I'm more fatigued than I thought to be. Our "tour" arrived at Sydney last night and instead of going to bed, went to eat. By the time hotels were assigned, it was 3 a.m. So today. Old Bill ducked out on the tour and caught an early flight to Melbourne, in tending to be alert for the games. If you ever have an oppor tunity to watch a native Kava ceremony on Fiji, take it in. I recommend being an observer, not a participant. Darn near made the participant team and was saved only by some quick thinking and good footwork. We had four hours at Nandi on Fiji. About five carloads of us went to a native village for the cere mony. Sat on Mats The village was a nice grass clearing with thatched huts, a central meeting hut and a rustic Methodist church. The natives were dressed in grass skirts, palm or pineapple arm and leg bands and enough hair on their heads to stuff a sofa. The bulk of our party sat on mats on one side of the clearing with our tour director. Jack Dozier, and the queen on a small mat before us. Across the clear ing about 20 natives sat in a semicircle by a huge, beautiful wooden bowl. A rope with much ornamentation came from the bowl almost to the queen. One handsome native was obviously the ceremonialist, witch doctor, or maker of the brew. When all was quiet, a decorat ed native came out with a big jug and poured the milky Kava juice in the bowl. Then much ughing and hand clapping. Then another bearer brought a hemp mop which the brew master swished and scrubbed in the bowl, wrung it out by hand, then passed it to all the others for wringing then - back to No. 1. This happened three or four times and the party was ready. The first cocanut shell went to the queen, bowing, grunting and hand clapping. Next, Old Jack (Dozier) paid the price of being in front. Then another native and another American, etc. I thought, "Good thing we had all of those shots. As an official photographer I went to another clearing for pic tures of frangi pangi. VISITED DELLINGER Melbourne, Nov. 24 I assume the opening ceremony of the Olympics was more than ade quately covered by direct wire. That should be left to the ex perts. It was tremendously color ful. Before the ceremony, I hied the 15 miles to Olympic Village to see our team. Bill Dellinger looked real good. He had just finished a workout. Contrary to what the reporters said about his being beaten by 30 yards by Pirie, he was five yards from Pirie, and had gotten there from 70 yards back in the last lap. Bill has much more confidence, now. Calm Confidencs ' The American team has a sort of calm confidence that was in spiring to see Being around them, one could sort of feel the "electricity" flowing. They were ready and I anticipate tremen dous performance. The three largest teams (num bers) are USSR. USA , and Aus tralia. At the ceremony the Rus sians were half a head shorter than the tall Australians and Americans. And it was quite obvious. Husky, the Rusky, but short. People .department Night Detore fast, I had a Chinese din ner with Rube Ross and Don Smith families. Good visit. Met our own Jim Crakes, who helped coach Oregon track last year. Jim came by boat and was one of ftie last .ones through Suez. Crakes, Bill Johnson and I had lunch outside the stadium. We people in private homes are "fortunate. The people who got off the luxurious Mariposa moved into "flee bags." That will teach them that "all in this life is ngt pleasure." Funeral Slated For Alex Mayo Clifton, N.J. U.R) Funeral services will be held Wednesday for Alexander "Mayo, father of former .major league baseball player Eddie Mayo. The elder Mayo died of a heart attack at his home here Monday at the age of 81. His son, now a member of the Clif ton Board of Education, played with the New York Giants and Detroit Tigers during the 1930s and 1940s. Johnston Is Still Top Hoop Scorer New York XU.PJ Bob Pet tit of the St. Louis Hawks, the defending scoring champion in the National Basketball Associa tion, has started to close in on Philadelphia's Neil Johnston in the current race. Johnston remained in the first place during the past week, scor ing 83 points in four games for a total of 336. However, Pettit vaulted from fourth to second place by tallying 108 points in four games and now trails John stown by only nine points. Paul Arizin of Philadelphia took over third place with 315 points, including games played last Sunday, While Clyde Lov ellette of Minneapolis slipped from second to fourth with 285. Pettit remained the scoring average leader with a mark of 25.2 points per game compared to Johnston's 24.0 average. Randy Turpin 'King' Again Leicester, Eng. (U.R) Randy Turpin, former world middle weight champion, was a "king" again today. Turpin, who defeated Ray Sugar Robinson for the middle weight title in a startling upset in 1951, showed some of his for mer prowess in battering his way to the British light heavyweight championship Monday night over Alex Buxton. Turpin knocked Buxton to the canvas five times in the fifth round before the referee stepped in to call a halt to their sched uled 15-round bout at Grandy New York (U.R) Snowden Carter of the Baltimore Sun has won the Thoroughbred Racing association's 1956 award for the best racing news story of 1956, it was announced today. Carter's winning story was based on an account of the varied reactions at the barn of Kentucky Derby winner Needles.

