Irish, Spartans Draw r Penalties From NCAA; Temple State Hit Hard Chicago U.K Three new schools were subjected to NCAA punishment today with two of them, Notre Dame and Michigan State, suffering penalty chiefly through publicity. The Irish and Spartans, to- Height of Dam Raised by People of Hines, Burns Portland Delintment lake at the southern end of the Och oco National forest in northern Harney county has been given a new lease on life as a result of a cooperative project recently completed. The townspeople of Hines and Burns, the Hines Lumber com pany, the Izaak Walton league chapter at Burns, and the local Girl Scout organization, with the assistance of the United States Forest Service, combined their efforts to successfully complete one of the most outstanding co operative projects of its kind ever undertaken in this state. The project, involving raising the height of the dam at Delint ment lake, was commenced on July 3 and completed on July 12. Some 6,000 yards of dirt were added to the old dam to raise the height approximately eight feet. Purpose of the operation was to create a greater water area and depth in Delintment lake in an attempt to overcome the ser ious winter-kill problem at the lake. In prolonged, severe win ters, the fish suffocate under the Ice and snow cover through lack of oxygen. It is hoped that the greater volume of water will provide sufficient oxygen to en able the fish to ' survive the winters. The total cost of the project was slightly over $547.00. most of whicn was fuel and food. All money was obtained by public subscription and donation. Delintment lake is a phenom enally productive body of water, although relatively small in size. If the project is successful In eliminating winter kill, the lake will prove to be an even more popular fishing spot than it is at the present. Game Commission officials said. Football Clinic Here on Tuesday An Oregon School Activities association football clinic will be conducted at Medford senior high school on Wednesday, Aug ust 19, at 8 p. m. A.

Arizona State, least prominent of the trio, was handed the stiff en penalty, two years probation and banishment of athletes and teams in all sports from national tournament for the next school year. Notre Dame Objects Notre Dame and Michigan State were subjected only to written rebuke, but NCAA of ficials believed that the publicity of their cases would cause them the greatest anguish. Objections were forthcoming almost immediately from Notre Dame, where vice-president Rev. Edmund P. Joyce said the NCAA could have "more profitably" dealt with "many areas of really serious abuses" at other schools. The penalty was levied against Arizona State for pay ment to athletes for participation in sports, for tryouts of athletes, and for actions of the Sun Angel Foundation, an alumni group in the Phoenix area which from 1949 through 1952 contributed approximately $79,60O-to the col lege, Arizona State agreed to abide by the NCAA ruling. But the school's president, Grady Gam mage, said the college feels the matter on which the association based its decision was submitted by "prejudiced sources." Gammage complained of not having an opportunity to con front witnesses. He admitted in fractions of regulations and said the college has put its house in order and will see that it stays that way. Notre Dame was reprimanded for trying out athletes and Mich igan State for tryouts and re ceiving funds from an outside source. Sage Grouse Hunt Opens August 22 Portland Oregon's first gen eral hunting season of 1953 is due to get under way August 22. Running concurrently with the limited antelope hunt, the sage grouse season will extend from August 22 to 27. Though the bag limit has been lowered from last year and the length of the season decreased, hunters will be able to pursue the large-sized grouse over a larger area than in 1952. The bag limit for this year Is two birds per day and not over four during the entire season or in possession. Open area includes all of Har ney county and that portion "of Malheur county south of U. S. Highway 20. Portions of Lake, Crook, and Deschutes counties are also opened. Hunters should consult the hunting synopsis for descriptions of the open areas of these three counties. 0 K..:;::i:-:WvWvw.""l..,l . flr.til lliiliM rs ivi::ii -sis' .' .. i. 8" CLOSE Philadelphia Phils' Johnny Wyrostek beats out an Infield grounder as Giants' Cist sacker Wbitey Lockman stretches for the ball in the first inning of the opener of a double-header at the Polo Grounds in New York.

Burgy of Sun Valley, Ida., in class A. Population of Waterfowl High In West. Canada Winnipeg, Man. Waterfowl population of western Canada's prairie region probably is slight ly less than that of August, 1952, but overall population remains at a high level . . . Chief losers apparently have been mallard and pintail species, the latter in particular suffering nesting losses through adverse breeding weather in May and June. These salient facts headline the current issue of the Dr-'s Unlimited "Duckological," pared by Chief Naturalist Bert W. Cartwright. Up-to-the-minute material for the report was garnered In a 2,000 mile observ- Wellman Heads Batters inWIL Chicago U.F0 Yakima's Bob Wellman was again the lead ing batter in the Western In ternational league last week with a .349 average, Howe's News Bureau reported. The Bureau's statistics showed Vic Buccola, Tri-City, had taken over the lead in runs with 93 for the only change in the de partmental leaders. Spokane's Bill Franks and Salem's Joe Nicholas were lead ing the pitchers.

