Show "The shooters and fishers receive re-ceive a large share of the benefits bene-fits and pleasures from the protection pro-tection of the fish and game, and -- to use an old saw as they do most of the dancing, they should help to pay the fiddler." fid-dler." So started the philosophy that sportsmen should pay their own way. Through sportsmen's license fee and modern fish and game management techniques, the fish and game resources of the State have been perpetuated and enhanced. Those who talk about the "good old days" should read Commissioner Sharp's gloomy report of 1900. He states, "Some of the most valuable varieties of the large game animals that were once abundant in the State, like the elk, antelope, and mountain sheep have become almost like a dream or memory of the past, they are now so seldom seen, and the "mule deer" that could be seen at one time all over the Territory of Utah like "cattle upon a thousand hills" in unlimited un-limited numbers, are fast going the way of the other three species spe-cies . . ." Commissioner Sharp's recom-dation recom-dation for a fishing and hunting hunt-ing license was finally accepted in 1907. Since that time, sportsmen's sports-men's license fees have furnished furnish-ed most of the funds for wildlife wild-life conservation in Utah. Utah sportsmen should take pride in the fact that they pay their own way, and that elk, antelope, mountain sheep, and deer have not become a "memory "mem-ory of the past." TIGERS UPSET BY KANAB, 6748 Sharp passing and a couple of guys who could hit from outside out-side were the difference in the 67-48 upset by Kanab over the Tigers last week. Coach Payne is still having trouble locating play-makers that can also hit from outside enough to keep the defense honest. But it looks like he misht finally be set under the board with Smith, Barnes and White. White looked impressive impres-sive against Kanab with 10 points for second high and his share of the rebounds. Smith and Barnes both have a good eye under the basket and around the slot, and will turn in a creditable performance perfor-mance anytime they get the ball to them. Smith turned in 17 points and Barnes 9. Swayp, the playmaker for Kanab turned in 19 points for Kanab with some excellent outside out-side shooting and brilliant plays that helped Glover come up with 21 points for game high. The Milford JV won again with a 49-34 score to give them a 6-1 season record.

Resident combination licenses licen-ses $1.00, nonresident licenses $25.00! The year was 1900 and the establishment of such licenses licen-ses was recommended by State Fish and Game Commissioner, John Sharp, in the third biennial bien-nial report to the governer and legislature. Commissioner Sharp justified justi-fied his proposal by stating, |
