The Harper Herald - - Harper, Texas
Harper Bobcats Will Begin
Practice Sessions Aug. 29th
The Harper Bobcats will open
football practice Monday, Aug-
ust 29, at'2:30 p.m. In less than
three weeks from this date, the
Bobcats will open their ’49 sea-
son against Center Point in Har-
per on Saturday night, Sept. 17.
Six lettermen from last years
undefeated team will be on hand
when practice opens, but only
-two were starters on last years
team. The other four are very
inexperienced, and Coach Fox
has no idea who will compose his
starting team, except they will
be the six boys who show up the
best the first three weeks of
practice.
Twenty-six boys are expected
to report for practice and close
competition looms for starting
positions. This years Bobcat
team will be captained by Carl
Neal, a two year letterman who
was a starting end on last years
Bi-District Championship team.
All boys desiring to go out for
the team are urged to report at
2:30 p.m., August 29. Equipment
will be issued on this date, and
the first week will be devoted
mainly to fundamentals.
The Bobcat’s ’49 home game
schedule is as follows:
Sept. 17 ................ Center Point
October 1 Rocksprings
Oct. 14 (Friday) ............. Blanco
October'29 Comfort
November 12 .................... Medina
All of Harper’s home games,
with the exception of the Blanco
game, will be played on Saturday
nights. Five other games away
from home complete the Bob-
cat’s ’49 schedule, but their ex-
act dates are not yet know.

Ira McDonald-
(Continued from page 1)
of other ranchers and farmers.
In 1915, he constructed a gin
on the ranch not as a moneymak-
ing venture, but to give local
farmers an immediate outlet. He
sold it to Jackson and McLourd
in 1925.
Born In Gillespie
McDonald was born 20 miles
west of Fredericksburg on the
old StukenS Ranch June 16, 1868.
His father, the late W. A. (Gus)
McDonald had been in the cattle
business in Gillespie County
since 1853 when he came to Tex-
as a seven year old lad.
Ira McDonald attended school
near his home and at the age of
only 17 bought a flock of 200
... Delaine sheep in partnership
with John Spencer. Pie also built
gins in Gillespie County and op-
erated there from a number of
years.
From 1901 until 1903, he en-
gaged in the mercantile business
in edition to operating the gins.
He also engaged in sheep
... ranching near Knoxville, Kimble
County from 1905 until 1907
when he bought, the ranch in
Schleicher. The original ranch
contained two sections but he
had since sold a half section.
■ ~ ~ Wed In Kimble
. Mr. McDonald married Miss
Myrtle Spencer of Kimble Coun-
ty July 15, 1900. Miss Spencer
was the daughter of Frank Spen-
cer, a pioneer Kimble County
ranchman.
He had been a member of the
Baptist Church for many years
and served as deacon of the Bai-
ley Ranch Baptist Church for
several years.
Survivors include two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Floyd Farrington of
Christoval, formerly of San An-
gelo, and Mrs, E. H» Dunheim,
wife of an Eldorado ranchman.
Two children, Zena and Delbert
preceded Mr. McDonald in death.
Also surviving are three bro-
thers, Oscar of Kerrville, Sam
of La Feria, and Lem of Camp
Wood, and two sisters, Mrs. Rosa
Copple of Harper, and Mrs. Car-
ie Calentine of Harper, and eight
grandchildren^
Pallbearers at services were
Earnest Hill, Ranee McDonald,
E. W. Mundj Edgar Spencer,
John Williams, Jack Hext, J. F.
Kinser, all of Eldorado, and C.
O. Spencer of Ozona.

