SPORTSMEN WON 195J VICTORIES
On the last day of the year, it it common practice for
columnist! to review the events of the past 12 months. So
much has happened in Oregon's outdoors that there is no
room for any detailed backward glance here. But a few
things stay strongly in the mind of this reporter, such as the
bitter legislative struggle to save the Deschutes river from
being dammed, which was won by dint of much effort on the
part of conservationists. On the national legislative scene,
the cattle barons were successfully blocked in their effort
to gam extended privileges and control of the public domain,
but that fight will continue.
DUCK HUNTING WAS ALL WET
Oregon's sportsmen enjoyed a good year on field and
stream in '53, with the duck season being the one great
disappointment. Steelheading was none too good, because
of high water, but many fish were caught. Strides for
ward were taken in stopping pollution in Oregon's streams,
particularly the Willamette, though abuses still continued
in many forms.
Logging operators in 'S3 by and large exhibited the best
cooperation with game conservationists than in any other year
we recall, though the affair of the mud in Slick flock creek
caused by careless logging methods was never corrected, and
still remains a thorn in the side of coast anglers.
HUNTERS THINED OUT THE DEER
The "hunter's choice" deer season, though probably neces
sary to harvest surplus deer, caused us to knash our teeth
repeatedly. Saddest sight of the year was three fawns, no
bigger than my springer spaniels, jammed into the trunk of
a car by a "proud sportsman."
As a whole, it has been a good year for Oregon, as the
improvement in many conditions and practices indicates
Oregon is moving ahead rather than backwards. However,
hunters and anglers are on the increase, and it will re
quire the assistance of a great many citiiens to continue
to safeguard, build up and perpetuate Oregon's still won
derful outdoor resources.
For us, the season just past marks our first year as editor
or tnis column, we've had Jots of fun pounding out these 200
or so double spaced typewritten pages, and driving sports
editor A. C. (Spark Plug) Jones crazy as we race to meet the
deadline. We're especially happy that, for some odd reason,
the ladies get a kick out of the column. But, after all the
gals are sports, too they'd have to be, in order to put up
with us "big he-men (cough-cough)'.
WEEKLY FISHING REPORT
Coast streams are in good shape, and many anglers enjoy
ing the three-day New Year's holiday will take steelhead.
Daredevils, cherry bobbers, and salmon eggs will be the three
top baits.
Roads coastwards will be foggy and slick so drive care
fully. There's lots of fishing left to do don't make this trip
your last!
Best wishes for a happy year afield.

Ragni Interested
In Manager Job;
Jumped Wl Club
Wenatchee, Wash., W)
Pitcher-outfielder Jay Ragni
has expressed Interest in a
playing-manager's job for next
season, Wenatchee Chiefs of
ficials said Wednesday.
Bob Tyler, president of the
Western International League
club, said Ragni, purchased by
Wenatchee from Oakland of
the Pacific Coast League last
year, wrote from his winter
home in North Bend, Ore.
Ragni jumped the Wenat
chee ball club after three
weeks last summer to play
with the North Bend entry in
the semi - pro Southeastern
Oregon lumber ieague. He was
with Oakland in 1951 and '52.
Tyler said anyone interested
in his contract could buy it
from Wenatchee for $2,500, the
price the Chefs paid Oakland,
and Pagni's name would be
removed from baseball's in
eligible list.

Aussie Is Confident
Olympics to Remain
Melourne, (IP) Gen. Wil
liam Bridgeford, chief execu
tive officer of the 10.5H Ml.
bourne Olympics, said Thurs
day tnat ii the games were
taken from Australia now the
move might wreck the entire
world Olympic structure.
At the same time he ex
pressed confidence Melbourne
would retain the events de
them because of this coun
try's determination not to re
lax its animal quarantine laws.
Avery Bundage of Chicago,
president of the International
Olympic Committee, said in
London Wednesday that un
less these laws are relaxed to
permit the holding of eques
train competition, the site of
the games may be changed.
PILOTS DEFEAT REGIS
Denver. U.R) Portland Uni
versity last night rallied to
defeat Regis 64-59 in a bas
ketball game here. A layin by
Bob Altenhofen put Portland
ahead with four minutes left
in the game.
ders of UCLA and Clarence
Biggie Munn of Michigan State
were in agreement that their
players were in the best of phy
sical shape.
"I've never seen a team pre
pare for a game better than
UCLA did for this one," said
Sanders as he put hit players
through their final workout on
the UCLA practice field.
Munn Is Pleased
Munn was equally pleased
with the condition of his play
ers, declaring:
"Our boys are in their best
physical shape of the year.
We're ready and whatever the
outcome, condition will not be
an excuse."
The Spartans worked out to
day and climaxed their brief
limbering up drill on the turf
of Brookside Park by walking
around on the greensward of
the bowl itself. Munn had
sought permission to work in
the stadium but Tournament of
Roses officials denied him the
request, saying they wanted to
keep the grass in perfect con
dition for tomorrow's game.
Spartans Favored
Michigan State remained a
firm favorite today at six
poinst. The Spartans have
been the choice since the day it
was known that Michigan
State and UCLA would be the
Big Ten and Pacific Coast
representatives in the bowl,
but the odds have ranged from
a low of 3 'i points to a top
of seven points in the inter
vening weeks.
The gridiron experts still
maintained that the game was
a duel between Michigan
State's explosive speed and
UCLA's great defense.
The game marks UCLA's
third trip to the Rose Bowl
without a win and Michigan
State's first appearance in the
classic.

