This la the time when Old Man
Winter has just about reached his
peak and Is starting his decline to
meet Spring, which can't come too
soon for all of us including the
wildlife.
DUCKS AND GEESE
STILL HERE
With the winter we have had,
it's hard to believe so many ducks
and geese have stayed around these
parts instead of migrating South.
Some fellows have said that thoy
have seen more birds this winter
lhan they have seen for many a
year.
SPORTSMEN COMMENT
Ducks are dying of cold and star-
vation this winter. This has led
many sportsmen to ask, "Why
can 't we have longer seasons?
Seasons running into January and
February when there 's birds
aplenty. Instead of having them all
•lie of cold and starvation we could
have some shooting and use the
birds to good advantage , As it Is
now, they nre going to waste. And
still thoy want us to buy duck
stamps with what they offer for
seasons. They won 't let us shoot
them , but they will let them starve
and freeze to death.
What kind of reasoning is that?
A follow could got a meal or two
in these hard times if he could
shoot ducks." Those are the com-
ments I pick up in my travels.
SEEN OF LATE
Bob Whltely sayB, that there 's
lots of birds around Shoestring Bay
and Tim 's Cove. Ducks and geese
are plentiful,
Fran Nickols says he has seen
plenty of birds around Herring
Itlver such as geose, black ducks,
widgeons, brant , Golden Eyes and
shelldrakes.
Parker 's River jias been the hav-
en for many geese and ducks.
Ducks und geese aB well as shell-
drakes have been seen In Center-
vllle River.
Ed Walker nearly ran over a big
cock pheasant which ran across
the road In front of his car. It
stopped upon a bank of snow and
started to scratch tor tood.
A big buck was seen by Francis
Walls. He was feeding on a side
hill and merely walked off Into the
woods. Francis walked over the hill
and down into the valley. This val-
ley was covered with tracks and
the snow packed down by deer.
Ray Bryant says that he has seen
lots of ducks and geese around
this winter and that they are hav-
ing a hard time of it.
There's loads of duck around and
lots of gesee in Barnstable Marshes.
Not all of them went South, thought
Bubs Thomas.
Ten partridge were seen feeding
in a tree by a Centervllle roadside.
Paul Williams saw ducks feeding
in Bumps River. They got up but
were too weak to fly and set down
a few feet away.
Six different flocks of .[iiail are
feeding in the yard of Fred Wil-
liams . Jay Clark has been setting
out the feed ' patches.
Town Cove In Orleans has given
refuge to hundreds of geese and
ducks of late.
The Cedar Swamp In Hyannis
has two more patches of open
water. A mallard hen and drake
were swimming In one spot. Sev-
eral black ducks were resting In
another s^ot.
Henry Houle saw where three
deer had crossed a road and they
evidently had been hampered by
the drifts as he could see Imprints
of their bodies in the snow.
While going along a wood road
Bud Hebdlteh saw eight deer stand-
ing on a bank. He Bald that they
looked liked starving cows they
were so thin.
OBTAINED FEEDING FUNDS
Carl Lund of Orleans went around
Orleans soliciting funds to buy grain
to feed the birds in that vicinity.
He put grain on the shore but
the geese would not touch It Find*
ing an open spot of water he put
the grain in the water. The geese
then fed on the grain in the water.
ICE FISHING
Ed Griffin and Royce Baker have
boen having good ice fishing this
winter. The fish, mostly red perch
and pickerel , have been running
pretty big.
Saul Adler says that he saw sev-
eral fellows ice fishing on Dennis
Pond over the weekend.
An Orleans angler decided to go
ice fishing. He cut down through
18 inches of ice and came to a layer
of water. Below that was more Ice
so he put his gear under this arm
and went home.
DEER KILLED BY CAR
A big doe was kilted by a car
on Yarmouth Road just a few yards
this side ot the Mid-Cape overpass
around 12:30 p.m. Monday.
FEEDING THE BIRDS
Ray Bragg has been putting out
grain for quail , partridge and
pheasants.
Bob Shroeder maintains a bird
feeding patch In his yard. It is well
attended by quail and pheasants
and bluejays. Starlings, gulls and
grackles also find It to their liking.
Jay Clark maintains several bird
feeders filled with grain which Is
placed around theMarstons Mills
area.
Several hundred pounds of corn,
grain and seeds have been put out
for the birds by George Cross.
The West Barnstable Deer Club
was given 200 pounds of grain to
distribute for quail, partridge and
pheasants. Tina and Bob Fields
were also given grain for ducks,
geese and game birds in their area,
reports George Cross.
