Spring Chinook Migrations
Retain Unprecedented Rate
Spring Chinook salmon maintain-1
pu men uupieteiiueniea iaie sum
mer migration through the first
two weeks of September, v accord
ing to the twice-monthly report
from the Game Commission count
ing station at Winchester dam.
During the two weeks period, 122
adult fish were tallied, bringing
the season count to 6,041. Of this
total of more than 6.000 fish, about
12 per cent represent the return
from hatchery plantings, according
to checks maintained by W. E. Pit
ney, field biologist in charge of
Umpqua River studies.
The remainder represent the re
turn from naturally spawned fish
originating with a parent run of
1.98.1 fish in 1950, second lowest
since studies were started in 1946.
The gain in naturally spawned fish,
based on migration to date, is ex
pected to exceed 166 per cent.
This season's migration started
slowly but gained heavily during
July and August and for the last
two weeks of August and the first
two weeks of September has sur
passed . all previous records.
Counters report that many bright
fish were seen during August. The
heavy run during the first part of
September, however, consisted al
most entirely of dark fish, indicat
ing that the salmon had been in
the lower j art of the river for con
siderable time awaiting cooler wa
ter before proceeding upstream to
spawning beds.
Summer steclhead ilso showed
much activity during the first part
of the month, with 318 adult fish
counted to bring the total to 2,972.
A heavier movement is expected
in the latter half of the month as a
result of rains which have fresh
ened and cooled the river water.
Salmon trout migration has been
heavier than average.
Comparative figures are report
ed as follows:

Two pairs of Pacific Coast Con-j
ference football teams began point
ing Tuesday toward games with
each other this weekend, and the
other squads looked to battles out-'
side the conference.
Southern California will meet;
Oregon in a night game Friday!
at Los Angeles, ana Oregon Mate I
will play Stanford at Portland I
Saturday night. I
Loach Jess Hut put his southern
California Troians through their
last rough scrimmage. Quarter-:
bacK Jim contratto was calling
the signals in place of Elis Kis
singer. Ernie Zampese, alternating
with Jon Arnett at tailback, con
nected with his passes, and Ar
nett and sophomore C. R. Roberts
broke for long runs.
Ducks Study Defense
Coach Len Casanova had Oregon
working on defense plans against
Arnett. lasanova said deiense
against USC was difficult, with the
Trojans varying from a single
wing into a straight T or a split
T. Hoping to avoid injuries, Casa
nova ran a short otlense drill
against dummies.
At Oregon State, sophomore Bob
DeGrant of Rurlinganie, Calif., won
a starling, assignment at right end
against Stanford. Tailback Joe
Francis, who sprained his ankle
Saturday in OSC's 33-0 victory over
Brigham Young, was still out.
Coach Tommy Prothro said it
National League Home Run
Records Broken In Barrage
NEW YORK im The homer
happy National League, with a one
season record already packed
away, now has opened a barrage
on individual major league home
run marks.
Robin Roberts, Philadelphia's 23
game winner, fell victim to the
homer hammering last night at
Brooklyn, giving up his 39th and
40th of the season a record total
of home runs off a pitcher. Team
mate Hurry Dickson held the old
mark of 39, set in 1948 with St.
Louis.
Willie Mays of New York poked
into the picture, too, swatting two
in doublcheader wilh Pittsburgh
for a record-equaling total of seven
in six consecutive games. Two oth
er Giants, George Kelly (1924) and
Walker Cooper (1947) already shar
ed the mark.
Banks Sots Record
And Monday night. Ernie Banks,
Chicago's slugging shortstop, set a
record with his fifth grand-slam
of the year. Ten players shared
the old mark of four. Banks, with
44, set a major league record for
shortstops when he walloped his
40th.
Frank Kellert and George Shuba
tagged Roberts for the tying and
record-setting homers in the sec
ond game of a two-night sweep by
the Brooklyn Dodgers. The two
shots gave the National League
champs 201 for the season. Only
two clubs, the Giants, whfl set
the team mark with 221 in 1947
and the Dodgers with 208 in 53
ever have hit 200 or) more in the
majors.
Nnwk Allows 35th
In the first game. Don New-
combe gave up his 35th homer of
the season, a record for a Brooklyn
pitcher.
Mays, who tops the majors in
homers this year, now has 50. Only
six others Bahe Ruth, Jimmy
Foxx, flank Greenberg, Hack Wil
son, Halph Kiner and Johnny Mize
ever have hit so many.
In all, there were 13 homers in
the National yesterday boosting
the record to 1232. The old major
league mark was 1,197, set by the
NL in 1953.
The American League one-season
record of 973, set in 1950, seems
safe. The eight junior circuit clubs
have hit only 944 to date.

Stanford had injury problems
too, but all of the news wasn't

ed to be out with a knee injury

mour and John Kidd and rieht half
back Gordy Young will be out of

Coach Al Kircher put his Wash
ington State squad through an of
fensive drill, stressing passing. Six
of Washington State's passes were
intercepted by USC last Saturday.
With only three players on the in
jury list, the team will travel to
the Midwest to play Kansas Satur
day. Husky Lineup Sam
Washington Coach John Cherberg
said he would probably start the
same lineup against Minnesota at
Minneapolis Saturday that he
used against Idaho. He expects to
have quarterback Sandy Leder
man spell Steve Roake frequent
ly. The Idaho squad looked at mov
ies of jts 14-7 defeat by Wash
ington. The team concentrated on
offense in the afternoon drill as it
prepared to meet Utah at Boise.
Red should he the predominat
ing color Friday, according to local
Red Hat Day Chairman Cecil
Hugh.
It is exnected that many per
sons of the community will wear
their red hat or Red Hat Day
badges to signify their interest in
good sportsmenship and conduct
during the coming hunting season ;
in Oregon. Another local action 1
chairman is R. B. Harry man o
the Winslon-Dillard-Camas Valley j
area, who states Red Hal Day will
be well oberved in his area. i
Many pledge cards have already
been signed during the past week
by local citizens, and chairmen
Hue it and Harryman state they are
confident of a successful day here.
Douglas County Chairman G.
Lloyd Hayes states that sports
mens clubs over other states are

Tribe Collapse Ends Quest Of 2 For MVP
keeping close walch of Oregon Red
Hat Day, with the idea in mind
of making this a national affair.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth explained
the Ued Hat Day program in Ore
gon to members of the House of
Representatives before the close
of the 84th Congress, and found ;
much interest apparent from other j
states.
Ellsworth said that the problem )
of firearms accidents, property ,
damage and other depredation by f
a few o( the thousands of hunters j
and fishermen is not limited to
Oregon, and that he is gratified lo
see Oregon taking the lead in a i
program to correct this situation.
CHICAGO I Cleveland's as-,
tonishingly quick collapse in the
final 10 days of the season not only I
put the American League pennant i
practically beyond reach, but just
about wrecked the chances of Al:
Smith and Ray Narleski for the!
Most Valuable Player award. j
Unfortunately for them as well!
as the Indians, Smith and Narleski!
picked the time when the clubi
sink to its lowest ebb to exhibit
their poorest performances.
In the considered opinion of those
who have followed the fortunes of
the Indians all year, the tre
mendous all-around play of the
versatile Smith and the brilliant
relief pitching of Narleski were
the major contributions to Cleve
lands' near - successful defense of
their American League title.
Consequently it came as a rude
shock to manager Al Lopez, along
with Cleveland's disappointed fans,
when Narleski failed in two suc
cessive rescue jobs in key games
and when Smith went hitless in
12 consecutive times at bat in
three losing games to Detroit.
