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

The average age of the out

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

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

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..
The letter of intent will be
f iled with the conference. Then
It will be hands-off of this boy
for the other members of the
league.
