Mick Talks
Over Salary
With Weiss
Br MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Mickey Mantle and Yankee
General Manager George Weiss,
having dispensed with the pre-,
liminaries. settle down to brass
tacks today and if the site of
their salary talk is a factor, the
young slugger is a 560,000 cinch
to get what he's asking.
Weiss and Yankee co-owner
Del Webb will be among those
present when Mantle is honored
as "Man of the Year" by Sport
magazine today. Weiss has in
dicated he will begin "heavy
negotiations."
Each speaker at the ceremony
will get up and praise Mickey to
the sky. Then it will be Weiss'
turn to speak about Mantle's
baseball virtues. What can he
possibly say? "the bum can't
hit a curve ball."
Mantle stacks up as the Yan
kees' biggest financial headache
but two more of their players
who aren't fixing to budge until
they're offered more money are
Don Perfect Game Larsen and
Bob Grim.
Yanks Sign Two
Latest Yankee players to sign
were shortstop Gil McDougald
and first baseman Joe Collins,
each of whom agreed to terms
Wednesday after receiving
raises.
The Yankees, however, aren't
the only club with salary prob
lems. Southpaw Warren Spahn and
outfielder Hank Aaron both are
asking for more money from the
Milwaukee Braves. Spahn, a 20
game winner last year, left Mil
waukee for his home in Hart
sborne. Okla., Wednesday after
explaining he got "nowhere" in
his salary discussions.
The Detroit Tigers admit they
"haven't heard a word" from
southpaw Billy Hoeft. another
20-game winner, and Cleveland
General Manager Hank Green
berg failed in his effort to sign
Early Wynn, still another mem
ber of the 20-victory circle.
AntonelH Wants Mora
Slugging Roy Sievers, last
man to sign with the Washing
ton Senators a year ago. appears
in no hurry to sign this year,
either, and southpaw Johnny
Antonelli feels he deserves more
from the Giants.
Kansas City signed outfielder
Lou Skizas. who led the club in
batting with a .316 average last
year.
The White Sox announced they
have 21 men under contract with
the acceptance of terms by
Dear Mary:
George and I just bought a new 1957 OLDSMOBILE
GOLDEN ROCKET 88 from Darrell Miller and are we
thrilled. We had no idea we could own this wonderful
car for so little. Actually our Olds costs less than the so
called low priced car we almost bought. I can truthfully
say I have never driven a car with so much comfort and
power and so easy to handle.
You and George must try that new Olds before you
buy your next ear.
I will pick you up on Saturday and let you drive
our cor to the bridge party.
Love,
Ruth

TornadoGrants Pass
Tussle Here Saturday
A Grants Pass high basketball
aggregation with much young
blood which holds promise for
the future oppose the Medford
Black Tornado in this week's
Southern Oregon conference
competition.
The Cavemen meet Medford
here on Friday night and the
two clubs collide at Grants Pass
on Saturday. There will be 6:30
p.m. junior varsity games prior
to each 8:15 p.m. varsity
scramble.
So far this season, the Cave
men, who stand third in the
A-l circuit, haven't compiled a
glittering record. And the Black
Tornado, defending champion
and co-leader in the current
chase will be favored. But the
Medfordites will go into the se
ries with the awareness that
GP hoopmen have been coming
along good and could hit their
stride and break loose at any
time. Juniors Numerous
Coach Ray Davis has at least
four seniors on his GP squad
who see considerable but juniors
predominate among those on the
squad who see most service and
there is one sophomore who
sees much action. That indicated
promise for the future.
A senior who could be in
the starting crew is Larry Hen
derson, 6-5, center now in his
third varsity season. Jim Smith,
6-IV2, junior guard and leading
scorer of the Cavemen, is an
other who is almost certain to
have a starting assignment and
a third who could get opening
call is Mike Sparlin, 6 -even
junior guard or forward, who
is second in GP scoring totals.
After these its pretty much
a toss-up as to whom Davis will
call upon. It may depend on
whether he plans a running or
ball-control game. Senior possi
bilities are Gary Tompkins. 5-11,
Bruce Marks, 6-2' 2, and Larry
Walker, 6-3 2. Juniors from
whom the coach may pick are
Chuck Rembert, 5-11, Pete Proc
tor, 5-9, Paul Lindquist, 6-1,
and Bob Fowler, 6-2. Jerry Put
nam, 6-3, is a sophomore, who
has been a starter.

