Ducks
Crucial Series
May Decide
Division Race
The Northern Division basket
bill leadership, and possibly the
championship will be at stake at
McArthur Court Friday and at
Gill ColUscum Saturday when the
OSC Beavers (4-0) and the Ore
gon Webfoots (5-1) meet in the
opening of a four-game series.
The two teams split last season

teams split the four-game scries
last season.
Some 1,500 general admission
tickets were placed on sale at

There is considerable specula
tion regarding the status of Wade
Halbrook, 7-foot, 3-inch OSC cen
ter, dismissed from the Beaver
Bquad by Coach Slats Gill earlier
In the week.
Coach Bill Borchcr's plans for
the series will differ greatly, de
pending on the appearance of
Halbrook.
Borchcr's starting lineup is cer
tain to be Max Anderson at cen
ter, Jim Loscutoff and Ray Bell,
forwards; Howard Page and Phil
McHugh, guards. Gill's lineup
will likely be either Halbrook or
7-foot Phil Shadoin at center,
Reggie Halligan and Jay Dean,
forwards; Larry Paulus and Ron
Robins, guards.

are riding a five-game winning
Itreak, while Don Kirsch's Ore

FISH TALES
By DICK
if The annual merry-go-round on fishing regulations for
the 1955 season and the inevitable proposal of lifting the
14-Inch size limit on trout taken on the McKenzie. ... We have
talked many times with Chris Jensen, resident biologist for the
Oregon Game Commission, regarding the advantages of the size
limit and the killing of brood trout. . . . The limit has been on
for four seasons and the residents of the McKenzie feel that the
regulation has resulted in little, if any increase in the trout
population. ...
Jensen, who is a professional in the fish business, still feels
that the limit is advantageous and his best argument is his
conviction that 50 per cent or more trout taken originate from
natural propagation. We must go along with Jensen and his ideas
and at the same time sympathize with residents of the McKenzie,
the guides and the resort owners. . . .
There is no question that fewer out-of-town vacationers are
coming to the McKenzie, but their absence is more a matter of
not being able to show-off a big fish rather than the actual catch
ing of the fish. There is still nothing illegal about hooking, play
ing and catching a Redside of 14 inches or larger. The .angler
can still have the fun. Economically, it is best to keep the brood
trout in the river in view of the fact that it costs -bout $1 or
$1.50 to put a hatchery trout into the creel. . . .
Trout fishing on the McKenzie last season was poor, but not
because the 14-inch limit has failed to produce the wanted results.
. . . For the last two years, during the change in hatchery opera
tion, only 16,000 or 17,000 pounds of fish have been planted.
The previous year 30,000 pounds went into the river. . . , That
makes quite a difference in the creel count. . . .
The decrease in angler population on the McKenzie may not
be entirely the fault of the 14-inch limit. . . . Opening of the
Detroit and Lookout Point reservoirs, where fishing has been
excellent and will likely be again this season, has had its toll.
Then again, there are many who have taken up salmon fishing. . .
Maybe Howard Vandin, who lives on the McKenzie along the
riffle just ilow Kagle Rock, has the answer: "Close the
river to all fishing, except to me. I'll do experimental angling."
Seriously, Howard feels that the big mistake is to transport
McKenzie Hatchery fish to the Willamette and Willamette Hatch
ery fish to tho McKenzie.
MAILABUCK
Fishing regulations will not be definitely set until
the final meeting Jan. 28, but a bus-load of McKenzie resi
dents will carry considerable weight when the final rules are
drafted. . . . Almost certain to be approved will be the 20-20 limit
on salmon or stcclhead, making possible the catching of 40 steel
head in one season, but no more than 20 salmon in the 40-fish
limit. ... If the new limit is passed maybe there will be more
honest reports from the punch cards. . . ,
Stcclhead fishing has been slow on the Siuslaw recently and
most of the blame is placed on a herd of scalions at the mouth
of the river. . . . Archie Barnes, veteran "Vinemaple Savage"
guide, estimated that 75 per cent of fish taken in the Siuslaw
are marked and damaged by the sealions. . . .
We know some of the boys wbo used to control this matter
by using rifles, but it is illegal to shoot sealions. Off the Rogue
and Umpqua, past the three-mile limit, the sealions can be killed.
... If the scalions are actually threatening the run of stcelhead
in the Siuslaw, it seems likely the Oregon Game Commission
could call an emergency to eliminate the pests throught the
federal government. ...
The Game Commission did a study on the Rogue, finding
that the scalions did considerable less damage to stcclhead and
salmon than at first believed. . . .
Art Gcrlach of Newport, Game Commission man, said that he
had received no reports on the Siuslaw scalions, which are pro
tected by the Federal government. He believes, however, that
usually most damage to stcclhead and salmon is done by hair
seal rather than scalions which arc not given as much pro
tection. Tho hair seal is found far upstream, but usually not
beyond tidewater.

