He finished third on the team in
rushing with 283 yards in 81 car

Humphreys closed fast and was

"Jerry is one of the most de

good speed, adequate size and likes
contact. He and White gave us the
best set of halfbacks in the Oregon

The two former Roseburg high

DETROIT (AP) The Detroit

Bighorn Mountain Sheep
Elude State Came Officials
Bighorn mountain sheep, some
36 of these noble big game ani
mals held within the 4.000-acre en
closure on the west escarpment of
Hart Mountain, gave game offi
cials the official runaround last
week during an attempt lo live
trap some of the animals and
transplant them to a new home.
Shtp Escape Balng Trapped
When the (rapping attempt was
over, the proud bighorns were still
nimble, alert, and free within the
Hart mountain enclosure, but nine
leg weary, foot sore, and winded
game agents knew they had been
outwitted, outran and outmancuv-
eren.
The trapping attempt began
more than two weeks ago when
game agents converged on the
Hart Mountain enclosure and made
a drive to herd as many bighorn
sheep as possible within a 30-acre
pasture. Nine sheep were captured
within the confines of the small
pasture at tho time, six rams, two
ewes, and one lamb. The sex ra
tio was decidedly out of balance
for the transplant, hut additional
ewes were to be raptured at a la
ter date. The problem now was lo
trap and transplant the raptured
animals lo ineir new home.
Deer Cause Problems
On Nov. l the trapping attempt
was made. Game men converged
on the sheep within the small en
closure lo drive the animals into
a wing trap located along the fence
line. On the first two drives all
sheep were heading into the trap,

Hockey Returns
To City Of Roses
PORTLAND (AP)-Hockey re
turned to Portland after a decade
Tuesday night and the Portland
Buckaroos got right into winning
ways with a 3-2 Western Hockey
League decision over bpokane.
A crowd of S.S84 was on hand
for the opener in Portland's new
Memorial Coliseum, a turnout of
respectable size although officials
had been hoping for 10,000.
Portland, pulling its league rec
ord even at five wins, five losses
and a tic, featured a tough de
fense that blanked Spokane until
there were only seven minutes re
maining. Then in a scramble in front of
the Portland net Dick Lamoreaux
of Spokane pushed the puck past
Portland goalie Don Head, cutting
Portland's lead to 21.
Eddie Dudych of Portland four
minutes later uncorked a long,
hard shot that deflected off Spo
kane player-coach Colin Kilburn
and sailed into the Spokane net.
That did it, although Lamoreaux
managed another goal in the last
second of the game in another
scramble in front of the Portland
goal.
Portland tallied twice in the
opening period on shots by Arnie
Schmautz and Jack Bionda.
but unfortunately three deer were
also among the band. The deer
readily entered the trap, on bolh
occasions ahead of the band of
sheep, but panicked when they
found no escape route on the other
end.
In the wild melee that followed
as the deer stampeded in the trap,
the sheep refused to enter. They
surveyed the situation carefully,
decided their route of escape was
back through the drivers, and de
liberately charged on a wide front
much like the forward ranks of a
football team.

Ag Is Oldest
Pro Grid Player
LOS ANGELES (AP) Con
sidering that some of his team
mates were only 3 or 4 years old
when he started in professional
football, Ben Agajanian must be
regarded as an amazing article.
Now 41 and a trim 200 pounds,
Ben is the place-kicking specialist
for the Los Angeles Chargers of
the American Football League.
He is the oldest player in pro
ranks in the country, and in his
18 years he has played in every
major and bush league in the
U.S.
Aggie shrugged off reports he
might retire.
"Quit? I'm having too much
fun," he said Tuesday.
His greatest years, in widely
separated stretches, were with
the New York Giants in 1950-51-52
and 1955-56-57 and part of 1958.
The Philadelphia Eagles, Wash
ington Redskins, the Rams and
the Los Angeles Dons of the
old All-America Conference, Pitts
burgh, the Hollywood Bears (1942)
Agajanian has played for the
best.
He decided, early that he would
last longer as a kicking specialist.
This year Aggie has kicked six
field goals. His three field goals.
one for 46 yards, beat the Denver
Broncos.
He lost all but the little toe of
his right-kicking-foot in a freight
elevator accident in 1941. Today
he can joke about such a tragedy.

to make a placekicker out of his
son.

When he was taken out 28 sec
onds later he received an ovation.
It was incidental that Los Angel
es beat the Knicks 123-108 in the
feature of the Garden doublehead
er after the Detroit Pistons had
wiped out a 20-point deficit to beat
the Boston Celtics 115-114 in over
time. Robertson Stars
Baylor's feat also overshadowed
the 44 points scored by Oscar Rob
ertson in Cincinnati's 124-115 vic
tory over Philadelphia, the War
riors' second straight defeat after
a nine-game winning streak.
"I got very nervous when they
announced I had set a Garden rec
ord at 59 points," Baylor said in
the dressing room. "They tried to
feed me so much when the crowd
started chanting that I asked the
boys to let me make my own
plays."
Strangely, Baylor said he got a
bigger thrill when he set the pre
vious record with his 64 points a
year ago.
"That was against Boston," he
recalled. "And the reason it was
such a big thrill is that it broke a
22 game losing streak for us
against the Celtics."
Detroit Beats Boston
Detroit and Cincinnati broke los
ing streaks in beating Boston and
Philadelphia. The Pistons had lost
17 in a row to the Celtics since
Nov. 9, 1958. The Royals had taken
it on the chin from the Warriors
13 straight times since Feb. 13,
1959. , i. .
For a time it seemed that the.,
Pistons would lose their 18th
straight to the Celtics. Behind by
20 points in the third quarter they
rallied to tie at 103-103. With only
four seconds left in overtime the
Pistons trailed 114-113 but won on
Gene Shue's long set shot.
Robertson's 44 points on 17 field
goals and 10 free throws at Cincin
nati was his best showing as a pro.
He outscored Philadelphia's star.
