Despite all the planting of multiflora roses—and other cov er plants—the birds had been wiped out. Opponents of the state - owned quail hatcher at Tyler, including some biologists who work for the state, thought it was a bad invest ment. But that quail hatchery dur ing the past several months has poured some 21,000 quail back into the Coastal area. Barring another disaster there will be a great come back of the wonderful bobs next year. Just to release these birds in the wilds probably wouldn’t have done the job. Fortunately the landown ers and sportsmen’s groups, with the help of game personnel, saw to it that the birds were properly pro vided for. Shelter, cover and feed were made available. The bobs were given every chance to make a comeback in a land that had been swept bare of their species. There wifi be some shooting in the area this year. Generally, how ever, landowners will keep their places closed in an effort to give the quail a good start. Hunters who do take birds are requested to turn bands over to game wardens. This is so that a careful check can be made both of the new hatch and the bird migration. QUAIL, especially the bob, is a wonderful upland bird. In many states it is considered a song bird and is on the prohibited list. Biologists long have considered this an unsound policy because of the heavy die-off and predation during the winter months. They contend that only about 20 per cent of the birds carry over from one year to the next. In other words-, if the hunter doesn’t get them, something else will. And the quail is one of the finest eating bird; species in the world. So from the devastation of Carla may come not only the restora tion of quail in that stricken area, but perhaps the salvation of the entire quail hatchery program. * IMS THE BATTALION Thursday, June 27, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 7 tfililll ISIS I Repeat Open Winner Julius Boros poses with the trophy after winning the 1963 U.

(AP Wirephoto) Roberts, Matson Add To Successful Track Season FIRST STOP: MOSCOW A&M Track Signee Picked For European Competition An Aggie and a prospective A&M trackster were among eight Texans who were able to improve on individual track efforts this season. In a year that saw five state records bettered and one tied, track and field hit an all-time high in the Lone Star State, according to a recent feature story by the Associated Press. A&M’s senior weightman Danny Roberts sailed the discus 180-9 1 A> for a new state mark. Pampa’s Randy Matson, who signed a letter of intent with A&M track coach Charlie Thomas two weeks ago, dethroned Roberts with a new Texas high in the shot put, 60-6, earlier this month. McMurry’s Bill Miller was the first Texan to go past 26 feet. He turned in a 26-2 effort. Warren Bratlof of Rice hit the all-time Texas high of 16-1% in the pole vault, Ed Red of Rice launched the javelin 260-7% for the best state - 4 effort yet in that event. - - -- Abilene Christian College’s Den nis Richardson equaled a 9:3 rec ord in the 100-yard dash earlier in the season and then his teammate Bill Woodhouse later matched that time. James Matson, who is scheduled to join A&M’s track team next season, was chosen last week as a member of the 50-man team to represent the United States in four major European meets this sum mer. The 225-pound Pampa lad took his place among the currently rec ognized giants in the shot put as Number-4 man behind Dave Davis of the Marine Corps, Gary Gubner of New York University and Parry O’Brien of Pasadena, Calif. MATSON SET a Texas record in the shot put with a 60-6 toss two weeks ago at the United States Track and Field Federa tion Nationals in Houston. He beat A&M’s ace weightman, Danny Rob erts, who had held the state mark for two years.
