If :s. 1? , t -flRO 5 By DON HARGER r - - " From all appearances the Willamette Valley pheasant shooters experienced one of the most productive opening week-ends in quite some time. The upper valley south of Salem was the most productive, especially on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Hunters in the Inde pendence and Monmouth area report good shooting and quite a few birds. .The stubble fields east of Albany and south of Corvallis also produced many birds. Shooters gunning )he area near Grand Island reported plenty of birds. All in all the pheasant population surpris ed many of the gun toters, as prior to the opening of the season not too many birds were in evidence". . . Early reports coming in from Eastern Oregon in the Ontario, Nyssa. Vale and Harper areas would indicate that the birds over in that section of the state are thicker than a morning fog. Malheur County seems to be harboring more of the wily ring-necks this year than for many a season . . . Quail shoot ing in the Redmond-Madras area is reported to be top flight with more birds than last year. We can vouch personally that there were lots of quail in that area last season. If there are more this season there should be plenty. " - T Severe Scarcity of Northern Ducks Here As far as the; waterfowl are concerned the Willamette Valley is suffering from a severe lack of northern ducks. The local birds are already getting scarce and shy. Looks as if a severe storm is needed up in the north country to move some of the fowl down where we can get a bang at 'em. Although plenty of northern birds seem to be coming into the Lakeview, Malheur and Klamath Lake country, the birds that travel our particular flyway are still holding ofL Sportsmen in the North Bend area are making progress in pre; venting future gun accidents. On September 23 the North Bend nim- rods opened a Junior Hunting Safety School following the pattern of those in New York state. Twenty-seven junior shooters have al ready been graduated from the school which was sparked by George Shults, North Bend sportsman.

Trojans Lilted' Over Webf oots Severe Shellacking ' Visioned for Bevos By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES (A UCLA and California, both determined, to stay in the running for the Rose Bowl, dominate the weekend slate in the Pacific Coast Conference in a game to bejlayed here Satur day. - - .-V---- The ' other bowl aspirants, ia- eluding high riding Stanford, have little to fear from opponents. ' Coach Chuck Taylor's Stanfords, the only upntied and unbeaten team in conference play, entertain a willing but weak Washington State outfit at Palo Alto. Southern California, tied by Washington but undefeated and ineligible for the Rose Bowl, should be able to take it easy with Oregon at Portland. Washington engages Utah in a none-conference tilt at Seattle, and what undermanned Oregon State faces a Michigan State team that must still be aroused and angry off Its loss to Purdue certainly warrants deep sympathy. Idaho has "no game scheduled. That leaves California's two big state universities, the Golden Bears and the now fully grown up brother Bruins of UCLA, to provide most jof the excitement California literally fumbled its way off the bowl trail in losing to a hard hitting Southern Cal Tro jan teanf. UCLA took it, on the chin by one point. 21-20, from Stanford, for its lone defeat of the season. The Uclans used Washington State for a sparring partner last week . whacking the sophomore ridden Cougars by a 44-7- count California was dumped by the Trojans, 32-20. three costly fum bles leading to as many Trojan touchdowns, Coach Pappy Waldorf undoubtedly has been busy all week re-acquainting the Bears with a football. ' Debated here was the point of whether the Trojans may have taken a lot out of California, giv ing UCLA an edge. Or whether the Bears will be so enraged with their ' carelessness that they'll bounce back and subdue the Bruins. Just for the record, and the record is none too good, this de partment picks UCLA over Cal, USC over Oregon, Stanford over WSC and Oregon State to enjoy at least the eastbound trip to East Lansing, Mich. statesman Statesman, Satan, Or Friday, Oct 30. 1953 (Sec 3) 1 No Cash Involved iuliller Syndicate fiains Control of Ssals Club LOS ANGELES (Jf) The San Francisco baseball franchise and players were awarded for no cash money to the Damon Miller syn dicate late Thursday by directors of the Pacific Coast League.

The Ivy group admittedly does not produce the best football in the world and it counts on the "fam ily" attendance of old grads, stu dents and their friends and rela fives to fill the stadium seats. But the . Jvy colleges , and the comparatively small Border Con ference registered the two big gains in attendance during Sep tember and October while the big time leagues were losing ground. On a national scale, the attend ance decline doesn t amount to a great deal and the November big games may change the whole sit uation, : .V ' Last year in 324 games, the teans drew 7,800,840 spectators. an average of 24,077 per game. This year they have played to 7453,514 in 308 games, for .a 23,274 average just 803 fewer per game. The Pacific Coast Conference so far shows .a decline of 4.37 per cent from 1952 figures. That's for 28 games this season compared to 32 last year. Total attendance so far is 878,244 compared with 1,056,' 261 last year.

Waters Field Winner Will Enter Playoffs Salem High's undefeated and untied Vikings, ranked No. 5 in the state prep football round up, put their sparkling record on the line tonight at Waters Field in the final District 8 A-l clash on the Vik schedule. And notice ably present to take a fuU whack at it will be the nnranked Leb anon High Warriors who, de spite their absence in the elite "top ten" in the state, boast a record almost as good as that sported by the Salems. Lee Gustaf son's Vikings have won seven in a row. George Van Pelt's Warriors have won six, lost one. The lone setback was a 21-27 nod to Corvallis, the team the Salems downed 14-0 last week. Tonight's battle and it likely will be just that from opening whistle to final gun will con ceivably spin its winner into the post-season playoffs as the 8 A-l representative. There will be no doubt about it if the Salems come, through. And if Lebanon comes ' in with the win, which would put the Warriors into a final district standings tie with the Vikings, it is entirely pos sible that - the ensuing voting would favor the Lebanons.