Exclusive Full-Cushion Shock Absorbers ! e Straight out of SOC, Alumni Quintets Have Clash Ashland Coach Ted Schopf s Southern Oregon college hoop sters tip off the 1956-57 basket ball season here tonight against the strong Red Raider Alumni group. The Red and Black Raiders of the Rogue have been ' work ing out two weeks now and are eager to face the Alumni crew. Coach Schopf has limited his varsity roster to twenty play ers and a further cut is expect ed after the Alumni hassle. Bruce Penny, 6-5 freshman from Pasco, Wash., will be SOC's key offensive weapon. Schopf's tactics require a tall man to operate in the center slot, and Penny will have to be the answer if the Raiders are to have a successful season. Work ing with Penny up front will be Don Reese, a 6-2 junior from Grants Pass and Norman Oliva, a 6-3 freshman from Malin. Reese is a transfer from Gon zaga university where he let tered and Oliva was a "B" school all-stater for two years. ' Rounding out the probable starting quintet are Don Jacob son, 5-11 guard from Grafits Pass, and Dale Bates, three year letterman from Creswel, also 5-11. Bates would be the only SOC letterman to start for the rebuilding Red Raiders. Should Schopf have to rely on his bench to find a scoring punch, there are a number of players that could answer the call. At forwards there are Johnny Foust, Medford; Steve Ganong, Gold Beach, and Jay Reese and Charles Weller, Grants Pass. Backing up Penny at center are Dave D'Olivo of Klamath Falls and three year letterman Don Lowrance of Junction City. Fighting for the guard posi tion are seven other candidates, Al Christensen from Bend's Central Oregon Community col lege; Jim McAbee, Talent; Ray Johnson, Malin; Bob Nopp, Sa lem; Ron Owings. Klamath Falls; and lettermen Chuck Crandall, Coos Bay, and Ted Tenney, Ash land. Greeting Coach Schopf early last week were, 35 former hoop stars and four lettermen.

Hollingsworth last sea son led the Red Raiders in scor ing and shot a phenomenal 525 percentage from the floor and was named to the second all conference team as a forward. Maurer Helping Schopf will have Ron Maurer working with him as the assist ant coach this year, replacing Bob Smith who coached the JVs a year ago. The Red Raiders finished 3rd in the OCC and had a season record of 13 wins and 13 defeats. The SOC junior var sity team won 17 and lost 1. However, many of those jayvee stars aren't on hand this season to help out. Schopf, former coach of the University of Oregon Frosh and JVs as well as teams at the Great Lakes Naval Training center during the war, is starting his 10th season here. He directed prep teams at Chiloquin high in Klamath county, later mov ing to the head coaching duties at Washington high in Portland. His teams have had only one losing season here. In addition to his coaching duties. Coach Schopf teaches col lege classes in physical education and health education. He is very active in community organiza tions and has an active interest in all sporting events within the Southern Oregon area, devoting part of his time to high school officiating. Last year the Red Raiders had a good scrappy team and played good basketball against top flight opponents. This year coach Schopf has stated that the Raid ers will be doing right well for themselves if they can match last years 13-13 record. SOC un doubtedly will field about the greenest team in the OCC, and SOC will have its hands full trying to stay out of the cel lar. "Our players are Inexper ienced and very short on height. Unless we can have a tall man to operate our post position this fall, our Red Raiders are going to be hurting," he said After January 1, the Red Raid ers will play all of their home rations, roa BIG MERCURY for Tuesday, November 27, 1958 Salmon Group Seek Legislation To Cut Sports Fishermen's Take From Runs of Species in Ocean Coos Bay (U.R) The Oregon Salmon congress held .its first convention here Sunday and took steps aimed at curbing the take of some sports fishermen from the ocean salmon runs. The congress passed resolu tions urging legislation that would halt the practice of some sports fishermen of buying a commercial license to circum vent the two-fish sport landing law. One resolution passed by the group called for an increase in the license fees for commercial boats and individual fishing li censes. The resolution urged' fees be raised to $25 for both licenses. Present boat licenses are $15 and personal licenses are $15 and personal licenses $7.50. Propon ents of the resolution argued that the increased rates would discourage sports fishermen from buying the commercial licenses. Other recommendations of the conference games In the Ash land High school court, as the SOC gym is under repairs, and a new field house is being built to be ready for operation in the .fall of 1957. Lined up for the Red Raiders in non-conference tilts are Lin field, Chico State and Humboldt State. SOC will have a score to settle with each one of these op ponents, as they were on the football schedule and treated the Red and Black rather roughly this fall. Eastern Oregon, Ore gon college, Oregon Tech and Portland State are the confer ence opponents for the Raiders. vten youYe mhdri with Shasta you re mran MEDFORD (OREGON) group called for the sports fish- ing industry to share in the costs of the fish commission; that poundage fees be boosted from three-quarters of a cent on sal mon to one-cent per pound and that better methods of collecting the poundage fees be instituted; that all commercial fishing boats PEDIGREE m every jjl Proof Your first bottle tells yem that here's pedigreed. flavor that makes ilfis 8 man's bourbon different.
