Poysinger Agent Sports Afield By TED KESTING On opening day all squirrels peek more or less boldly at the hunter. Flirtation ceases about the third shot, however, and from there on bushies become steadily harder to find. Near the end of the season hunters may get the idea they’ve cleaned out all the squir rels. Don’t believe it. They’re still there and all you have to do is change your hunting tactics. Below are four methods listed by Lee Yeager in an article in the November issue of Sports Afield in which he discusses hunt ing strategy to use during the squirrel season: Open stalking—Mpussy-footing”'' slowly and quietly through timber, with frequent short stops in sha dow of trees to look and listen. Sit and wait—quiet waiting at likely spots, usually at base of large trees or similar cover; sel dom more than 15 or 20 minutes in a place. Hide and wait—persistent wait ing in good cover at key points for' periods up to about one hour. Wait on Travel Route—persis tent waiting on squirrel “passes” to and at food, such as wooded lanes connecting timber and corn field. Waiting period may be two or three hours, sometimes longer. A corn field is always top squirrel pasture and it grows practically everywhere over the squirrel range. However, in some parts of the Appalachians*'* the South and even in the Ozark hills, sizable cornless areas do occur. It is in the bigger woods—everything from a square mile up, and especially up—that straight sitting and waiting for squirrels after about mid-October may fizzle out. That’s because food is no longer concentrated in quantities large enough to hold big squirrel build ups; the bushies have to scatter out to feed. The need for finding food pock ets, or cornfields, late in the sea son thus becomes perfectly plain. Waiting on travel lanes, in the vicinity of grain or peanut fields, or at some untapped grape or berry tangle is the most sure-fire method of hunting squirrels that I have found. Food holds the key to good squirrel shooting through the fall. But comes December, and often earlier, something else begins to make the plumetailed folk take notice. That’s love. Love-smitten bushies make the easiest shots in the woods. In detecting their presence, your ears serve you better than your eyes. You’ll hear before you see two to six animals cavorting through the trees. The female will be leading, pursued by the older bucks, followed by the younger males. So try for the last squirrel, both as a conservation policy and because his meat is more palat able. mi Wm • iiiif SSmSaiSmmSSStSSmmv^v.vir.*.v-sw.v This an' That Alfred Vanderbilt, guest at the Thoroughbred Club of America’s annual testimonial dinner, says his great horse Native Dancer will race as a 4-year-old, possibly in Europe as well as America . • .

THE TENDERFOOT By James Harsh H E HAD the makings of a good cowpoke, thought Dan Baker, despite the city whiteness around his young face and the timid way he topped the Bar Z’s gentlest horse. Rockets. It was a comical sight and Dan leaned against the corral and chuckled. Dan’s broth er-in-law, Ridgely Parker, finally squared himself away and was sitting Rockets like ho might be on top of ten tons of dynamite. Just about the time Ridgely had acquired the minimum amount of confidence Les Wills, the foreman fired his .45 over Rocket’s head and the big grey took several mean twists in the air and Ridgely Park er was eating the dust that lay thick on the floor of the corraL “The darn gun went off by ac cident, boss,” Les Wills grined at Dan who was trying to keep a straight face while helping Ridge ly off the ground. “Get at her again, boy. That’s the only way you're ever going to learn to ride a mean critter.” The young man climbed on again and began walking the ma^-e around the corral. Dan and Les walked toward the house, leaving the tenderfoot to learn the tricks of cowboying for himself. Toward sundown a stranger rode Into the Bar Z. Dan and Les rec ognized Slick Dawson by the grim set to his mouth and the way he had of sitting his horse, almost as if he had grown right out of the saddle. The two men sat on the porch beneath the cool shadows of late afternoon and watched Slick ride up to Ridgely who was still jogging Rockets slowly around the enclosure. There was a stillness In the air and Dan and Les strained against the quiet, trying to hear what Slick had on his mind. They figured It was trouble. Slick had that reputation. , "You alone?” Slick Dawson asked Ridgely. his eyes roaming the surroundings as if looking for someone. “Yes.” The tenderfoot lied, not knowing why. ‘T need a horse bad,” Slick said. pointing to the swollen fetlock on the big black he was riding. “1 don’t have any money, but If you take an I.O.U. I’ll pay what I owe when I’m through this way next week.” “Well, Mister, I