BEND BULLETIN SPORTS GENERAL NEWS CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 34th Year TWO SECTIONS BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY. OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1950 No. 73 T Stevens-Chute Basketball Team Has Perfect Record For Season; College Beaten By Dick Daoust Stevens-Chute post American Legion wound up the 1950 Independent city league basketball program with a perfect record of seven victories and no defeats following an 58-46 win over Community College in the league championship bat tle played on the high school gymnasium floor last night. In a contest held previous to the title game. Heath's Ice Cream established themselves a .500 per cent league record by steal ing a game from winless Ev- ans Fly in the final two min utes of play to win 30-27, The Heath's-Evans' tussle be,?an on an even keel with a first quarter knot of 5-all. Ev- nns riy movea out in iront 11U luive luuiiuaim wmi a uatiiuiic figure of 13-10. This 3-point lead was increased to 4 with the third period total or Lead Changes Hands Midway in the fourth frame, Tom Niebergall canned a pivot shot to tie the ball game at 24-all. Gene Holliday then pushed one through the hoop to give Heath's a 2-point lead, but Evans' came back on a gift shot and a field goal to go out in front again. It proved to be short lived as Nie bergall and Ron Abbott each pot ted field goals to edge the Evans' Flym'en, 30-27. High man for the game was forward Tom Niebergall with a final toal of 11 points. Heath's Don Gardner and Evans' La Verne Fagg each got 8 points to vie for second honors. In the first period of the College-Legion championship tilt, the collegians displayed strength, and had the vets pretty well in check, leading them 16-10 at the quarter mark. The Legion quickly took over in the second stanza, and racked up a total of 20 points compared to 3 points for the Col lege in posting a 30-19 halftime score. Second Period Fateful Scoring in the second half was almost matched shot for shot, as the college boys settled down and only slipped one more point with the third period sum of 43-31. Each team scored 15 points in the final quarter, making the final reading 58-46. This signifies that the affair would have been very close if the College team had not blown TXtr- in --the , .:f atef ul second period. Delano "Slick" Fox was "held to 27 points to lead in individual scoring, but teammate Kussell Kiel challenged with his 20 point total. Their combined total would have been sufficient enough to set the college boys down. Final Independent league stand' ings: Team W. L.

Sporta Writer) Bears to Meet Redmond for District Title New York, March 2 Ul'i The 1C major league teams settled clown today to serious spring training which means that by nightfall there will be at least 16 new Walt er Johnsons, Ty Cobbs, Joe Di maggios and Bill Dickeys. This is what is known as turn stile oil. The frost-bitten fans at home need a shot in the arm to tanta lize them with the fact that their heroes might be able to finish better than a fast-fadinc ninth in an eight-team league. the rookie angle is always sure pop. So the drum beaters start grinding out their praise over some anemic lad who needs a seeing eye dog after all those night games in the bushes and hopes, at best, to become a re serve at Newark or Kansas City. The next thing you know he is characterized as an outsized Tex an with more courage than an armless lion tamer. Outfielders Can't Miss If he's an outfielder he can't miss being faster than the 20th Century Limited back in the days when they had coal. The rookie infield find always has the greatest hands since Paderewski and if he's a pitcher he "finally has controlled the wildness which kept him from greatness." There's usually a flaw in these spring daffodils. The outfielder cart run like a thief but he can't stop this side of Rochester. The infielder with the marvelous mitts might as well be Venus De Milo because he couldn't break a vase by toss ing It on the floor. And the pitch ers nine times out of seven can't find the plate with radar. . Back the Bushes . . This phase of greasing Gus Fan for opening day usually lasts un til fellows like 42-year-old Luke Appling and 39-year-old Al Bent on get the kinks kicked out of their aching joints. By then the rookie marvels have had their cup of coffee, as these spring vis its are known in the trade, and are back riding the buses. The amazing part is how often in a big business like baseball the brass hats can put the finger on the wrong button. The Brooklyn Dodgers, for instance, pride them selves that they know more about their dozen annual geniuses than Einstein knows about long divis ion. , Yet last spring they handed walking papers to a fellow named Don Newcombe and it took them until May to discover they had a major leaguer in Montreal, a beautiful city but one which at last reports was more than mere miles away from the big top. Pictured above are coach Roger Wiley and the Benfl Lava Bears who Friday and Saturday will vie with the Redmond Panthers for district championship honors. Winner of the title will represent cen tral Oregon in the state tournament playoff. The Baars have won two gamps played previously this season with the Panthers. In the foreground are Gerold Wood and Ardel Burmeister, team managers. Players making up the center row, left to right, are: John Mihelcich, Al Christensen, Bob Hawes, Jack Robison, Dick Laursen and Jim Wade.

This will be the first time that Oregon's elk herds have been tal lied from the air. The game agents feel that the aerial elk survey will work, though, for during February and March the big animals are out on the open grass ranges away from trees and shelter. In the past it has been difficult for ground observers to check the elk winter ranges. A total of 58 flying hours has been scheduled lor the elk .survey which will cover all the "major eastern Oregon elk ranges. The fleet antelope on the high open deserts of south central Ore gon provide an' ideal situation for aerial observation. The search for Oregon's wide ranging antelope herds will be even more extensive this year, and the game agents are covering Deschutes, Crook, Klamath, Harney, Lake, and Mal heur counties in light, single en gine airplanes. The antelope are spotted at an altitude of about 500 feet, and the plane then fol lows the speeding animals at 50 to 100 yards elevation to check on the number of bucks, does, and young in each herd. Data obtained from the big game aerial survey will supple ment ground observations made later in the year.
