Hunters Report Porcupine
Population Is
By GRADY PANNELL
. Observer StaH Writer
Deer and elk hunters' have re
ported an increase in the porcu
pine population of Eastern Oregon.
A large number of the quilled
animals may be found in the
Waterman Flat area northeast of
Prineville. However, further
spread of the critters was prob
ably contained due to a fire.
It all started one evening after
the fire crews had been laid off
and sent home. Four of the state
forestry officials. Norman Boyd,
Hon Smith, John ' Lang.-cll and
Bob Medsen, were in camp getting
ready to leave the next morning
when one of them netcd what
appeared to be a spot fire on the
mountain side outside the (ire line.
They jumped into a pickup and
drove up a road to look across the
canyon. They saw no: only a
small fire but many porcupine.
They killed 31 of the animals,
thanks to the fire warning.
Wild boar hunting?
1 Next to hunting big game in
spo ts in the country.
Possibly the best boar hunting
in America can be found in the
border mountain area of Tennessee
and North Carolina. The Tellico
Plains region is another favorite
spot.
Wild boars, a transplanted beast
from Russia, can bear down on a
hunter with the speed of an express
train and, for his size, he can
maim or even kill.
There are intrepid souls who
hunt these crafty woodland ni
mals with the bow and arrow, but
the sport is generally carried on
with a pack of special hunting
dogs and hunters armed to the
gills.
Shooting preserves may operate
in 41 of the U.S. states, but at the
present. Maine, Vermont, Massa
chusetts. North and South Dakota.
Wyoming. Monliha, Alaska and
Idaho have no legal provision for
the establishment of such pre
serves. More preserves olfer pheasant
or quail shooting, but an increas
ing number also furnish fine pass
shooting for flighted mallards and
shooting for chukar partridge.
Preserve shooting offers ex
cellent hunting over fine dogs to
urban sportsmen who might other,

Washington's Huskies, piloted
by a one-eyed quarterback, take
another big step on the road to
the Rose Bowl Saturday when
they battle with the badly-battered
California Golden Bears in
Berkeley.
The Huskies are favored be
cause Cf their fine record, which
shows only one defeat this sea
sonto USC and because of the
all-around brilliance of Bob
Schloredt, their pilot. Schloredt is
the' second lea ling passer in the
Big Five; is second in total
offense with 107 yards rushing
and is one of the leading punters
in the country.
Against this, California has won
only one game all season. The
Bears have been tough o.i occas
ionsand push-overs on others.
If they are "right" it could be
a battle.
USC Faces Baylor
Meanwhile, down in the south.
the unbeaten, untied Southern Cal
ifornia Trojans, third-rated team
in the nation, battle oft-beaten
Baylor.
But if this sounds like a push
over do't believe it. Baylor has
won only three and lost four
games. But last week the Bears
came up with their greatest per
formance of the season only to
lose a one-point decision io lexas,
the second-rated team in the na
tion.
A convincing win over Baylor
by the Trojans conceivably could
mbve USC up another notch in
the ratings, right behind Syracuse.

Even coach Jack Curtice is wor

(UPI) Vice-President Richard

when he declined to predict the

Nixon hedged by saying that

in the league could beat any

The little guy- one-time Univer
sity of California quarterback
9iil former LeaJ coach t Sd
Maiy's College, is o:ic of the few
;ut-spoken mentors in the game.
Always Has An Aiswer
When asked a question he has
an answer. He doesn't hem and
ia a id teat around the bush.
If he thinks officiating was
'ousy. he'll say so in public. If
one cf his boys has a bad day,
ne'll tell him. If the lad has a
good lay. uT Joe will be the
irst to tell the public. Verducci
isn't adverre to getting a little
jublicity himself but nut at the
xtense of his boys. s
After his team routed Sacra
mento State the other day by a
J7-14 score, Joe opined:
This bacxfield of mine, when
made up of Jimmy Sochar, Hank
Marshall. Charlie Fuller and Ed
gar Rollins, probably is good
enough to play for a major
league team . like California or
Stanford."
"Verdooch" not only coaches
the Gators, but on Sundays he
scouts the San Francisco Forty
Niners for other major league
pro clubs.
High On QB Sochor
And he touts any of his boys he
believes may have a chance to
make a go of it in the pro game.
Right now he has a quarterback
named Sochcr with all the re
quired abilities.
Verducci campaigned against
the banning of "platoons" and
the elimination of unlimited sub
stitution in college football. "
"I think more youngsters should
get a chance to play,'' he
claimed, "If we have unlimited
substitution, more would get intd
every game." :
The nation's major college
coaches wouldn't listen to him
but the Far West Conference,
apparently, did.
It is believed to be the only
conference in the country still
playing with unlimited substitu
lion rules. .
