THURSDAY, AUGUST 17. 1961 summer sportsman "Nr• 4 -4 i f 4 Fox Hunting ‘ \,\, I 4 v Technique .I ct l aws By Don MacaladY August provides some of the best opportunities in this area for fox hunting. The area surrounding the University abounds in fox, and hunting them is simply a matter of mastering hunting technique and heading for the mountains. Some particularly good areas are on Nittany Mountain between Centre Hall and Rebersburg and on Tuss y Mountain east of Pine Grove Mills. THE USE OF PREDATOR "CALLS" in Pennsylvania seems to have caught on as the most widely-used and recommended method for fox hunting. Any of the commercial mouth blown or squeeze-bulb type calls are satisfac tory. Almost without exception these calls imi tate the sound of a squealing rabbit. After a likely location is found, it is im portant to remain motionless, though it is not necessary to be hidden The use of the call itself is a fairly routine matter. The instructions enclosed with most calls are satisfactory for mas tering the operation of it. Once the call is made, it is most important for the hunter to be vigilant. Most calls will be responded to within 15 to 20 minutes. Foxes have a way of seemingly being invisible, so it is extremely important that the hunter be shArp-eyed. A pair of low power binoculars might be helpful. THE BEST PERIOD OF THE DAY is the three hours im mediately before dark. Early morning is not a good time. Calling success, it might be added, is highest when the wind is calm. Using this technique and a low power rifle (perhaps a .22 Remington or a .22 Hornet) a hunter can have a good deal of off-season shooting pleasure. During the spring and summer of this year the Game Com mission released a record number of 11,386 mallard ducks on suitable waterfowl habitat in Pennsylvania. This total_ was by far the highest to date in Pennsylvania, and should provide im proved duck hunting throughout the state this fall. I TOOK A VERY ENJOYABLE RIDE on Sunday afternoon. It convinced me of one thing—Pennsylvania is a beautiful State. And, indeed, the area within ten or twenty miles of the Uni versity contains some of the most scenic spots in the state. Between Centre Hail and Livonia are some fine examples of beautiful mountain scenery. North along route 322 you can also find beautiful mountain scenery. Indeed, anywhere you turn around State College you can find gorgeous scenery. So the next time you feel a yen for some enjoyment and your budget is limited, take a short automobile ride and tour Central Pennsylvania—one of the nation's most scenic areas. NOW THAT THE SUMMER IS BEGINNING to fade slowly away, the thoughts of many outdoorsmen turn to hunting. From all early indications, the prospects in this area for a highly successful small game season are very good. As an example, I've seen as many as 25 ringneck pheasants in a flock as many as four times in the immediate area. Rabbits are all over the place, and I've never seen so many doves as this year. Tax Amendment— (Continued from page one) a second time in the House was due to a parliamentary law which states that at least two people. who voted with the prevailing side, may request the measure to be brought up for a re-vote. In referring to this maneuver last week, Hays said he felt this was done to give proponents of the bill more time to sway votes in its favor. He also mentioned that this might , give Governor Lawrence the opportunity to per suade the 29 Democrats who voted to defeat the bill to change their views.

The information compiled will contain many physical and dy namic principles which can be easily demonstrated. A manual containing 40 to 50 elementary experiments in mete orology, and inexpensive equip ment is now being developed by the department under the direct ion of George W.

Allen St. Football Traffic To Be Rerouted From Curtin Road Curtin Rd. from Shortlidge to the stadium will be closed on home football weekends "to provide a route for pe destrians to travel without being molested by vehicular traf fic," William C. Pelton, director of security, said yesterday, Traffic will be rerouted along more direct roads to the stadium to aid in getting traffic to and from the stadium as quick ly as possible, Pelton said. Part of the reason for the •re routing is that this year's football traffic is expected to the heaviest in the University's history. Pelton said that "we don't want people walking across fields to the sta dium because this interferes with cars which are parking in the Area," The rerouting of traffic corn ing from outside of town will be as follows: •Traffic coming from the south and east on Rt. 322 (from foals burg) will be directed by a sign near the Autoport Motel to take a right, turn at S. Pugh St. to E. Foster - Ave. which leads into the University Rd. •Traffic from the west (Altoo na, Pittsburgh) on Rt. 322 will be directed by a sign at Skytop, to turn onto the Matternville Rd. which leads to the stadium. •Traffic from the Huntingdon area on Rts. 45 and 545 will turn left at College Ave. (Rt. 45) and Atherton St. (Rt. 545) and ap proach the stadium from Park Ave. •Traffic from the east via Bellefonte will approach the sta dium from Porter Rd.
