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.

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.

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

his surprise at finding that the
buck deer have been able to hold
their own despite provisions of the
law which give the does much more
protection.
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."