Comfort Whitewashes RIG FAIR UFkNS FRIDAY
Harper 13-0
Richard Leeder Hurls 1-Hitter
Comfort whitewashed the Har-
per Cubs at the Harper Com-
munity park last Sunday by a
13-0 count, with Harper using
Tatsch, Oren Cottle and H. Fel-
ler On the mound. The trio gave
up 13 hits while Richard Leeder,
hurling for Comfort, allowed
only one hit and twenty-nine bat-
ters to have him in the nine
frames, possibly one of the best
records ever turned in by a Hill
Country League pitcher this sea-
son.
- The Pankratz brothers team-
ed up to get a pair of homers,
E. Pankratz and A. Pankratz
getting credit for the two home
runs of the game.
Leeder missed out on a no-
hitter by the narrow margin of
one strike. There were two men
out in the 9th frame and two
strikes on Ewald Lorenz, when
he poked a single into left field
for Harper’s only hit of the
game.
Harper motors to Camp Stan-
ley Sunday afternoon for the
final game between these two
teams for this season.

All Hunting and Fishing Unk Hu** at Pwt *r,n»
License Expire August 31
Universal Fishing Law Goes
Into Effect Sept. 1st
Game Warden Ad. Heep this
week stated that holders of fish-
ing and hunting licenses are re-
minded that all licenses will ex-
pire on Aug. 31st and urged
everyone to secure a new license.
The new universal fishing li-
cense goes into effect Sept. 1st
and will cost $1.65. •
Fishermen who heretofore
have been plagued with a num-
ber of special licenses as they
fished from One county to ano-
. ther, will need only one license
hereafter which will be good
throughout the state. The new
license will replace the special
resident licenses which were re-
quired in 21 counties, the artifi-
cial lure license and the special
tags for fishing in Lake Worth,
Eagle Mountain Lake, Possum
Kingdom, Medina Lake, and
Texas side of Lake Texoma, The
universal license, enacted by the
5 Lst Legislature and sponsored
by Rep, Doyle Willis of Fort
Worth, may be obtained in the
same manner as the artificial
lure license now is. obtained.
However, anglers should check
the law’s “exemption” provisions
closely before venturing out on
a fishing excursion.
If artificial bait is used, all
Texas residents over 17 years of
age must have a universal fish-
ing license regardless of where
they. fish.
When using live bait, such as.
minnows, or artificial bait, ang-
lers must have a license if fish-
ing outside, the county of resi-
dence.
Under the new law, fishermen
who use dead bait may fish
without a license in their home
county, or in adjoining counties.
Worms can also be used, accord-
ing to Bleep, in their home or
adjoining counties.
Heep suggested that all fish-
erman, in order to avoid the
possibility of getting into any
kind of trouble, secure a license
on or before Sept. 1st.
Persons holding commercial
fishing licenses are exempt from
obtaining a universal fishing li-
cense for fresh-water fishing.
All persons under 17 are ex-
empt from holding , a license.
The universal license entitles
Texans to fish anywhere in the
State. However, if they cross the
Oklahoma line on Lake Tex-
oma, they must have a special
uniform license enacted by the
legislatures of the two states.
- The Texoma license, the Texas
Game, Fish and Oyster Commis-
sion decided at its July meeting,
will take effect next Jan, 1.
Out-of-state fishermen, uftder
the universal license law, may
buy a year-round license for
$5.25, or a five-day tag for $1.65.
The new Trespassing Law, as
sponsored by Rep, A. W. Mour-
sund of Johnson City, will be-
come effective October 5th. Un-
der this law no person may hunt
on any other person’s property
without permission and* all" vio-
lations are subject to, vigorous
prosecution with fines up to
$200.00 for the first offense and
stiffer penalties up to $1000.00
for later offenses.
Game Warden Heep also stat-
ed that everyone will need a
hunting license for doves, ducks,
and' other small game, such as
squirrels and quail. Exemptions
for this license are persons who
hunt the small game on their
own property. This license costs
$2.00 per year.
However, all hunters who go
out for deer and turkey must get
a license regardless if they hunt
on their own or some one else’s
property. However, a person who
hunts on his own land is entitled
to an “exempt” license for which
no charge is made. Otherwise, all
hunters pay a fee of $2.15 which
is good for both big game and
the small game.
