Ore. 7 S Rainbows Growing At Diamond Lake Excellent growth hat been shown by the Canadian rainbow trout planted at Diamond Lake last June, according to an item in the January issue of the Ori'Kun Slate Game Commission Bulletin. The fish were planted following re habilitation of the lake in the fall of 1954. According to the report, at the time of the planting, the fish av eraged 4.9 inches, whereas a gill net collection in November caught fish averaged 10.8 inches. Diamond Lake is also making a rapid recovery in fish food produc tivity. A recent bottom sampling at the lake showed an increase from 2.6 pounds of food per acre in 1954 to 92.8 pounds per acre in 1955. Although the present volume of fish food organisms has risen in volume, it is still considerably be low the 292 pounds per acre found by the initial survey in 1946. 'Boston Tar Baby7 Called By Death CAMBRIDGE, Mass. on Sam Langford, 72, who gained fame in boxing circles as the "Boston Tar Baby", died at a nursing home Thursday three months after he gained a spot in boxing's Hail of Fame. Langford had fought 642 bouts from 1902 through 1923. A year after his final bout, he went blind and might have spent his old a Re in obscurity if it weren't for the kindness of boxing fans. A few years ago. Al Laney a sports writer for the New York Herald Tribune, found the desti tute Langford living in a cold room in New York's Harlem. Laney immediately began a drive for funds, which reportedly reached $1.0,892. Langford's only source of income in recent years was the trust fund set up from the contributions. Although Langford's heaviest fighting weight was 1624 pounds and he stood only $ feet, 64 inches, he took on many heavyweights dur ing his long career. Many ring experts considered him the greatest fighter, pound-for-pound, in the history of profes sional boxing.

As far as the Football Rules Commit tee of the NCAA is concerned, it is up to the coaches of the country to solve the false start or so-called "sucker shift.' ' The false start is a move by one team to draw another team offside and gain a 5-yard penalty. Earlier this week in Los An geles the American Football Coach es Assn. voted to let its committee on ethics deal with the culprits. So the governing NCAA rule makers in session here decided Thursday to let it go at that, and chairman H. O. (Fritz) Cnsler of the University of Michigan, de clared the coaches are to be com mended and his committee "sup ports them enthusiastically." It also is being talked that Frankie will come up soon with Vic Lindskog, who centered tor him when they made the modern T-form a Hon famous at Stanford, as a line coach. Players who could be reached were enthusiastic about Albert as their coach. Dickie Moegle, getting ready for the East-West pro all star game, said "Frankie is a fine person. . . I expect a big improvement in team morale and 1 think we'll snap back to our old time form." Dillard Due Home For Indoor Carries BOSTON Harrison ( Bones Dillard, with an eye toward a third Olympic appearance, comes "home" Saturday night as the 30th Knights of Columbus Games launches the indoor banked-board track season at Boston Garden.

Two other Olympic record men, Horace Ashenfelter in the two-mile and the Rev. Bob Richards in the pole vault, are overwhelming fa vorites in their specialties. Chicago Cufcs Sign Old Foe Russ Meyer CHICAGO W It's a cinch the Chicago Cubs in 1956 won't lose any more games to their old tor mentor, pitcher Russ Meyer. And that's about the only sure thing the sixth - place National League finishers of last season can say. They have eliminated the pos sibility of losing to .Meyer by the simple process of obtaining him from the Brooklyn Dodgers. Seven years ago the tubs traded the Al-year-old righthander only to have him wreak vengeance by beating them 24 times. Now the lanky hurler from Peru, 111., is back in Cub uniform. He agreed to contract terms Thurs day. Meyer won only six games for the Dodgers last' year, but three of them were over the Cubs. His presence is bound to make for some improvement in the club as ; forecast at a news conference by ! manager Stan Hack, j Hack said that the Cubs might ! crack the first division.
