Exploding quail population reason for 58-day season
By DICK HVALE
Kansan Sports Writer
Sportsmen will try to offset a mild population explosion of quail when the 58-day season begins in Kansas Nov.16.
The 1968 quail season, established by the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission, will match the 1966 season as longest in Kansas history.
The period for quail hunting has been extended because of a "moderate increase in the population levels over the major range in Kansas." Jim Norman, the small game project leader for the Commission, said.
The population of other game has not increased as much as quail. Norman said that the pheasant population has advanced past the 1967 levels in the central and northeast parts of the state but has slightly diminished in western Kansas.
Sportsmen should not think, the small game project leader said, that the aerial spraying of chemical pesticides on the sorghum crops in western Kansas has given rise to the sasmall pheasant population in that area. He investigated the effect of these pesticides on game birds such as pheasants.
"Present evidence indicates any losses which occurred due to the application of pesticides were scattered and light," the Kansas Game and Fish Commission said.
The pheasant population in western Kansas fell below last year's levels before the spraying
began, Norman pointed out to the Commission. A survey taken in July revealed declines of up to $49\%$ in localities mainly in the northwest part of the state.
Hunters should not be afraid to eat any birds taken from the treated fields since only negligible amounts of residue will remain in the sprayed areas by the opening day of the pheasant season, the Commission said.
Bill Peabody, the deer project leader for the Fish and Game Commission, said that deer are inhabiting all parts of the state. He suggested that archeery hunters look for deer along streams, rivers and draws.
Charles Henderson of the Commission said most public lands next to Federal Reservoirs have reported herds of deer.

Iba, who knows young talent if anybody does, thinks he has an exceptional group of ball-players even without Alcindor, Hayes, and Maravich. He believes his team may be just as good as the gold medal-winning 1964 basketball team,"If we can get this defense put together and control the boards."

'Athletes Anonymous' still tough
"There are no longer any easy victories in Olympic basketball," he adds. "There are a lot of tough teams—Russia, Brazil, Yugoslavia, and Puerto Rico especially—and we can no longer throw a net around all the individual stars and come home with a gold medal.

"We have to work on it, we have to turn all of these individual standouts into a team if we hope to win."
Such was not always the case. The best example is the U.S. Olympic basketball record, unbeaten in Olympic play. Iba, coaching the Olympic squad for the second time, wants to keep it that way, "but the longer our record stands, the tougher it is to hold it."
"We're loaded with shooters,"
Birthday for Rodgers
KU Coach Pepper Rodgers celebrated his 37th birthday yesterday but would rather reserve the hoop-la for Saturday.
"The best birthday present ever was last year's victory over Nebraska," said Rodgers after yesterday's practice. Smiling at the birthday cake he had just received from the team, Rodgers a dded:
"We'd better celebrate now. We may not have anything to celebrate this Saturday."
The Jayhawks went through a light workout in preparation for Nebraska. The clash between fourth-ranked KU and sixth-ranked Nebraska is the first Big Eight test for both clubs.
Scot wins Grand Prix
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (UPI)
—Scotland's Jackie Stewart still had his eye on his first world driver's championship Tuesday after easily capturing Sunday's Grand Prix of the United States at a record speed of 124.89 miles an hour.
The Flying Scot's smashing victory, his third of the season, put him back in the thick of the tense three way battle for the world's title which will be decided at the Mexican Grand Prix in four weeks.
Stewart's nine point $20,000 victory moved him up to second in the championship battle.

Iba says. "We're packed with scorers like Saulters." He named, in addition, Mike Barrett, who has averaged 36 points playing with U.S. Navy teams; Don Dee, who racked up a 25-point average at St. Mary's of the Plains in Kansas; Jo-Jo White, who hit regularly for 16 points at Kansas, and Bill Hosket of Ohio State and sophomore Charlie Scott of North Carolina, each of whom hit one out of every two shots last season.
Iba's concern, as it has been throughout his 34 years at OSU, is defense. For that, he looks to the rest of his squad for what he calls "the speed and the up."
"We've got to have the speed to stop the fast break, and the 'up' to control the backboards. We have got to control 75 per
cent of the rebounds if we want to win.
"This is a game of second shots, and you can't give up the second shot in basketball too often if you want to win."
