Boston, Oct 11 VP) Gene Bearden, a carefree rookie with Ice

Sl4it and Scratches
BY FRED ZIMMERMAN, Copitol Journol SporH Editor
Whether they make the trip by train, bus or plane the result
always seems the same College
when mey tackle Willamette university. But there's no denying
that Clem Parbcrry's 1948 squad of Coyotes is one of the better
outfits produced at the Caldwell Institution. Their performance
last week as they lost 27 to 13 was particularly Impressive when
one takes into consideration the total enrollment of 500 students.
It was a bitter dose for the Idahoans to swallow for their three
auccesslve wins against Whitworth college Southern Idaho Col
lege of Education and Linfleld had built up hopes that this was
their year. It wasn't to be but the Coyotes went back to Idaho
with the knowledge that they gave the Bearcats what may well
b their toughest contest of the season.
Attendance has been none to sharp at Sweetland field
this year, hut we believe that the crowds will grow if Coach
Jerry Lillle's squad is confronted with more competition like
that provided by Idaho. Naturally, msot loyal fans want the
home town team to win, but, they like to see a real contest
and not a walkaway. Team action will grow keener through
meeting stiff opposition and doubtless the College ot Puget
Sound Loggers will provide more of the same when they
come here for a homecoming program the afternoon of Oc
tober 23.
Distribution of an available 1500 tickets among at least 4500
University of Oregon students for the Webfoot-Beaver ball game
In Corvallis Nov. 20 is problem that will probably be settled
through the medium of a lottery. A recent poll conducted by the
Oregon campus daily indicated BO percent of those Interviewed
thought a lottery the fairest way of placing the highly prized
ducats. Members of the senior class thought distribution on a
enlorlty basis would be the proper method but such i suggestion
outraged the under classmen. A stadium seating 50,000 or so
would probably be filled for the Oregon-OSC tilt, but it's not
available and probably will not be for many years to eome.
There's nothing mysterious concerning the decreasing bag
limit for trout it's merely a question of supply and demand.
Rapid growth of population, demands ot Industry upon the
streams once seldom used except for fishing purposes and
the pollution of the streams, mean less fish to be spread
among more people. The bag limit in 1901 was 125 fish per
(lay and many fishermen got their "pound of flesh" regard
less of the fact that a high percentage of the catch rotted.
By 1913 the bag limit had been dropped to 75 and In 1917
it was cut to 50. It was down to 30 in 1921, to 20 in 1935, 15
in 1940 and then down to 10 where it stands today. Paralcll
ing the downward trend In the number of trout that can le
gally be caught Is the upward movement In the sale of hunt
ing and angling licenses.
In 1912 when the gam commission established the policy ot
Issuing licenses, 83,162 fish and game certificates were sold for
a total ot $85,770. Of the total 152 were non-resident hunting
and 310 non-angling licenses. By 1947 the all-time high mark of
872,814 in hunting and fishing licenses was established. This year
the distribution is expected to be slightly higher. There should
be little wonder then, that the legal catch of trout is 10 and
that only two pheasant cocks may be killed in one day or not
more than four during the greatly restricted pheasant season,

afield but in the final analysis,
it was the failure of the Boston
hitters in the first four games
that gave the championship to
the Indians.
Larry Doby, fleet Negro out
fielder, led the new champs at
bat with a .318 average. He
had to yield series honors to the
Braves' Earl Torgeson with his
.389 mark. The only other reg
ulars to make the .300 class were
Bob Elliott of the Braves, .333
and Eddie Robinson of the In
dians .300.
In years to come, probably the
most important things that this
series will be remembered for
are the money and huge attend

attracted 86,288, the largest
throng ever to see a ball game.

A final check of the cash box

Bostonn, Oct. 12 VP) Marvin
Rickert, the Boston Brave who

field during the World Series
without any financial arrange

share in the players receipts.
Baseball Commissioner Al
bert B. Chandler said that "jus
tice should be done" in Rick-
ert's case. He said he will have
to act unless the players solve
the problem by dividing their
shares of the players cash,
Rickert, who was home in Ta
coma, Wash., fishing when the
Braves called hirii up, equalled
the World Series putout record
for outfielders yesterday. His
five putouts one of them the

Hanging from a tree in the yard
at the Arnold home, the bear
weighed an even 600 pounds,
dressed.
Arnold with his two sons, R.
B. and Howard, was hunting
for deer Just a few miles west
of Dallas near the Pope and
Talbot logging road. He was
alerted when he noticed a rus
tling in a heavy thicket ahead
of him.
"Just then this great big b'ar
r'ared up in front of me,
growled and headed for me,"
said, the ex-Tennessean later.
When two shots found their
marks in the bear's side, but
he still kept coming, the hunter
had a few hair-raising seconds.
After five shots had been fired
the big animal dropped in at
tempting to clear a log.
Arnold's predicament in fac
ing the angered animal was
made more acute because of
the fact that an old ailment
prevented him from running.
The bear got within 20 feet of
him at one time.
The hunter admits that he
was shouting for his two sons
through the proceedings, but
when they arrived the big bear
was dead. Unable to lift the
animal, they dressed It on the
spot, then carried him on a pole
sling to the road less than a
mile away by going a few steps,
then setting down the burden.
Both of the younger men's
shoulders are severely bruised
where the pole bore down.
A bear reported to be 750
pounds before it was dressed
was killed near the same spot
about two years ago.
In World War I 1,791,000
American soldiers disembarked
at Brest.
Bears Open PCC Bid with OSC
San Francisco, Oct. 11 (IP)
Championship contender and
prime west coast favorite at this
time, California's powerful
football club makes its opening
bid for the conference title this
week-end. Lynn Waldorf's
Bears will take on the Oregon
State Beavers, first of six league
opponents to come in a row.
The Bears necessarily will
lino up on their home field at
Berkeley as the popular choices.
They have bowled over Santa
Clara, Navy, St. Mary's and
Wisconsin in succession, all non
conference. To some 66,000 fans last
week, California's 40-14 win
over Wisconsin was the convinc
es The fact the visiting team
was only a second division rep
resentative of Big Nine foot
ball was conceded. California,
however, led 40-0 late in the
last period and the Badgers
scored only when nearly the
last of the local reserves were
in the contest.
Oregon State most always
provides rough, hard hitting op
position. It smacked under
manned University of Portland,
32-6, last week after a 14-14
tie with Washington the Satur
day before. Southern Califor
nia conked Oregon State 21-6,
earlier in the season.
There is no mutual opposi
tion with which to compare
California and OSC but off tha
s e a s o n's performances, the
Bears would appear to be hold
ing the winning tickets.
University of Oregon, also a
pre-season Rose Bowl hopeful,
stakes its chances in a game
with Southern California, at
Portland. Two conference vic
tories already have been racked
up by Oregon, although last
week's 15-8 decision over Idaho
was closer than expected. Ida
ho has yet to break into the
win column, with three league
losses and one outside.
