Weather was lousy for ducks Saturday and Sunday-beautiful for
wives who wanted to go for a Sunday drive. I had a guest up from
the cities this last weekend for some duck hunting. Wolf Weber,
my neighbor, Bob Grivette and yours truly, started the daq
(Saturday) at the mouth of Burntside River on Shagawa, nothing!
Next up the Echo Trail where we tried a few potholes, again
nothing! In theearly P.M. we headed for Basswood, As we hit the
Basswood side of Four Mile, a disgusted pair of duck hunters were
heading home from Wind Bay- all they had were four Mallards for
six hours effort. We went to Frog Bay, had pick a Black and some
Mercies in about 45 minutes, then nothing, We were back in Ely at
5 p.m. and didn't bother going out Sunday. I hope for some duck
weather next weekend or it's best to stay home.
Pete Serson and Milt Laine didn't do any better towards Two
Harbors Saturday but got a few Sunday on the Stony River. Ed
Marsolek hasn't been heard from yet, but he's great on a duck call
and I hope he does better than we did.
Dear Deerhunters,
Meat on the table for all those who venture forth in conquest or
the Minnesota stag. Don't we all wish it was true, Deer season
starts November 1 thru the 30th. The breakdown is as follows :
Zone I - (Ely) All legal firearms.
Zone If- Bucks only-all legal firearms.
Zone Ill - Shotgun only-single slug
Zone lV - All legal firearms
Zone V - Shotgun only-single slug ....
All legal firearms is self explanatory. Single slug means no
double-odd buck or buckshot in the shotshelt. For us in Zone I the
days are as follows.
Nov. 1-4 - any 2 consecutive days.
Nov. 5-15- any 3 consecutive days.
Nov. 15-30 any 5 consecutive days.
Now!!! Fellas you can not hunt the 4th, 5th and 6th legally. If
you want to hunt Sunday the 4th, you can only hunt the 5th, even
though it is into the 3 clay category. }temember it. 48 hours after
the kill - tile deer has to be registered at one of the 2 registration
stations in town - Union 76 or Jerry's Westside Standard. This
information is-for all those blowhards I know darn well will claim
ignorance when Bob Hedge, Bob Jacobsen, or Frank Baltich taps

excuse for not knowing the law. After I've told you about the
handcuffs, good hunting and safe shooting. And please go well
equipped and know where you're hunting - I don't want to have to
join any search parties. Another thing, your kill has to be
registered in the zone it was shot in.

COOK--Coach R@ Hokkanen broadly smiled.
His victorious warriors had wrapped up the St. Louis County
Conference football title.
The "Wild Bunch" had put on a show which the hometown
partisans loved. Cook had a festive atmosphere. Students were
happy. Proud parents re-played the game.
The small community, 26 miles north of Virginia, was getting
publicity all right. Newspapers in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth,
Virginia and Ely were following the progress of the Cook Little
Gophers on the football field.
It all happened last week, as the Little Gophers marched past
their last stumbling block on the road to the county gridiron
crown-the tenacious, fighting Tigers of Cherry.
Last Wednesday afternoon, after the final gun had sounded, the
rugged Little Gophers had subdued Cherry, 34-14.
Now it was time to wait for an invitation from the Minnesota
State High School League for post-season play in the second annual
state prep nine-man football playdowns.
Cook is idle this weekend, and Cherry has ended its season.
Virginia sports writer Lee Bloomquist was impressed by the
, Little Gophers. "Cherry was snowed under last Wednesday," he
wrote, "Both literally and figuratively as Cook's Little Gophers
knocked the Tigers from the unbeaten ranks with a convincing
34-14 victory."
Cook won the St. Louis County Conference crown with a 6-0
record, and recorded a 7-0 perfect regular season mark. Cherry
finished in second place in the conference with a 5-1 mark. Cherry
was 6-1 overall.
Cook quarterback Darrell Brodeen scored four times for the
winners against Cherry on touchdowns runs of two, three, 26 and 52
yards--all on end sweeps. Brodeen's running handed the Tigers
their first loss of the season in the regular season finale for both
clubs.
"In winning the game," Bloomquist noted, "Cook displayed a
ball-control offense that held the ball much of the game on long
drives from one end of the gridiron to the other."
The 34-)4 Cook victory by the Hokka-men was achieved not only
through the Little Gophers' potent offense, but also because Cook's
famed Wild Bunch was once again on the prowl, outhitting a
hard-hitting Cherry eleven.
