Tech, one notch out of the Ore
gon Collegiate conference cellar,
was anything but a tailender
here last night as the Owls dom
inated every phase of the game
while drubbing Southern Ore
gon, 73 to 46.
- The Owls hit a 2-0 lead and
were never headed from there
on. Ted Fisher paced the scoring
with 17 for Oregon Tech while
Southern Oregon's ace point col
lectors were completely bottled
upas Lloyd Hoffine and Bill Hol
ingsworth, garnered only 7 and
6 points respectively.
Monmouth, Ore. -(U.R Ore
gon College, the fifth spoke in
a five-team wheel, rose up from
its cellar dwelling spot last
night to knock over front run
ning Portland State, 80-77, in
Oregon Collegiate conference
action.
The Wolve3, given little chance
to perform this feat, did it and
led most of the way in the pro
cess. After the count was knot
ted at 40-40 at the intermission
the Wolves worked themselves
Into a 61-51 advantage and
played it ball control the rest
of the distance.
The win came from the free
throw line as Portland hit 27
of the ' two-pointers while Ore
gon College was hitting only 26
of them. At the charity stripe
the Wolves added 28 points
While the Vikings picked up 23.

Seattle U.R) The Uni

portions of a major scandal, was
at the breaking point today.

The board of regents, itself
under scrutiny of a legislative
inquiry committee, was to meet
informally tonight, to discuss
the situation which began to fer

Husky football squad "revolted"
against Cherberg at the end of
the 1955 season.
Cassill's status was expected
to be a major issue before the
regents. -

pe'nses of prospective Washing
ton football players.
One of Schmidt's main duties
is policing the recruiting pro
grams of conference schools and
to determine when PCC rules
have been flaunted.
Fund Admitted ..
R. C. (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..
Cherberg said 28 players were
involved in the uprising but Uni
versity Vice-President H. P.
(Dick) Everest said there were
about 35.

Six-eight Jim , Krebs, tallest
man ever to play basketball for
Southern Methodist, posted a
new Southwest conference scor

he continued to boost the streak
ing Mustangs to new heights in
the court sport.

over Texas at Dallas.
The victory ,was the 11th
straight for the Mustangs, who

the United Press Board of
Coaches, their 17th overall
against only two, losses, and it
kept them atop the conference
with a perfect league mark of
7-0.

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." (Release by McClure

Minnesota Stream .
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. ,
