Steelhead angling continues to
be gocd in the Columbia river
between Boardman and Arlington
both from the bank and boat
The lower John Day river is pro

head angling is picking up in
Wallowa county with the lower
Wallowa river, the Imnaha and
Grande Ronde rivers remaining
good.
A few silver salmon are be
ing caught in the Grande Ronde
river at Troy. Unity reservoir is

Brownlee reservoir remains good
for bass angling. Steelhead and
salmon angling is excellent at the
mouth of Pine creek below Ox

HUNTING REPORT
Hunters should carry chains as
Eastern Oregon has j had much
rain and some snow the past
weekend. Roads at present are
muddy and slick. Hunting con
ditions are good, however, due
to the rainfall in the area. Bet
ter hunting in Umatilla county
may be found on the north fork
of the John Day river, Pearson'
Lookout, Cable creek; Upper Ca
mas creek, Jericho creek, Bat
tle Mountain, Upper Meacham
creek, Upper Umatilla and the
Walla Walla river area The lat
ter area has some big bucks but
is harder to hunt because of lack
of reads and the steep terrain.
Good deer hunting is anticipat
ed in all of Baker and Union
counties except in dense stands
of timber. Best prospects will be
in sagebrush and open 'timber.
Hunting above limbcrline will be
productive if storms subside for
several days.
Fresh snow falling during the
early part of the week have made
roads muddy and hunters must
carry rhains in Walluwa county.

The La Grande Tigers face their toughest game of the
still young prep season when they entertain the big, brawny
Lava Bears from Bend on the high school field tonight.
La Grande will open up its split-T attack in an el fort to
push across the touchdowns they missed against Redmond
'ast week. The Tigers' stone wall defense, meanwhile, will
be fighting to stop the offensive slants of Robert Bjorvick
and the passing of Larry Carter
the Bear quarterback.
This will be the first m'eling
between the two teams and La
Grande will want to make the
Initial fncounter a victory for the
home forces. The Bears at: lied
for the league lead with one vic
tory against no losses fo'lowing
the first week of play in the new
Intermcuntain loop. The Tigrs
will be striving to even their
record at the .500 mark.
"We have good team attitude
and that will make a difference."
commented Tiger coach Franz
Haun.
The Tigers will, for the first
time this year, face a team that
outweighs them.'1 La Grande's
forward wall lead by Buck Corey
'2001 and Gary Vorur '200 will
be similar to the outfit that opened
th first three games for the
Tigers.
' Dennis Spray 170 will be ot the
other flanker spot. Don Graham
M901 and either Ron Coleman
U90 or Lonnie Myers 180' will
op?n at the tackle spots. Vcruz
will be at center and Laurence
Smutz U95) and Greg Bluekman
(1751 will be at the guards. -
Ray Westcnskow 175 will di
rect the Tigers attack from the
quarterback spot.' "Jim Cormtl
1 165) will be at the left halfback
spot and Dave Carman 175i will
operate at the opposite side.
Power man in the Tiger offense
will be senior fullback Don Smith
175 1 . All four Tiger backs are
speedy and West?nskow is fast
becoming a master of the roll out
on the split-T attack.
Corey the top pass matcher for
the Tigers will be on the receiving
end of most of We stenskow's pass
es and the Lava Bears will be
wary of letting the big. bruising

Point.
Chesnimnus area should be
fair. Any area above 5,000 feet
will probably have snow the be-ginning-'-of
deer eaon5'"
Rain in Grant county has made
hunting conditions excellent.
Deer are out of the heavy brush
and well scattered through! the
summer ranges. Both large and
small bucks are numerous. Best
success should be found on main
ridges and peaks from Aldrich
mountain east through Dry So
da' and Logan valley in the Mur
derer's creek unit. Baldy and
Sheep mountain should produce
some good bucks in the Beulah
unit.
The Northside unit from Dixie
mountain West through Camp
creek and Long Creek mountain
should be good. Vinegar moun
tain, Indian Rock and Desolation
creek in the Desolation unit
should provide good hunting
with deer being numerous at
medium and higher elevations.
If more rain should fall this
weekend only main toads in Grant
county will be passable. Chains
are advised for all vehicles. Deer
are scatterd, abundant, and in
good condition in Wheeler and
Heppner units. Some of the bet
ter producing areas will be the
breaks of the John Day river
and its tributaries, Ditch, Willow
and Skookum creeks, Kahior bas
in, -the Notch, Kinzua and lands
adjacent to alfalfa fields.
WATERFOWL HUNTING
Waterfowl hunting opens at
noon Oct. 7. Good duck hunting
should be found in Baker and Un
ion counties. Ducks will be avail
able on the main John Day river
and in- dredge ponds in Grant
county. '
A number of geese are also
to be found in the Kimberly area.
Waterfowl hunting in Gilliam,

