St. Mary's Should Find IV Tough Foe St. Mary's hin's Crusaders, who had the statistical edt;e Sat urday nijiht when they dropped a football decision to Sacred Heart, may find the goinq even rougher this Friday when they travel to Cave Junction to meet the Illinois Valley acsresation. Prospects for the Cougars of the Illinois are much better than they were a year a;:o. Coach Gale Davis has an all veteran crew he can call on for back field service and he has sufficient lettermen for a complete line. On top of that the Couuars show ed their possibilities last week end with a 33 to 7 verdict over Yoncalla. Backs who are lettermen are T. J. Milliean, quarterback. Gary Meredith and Ken Lock hart, halfbacks, and Pete John son, fullback. In the line the vets are Mike Piller and Pat Siminetnn. ends. Ken Krauss and Eldo Swift, tackles. Ron Spencer and Jim Deaton, guards, and Ron Cherry, center. Against Yoncalla the Cousars were a driving, slashing team on offense and held the Eagles to minus yardage on defense in two periods. The IV pass defense, however, faltered at one stage. The "Eagles completed nine of 12 passing tries in their 77-yard push for their lone touchdown. 12 Football Clubs of SO Play Friday Second week end of prep football will be filled with ac tion for southern Oregon teams.

By HAL WOOD San Francisco U.R) The seeds of body building through athletics, planted on far-flung shores by such men as Bob Ma thias and Mai "Whitfield, are starting to bear fruit. Qazi Abdul Alim, a 24-year-old athlete from East Pakistan, is a living example. Qnzi is a visitor in the United States to get his masters degree in physical education at Uni versity of Oregon. He also hap pens to he the top decathlon man in all of East Pakistan which has 40.000,000 population. On top of thaf he is a champion soc cer player, plays some basket ball and at one time held a na tional boxing title. Big At 5-10' i At 24. Qazi stands five feet, 10' 2 inches, weighs 142 pounds much bigger than most men in his country. ' He holds a masters degree al ready in history and internation al relations. '"My ambition is to return to my native land to teach at the university," says Qazi. "I want to prove to the people that one can have a good mind and still encage in sports.'' He says that it has been the belief in his country down through the centuries that a good scholar never could or should encage in athletics. "They believe that a scholar should love his books that he should not be interested in the body." says Qazi. "I want to prove that they are wrong and that a scholar also can be an athlete." Bowerman Instructs Qazi learned much of his ath letic ability from studying books. "It was not until Bob Mathias and Mai Whitfield visited our country that I got professional instruction," he says. "Then along came Coach Bill Bower man from University of Oregon and he taught us more. ' As a result of these visits by the Americans, more persons in East Pakistan are learning to enjoy sports. It has been a wond erful thing for our country." Qazi Abdul Alim's marks in the declathlon wouldn't win a high school meet in this country possibly because of his slight build. He pole vaults 11 feet, 6 inches; puts the 16 - pound shot 31 feet, 5 inches; throws the dis cus only 93 feet and the javelin 144 feet. His best broad jump is 20 feet, 9V inches. And he runs the 100 meter dash in about 11 seconds. Read and Use Classified Ads ' GAUER NAMED BY EAGLES Hershey. Pa. (U.R) Charley !

The Cougars open their slate with a Jackson county B league fray at Rogue River on Sept. 21.

The wonder of birds is never ending. Take the nesting habits of the hornbill. Once courtship and mating are over, the female re tires to a hollow tree and seals herself into the chamber with an adobe-like substance made up of dung and- pellets of mud. These materials the male gath ers for her in the forest floor and swallows. Later, he expels them in the form of small saliva permeated pellets which he "hands" to the female who re mains inside the nest. She promply plasters them on the sides of the entrance. At last only a slit-like window remains which is just big enough to receive part of the bill. For the next six or eight weeks, the attentive and anxious male feeds the female through this opening. While incubating her white eggs, the female be gins a complete molt and for a time is flightless having lost all COUGARS DRILL DEFENSE Pullman, Wash.

Wednesday, September 12, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Planes Searching For Uranium Ores Spokane U.R) An aerial survey to locate possible uran ium deposits is being conducted in the Bend, Ore., area, Don Hetland, chief of the district of fice of the Atomic Energy com mission, said Tuesday. He said the AEC is trying to extend known uranium deposits by surveying areas which have not received a great deal of at tention from prospectors. The survey is being conducted by Pilot Tom Kocher and Geolo gist Dan Magleby, who are be ing a scintillometer. Results probably will be posted within a month, Hetland said. Aerial surveys of this type have been conducted in many parts of the West, chiefly in the Colorado plateau, but this is the first and last in the North west, Hetland said. He said the AEC was "pulling off aerial surveys entirely and that the work would be left in the hands of private industry. By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist wing and tail feathers. About a week or so before the young are ready to fly their prison, the female breaks her way out of the nest. Then, dressed in her fresh cloak of feathers, she helps her mate feed the young. But the wonder does not stop here: with an amazing display of instinct the babies left be hind immediately rebuild the entrance barrier themselves." Next, let's consider the honey guide. Its scientific name is In dicator indicator which ob viously means this bird points out something. And it does: it points out to man the nests of wild bees. This it does by con stantly chattering until it draws the traveler's attention; then it flies ahead until it reveals the hive. The African natives who profit by this behavior then usually break open the bees' nests and take the honey, leav ing some of the comb for the wild bird which it consumes avidly. It is difficult to believe that the bird reasons out this method of securing food, state the bird experts Dean Amadon and E. Thomas Gifliard. authors of the bird section of The Animal Kingdom (Greystone Press, N.Y.). Rather we should suppose that over a long period of time an instinctive type of behavior was developed with some four footed honey-eater, perhaps the honey badger and not man, serv ing as its original partner. Although most honey guides are partial to honeycomb, only one or two species have evolved this "guidinq" behavior.
