10 fi-Oriental Pheasants With the pheasant season -now upon us it seems an ap- propriate time to describe some of the habits and char- ’ncteristics of this beautiful game bird. The ring-necked ;pheasant is now considered as one of the most important and popular game birds in .bntario. Although it thrives 'v'in only a relatively small part of the province it does exist by means of regular "plantings in other parts of .-Ontario. Pheasants had al- lready been introduced into "I Ontario as far back as 1892. l BAYVIEW SECONDARY l fThe senior football team all Bayview Secondary ran into a‘ roadblock Monday in its hoped- for march to the title. The roadblock was erected by Thornhill Secondary which won all the marbles lasti season â€" who downed Bayviewl 20-13. It was Bayview's initial loss of the season and resulted in a death playoff game for division honors against Richmond Hill High School. Winner will ad- v'ance to meet powerful New- market. 'Thornhill led all the way in this one witlh the scores reading 847 at the end of the first quar- tér and 13â€"8 at halftime. lBob Suzuki scored Bayview's first touchdown on an offtackle smash converted by Doug Nichols; . Then came another line smash Jim Fleming. This one wasn’t converted. "The final quarter spelled doom as Thornhill came back to wrap it up with a two touch- down outburst. ‘ - "We just weren't in the mood.” philosophised coach Russ Snyder. * * * * THORNHILL SECONDARY The Thornhill Intermediate football team ended a losing season on a winning note last Monday with an 8-6 triumph dyer Bayview. t Jerry McKenzie put Thorn- hill on the score sheets when lit; picked off a bouncing punt on the dead run and ran 90 yards for the touchdown which was converted to end the half alt 7-0 for Thornhill. Following a scoreless third quarter Thornhiu picked up a I-ingle point off a long punt by Terry Moore. Bayview got moving in the fourth quarter with the aid of 25 yards in penalties against Thornhill. A 15 yard end sweep Many private introductions followed and Point Pelee was the first locality where the birds became established. Later they began to “catch” in the Niagara Peninsula. In 1919 the Province of Ontario commenced a definite pro- gramme to introduce phcas- ants and eggs were imported at that time. Distributions of live birds were started in 1927.

Thursday, Oct. 2'5, 1955 Become Canadians I Maple. there are some 42 species of ring~necked pheasâ€" ants in Asia and Asia Minor, Our pheasant is a mixture of Chinese, Korean and Manchurian ringnecks with a dash of Japanese green pheasant and the Caucasian blackneck. It is a farm- country bird, not a wilder- ness bird. and it is seldom found far from farmers' fields. The pheasant is a stealthy character that would rather run than fly, especially in good cover. Its sense of hear- ing is very acuic. During. World War I pheasants were disturbed by explosions as far as 216 miles away. It was reported that the birds could detect some cannon fire at 320 miles. I llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllI!lllllIlllllilllLllllllllllllllllllllllllllIl BY A. W. LEMAN DISTRICT FORESTER MAPLE ‘, lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Flying is probably not easy for pheasants. for they have a low ratio of wing area to body weight. However, the bird flies swiftly on its blunt. stubby wings. and spurred by gun fire. they may fly up to a mile or more and have been known to fly nearly 100 yards above the ground for 21.5 miles. Normal flight, however. is only a few hund- red yards. EASTSIDERS With fewer high scores last week only two teams, the Pirates and the Giants. managed to take seven points.

When freed they , flew away and escaped. Apparently ringnccks cn- joy robust health. In the United States biologists maintain of all their game birds and mammals. the. pheasant is probably the species most free from dis- ease and parasites. There appears to be no disease that ‘ seriously limits pheasants bred in the wild. Mr. Wain- io noted that in a three-year study of pheasants in a Michigan area. no evidence of disease was found in trapped birds.

Those Laws of Averages On past performances the Indians should come through to win the Lord Selkirk Trophy but there's a well-known phrase called “the law of averages" which has a. nasty habit of upsetting well laid plans of athletes. This. apparently doesn't trouble Madeley who shrugs his shoulders and says stoutly, “It’s a" brand new season. What’s past is behind us and I don’t think there'll be that much pressure on us.” The Indians, who whomped East York 14-7 and during the regular season, will operate out of a. twm fullback and single fullback formation in the playoffs as they did during the season. * * III it uh McIntosh Is Key Key to the offensive hopes is Quarterback Ian McIntosh in first year as full time mastermind. He has shown steady improvement over the season and h1t_h1s peak with a three touchdown performance against the East Enders. Add to this the driving power of Fullbacks Eli Shook and Vince Cascomb and the pass-catching Wizardry of Bob Sheridan at flanker and you’ve got some voltage going for you. And speaking of Eli, he led the Indians (and posmbly the league) in points this season with a total of 60 off 10 touchdowns. “Eli has always been a p0wer runner," observed Madeley. “but now he’s learned to cut and that has made him much more effective.” Levi has been With the team for the past; five years and switched to offense a. couple of seasons agoâ€"and phfft.
