OREGON PAGE ELEVEN STATE BOXING BOARD ASKS STATE-WIDE MEETING Willamette Team Swamps Idaho Quint, Score 74 -34 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 CALLS MEETING TO TALK OVER BETTER SPORT Expressing the belief that a "statewide organization at boxing end wrestling commissions would in still a greater confidence in the minds of the followers of these sports as well as promote a greater degree of competition in partici pants" members of the Salem boxing and wrestling commission have sent communication to similar com missions In various cities and towns of the state asking that representa tives of these organisations assemble In Salem to discuss some form of state-wide cooperation. Salem commissioners take the at titude that a strong state-wide or ganization could do a lot to streng then the game In securing compe tent referees, preventing a partici pant from doing a "Phil Scott," a run out or failure to appear for a match in proper physictal condition. The text of a resolution recently adopted by the local commission and seat to other organizations souows: "Whereas, it being our opinion that a state-wide organisation of boxing and wrestling commissions would instill a greater confidence in the minds of the followers of these sports as well as promote a greater degree of competition In partici pants, and i "Whereas, it is our belief, that a code of ethics should be promulgat ed as a basis for future legislation and for the regulation of the game, "Now, therelore, be It resolved by the Salem Boxing and Wrestling commission that all chairmen of boxing and wrestling commissions in the state of Oregon, or their duly appointed representative, with power to act, be urged to assemble at the most convenient place at a future date, at the convenience of the greatest number possible, to discuss and take such action toward organ ization as may be practical." The resolution is signed by Harry Levy, H. H. Oliver, W. Carleton Smith, O. S. Olson and Watson Townsend. Reaction toward the resolution has been entirely favorable, according to one member of the commission, and it is believed the matter can be brought to a successful conclusion.

BEARCATS SHOW IMPROVED FORM ADAMS IS HOT Setting a pace that at times seem ingly had their opponents bewil dered, the Willamette hoop team Thursday eveninng took the first of the two game series from College or Idaho, 14 to S4. The second contest will be played Friday evening. The Bearcats started their scoring rampage right from the opening whistle, with Dwight Adams tossing in three shots within lest than a minute. This stellar Willamette per former oonitnued to elude his guards to a great extent throughout and everytime the spectators would hear D wight's "hey" they knew two more points were to be chalked up for the elusive Bearcats, . The game was not all one-sided. for the Coyotes several times out guessed Willamette's defense to get Mikle and Rutledge through lor some pretty shots. Willamette left the floor at the intermission leading It to IT. Ap parently their rest tailed to cool them off for they immediately col lected IT points In the meantime shutting Idaho out. The Bearcats' drive, while not nea'rly as spasmodic as against Pur get Sound, however, showed a ten dency to lag at times. But T4 points should be plenty for the most rabid partisan especially when it Is most evident that more could be secured If necessary. Coach Keene gave his entire squad chance to get into the game. Considerable gayety was added to the afiair when Hoot Gibson. Bear cat guard, inadvertently batted the ball into the Coyote basket for two points. Summary: Deer Plentiful, But Cougar Few; McMahan Tells of Recent Trip Seeking definite and first hand information about what cougar do in the way of killing deer, L. H. McMahan, circuit court judge and student of nature, recently made a trip into the Murderer's Creek country, about 50 miles from Burns. He tells an in teresting story of seeing at least 40a deer during his trips through the snows of that wild country ana oi COL. OF IDAHO Fa FT PF O'Conner, F 3 0 Mikle.