don’t see how I can do that. I don’t own these horses .. . and I just couldn’t. . Ridgely Parker was starring Into the open barrel of a .45. “Then I’ll just help myself to the bag of bones you’re riding. Mighty thoughtful of you to have her all saddled and waiting tor me.” Slick dropped off the black and jerked Ridge out of the saddle and dumped him on the ground. Dan and Les rose together, but they stood their ground. Dan wanted to see the tenderfoot and the horse thief against each other. Ridgely moved against the cor ral, fists clenched in anger as he watched Slick Dawson mount Rock ets. It was at the same moment when Slick spurred Rockets in the direction of the gate when the ten derfoot picked up the loose plank and slapped it with brute force against the corral siding. It sound ed like the report of a .45. Ridge turned just in time to see Slick Dawson reaching tor the thin air. Rockets twisted In the late after noon until he was sure his rider was no longer on top. Ridge land ed squarely on Slick and by the time Dan and Les reached them the fight was over. Dan stood over the bruised horse thief shaking his 5 head in disbe lief. He turned toward Ridge. “Plum dirty trick, boy, to leave you here alone. But I wanted to see if you could take a good scar ing. I got to hand it to you, I never figured you would guess Rocket’s makes a fuss every time she hears a loud noise. I reckon he can stay tor good, Les. About time the Bar Z had some brains around here.” Ridge smiled. He’d never tell Dan or Les that he’d slapped the plank against the corral in a fit of anger. He’d never tell them he figured that Dan had hired Slick to scare him M Y WIFE thinks Pm getting too fat. Perhaps I am a little large compared to her 5 feet and 98 pounds. But after all. I’m 6 feet and 195 pounds of muscle, even if she does say most of the muscle is now around my middle. As a result of her unreasonable attitude, I am on a diet. To attempt this torture was the only way to keep her silent. The first two days were not so bad. I wasn’t really hungry- But, man, that third day. I woke up about 1 a. m. and patted my stom ach and it was so hollow it sound ed like a bass drum. I sneaked out of bed and into the kitchen without awaking her. I opened the refrigerator and stood there gazing in admiration at the remains of the roasted chicken we had had for dinner. (My part was one thin slice of the breast—so thin, in fact, could easily have read a newspaper through it.) Honestly, for all of three minutes I stood there fighting that devil called temptation. He won without raising a sweat I reached for a drumstick. “Oh, no you don’t,” says ths wife. “Come on. Rover, back to bed with you. You’re on a diet, remember?” “Yes, my love,” I mumbled and shuffled off to the bedroom. You know, that woman doesn’t trust me. She locked the bedroom door and put the key under her pillow. Today is the fourth day and Pm still on that diet. That is I’ll be on the diet for another 5 minutes. As soon as this column is finished I’m going across the street to the res taurant and order a steak. I realize, of course, that if she persists in my dieting it is going to be very expensive.

It was not in classrooms, nor even in synagogues or temples, that the most distinctive teach ings of Jesus were given. It was in the open, close to nature. This was as it should have been in that time in the genial, outdoor atmosphere of that little land of Palestine. It was typical of the religion in which Jesus had been brought up, and of the Scriptures that He knew so well. To the Hebrew writers the heavens declared the glory of God, and the firmament showed His handiwork. Psalm 19 spoke of a language of nature, unspoken, without words, but that nevertheless was heard through all the earth, as day unto day uttered speech and night unto night showed knowl edge. Two things were very real to the Psalmists and Prophets. One was the law of God and His providence in nature, the uni verse a manifestation of law and order. The other was the law of God in the heart, the assurance of right and wrong in life and con duct, and of man’s highest at tainment only when he lived in accordance with God's law of righteousness. A superficial sbserver might say that ours is an age of the out-of-doors, full of travel, ex cursions, play, picnics and loaf ing. But how much of religion is there in it all? It must be evident to any care ful observer that the general public has strayed far from the essential Hebrew and Christian view of God and nature. It is not the 'religion of the Dut-of-doors, but the irreligion jf it, that mostly characterizes our modern way. How much in this, as in other things, we need to learn from hose who found a joy in God and i pleasure in His world, that few f ttain today! RE-VAMPS FARM PBOGBAM . . .
