Ti Oakland Acorns Probably Will Be in Pennant Fight By HAL WOOD JnlM IHa avorU Writer) : If old father time doesnt catch up with them, the Oak land Acorns probably will be , In the thick of the Pacific Coast Leas no pennant race acaln. . President C. L, (Brick) Laws has again lined up a lot of good talent for his new manager, Augie Galan. At least It looks good this spring. How it will be after five months of dally piay remains to be seen. The average age of the out field is about 33 years include lng veteran Sam Chapman, 37; Bill Howard, 32; and Pete ' Milne, 28. The infield average, exclusive of first base, is just about the same; Eddie Lake. 38, at shortstop; Spider Jor- gensen, 33, at third; and Hank Schenz, 32, at second. The first baseman probably will be "-. rookie Jim Marshall, 21, con sidered one of the bright young Fish Saved by Screen at Dam On Sandy River Initial tests to determine the efficiency of mechanical fish screens installed at Portland General. Electric company's Marmot dam on the Sandy river have already demonstrat ed a large saving of steelhead cutthroat trout, silver salmon, and Chinook salmon. Game commission Fishery Agent Ralph Pirtle reports the young fish migrating down stream are being by-passed safely into the Sandy river at the rate of several hundred a week. The fish screens set in a power diversion canal lead ing to Roslyn lake. Formerly scape from the artificial lake for fish was through the hy droelectric turbines of the Bull Run power plant . The Marmot dam fish screen installed by Portland General Electric company is the first of its kind employed in fish pro tection. It Is a self-cleaning screen and consists of an end less link belt with attached screen panels which are easily replaced. Port holes at the sides of the screen lead fish back to the river. '. This type screen is being considered for installation on the Clackamas and Rogue river dams to protect fish life. Perplexed anglers who last year reported to the game com mission - that their steelhead fishing in Roslyn lake had van ished provided the first ink ling . of the Marmot dam screen's value.' Before instal lation of the screen in -1951 many adult steelhead were di verted . into the lake. Peak numbers of young salmon and steelhead are expected to en and May. , , Fishery Agent ' Pirtle who lives at Marmot dam installed a trap this month to measure the steelhead run passing up stream. In the first three days of operation 231 adult steel ter the screen by-pass in April head were freed from the trap. prospects in the PCX this wa son. . Last year Marshall clonted a very respectable .t9 for Nashville of the Class AA Southern Association. The pitchers, all talented, also may have bit , of age trouble. The stars of the staff are Bill Ayers, 34; Milo Can dini, 38; Hal Gregg, 32; Al Gettel, 38; John Van Cuyk, 31; and George Bamburger, 28. This six-some last year won 83 games and lost 45 for the Oaks and, if they do as well this year, then count the Gal an crew right into the thick of the pennant hustle. Con Dempsey, 30, one-time pride of the San Francisco Seals mound staff, also has been signed by the Oaks and may be of some assistance. - John (Piper) Davis, utility star, is the , only one on the lab who has batted In the .300 clam last year hitting at a .306 clip while playing in 122 games. ' Chapman, a long-time . big league star, wasn't exactly a ball of fire with .263 average, 16 homers and only 55 rons-batted-ln. But he Isn't expected to im prove on that this year. . Some of the big punch badly needed may come from the young Marshall, who bats and throws left handed. With that close right-field fence, he may prove one of the finest rookies of the year. No Swiping of Athletes in . SW Conference Dallas, Tex. UP) There'll be the usual big rush for the high school football stars.- The col lege scouts will do the family churning, help the lady of the house with the washing and tell the old man what a great fellow he is to send his boy to Baylor, Texas or whatever the school may be.- But there'll be no "swiping" of the athletes. A boy won't agree to do to a certain school then wind up at another come fall. The "contract" plan will be inaugurated April 15 in the Southwest Conference. When a high school graduate signs a "letter of intent" Joined by his parents he will have to go to that college and no other in the conference if he expect to get an athletic scholarship. It's limited, too. The period for signing up the boys will be from April 15 until college op ens In the fall. i ' .. Only 22 freshmen, three jun ior college graduates who are immediately eligible for the varsity and three transfers from junior or senior colleges who must wait a year before becoming eligible for the var sity may be signed by any con ference member..
