Browns, Bears Head Pro Grid Scrambles NEW YORK (API Th Nation al Football league heads Into tha second or chilly half of the pro grid season tomorrow with two familiar titans, the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears, again dominat ing the league.

Tha Browns, defending cham pions who ran away with all the honors In the All America comer ence before Its merger with the NFL, era setting the pace In the American conference, while, the so. called Monsters of the Midway are leading the way In the National conference. Both have 8 1 records at the season's halfway point. THE BROWNS (nterUln the refurbished Philadelphia Eagles In the lesgue's top clssh of the day, and It's now or never for the Two full behind the Brpwns with six gsmes to go, the Eagles need a win to keep alive their first place hopes. The Eagles were strengthened for the clssh this week by the addition of Nell Armstrong, a good pass catching end, ahaasjxflnntalrfl hi the NFL after Jumping back from Canadian football, and one time Army fullback Al Pollard.

Pollard was obtained from the New York Yanks on waivers. The Eagles have yet to beat Coach Paul Brown's club, having dropped two last year including a 35 10 walloping In the Browns' first game against NFL competition.

28 2, and they've now rolled up four strslgbt victories. Only the Browns, with five In a row after dropping their opener, have bettered thai string of successes. Steve Owens' defense minded OlanU, playing the week Washington entry, are the main threat to the Browns' peace of mind right now. The Olant will their threatening In person a week from tomorrow when they play a return engagement with the Browns, who gained a 14 12 victory In the clubs' first meeting. Much of tha loop fins' Interest In the Yanks 49ers game centers on the question of who will be the Yank quarterback; Cinderella Bob Celerl or Jumping Oeorge Ratter man, who, like Armstrong, was re Instated to the NFL fold this week after a Canadian excursion? Rat terman was the passing star of the Yanks lasvyear, but Celerl baa performed In sensational fashion since winning the Job from tha now departeddeparted Johnny Rauch In the Yanks 24 21 loss to the Bears Oct.

The Packers Bteelers gsme, like the Yanks 49ers, won't affect the top of the league standings, but It will provide the first test for the Steelers' since Coach Johnny Mlcheloaen received avota of confidence from Steeler president Art Rooney.

Hunting license sales in a majority of the states have shown gradual Increases since the close of World War II. With this over supply of hunter, the game commissions are hard pressed to keep the stocking in proportion to the gun pressure exerted on public hunting lands. License rates have cumoea to nn anc thla program and, with each season, the average hunter finds himself a bit harder hit financially.

Ammunition rates are high now and going higher, and the makers of guns and clothing, normally noted for reasonable prices, have had to raise their rates In proportion. With this increased competition. not to mention the Increased finan cial outlay, the once ln a whlle hun ter naturally is up against a tougni proposition to realize any return on his Investment of time and money other than a few pleasant walk In the out ol doora. a a IN OTHIR WORDS, there Is a higher premium placed on hunting know how these days then (here used to be with a diminishing general tendency to trust to luck. Comparatively few of the hunters In the United States are blessed with the services of a capable bird or rabbit dog.

They locate their bag each season by the questionable method of walking up their game. To do this successfully is not as easy as some msy think. To walk up game successfully requires a reasonably thorough knowledge of cover and feeding habits. Going Into strange territory, the hunter must be able to read land contour to locate his game. After the first day, all game tends to migrate to safer ground.

The birds will head for heavy bottoms and the bunnies are found In the tangled maze of the nearest briar patch. Perhaps the most unfair game bird to huntrat leastrrronrthe hunter's viewpoint. Is the rlngneck pheasant. Before the season opens, these birds can be seen pecking and strutting in my oaca yara, duc lei one gun go off In the vicinity and they van ish. From then on, throughout the remainder of the season, a man must understand rlngneck and know their habits If he wishes to bunt them suc cessfully.

It It at all possible, a rlngneck will run rather than expose himself by flying. He can run like a racehorse ahead of a hunting party and refuse to flush. But he can be fooled. South Dakato hunters have developed a system of "pocketing" birds on a drive. After selecting the field they Intend to bunt, they send out headers tn the opposite end.

These guns tend to turn the birds back Into the drive which. In turn, flushes them In effective range of a maximum number of hunters. Then Increase the efficiency of the drive, the line of drive Is sometimes set up on a 48 degree angle. This slanted line feeds the birds into a comer of the field. The headers push back any running birds and they work their way down the Una Into th comer which la the most escape proof side of the field.

When the drive and tha headers converge, the birds, must flush within range of all the tuns, remap me mail under estimated target tn the country I th cotton tail rabbit. To be sure, he can be found readily in the earlier days of the season. Towards the last weeks. however, the bunny crop seems to have dwindled to a minimum. Don't you oeuevs it.

After he hs been hunted and. pernaps, anoi as a lew times, a cottontail grows to be a deceptive aa a pheasant. He will creep belly down around a drlv and never Jump. He will sit so close, you'sometlmes hav to nudge him out with your, foot. Walking up rabbits during the latter part of the season often takes a little doing.

After gam hu been pushed Into heavy cover. Its forays away from It are for feeding only. Set up your drives so that th gun an between the game and the protective cover. Hunt the edges of swale and bottoms. Comb the pockets In ttie middle of open fields.

Above all. dont hunt where you would normally find rabbits. They wont be there. LAND CONTOUR HAS a treat effect on game location. Both birds and rabbits will migrate DOWNHILL after they have been hunted.

Therefore, look for your hunting In the bottoms after the first, few dsys. The ruffled grouse Is a bird which learns very quickly how to survive In heavily hunted territory. For his resting cover he will usually choose the hemlock groves or the high security of the big woods. Hunting him In these places Is not very productive. It must be remembered however, that he cannot find much food in the resting cover.

Thus, when he la hungry, he must move Into the feeding cover the swales and clearings. When disturbed he will take off in the direction of the area that affords him the greatest protection. Knowing this. It Is obviously th best method to hunt between th feeding birds and their resting cover. In that way the flushing birds must fly past the gunners, often affording a shot.

Bobwhlte quail In heavily hunted terrain develop a surprising degree of caution.
