THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section 2 Page I Senator Partnership Plan Sold 100 Pet, Gets Moving Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, November 27, 1958 AFIELD ' By BOB THE CALL OF THE WILD (HEN, THAT IS) For several years now our little farm pond has been the home of a mallard drake. This duck, a relative of the semi-domestic ducks that abound in Salem's mill creek, was not quite a mallard. His neck was just a bit too long, without the white ring that is customary with mal lard drakes. Undoubtedly, there was a trace of white domestic duck in his family tree. Even to, he was a handsome fellow, and we enjoyed watching - him "dapping" around the pond. His was the life of a Riley among ducks; plenty to eat, no danger of being shot at. Still, something was lacking, and often we have thought there was a wistful note to his rusiy quacking. He was lonesome. The other day we pulled into the driveway during the late after noon. There were two wild mallard hens feeding on the pond, in the happy company of our tame drake. As we drove near, the hens flew away. There was a most plaintive look to our poor drake as he watched the wild ladies flying away towards the river. Several days ago, the drake disappeared. For awhile we thought some hungry timber owl had made off with him. We realized, for the first time, that we had always glanced out on the pond, coming and going, for a sight, of the old greenhead. We missed him. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE.THE POWER OF WOMEN . Then, Just day before yesterday, we were riding horseback near . the pond. Suddenly, three ducks lifted from the pond on thrumming ' wings. Two were hens and the other was a drake, a drake lacking ( the usual white necktie ... Yesterday, not three but a dozen ducks flew away at our ap proach. While we could not identify him, we are sure our drake must have been in the flight. Finally succumbing to the desire to join his own kind, our duck has forsaken the comparative security of our pond, where we never hunt, to run the lead gauntlet along with his wild cousins. But, now and then, he brings back a gang of them to enjoy the tranquility of a spot where no hunters lie in wait. It's foolish to be sentimental about a duck, but still, we hope that he survives his hazardous escapade and eventually comes home. As anyone could tell him, it's safer being a bachelor ... HUNTER VANDALISM REPORTS MISLEADING You all recall the reports about terrific vandalism and poor sportsmanship that emanated from the central Oregon country a few weeks back, just after the general deer season. Well, informa tion is now coming to light which indicates that the reports were, to put it mildly, a bit exaggerated. ' For example: A stockmen's publication In that area Included In an Issue a special blank to be filled out by ranchers listing the. depradations of hunters. Trouble is, the blanks did not specify that the vandalism, etc., was to be reported for '56 only! Thus many ranchers listed all the troubles they had had with hunters for the last few decades! Mistakenly, this was picked up by the. newspapers' as a report of the current year's crop of dastardly deeds. Twasn't so. It also appears that some of the livestock reported killed by hunters died of natural causes, not lead poisoning. And a lot of deer htlntincr "ali-opiHec" wn, f.taA K.. ,,..;.. t.... . 0 . ,,, fc iuujiu, iiu, uy tuy aui-nurs, uui by local residents who had a grudge against their neighbors.

