field. Lewis, with eight lettermen
listed among his crew along with
a batch of promising freshmen,
expects the '49 club to be defin

last year. The infield shapes up
as one of the team's stronger
points and the squad's power pos
sibilities are encouraging. The
pitching outlook is uncertain.
Letterman Roy Harrington, a
reliable mittman in '48, will han
dle most of the backstop duties.
Righthanders Howard Olson and
Lou Scrivens, both starters last

good share of the pitching hopes.

quite legal to talk turkey with the high schoolers when they are on

a boot out this little one-act play last week at Eugene:

Sox Manager Onslovo High on Sevens
v White Sox Mgr. Jack Onslow has until May io decide whether to
keep BUI Bevens or send him back to the Yankees, and the move he
makes finally will depend upon how Bill's ailing shoulder holds up
between now and then. So far the shoulder has come through in A-l
chape, and although Bevens has been frightfully wild in his early
spring sorties on the mound he has had "good stuff," in the hurling:

The concensus of opinion holds that- Bevens: always has been a
wild" pitcher, so his inaccuracy of this spring Is nothing to be alarm
ed about. So long as he has his stuff back again, hell be okeh. And
keeping that stuff depends upon how weU the shoulder holds up. If
the thing stands up to expectations, Onslow figures on Bill as his No.

The 20-year-old Los Angeles
youth dropped a set for the first
time in the annual tournament as
he eliminated Dr. Reginald Weir
of New York, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4, and
progressed to the quarter-finals.
Their match produced the finest
tennis of the four-day-old board

than the final score would indi
cate. In the quarter-finals on Wed

House Gives Approval
To Licenos Fee Jump
Increases approximating 23 per cent In fishing and hunting
license fees were approved by the house and sent to the senate Mon
day. The senate, in turn, passed a house-a pproved measure reorganiz
ing the state game committee but amended the house version to call
for only five commissioners in
stead of 7.
There were 11 votes against the
license fee increase. Southern
Oregon members lost by a 29 to
27 vote a move to leave the non
resident hunting license fee at
$25, instead of at $50 where the
game committee voted to put it
The bills would make the fol
lowing license raises:
csident hunting $3 to $4, non--
Resident hunting 93 to S4, non
dent fishing $3 to $4, non-resident
fishing $10 to $15, new license for
non-resident fishing $5 for 5 days
and $2 for 2 days, resident hunt
ing and fishing $5 to $7, juvenile
hunting or fishing, $1 to $2, resi
dent elk tag $5 to $7.50, non-resident
elk tag stays at $25, resident
deer tag 50 cents to $1, non-resident
deer tag $2.50 to $15, game
raisers $2 to $5. trappers $3 to $6.
The increased license fees would
be effective next January 1.
