In the current Gamb Commission Bulletin, P. W. Shneidcr says that the completed waterfowl census in Oregon reveals that record numbers of birds wintered here. He goes on to say that definite consideration has been given to altering season dates, and it may be possible that different dates for cluck nunting may dc sei tor me cna ou western sections of the stale. He also indicates that larger bag limits may be in the offing. HUNTERS NOT INTERESTED IN BIG BAGS It is my feeling, the result of years of discussion with duck hunters, that they are not concerned so much with long seasons and big bag limits as they are with having the season extend as late as possible.

Seattle Chief Says Even Better Than Russell By JACK HKW1NS SEATTLE tfi The university which started in basketball where Paul Bunyan stopped in the tall timber is in the East with its lat est living legend, Elgin (the Rab bit) Baylor. People still refuse to believe some of- the scoring feats of little Johnny O'Brien, who carried Se attle University to national prom inence during the 1951-53 college generation. lie was the first collegian to score 1,000 points in a season, hit ting 1,051 in 1952. In 1953 he was, at S-feet-9, the smallest All America. Now comes Bnylor. "It took the Midwest and East n year to realize that Bill Rus sell of San Francisco U. actually existed." says Seattle Conch John Castellani. "Baylor can do every thing Russell did and more." The East will have Its look at Baylor at the National Invitation Tournament in Madison Square Garden starting March 16. Crit ics will see a 6-foot-6, 225-poundcr who has the grace and reactions of a featherweight boxer. He has been compared to other greats beside Russell, but where most of them excelled in one department of play, Baylor is superb at all. He scores from any point in the front court, ranks with the nation al scoring leaders and rates near the top in rebounds. His passing is sharp and crisp and he often fore goes a scoring opportunity to pass to a teammate. Considered weak on defense at the start of the season, Baylor now carries his full share of the load. "I feel he is the greatest basket hall player I've ever seen," says Cnslellnm, and a great team plover." For both the coach and Bnylor the New York visit will be almost a homecoming. Baylor came west from Springarn High School in Washington, D. C, stopping over for one year at College of Idaho. Castellani, who was an assistant coach at Notre Dame last season, hails from New Britain, Conn. "I never imagined that, In my first year as a college coach would be taking my team to a major tournament in the Garden, says the peppery' mentor of the Chieftains, who Is nearly a foot shorter than his star. Baylor, who hit 54 points in one game against the national AAU champion Buchan Bakers, is abetter in his shooting forays by a couple of 6-fool-7 forwards and a large collection of capable guards. Up front arc Dick Slricklin of Huntington Beach, Calif., and Thornton Humphries of Apalachi- cola, Fla. The usual starters at guard are 6-foot-2 Francis Saun ders, and 5-fool-lO Jim Harney. Back of this starting crew Cas tellani has a strong bench and he says of his squad: "It's a 10 man outfit, wilh plenty of hustle and desire. Wherever and who ever we're ploying, it will never quit." Claus on Top Dallas Scoring DALLAS (SpcciaDIim Claus led all scorers for the Dallas basketball squad during the season, with Jack Bcrnier running second, according to statistics cov ering all games played by Coach Gordon Kunkcs Dragons. Claus had 267 total points and Bcrnier collcoted 243. Claus also had the best field goal accuracy record with a .3117 mark, hilling 101 field goals in 261 nttempts. Gary Henry led in rebounds with 167 and Claus was second with 16.1. Dave Marslers was tops from the charity stripe, hitting 34 ol 44 free throw chances for a .773 per centage.
