Rams Meet
Giant Eleven
In Portland
Portland The pros come
marching in for their concluding
appearance of the season next
Sunday night when the Los An
geles Rams and New York
Giants collide here at Multno
mah stadium at 8 p.m.
The Rams, off to a good start,
mod highly impressive in their
35 to 24 win over the Pittsburgh
teelers here three weeks ago,
will be bolstered with the addi
tion of little Tad Weed, the kick
ing specialist who won the all
star game in Chicago for the
collegians, and fourth other play
ers off of the all-star squad.
The quartet consists of Larry
Morris, Gorgia Tech center; Ron
Waller, Maryland halfback; Jim
Hanifin, California end; and Sid
r Fournot, LSU tackle.
New York Newcomers
o The Giants also will be helped
iii .with four newcomers from the
G all-star squad, including two,
o Roosevelt Grier, Penn State
Jj tackle, and Mel Triplett, Toledo
o fullback, who played important
roles in the collegiate win. Joe
Heap, Notre Dame halfback and
a tremendous pass catcher, and
Rex Boggan, Mississippi tackle,
also will perform against the
Rams.
'The Giants" will use a Veteran
backfield consisting of Charlie
Conerly at quarterback, Kyle
Rote and Frank Gifford at half
backs and Eddie Price at full
back. In support will be Don
Heinrich and Bobby Clatterbuck
at quarterback and Heap, Alex
Webster, Triplett and Larry
Weaver at running backs.
Quarterback Norm Van Brock
lin will be joined in the Ram
backfield by Skeet Quinlan and
Bob Boyd at halfbacks and
Tank Younger at fullback.
In case the game ends in a
tie there will be "sudden death"
overtime to determine the win
ner, an innovation for this game
along with a new sideline num
bering system of 0 to 100 being
introduced by Oregon Sports at
tractions. The game will not be televised
anywhere and will start at 8
p.m. Reserved set tickets are
on sal' here at the box office
qO at J. K
Gill.
Cascade Lakes
Getting Fish by
Aerial Planting
Portland Approxamately 350
high lakes of the Cascade moun
tains will be planted by aerial
lift this year in game commission
operations, according to Bob Bor-
ovicka, fishery biologist, Oregon
QGame Commission.
Aerial lift were under way
from the Fall River hatchery
where approximately 500,000
eastern brook and rainbow trout
were scheduled for planting in
the lake basin groups of the cen
tral Cascade area.
Last week fish were planted in
the south Cascade lakes from the
Klamath hatchery. Flying oper
ations were based at the airfield
near Klamath agency. Mount
Hood forest lakes will receive
their allocations later in the
month from the Hood River
hatchery near Dee. Operations
will stem from the Hood River
Qiir strip.
A piper super cub will be used
for all flying operations. The cub
is fitted with three 15-gallon bel
ly compartments which hold the
fish and water. Flying over a
lake at 200 to 250 feet, the com
partments are opened allowing
the fish and water to float down
like "rain drops." The 200 to
250-foot drop has no detrimental
effect upon the small fingerling
trout. .
One-fourth to one-half pound
of fish are carried per gallon of
water, depending on the size of
the fish. If fry are being planted,
one pound of fish per gallon of
water is usually carried.
Eugene Only
Unbeaten Team
In State Meet
Eugene, Ore. (U.R) Eugene
was alone in the unbeaten ranks
today on the strength of its 3-0
win over Oregon City in a win
ners' bracket contest in the state
softball playoffs here last night.
Corvallis defeated Bend, 7-1,
and Mill City nudged Sheridan,
3-2 in losers' bracket games. The
'losses dropped Bend and Sheri
dan from the double elimination
playoffs.
The Eugene win was paced by
pitcher Ron Willoughby, who
struck out nine while allowing
only two hits.
Corvallis and Mill City meet
tonight, and the game's winner
will meet Oregon City in a sec
ond game tonight for a berth in

QT Soffballers Face
Strong Opposition at
Fairgrounds Sunday
The Roeue Valley QTs girls
softball team will try the Hercu
lean task of beating two oppon
ents in one afternoon at fair
grounds baseball park here next
Sunday.
The OTs will play Durham,
Halif.. in the first game at 3 p.m.
and then will tackle the Orland
Eagletts in the second game. The
only between-game rest for the
QTs will come when the field is
being relined for the second
game.
It was at first planned to have
a fourth team to play Durham
but when an opponent could not
be found the QTs asked to take
on both teams.
Durham and the Eagletts are
members of the Sacramento Val
ley girls softball league. Durham
finished second and Orland was
third in regular season play. Oth
er teams in the league are Max
well, which won first place, Chi
co, Paradise, Princeton and Wil

placed four girls on the league
all-star team and Orland gave
some indication of its possible
strength last week when the

