(Torchy) Torrance, a prominent alumnus, Seattle- bus inessman, concessionaire and one of Washington's -main recruiters of athletes, admitted yesterday such a fund existed. He said it was used primarily to pay for transportation and expenses of prospective Husky athletes. Cherberg yesterday told a three-man legislative inquiry committee that one of the main reasons he was fired was "be cause Torrance was faced with the position of having to give up this so-called fund that he operates." . He accused Torrance of "eng ineering," the player revolt in which a majority of the squad protested Cherberg's coaching methods..

Wednesday, February 8; 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Is That So? For every living animal today, a thousand have perished. In discussing the problem of fossil digging with experts, here are some of the more unusual con clusions I was told. , The age of mammals has last ed for more than 60,000,000 years. And, surprisingly, many of the fossils of 35,000,000 years ago look very much like the skeletons of animals living today. In fact, our pronghom antelope, blue whale, manatee, and opos sum have changed precious little. In many instances, only an ex pert could spot the differences. The world's richest mammal fossil hunting grounds are in America and the greatest source of good mammalian specimens is among the arid and eroded Bad lands of our western states. Fossil Deposits The most amazing fossil de posit of all times, of course, is the La, Brea tar pits of Califor nia. Other world famous locali ties in North America, noted for the abuandance and perfection of fossil mammal speciments, are Big Bone Lick, Kentucky; Agate Springs, Nebraska; Peace Creek, Florida; the badlands of, South Dakota, and various areas in By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Wyoming, Colorado and other western states. Looking, at fragmentary re-; mains, fossil experts can draw some very "good and accurate conclusions.- The foot structure, for example, tells them how fast and how well the animal could move. The size of the tailbone in dicates the strength and possible use of the tail. And as for. the teeth which are' found as fossil evidence long after - other body parts have disintegrated because they are the hardest part of any animals bodythey indicate the creature's eating habits: what it ate,, how it caught its preyi and the manner , in which this food was consumed. However, experts are the first to admit that looking at a skele ton alone has some very definite shortcomings: for example, the. external appearance of whales and camels could not be deduced from their bone structure the whale's tremendous amount of blubber and the . camel's , hump, both made of tissue, are not sug gested."

Fish Yield Heavy St. Paul (U.R) Minnesota's lakes and streams yielded an es timated 25,000,000 pounds of fish to sportsmen last year. , In recent years the harvest has increased, despite more fish ing pressure, according to the conservation department. The answer lies partly in the de partment's " ambitious stocking and rescue and transfer" opera tions. . , - -. This year, approximately 280, 000,000 fish from hatchers and rearing ponds were stocked. An other activity is the transfer , of fish from pyerpopluated lakes to lakes which have had a partial winter-kill. Some 3,000,000 fish were rescued ; and transferred 1-this -year. , Annual bituminous coal out put s in Pennsylvania averages 100 million tons, and the state also produces about 30 million tons of anthracite. 4H Club News Busy Bees 4-H Club The last meeting was held at Sue Betts house.
