FISH TALES By DICK 8 TRITE Next Friday will be the deadline for steelhead fishing on Lake rrwtb .nrl th Slnslaw until the first run of fish next November or December. The season officially closes Friday evening and the limit remains at two fish per angler per day. We found unusual conditions last Tuesday. Believe it or not the Siuslay was too high and too muddy and Lake Creek too low and too clear for good angling. . . . Ralph Cruz, with Ev Spaulding at the oars, caught two. . . . George Leslie and his unidentified party caught five, including four spawners that were turned back. . . . Most of the fish caught in Lake Creek this final week will likely be old fish and our recommendation which is no better than that of any one else would be to fish the lower river. . . . The Siuslaw, collecting heavy rains last week and muddied by logging operations on the tributaries, should be in fine shape over the weekend. Bob Adair's special "Perfume Bottle" lure Is now In our possession and can be retrieved by the local angling lumberman upon the pay ment of $34 to the Lane County Sports Polio Fund. The lure was confiscated by Freem Stratton at Camp Indiola early in the season when he discovered that Adair would use' no other method of catch ing cutthroat trout or steelhead. The handsome and killer-diller looking plug was put on the block on a progressive bid basis, with the understanding that Adair could have It back after February 15 if he matched all of the bids. . Starting at a buck, the following made bids Monte Moore, Woodrow Moore, Hap Van Winkle, Marquart, McDill, Dear Dragoo, M. J. Ellis, Ray Gibson, Betty Hayes, Simon Johnson, Irish Donahue, Earl Hill, Bob Cuttler the boat putterinner, Reta Cuttler the Indiola biscuit maker, and Bonzanna, the Cuttlers' little black dog. ... Jack Hayes made it two and a half, matched by Al Waltmire and Cricket Waltmire. . . . Stratton made it five for the final bid and retains the trophy if Adair fails to redeem it. Besides the $34 in bids, Stratton mailed in $13.08 collected free lance" for a total of $47.08. . . , If the Wisconsin state assembly approved a bill already passed by the senate, it will be unlawful to shoot birds or animals from an airplane or to use a plane to spot or drive deer. . . . The bill calls for fines of between $50 and $100, jail sentences from 30 days to six months or both. ... The Washington state senate game committee has approved the proposed increase of hunting and fishing licenses to $5 for the state and $2.50 for a single county. . . . The present price is $3 and $1.50. Rumors coming from Coos Bay say the striped bass are running and that good catches are being made. . . . We have asked sponsors of a striped bass derby in that area for information regarding the stripers so that we may pass it along to local anglers who want action between the close of steelhead season and the opening of trout season April 26 . . . Dogs can save millions of pounds of food annually and provide a balanced diet for 8,000,000 people. . . . The idea is not to eat dogs, but to take the dogs into the fields on hunting trips for pheasants and ducks. . . . Remember that for next season, friends and fellow sportsmen. - NORTHERN DIVISION Stendlttss W I.

Anyone who does may meet the same fate as the leading middleweight conten der who had his New York li cense revoked several weeks ago on a charge of failure to report a $100,000 offer to throw a fight. Col. Eddie Eagan, chairman of the New York commission, has maintained a discreet silence on this angle since the National Box ing Association announced on Tuesday that its member states were free to disregard the New York ruling. However, the rules of the New York commission, contain this clause: "Nothing in these rules is deem- ed to define or restrict the pow era of the commission in dischv lining, penalizing or controlling any corporation or person under its jurisdiction for violation of the letter or spirit of the law and rules as it may determine by par ticular action in any situation that may arise." Thus, it seems clear that any fighter now licensed to fight In New York and this includes all the topnotchers, would run a grave nsK in disregarding the commis' sion ban and meeting Graziano anywhere while Rocky is on the shelf. Anything that might keep them fronr appearing In Madison Square Garden, where the big purses are, usually makes a fight er and his manager think twice. Meantime Cleveland promoter Larry Atkins said Graziano was "just about certain to make his next fight in Cleveland" and Sheldon Clark, chairman of the Illinois Athletic Commission, de clared his commission "will give due consideration" if an applica tion is made to hold the second Graziano-Tony Zale middleweight title bout in Chicago this summer. AtKins said that Graziano's Cleveland opponent probably woujo. oe me winner of next Mon. day's fight between Chuck Hun. ter or Cleveland and Jerry Fiorello oi isrooKiyn.

"r..-'i" " rreacner won Millrose Boston bSZTJZLTSH- a". lowed own ' (Associated Press) The University of Idaho basket ball team will throw everything it can lay hands on at Oregon State's rambling Beavers Friday night and Saturday at Moscow in an attempt to avoid setting a record. But Idaho is so close to accomplishing this ultimate in lows that a Palouse County earthquake would be shrugged off as merely an Idaho shudder. The team that took the pennant last year has lost 13 straight and has only the two O.S.C. tilts and one against second place Washington State in which to avoid a whitewash. While the Vandals try to halt the title rush of O.S.C, Washington and Oregon will match speed and shooting ability at Seattle in a bat tle for third place. By Winning both, Oregon could cinch the spot, while Washington needs only, one win in the two games to made sure of at least a tie for third. Washington has been a "Satur day night team" this year on its home floor. Both O.S.C. and Wash' ington State smashed the Huskies in Friday games at Seattle, only to be . crushed in turn on Saturday nights. : If Coach Guy Wicks can brew soma potent coaching magic for Idaho and trip the Beavers he'll keep the gate open for Washintgon State, which retains a slim math' ematical chance at the pennant Slats Gill takes his Beavers across the state line to Pullman Monday and Tuesday for collisions with the Cougars of W.S.C. The weekend activity closes out the season for Washington, leaves Oregon and Idaho with one game to go and the two state colleges with three each. Wilson JrsVin Pair Wilson Junior High defeated Springfield Jr. H. S. quintets twice in regular league play at the Wil son gym this week.

Wilson's 9th grade remains un defeated in league play with a 42 to 23 victory in the nightcap.
