Oregon Tech Seeks Coach Klamath Falls, Ore., Feb. 21 (U.R) The football team at the Oregon Technical institute here was without the services o f Coach Dale Daughcrty today. Daugherty, who took over as head coach when football was introduced at OTI two years ago, announced his resignation to Di rector Winston Purvine without making public his reason. At the same time, Purvine said the resignation had been accepted and that application would be accepted at his office for the vacant position. Mean while, Daugherty will remain at the institute to finish out the school year by coaching OTI's first baseball team. Daugherty was Lincoln high school coach in Portland the year before he accepted the OTI position. Before that he coached five years at St. Cloud, Minn., and was graduated from Brad ley university.

Joe Page Presented With Fireman's Badge New York, Feb. 21 (U.R) Even the New York fire de partment wants Joe Page around when the going gets hot. For years Fireman Joe has been answering the alarm, go ing as a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees, quelling enemy conflagrations. Now the city fire depart ment has presented him with a special card to go past all city fire lines. A recent letter to The Mail Tribune from N. A. Dunford of Eagle Point brings up a problem that school officials and the Ore gon School Activities association have wrestled with for some time Nevada Want Big Football? Reno, Feb. 21 (U.R) Do the people of Nevada really want a bie-time football team at their only Slate university? Reno businessmen who have been supporting the University of Nevada team financially want an answer before tney do any more about "saving" the sport at the school. Thev have chipped in nearly $100,000 during the past four years to build Nevada into a football power. In addition, they are in debt $45,000 to the school for the feeding and housing of football players, and at least $10,000 of this must be raised by April 15. The university's regents de cided to "foreclose" on the bill last week, setting off a chain of remarkably frank revelations by Head Coach and Athletic Direc tor Joe Sheeketski, who admit ted Nevada was being outbid for good players by richer colleges. but so far have not been able to solve. This is the problem of dividing the high schools in Oregon up in to districts and classes so they will play other schools of rela tively the same size in student body members. Dunford said in part: "It appears to me that those who make the rules classifying schools as to A class and B class ought to do something for the smaller schools . . . When (a school) has the best team on the floor but does not have very many subs there should be some way to limit the other team's substitutions." A solution to this is not as easy as it might seem for while southern Oregon and the Wil lamette valley area probably could be divided up into three classes (AA, A and B), it would be more than a little difficult to do so in eastern Oregon, for in stance, where distances between towns are much greater. A proposal was made last De cember to the OSAA board of control which supervises school activities In Oregon, that the high schools be divided into three classes. Class AA would be schools who had roughly 500 or more students registered, class A would be between 230 and 500 and the class B would be un der 250 pupils. The OSAA board turned down the reclassification pro posal and Executive Secretary Tom Pigott said just the other da- that he knows of no plan to revive the idea. Tuesday, February 21, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Under such a plan such schools as Medford, Klamath Falls and Grants Pass would be classified under class AA, schools such as Eagle Point, Central Poirt. Kcr by and even Ashland woWd Ke in class A. while the present R schools would remain as they are now. While such a division would not limit the number of subs a school could insert, as Dun ford suggests, It would make competition more even because of relatively the same number of students playing on each squad. Of course such a division would not prevent Medford from playing its traditional game with Ashland or even say Central Point meeting ei ther valley class AA football eleven or Basketball quintet. Such games just would not count in the race for state honors. Dunford In his letter cited as Rogue Forest Area Marked As Preserve An area of more than 9,297 acres within the Rogue River Na tional forest have been reserved for protection and preservation of scenic and recreation land, according to a public land order published in the February 10 is sue of the "Federal Register." The land is reserved for pro tection of the Union Creek rec reational area and areas adjacent to the Alex Sparrow Memorial highway (part of Carter Lake highway), highway 230 and the Rogue river channel. By the bu reau of land management order the property is withdrawn from appropriation under regulations including mining laws but not the mineral-leasing laws. an example of what he believes is a wrong policy, the recent basketball game between Eagle Point high and Grants Pass In which the Eagles used but 6 play ers while the Cavemen used 15 men. Incidentally, by scoring abil ity and general all-around play, if Grants Pass had been limited to its five starters plus maybe one or two others, the Eagles stood a good chance of winning that game for the Cavemen first stringers failed to bother Eagle Point very much. Delaware, O, (U.R) James A. Bright shot a running rabbit while hunting. When he went to pick up his kill, he found that his take had been doubled. The bullet had passed through the first rabbit and killed another sitting in a clump of grass.
