Call Your Shots, Please, Gents
Personal plea to irate fans who don't like decisions rendered on
soldier punch parties in local cauliflower court:
Please, sires, if you must toss the pop bottles, be sure they
land on the leeward side of press row. We've applied for one of
those "GI" crash helmets from the army, but have been Informed
same is not forthcoming till we get the suit, shoes, socks and all
the rest of the trimmings that go with it.
Can't say we blame the grenade tossers last week despite the
chance they take on creasing somebody's skull, as the decision ren
dered in the "Jitterbug" Collins-Johnny Sennino session was a trifle
on the steenko side. ' - :
The unpopular nod was about the only thing wrong with the
entire show, however. There wasn't a mismatch in the whole she
bang, probably due to the fact the Seagulls and Mountaineers had
met before and by being rematched gave the matchmakers an op
portunity to pair the right men for the right bouts.
And the Legion fathers need look no longer for a capable
replacement for departed Frisco Edwards as referee for their
frolics. Packy McFarland filled the bill to the proverbial T
Friday ' and in one Instance particularly showed he knew what
he was doing. In spite of Johnny Cruikshank's let me at im
pleas and the "let 'em fight" from the crowd, McFarland. rightly
halted all proceedings In the main event. That gash over Cruik
shank's peeper looked like someone hit him with an axe.
Heavy Winter Toll on Deer Family
Reports gathered through "The Forest Log" say that various
sections of eastern Oregon have suffered heavily throughout the
winter in the loss of mule deer. Snow: and coyotes are blamed.
In the Catherine creek district of Union county there usually
has been an over-population of deer. On a recent trip Into the
area L. C Morehead, district warden, and Clarence Yonmans,
Inspector, saw 208 starving deer in seven miles along Catherine;
creek. - Eight deer were dead along the right of way.
It has been reported that many carcasses of deer, evidently the
result of coyote work, and numerous live deer all said to be in poor
' condition are in the district west of Suplee on the lower Crooked
' river. " '
M. E. Crawford, district warden of the Black Butte State '
Forest Protective unit, recently reported varying deer conditions
in that area. . ,;;:: ;. s:
On the other hand, the deer in the Grand Ronde district are said
to be in good condition, and according to Crawford, he recently counted
some 130 In the Stevenson mountain sector northeast of Prineville,
all of which were in excellent shape.
No, the Item says nothing about the possibilities of a deer
season next fall, or about obtaining ammunition should there .
be one. V: -:;H. -v ; '-",'