An earthling who landed on either
of the two tiny moons of Mars
would weigh less than an ounce be-
cause of the low surface gravity.
The slightest jump would send him
soaring off into space.
COSTUMED YOUNGSTERS AT SKATING CLUB SHOW
By HARTLEY R. DAVIS
TOO MANY POINTS
There are several versions of how Barnstable pulled the up-
set of the season by handing Dennis-Yarmouth Regional their
first and only loss..
One reason suggested was that Barnstable was given too
many points. Given ! That sounds as if they felt that they could
hand Barnstable a certain number of points and still beat them.
That's a new one ! When a team is hot you just can 't give them
anything.
Another version was that one of the officials couldn 't be
understood by a Regional's player. He was given a technical
foul that wound up with Barnstable getting seven points because
of the call the player did not understand.
Still another version was that Barnstable outp layed them
and deserved to win. Barnstable made Yarmouth come to them.
They made them play as they wanted to play and not as the
Regionals wanted to.
Yarmouth-Dennis played like a football team that looks good
until it gets down to its opponents 20 yard line, can 't put it over
and tries a desperation forward pass on the last down.
In Basketball the team that makes the fewest mistakes and
controls the ball the greater part of the game , whether it be on
offense or defense, wins.
It all boils down to: Barnstable 's winning because they
scored too many points against a team that just can 't win them
all.
WHAT AND WHY
What happened in that Barnstable-Falmouth game and
why ? Barnstable had previously defeated them and then lost on
their own home floor.
What happened to the Raiders attack ? Only eight points
in the first period. Against the Regionals thoy tallied 14 on the
Y-D floor.
Stackhouse, usually a scoring man , could muster but one
field goal. Every player has one of those nights, and a few
minutes rest here and there for him with a fresh man in the
game could have taken up the slack. Clowery might have been
just the man for the spot. Fernandes could have played more.
Barnstable made mistakes when the chips were down and
Falmouth scored too many points.
LET'S FINISH THE JOB
Our High School has some fine athletic fields. They are laid
out Very well and the turf is excellent. They are a credit to the
school.
These fields need some seats and bleachers for the fans. Good
game conditions hel p a team 's moral. Good seating conditions
aid game conditions. The football field could use a field house
under the stands. The baseball field could use dugouts.
Barnstable wants fine teams and it wants good playing
conditions. A winner completes what it starts. We have a good
start, so let 's finish the job.
SPORT-LITES By Falmouth
.Barnstable entered the game m»
Friday fresh from victory over the
Dennis-Yarmouth but left the floor
on the short end of a 53 to 43 count
ns Falmouth evened tho season s
sorieB on tho local floor.
It seemed like an all together
different team than the one that
broke the Regional's long winning
streak. Their attack slowed down
to a walk. The best that either
team could do in tho initial period
was to gather eight points apiece.
Falmouth managed to tally 13 to
Barnstable 's 10 in the ensuing per-
iod to lend 21 to 18 at half time.
In the following period Falmouth
tallied 14 to the losers* 12. With a
minute and 28 seconds left Amaral
of Falmouth tallied on a foul try
to give them a 48 to 47 lead and
Barnstable trailed from then to the
final whistle. i
Ward Btarted in where' he left
off against the Regionals and tallied
seven field goals and one foul for
IB pointB while Bisbee added five
from the floor and a trio of free
throws for 13 points. The usually
potent Stackhouse added but four
points during the evening's play.
Raiders Upset
Barnstable Playground and Recr*.
atlon Commission in conjunction
with Northeastern Skating Associa-
tion and Bay State Skating Club
will sponsor the 2nd Annual Cape
Cod Speed Skating Championship,
on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Kenned?
Memorial Skating Center.
The event will be open to all
non-registered skaters who reside
in Barnstable County,
Tho 1960 competition was can-
celled when the skating center
closed ahead of schedule following
the snow storm that deluged the
Cape on March 3, but the Initial
event in 1959 was a huge success.
Ben Thomas, Manager of the
Skating Center, stated that no
special equipment . is needed to
enter novice events. He also pointed
out that entrants need not have ac-
quired a high degree Of skating
proficiency.
Owing to the one year lapse, all
former winners have moved up at
least one class so there will be
plenty of opportunity for every one
from the little tykes, the 8 and 9
year olds, all the way up to the
"Old Timers".
The Playground and Recreation
Commission are providing: gold,
silver and bronze medals for the
first three places in each of the 21
novice events as well as a trophy
for the high point winner in the 10
classes,
Novice entry blanks can be picked
up at the Kennedy Memorial
Skating Center.
