Salem, Oregon, Friday,
MIGHT TRY ASKING THE FISH
Just i short half-hour after this column is written, the game
commish meets in Portland to set the final angling regulations
for the year 1954. We feel certain that a great many individuals
and representatives of different groups will be at the hearing to
protest the proposed late opening of coast streams. Consensus of
opinion seems to favor a coast opening two weeks earlier than
the proposed May 1 opening. We think there is a better than even
chance the commission will accede to the demands of the angles.
If not, you can bet the criticism heaped on the commission will
be hot and heavy. Oh, the joys of being a public servant!
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DUCKS
Wednesday evening, Chet Keebe of the Game Commission, and
Major Tobin, IWLA representative to Ducks Unlimited, took part
in a discussion of the late lamented duck season. Being honest
men, neither could give a pat answer for the lousy western Oregon
ouck season.
They did say, however, that weather was probably the big
gest factor. They pointed out that the weather was mild, and
during warm weather, ducks eat much less than during cold
weather. An abundance of food was available all along the
way south, and most likely the birds just kept on going, with
very few stop-overs in the Willamette valley. There has been
no evidence yet to indicate that the migration of birds was any
smaller than the year before.
GUNNERS TURNED LOOSE IN CALIFORNIA
A surprise to many was the fact that in California's Imperial
Valley an extended wide-open season has been granted that will
last into March. Acceding to the demands of bard-pressed lettuce
growers, whose crops were being damaged, the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service is allowing hunters in that country to shoot day
and night, and kill all the birds they can. Lots of gunners will
wonder why, if this was necessary, a larger limit and an extended
season might not have been granted to Washington and Oregon,
so that some of these ducks could have been cropped before they
reached California. Says Major Tobin, "I can show you a great
many Oregon farmers whose crops were hurt by the ducks and
some of those farmers are pressing damage claims against the
Game Commission. But you didn't hear any talking about a 'round
the clock, no-limit shoot on their behalf. California is a .powerful
state, and political pressure even extends to include duck shooting."
RE-ZONING OF OREGON FLYWAYS
Apparently, as we predicted some time ago, next year will
see a re-zoning of eastern and western Oregon flyways. This
' should be a step in the right direction. 'With a little aggressive
ness, tLc game commission should be able in the future to do
a bit more on behalf of the hunters of Oregon. While the V. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service is the boss when it comes to final '
flyway regulations, the various states in the flywiy can exert
considerable influence. Right now the state that seems to call
it shots without fail is California.
FORECAST: NO FISH
With this rain, we're not even going to place our usual Friday
morning phone calls to the coast. However, Tony Buisman of the
Riverside Boathouse on the Silctz dropped by and remarked that
hardy anglers are catching fish in the surf along the coast, perch
especially. Must be something to stand on the beach with the wind
howling and the rain pelting, tossing bait into a roaring surf. We'll
take Tony's word for it, and leave the experience to more rugged
folk!
If you're the rugged type, though, yoj might not only take
your surf rod but also your shotgun and goose silhouettes.
Brant season continues to Feb. 10, and quite a few birds are
to be found, if you know how to hunt 'em. You have to find
a good spot in a bay, preferably on a mud flat, and set out
the decoys so they are in a few inches of water. The tide
must be right if it's going out fast, you'll be continually on
the move re-setting your decoys. By the way just because
brant are coast birds, don't think they taste fishy they are
strict vegetarians.
49 of 734 Break Golf Par
In San Diego Open Tourney
RANCHO SANTA FE, CaliMl
The wreckage that was par dec
orated the Rancho golf course Fri
day as upward of 130 golfers
headed into the second round of
the $15,000 San Diego Open Tour
nament. An astounding number of 49
players out of 134 starters broke
par 72 in the first round, and tour
nament officials sought to tighten
up the course.
Leading the procession into Fri
day's 18 holes was 27-year-old Bill
Ogden of Chicago, whose 33-3366
looked none too secure in the face
of the par crackers just behind.
The Rancho course measures al
most 6.800 yards and has a par of
36-3672.
One stroke back of Ogden. a for
mer Sacramento, Calif., amateur
star until he turned pro four
years ago, were three players.
They were U.S. Amateur cham
pion Gene Little of San Diego and
pros Earl Stewart Jr., Dallas, and
Bob Harris, San Jose, Caoif.
There were six players tied at
(W, headed by Tommy Bolt of
Maplewood. N.J. who won the San
DicRo event last year.
The 69 bracket found seven men,
headed bv E. J. Dutch Harrison,

