Coach Cumby commented, saying,"
Our goal was to beat Muleshoe. We
thought we had them at the point of the
800m Relay. Muleshoe dropped their
baton and the red flag for disqualifica-
tion went. up. That would have given us
20 points and Muleshoe none. To our
dismay, our team was disqualified for
getting the stick before the zone and
Muleshoe was not disqualified.
Muleshoe received twenty points and
we received none. It was a great disap-
pointment but an improvement since the
last competition with Muleshoe."

Pheasant Roosting Habitats Explored
By LYNDAL WALDRIP
Qlsba New* Sport* Writer
DIMMITT - The key to increas-
ing wildlife population is playa
lakes and an abundance of ground
cover, according to a wildlife ex-
pert
Dr Loren M Smith, head of the
Range & Wildlife Management De-
partment at Texas Tech University,
told 60 Castro County farmers Fri-
day in Dimmitt that as one of the
state's top pheasant hunting coun-
ties, they could increase their bird
population as well as their pocket-
books.
Most farmers leasing land dur-
ing the pheasant season make an
average of $75 per gun per weekend
he said, but some make as much as
$100 per day.
“If you have a lot of cover and
grain nearby during the spring,
you'll have lots of pheasants,”
Smith said
Pheasant hens usually lay in
mid-May, but can lay anywhere
from March to July, so ground cov-
er and nearby food is important for
successful hatching, he said
The birds lay one time a year
with an average of 12 eggs The first
day after the last one is laid they
are incubated for 23 days. Smith
said The most important areas for
nesting are weedy playas and
wheat
Hens also like residual vegeta-
tion, he said Another good cover is
alfalfa, although the first cutting
could destroy the nests
"The key is to leave the vegeta-
tion," he said. “By the time the av-
DR. LOREN SMITH
tpeoks of fowl
erage brood is 10 weeks old 30 per-
cent are gone ”
The most stressful time for
pheasants is winter, which makes
high vegetation and low underbrush
a necessity. Smith said The best
winter time cover is cattails
He also said the farmer should
not bum the cattails or graze Graz-
ing drops that areas population by
90 percent
"What’s important is winter
food.” Smith said "The best is
nearby grain sorghum and com ”
For a year-round management
plan. Smith suggested starting with
winter cover, usually a 20- to 30-
acre playa lake Good playas with
heavy cover will draw birds from a
three-quarter mile radius (about 900
acres).
CRP land also will be “fantas-
tic” for nesting birds, he said Tall-
er grasses are recommended. CRP-
land will increase the population as
long as there is grain nearby
Over harvesting will not be a
problem as long as state laws on
limits are followed, Smith said Half
of the cocks available are killed
each year, 90 percent the first week-
end but only one cock is needed for
every eight to 10 hens.
Smith also suggested not releas-
ing pen-raised birds because they're
generally not smart enough to make
it.
Although quail numbers don’t
compare in numbers in Castro
County, they are one of the most
manageable game birds in the High
Plains.
To maximize quail. Smith rec-
ommends maximizing edge Some
successful management factors in-
clude fire, plantings, discing, feed-
ers and half-cuts.
Fire, on a small basis, is very ef-
fective, he said. It allows weeds to
come up, which is what quail will
feed on
Another good edge is plantings
Food plots should be planted next to
trees and brush and limited to 20 to
40 acres, he said. They should be
long and thin, not big and square
Feeders, although he doesn’t rec-
ommend them, can work well in dry
years.
Water, also is important, Smith
said. Creating tanks can help im-
prove quail numbers.

