THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section Z Page : North and South to Play Doubleheader Here Tonight Salem, Oregon, Friday, December 14, 1956 m0 By BOB BOYS WILL BE BOYS. EVEN IF THEY'RE MEN We've always maintained that one of the main reasons men like to duck hunt is that the sport allows them to return to some of the joys of childhood. They can go "bang, bang" with a gun (rarely making anything but noice) and they can blow a weird sounding duck call till their eyeballs fall out. If they use a dog, they can blow a whistle at the top of their lungs (the dog usually won't pay any attention, but it's still fun o blow the whistle). Now, capitalizing on the grown-up desire for playthings, a mart Eugene firm is manufacturing mechanical duck decoys. We recently were given one of these delightful gadgets, and we're literally as tickled as a kid with a new toy. IT DOES EVERYTHNG BUT SHOOT The decoy, made of plastic and resembling a quality decoy in all respects, ducks its head under water, tilts its head backward, moves its head from side to side and even drips water from the bill, like a live duck does. From a little distance, it could fool anybody. It puts out quite a ripple on the water, and will really make a stool of decoys come to life. One big danger that can result from using this decoy is the possibility of some sitting-duck sluicer creeping up and blasting you set of decoys to smithereens. It could easily happen and while the company guarantees the thing, we doubt if they'll send you a new decoy to replace one that has been riddled with number 6 shot . . . CALM WEATHER MAGIC The decoy is operated from a battery. It is connected to a battery and switch through seventy-five feet of wire. Press the switch and the critter comes to life. It would be of especial value on days when the water was calm. A friend of ours is going to use our decoy out on the Turner flats this Sunday, and we'll give it a whirl also In the next week, and report to you how good it is. QUICK FIELD DECOY Found a way the other day to make field decoys quite speedily. Remove the keel ring from your rubber Deke and blow the thing up like a balloon. Then wind the anchor cord around the keel to hold in the air. The bloomirT things look very realistic-etter than stake out silhouettes. What is it they say desperation is the mother of invention? PROSPECT GOOD FOR LAST WEEKS OF "DUCKING" There's lots of water and thousands upon thousands of ducks la the area now, and excellent hunting should cause the chilled shot to faU like hail In the remaining couple of weeks of water fowl season. All you need Is time, a place to hunt, and plenty of cash for shells, which, at current prices, should be chrome-plated. Coast streams fluctuate so rapidly that keeping up with the steel head conditions is a day-to-day task. Earlier in the week, it looked as though high water would prevail into this weekend. BANK FISHING BEST ON COAST Well, the water In most of the major coast streams this Friday morning Is somewhat high and a bit roily, but the rivers arc clearing and dropping. Still fishing Is paying off heavy dividends right now, though the water Is not clear enough on streams like the Nestucca for drifting. Clearer streams are, as usual, the smaller ones. The Little Nes tucca Is in fairly good shape, Beaver Creek Is good, and we imagine Neskowin Creek is clearing fairly well. The same thing should apply to most of the smaller streams you Barring heavy rains tonight streams should be driftable by Sunday. Plenty of fish, so a trip coastward can be extremely productive. If Toil time things Just right, getting there when both the fish and the weather are cooper ative . JUNIOR RIFLEMEN COMPETE The Salem Junior Optimist Rifle Club-announces that tonight they hold their big Mid-Season Handicap Match at the Army Reserve Arm ory at 7 p.m. They want all their members to take part in this big club match. HONKER HUNTING CLOSES Goose hunters will have their last opportunity at local Canada Goose hunting tomorrow, when the season winds up for honkers In Yamhill, Polk, Benton, Linn and Lane counties. Seems these birds winter here In the mid-valley, and their numbers have been dwind ling. Thus the early closure. Giants Should Win Easily for Clincher 6 . Punchless Eagles Final Foe of New York PHILADELPHIA (Jt-The New York Giants, needing either a vic tory or a tie to win the Eastern Division championship of the Na tional Football League, close the regular season here tomorrow against the punchless Philadelphia Eagles. Coach Jim Lee Howell's rugged aggregation carries a 7-3-1 record into this crucial game, a game ahead of the late-surging Wash ington Redskins. If the Giants win Orcutt's Evens Series Against Wolgamott Five Orcutt's city league basketball team reversed a night-before beat ing by Wolgamott's Thursday, winning a practice game by a whopping 62-34 score. Herb Brandli starred for Or cutt's for the second straight night, getting 21 points this time. Wolgamott's was paced by broth ers Fritz and Carl Beyer, each with 10.

