i ii mm Si 0 m in rm, Weekend wssh: If you're one who can't so the deep tea fishing because of sea sickness, have a try at some of those new pill prescribed; by the medicos. Lota of folks tell us they're the McCoy and that your;itom ach stays anchored after a doseage. A few other! insist , the pills amount to Just that much more food for the fish . . . Note to A. H. Craven of Monmouth: We've no Idea Just how old was that 72 pound salmon caught in Canada by one Mrs. Lionel Pa tton recent- ly. but will refer your letter , to Don Harger our fact-finding out doorsman. We'd like to know the answer to. that one too' . . The interest ini Oregon State's new-deal football team i decidedly up, as . a talk .with Beaver Athletic Info ' Director Jrwin tlarris emphasizes. Irwin says the demand for ducats - for the Montana, WSC, California and Michigan Slate games is in deed heavy, which is always a good indication this early. The Beavers play Montana and WSC at Corvallis and California and Michigan State at Portland. At 4he rate the calls for tickets are now coming in, Harris figures both Portland tilts will be sellouts. He He also reminds, naturally, that ducats can be had by applying to AL SIMPSON j ' either Athletic Director Spec Keene or Assistant tori Baker, MU ' building. Corvallis ... M6st publicity concerning th Oregon prepperi expected to have big seasons as collegians this fall has been handed : to ex-Medford Black Tornado lads Bob Watson and Darrell Riggs, now at UCLA, and to former Grant high whiz Pat Duff, now at USC. Prac- tically overlooked in comparison is Earl SteUe, Jim? Aiken's top hope as successor to Norm Van Brocklin as Oregon's T-formatlon quarter back. Stelle prepped at Medford also, right along with Watson and Riggs. In fact he was the No. 2 quarterback on the Tornado teams under Coach Al Simpson, and passing the pigskin wasn't his main forte. Stelle has since learned to pitch the vat perhaps not as expertly as Van Broklin, but effectively enoughs to warrant the great hope Aiken has in him for the upcoming season. Speaking of .Simpson, be feels nothing bat food aboat the L prospects of his season at Southern Oregon. Doft Campbell, the -former .Oregon Stater who couldn't see eye to eye With Lon Stiner and transferred to Ashland, Is mw eligible and Simpson predicts the little scat back will be another Charley D'AOtremont and Chock Jandrean all in one piece . . . I I I Committee Alone Can Handle it Appropriately j There will be no mass crusade to Portland Wednesday to talk sale with Bill Mulligan, for obvious reasons. The committee assigned by the save-the-Senators movement to buzz with Mulligan on the possible - purchase of the Solons unanimously agreed that any mob converging on the general manager's office might louse up the whole deal. The ' " committee has been directed only to find out the pr&e tag on the local holdings and just how a deal for them might be made. The men feel that they can accomplish this easier by meeting With? Mulligan private ly. i : i r - ;s1 v , The meetins? definitely has been If necessary, the results of same will be delivered by the committee men during another mass meeting here shortly after ... f Perhaps Spokane's red-headed Jack Parks Isn't the red hot major league prospect after all. We've .listened to three topnotch scouts deliver on Parks (all three wish identity be. kept mum) and they Insist Parks', throwing Is poor and that he doesn't have a , "quick" and "sore" pair of hands. At the sam time the! Ivory hunters add that he's - big enough, young enettgh, f sst enough and powerful enough. But he's also gotta be ? a good receiver -with a good as well as accurate arm. I f ; To make matters worse, for Parks at least, the scouts watched him v perform for almost a week after he got married; As it would happen, that week was Parks' worst of the season . . . I j , Glamorized Wagner Still Vp to Old Trlcki Guess who was mixed up in this: ? "One fan was knifed and at least two others tajered In th : V free-for-all which followed the wrestling decision at the Los Angeles Olympic auditorium last night. Police said the fight started after one grappler bad tossed the other oat of the ring and V was awarded the decision. Angry fans then Jumped Into the ring and the general fight spread from the ring into the aisles and seats, and finally outside the building. Auditorium f police, aided by cores of reinforcements from the riot squad, restored order and emptied the building." , ; . ", Yep, you guessed right the first time.' Our Gorgeous George was mack in the middle of that one and it was he who tossed the other gladiator from the ring to start the brawl. The guy hasn't fchanged a bit He started out inciting similar riots in our , village armory not too many years ago when he was just plain George Wagner, and could mooch a gas ration stamp from a member of the ration board . j . Who will and whs won't be called In by the Portlands from the Senators after Labor Day, and who ean be egpected back here, again next year. If there la a next year? Your guess is as good as anyone's so have at It Bill Burgher, Cal Mclrvin. Martyl Krug. Art Pennington and Bud Peterson are on option from theiBevos and are sure to be recalled. Whether they get to play Is question able, as the Portlands are still after a finish in the first division. The others are under Salem contracts arid jfrill be involved in the sale discussion with Boss Mulligan, if there Is a chance for local enthusisasts to purchase the Senators part of the Bevo .holdings. : - ri 1 Albany, 'Bucks' Win; Druse Face Wje'&t Linn EUGENE, Ore., Aug. 2HVtlwyn Shaw hurled no-hit, no-run ball in leading Albany to a 2 to 0 shutout over St. Helens Jn one of two quarter finals played tonight In the Oregon Softball tournament Pendleton moved to the semi-finals by edging Corvallis, 1 to 0, in an eigm inning contest, uennis Jobes scored the run, coming In on an error on Don Grossmuller's hit to shortstop.