Northern Division basketball
teams renew interstate rivalries
this weekend with a set of games
expected to unravel a knot at the
top of the standings and give one
of the contenders a bulge that may
lead to the championship.
Idaho. and Oregon State hook up
in a pair of games at Moscow,
Idaho, Friday night and Saturday
night. At the same time, Oregon
win De nost to Washington s Husk
ies at Eugene.
uregon state and Oregon are
tied at the top of the league, en
tering the crucial stand, with three
wins and a loss apiece, but Idaho
is only half a game behind and is
rated on a par with the Staters,
c Idaho and Oregon State solit in
their last meeting at Corvallis at
the start of the season. And Ore
gon, facing the underdog Huskies
wno nave won only one of 12
games this year, will behoping
for a repeat in the Vandal-Beaver
collision at Moscow.
Cellar-dwelling Washington State
Idaho and Oregon State snlit in
their last meeting at Corvallis at
me start of the season. And Ore
gon, facing the underdog Huskies
who have won only one of 12
games this year, will be hoping
for a repeat in the Vandal-Beaver
collision at Moscow.
Cellar-dwelling Washington State
will be out of action this week
end. The Cougars' next game is
with Idaho Jan. 29.
The Beavers, who left by plane
Thursday afternoon, were to lim
ber up on the Vandal court Thurs
day night The clamor for tick
ets at Moscow far exceeded the
supply for the series.
Coach Slats Gill would not re
veal his starting lineup at the
time of his final practice Wednes
day, leaving it open whether he
would assign Swede Halbrook,
Ted Romanoff or Tony Vlastclica
to guard Idaho's tall center,
Dwight Morrison. Morrison scored
22 points off Halbrook in Idaho's
win, while Romanoff held him to
nine in OSC's comeback the next
night.
Ready for Parsons
The fact that Washington has
won only one game in 12 starts
hasn't thrown Coach Bill Borcher
off guard at Oregon. He is pre
paring a "homecoming" for the
Huskies' ace, Dean Parsons, a
F'igene high school product Par
sons, 6-foot-7 and 225 pounds, is
a two-year letterman at Seattle
and is a thorough rebounder.
For Oregon, Jerry Ross, a
sophomore forward, has returned
and may start opposite Ed Hal-
berg as forward. Halberg has a
.610 shooting average from the
field and .864 from the free throw
line.
The preliminary at Oregon will
match the Oregon frosh and the
OSC Rooks at 5:45 tomgnt, and
Saturday against the Philcos of
Portland. The 1919 Oregon quin
tet which won the Coast confer
ence title will have a reunion and
it will be Dad's Day on the cam

Strokes Ahead
In Tampa Open
TAMPA, Fla. Wt Betsy Rawls,
who finished fast to post the day's
best nine - hole score yesterday,
held a two-stroke lead going into
the second day of the 72-holc
Tampa Women's Open Golf Tour
nament today.
The Spartanburg, S. C, pro
came through with 35, three under
par, on the home nine to Rive her
a par 75 for the tricky, 6,093-yard
Palma Ceia course.
Bunched behind her were Babe
Zaharias of Tampa, who has won
the tournament twice; Polly Riley,
another former winner, from Fort
Worth, Tex., and Jackie Pung,
Honolulu.
Mrs. Zaharias and Miss Riley,
the top amateur, played along
steadily, the former hitting 38-39
and the latter 39-38.
Mrs. I'ung had a good round
going out. par 37, and was doing
well on the way back until she

Louise Suggs, the little Georgian
who is still the favorite to make
this her third Tampa Open victory
in a row, also had troubles on the
bark nine.
After a brilliant first nine 36,
everything went wrong and she
trudged home with 43 and a total
of 79. That put her in a tie for
ninth with Betty Dodd of Tampa.
The $ino.nno guarantee to the
winner of the 1954 Florida Derby
at Gulfstream Park is nearly as
much as was distributed during
the entire first meeting of 20 days
