hands of that team.
The local wiuad, nfter its deci
sive defeat of (.! rants Pass, in the

week on a hard course of sprouts,
in preparation for the Klamath
game. Defensive play and "break

main physical objective. Mentally,
Coach liuruher will endeavor lo

Point for Med in it I
The K la math Falls squad has
plenty
nf material, but has not
found
itself. Their main point
maker is Howard Wakeman, for
. ward, a former Rogue Kiver boy,
( and Sigsert, runnins guard, is a
elose second. They have length,
ond n penchant for throwing long
phots. The Pelicans might put up
a hectic struggle here as they have
plenty of potential strength and
are "pointed" for the Med ford
learn. Like all rivals of the local
school, it does not matter with
Klamath who beats them, as long
as they beat Medfoid.
A large delegation of Klamath
Falls students and funs are coming
to see the local contest.

Anglers are warned by deputy
game wardens on duty in this sec
tion lhat (he state game clause
governing steelhead fishing will be
strictly enforced. No steelhead are
to be caught until April 15, the
opening of the trout season, duo to
the fish being classified as trout.
Yesterday, Deputy Warden Hoy
I'arr was on duty in Josephine
county and arrested lour anglers
on steelhead charges, and fishing
without a license. 1. Kincaid
of Central Point Is charged by the
officer with the possession of six
! steelhead and Iee Staley of (1 rants
Pass is charged with possession of
five. A. O. t.'ort and A. T. Corl
1 f Wonder. Ore., were arrested by
: the deputy fr angling without a
license. The four were to appear
today in the drams Pass justice
court. The goose thai laid the golden
egg had nothing on the South Da
kota rlngneck pheasant. Nor had
the Pied Piper of fabled depopu
lating powers, nor even Midas of
the gold-mint fingers, in the esti
mation of two chambers of com
merce of the coyote state.
For the ringneck's death only
multiplies golden nest-eggs in
South Dakota pockets, the ring
neck's piping only swells the
South Dakota population, and the
ringneck's nimble touch upon any
countryside decorates the scene
with loose currency, circulated by
the chambers of commerce of
Kedfleld and Huron. Copies of
these have been received by this
column.
Its native game depleted. South
Dakota some years ago imported
Chinese pheasants and transplant
ed them with many misgivings
near Kedfield. U n d e r careful
supervision the birds Increased so
enormously that now the state per
mits long open seasons and liberal
bag limits to sportsmen, and many
towns vie for glory, trade, tourists
and residents on the strength of
pheasant hunting.
The "'pleasant city" of Kedfield
became famous as "pheasant city,"
and Huron boosters laud that city's
location "in tho heart of hunters'
paradise."
This was pointed out by the
game officials as probably the first
instance in which game has been
recognized by chambers of com
merce as a major resource because
of the money spent by sportsmen.
"And this golden return from a
few imported pheasants only re
quired an active interest in provid
ing suitable cover, food and other
environmental conditions so that
the birds could thrive," the offi
cials said.
Tatlents in Missouri's six state
hospitals and institutions are now
finding health and happiness in
learning a new occupation, rais
ing wild game.
I 'ens and coops for raising
pheasants and bobwhlte quail have
been erected at each institution,
officials of the Missouri Came ond
Kish department have informed
the American tiame Protective as
sociation, and patients w hose
health permits light outdoor work
find pleasant relief from hospital
routine in caring for the birds.
Physicians at the hospitals have
commended tho plan for its effect
up'n the mental and physical
health of the patients, and for
supplying tho m with training
which many of them may wish to
profit by when released from the
hospital. At the same time, the
.state is assured of a steady supply
of game for restocking gameless
areas.
