SHARKS' 1953 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Will Meet Two Class AA Teams, West
Columbia And Port Lavaca, Also Sweeny
Palacios Sharks will meet three
old football rivals when they don
their uniforms next September,
according to an uncompletc sched-
ule released this week.
Coach R. C. "Sharkey” Shelton’s
charges have scheduled West Col-
umbia Roughnecks and Port La-
vaca Sandcrabs, both AA outfits,
and the strong Sweeny Bulldogs,
a Class A squad.
The Sharks will renew an old
feud with the Sandcrabs when the
two teams meet here on October 2.
Palacios last met West Colum-
bia in 1948, when they were in
the old 27-A class with Bay City,
El Campo, Lamar Consolidated,
Wharton, Boling and the Rough-
necks. The next year the Sharks
were put back in Class B and since
then the two teams have not met.
Palacios met Sweeny about six
years ago when the Bulldogs were
a Class B powerhouse. Since then
both teams have been advanced
to a Class A classification.
The Sharks will open their foot-
ball' season September 11 against
a Corpus Christi “B” team but
arrangements for this game are

Board's Largest- Call
Set For January 28
When 36 Will Leave
The largest induction call in the
history of local Selective Service
Board No. 91 is scheduled January
28, Mrs. Lola McDougall, clerk, said
this week.
Thirty-six men at least 20 years
old will be called for induction that
date, she said.
On January 27, 25 men register-
ed with the local board, which
serves Matagorda and Jackson
Counties, will be sent for pre-in-
duction physical examinations and
10 will go to be re-examined.
Mrs. McDougall said the January
induction call will deplete the local
board’s reserve of draftable 20-
year-olds, leaving the barrel dry
for February calls.
Information released from na-
tional selective service headquart-
ers hints that February calls will
be even heavier than this month’s.
Re-Slocked Areas
Prove Profitable
For Deer Hunters
Minnesota boasts the greatest
water area of any state.
Spotted results from the cur-
rent big game season which ends
December 31 were reported by the
Executive Secretary of the Texas
Game and Fish Commission.
He said the harvesting of deer
ranged from good throughout the
Edwards Plateau area to “light and
bad” in the country to the west-
ward.
The Executive Secretary said
seasonal surprises included the
abundance of deer in parts of the
most severe drought-ridden region
of the Hill Country and the come-
back of white-tailed deer in re-
stocked areas. . .
The Commission has received
many field reports describing the
deer bagged as being unusually
fat.
One of the restocked areas cover-
ed in first reports of the season’s
shoot was Freestone County in
East Texas. Six years ago this area
had no deer. Restocking was be-
gun five years ago. The first legal
shoot authorized this fall brought
“very satisfactory results” accord
ing to the Executive Secretary.
Similar reports were made from
half a dozen other areas which re-
ceived shipments of deer trapped
on the Aransas National Wildlife
Refuge.
The Executive Secretary said the
wild turkey harvest was “the best
in several years.” He said that the
shooting of gobblers was “good”
in the Hill Country where about
90 per cent of the wild turkey hunt-
ing was done.
Pfc. Simon Sanchez

WITH I CORPS IN KOREA—
Pfc. Simon Sanchez, whose wife,
Fannie, lives in Palacios, Texas, is
serving in Korea with the 159th
Field Artillery Battalion.
The 159th recently celebrated its

tillery battalion supporting I Corps.
During the past year, its big
howitzers fired 90,000 rounds and

emy casualties, including one pack
animal.
Private First Class Sanchez, a
truck driver in Battery C, arrived
in Korea last July. He entered the
Army in April 1951.
His mother, Isabel Suniga, lives
at 309 Hiawatha St, Corpus Chris-
ti, Texas, and his father, Salvador
Sanchez, lives in Pa'at;03, Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Merril and
son of Port Isabel spent Christmas
day here with her sisters and broth-
er and their families, Mr. and Mrs.
D. D. Carter and children, Mr. and
Mrs. Reagan Hamlin and children,
and Mr. and Mrs. Alton Queen.

Tex. Deer Hunters
Pay Heavy Fines
For Illegal Kills
The Director of Law Enforce-
ment for the Game and Fish Com-
mission said the monthly arrest re-
port included 42 cases for hunting
deer after hours.
The specific charges were hunt-
ing deer at night (35) and head-
lighting (7). Some of these ar-
rests also involved allied com-
plaints such as possessing doe or
fawn deer and trespassing.
An Austin man, in one such seiz.
ure, was fined $200 for shooting a
doe and $100 for hunting deer at
night plus court costs.
Two Odessa men got equally
stern treatment in court. One was
fined $125 for possessing doe meat
and $50 for hunting at night, all
plus court costs.
It was $400 and costs for a San
Antonio man under similar circum-
stances. The Court made it $200
each on charges of headlighting
and possessing doe meat.
Twenty-four Texans were finecl
for shooting illegal deer. Eighteen
were charged with possessing doe
meat, four were charged for bag-
ging spike buck and two were fined
for killing fawn deer.
Hunting from automobiles was
another major source of prosecu-
tion. Twenty-four such cases were
recorded in the monthly report.
There were 39 cases for trespass-
ing, 61 cases for hunting without a
license, 14 for killing ducks after
legal hours, and nine for shooting
with an unplugged shotgun.
Fines and court costs for the 379
cases totaled $11,581.44, compared
to $12,875.75 for 493 cases last
month and $10,056.20 for 332 cases
for November, 1951.
