New Jersey Hunter Takes A Rare Piebald Whitetail Deer

Bob Sanders took a 10 point piebald/whitetail buck on November 8 with a bow in the area of Somerville/Brancburg Twp., NJ. The buck field dressed between 170-180 pounds.

This is not an albino deer; no pink feet,pink eyes or pink nose.

Piebald deer, or partially white deer, are from a recessive genetic trait and the deer usually become more prevalent due to overpopulation in a deer herd, according to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, U.S. Geological Survey — Biological Resources, Department of the Interior.

The white coloration makes these animals more visible, so they’re subject to higher-than-normal predation rates while young. Rarely do piebald deer survive more than a couple of years in the wild. (http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov)

1964:City Football Series/Manlove\’s Lions Tamed by Arch-Rivals

Note: A series of articles about the history of the Gloucester Catholic vs. Gloucester High football games was published in a booklet released in 1993 entitled \”The Renewal of Friendship\”. This great history of the series was put together my members of the Gloucester High Alumni Association.

Unfortunately I don’t have the entire book. But over the next couple of weeks leading up to this year’s game on Thanksgiving Day I will post the articles and photo pages that are in my possession. Drawing on front cover of booklet by Todd Whitten

Manlove\’s Lions Tamed By Arch-Rivals, 14-12

Bill Manlove\’s Gloucester High School football squad found their unbeaten string cut on Saturday morning as a city rival, Gloucester Catholic team posted a 14-12 decision. The Rams scored all of their points in the final quarter of play to astound the 4000 fans that were on hand to witness the battle.

This game could hamper the Lions chances of gaining the Group II title as they are now deadlocked with Merchantville High. The Merchants captured a 27-19 victory over St. Joe on Saturday to post a 6-1 record. The Lions have scored 122 tallies while the Merchants have now posted 158. Gloucester proves to have the better defensive team as they have had only 43 counters posted against them. The Merchantville team has yielded 62.

Gloucester Catholic has a fine season\’ s log this year with a 5-1 -1 mark. The Rams have scored only 74 points in rolling to this total giving good evidence as to their exceptional defense.

Gloucester High continued to post good drives for scores as they marched 64 yards in the second period of play. This effort gave Coach Bill Manlove\’s lads the advantage at intermission. Steve Nunes climaxed this drive as the Lions had covered the distance in eleven plays. The extra point was missed, but few fans realized the importance it would play in the final quarter of action.

George Anastasia, the work-horse of the Ram\’s single wing attack, provided the Maroon and Gold\’s first score as he fired a perfect shot to tailback, George Mottram. The aerial covered 31 yards. Anastasia bolted over for the extra point and the score was 7-6. Mottram was a key in the second Ram score as he intercepted a Jack Brandt pass to halt a Lion drive.

Gloucester Catholic was quick to take advantage of this situation as they drove 50 yards for their winning score. Anastasia once again drove over for the extra point and the Rams posted a 14-12 win.

Letters: Enjoys Reading CNB

Hello Mr Cleary,

I just wanted to recognize your forum and the good that it does.

My friend, Tom Tedesco, was seriously injured in an accident during the summer. Your forum provided the means for his friends and relatives from near and far away to express their love and prayers for his recovery. I know these messages were read to Tom on a daily basis even while he was in a coma and not responding. I truly believe that Tom hearing these messages was an important part of his recovery. Thank you, keep up the good work.

Sincerely

Bob Hasty, Bristol Pa
