Local Hunter Catches Goose With Frog Gig By JIM BOWER Battalion Editor Armed with just a frog gig and a miner’s lamp, Larry Cobble, chief of custodial services for A&M, g-ot the jump on geese and duck hunt ers only to discover he was a few days too early to keep his catch. Cobble was after frogs in Fin- feather Lake, located in Bryan city limits, when just before moon- rise he caught sight of an object slowly moving along a mud bank just outside the range of his min er’s lamp. He thrust his 12-foot frog gig toward the object and the spiing trap on the end locked loosely around the neck of what turned out to be a Canadian goose. The goose was unhurt by the gig.

Davis, head of the Wildlife Management Depart ment here, for positive identifica tion. Davis identified the goose as be ing a branta canadensis hutchinsi, commonly called the Hutchins goose which is a small form of the Canadian goose. Cobble is a well known hunter in this area and had “a pretty good idea” the goose was a Hutchins but “juist to be sure” he took it to Davis. The continental traveler was re leased since the Wildlife Depart ment already has two of the spe cies in its collection. Davis has a collector’s license which allows him to collect various animals and fowl. When released, the honker made a slow circle over the Petroleum Engineering building and then flew off toward the Gulf Coast area, winter home for ducks and geese. COL. JOHN F.

Adlai Vetoed Pension Raise “Senator Kefauver, commenting on Stevenson’s veto in Illinois of a 10 per cent increase in old age bene fits, said: “‘Mr. Stevenson says he vetoed the bill because the Legislature did not provide funds to finance it. But the fact is that Mr. Stevenson also vetoed an amendment which would have provided $14 million to pay for the increased cost of old age pensions.’ ” -WASHINGTON STAR, May 26, 1956.
