FLEAWEIGHT WRESTLERS who have
been providing a lot of halftime entertainment
for the fans attending the high school wrestling
matches at the BHS gym are pictured above in
action. The two are Mark Ellenberger, age 2%,
and his brother Timmy, age 5, sons of Mr and
Mrs. Tim Ellenberger of Brevard. Mr. Ellen
berger was quite a wrestler when he was in
college, and apparently some ot uaa s en
thusiasm for the sport has nibbed off on his
young offpsring. Young Mark seems to be get
ting the worst of it in the above photo, but he
usually manages to hold his own against Timmy,
much to the delight of the fans who seem to enjoy
watching the youngsters “perform”. (Times

BHS Cagers Lose To
Jets And Bearcats
A power failure at the Enka
High gym last Friday night
stopped play in the Enka
Brevard boys game, but
Enka’s Sugar Jets defeated
Brevard’s girls 45-34 and
Enka’s Jayvees whipped
Brevard’s Jayvees 63-52
before the lights went out.
Tuesday night, all three
teams got to play here against
Hendersonville, and all three
went down to defeat as the
Bearcats rolled to their 12th
win of the year by a 83-62
margin, Hendersonville’s
girls won 40-23, and Brevard’s
Jayvees lost by a 66-50 score.
Last Friday, one of WNC’s
premier girl performers,
Jayne Arledge, led the Sugar
Jets; to victory as she con
tributed 21 points to Gnka’s
cause in their 45-34 win. None
of Brevard’s girls were in
double figures.
The boys game did get
started, and the Blue Dvils
were leading the Jets 8-2 when
the lights went out. Wed
nesday night the teams got
together to finish the game,
and the Jets downed Brevard
by a 86-77 margin.
The Blue Devils increased
their lead to 32-20 at the end of
the first period, and were
ahead by seven, 42-35 at
halftime. But the Jets surged
NJtipd in the final two
quarters to claim their tenth
win of the year.
Brevard placed four players

than they can eat, simply out
of bloodlust.”
This is pure poppycock, and
any first year student of
wildlife biology or animal
behavior would find it
laughable. In the first place,
some animals do kill their own
kind, and some species do so
routinely. Many animals also
apparently kill for “sport” or
out of boredom, and they
certainly often kill more than
they intend to eat. This is a
wll-documented fact.
Weasels, for example, have
been known to kill dozens of
rodents with no intention of
eating them. There are many
other carnivorous species
which do the same. Someone
with no understanding of wild
animal behavior apparently
long ago started the rumors
Harris cites and despite ample
evidence to the contrary, they
still get repeated from time to
time.
Harris may be closer to the
truth when he states that “in
truth, man is the only animal
that every other animal is
frightened of and threatened
by; the only animal who up
sets the balance of nature and
short-circuits the evolutionary
process by his greed, his
vanity, and his glib
rationalizations.” That’s a
pretty glib rationalization in
itself, and much of it is un
supportable because man—
despite his shortcomings—is
part of the evolutionary
process.

May Stamp Out
Some Litterbugs
Com starch may be the un
doing of litterbugs.
And while it may not rid the
country of all types of litter,
it does promise to cut down on
the army of plastic polluters.
Agricultural research scien
tists have found that adding
com starch to standard formu
las for polyvinyl chloride and
polyvinyl alcohol makes new
plastics that are degradable.
Most plastics now on the
market don’t decompose easily,
but accumulate in disposal
dumps and litter other areas.
Some release toxic compounds
when burned.
The new plastics have been
produced in USDA laboratories,
but have not yet been made
commercially. Scientists think
it’s possible to form them into
trays, eating utensils, packag
ing materials, and other dispos
able items. Another possibility
is their use in thin films for
mulching vegetable crops.
Besides reducing litter pollu
tion, scientists say the com
starch additive can stretch the
supplies of petroleum-based
raw materials now being used
for standard plastics.
It is true, however, that man
has the means to bring about
rapid and sometimes
disastrous changes. But it is
also true that man has the
greatest means to use this
power for admirable goals,
and wildlife management and
research supported by hunting
is one of them.
It is certainly not true—as
Harris suggests—that “our
persistent war on wildlife is
marching to devastation
beneath a soiled banner two
centuries out of date.”
Anyone who believes this
owes the rest of us (and the
world’s wildlife populations) a
favor. Get a good basic text
book on wildlife biology and
read it. Learn what your State
and Federal wildlife agencies
are doing to enhance and
protect wildlife populations
(and find out who’s paying for
this).
What you learn will amaze
you. You may even realize
that both hunters and anti
hunters are seeking the same
goal—a sound future for all
wildlife populations.
