording to Davidson, if they
have food to generate body heat.
I Let them lose one ounce of
weight from lack of food, and
trouble's ahead.
A little tractor gasoline used
for soil disturbance will furnish
food necessary to tolerate win-
tertime, advises the veteran.
A pair of Graham net stars
reached the semi-final round
before bowing out in the Hirschi
High School Invitational Tennis
Tournament at Wichita Falls
this weekend. Ellen Swain, one
of the tourney’s top favorites,
crushed a pair of upset-minded
opponents Friday in order to
reach Saturday morning’s
fourth round, but was defeated
by the host school's suprising
little Sissy Scott. After drawing
a bye in the first round, Ellen
had swamped Davis of Burk-
burnett by 6-3, .6-1, and de-
fending 2-AA champ Sarah
Richardson of Electra 6-4, 6-1,
before losing to theHirschigirl
6-2, 6-2. Scott won the girl’s
singles crown in final action that
afternoon. In boy’s singles,
Richard Cummins of Graham
won a fairly easy victory over
his first opponent from Quanah
and stopped J. Jones of Wichita
Falls Booker T. Washington in
a tough scrap to earn a spot in
the semi-finals, where he lost
to Hirschi’s Terry Van Huse.
The Hirschi boy had whipped
his first pair of victims by
lop-sided 6-0, 6-0, scores, but
faced a much tougher duel in
downing Cummins 6-1, 6-4.
The Steer boy’s doubles team
of Richard Landrith and Rich-
ard Layfield was upset in its
first match, as was boy’s sin-
gles entry, Bryan Bibb. Lan-
drith and Layfield drew a first-
round bye, but were edged by
King and Von Loh of Burkbur-
nett by a close margin in 8-6,
6-3. Bibb’s defeat at the hands
of R. Buckley of Quanah was by
the same score, 8-6, 6-3. Buck-
ley later lost a very close match
to M. Marzett of Washington,
who in turn fell to eventual sin-
gles champion Larry keen, 7-5,
6-4.
Gene Graham and Sue Burkett
did more than their share of
work in the girl’s doubles Fri-
day as they playedl three tough
matches, two of which went ink
an extra set. Their first match
was an easy victory over Book-
er T. Washington, but against
Bowie in the second round the
Graham girls split sets 5-7,
6-2, and trailed 1-5 insetnum-
ber three before bouncing back
i to win six games in a row to take
| the set 7-5, and the match.
The girl’s doubles team of
Jan'a Hix and Gail Shahan drew
I a bye, then trounced a pair from
j class AAAA Fort Worth I.M.
Terrell 6-2, 6-3. But in their
| next competition, Sahan and Hix
I had the misfortune to collide
with Donna Leffingwell and Judy

Coach Bud Huggin’s Graham High School tennis team visited
the second annual Wichita Falls Hirschi Tennis Tournament
last Friday and Saturday, and local netters enjoyed some
success despite the fact that none made the tourney finals.
Graham’s veterans picked up some valuable experience in
competition, and the newcomers undoubtedly received benefit
from their first tournament action. Those who hope to contend
for the District 4-AAA championship in the league games here
April 1 and 2 had a chance to study some of their rivals, and
can now work out some helpful strategy.

reached the semi-finals Satur-
day morning before suffering
defeat. Denise Smith became
champ Sissy Scott’s first vic-
tim by a margin of 6-0, 6-0,
and Jo Ann Reed met defeat
at the hands of Hirschi’s B.

bles team of Sandy Lankford
and Sylvia Willis lost their
first set to Electra 6-2, but
put up stubborn resistance in the
second set before falling by a
10-8 count.
With a well-developed tennis
program that includes a full-
time instructor and seven ten-
nis classes a day, Hirschi High
School got to keep all of those
beautiful trophies. The Huskie
netters won in all four divisions,
and three divisions saw Hirschi
netters meeting Hirschi netters
in the finals.
Larry Keen (Hirschi) and
Terry Van Huss (Hirschi) were
finalists in boy’s singles, with
Keen winning 6-1, 6-3, 6-4.
Hirschi’s Sissy Scott beat team-
mate Sally Babb 6-3, 6-3, for
the girl’s singles crown, and
Judy Rawle and Donna Leffing-
well of Hirschi stopped team-
mates Kay Lewis and Paula
Snyder 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 in con-
cluding competition of the girl’s
doubles. The only exception to
the all-Huskie rule was in the
boy’s doubles, where Larry
Carr and Bill Stewart (of Hir-
schi, naturally) beat Quanah’s
Bill Gholson and Jim Merrick.