too bad for a start, but what do
1 do now for an encore?
When you've been around the
majors as long as I have, you
don't feel there are many thrills
lett in store for you. This was by
far my biggest one, though.
Here am I, a guy who has spent
practically my entire career in
the National League and never
dreamed not until a week ago,
anyway of ever getting in a
World Series anymore.
And to start it off like this
well, sir, I don't think I can ever
top it.
I didn't think that first homer
of mine was going all the way in
the third inning. I thought it was
going to come down short. There
wasn t any question in my mind
about the second one, though. I
knew that was gone for good.
Happy? Didn't you notice how I

Boy, I was really in clover trot

The thing that really pleased

THE EAST
Pitt over UCLA It's easy to

Also: Washington over Utah,
Wyoming over Utah State, Idaho

THE SOUTH
LSU over Baylor The World

Southern California and Ohio
State, a pair of top-ranked college
football powers, will kick off an
other week end of major intersec
tional -skirmishes Friday night
when they "collide at the Los An
geles Coliseum.
The sixth-ranked Trojans, who
trounced Oregon State and Pitts
burgh in their first two games,
are narrow two-point favorites
over the Big Ten Conference in
vaders. Ohio Stale shared 10th place
with Notre Dame in this week's
I'PI ratings and hopes to move
up a couple of notches by defeat
ing USC. The Buckeyes opened
their season last Saturday by
edging Duke, 14-13.
It will mark the first night

West Virginia is a six-point fav

Kentucky is a seven-point choice
over Detroit in other major Fri

The biggest attractions on Sat
urday's card are Northwestern vs
Iowa and Notre Dame vs Purdue.
Northwestern was ranked sec
ond in the nation following its
45-13 victory over once-mighty Ok
lahoma last Saturday but is a one
point underdog against Iowa,
which opened its season by clob
bering California, 42-12.
Purdue, although ifnranked
among the top ten, is a three
point favorite to hand Notre Dame
its first defeat under new coach
Joe Kuharich. The Irish romped
to a 28-8 triumph over North Car
olina last ' Saturday while Purdue
battled UCLA to a scoreless tie
in its opener.
Top-ranked Louisiana State is a
21-point favorite over Baylor.
Fourth-ranked Army is a 10
point choice over Illinois but seventh-ranked
Clemson is a one
point underdog for its meeting
with Georgia Tech.
In other games, fifth-r a n k e d
Mississippi is an "out" favorite
against Memphis State, eighth
ranked Texas is a 10-point choice
over California and ninth-ranked
Wisconsin is picked to defeat Marquette.

POiiTLAND, Ore. (UPI
Nearly 100 golf professionals set
out on the second round of the
$2).000 Portland Centennial Open ;
today in pursuit of a young ex
marine. Tony Lerna. 25, of San Leandro, 1
Calif., broke out of a summer
long slump Thursday to show the,:
field his heels with a seven-under-
oar BS on tne velvety fairways
and greens of the Portland Golf

They also offered $50 for holes
in one, a td a hometowner, Harvey

the first ace of his life on the

Lema Slumped This Year
Lema, who made his first pro
tour last year and won more than
$15,000. slumped badly this year
after a winter operation and has
won little more than $5,000. His
highest finish was a tie for 10th
in the Texas Ooen.
He suffered two bogeys Thurs
day with three-putt greens, but
countered them with a five-foot
putt for an eagle on the 523-yard
fifth hole, and fashioned seven
birdies. His finest shot was a chip
on the 18th which stopped two
inches from the cup.