Judge McMahan, although no cougar were found, expressed the opinion that the animal does far less damage to the deer than game wardens and hunters hi general give it credit for, "Cougar were reported In the Murderer's Creek country, 50 miles from Burns," the Judge stated in unfolding his story. "I went there not to kiU cougar but to get definite information about what cougar oo in the way of killing deer. The in tention was to not disturb cougar if any were found, but to follow their tracks on the snow and ob serve what they do. We were joined near Canyon City by Dr. L. E. Hlb bard, Irving Haseltine, game war dent and three old time cowboy friends, with a big sled and six horses. "A cougar is the male panther." continued the Judge in digressing for a moment. "In California the pioneers called him "mountain Hon' and our Indians called htm 'lyas pus pus. A female was always called 'panther, while the Canadian lynx was called 'catamount. "Within the last few yean it has been claimed that cougar will on an average kill a hundred deer each year. Recently one of the game commissioners has changed this es timate to from 40 to bo a year. I personally know that a cougar can not catch a deer in a foot race and that when be makes a kill, if not disturbed, he always drags or car ries It some distance and covers It with leaves, fern and sticks, snow or whatever is handy. That he does kill deer I know, but how many Is another question. The pioneers nev er accredited him of killing many deer, but they all agreed that he kilts many domestic animals, pec tally horses and colts. Personal ly, I am of the opinion that he kills but few deer, outside of those that have been crippled or wounded. On the other hand. Umber wolves and the prairie wolf, ao common in early days, simply slaughter deer by running them down, a thing the cougar unaoie to oo. There were no cougar In that country. Two had been there a week ten days before we arrived, but they simply circled around left. This. I think, was because there were no rabbits there. "We saw and listed over 400 deer and found a back for each atx does. This astonished all of us.- for we had all assumed that so many bucks had been killed there were not enough left. A bunk's harem Is oamooted of tram II to 30 does, so there ta apparently a surplus of bucks. All buck! with bona were eourrUd and wt Beted half of last yean fawns as bucks, ubwuallirn one many yean having eeurtiuei ill of us that deer produce about ftuur eVe and half auefc. The cVer wen ao tanas that they would stand and watch us at a distance of from 100 to 200 yardds. Murderer's Creek country is a eame refuge. "At Burns I talked with cmei Lewie, a Piute, who estimated his atre to be about 100 yean. He is totally blind, but his mind Is en tirely clear and he Is about the finest si wash I have ever seen. He is a chief and looks the part. Lewie was a scout In the Modoc war under McKay and anxiously inquired about Capt. O. O. Applegate and Col. Bill Thompson. The Plutes do not speak Chinook Jargon, but Lewie learned it from the Warm Spring Indians, who for yean held him prisoner. Once in a while he would ring In a rime word ana make me guess its meaning. Lewie, long ago told HUjoard and others that his grandfather said there were "hiyu" buffalo in eastern Oregon, but one year many took sick and died and the otben left never to return. Nobody be lieved the story, but Harney lake went dry last year and two buffalo skulls were found In It. Then the logging road was graded and four feet under ground they found the skull and bones of another buffalo. Lewie told me that his father told him that when a boy two white men, the first ever seen by the Pi' utes came with two pack horses; that they had no saddle horses and only horse meat to eat but that they gave the Indians tobacco and were not disturbed. It Is probable that one of these was Lewie, the other some companion.'' ' Burns is booming, the Judge states, "on account of its saw mill. which is one of the finest in the world, but the sheep business is in a bad way. Wool Is down and sheep which two yean ago were selling at from 12 to 14 dollars a head are now down to from five to seven dollars each."

By quarters the scores were, lis: TO-ia: ana 14, for the three quarters. In the fourth quarter. Bethel began fight ing hard, and when the whistle blew thev had climbed up to 26 points, against the 28 held by Dallas. Bethel seemed to have an off-night, or something of the kind, for they had many mon trvs at the basket than did Dallas, but failed to make them. In the Monmouth-Independence nine. Monmouth had a walk-away, all the way through. Score at the half was 20-4, and ended 28-10 In favor of Monmouth.

Smokey Harris, "bad boy" of the league, drew no less than seven of the total penalties. He was never on the Ice for more than three minutes at a time. Two of his pen alties were for ten minutes each. The opposing playen started rush ing each other early and In the sec ond period, after dealing out 12 penalties In the first, Ion called the contestants to center ice, where he lectured them briefly and an nounced that subsequent Infractions would be penalized by 10 minute set downs.
