Trout Grow Well At Diamond Lake Portland Surveys conducted at Diamond lake by game com mission personnel show that the yearling rainbow trout planted in June have made excellent growth. Samples of fish obtained in late September ranged in size from 6 to 12 inches, a gain averaging 4V inches in the three-month period. All trout examined were in excellent con dition, deep bodied and fat.' The survey also disclosed sat isfactory growth and survival of the 350,000 rainbow fry released in August. Small trout, 2 to 2V inches in length were noted in abundance in shallow areas. Bottom samples taken at the same time of the survey show a satisfactory regrowth of aquatic vegetation and fish food organ isms. Diamond lake was treated with rotenone in the fall of 1954 to rid the lake of a tremendous population of roach which had infested the lake to the detri ment of the trout fishery. It is anticipated that excellent fish ing will be available in 1956 al though the fish will not have reached the large size formerly found in Diamond lake Lewis and Clark Grid Players Study Ballet Portland (U.R) A group of athletes at Lewis and Clark college, including several mem bers of the Pioneer football team are taking a . course in ballet o"ancing and officials agreed to day that the help in coordina tion offsets the ribbing the players take.

ASK US FOR A FREE DEMONSTRATION SEE FOR YOURSELF Black Tornado Will Aim To Eureka Logger Win Streak It will be 1954's situation in reverse plus a bit of coaching rivalry involved Friday night when Medf ord highs Black Tor dano opposes the Eureka, Calif., high football aggregation here. Last season Medford went to Humbodt county riding the crest of a six-game unbeaten streak and rated No. 1 Oregon prep team. That gave the Loggers something to work for in the way of prestige and the Eure- kans responded with a ' 12 to 7 verdict in the mud at Areata. This year Medford is an also ran in the ratings while the Cal ifornians are rumbling along with 16 straight triumphs behind them, five this year. It'li be Med ford facing a high-riding club this time and it is hoped the de sire to bust the Logger win string will provide incentive for a Tornado decision after two successive losses to Eureka. The Friday scuffle matches teams coached by former college teammates. Dick Renf ro of Eur reka was a back and Fred Spie gelberg of Medford was an end at Oregon State college. Renfro, with three or four seasons with the San Francisco Forty-Niners behind him, is successor to Jay Willard who last season finished 27 years at the Logger helm. Six Lettermen Six lettermen and junior var sity graduates make up the Eu reka squad this year. Despite the lack of veterans the Loggers have continued the success of the 1954 club which won all 10 of its conflicts. The ' 16-game string began with victory in the last contest of the 1953 season. Eureka started out with a 20 to 13 decision over its alumni this fall. Other triumphs were 32 to 12 over Fortuna, 30 to 13 over Areata and 39 to 6 and 25 to 6 over Del Norte (Crescent City).
