President Al Kurblts of the Chinooks telegraphed BUI Falwell, secretary of the Medford Athletic association, yesterday In regard to a game here Saturday as well as Sun day.

However, the Sunday encounter will be staged on the fine high school field.

And, that's the main thing. There Is just one new angling law Oregon nlmrods will have to remem ber this year as they trudge the mountain by-ways, all other rules are the same as In 1937. This season, trout under six Inches In length can't be re t a I nod, but must be tossed back from whence they came. Trout six Inches In length or over are legitimate. As for hag limits, there are no changes In the laws 15 pounds and one fish but not to exreed 20 fish In any one day, or HO pounds and one fish but not to exceed 40 fish In any seren con serutlve days, and It Is unlawful to possess more than 80 pounds and one fish or more than 40 fish nt any one time. And for lakes, except Diamond, It's Iff pounds and one fish but not to exceed 15 fish In any one day, or 30 pounds and one fish hut not to exceed 30 fish In any seren eonseeutlxe days. For Jackson county anglers, addi tional wnter has been opened this aoaaon, almost 18 miles of It Last seoflon, the north fork of Little Butte creek, from Pish lake to the linke Creek postofflce. was entirely closed to fishing. This year, the north fork of Little Butte Creek will be open except for a distance of three- quarters mile downstream from Pish lake. All other open and closed water in the county remains the same as last year. Although trout are reported plentl fur In all streams of the county, state police believe angling will be rather poor for awhile because of the high and roily water. What catches are made will probably be with bait or spinners, as the trout won't be able to see flies until the water recedes and clears. One of the best streams for the opening will be Evans creek, stnte police said, which Is clear above Wlmer and literally teeming with trout. A warning was Issued to s.11 fish ermen that they must equip their cars with chains when venturing ofl paved or graveled roads. Practically all country and mountain roads are In poor condition because of heavy rainfall and snow the past winter State police said, and cars would become mired down If thiy didn't possess chains. The road to Squaw lake cen be traveled only as far es Dlvldent Bar, they reported, and the mile and a half to the lake must be walked. Coast I engtie Portland. 1; Oakland, 0.

As can easily be seen, the bill will atart will two clean and gentlemanly wrestlers displaying their scientific ability, and wind up with a pair of brawla expected to send everyone Into hysterica. McDonald and Ken as ton will be renewing one of the bitterest of private feuda. Two months ago Sockeye handed Kenaston an un merciful beating, and last Monday night the Sergeant got some measure of revenge when he leveled Sockeye in the battle royal, giving the other contestants chance to eliminate the ex-logger with neatness and dispatch. Although Kenaston was in the ring only aa an extra referee, he wasted little time In getting to Sovkeye and giving him the works. Their clash next Monday night Is figured to be history-making, an epic of downright but legalized slaughter, And. the Berry-Hollls embrogllo, ac cording to the past record of the two villains, will not be for behind. fishing conditions ranging from ex cellent on coastal streams to Im possible In the trout populated streams and lakes of the Cascade mountain!.
