Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge Adds
Public Use Specialist to Staff
Santa Ana National Wildlife Ref-
uge has added a new position to its
staff, announces Resident Manager
Wayne A. Shifflett. The title of Pub-
lic Use Specialist has been filled
by Bryan Robinson who comes to
Santa Ana from the Wichita Moun-
tains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.
Robinson’s primary duties on the
Santa Ana Refuge will include in-
terpretation, photography, writing,
illustrating, environmental educa-
tion, and enhancement of visitor’s
appreciation for wildlife refuges.
The new position is stationed at
Santa Ana Refuge but will also in-
clude assignments to the Laguna
Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge
behind Padre Island.
Robinson received his B.A. in Re-
creation from the University of New
Mexico where he also earned a
composite minor in English, photog-
raphy, art and public speaking. He
spent one year in Regional Head-
quarters at Albuquerque, New Mex-
ico where he designed and wrote
leaflets for .Region II. During this
same time he spent a short assign-
ment- at Buffalo Lake National
Wildlife Refuge in Texas.
After; graduating in 1969 he was
stationed at Havasu National Wild-
life Refuge in the Mohave Desert
for 10 months. Havasu Refuge is on
the Colorado River dividing Califor-
nia and Arizona and provides habi-
tat for waterfowl and desert big-
horn sheep.

the Wichita Refuge which provided
60,000 acres of prairie and mountain
Bryan Robinson
for buffalo, elk, Texas Longhorn,
deer and turkey.
Bryan and his wife, Anne, reside
near San Juan and are expecting
their first child about the first of
the year. He says he is already
sure he likes the Rio Grande Val-
ley and its friendly people, and is
looking forward to helping people
learn more about the Refuge and
its varied wildlife recreational op-
portunities, the U. S. Fish and Wild-
life Service, and the National Wild-
life Refuge System.
HERE IS THE EMPTY CHAIR AND OFFICE of former head coach
Charlie Williams, who has gone to Alice High School after a ten year
stay at PSJA, where his football teams compiled one of the best rec-
ords in the state of 77-24-5. This “empty chair” is expected to be filled
on or about Feb. 1st.

7,000 Pheasants
Bagged in W. T.
The nine-day Texas Panhandle
pheasant harvest was down from
last year, according to Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department officials.
Hunters this year took approxi-
mately 7,000 birds compared to 12,-
000 last year.
Biologists for the department
blamed the decrease in harvest on
a number of things including a low-
er population of birds this year and
rain and snow before and during
the season.
The bad weather before the sea-
son prevented farmers from turn-
ing under the large tracts of crop
stubble, and during the season,
hunters had a difficult time driving
to hunting areas due to the mud.
Only 35 percent of the hunters
this year got birds compared to 57
percent last year.

OPEN TO ALL
WELL, HOW DID YOU LIKE
THE SUPER BOWL? After such a
great build up by the news media
(sports writers of every type), it
was somewhat of a let down. The
good play of the Cowboys did not
surprise this writer, as he has fol-
lowed sports long enough to know
that the “worm” always turns in
sports, and sooner or later, the
team that has taken it on the chin is
going to rise up and redeem them-
selves. The Cowboys were overdue
to “redeem” themselves and they
did it in a convincing fashion. The
score might well have been 31 to 3,
or at least, 27 to 3, had they chosen
to kick the field goal late in the
game.
Miami probably did not play up
to their capabilities, while the Cow-
boys did. The Dolphins were in the
game the first half, being down only
10-3, but when the score went to 17-
3 and the Dolphins still were having
trouble making a first down, you
knew the jig was up.
The Cowboys got stronger as the
game progressed, and were success-
ful in stopping the vaunted running
game and prevented their famous
pass snatcher, Paul Warfield, from
getting anywhere near to catching
a long bomb. He did catch a few
short ones finally.
This writer predicted the Cowboys
would win by 10 points or more and
predicted the score at 24-14 or 20-10,
take your pick. We just over-esti-
j mated the Dolphins. Baltimore or
[Kansas City would have given the
I Cowboys a much harder and closer
I game, but the Cowboys were just
ready to win, and we don’t believe
anyone could have beaten them
this time around in the Super Bowl.
Miami didn’t make a last quarter
all out effort to score — which sur-
prised us. In the fourth quarter
with only seven minutes left, they
were still trying to “establish” a
ground game. They should have
been throwing that long bomb or a
short one to Warfield. He might

