'International Sourulvhoto i Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York U.R) Heavy weight champ Rocky Marciano is a 5 to 1 favorite today to put the lights out for Britain's Don Cockell and his camp apparently is so confident it's an underlay that they're putting the knock n the Brockton block buster. Not that Rocky's entourage is comparing him to a six-round preliminary boy. You could hardly do that to an undefeated heawweicht chamDion of the world. : But a slight knock, withal, and one apparently designed to help the business of selling paste boards of admission. The latest dispatches from the ock-sharnening sites on the West Coast are building up Cockell as a cross between King Kong and Man O' War. And, to brine the two gladiators a bit closer in the,public mind. Mar ciano trainer Charley Goldman assertedly hss opined that the Rock still has "some important things to learn." The need of such study is baf fling, unless they want him to learn the art of destroying more than one opponent per evening. So Goldman's alleged remarks are downright mysterious. Red Raiders Win From Humboldt Cindermen Ashland Southern Oregon tollege defeated Humboldt State college 79Vi to 52Vfe Saturday in I track meet here. The Red Raid ers took eight firsts and won de spite the fact that about half the sauad was missing because of Illness. WASHINGTON VICTOR Corvallis (U.R) The Uni versity of Washington ROTC rifle team won the annual Pow 11 trophy match here Saturday by one point. The Huskies beat lit Oregon State by piling up 1903 points. University of Idaho took a third with 1781. Gordon McAllister of Washington was high for individual scoring with 385 points. HUSKIES TRIUMPH Seattle (U.R) The Wash ington Huskies took all matches, without loss of a single set, to down the Idaho Vandals, 7-0, in a Northern Division tennis meet here Saturday. Navy Undecided on Disposal of 'Oregon' Washington (U.R) The Navy said today it hasn't de cided what to do about dispos ing of the old USS; Oregon. Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) had proposed that the battle ship, now a rusting hulk anch ored off Guam, be given a prop er burial at sea with patriotic ceremonies. Rear Adm. B. E. Manseau, acting chief of the Bureau of Ships, wrote Norblad that the Navy wasn't sure if scuttling the vessel at sea was legal. Manseau said he would let Norblad know what the Navy decides. The ship is due for disposal after July 23, unless some patriotic group volunteers to pay the cost of reclaiming her as an historic exhibit. Portland Student Victim of Attack r Portland (U.R) An 18-year-old Porand State college stu dent wa?"in a local hospital to day recovering from injuries and shock received when she was brutally and criminally at tacked late last night. The girl told police she was walking to her home from a bus stop shortly before miduight when a youth "between 17 and 21 years old" accosted her. The girl struggled with the youth, but lost consciousness. The victim received two black eyes, a broken nose, bruises and abrasions, and shock. Her purse was stolen by the attacker. "To begin with," little Char ley purportedly quoth, "it takes Rocky four or five rounds to fathom the style of an opponent Most topnotch fighters get a good idea of an opponent's style after a round or two. Marciano therefore looks crude in the ear ly moments of the fight." Goldman neglected to add that he wasn't questioning Marci- ano's brightness. Somehow, it seems, he should have. "Then again," Goldman's prose continues. "Rocky -is wild. He has a tendency to get excited and throw a lot of punches that never land. This explains why Rocky gets hit so often." Rocky does get hit often. But this usually is accepted as an oc cupational hazard in the busi ness of box fighting. The most important item centers around which warrior does the most damage or is in an upright posi tion when the gong sounds. Obviously the odds-makers do not believe that said battler will be Cockell. Champion Always Favorite Of course, it is most tradition al for the defending champion to be the favorite, as Rocky will be in this May 16 embroglio at San Francisco. But the Rock, himself, was an exception to this rule, as were such as Joe Louis and Max Baer. Marciano was the 5 to 9 choice when he belted out old Jersej Joe Walcott. Louis was 2 to 5 over Jimmy Braddock and Baer was favored over Camera. But the feverish efforts to bring down the odds and make this bout a "draw don t seem to figure in the current case. The "Rock" is not one of those "old men" over the hill who is depending on a reputation to carry him home. He is an eager, still-ambitious and hard-working man proud of the title and intent on retaining it. He has looked better in every fight and hits murderously. The odds aren't long enough yet. RELEASED by the Cardinals, Pitcher Vic Raschi, former Yan kee ace, Joins Kansas City Ath letics, saying he still has wins left in right arm. (International) Four in Family Die In Kerosene Explosion Sappho (U.R) This com munity on the Olympic Penin sula today mourned the deaths of four of its residents as a re sult of a home fire Friday. Mrs! Gladys Stepp, 24, died in King County hospital, Seattle, yesterday. . Her - four-year-old daughter, Patricia Ann, died in Children's Orthopedic hospital from burns Saturday. Six-year-old Roger Tepp died on the way to the Orthopedic hospital Fri day evening, and Patricia Ann's twin brother, Patrick, was kill ed outright by the blaze in the Stepp home here. Neighbors said Mrs. Stepp threw kerosene into a stove, ap parently thinking the fire was out. The kerosene exploded, showering the young mother and her children with flames. Two other children, John, 8, and Sharon, 3, suffered minor burns.