There's a wondrous light which shines from the eyes of the win ner when he mounls the Olympic rostrum and receives his gold medal while the bank plays his national anthem. It's a moment the victor can cherish forever. But for every winner there are dozens of losers. They're the ones to whom your heart goes out. They made the big try and they didn't have it. Sure, they had the spirit and the hope and their dreams were bright and gay until reality hit them. Like little Mary Lecla Rau of India, vivacious Margie Kyle of Ballymcna, County Antrim, or even two pretty rugged kids named Harry Smith, out of New York, and Choken Maekawa from Hawaii. Hundreds of Others There are hundreds of others who tried and shed disconsolate teirs as they lost. They come from just about every place you can name. But these four stand out as the games roll along today. Take the case of the dusky little beauty from India. Three days ago her hopes rode the mountain tops after a 4,000 mile trip from Cal cutta. She was one of the beauty queens of the Olympic Village and she visioned herself winning the 500-meter crown. But those dreams died in the brick-colored dirt of the Olympic track Saturday. Mary Leela, the Hold Your Chairs: Francis Rematched With Montana Fans of the Salem Armory brand of wrestling won't miss to night's rematch of Bull Montana and GentlenM.-. Ed Francis, for fear of missing out on the potent, explosive mixture, "if Nature has healed Francis' split scalp the past week, he may be in shape to take further pun ishment on the noggin, for that probably will be the target of Mon tana's bruising attack. Nobody ac cuses the Bull of being a wrestler, but he's always good copy. Last week he tried to knock some sense Into Francis' head but did it with a steel chair and in steid let out some blood. Then, not satisfied, he dropped Francis on his scalp just to make sure. Fans generally believe that Mon tana went beyond the call of duty, and are hoping that Francis can gain revenge instead of stitches. There are three d i f t e r e n t matches tonight to go tor two out f three falls. Roy Heffernan of Australja will meet Tiger erommy BROWN Knowing inai we mucn-maligned only representative of her nation's 180,000,000 women, took a half doz en strides out of the starting blocks and fell flat on her face. She lay there unmoving as the field swept on toward the tape she had dreamed of snapping. They carried her off and her head still hung down, eyes avoiding the stares of 100.000 spectators, her tears dripping into the dust her spikes had trodden so hopefully. And then there was Mr. Kyle, a tiny colleen who thought so hap pily of winning this race. She had counted on it so much that, when the Irish Olympic Committee did not have the money to send her, her husband put up the cash for her expenses. She rode her dreams 3.000 miles from Erin. She Finished Last Those hopes crashed too, on Sat urday. Mrs. Kyle got of last in her opening heat of the 100 meter dash and finished last. It was probably even worse for Smith and Maekawa. They had fine chances of win ning boxing championships and they had trained assiduously. Then they had to unlearn their "professional type" style In favor of the standup Olympic style. They worked long and hard. But when it came time lor the weigh-in, just before they were to go into action, they each were one ounce overweight. So for one ounce each, two Olympic gold medals may have been lost. Don't tell these kids, any of them, about heartbreak as the winners mount the podium with shining eyes. For every smile here, there arc a million te&rs. BULL MONTANA . , Ihe block huslrr Martindalc in the semi-windup but this one is limited to 30 minutes.

JONES The unhill struggle to keep or ganized baseball in Salem leveled off today with the encouraging news that 100 per cent of the Sa lem Senator partnership has been sold. Spreading the word, and testify ing that "another 20 per cent" could have been sold, was George Paulus, the hard-working board di rector who was named at today's meeting as temporary chairman of nominating and steering com mittee. The 17 present at the Marion ho tel decided to have a general meeting of the SI new partners at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. s, to elect an operating committee from among the partners. Before then, Paulus will meet with a steering committee Friday noon this week at the Senator hotel. Stockholders Meet Dec. 12 On that steering, committee are Walt Zosel, Dave Hoss, Al Light ner, Clayton Foreman and Bill Mc Mahan. Annual stockholders' meeting, Viking Quintet In Undecided Al Harter 111; Two More Starters Unknown For Saturday Mil C JSpts-VlKING 1-30-14 The North Salem High starting lineup for Saturday night s open ing game still is "up in the air," Coach Ward Paldanius said today. The 6-foot-6 senior center, Al Harter, was booked for a starting role but has been out the past four days with the flue and is a doubt ful player. There are two other positions undecided to open against Fort Vancouver there. It is a toss-up between Kent Lammers and Don Drake for one forward position and three are batting for the other forward spot Garry and Larry Kanz and Ho mer Wood. Wood is a 6-1 soph while the Kanz twins are