Arey Podrabsky Shoots a Big One his prize elk which he recently shot in the Dixie Pass area. Can’t you imagine the commotion when he dropped this Monarch of the woods. In an interview he said: “this was the biggest thrill I have ever had in all my years of hunting. 1 could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this beautiful elk. He was so big. I dropped him with one shot.” Arey had a lot of fun showing this huge six-point rack to his friends. The horns had a spread of 36 inches high and 36 inches across. When it was dressed out he had 438 pounds of locker meat. A hunting party from Eugene helped him get the meat back to his camp—The Mill City Enterprise photo.

After fighting to a 20-19 lead early in the fourth quarter .the Wolver ines collapsed before the Cou gars to the tune of 33-20. Unable to cope with the re verse play off the single wing, the Wolverine* gave up too many scores to recover when their offense disintegrated be cause of a definite lack of block ing. In the scoring column, Larry Drake powered in for San’iam’s first score and tallied «m a pass play for the second. Mike Gleason accounted for an extra point. Then Ron Cannon bucked in for the final tally with Larry Drake adding the final extra point. Scoring for Gervais was too much to enumerate. One back scored four touchdown»—enough to sink the Big Red single- handedly. Enough sak*. The disappointment accom- panying this loss was felt by all the loyal rooters who braved the elements to watch the Wol verines. The team just did not play up to their potential ana this, rather than the loss was the cause for complaint.