Washington State Loaded;
Looks For Fine Grid Year
(This is another in a series

Pullman, Wash. (U.R) A
Washington State eleven, loaded
with veteran lettermen, looks
for one of its best seasons in
years and Coach Al Kircher
thinks his Cougars may finish
among the top three in the PCC
standings.
If they don't, another long
victory drought is in sight beside
the banks of the Palouse.
The Cougars, as usual, have
to risk burying their season right
off the bat by 6pening against
Southern California in Los An
geles, and play UCLA in the
third game of their schedule.
Yet Kircher rates the 1955
slate as much easier than last
year's which saw the Cougars
finish up with a 4-6 record and
in a two-way tie for fifth in the
conference. Such brutal inter
sectional foes as Texas and Mich
igan State have been replaced
by Kansas and San Jose state.

Lewiston
Wins NWL
Twin Bill
By UNITED PRESS
The Lewiston Broncs, with
Gabby Williams leading the way,
sDoiled Wenatchee's chances of
joining idle Eugene at the top
of the Northwest league stand
ings last night.
The Idaho club bumped the
Chiefs, 14-4 and 6-5, in one set
of a round of doubleheaders in
the class B circuit. In the other
twin bills, Salem and Tri-City
split, with Salem winning the
opener 5-1, and Tri-City taking
the second game, 4-2; and Yaki
ma' beat Spokane 7-5 in 10 in
nings. In an exhibition nightcap,
Spokane was beaten, 2-1, by
Fairchild Air Force base.
Williams was the particular
pain to the Chiefs. He drove in
four runs with his two hits in
the seven-inning opener. Pitch
er Dick Dodel got credit for the
victory.
In the second game, Williams
rapped a key double in the
Broncs' big eighth inning when
five runs crossed the plate. Clint
Lee was the winner in that one.
Four unearned runs spelled
the difference in the short game
at Kennewick. Ron King got
credit for his sixth win for Sa
lem, against one loss. Duane Hel
big and Eddie Holden blasted
home runs to account for the
Tri-City victory margin in the
nightcap.
Lee Maye tripled home the
winning run and scored a clin
cher himself in the 10th inning
to give Yakima its win at Spo
kane. Gunnari have been through the
mill against the likes of Texas,
Michigan State, Ohio State, and
Baylor. The line is deep in ex
perience if not manpower and
Bob Miller, who will battle Den
nis Rath for the fullback - slot
is a good triple threat man.
Only six lettermen are gone
and the biggest gap was left by
Duke Washington, the swift full
back. Kircher rates his current
backs, with the exception of left
half Jim Hagerty, as '-'quick"
but not fast.

Kabler Into
2nd Round
Of NWAGT
Charlotte, N.C. U.R) Two
17-year-olds from the - North
woods turned the National Wom
en's Amateur Golf tournament
today into a teen-age neighbor
hood tangle for the second
round.
Anne Quast of Marysville,
Wash., and Carole Jo Kabler of
Sutherlin, Ore., drew the at
tention from the older heads ex
pected to finally fight it out to
ward the title round four days
hence.
Miss Quast pulled the biggest
of several upsets on the first day
of the tournament, trouncing
Mrs. Grace Demoss Smith, a Cur
tiss Cupper from Coral Gables,
Fla., 3 and 1.
Not even the luck of the blind
draw figured that one, which
put the apple-cheeked Washing
ton miss up against Miss Kabler,
the blonde who won the National
Junior Miss golf title only last
week. Carole Jo defeated Naomi
Venable of Poughkeepsie, N.Y.,
6 and 5.
There was asehtimental side
light, 'not to mention a consider
able upset, in the open round
when Mrs. Harrison Klippin of
Ardmore, Pa., bounded former
British champion Marlene Stew
art of Fonthill, Canada, one up.
The Dalles Wins
In Legion Meet
Hastings, Neb. U.R) The
Dalles, Ore., exploded for seven
runs in the seventh inning last
night to defeat Lincoln, Neb.,
9-6, in the opening game of the
American Legion Sectional base
ball tourney here.
The Dalles overcame a 4-2 Lin
coln lead with the big inning,
which included a triple steal. Pat
Foley stole home on the play.
It was only the second loss in
34 games for tne Lincoln club,
which was off its usual form de
fensively with nine errors.