On Ring Card
Ashland An outstanding pro

prospect for the junior high
school gym here Saturday night,
according to the Ashland March
of Dimes committee, sponsors of
the program.
Three newcomers to southern
Oregon wresting, plus another
widely known hereabouts for his
slam-bang action, make up the
card. The main event will pair
Yogi Hussane, who has been
seen many times In Medford,
against Felix von Luchner, Ger

Von Luchner is a scientific

the card at 8:30 p.m. Jerry Hunt
er, world lady's champion, will
referee the tag affair and all
matches will be for one hour or
two out of three falls.
Following the last match, pies
will be auctioned at ringside and
buyers will have the opportu

of the wrestlers of their choice.
NIT Heads Seek
Sleeper Quints
New York ,(U.R) The Na
tional Invitation tournament,
once the nation's premier post
season basketball event, was
shopping around today for
"sleeper" teams to combat
fierce competition from the
NCAA championship.
West Virginia Tech's 100-point-
per- game sharpshooters
(16-1), Texas Southern's Negro
NAIA champions (19-1), unbeat
en St. Peter's of New Jersey (12
0), Memphis State (15-3) and
little Brandeis (13-2) were among
the teams unofficially mention
ed to jazz up the field for the
20th annual NIT.
The bulk of the 12-team field
again will be the strong East
ern independents, including the
three top metropolitan schools,
Manhattan (9-4), St. John's (8-4)
and Seton Hall (10-6).
Canisius (14-2), Syracuse (10
3), St. Joseph's of Philadelphia
(11-3), Duquesne (10-5), Temple
(9-5) and Lafayette (13-3) are
other strong Eastern teams that
the NIT will try to lure away
from the NCAA tournament.
For intersectional appeal, NIT
officials are anxious to corral
Seattle with its 18-2 record. Two
berths probably will be left open
for the runnersup in the Sky
line and Missouri Valley conferences.

