12- SANDY (O r».) POST Thurs., Sept 31. 1978 (Sec. 1) Sandy freshmen gridders beat Astoria in opener Volleyballers take 2nd in tourney The Sandy High g ir ls ’ volleyball team took on some of the top teams in the state last week and proved that it can compete with the best of them The Pioneers traveled to Dallas Thursday and blasted the Dragons out of the gy m 15-4. 15-12 Sandy then placed 2nd in a tournament it hosted at the Pioneer gym "M o st everyone picked Dallas as the team to beat in the other division,” coach Kon Grantz said. “ They’ve got just about everyone back from last year, including Kathy Hill who was a ll league for two years. “ But Dallas wasn t quite as strong as I thought," he added " I t was trying a more complicated offense — much like ours when we started this fall — and their girls were a bit confused. “ They're at the same point we were last winter when we first looked at the offense," Grantz said They were out of place on the court Saturday's tournament brought together a strong field including M arshall, generally regarded as the top team in the state, Gresham, also ranked in the top five, and Ashland, which knocked the Pioneers out of last winning 15-13, 15-10 Mar shall defeated Gresham 15-5, 15-13 to set up the final between the top-rated team in the state and the Pioneers Marshall won the finale, but ju st barely, as the Portland school had to go three games to edge Sandy 15-7, 14-16, 15-16 The double format enabled coaches to try d iffe re n t combinations of players in the round robin and use the most effective lineups in the elimination events And the amount of volleyball played (15 games for Sandy) gave coaches a good indication of how their teams are doing year’s state tournament. Bend and Hillsboro, favored to win their respective leagues, rounded out the field The two part tournament began with a round robin competition and concluded with the top four teams having a showdown for the championship Sandy emerged from the 10-game round robin as the top seed with a 9-1 record M arshall and Gresham finished w ith 7-3 marks, Hillsboro was 3-7 and Bend and Ashland were 2-8 As the top seed, Sandy then played 4th seeded Hillsboro. “ We seemed to alleviate a lot of our e arly season problems — we knew where we were on the court," Grantz said. “ Dur team has tremendous speed and some of the girls were diving at balls that not many other people would try for. “ Our hitters really came alive," he added “ Michelle Cleland was really smashing the ball, and so was Jeanne Duff and Esme Jensen “ We re working hard at getting forearm passes to our setters," Grantz said “ It's a difficult skill, but if we keep improving, we're going to have an exceptional team " The Sandy High freshmen football team got off on the right track last Thursday, derailing the Astoria frosh 14-6 in both squads' season opener Brian Noe scored the first Pioneer touchdown, a 5-yard fullback plunge in the first half. Halfback Ray Vincent picked up the two-point conversion to give Sandy an 8-6 lead. The final Pioneer score came in the second half as quarterback Dan M artin scampered around right end on a keeper for a 5-yard touchdown run The con version attempt failed. But it was the defense which ultimately decided the contest. Sandy lim ited Astoria to five first downs in the game; only one in the second half “ Naturally, I was pleased that we won,” coach Randy Hutchinson said, “ but the game definitely showed our t weak points. “ It was sort of a struggle for both teams," he added "There were a lot of mental errors." Hutchinson felt that his team didn't know the offense well enough, missing several assignments and jumping on the wrong snap count. The Pioneers picked up eight encroachment and motion penalties in the game. The coach said that the team’s blocking also needs some work. “ There was no second e ffo rt in the b lo c k in g ," Hutchinson said “ They don’t realize that they have to block u n til the w histle blows."

The staff was also asked to prepare a management plan for wild trout and other salmonids in the lower 166 miles of the Deschutes and this plan will also be sub mitted and discussed on the 23rd. A m ajor angling rule change proposed this year relates to hook regulations For the past two years a complex set of rules has been in effect for waters with runs of salmon and steelhead Their purpose was to try to reduce ille ga l snagging Department staff and the commission have concluded that these rules have been unnecessarily complex and often ineffective. New proposals deal with in d ivid u a l problem areas and in many instances only during the parts of the year when snagging is a problem The P a cific Ocean is broken out as a separate zone in the regulations for 1979 to make it easier for anglers to find these rules. H ighlights of sta ff r e c o m m e n d a tio n s fo r changes to 1978 rules are listed below according to species and zone, S A LM O N AN D El H E \D REGULA* HON PROPOS\I.S Ocean Zone All salmon of legal size to be considered adults and en tered on the salmon- steelhead catch record card.

