Peter Mueller on the deck three

with Albany. v?
The Oregon- School Activities
Association Friday informed
Corvallis principal Ray Hard

had voted unanimously - to de
clare the contest a 55-54 victory
for the. Spartans.
. Coryallis filed a formal pro
test with,, the OSAA following
the ' contest, .which game offi
cials said was won by Albany
57-55 after a double overtime
period.
The score at the beginning of
the period was tied at 53-53,
and Corvallis contended the
game should have ended when
the Spartans led 55-54, since
rules state ."sudden -death" is in
effect when one team scores two
points. -
' Officials, who later admitted
their error, had the game con

Final Trout ;
Regulations
Get Approval
Portland XU.PJ ' The trout
season in Oregon will open on
Saturday, April 30, and close on
Sunday, October 9.
The State Game Commission,
after a final public hearing'that
lasted only 18 minutes, set final
regulations Friday evening with
only a couple of major changes
from tentative regulations set
two weeks ago.
The commission decided to re
establish the rule requiring that
fish over 14 inches in length be
returned to the McKenzie river.
This regulation- will remain in
effect at least through 1955. J
McKenzie river guides and
businessmen had asked the com
mission to do away with the rule
and allow fish '. over 14 inches
to be 'kept This was done in
the tentative regulations but the
commission decided Friday to
keep the old rule in effect at
least for this year. ;
Cascade Lakes - " -" " -
Lake o' the Woods in Klamath
county was made to open on
May 28 with the rest of the Cas
cades lakes, instead of April 30.
The season for lakes, reser
voirs and their tributaries within
national forest boundaries in the
Cascades is from May 28 to Oct.
9. The commission decided this
year- against . opening coastal
areas sooner.1
The bag limit at East and
Paulina lakes was made the
same as the general bag limit,
which is 10 trout. , The eight
inch rule on the coast remains
in effect. - - - - -
It will be legal to take white
fish in any water open for trout,
steelhead -or salmon angling.
There will be no bag or length
limit on whitefish.
