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."

IS IT BREATHER?
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.
HEDRICK COLORS PICKED
Colors of athletic uniforms at
new Hedrick junior high will be
cardinal and gold. Those are the
colors of Willamette university
and University of Southern Cal
ifornia. Since ordering of ath
letic equipment couldn't await
start of school and choosing of
school colors by the student
body, the colors were picked
out by Lee Ragsdale, physical
ed supervisor for the- school sys
tem, and Barney Riggs, head
coach at Hedrick.
FIGHT RESPONSE GHE AT
Response of the public and
of various groups and individ
uals toward the Medford
Police Athletic Leagues big
fight card this week end has
been tremendous, police have
reported. There has been a big
advance sale of tickets,
amounting to several hundred
dollars. PAL officials are pre
dicting a sell-out, particularly
since the weather outlook is
bright for the Saturday night
outdoor card at the Medford
high stadium. There are still
good reserve seats left.
Crater Lions club members
and National Guardsmen will
set up the zing and arrange
seating for the fights, and
Guardsmen will operate the
concessions, with .those pro
ceeds going to their fund.

Fooflighfers Get Excellent Response To
Mrs. Wax Wimmer, president
of the Footlighters little theater
group, said she is "delighted" at
a terrific response to the organi
zation's appeal for talent for a
musical show to be presented
soon.
The event, "Footlighters Fan
tasies," will be given in the
newly-moved theater building at
the fairgrounds the evenings of
Oct. 12 through 15, she said.
Much Talent
"We have discovered a fabu
lous amount of talent," Mrs.
Wimmer said, "and it is most
gratifying that so many pros
pective participants have turned
out, as well as others who have
so generously offered their help
to get the show on the road."
The "Fantasies" will be a
musical review type of presenta
tion, Mrs. Wimmer explained. It
is a new departure in Footlight
ers presentations, and judging
by the public's reaction, will be
a highly successful one. Theme
planning, selection of acts and
script preparation is now under
way. Ray Lewis and Jerry Mac-