Good distribution of water and forage has big game widely dispersed Large concentrations of deer in any one area are alm ost n o n e xiste n t Y e a rlin g forked-horn bucks that contributed substantially to a better than average deer season a year ago w ill be noticeably fewer this year due to low survival of last year's fawn crop OREGON o By Ken Durbin Fish & Wildlife Prospects in Beulah Unit are substantially down from those of last year. A low buck ratio following last year’s season and poor fawn production and survival w ill mean substa ntia lly fewer available bucks Deer are widely dispersed through the Owyhee Unit and. although buck populations are fair, finding them w ill be a challenge Poor to fair is the rating for Malheur River Unit where deer are also very widely scattered due to te rr ific water and food supplies The outlook is somewhat better in the other two 4-point areas, Steens and Beatys Butte units, where there is a fair number of 4-point bucks But there are also a lot of large-antlered 3-point bucks in these units, so hunters should look carefully. Silvies and the western half of Malheur River units should provide good hunting w ith quite a few bucks present. Juniper Unit has a low population of deer and re la tiv e ly few bucks available for hunting this year Although there was a good ca rryove r of bucks in Warner and eastern Inter state units, yearling production is down. Overall, hunters can probably expect a season comparable or slightly improved in Warner Unit and a bit slimmer than last year in the eastern part of the Interstate Unit. Fort Rock and Silver I^ake units w ill have fewer bucks available than last year but a good ca rryove r should provide a few more mature bucks Elk Bull elk hunting prospec ts are little changed from last year in Beulah Unit. There are a few mature bulls available but it w ill take time and patience to find them Prospects for bull elk in the Silvies, Malheur River, and western half of the Beulah Unit are fair to good Mature bulls w ill make up a good percentage of the harvest. Again elk are relatively few compared with herds in the northeastern part of the state and they are widely scat tered and hard to come by Whitehorse Unit is again limited this year to hunting for buck deer with at least four points on a side This reg ula tion has increased overall buck numbers but the carryover of large adult Upland Game bucks this year is low. Malheur County pheasant Success w ill probably be production is up con substantially less than it was siderably from last year s last ye ar Hunters are low and should provide cautioned to be careful and better hunting prospects avoid shooting sub-legal Early August pheasant trend bucks A large portion of the counts indicated a pheasant bucks in the unit w ill populations 80 percent higher than at the same time last probably be three points f year Farming operations and crop harvesting at time of the season opening w ill have a strong effect on available pheasant cover and hunting conditions. Best prospects should be in the general area south from Cairo to Big Bend. Valley quail populations in Malheur County are the same or a bit better than last year. Chukar production is much improved over last year when populations were severely reduced from ef fects of the drought. Num bers are still below normal, however, and this combined with a wide distribution of birds this year will probably mean difficult hunting. Harney County quail populations look good this year and should provide good hunting along brushy creek bottoms and on agricultural lands. Chukar populations on the Steens, Beatys Butte, and Malheur River units will provide good hunting Better areas include the South Fork to the Malheur from Riverside to Crane and from Denio north to Crowley. Broods are large but many are still smaller than normal due to a late hatch. Quail populations in Lake County are down compared with last year but there are still good numbers of them available and relatively few quail hunters Pen-raised pheasants and wild quail w ill provide some upland hunting in the Summer Lake area. Waterfowl Local production of waterfowl in Malheur County was fa irly good and should provide some early season shooting prior to later arrival of northern birds. Good hunting is expected for local birds on the Malheur Refuge and along the South Fork of the Malheur River during the early season Water supplies in Warner Valley are much improved this year and there should be fair early season shooting for locally produced ducks and early migrants. S ilv e r Lake lake bed remains nearly dry but other small lakes and ponds could provide some limited hunting in north Lake County. Summer Lake should be fair to good for ducks Production of snow geese on Wrangell Island has been very poor again fo r several years running. R eflecting a reduced population of these birds, the federal waterfowl framework called for a bag lim it reduction from three to one bird from the opening of waterfowl season through November 9 in Lake and Klamath coutmes After that the bag lim it returns to three for the remainder of the season but few, if any, snow geese wil remain by then.
