Coach Frank Roelandt this week has had Medfordites work ing against the possible offense Klamath may use.

Teammate Willie Naulls was sec ond with an average of23 points a game, followed by Oregon State's promising sophomore, Dave Gambee, with 21. Southern California center Jack Lovrich set a new confer ence record for field goals when he connected on seven-out-of-seven (old record: seven-out-of-eight, Stan Christie, USC, 1950) and took over the leadership in the field goal department. Bill Bauscher of Idaho grab bed the lead from the free-throw line with a perfect 100 per. cent on 14 points in as many at tempts.

SNOW AT GAME SITE Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy (U.R; After 24 straight days of sunshine, snow - nearly two feet of it ' came to this Olym pic Winter Games site today. Flood Control Backed By Ixaak Waltonians Members of the Jackson Coun ty chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America favor control of floods in the Rogue river ba sin along with many other or ganizations, groups and individ uals in the valley. That strong sentiment and stand was evidenced last night during consideration at a chap ter meeting of a proposed reso lution to actively support and promote efforts on the part of various agencies in controlling floods. Action on the resolution was tabled until a committee, prob ably of directors, has time to stujiy it and determine its exact weeding. But the feeling of members, favoring steps protect ing against inundations by the Rogue and its tributaries, was expressed in the discussion. No one spoke out against flood con trol. President Norton Smith stressed that Waltonians are just as interested in the matter as anybody. But he pointed out that the organization is looking out for the interests of the fishery which has considerable econom ic value to the area. The Izaak Walton league has been subject to some criticism but various spokesmen at the meeting at the Hight Real Estate office voiced the feeling that such criticism has been unjust. They expressed support for "proper" flood control meas ures. The proposed resolution pre sented by Col. Paul Weiland, state IWL director and' a past president of the county chapter, called for particular backing of the soil conservation service and the farmers of basin. He fa vored the SCS plan of control by surface treatment, impound ment of runoff water in deten tion' reservoirs and automatic release and regulation of water to keep it from overflowing banks below. Surface treatment includes methods to produce in soak of water into the soil. Loggers Rap Jacksonville Jacksonville Jacksonville had had the field goaling edge but Butte Falls high piled up a huge margin at the free throw line here last night to whip the Redskins 72 to 48 in a non-counting basketbal game between the two Jackson County B league members. The Loggers put in 34 out of 46 free shot attempts while Jacksonville collected only eight for 26 tries. Jacksonville had 20 field goals to the Loggers' 19. The Redskins had the lead a couple times in the first quarter and once in the second but Butte Falls pulled away in the second half. Period scores all favored the Loggers 13 to 12, 36 to 24 and 51 to 34. Bill Irwin had 28 points for Butte Falls while Pat Conley got 15. Norm Pawlowski had' 16 and Bob Guches 14 for Jackson ville. The 'Skins showed spirit and hustle and improvement despite the setback. Butte Falls won the jayvee conflict 72 to 28. LINE-UPS: Butte Falls 72 48 Jacksonville B.Irwin 28 f 3 Allen P.

Weiland also pointed to the need for so-called dry dams, empty dams, for controlling floods rather than the full dams required for multipurpose uses. Izaak Walton league opposi tion to Plan A in 1948 for de velopment of basin water re sources was' outlined. It was pointed out that the high dam proposed would have destroyed spawning beds and could result in making stream flow below very low. There was less objec tion by the IWL at the time to Plan B which eliminated the high dam proposed at Lewis creek. It was also mentioaed that plan C actually had its birth in the IWL and was, vir tually the same as the current Talent reclamation project. Whether the chapter should support flood control efforts or just a survey to see what was needed was discussed also last night and fear was expressed that the surveys being asked would result , in" just another plan for a high dam. Necessity of the cooperation of all interests in the valley in order to get action was brought out. It was said unfortunate that the chapter has not been brought into resolutions pre pared by other groups here. Rogue Rod and Gun club, Grants Pass, has been included by groups in its area and has passed a survey resolution. Waltonians were told that some of the old advocates of Plan A are right in the back ground of present efforts. Angling Proposals Proposals to cut the Rogue trout season back to Oct. 1 from Oct. 31 and to reduce the steel head bag limit from three to two were .mentioned to the membership in other discussion. Possibility of cutting the Apple gate river winter steelhead sea son to Jan. 1 through 31 was also told. Also contemplated is the opening ' of Willow creek reservoir at the same time as Fish lake ' for trout . angling ahead of other Cascade lakes. Willow creek opening would represent an exception to late opening of lakes in national forests. The Oregon State Game com mission meets next Friday to draw up tentative angling regu lations. Chief Ted Werder of the Navy recruiting office showed a film on the Marine withdrawal from Chosin reservoir in Korea.

Council Favors Year More of Miami Probation By HAL WOOD Los Angeles U.R) The case of University of Miami's extend ed probationary, period was to come before the electorate at the NCAA convention today but the odds were 100 to 1 that the voters will back up the council in its decision. The NCAA council Tuesday voted to extend the period an other year because, it said, there were indications that the NCAA rules and regulations had not been complied with any better during the last year's probation ary period than it had in previ ous seasons. There were two main com plaints: . 1. The Eaton foundation to help finance the cost of educa tion for medical students and athletes. This group is' outside the sphere of influence of the university and only groups run by a college are eligible to help students financially. 2. The university apparently still was paying students excess funds for transportation, giving free trips home for athletes for Christmas, Easter and other vacations. was piled up by the Ducks who forged ahead 41-32 with nine minutes gone in the second half.
