Kindig Is Chosen “Back of
Week” – Butch Kindig of Graceville was recently chosen as “Back of the Week” by
the Pensacola News Journal. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Kindig of
Graceville and his father is a native of Evergreen.
Here is what the Pensacola
newspaper had to say about young Kindig: “Kindig was picked for his work in
leading the Graceville Tigers to a 19-6 triumph over Donalsonville, Ga.
“Though slight of build
(5-10, 145 pounds), Kindig’s influence on the game was anything but slight.
“He ran the ball 15 times
from scrimmage for 102 yards, scored one touchdown from four yards out after
setting up with a 40-yard run and set up another on a 51-yard punt return.
“In nominating Kindig,
Graceville Coach Homer Underwood wrote, ‘He sparked both touchdown drives in
the last quarter after Donalsonville had tied the score, 6-6, in the third
period.’
“Kindig contributed to the
victory defensively, too, intercepting two passes. He returned one of them 26
yards.”

GAME COMING BACK: Several species of wildlife that were on the downgrade in Alabama a few years ago are coming back satisfactorily, according to records of the Conservation Department. Outstanding are the wild turkey and white-tail deer, both of which are now more numerous than 25 years ago. Wild turkeys appear in 66 out of the 67 counties; in more than 20 counties the deer population is heavy. A deer survey in 1934 indicated this fine animal was in 42 counties. The beaver, on the decrease up until a few years ago, is now found in 23 counties, with some of the counties having one to a dozen colonies. A survey of Bob White quail, now being conducted, shows encouraging results. Out of 34 counties reporting, quail have been observed in 31 counties; and in 156 coveys seen in a 10-day period, the average covey had 14 birds. A preliminary survey of Alabama’s wild ducks also indicates an increase this year, both as to migratory flocks stopping off, and the nesting flocks.
