FEW DAYS TOO EARLY is the thought of Larry Cobble
as he releases a Canadian goose he caught in Finfeather
Lake in Bryan with a frog gig.
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.
Realizing that the season for
geese doesn’t open until Friday

“Walk A

and that the fine for possession—
if it should be a Canadian goose—
was pretty heavy, Cobble took the
fowl to Dr. W. B. 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.

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.’ ”
