Fanfare Sportsmen throughout Ore gon will blossom out in red head gear on Friday, September 23, and it will be in the interest of better sportsmanship, respect 'for the rights and property of others, firearms safety, observ ance of game laws and preven tion of range and forest fires. Friday will be Red Hat Day, an educational project in which Oregon is pioneering. All of the state's hunters, an estimated 260,000 of them, are expected to give their pledge to be law abiding, to respect rights and property of others and to be careful with firearms. Those signing pledge cards will get red hat buttons. ANSWERS TO QUESTION Red Hat Day in Oregon ori ginated through the Portland chapter of the Izaak Walton League and may prove the an swer to a group of sportsmen' question, "What can we do to help assure better hunting in the future?" In addition lo the alarming Incidence of camper fires and the danger . of improperly handled fire arms these sports e men were concerned over re ports of vandalism by hunters, the "game hog" problem and the iendency of landowners to close their lands io all hunters when only a small percentage of those afield were to blame for damage to property and careless shooting.' . Better hunter-landowner re lations were seen as necessary and education of the public and particularly sportsmen on their outdoor responsibilities was recognized as one solu tion to the problem. The Portland Waltonians re- ceived endorsement of nearly very major group in the state and got enthusiastic response from Gov. Paul Patterson. The governor appointed a five nan committee to promote the plan through the state. That committee set the September 23 dale. MAY BECOME NATIONWIDE Red Hat Day is a means rather than an end. Its success and value will be determined by how huntsmen conduct them selves throughout the season to ' follow. If the project accom plishes its objective, Red Hat Day may be adoptea on a na tionwide basis. Oregon hunters are on the spot. Their conduct the effect of Red Hat Day on it will be watched by sportsmen throughout the country. . ; MAXIMUM ATTENTION Participants in Red Hal Day will wear their hats to their places of work and on the streets, attracting a maximum of attention both to the day and its purposes. Friday is eight days before the opening of general deer season. Ob servance that far ahead per mits hunters to participate In their communities before taking off on extended trips in search of deer. MEDFORDITES SHINE The two Medford men on the University of Oregon football quad, Norm Chapman and Jack Morris, both sophomores, cer tainly did their share, accord ing to all reports, in the Web- foots 14 to 13 win over Utah, Chapman, a center, played about half the game, was in on a lot of ' tackles and participated in the last quarter goal line stand. Morris's "educated" toe , pro vided two vital extra points. He drew praise for his blocking as well as his ball-carrying. Sports Editor L. H. Gregory in his Port land Oregonian column re marked, "One kid deserving some flowers: Jack Morris, . . . for his blocking. He whams them. His blocking was the dif ference on those end runs."

The Ashland Tidings states, "The Grizzlies get a kind of a breather next (this) week against P h o e n i x." Ashland's footballers may be surprised if they're expecting any sort of a breather. The Grizzlies are fav orites but Coach Jack Wood ward's Phoenix Pirates can be tough. Ashland edged out a 13 to 6 decision last year. INJURIES HAMPER Southern Oregon Confer ence teams took a trouncing all the way around last week end when Gresham beat Med ford 13 to 0, Roseburg downed Ashland 21 to 7, Eugene whacked Klamath Falls 13 to 6 and North Bend jumped on Grants Pass 19 io 6. But at least three of the ' clubs lay some of the blame io injuries. Klamath Falls had its "go guy" -in the line, Modesto Jim inez, sidelined by a knee in jury and Donn Taucher, a quarterback, was ' hobbling with a bum knee. Taucher car ried the ball only once against Eugene in scrimmage plays. Grants Pass cripples were Al len Drews, back, and Arnold Slaven, all-state tackle. And Medford, of course, was minus services of Mel' Morgan, tackle, and Mike Hawkins and John Bellack, backs.
