Houston Oilers
Win Fifth Straight
lo Lead League
HOUSTON — Continuing their
amazing journey down the come-
back trail, Houston’s high-geared
Oilers shoot for their sixth straight
victory under Conch Wally Lemm
when they entertain the off-beaten,
bnt ever dangerous Denver Broncos
Sunday, Nov. 26, at Jeppesen Sta-
dium.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
Lemm, whe replaced Lou Rym-
lus as head coach of owner K. S.
“Bud” Adams’ Oilers after the
Oilers had gotten off to a miserable
1-3-1 start in their first five games,
has now built the Houston group
into the American Football Lea-
gue’s most devastating offensive
machine.
Since Lemm’s arrival the Oilers
have whipped Dallas, 38-7; Buf-
falo, 27-16; Denver, 55-14; Boston
27-15; and last Sunday walloped
the New York Titans, 49-13 as
George Blanda fired seven touch-
down passes for a new AFL record.

BAY CITY
AJUSTJN — The nverage Texan
who hunted and fished in 1960
spent $157.84 as compared to
$101.57 in 1955, according to a sur-
vey of hunting and fishing conduc
ed by the Bureau of Census fo
the Texas Game and Fish Commis
sion. This survey is in addition to
the national survey of hunting and
fishing which was conducted b\
the Bureau for the U. S. Fish anr
Wildlife Service, and reported two
months ago.
Figures on the Texas survey have
been received by Howard Dodgen
executive secretary of the Game
and Fish Commission. The survey
breaks down hunting and fishing
practices of 2,425,000 Texans over
12 years of age, or 33.2% of the
state’s 7 million population. Based
on interviews throughout the state
during most of this yeur, the sur-
vey covers all of 1960.
Out of the total number there
were 1,375,000 who fished only, and
239,000 who hunted only. The fig-
ures show that almost half as many
women hunted and fished as men.
The heaviest hunting and fishing
pressure came from the small cities
and suburbs, where 36.3',; either
hunted, fished, or both, and the
rural arras, where 33.9% of the
population participated. Hunters
and fishermen from the big cities
represented only 29.1%.
In age groups, 36.3% of Texans
between 25 and 34 were hunters
and/or fishermen last year. Among
those in the 35-44 age bracket, the
percentage was 35.3. In the age
group of 12-17, 33.6% hunted and
fished. The bulk of the fishing was
done in fresh water, with 1,915,000
Texans over 12 years of age fish-
ing. This represented 26.2% of the
total population. There were 555,-
000 saltwater fishermen, represent-
ing 7.6%,. The small cities and sub-
urban areas again furnished most
of the fishermen.
The sex ration held again with
approximately half as many women
men fishing. In hunting, the pres-

average of 13.9 days per person on
13.3 trips. On big game they hunt-
ed 2,262,000 man days for an aver-
age of 5 days per hunter.
There were 776,000 fishing trips
that lasted more than one day
representing 10.6%. of the total
hunting-fishing population. There
were 284,000 hun.ers who averaged
3.9 days each. The average fish-
erman in Texas in 1960 spent 8.6
days on the water, and the hunter
spent 6.8 days in the field. In
traveling by automobile, they rack-
ed up a grand total of 1,168,700,000
miles. Fishermen accounted for 851-
200,000 miles, whereas the hunters
traveled 317,507,000 miles. The
average fisherman traveled 314.7

There were 418,000 deer hunters
ast year, who killed 208,000 Texas
leer, representing one deer for
every two persons. There were
121,000 cjuail hunters, harvesting
665.000 quail, with an average of
30.1 quail per (hunter. The 450,000
Texas dove hunters killed 14,081,-
>00 doves, averaging 31.3 each.
In expenditures, 96% of those
oersons who hunted and fished
spent $382,769,000, for an aver-
age of $157.84 per person. They
spent a total of $198,436,000, or an
iverage of $81.83, for fishing
equipment: $156,168,000, or an
nverage of $64.40 trip exnense, and
$13,649,000, or $5.63 each, for li-
censes and lease fees. It was point-
ed out that the relatively high total
cost of fishing equipment was
brought about mainly by more ex-
pensive boats.
In a comparison of these figures
with a similar survey in 1955, it
was shown that there was a 131.9 %
increase in total expenditures of
fisheimen and/or hunters. The I960
total of $382,769,000' is compared
with the 1955 total of $165,054,-
000. The average hunter-fisherman
expenses last year amounted to
$157.84 against $101.57 in 1955. On
equipment items, the average ex-
penses last year amounted to $81.83
against $36.25 in 1956. The total
trip expenditures last year amount-
ed to $64.40 against $58.27 in 1965,
whereas hunting licenses and lease
fees were $5.63 last year against
32.12 in 1955. The report showed
that slightly more than 50%, of
all Texas hunters and fishermen
last year bought licenses.
The percentage of Texans who
hunt and fish is mudi higher than
the national figure. In the U. S.
survey released in September, it
was shown that 23% of the popu-
lation of 12 years old and over fish,
ed and/or hunted in 1960. This com-
pares with 33.2% of Texans.
The average amount spent na-
tionally by sports fishermen was
$106.26, against a Texas expendi-
.ure of $130.39. Nationwide hunt-
ers spent $79.34, and Texas hunt-
ers spent $93.18. Nationally, 36%
of the households boasted members
who either hunted or fished, where-
as in Texas 47.1 % of the house-
holds have hunters and/or fisher-
men.

KULP To Broadcast
Hospitality Bowl Game
With Pioneers Thurs.
It was learned Monday by the
Beacon that radio station KULP
in El Campo would have its sports
director Frank Shannon at Gulf-
port, -Mississippi for a live broad-
cast of the Hospitality Bowl foot-
ball game between the Wharton
County Junior College Pioneers and
the East Mississippi Junior College.
The game will be broadcast over
1390 on Thursday afternoon at 2:00
P.M. It will be sponsored by Tex-
aco Inc., Frank S. Haines, Consig-
nee and his neighborhood Texaco
dealers.
In making the announcement sta-
tion manager Chuck Schwartzkopf
stated that he was happy that Mr.
Haines would again serve as spon-
sor. Haines and his dealers have
sponsored a portion of the Pioneers
games this past football season.
Schwartzkopf went on to say that
KULP again continues to bring its
listeners up to the minute sports
activities and this Thanksgiving
Day game live from Gulfport will
provide many Pioneer fans an op-
portunity to stay with W.C.J.C. all
the way.
Air time is set for 2:00 P.M. and
as a special feature before the kick-
off, a pre-game program with inter-
views of the coaches and players of
the Pioneer team and officials of the.
Hospitality Bowl, with highlights
and color of a truly fine sports fea-
ture. So have a seat on the 50-yard
line at the Hospitality Bowl in Gulf-
port and don’t miss a single min-
ute of the action on Thursday at
2:00 over KULP.
Grizzly bears in Yellowstone Na-
tional Park will shortly wear tiny
radios ’round their necks to broad-
cast their whereabouts: signals will
keep broadcasting even while the