Range Conservation Importaant in Area's Economic Structure (Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles being published this week in connection with Conservation of Natural Resources week. May 1 to 7.) By W. B. TUCKER County Extension Agent Range lands might generally be considered the non-cultivated lands . of , the area. Frequently those lands devoted to the pro duction of timber are classed as range lands principally because they may be grazed by domestic livestock. Here in Jackson county much of this timber land may be uti lized for grazing purposes as it is possible to combine forage production and forest tree pro duction at the same time. In general it will be more to the point to consider those areas that are primarily adapted to grass production rather than trees. Many Acres There are in excess of 150,000 acres of such grazing lands prii vately owned and a greater acreage of federally owned graz ing land in Jackson county. Con servation of grazing land could be defined as manaement to hold the .soil in place, maintain or improve its production capa city, contribute to the economy of the area by supplying forage for livestock, game and wildlife. and contribute to the recreation facilities of the area. To hold the soil in place it is necessary to have a rather close growing or dense growth of grass. Native and improved adapted varieties are used. To maintain stands of deep rooted perennial grasses and legumes. Maintenance of stands may re quire additional management practices such as controlled grazing so that these range gras ses and legumes may reach ma turity each season thereby per mitting the individual plants to store up food reserves to last thru adverse periods of drought, freezing temparrures or heavy snow and ice coatings. Controlled Grazing Controlled grazing r ay be recognized as "deferred" graz ing, rotated grazing and per mitting only -uch numbers of livestock on the area that will enable the forage crops to ex ceed the livestock's capacity to consume. The livestock operator may al so prevent livestock from con centrating on certain areas or from trailing over range areas constantly. The development of adequate watering places, the placing of salt stations and the so called "bedding out" system for sheep all tend to prevent trampingout of grasses. Management also includes the control of objectionable compet ing plants such as brush, non palatable and poisonous weeds. When these desirable grasses are maintained in a thrifty, vigorous growing condition, the encroach ment hazard of weeds and brush is reduced to a minimum. When weeds and brush appear in ever greater numbers it is one of the indicators of faulty manage ment. These grazing areas once were covered with grass. Man's mis- Bevan Blast Boosts British Election War London " (U.R) The tra ditional three-week period of po litical infighting before general elections opened officially to day, boosted considerably by a resounding blast from leftwing Labor Leader Aneurin Bevan. Bevan shattered the gentle manly calm of British politics yesterday by calling Prime Min ister Anthony Eden's Conserva tive party a "complacent, sat isfied, harmonious lot of mor ons" whose foreign policy is dic tated by Washington. Bevan's words signified that the skirmishing before the May 26 elections is over and that the main battle is underway. Hal lowed political custom decrees the main election campaign not start until three weeks before polling day. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday; 1 a. m. Monday for Monday; other days 5:30 previous day. Demo Leaders Seek Bread for Unemployed Washington (U.R) Demo cratic farm leaders sought to-! day to force the Eisenhower ad- i ministration to offer surplus gov- i ernment wheat to state relief agancies to provide free bread for the unemployed. Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.), said Democrats were ready to ram through the House Agri culture committee today a bill which would allow the Agri culture Department to reverse its stand against such donations. He said the bill would be act-! ed upon, barring a reversal of ; department policy at a commit- j tee hearing today. The commit- j tee invited Secretary of Agri-' culture Ezra T. Benson or Un dersecretary True D. Morse to i testify. .- J SSO WEED & FEED . . . double action in this dry applied compound - combining famous 2,4-D and grass food.

A surplus of grass cover acts as a cushion to break the force of beating rain or hail, acts as a sponge to absorb surplus water keeping it in the root zone, aids in increasing bacterial action that converts organic material to humus and carries plant food elements from the soil to the plants in useable solutions. j :' ' 3, " CLOSELY WATCHtD by Trainer Jim Fitzsimmons (right), Derby candidate Nashua Is guided from van at Belmont, N.
