rector Albert M. Day of the fish

gress today to double the num
ber of game law enforcement
agents.
Game law enforcement with
the present 71 agents, he said,
is "woefully inadequate."
Illegal hunting killed one
third of the game birds taken
last year, he said. He estimated
that legal hunters took 17,

"roughly" 8,000,000. Another
8,000,000 were crippled and
lost, he guessed.
Day testifed before a senate

He said there is a total supply
of about 55,000,000 game birds
Dow in wintering grounds.
If illegal bunting could be
eliminated, the brief four

the chief food of deer in this

Holy Cross attracted 56 first

Competition for Salem
Since Salem was tossed into

old Hauk's cagers have not experienced too much difficultv in
staking out a place in the state
ferent this year, although the
to grab first place in the tournament that opens February S7
and extends, at intervals, through March 10. Mt, Angel and
Sacred Heart are expected to provide the most serious competi
tion to Salem's aspirations. Mt. Angel is well on its way to
take top honors in the Willamette Valley league, while the
Sacred Heart Cardinals have suffered but a single setback in
Marion-Polk circles. The tourney will be a double elimination
affair, which means that those teams that are beaten early in
the series have a tough row to hoe in working their way back
to the top.
Gil son Real Contender
When a high school kid wants to take part in athletic
to the extent he is willing to take off 40 or 50 pounds in
weight and keep It off, he should be given due credit.
Such is the case of Layton Gllson, member of Coach Harold
Hauk's Salem high quint. Layton is one of those unfor
tunate individuals who puts on weight easily and has to
work hard to reduce the poundage. By pushing back
from the table before hunger pangs have been completely
satisfied he has kept himself in physical trim and his out
standing; work on the floor has been the reward. Com
petition in such a strenuous game as basketball is bound to
bring about a man-sized appetite and a lot of willpower
and self-control is needed to keep from putting back mora
pounds than have been sweated off In prancing up and
down the maple boards.
State League to Operate
A six club State baseball league will operate during 1950 if
tentative plans are carried out. Silverton, Sweet Home, Al
bany, Corvallis, Salem and Eugene have been named as the
outfits to break away from the barrier in the spring. Bend if
eliminated under the reorganization because of the travel dis
tance involved. It is presumed Salem's home games will b
scheduled to be played when the Senators are on the road, al
though nothing definite will be known until league represen
tatives get together at Albany some time within the next few
weeks.
Portland Bows Out
How much can a university or college Invest in any given
athletic venture without encroaching upon its scholastic
program? Apparently the University of Portland haa
reached the figure and has decided to sidetrack this par- :
ticular activity for the time being. Goniaga made a similar
determination a few years ago and so far as this writer -knows,
there is no immediate intention of reviving the
pigskin sport. If the truth were known, we bave a feel
ing that other schools would like to follow the example
set by Portland. They may follow suit. The elty of
Portland has been none too generous in its support of
Pilot athletics even though the latter have brought in some
of the better clubs of the Pacifio coast. The smaller schools
are hard pressed in making a decision as to whether to be
content to hold down competition to outfits of their own
siie or try to broaden it out in the hope of attracting
greater financial returns. The latter means the building
of larger squads of the better type of men, which mean .
direct competition with the Paclfie Coast conference institutions.
Players Out on a Limb
It can't be avoided when a
has made, but someone usually gets hurt In this instance
the Pilots can either remain . in school and complete their
scholastic requirements, or transfer elsewhere and remain out
of competition for a year. Since young folk go to school to
acquire an education, or presumably so, abandonment of foot
ball should result in higher scholastic achievements for the ex-
gridders. Nevertheless, many a
lege education because of his athletic ability and it is this fel
low who gets hurt when a sport is dropped on short notice.
