But Coach Aubrey Roberts decided that Doug's usefulness to the

63 Deer Kill In County
Estimated Aboutl,700
(By Bob Rhudy, Game Warden)
Deer season closed on December
31 with what I will say was a good
season. I think we had a record
kill in Bosque County this year,
which was due to the increase in
the number of hunters who hunted
in the county this season. Just from
my observation I believe we had at
least one-third more hunters this
year than last, and from checking
hunters and locker plants with
deer I think we had one-third more
deer killed.
i have placed the deer kill
around 1,700 in Bosque County,
January 14. Quail season is open
through January 31, 1964, in both
Hamilton and Bosque Counties. I
would like to encourage both land-
owner and sportsman to taka Mr
many quail as possible, since I be-
lieve we will lose many in the bed
weather to come. By saying this,
I do not mean for you to break ths
law in doing so.
We did get through another deer

be as careful the remainder of the
hunting season and wind up with

Actually, the game turned into serious business, with more hard

merited.
Meridian won the game 17 to 0. Its high school coach, Jim Baldwin,
was outstanding with a 39-yard field goal and two touchdown passes to
Dolexel, a speedy end.

a broken bone and torn ligaments in hia knee.
