He explained that the animals were somewhat over-stocked at Zion, and, 'like rabbits, are destroying de-stroying foliage, -park vegetation, orchards and farms on adjacent lands . Not only dp the deer kin orchard crops to quite an extent but they also commit a form of suicide by injuring; themselves against the branches, Meat from the big; game would be shipped to two army camps where Utah boys are stationed providing, of course, that the meat Is in good condition and is edible this time, of the year. "It's not," he said, "that the army needs the meat, but as long as the range at Zion must be depopulated de-populated to some extent, the boys from Utah might as well have a treat of a venison dinner." Camps to which the Utah soldiers sol-diers are stationed is a military secret. Anderson emphasized . that .. the army in no way heeds the food but that it would serve as a pres ent from the State of Utah.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (HE) Bobby Riggs .and Frank Kovacs hit the road on their first pro fessional Junket today, two tri umphs up on the game a old guard. and a slippery spot of canvas which sent World Champion Fred Perry to the hospital with a sprained elbow was given credit for an assist. . . Stretching out for a low shot last night, while trailing Riggs, 5-4, in the third and deciding set after Kovacs had neatly upset Don Budge, Perry slid several feet, failed to .regain his balance and, fell heavily, on his right arm. X-rays taken at Polyclinic hospital hos-pital disclosed he had suffered a "severe contusion ef the radial nerve." He was expected to be back on the court in two days. That one mishap marred what probably was the. most, successful professional venture launched In Madison Square Garden In years. Although Perry win be replaced by a substitute when the troupe appears in .Trenton, N. J., all other plans were carried through with extreme satisfaction, to all concerned. The tennis Itself was excellent and the gate exceeded the most rosy predictions.