A good gun can last a lifetime.
Such a guarantee—covering defective material &
workmanship—now goes to every 1 urchaser of Brown-
ing's O/U shotguns. But there is little reason why
most any good gun can't last well beyond the life of its
owner. All it takes is a httie care.
Too many of us get careless with guns. We fail to
clean and oil them properly. We toss them around in
the back seat of an automobile, or store them away
for several months of the year in some damp spot
where rust can develop.
In the olden days much better care was taken of
fowling pieces. In the first place, a gun was essential
to a man. He needed it for taking food and sometimes
for protection. He used black powder, with mercuric
’ primers that would cause corrosion.
Back in those days when the hunter came home he
swabbed out the tubes of his shotgun with soap suds,
or wiped his rifle barrel clean with a good commercial
cleaner capable of eliminating the mercury flakes
from the primer.
Then along came the non-mercuric primers. Black
powder gave way to smokeless and we were told it
was no longer necessary to clean a gun after every
shoot. .
Some believed this. As a result their guns became
pitted. Not from the effects of the primer and powder,
but from handling and moisture that got into the
barrels.
If you are shooting a gun every day, it still is a
good idea to clean it often. It should be wiped
thoroughly with a silicone cloth after every handling.
I know a fellow who has a cabinet containing a
dozen or more fine guns. They are behind a locked
glass door, away from easy handling. But occasionally
some friend does get to look them over. Before they
are put back into their rack they are-wiped over with
the silicone cloth.. This prevents any possibility of

MRS R. B HARRIS ,
Wichita Falls and Hirschi High Schools, with preliminaries
being held on Friday, and the final two rounds Saturday.
This writer would like once again to thank Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Swain for transportation to the tourney. They let me
go with them both days, and they took care of me, fed me,
and kept me from getting lost in the big city.
Ellen Swain and Richard Cummins battled their way to the
next-to-last round, but both were eliminated Saturday morning.
Ellen was upset by eventual champion Sissy Scott, a sophomore
who transferred to Hirschi High School from Amarillo. It
was difficult to tell whether Scott’s suprising 6-2, 6-2 victory
was a reSult of skill or luck, but it was probably a little of
both. She had to be very talented to beat Ellen Swain, defending
4-AAA champ, but some of the Hirschi girl's shots seemed too
fantastic to be anything but luck. The outcome could well be
reversed when the two meet again in league play.
Poor Ellen always seems to have the most difficulty with
opponents who have outlandish first names. Last year she lost
in regional competition to a girl named f’Rebel" Jenkins,
and this season she is upset by “Sissy" Scott. Maybe the girls
she will be paired against in the rest of her matches this year
will have nice conventional names like Jane and Mary.
BBespite some rather erroneous reporting by a certain area
newspaper Sunday morning, Richard Cummins is from Graham,
not Quanah. Richard pounded his first foe by a score of 6-3,
6-1, and used superior strategy to overcome J. Jones of Wash-
ington 6-4, 6-3 in a tougher match. Red-headed Terry Van
Huss from Wichita Falls Hirschi won his most difficult victory
of the tournament when he outpointed Cummins 6-1, 6-4 on
Saturday. Van Huss had clobbered his first two opponents
by 6-0, 6-0 scores.
Gene Graham and Sue Burkett won the most dramatic victory
of the tournament when they rallied from a 1-5 deficit in the
third set to win their second-round match with Bowie. Trailing
1-5 in the deciding set of a tennis match is roughly the equivalent
of being behind by twenty-five points in the last quarter of
a, basketball game. The Graham girls had virtually no chance
of victory, but little Gene and Sue didn’t know it, so they calmly
won six straight games to beat their opponents 7-5. Graham
and Burkett suffered defeat in their next match, however, as
they lost to a strong team from Burkburnett 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.
We didn’t hear the girls make an) excuses for that final defeat,
but this writer will gladly make an excuse for them. Going
into that final set in their loss to the Burk girls, Gene and Sue
had already played a total of 62 games on Friday, and they
must; have been more than a little tired. Their opponents, on
the other hand, had drawn a first-round bye, and were relatively
fresh. In three matches the day (a 6-3,(6-l victory over Wash-
ington, a 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 win over Bowie, and that 1-6, 6-1, 2-6
loss to Burk) the gals from Graham played seventy games.
Seventy games in one day!
Hirschi eventually won all of the championships in the meet,
but it would have been nice to see our Graham kids unseat the
Wichitans.
I have had a grudge against Hirschi ever since the 1965 dis-
trict meet! During the tennis matches here at Graham last
year, I overheard a group of Hirschi boys complaining that
the 4-AAA meet should be held in Wichita Falls, rather than
“a little town like Graham." It was time to take those big-
city guys down a notch. All Grahamites know that this city
has the largest town-square in the state of Texas, so I decided
to,enlighten the Wichitans.
I walked up to them and informed them ofour town-square.
But it didn’t faze’em a bit.
“Biggest square in Texas?" said one. “Are you refering
to yourself ’”
Sometimes it pays to keep your big mouth shut. 1‛ '

Birds from different sec-
tions of the State will out ne-
cessarily weigh the same. Ae
an example, the previoms 5-
year average weight of bob-
whites for Brown County is 171
grams, Shackelford, Throck-
morton and Wise Counties, 179
grams; and Baylor, 181 grams.
Weights change from year to
year and counties with smaul
birds this year may have larger
quail next year. Biologists said
it all seems to be geared to the
avail ability of food for quail.
