10-C TNE DETROIT TIMES Monday, Oct. 15. 1945 In the Open Some Tall Ta ! es in Pheasant Sia*e By DOX GILLIES MOBRIDGF S D. Oct It One hears a lot of tall tale* of pheasant hunting in South Da kota. Bill Perron who runs ihe towns haberdashery store, told us one he claims is the truth. While hunting near here, a Mobrtdge man raptured a rock pneaaant found crouching in a thick patrh of weed* in a eorn ftrlri. He vtgorou*l> twisted It* neek and gav** the bird to a boy to rarry hack to ,he iAr ' But the phea*ant quickly rr vhed, raked hi* raptor * hand with a *harp pair of *pur* and took to the air. The stubborn bird sailed away through a volley of *hot* from the surprised hunter* and escaped unharmed except/ for the lo** of a few tall feather* and a badly sprained neck. 7 With One Shot Fvcr hear of a hunter gelling seven pheasants with one shot lrom a .22 rifle’ Everett Tipper of Milford. Mich, hunting here with H. H. Mills and his son Ralph. told us this one I-ea'lng town about 6 o'rlcwk expecting to get hi* limit be fore dark, the hunter noticed »e\en cork pheasant* aitting on a wooden fence rail he-*ldr the road. When he reached for hi* shot gun it wa* missing. Hl* .21 wa* lying on the seat however, and he happened to have one *heil. Stepping out of the car. he took careful aim at tne rail and pulled Ihe trigger. The bullet split the board on which the? birds were sitting and the toes of all seven were caught in the crack as it snapped shut. That might he a good shot for Ernie Brousseau’s champion Great Lakes Steel rifle team to practice next time they are out hunting. Real Hunting Fans Everybody here hunts and upon the slightest provocation will drop every thing to take you to a hunt-j ing spot. First man our party of lack f Teasdalr of Detroit. Kenny I Barber of Pontiac and the writer ran into wa* < hrsty time, manager of the BroWtt Palace Hote l. The bo vs around town call him “Windy.” but Chesty or Windy, he knows his hunting and where 10 find bird*. Leaving town at 3:30 p. m. the four of us had our grouse limit by 5:30. ••Not *o good” Windy said. •Til take you to a good place tomorrow.” Of all the stories we have heard out here no one has gone on rec ord claiming he got his limit of pheasants every day of the sea son in 1940. which would have been 200 birds. This year it is 40 birds and no one has left here with less than that number as far as we can learn. Limit in One Shot Doubles on pheasant are com mon. triples easy and many get four, but the best one we have heard was made by a local boy He saw the head of a pheasant among a thick patch of Russian thistles. The boy pulled up hisj gun and fired. Retrieving his wounded bird, he found eight, exactly his limit. Stranger still, seven were cock pheasants and only one hen. They have two different method* of hunting pheasant* <>ut here, both of which are frowned upon by Michigan nlmrod*. I>og» are not used by local hunter*. The most effec tive system I* the “drive.” Two to a dozen hunter* spread out aero** one end of a corn or stubble field and walk through to the other end. driving the bird* ahead of them. While drMng the field, com paratively few pheasant* are *e<*n or flushed until the end of the field l* In sight. Then a* the hunter* quicken their pace, the pheasant* come thundering from rover with a roar of wing* that bring* the heart of run a veteran hunter Into hi* throat. It is not unusual for 10 or 15 birds to he bagged from a single fkud. or a flock to get away un touched through a ragged barrage of poor marksmanship. Another method popular with single hunters or small parties 1 s road hunting or sjjottmg pheas ants from a car while driving slowly along the less frequented roads When a pheasant is sighted the hunter quickly *to|>* his car and jumps out for a shot.

Fla.. Oct. 13 (UPi—S Sgt. Charles Trippi, 24. described by All-America Tom Harmon at the "beat football player I’ve ever seen." said today he had been told not to talk about how he was discharged from the army with only 41 of the necessary 70 points. War department sources at Washington said Trippi was released because his commanding officer declared him surplus, under an army directive issued last Saturday. Two Tampa newspapers editorially accused Georgia con gressmen of using “influence" to get Trippi back on the Uni versity of Georgia campus and gridiron. The Times blamed the war department, which, it said. Wings' Vets Whip Barons Looking rather like ihe Toronto Old Bo>s for a g(*xi share of the evening, the Red Wings won their fourth in a row over Cleveland last night at Olympia. 5-1. Jack Adams nominated a squad almost wholly filled with true vet* ora ns and while they won handily, did not appear as impressive, as a team, as the younger Wing can didates had look I'd on Sunday. Top line of the night was one made up of Joe Carveth. Kddie Bruneteau and Harry Watson. Watson, making his first competi tive start since being discharged from the RCAF. showed he is go ing to be a strong candidate for a left wing spot. DIDN'T SCORE Thr lrnr did not score, although Bruneteau set Flash Hollett away for one of his rink length dashes to register Detroit's third goal, Carveth's pads de flected defenseman Jack Stew art's shot into the net for the first Red Wing marker. Cleveland scored first,, their lone goal by .Roy Kelly on the end of a three-man rush being the only first period tally. The Wings sewed up the game in the second period with three goals. Jud McAtec finished off a line combination play with Mur ray Armstrong and Bill Qunck enbush between the Stewart and Hollett scores. STARS TOGETHER Mud Bruneteau, S>d Howe and Carl Liscombe, top Wing scoring line of tS« past UllW KUOM) made their first appearance as a unit and produced two final period scores, hut all three must have realized they face a battle to oust some of the faster young sters. D*tro»t*» was sound. limiting the Bailors to,’ 18 shots on goal, of which 10 came in the opening period. The club meets the .Barons in Cleveland Saturday and Sunday. Before th e game Manager Adams announced Harv Jesaiman. 20-year-old goalie, ha d been signed for Omaha.

A meeting was held in New York this week. Drew Field officials said Trippi had been declared "surplus” and therefore could be released without 70 points. One sohiier said he thought Trippi could type 35 words per minute and could do clerical work now done by overseas veterans. “I can type faster than 35 words a minute,” Trippi said when asked about this. He enlisted in the army reserve in December, 1942, and entered active service in April, 1943. He served at four army bases in the U. S. At Atlanta, a spokesman for the Georgia Alumni Asso ciation said it was a sacrifice for Trippi to return school*, since “he could make $15,000 a year in pro football.” The spokesman denied any influence was used.

Then when they straighten up in beginning the downswing, the left side is pushed back away from the shot instead ol rather forward into it. This kind of swing results in a wild swoop at the ball. The clubhead Instead of coming down into the hall inside out comes down outside-in and ; across the ball. And the player gets a heavy slice. With the correct left foot faction The swing starts with a gentle sho\r off the ball of the left foot. Then as you swing down with the left shoulder rising in the shoulder pivot your left heel goes down and your whole left side is almost a perpendicular line from heel to shoulder.