Wall Distributed First-hand observations re vealed "a healthy, well distrib uted population through Saskat chewan and southern Alberta." It showed numerous late broods of all species except Mallard and Pintail. These early nesting was Skinner Fourth In Ski Tourney Lon Skinner, Medford, fourth in overall rating, in the Pacific Coast Water Ski tourn ament at Lodi, Calif., Saturday and Sunday. Skinner was eighth In slalom skiing, ninth in the jumping event and fourth in trick rid ing. Another Medford aqua rider, Bill Wall, didn't participate in trick riding, and therefore, did not gain an overall rating. He was eighth in jumping and also competed in the slalom test. PLAY TO TIE Portland (U.R) Some 2200 fans turned out last night to watch Lind's Florists and the Compton Cuties battle to a 3-3 tie in a comedy-fillad Softball game. The Cuties are a barn storming comedian team that covers the girls Softball circuit species apparently were hard hit by frosts and blizzards of May 10-11, again by abnormally heavy precipitation In June. The mallards appear to have enjoyed greater renesting success. Pointing out that Manitoba production this year appears to be spotty, chiefly because of flood conditions, the "Duckologi cal" tempered its findings with 'late broods appearing now promise a slight improvement' Admitting that successful re nesting probably will mean an ample supply of birds this fall, Cartwright warned that there will be a lot of immature birds barely on the wing when shoot ing seasons open in western Can ada. He concluded, "Hunting success, as ever, will depend on the type of migration dictated by weather conditions of the October 1-November 15 period." B STARS WORK La Grande (U.F0 Coach Len Monroe of Maupin began working out a 24-man East team Monday for the annual East West 'B' Shrine game to be played August 29 at Pendleton.

Unit. Pma ' Sports Vfriisw New York (U.R The fight mob still was unconvinced today that Rocky Marciano deserved ranking as the "new Demp- sey" but the h e avyweight champ can clinch such recognition by flattening Ro land LaStarza In their Sept, 24 title fight Marclano's chlllintt record Oscar rralsy 0f39kayoesin 44 bouts would seem to merit the heavyweight accolade with out question. Yet there is a per sistent insinuation that the Rock hasn't beaten "anybody." One of the most outspoken concerning the shaky claim Mar ciano has to ring greatness is Dumb Dan Morgan, the loquac ious ancient, who led Jack Brit ton to the welterweight crown. Lucky Punch "He is," snorts Morgan, "a pot luck hitter a lucky punch er. I think that LaStarza will beat him and only if Marciano knocks him out will I .admit that he has a right to be classi fied with the great heavy weights." Dumb Dan, so called in fight mob jargon because of his mara thon linguistic ability, has a sur prising amount of support.' And when you scan Marciano's rec ord, it is understandable. The Rock's victims since he has strolled up to the doorway of greatness included a wash-un Joe Louis, an even more scrub bed Lee Savold, a chopping block named Gino Buonvino, un willing Bernie Reynolds, an ov erstuffed light heavyweight named Harry Matthews, a lucky desperation one shot win over ancient Jersey Joe Walcott and that return shot "victory" over old Joe. Rock Can Hit That last one can be discount ed. It will go into the books as a testimonial to the Rocks pun ching power but inside he must have been as surprised as any one else. Actually, it was a pain less payday for the old gent step ping down. You also can understand the respect for LaStarza, even though his record is not one to startle John L. Sullivan. For the fact remains that Marciano has been ducking rollicking Rol lie even since their split decision bout in March, 1930. It was painfully close and the hesita tion to acclaim Merciano, in Morgan's case, stems from the theory that Marciano actually hasn't become a better fighter Dillinger Holds Coast Bat Lead With .344 Mark San Francisco (U.R) Bob Dillinger, Sacramento infielder, tacked three points onto his bat ting average last week and now leads the Pacific Coast league hitters for the third consecutive week. His mark is .344-14 points ahead of second-place Artie Wil son of Seattle, who is second among the regulars. Fred Richards, Los Angeles first baseman, leads in hits with 183; and Dale Long, Hollywood first sacker, is tops in runs-bat-ted-in with 97 and in home runs with 27. George O'Donnell. Hollywood hurler, tops the pitchers with a 17-7 record for a .708 percent age. Allen Gettel, Oakland, leads in victories with 21; and in strikeouts with 124. Grid Physical Exams Thursday Physical examinations for Medford high "school football aspirants will be given at 7:30 p. m. Thursday at the Medford clinic Coach Fred Spiegelberg stated that all boys planning to turn out or football must take the physicals. That means both varsity and Junior varsity candidates. The examinations are re quired before boys can turn out for football or are covered by grid Insurance. No Favorites Among Leaders In Jaycee Play Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R There wasnt a favorite amon the leaders today as a record field of 220 teed off in the sec ond qualifying round of the 8th annual international Jaycee Jun ior golf tournament. Dick Chase of Oakmont, Pa., who fired a two-over-par 74 in the first round Monday, led the way over the 6,860-yard Univer sity of Michigan course. Pressing close on his heels was Jimmy Raines of Augusta, Ga who shot 37-38-75. Edwin Jen kins of Jacksonville, Fla and Bobby Dunn of Cornelia, Ga , were tied for third with 76's.