THE HAPPY Cowboy Band spon-
sored a basketball game last Thursday
evening. This was the "Battle of the
Sexes." The band raised money at the
door and by serving sandwiches, home-
made pie and ice cream in the conces-
sion stand. Votes, at a penny a vole, were
cast for the "Queen” of the evening.
Rumor has it that this group will not
perform again for 50 cents. Next year’s
admittance fee will surely be $1. but you
will get your money's worth.
Neil McCarley as "Nurse Hatchet"
won the title of "Queen" and was pre-
sented a bouquet of dried weeds in honor
of the occasion. First runner up wasClay
"The Scarlet Woman" Sioul Second
runner up was "Tantalizing" Ted Seal.
These two lovelies were also presented
a "bouquet”. The presentauon was to
have taken place at halftime, but was put
off until the third quarter to allow more
votes.
Zeke Frost was the authorized, au-
thentic announcer of the evening. His
doubtful Lone kept the pitch along those
same lines because of the change of
events preceded down unusual pat-
terns.
Zeke did introduce the players. The
Bosom Beauties tixik precedence over
the Macho Meatballs. . .and thus were
paraded first. Zeke expounded with
words on the descriptive phrases as he
introduced "Kutie" Kevin Keeler (the
band director, you wouldn't have recog-
nized him even if you knew who he
was); player and coach, "Buxum" Bill
Mayfield (no modesty); "Curvacious"
Cody Grubb (if you could have seen
him, you would have understood why
Pearl screamed when she dribbled up to
him during play); "Locious" Larry Ste-
vens (I didn't even recognize him);
James "LaBamba" Stockctt (he had a
difficult time with his attire—even the
referee couldn't "fix” it); "Tantalizing"
Ted Seal (guaranteed anonymous, even
if you knew his name, you still couldn't
tell it was him); "Devastating" Danny
White (that walk); "Nurse Hatchett"
Neil McCarley (see the picture—seeing
is believing); "Heavenly" H. L. Holland,
(he really looked as if he'd died and
already been there). Red "and Baby
Makes 2” Gales (cute); and last but by no
means least the former "Little Red
Riding Hood" and now playing "The
Scarlet Woman" Clay Stout.
The opponents: Betty "The Bird"
Stockett, "Wilt the Stilt" Kathy Holland,
Tanya "Spuds" McCarley,Carol "Fancy
Foot" Foster, Audrey "the Air" Seal,
Marilyn "Windmill" Payne, "Pistol"
Pearl Grubb, Bobby "the bombing"

dressed up in a three piece suit. Don't let
the lack of dialogue fool you. The
Macho Meatballs won this "contest” 29
to 22. (The beauties did get cheated out
of one two point shot the timekeeper
failed to record on the score board). But
the Meatballs still won.
Referees were Cindy "Never saw a
call" Gales and Vicki "I never holler at
the ref Stout. That picture may be a
litUe ’’dark".
Rules included no bra popping or
bursting of one's bubble. The game
ended with all players and cheerleaders
on the floor. Meatball scores counted 5
points, Buxom Beauties, only 2.
The first quarter was hard fought. .
.trying to get up and down die court and
preserve paraphanalia. Just as the
buzzer sounded ending the first quarter,
Machine Shaw scored and the quarter
ended 5 to 0.
Bird Stockett scored early in the sec-
ond quarter. Curvacious Grubb made
the first two beauties points and brought
the score (somehow) up to 16 to4. Stout
added 2 and it was 16 to 6. Gourmet
Dempsey landed goal. Stout sank a long
one, but missed another at the buzzer
and the half ended 21 to 8.
Devasting White landed a 2 pointer,
but they didn’t add it. Maybe he was out
of order. Will the Stilt Holland scored.
Stout added a field goal. Pearl ended the
third quarter scoring with 2 free shots
while surrounded by cheerleaders.
Kutie Keeler sank a couple of field
goals in the final period. Meadowlark
Louis accomplished two free shots with
not even elbow room enough to shoot.
Nurse Hatchett came through with a
jump, twist shot (a miracle in that garb).
Buxum Mayfield and Heavenly Hol-
land made the last two shots of the game.
. .which ended their loss, 29 to 22.
Cheerleaders and twirlers entertained
with half time performances. These, too,
were introduced and made their Grand
Entry.
Cheerleaders Jason Hobgood,
Yancey Dempsey, T. J. Seal, Jay Sims,
Monty Foster, DcJay While, Bobby
Coile and Shaun Gales. More cheerlead-
ers were Dec Ann Sims, Janalc Stockett,
Angela Schulte, Christy Payne and J. J.
Stewart.
Twirlers, who really could throw a
baton in the air and catch it, were Jimmy
Stockett (in his pink hose) and Billy
Parker and Little Evans. (We need not
tell you the baton wasn't spinning).
Videos may be purchased for $8. I
know we announced $6 last week, but
you know how inflation is. $8 for a
video. Call Betty Stockett. It is worth $8
to view Windmill Payne's size 17 shoes.