around 6-2. The guards appear to be Jim Litchfield and Dennis McKee, both lettermen. McKee has had the most experience on the whole squad. Pushing them are Val Barnes, junior, and Ed Kitchen, senior. Paldanius has trimmed his squad down to 14. Others are Glen Durham, 5-11 senior guard; Grant Harter, 6-6 sophomore center; and Dick Scoggins, 6-4 junior cenlcr. Scoggins is considered the most likely to replace Al llartcr if the latter can't get back into condi tion from his illnes, Paldanius said. Fort Vancouver, the older of Ihe two Vancouver high schools, has considerable experience, including Bill Chronis, all-state guard in the state tournament, and Gordon Upke, 6-6 all-league center. Anoth er is Joe McKnight, the all-state Class A-2 star who transferred from St. Helens to Vancouver. Gordien Takes Discus Second MELBOURNE tfl Fortune Gordien, brawny Brightwood, Ore. sawmill operator, failed Tuesday in his third bid for an Olympic Games discus throw champion ship. Gordien, who holds the world record with a toss of 104 feet, 6 inches at Pasadena, Calif., in 1!53, was second to Al Oertcr of the University of Kansas. Oerter established an Olympic record with a throw of 184 feet. II inches, erasing a mark of 180 feet, B'i inches set by Sim Inest in win ning the 1952 championship. Gordien, who had been only 11th among the 15 qualifiers with 156 feet, 4'i inches, hurled the discus 179 feet, 10 inches. He barely beat Des Koch of Shelton. Wash., a for mer Southern California football star, who threw It 178 feet 5H inches for third place. At that it was the best Olympic performance for Gordien, a for mer University of Minnesota star. He finished third in 1948 with a throw of lfifi feet, 7 inches, and fourth in 1952 with a heave of 172 feet, 9 27-100 inches. Patterson May Try 'Kangaroo Punch on Moore CHICAGO m An unorthodox right hand lead employed by young Floyd Patterson and often referred to as the "Kangaroo" punch might be Ihe telling factor if used in Friday night' heavy, weight championsh'p bout at Chi cago stadium, t Patterson mees veteran Archie Moore in Ihe nationally Irlevisrd bout for the title vacated by Rocky Marciano. Patterson has usee! his Kanga roo" punch effectively in Ihe past but ring experts scolf at Ihe idea of trying it against Moore, who has been pounding around for 20 yean through 158 fights. postponed twice to give time to sell the 100 per cent and to gain a 30-day delay in Waters Park mort gage foreclosure, is set tentatively for Wednesday, Dec. 12. Notices will go into the mail at least five days before then, Paulus said. The procedure, briefly, will be for the operating committee to be set up beforehand and ready for expected approval of stockholders. The only alternative, Paulus point ed out, is to drop the whole plan and liquidate. Between the stockholders meet ing and the end of December the operating committee must refi nance the pane, pay debts, the mortgage and back ' taxes. The mortgage is for $16,500 plus inter est of $825. Stockholders must lease the park to the committee, the lease money to go toward cov ering depreciation, taxes and am ortization. To Hire Managers Another big job of the operating committee would be to hire a player-manager and a business manager. Nothing definite was de cided on how much to pay a busi ness manager but it was suggested that he get about $600 a month plus a percentage of profits from overall operations. A week ago 89 per cent had been sold, and a week before that it was 70 per cent. The plan calls for subscribers covering a percent age of any deficit next year, much of which can be written off on in come tax returns. OSC First Five To Be Veteran, ' Tall for Opener CORVALLIS U) Oregon State College probably will use a rangy, nearly all-veteran starting lineup when it opens its basketball season at Provo, Utah, against Bngham Young Friday night. .Slats Gill, in his 29th year as head coach here, Monday listed a first team with Dave Gambee (6-71 and Bob Allord (6-5) at for wards; Wayne Moss (6-9) at cen ter; and Ken Nanson (6-0) and Jim Anderson (5-9) at guards. All except Anderson were at least part-time first-stringers last year. Anderson is a speedy sopho more transfer from Grays Harbor Junior College at Aberdeen. Gill told sportswritcrs and broadcasters at a luncheon here the team is improved over last year and should show well in the Pacific Coast Conference. . He praised Gambee, who was Oregon State's high scorer as a sophomore last- season. "Gambee Isn't strictly an of fensive basketball player," he said. "He has the movement to play top defense, too, and he can work outside as well as inside. U.S. Boxer Gains Quarter-Finals Of Light Welters MELBOURNE Wl Lanky Joe Shaw, an 18-year-old oflice boy from St. Louis, fought his way into the quarter-finals of the Olympic boxing championships Tuesday in the light welterweight class with a unanimous decision over Australia's Max Carlos.

Said Blackbourn, 'he has the greatest potential of all Notre Dame backs." Quite a tribute when you realize thar Notre Dome has turned out more All-America backs than any othci school in the nation. including such great quarterbacks as Johnny Lujack, Angelo Bcrtelli, licorge tiauer man, Ralph Guglielmi, and Bobby Williams.
