p Tar 's TICK By DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS&GROUNDS Page 4—Smoke Signals, Wednesday, December 8, 1971 isravGS Defeat Cougar Chowan College opened its 1971-72 Basketball season with a victory over Chesapeake College Cougars by the score of 83-78. The Braves were led in scoring by diminutive Randy Michie who connected for 28 points followed by Nat Wright’s 22. Mike Oliver came off the bench to score 12 points and was a rebound leader with 9. The Braves, who were unable to get their offense going satisfactorily, nevertheless, pulled out the victory by holding off a second half surge by the Cougars. Chesapeake had made up a 10 point, 44-34, halftime deficit by out scoring the Braves 28-17 during the first 10 minutes of the second half. Gary Salve’s foul shot put Chesapeake on top 62-61, but Chowan quickly tied the score and went ahead to stay, on a field goal by Randy Michie. The Braves pulled out to their biggest lead of 76-70 with 5 minutes left in the game, but a blocking foul on Jackson under the hoop and a technical foul on Wright gave Chesapeake two foul shots and the ball. The losers connected on both charity tosses and converted the ball possession into a field goal to slice the six point - advantage to 76-74. Chowan hung on to a slim 3 point lead until Michie’s 2 foul shots with 9 seconds on the clock, and pushed the final margin to 83-78. The Braves had started fast scoring the first 7 points, but Chesapeake came back on a shooting of Freeman and Maioran to take a 25-20 lead. At this point the Braves blitzed Chesapeak to the tune of 20-4 over the last 8 minutes of the first half for their seemingly comfortable 10 point margin.

Olive Spils Home Opener for Braves, 78-71 Chowan College opened its basketball season at home on a sour note with Mt. Olive taking advantage of Braves’ errors to race to a 78-71 victory Tuesday night, Nov. 30. Chowan held the lead until the Trojans tied it at 30 with three minutes left in the half. Mt. Olive held a 36-33 advantage at half- time and did not relinquish the lead. The Braves’ top scoring threat, guard Randy Michie, was limited to five points in the first / half and ended with 16. Oowan was led by forward Nat Wright who scored 22,12 in the final half. Chowan narrowed the Trojans’ lead to 36-35 to start the second half but Mt. Olive soon pulled away. The second half was marked by aggressive defensive play by the Trojans which caused the Braves to continuously turn the ball over to their opponents. At the same time Mt. Olive used its fast break and accuracy of forward Mike Cherry to open up a 12-point lead with four minutes left. Chowan narrowed the gap to six with two minutes remaining but the Trojans made two quick baskets for their final points. Cherry led all scorers with 24 points to atone for a below par performance in a losing cause in the Braves’ gym last year.

The Braves defeated Frederick last year to take the crown. One of the members of Frederick’s team of last season, guard Pat Callahan of Norfolk, now plays for Qiowan. He saw brief action against Mt. Olive and is slowed by injuries to his knees. December, ah December. This is the most prolific month of the year for the hunter. The season is open at some time during the month on all of North Carolina’s game except wild turkeys and marsh hens. In the past, we have had a turkey season during the fall and winter months, however, in an effort to help reestablish the turkey populations, the season has been changed to a “gobbler only” spring season. The rather mild fall and winter that we have had, is putting a delay on the migration of ducks and geese to our part of the State. Reports from some of the local duck hunters say that on most days they have been able to limit out, but that the birds are already becoming decoy and blind shy. I am hoping for some good cold weather between now and Christmas so we will have a good huntable population for the holidays. It takes more preparations for a duck hunt than any other type of hunting. One can take off and go still hunting for deer or squirrels on short notice but for ducks it is different. One must prepare a blind or locate a suitable place from which to shoot. The preparation of a blind may take as short a period of time as half-a-day for a shore blind or the better part of a week for a stake blind (one over water). Since it is very expensive and difficult to build a stake blind very few people go to that much trouble. Instead, they construct a shore blind at a likely looking spot or at a point that is known to be a good location. There are several rules that should be followed. First determine the ownership of the property and secure permission to build and use a blind on his property. With permission granted, set out to build the blind with these things in mind. Use only natural vegetation and materials which will blend into the background. Keep it low, and if possible build it at some odd agnle so it will not appear to be “box-like.” If possible the blind should be constructed before the ducks arrive in the fall. When this is the case the blind appears to be a natural landmark and the birds accept it readily. After the blind is built, other preparations must be made. They include accessibility to and from the area to be hunted. The transportation of decoys and a multitude of other “necessities” always creates problems. After all these preparations are complete and the day to hunt arrives it usually turns warm, with a bright sun and no wind, a true “Bluebird Day.” I repeat... it takes preparation!! North Carolina has two areas of good duck hunting which are open to the public. The area at Bodie Island has twenty blinds that are available by reservation or on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no charge and usually the shooting is good. For more information write to the Chief Park Ranger, Cape Hat- teras National Seashore, Manteo, N. C. The other area is Pamlico Point at Lowland, N. C. This area comes under the Game Lands of North Carolina and requires a $6.50 permit. The area is reachable only by boat and is open to shooting only on Wed nesday and Saturday. The shooting at Pamlico Point is usually excellent for Pintails and Widgeon. For more information write to Clyde P. Patton, Executive Director, N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission, Raleigh, N. C. At long, long last the drought is over. After an unbelievable period of two years and two days I was able to bag a buck. I was also lucky enough to get a mountable head. At the taxidermist’s in Suffolk, Mr. WUliams told me that the deer heads to date were fewer in number and smaller than in previous years. After seeing some of the “small” heads he had on display I almost brought mine back home. The NRA reports that hunting is by far one of ths safest of the participating outdoor sports. While you are home for the Christmas holidays, be careful and don’t let a good time turn into a tragedy. Have a safe, enjoyable holiday. December, ah December!!
