Ring-Necked
Pheasant

There was a time, many years
ago, when Ring-Necked Pheasants
were found only in China. From
there they spread to Europe, A
merica, and other parts of the
world. Wherever they live today,
the colorful birds are eagerly
sought each season by hunters.
To keep the supply plentiful in
our country, state game depart
ments raise and free large num-
bers of Pheasants every year,
Though Matched and held in cap
tivity part of their lives, the birds
are wild when turned loose. They
show no signs of having lived in
pens.
When on their own, Pheasants
dominate the territory in which
they roam. With a fighting spirit,
they crowd out other birds. The
male Pheasant is the battler of

bluiSh-black.
By comparison the female Phea-
SAINT is dull and plain - mixture
of brown and chestnut, speckled
with black. While this makes her
less attractive, the National Wild
life Federation points out that she
can hide in the grass more easily
than her mate.
This is especially important in
the spring, when she is sitting on
her nest. It is built on the ground,
among some weeds, and contains
from six to twelve large, olive
buff eggs. After she keeps them
warm for % days, they hatch.
The female takes care of the
young until fall. Then they lose
their first feathers and begin to
resemble their parents. When fully
grown, the males are from 80 to
SO inches long and the females
are about 20 inches in length.
They weigh up to AZ pounds.
Both birds have long slender tails,
and the male wears strnno spurs
on his legs.
AS the weather turns cold, Ring
Necked Pheasants do not journey
southwark, but stay right where
they are. Most of them live the
year round in the northeastern
fourth of the United States-from
Maine to the DakotaS and south
to Kansas and Pennsylvania.
Their favorite haunts, in this
region, are the farmlnads where
corn and other grains grow. About
two-thirds of their food consists
of grain and plant life. To round
out their meals, they eat great
quantities of insects.
Despite their appetites for grain,
PheasantS are not a serious men
ace to farmers. According to the
National Wildlife Federation,
hunters keep the number of birds
down within limits which are con-
trolled by game and conservatio
authorities.

The Championship clash this
week brings together two quintets
that feature the same style of play,
a fast break as well as deadly
shooting from the outside. Rocco's
fast breaking had a telling effect
in eliminating Delaware Steel in
overtime 85-79 while the Minute
men broke fast in the opening
quarter to pile up a lead that held
to the finish as they tripped Har-
rington Legionnaires 67-61.
Both of the finalists have caught
the fancy of the large turn-outs
that are witnessing the Tourna-
ment nightly and this Saturday
night they are looking for one of
the hardest fought games of the
event. Rocco's have three cagers,
Leo Marshall, Earl Burns and Gene
Schaen, that can hit consistently in
double brackets with Tom Yetter

are not to be overshadowed in this
department with such cagers in
their array as Jack Spicer, Spike