Major Leagues Resume Action
Today; Twin-Bill Rained Out
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
The key to first place will be
in the cellar tonight in the
keeping of the last-place Balti
more Orioles.
"Frankly, I don't give a hang
whether Cleveland, Chicago or
New York wins the pennant if
we can't win it ourselves," says
Baltimore Manager Paul Rich
ards. But tonight, anyway, Richards'
Orioles - will determine which
club shall lead the American
League. Here's why:
The White Sox are a half-game
out of first place but they can
take over the top rung by two
percentage points if they sweep
a twi-night doubleheader with
the lowly Orioles tonight. The
pacesetting Yankees, who meet
the Tigers in a night game, can't
do a thing about stopping Chi
cago even if they beat Detroit.
Richards, who left the White
Sox at the end of last year to
come to Baltimore, thinks Chi
cago "has the necessary pitch
ing to win the pennant," but he
doesn't intend to make it easy
for his old ball club.
Orioles Troublesome
The Orioles have given the
White Sox as much, if not more,
trouble than any other club in
the league this season and Rich
ards says there's liable to be a
lot more in store for them.
Marty Marion, who succeeded
Richards as White Sox manager,
has nominated Virgil Trucks
and Sandy Consuegra for to
night's tell-tale twin-bill while
Erv Palica and George Zuverink
will pitch for Baltimore.
The Yankees, who just swept
three games in a row from the
Orioles, will rest their hopes on
fastballer Bob Turley against
Tiger rookie Frank Lary.

Winter Sports Areas
Attract 658,650 Fans
Portland A total of 658,650
winter sports visitors were at
tracted to the winter sports areas
on the 18 national forests of Ore
gon and Washington during the
past season accordingn to fig
ures just compiled by the U. S.
forest service. This represents
a gain of about 57,000 more vis
itors than the previous season
and is approximately a 10 per
cent increase. .
Winter sports use has been
coming to the front rapidly in
the last few years. It is now the
third largest recreational use of
the national forest recreation
areas, surpassed only by camp
ing and picnicking use.
Most all of the major winter
sports areas saw increased use
with the exception of Timber
line lodge area on Mt. Hood Na
tional forest. The decrease in
use at Timberline was caused
by its closing for a portion of
the winter sports season because
of a change of operators. Its re
opening in July, 1955, with plans
for additional uphill ski lift fa
cilities should result in even
greater use for that area during
the coming season..

Dodgers List 3
Areas For Move
Brooklyn - (U.R) The
Brooklyn Dodgers listed three
areas near Brooklyn today as
possible future sites for their
team, but the Los Angeles City
Council made a pitch to have
the Dodgers transferred across
the country.
"We want to stay in Brook
lyn," insisted Dodger President
Walter O'Malley. "We will go
nowhere else if there is a chance
to stay there." '
But, with efforts to line up
city help in obtaining a suitable
stadium site in Brooklyn appar-
fently slowed down, O'Malley said
that the team would' consider
as possible sites if Brooklyn
is out neighboring Queens
and Nassau counties on Long
Island, and Jersey City next sea
son was discussed by O'Malley,
Jersey City Mayor Bernard J.
Berry, and other officials Mon
day. It is hanging fire while
engineers study the cost of ren
ovating Jersey City's Roosevelt
stadium for the game.
In Los Angeles, however, the
City Council invited both' the
Dodgers and the New York
Giants to look toward Los An
geles if they want a new home.
Migratory Bird
Flights Lengthy
Portland Migratory birdi)
make some long and strangi
flights between their summer
and winter homes, according to
Chet Kebbe, chief of furbearer
and waterfowl, Oregon Gam
Commission. Band returns have
shown that in some instanced
these flights have entailed dis
tances of 5,000 miles or more.
Of special interest to Oregon
hunters are the several thousand
waterfowl banded each year at
the management areas of the Or
egon Game Commission.
Of the many returns by hunt
ers, several of these birds were
long range travelers who pre
ferred the Mexican climate in
which to spend the winters.
A male pintail banded at Sum
mer lake in August of 1953 was
taken by a hunter in February,
1955 at Matamoros, Mexico, lo
cated on the Gulf of Mexico, a
distance of some 2,000 mjjcs
from the point of banding.
Another long range tourist '
was a cinnamon teal also banded
at Summer lake in August of
1953 who preferred lower Cali
fornia for its wintering home.
The birds was shot in February
of 1955 at Hardy river, Mexi-
cali, Baja California, about 1,200
miles from Summer lake.
The long range flyer, however,
was a coot. Banded at Summer
lake in August of 1954, the bird
was shot near Ameca, Jalisco,
Mexico, which is south of Mexico
City, a flight of close to 2,500
miles.