Swede's Saga:
Almost Joins
Buchan's Club
CORVALLIS OB Swede
Halbrook, the 7-foot, 3-inch
basketball center, rejected an
offer to go to an A.A.U. team
Thursday, but still did not
rejoin the Oregon State team.
He said he had decided to
remain at Oregon State, but
it appeared almost certain
that be would not play in the
crucial series against Oregon
for the Coast Conference
Northern Division lead this
weekend.
A Seattle A.A.U. team made
plane reservations for Hal
brook to go to Seattle to talk
over the possibility of join
ing the team there.
Just before the time to de
part, Halbrook appeared at
the basketball court and talk
ed privately with Gill.
Gill said later that Hal
brook had decided to remain
in school, but did not ask for
reinstatement on the team.
Gill said Halbrook could not
come back until he asks for
reinstatement and gives as
surance that be will meet the
expected standards. -
For his part Halbrook said
he had attended classes
Thursday, as he did Wednes
day. About rejoining the
team, he said only, "That's
entirely up to Mr. Gill."
The Seattle A.A.U. team
was identified as the Buchan
Bakers.
Frank Fidler, the Baker
coach, said before Halbrook
decided to stay on the cam
pus, "We certainly want him
if he plans to leave school,
but we have no intention of
trying to induce him to leave
Oregon State if ho wants to
continue his education."

Scoring List
NEW YORK Or-Major college
basketball had a new scoring
leader this week, Darrell Floyd of
Furman, the school that produced
the No. 1 point getter last season.
Floyd, a junior who took over
the high scoring duties after
Frank Selvy graduated, is collect
ing points at an average of 35.1
per game. A week ago Ohio
State's Robin Freeman led with
a 35.1 average, but he slipped
this week to 34.9, the NCAA Ser
vice Bureau reported Friday, The
figures are through games of Jan.
15.
Freeman had held the No. 1
spot since the start of the season,
but Floyd began closing in two
weeks ago. He has scored 228
points in his last six games, an
average of 38 per contest. Last
week in three games Floyd scor
ed 109 points while Freeman had
33 in one game.
Floyd has helped make Furman
the nation's No. 1 offensive team,
with an average of 98.3 points a
game. A year ago Furman ended
the season with a record 91.7 a
game.
In third place with a 32.0 aver
age is Virginia's Buzz Wilkinson,
who leads all scorers with 512
points in 16 games.

round of 29-3564 over the flat,
windy Mission Valley Country
Club course. Par Is 36-3672.
The journey toward the S2.400
top- money remained hazardous,
however, for the 34-year-oM
Houston professional, who banged
out seven straight birdies from
the opening green on Thursday,
One shot back was a stranger
to headlines, Paul McGuire of
Wichita, Kan. This 26-year-old
pro could be tough, and his score -4
of. 31-3465 was remarkable in
view of his comparative inexpe
rience in tournament play.
Four strokes back of Bolt were
Art Wall, Doug Ford, Bud Hoi
scher, Shelley Mayfield and Hen
ry Williams.
The pre - tournament choice.
Gene Littler, had a 36-33 69. He-
was grouped with eight others,'
notably National Open king Ed
Furgol, Johnny Palmer and Can-!
ada's Stan Leonard.
