Lincoln, MebrasSca Phone 21045 ooor farmer-sportsman relation ships? If you are like the ma jority of us, you use a handy slogan such as, "The Omaha and Lincoln hunters," "to describe these rogue hunters. Everyone has heard landowners complain about the cars with license plates from Douglas and Lancaster counties. A close look at the 1954 arrest records of the Nebraska Game Commission's Law Enforcement Division doesn't support this opinion. If there was reason to justify the attitude that Omaha and Lincoln hunters are being exceptionally . irresponsible in the field, surely the situation would be reflected in the game law violations brought to court by Nebraska Conservation Officers. Only 11 of the 477 total ar rests for 1954 game law viola tions were Omaha hunters. With :r 25 of the total popula tion of Nebraskans living in that area; it looks like the Omaha sportsmen have cut their fair share of violations in half. The Lincoln area sportsmen, accu mulating 5 of the totul viola tions; are also under their quota of violations by at least half. Another surprising- fact em phasizes the folly of condeming these particular hunters for poor farmer-sportsman relationships throughout the state. Over 70 of the Omaha hunters prosecut ed for game law violations, were prosecuted in theirown county or one of the adjoining counties. The Omaha area violators ap parently just don't get into strange territory to commit their crimes. Why should they travel very far out into the state to take game illegally? If they are going to intentionally violate the law, they don't have to travel 75 or 150 miles to do it. Of course, we see more Omaha or Lincoln hunters out in the field. Making the assumption that they are responsible for many acts of outdoor vandalism is quite natural. But, from all the available evidence, it is just not so. If all the local hunters throughout the state would conduct themselves as the majority of the Omaha-Lincoln group, the viola tions could be cut in half. The largest single group of game law violators were non resident hunters and fishers. They accounted for 17 of the total violations prosecuted in 1954. Your Nebraska Conservation Officers successfully prosecuted 98 of the 477 game law cases brought to court in 1954. More than $8,300 dollars in fines were collected by the courts on these cases. This fine money, which is turned over to the school fund, was 39 higher than in 1953. Liquidated damages, damages given to the Commission in lieu of damages sustained by the loss of game, amounted to a total of $8,200. This is a 72 increase over the same figures for last year. Confiscated equipment used in illegal taking of game in 1954 included 77 guns. The guns wyill be disposed of at a public auc tion, April 16, at the 4-H Build ing at the State Fairgrounds in Lincoln. An additional 37 guns confiscated by state law in 1955 will also be auctioned off to the highest bidders. Information on the annual gun auction may be received by writing the Nebras ka Game Commission, State house, Lincoln, Nebraska. Fishing without a permit leads the list of violations. Shooting game birds out-of-season was second and having a loaded shotgun in a vehicle was third. Bill Cunningham, Supervisor of Law Enforcement Division, pointed out that, "Arrests were down, compared to previous years, on violations during the legal seasons, but, there was an increase in the number of viola tions after the close of the legal seasons. Me had an over-all 8 increase in violations in 1954." The greatest percentage of hunting violations is winter road shooting. He stated, "Ob viously, most of these types of kills are on hen birds roosting along the road. During the win ter, pheasants group together in flocks of either hens or roosters. The groups , of roosters are flighty and will run or flush when a car gets near them. The hens just sit by and make a per fect target for the game thief." Cunningham has 28 Conser vation Officers under his super vision in all parts of the state. During 1954 the wardens drove 998,098 miles while on patrol duty. . "Violations are distributed over, the state according to the population density and the av erage resident violator is appre hended in his own community cr county," Cunningham concluded. 18 for Holy Name.

But Holy Name played a balanced and deliberated could bucket only 9 points. The game to stay even and hold a 16-16 tie at ' the quarter. And in the second period the Ramb lers made a big bid and went ahead 32 to 24 and then" were never headed. Falls City had faded badly in the second period and could never come back but they stayed within range until the fourth period when they got enough shots but Kjeldsen and his team mates couldn't hil them. Kjeldsen, who was being wag ged as the player of the tourna ment, cracked in 31 points to lead Falls City.