Ties do not count In the NFL standings. Bears vs. Lions The Chicaeo Bears and the De troit Lions meet in Chicago Sun day for the Western Division title. The Lions hold a half-game lead. New York should win easily if the Philadelphia game runs true to form, something the NFL isn't exactly famous for. In the first meeting between the clubs, the Giants' won 20-3. handling Coach Hugh Devore's "conservative of fense with little trouble. At that time the Eagles were near full strength. Tomorrow, the wingless Birds, resting in the Eastern Di vision cellar 3-7-1), wiU be lucky if they can field eight backs of fensively and defensively. Their injury list is huge. In other weekend games, the Chicago Cardinals play the Cleve land Browns at Cleveland, the Green Bay Packers meet the Rams at Los Angeles, and the Baltimore Colts and the San Fran cisco 49ers tangle in the West. All three will be played Sunday.

The doubleheader, second of three involving the South Salem Woodson Run One of Most Spectacular Annti.il Survey Includes Derby Gallop Through Illini Team By HUGH FULLERTON Jr. NEW YORK W Football is a game that thrives on the spectac ular, so it isn't surprising there were almost so many "most spec tacular" incidents mentioned in the annual Associated Press post season survey as there were sports writers and broadcasters contrib uting to it. But the ones most frequently mentioned were Abe Woodson's fi nal touchdown run for Illinois against Michigan State and Dickie Lewis' 103-yard race for Maryland against North Carolina State. The Illinois-Michigan State game was one of the season's real thril lers. It was mentioned promi nently in the balloting for the sea- son s outstanding one-game per formance by a team and Wood son's three touchdown scoring feat drew a good many votes as the outstanding Individual perform ance. Other plays listed as "most spec tacular" included: Dean Derby, Washington, run ning 92 yards to score against Il linois. Tackle Don McCumby, Washing ton, intercepting a fumbled Stan ford pitchout and galloping 77 yards to score. Central Beats Saxon Matmen ' South Salem's wrestlers took their second straight defeat in their own gym Thursday night, bowing to a strong Central Hi team 31-24. The meet was close all the way until Central's 190-p o u n d and heavyweight entries pinned their opponents to cinch the win. The Saxons got some consolation as the JV team beat the visitors, 36 10. The loss leaves South Salem with a 1-2 season's record. Next match is here Monday against Cascade. Thursday's results: 97 Mvron Stepper (SS) dee.

McMinnville then will move on to North Salem for a single game Saturday night against Coach Ward Paldanius' 1956-57 edition.

The Grizzlies' leading scorers arc Gene Carlson, Marlyn Ritchie and Don Carlson after two games, Carlson and Ritchie with 22 points. (Jarison, 6-5 senior center, is strong on the backboards.

Coach Leo GrosJacques' Sabers have split a pair with Salem Acad emy in two starts, but appear to he one of the two or three top challengers for the CC crown. North Marion and Silverton will be matching two inexperienced clubs. Husky Coach Bob Logsdon is new to the circuit and is still getting a new system established at North Marion. Silverton is catching up after an extra-long football season and is not yet at top form. Stayton, the defending league champ, will get a look at 1957's top contender in Cascade. Both teams won their only start before the jamboree. Cascade will be a favorite because of its veterans and an Impressive showing Wed nesday, but beating Stayton at borne is rough. The fourth league contest at Mt. Angel should show the potential of a pair of low-ranked league teams. Both are small and lack veterans, and don't figure to im prove much on their 7th and 8th spots of last year. But Mt. An gel beat Stayton In the jamboree and either club could surprise.
