the Falcons hit 28 of 34 shots
from the line to beat the
Cards, but Saturday, lone
collected 12 points on .18
attempts for a 67 per cent
effort.
Wheeler actually hit one
more field goal than the Cards
but they lost their edge by
calming to a more normal
eight of 19 at the line.
In other areas, the game
was as close as the score
indicated. Both teams pulled
34 rebounds, lone had 11
turnovers to Wheeler's nine
and the Cards were tagged
too early this year.
The November 4 opening for
Rocky Mountain elk is a week
later than last year. The
Commission adopted the later
date because it will be looking
at a number of alternatives
again this year to reduce or
spread out hunting pressure
for elk, particularly on open
ing weekend. The later open
ing would leave room for
special hunts prior to the
general season if the Commis
sion decides they are needed.
The Commission will pub