Huntington in 1917-18-20
Classics, Gustafson in 1942
By A. C. JONES
ICtpUai Journtl Sports Xditor)
It's the time of year when
two Salem residents turn back
the football clock to the days
when they tread on petals in
the Rose Bowl, the No. 1 clas
sic of every New Year.
Hollis Huntington and Lee
Gustafson represent four of the
39 games played in that color
ful series since 1902, realizing
a goal attained by only one of
10,000 college players each
season. Between them they
took part in three of the West's
20 victories and both, after
college days, eventually be
came Salem high school coach.
In Transplanted Bowl
Huntington's bowl record is
unique in several ways, while
Gustafson played in the only
transplanted one, Oregon State
vs. Duke, Jan. 1, 1942, moved
to Durham, N. C, because of
Pearl Harbor and the resulting
alert on the west coast.
Huntington is one of three
who played every minute of
three different Rose Bowl
Games, the others being
Stanford's Bobby Grayson
and Tackle Bob Reynolds,
both in 1934-35-3S. Only two
colleges besides Stanford
ever played in the bowl
three consecutive years
Southern Cal in 1944-45-46
and California in 1949-50-51.
Holding the honor of com
piling the most yardage in
Rose Bowl contests is Hunting
ton, who gained 150 net yards
by himself in 1920 against Har
vard, which as a team had only
169 in defeating Oregon, 7-6.-Nmed
Outstanding Player
"He was named outstanding
player for the 1918 Mare Island
Marine Corps Rose Bowl vic
tory over the 91st Division
team from Camp Lewis, 1917,
as a 190-pound fullback. His
coach, Hugh Bezdek, was by
coincidence hit Oregon coach
of the year before in the Rose
Bowl.
Mare Island had been chos
en because It was the coast's
best team, havln whipped Cal
ifornia twice badly, and Camp
Lewis drew the other berth
because there were no really
strong eastern representatives.
Camp Lewis included "more
name players than wo ever
thought of having,' Hunting
ton said. They wera Peck
Huntley, OSC end; Sam Cook,
Oregon tackle; Bill Snyder,
all-coast guard from Oregon;
Ken Bartlett, all-coast tackle
from Oregon, and Monteith,
Oregon halfback.
Four of the Mare Island grid
ders later became generals in
the Marine Corps, ho said.
Penn Toughest Foe
He rated the 1017 Pennsyl
vania team which Oregon de
feated 14-0 in the 1917 bowl
games at the "toughest I ever
played against." One c! Tenn't
players wat Lou Little, tac.r'e,
later Columbia coach in the
Root Bowl in 1934; Bert Bell,
quarterback who later was
National Football league com
missioner; Howard Berry, all
time Penn great all-around
athlete, and Red Miller, an end
who played without a hear
gear. Harvard, in 1920, was the
"easiest" team he ever lost to,
for the bulky easterners won
7-6 despite being out-gained
considerably. It was a non-let-terman
"playboy" named
Church, whose father founded
the Church Arm and Hammer
bicarbonate of soda company,
who beat Oregon. Church
somehow got into the game and
circled end with perfect block
ing to score. Oregon's 6 points
came on two field goals (six
were tried by the Ducks).
Huntington was in the Mar
ine Corps from the spring of
1917 to the summer of 1919
when he returned to Oregon
for the 1919 season. His first
coaching job was at Anaconda,
Mont., high school in 1920,
when his team took the state
title and won a trophy that
was "bigger than my quarter
back," Huntington smiled.
He was at Medford the 1921
22 year and came to Salem in
the fall of 1922 to remain until
1935 ex-ept for the two sea
sons of lf.28 and 1929. His Sa
lem teams are among the
finest the school has produced.
Hasn't Seen Rose Parade
He played his football at The
Dalles high school.
Oddly enough, Huntington
never has seen a Rose Bowl
parade or the new stadium
which holds .more than 100,
000. In his day from 25,000 to
40,000 attended and the "new"
stadium seating 52,000 wat
built for the 1923 game and ex
panded in later years.
Y
Gut Recalls Christmas
Gustafson recalls -the Christ

facturers of North Carolina

man getting 30 to 35 presents
