He's almost cer tain to better the 823-point mark that carried him to this same crown in 1955 at College of Idaho, but the end of the season will stop him before he cracks the all-time regional mark.

Also evident to the analytical fans is that a North loss and a South victory would almost assure the Saxons of another appearance at Eugene. Full Press Expected Coach Ward Paldanius' Vikings have to contend with Royce Mc Daniel and a pressing defense that puts a premium on ball handling under stress. Albany was able to hold McDaniel, district's leading scorer, to two field goals by al ternately guarding him closely with Joe Prohaska and John Wil- son.

Rath, who built the establish ment in 1949, has had three man agers Ralph Negley, Frankie Evans and Tony Vittone. Vittone indicated he will stay on for a while but revealed no plans. "I think this will be a good thing for the bowling public," Rath said today in a statement. The new owners indicated they plan some changes in the U Bowl, installing fluorescent light ing instead of floodlights above the alloys and taking out some pool tables to make a meeting room. They also plan eventually to install underground or cov ered ball returns. The U-Bowl was equipped with automatic pin-setters last year.

This afternoon I had an inteersting, though windblown, time with Les Zumwalt of the game commish, photographing blacktail deer in the Mary's Peak country near Corvallis. This area is a beautiful one with tall stands of Douglas fir on stralght-up-and-down hillsides, winter freshets tumbling down to Join Rock Creek, and Jaunty blacktalls dancing through the shadows. On a clear day like today, you can look eastward across the valley to the white cone of Mt. Jefferson. From high on the slopes of Mary's Peak, Oregon still looks new and unspoiled; you are too far removed from "civilization" to see many evidences of "progress." Thi miintrv is owned larBelv bv the Siuslaw National Forest, and part of it belongs to the city of Corvallis. It is from Rock Creek that Corvallis gets most of its water supply. The region is closed to hunting and fishing ; in fact, access to it is guarded by locked gates. For many years, no logging was allowed. Then certain stands of timber became affected by parasites, and loggers convinced for estry officials that logging on a selective basis, with a program of rcseeding, would improve rather than injure tho forest. Now strip logging is being carried on, and this activity certainly is beneficial to the deer. HEAVY FOREST HUNGRY DEER Some people thnik that heavy forest are Ideal for deer hab itat. This is not true. In most cases. The deep shade of the forest prevents the sunlight from penetrating strongly, and the brush and other vegetation on which the deer subsist lacks strength from lack of the protein-stimulating light. Thus deer in deep for ests often die with their bellies full of malnutrition. The patches opened up to tho vecetation. and these onen areas survive in the forest. This afternoon, we found almost all of the black tails along the roads or in clearings. The sun that has appeared oc casionally for the past several weeks has Dcgun to green up tne grass, attracting the animals. EVEN DINING ON OREGON GRAPE Except for these clearings, Mary's Peak deer have a tough lime foraging. Really, there is not enough food to sustain many deer in good shape. Les Zumwalt has always maintained that deer would not eat Oregon grape, but today he found a bush that had been nib bled on. Plenty of sword fern is present under the trees, but It is certainly not an ideal item of diet, though the deer will eat it if they have to. We saw a lew deer that were none too thrifty, but most of them were in surprisingly good condition, considering the browze, and quite wary. I rode the hood of the car, the camera, mounted on a gunstock, held ready. When a deer appeared alongside the road Les would stop abruptly, and I would lake off after the critter, the camera buzzing. What kind of shots we got is anyone's guess but It was great fun and we saw lots and lots of snucy, bouncing blacktalls. "SEVEN WHITE HIND-ENDS" Out our way lives the Mendenhall family, and yesterday Mrs. Men denhall showed us a letter from her son "Scoop" who lives near La Grande. I think you'll enjoy this portion of It: "I have been snondinc my time hunting cottontails and photo graphing deer and winter landscapes.

Dave Hoss, master of ceremon ies, introduced Mrs. Brenner and Mrs. Gunnarson. Goal Is 113,000 in Sales Clayton Foreman, secretary- treasurer of the operating com mittee, pointed out the need for more ticket salesmen to reach the quota of 1200 ($13,000). The plan is to have 15 team captains and teams of five to compete for cash prizes. George Paulus, operating com mittee chairman,' told of sending out 1480 letters about season .tick ets and reported that all the sign board advertising at Waters Park has been sold, and most of the scorebook ads. ................

Wl A jovial and friendly Ted Williams, visibly happy to be back in a baseball uniform, predicted a banner sea son for himself Friday but was not nearly so optimistic about his club, the Boston Red Sox. Baseball's greatest hitter said he couldn't see how any club could possibly beat out the New York Yankees for the American League pennant this year. He be moaned me -lanure ot the Red Sox to improve the club through trading during tne on season. The Yankees' acquisition of two pitchers like (Art) Ditmar and (Bobby) Shantz may kill off all interest in the American League race by mid-season," Wil liams said. Williams conceded the Red Sox tried diligently all winter to barter for a shortstop but the quest end ed in lanure He predicted he would barring unforeseen injury or illness nlav at least 100 games, exclusive of pincn nit appearances, He "guessed" he would bat .325, hit 30 home runs and drive in 100 runs "If the time comes when I can't do that," he said, "1 11 quit.'

Val and Sll In the sub-district playoff game between Valsetz and Silctz (won by Valsetz in overtime) there was an unfortunate incident that caus- ed some hard feelings, With 37 seconds to go in the reg ulation time and Silctz leading by two, ono of the Valsetz players took a poke at the Warriors' Co qullle Thompson. If the incident has been reported correctly in some of the Valley papers, Thomp son just put up his hands to pro tect himself. However, the offi cials banished both boys. Tho Valsetz boy had few points to his credit but Thompson, the second son of the famous Indian football star at OSC, is one of the leading cogs for the Warriors and had 14 points. Valsetz tied the game Willi five seconds remaining and won It in tho overtime. To make it worse, Thompson's sub was tho first used by Silctz and he flubbed a free throw in the overtime. Officials can get some hot ones but they couldn't find a closer game in which to get caught. Of course, Valsetz' fine, 6-fl cen ter, Ernie Johnson, had something to do with the outcome as ho bag ged 20 points and scored a tying basket at the end of regulation time and In the overtime.
