The Saxons will be work ing on a season record that has seen them win five and lose but one. The Viks have, won twice, lost twice and tied another. Last week the Saxons roared back from their 7-0 defeat at Eugene with a 53-0 walloping of Leban on, and the viks ran into an up set at Bend, losing 7-0. The Mustangs, coached by Bob Misley, aren't a particularly big outfit! but can move. They are paced offensively by Bill Haller at quarterback, a capable ' 138 pounder. 160-pounders Bob John son and Dick Schneibel at half back spots and 140-pound Wally Gowey at full.

Early season waterfowl, in the majority, are not yet in full winter plummage and it is often difficult to tell the drakes from the hens, especially in flight For this reason hunters will do better under most conditions to use only the hen decoys. Only here and there will one see a mallard drake in full, brilliant plummage. The Doa Barter indication that the ducks . of that day were very dumb.

Some of the few birds. Others tell us they nave not seen so many in years. From our own observations through the summer and early fall we are inclined to go along with the latter group. During September, when we shot doves, we saw lots of pheasants and it is difficult to believe that they have left the country. Hunters will get a better. break, this year with the waterfowl and upland bird seasons opening at the same time. Neither the waterfowl nor the uplanders will be spooked by early shooting at the other as in past seasons. Of course there will be a few unhappy duck hunters.
