Down in the southeast region two bucg) deer were checked by game commission personnel dur ing the season that were already in the orocess of shedding their antlersP . In one case, one antler fell off,yhen the buck was shot, and the other came off when the Qdeer was loaded into a pickup true. The antlers of the second buck checked were loose from the skull at the time of the kill, being held toQthe skull only by the surrounding skin. Extreme care was used in loading this animal to keep from knocking the antlers completely loose from the head. , One more big buck was re ported take9i during the hunter's choice season that had no antler growth at all. In all probabil ity he had been passed up many times by hunters during the buck seasc-jx These are the earliest authen tic reports of Oregon deer shed ding their antlers.

Backboard rebounding got a lot of attention in Tornado drills Monday and Tuesday as the club tuned for tussles Friday against North Bend and Saturday against Marshfield. Plumley, 6 foot 4-inch junior, had the most retrieves in the drill last night. The mentor reported that Plum ley was used quite a bit in the drills and that it helped. Roelandt reported that posi tions on the starting five are still wide open. He indicated, however, that the Tornado is "coming along" in drills and ex pressed the feeling that the Med ford crew will make, a good showing of itself on the local senior high court against the coast area aggregations. It will take a while for the members of the squad to get used to each other and to find where they can help each other out, the coach stated. He added that the Tornado players are working hard and enthusiastical- iy. . Center Dick McLaughlin's leg is still taped up because of. the pulled muscle, Roelandt said. But McLaughlin is speeding up and "coming out of it pretty good." Both clubs from the Coos country are expected to give the Medfordites strong competition this week end. However, this season finds the North Bend Bulldogs lacking in height and stripped by graduation and transfer. Marshfield has a vet eran club back and is helped by transfer. North Bend has only three varsity men back and only one, Jack Shanley, was a regular. He has been a varsity guard for two seasons and is listed as a forward this year. The other two men are Bert Why and Sam Hyatt, both guards. The Bull dogs were hurt when a stand out player, Dick Woolstenhulme transferred to Roseburg this fall. Tallest man on the varsity ros ter is Bob Jacobsen, 6-1 sopho more forward. Only other 6-foot- er listed is Ken Carver, 6-even junior center. At Senior High Others on the club include Chuck Whittick, leading junior varsity scorer last season, and John Bloomquist, transfer from Molalla, good backboard man. Dennis Smith and Bill Rust are top prospects up from the jun ior varsity.

Derby, 3-Mile Limit Laws Go Into Effect Soon Portland Are you going to run a, salmon derby in 1956? Are you going fishing beyond the three-mile limit? Better check the regulations before you embark on either of these ventures. Two new laws pertaining to fish derbies arid salmon landings adopted by the Oregon Legislature during the last session . will become effec tive January 1, 1956. The fish derby law will limit individual fish derby awards to $25 or less in value. The law further provides that prizes must be "awards of merit in the form of a button, ribbon, em blem, plaque, or other trophy." Cash prizes and expensive mer chandise are ruled out. Bag Limit Only. The salmon landing law will prohibit anglers from importing salmon in excess of the bag limit set by the game commission for state waters. Specifically exempt are salmon taken in another state, territory, or foreign coun try. The law in practice will ap ply to anglers "bringing in sal mon taken outside the three mile limit off the Oregon coast. As is the case now, a license will not be required to angle for salmon beyond the three-mile limit. Within the three-mile limit a license is required.- Sports Broadcasts Radio station KYJC will carry the Gil Turner-Jack Labue fight tonight at 7:15 o'clock and KYJC and KMED will air the Southern Oregon Whittier college mix at 8 o'clock.