have coaught a couple.
The most peculiar gripe printed
was that by “Mercury” Morris of
Miami who complained about the
Cowboys running with the ball on a
4th down and three situation. He
(Morris) talked like he wanted them
to kick a field goal (which would
have run the score up some more
and was pretty much a sure cinch).
Then the Cowboys would have had
to kick-off. So that was the meat in
the coconut — he wanted one more
chance to make a good kick-off re-
turn! We don’t second guess him
for that but you don’t play football
like that — we thought that was the
one smart play that Tom Landy
sent in.

OF INTEREST TO SHEET AND
TRAP SHOOTERS is an announce-
ment by Remington Arms that they
are producing a new target load in
shot sizes of TVz, 8, 8% and 9. Of
special interest to the skeeters is
the 8Mj shot size and the one piece
construction of the shells. The 8%
will have 80 more pellets per load
than 8’s and 140 more per load than
7V2S. The one piece construction
appeals to the loader as it can be
used more times than the conven-
tional shell. A recent issue of “Gun
Week” had more details.

ODDS AND ENDS PICKED UP
here and there in the world of sport
— The little high school of Roma
has the “hottest” basketball team
in the area at the moment. Recent-
ly, they scored 148 points in a
game, which is averaging 3 points
per minute. When you break 100 in
a high school game, you are really
rolling. High school games are only
48 minutes. . . . W. C. (BILL) LE-
MAIRE says he failed to bag a buck
this last season for the first time in
40 years. But he said he could miss
a few as he had killed 64 in his life
— 49 in the Valley area. (He missed
the hunting season because of a se-
vere heart attack suffered shortly
before the season opened.) . . .
The PSJA QUARTERBACK CLUB
has come up with another fine
speaker for its annual banquet. He
is DONNIE WIGGINTON, the star
at Texas U, who brought the Long-
horns to the Cotton Bowl. (He de-
flected to A&M after the Bowl
game). . . . Ten years ago, CHAR-
LIE WILLIAMS was elected head
coach of the Bears. He was the only
one considered for the job. (See ten
years ago column.) . . .
New Head Coach
Will Be Named
By Feb. 1st
A new head coach and athletic
director for PSJA schools is expect-
ed to be named on or about Feb.
1st, Supt. Dean Skiles declared' this
week, following the regular board
of trustees meeting Monday night.
There were a total of 15 appli-
cants as of Monday night. Some of
the applicants are from the present ____
staff, some from in the Valley and \ burg,
some out of the Valley. Supt. Skiles
said he thought the list was ade-
quate from which to select a new
head coach.
The board was presented the list
of applicants for the first time on
Monday night in an executive ses-
sion but no action was taken. Two
of the trustees were absent. The
election of a head coach would not
be taken until all trustees are pres-
ent, Skiles said.
The Monday night session was
the first time the board has had to
discuss the vacancy since the re-
signation of Charlie Williams on
December 20th.

Conservation Film
Is Available
The award-winning conservation
film, “Biologist and the Boy,” is
now being distributed by the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department's
film library.
The 14-minute film, narrated by
Arthur Godfrey, deals with the
threat to the nation’s estaurine
areas. It was financed by the five
Gulf Coast states in cooperation
with the U. S. Department of Inter-
ior’s Bureau of Commercial Fish-
eries.
There is no charge for use of the
film, and its length makes it suit-
able for luncheon meetings.

ing. There were slightly more bucks
than does taken in the hunt.
A total of 81 percent of the deer
harvested were under 314 years of
age. The oldest was 7% years old.