JOHN MARSHALL
Car Wreck Injuries Fatal
Auto Crash
Takes Life
Of Nafator
Melbourne, Australia (U.R)
John Marshall, the swimming
star who was an Olympic com
petitor for Australia and set
world records, was mourned to
day by athletes the world over.
Marshall, 26, died Wednesday
without ever emerging from the
coma he entered when he suffer
ed head injuries in an autot
accident last Thursday. Doctors
operated on him four times in
a vain effort to save his life.
Marshall's death came just
two months after he had repre
sented Australia in the Olympic
Games for the third time. Al
though he won medals in the
1948 games in London and the
1952 games in Helsinki, Finland,
this time he was attempting a
comeback from shoulder bursitis
that had forced him to quit two
years ago and the best he could
do was a fifth place in the 200
meter butterfly.
Marshall's best competitive
years were at Yale, because
from 1950 through 1954 he
smashed world freestyle records
a grand total of 28 times. In
1950 alone, he surpassed world
record figures more than a dozen
times and during his career set
marks at distances from 200
meters to one mile.
Prospect,
Talent in
B Limelight
Principal interest in the Jack
son County B Basketball league
on Friday will be centered at
Talent where the Bulldogs are
host to Prospect high.
Prospect will be out to hold
its unmarred leadership in the
circuit but will be up against a
club which beat it twice in De
cember in non-league1 action.
Other B games take second
place Butte Falls to Jacksonville
and third spot St Mary's of
Medford to Rogue River. In
week . end non-loop contention
St. Mary's will be host Sunday
to Sacred Heart of Klamath
Falls.
When Prospect met Talent at
Prospect earlier this month, the
Cougars of the mountain area
nicked the Bulldogs 52 to 51.
However, in pi e-conference
warming up Talent whacked the
Cougars 58 to 48 and 64 to 42.
For Prospect this Friday
Coach Wes Stauffer is expected
to call on his usual starting five,
Jim and Leo Daniels, Don Van
nice, Jim Davidson and Dave
Gardner. Coach George Bray of
Talent may choose from among
Mel Wallace, Phil Combs, Ron
Welburn, Terry Hazelton, Bob
Hoffman and Fred Helm.
Fullmer Cancels
Portland Fight
Portland KU.R) A cut eye
sustained by Middleweight
Champ Gene Fullmer has forced
cancellation of his scheduled
fight here on Feb. 28, according
to Promoter Tommy Moyer.
Moyer said Fullmer suffered
the cut in his Monday night
fight with Wilf Greaves at Salt
Lake City. The champion's man
ager said he hoped to book Full
mer for a bout in Portland after
his scheduled title-fight with
Sugar Ray Robinson.
Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
By MEL
The cold weather has placed
all the steelhead streams in the
low and clear class with the re
sult that the fishing has been
very hot or very cold depend
ing on whether one was lucky
enough to pick a hole which had
a school of fish "kegged" up.
With the cold water (the
Rogue had chunks of ice float
ing in it) the fish do not move
very fast, preferring to lie in
the deeper holes. In this con
nection it might be well to add
that in spite of this well publi
cized characteristic plenty of
fish have been boated and caught
from shore in the past three
days which were hooked in six
to eight feet of water hooked
in the end of a medium fast
run.
None Unusually Large
While many of the fish are
very bright there are an equal
number that show signs of hav
ing been in the river for some
time and the egg roe in many of
the does was very mature. No
unusually large fish have been
reported but limits in the eight
to 10-pound. class are fairly com
mon. Cluster eggs, Spin n Glo and
Oakie Drifter still have top
tilling for steelhead fare but
the time tested flatfish had a
field day on the Illinois the first
part of the week. Patterns of
flatfish favored the fluorescent,
orange and yellow.
Predictions
Indications point to the fol
lowing predictions for the week
end:
The Rogue, a big run of fish
was in the Galice area the first
part of the week and should be
in the Robertson bridge area by
the week end. How fast they
move will depend on how much
the water warms. This run
should scatter out so that fish
ing will be generally good all
along the river.
The Applegate, which Is pro
ducing some nice fish now should
benefit from this new run.
The Smith will maintain Its
level from the snow runoff but
the fish will probably be
bunched and it will be well to
fish several spots rather than
waiting in one place if it is un
productive.
The Chetco is reported good
both on the lower river and in
the deep holes on the upper
river drift.
The Umpqua has been slow
for the past week with fishing
very spotty. A big improvement
is looked for here because it is
the right time of year for a
really large run to come in. It
will probably be still slow for
this week end.
Punchcard Dissatisfies
There is an increasing amount
of dissatisfaction current among
Rogue valley fishermen concern
ing the use of the salmon and
steelhead punchcard.
This streamside bookkeeping
system was originally promoted
and instituted by the game com
mission in the hopes that it
would furnish an accurate check
of the number of fish taken, to
assist in the carrying out of
various enterprises in the fish
ery and to give an index of fish
ing pressure.
A majority of the fishermen
feel that it should be dispensed
with for they point out that it
is not doing the job it was sup
posed to, due to various factors.
Reasons Listed
Some of the reasons are:
(1) Only steelhead over 20
inches require the punch card
this makes the final account
very inaccurate as to the. num

ber taken.
(2) Visiting sportsmen, fishing
with guides take a large num
ber of fish they are not re
quired to turn in their cards
(a very difficult and impossible
thing to enforce) and conse
quently there is no record in
the final, count of the fish they
took.
(3) The punch cards are re
quired to be in the boxes placed
in the sporting goods stores' by
February 15. These boxes are
picked up before the trout sea
son license rush which occurs
in April. Many anglers never
get their licenses until just be
fore trout season and therefore
do not turn in their cards in
time to get into the tally. Soma
stores report literally dozens of
cards which come in late show
ing reports of fish that have

From the sportsmen's view
point it can be readily seen
that it seems useless to force
him to keep records which do
not accomplish the thing for
which they were intended. It
only makes him trouble and can
be costly if he should forget to
punch the card when he has
landed a fish.
Some time ago it was pointed
out to a game department em
ployee the above fallacies in
the card system. He stated that
there was a statistician at Ore
gon State college who estimated
the numbers of fish taken by
tourists, the number that were
on cards not turned in and
the number which were caught
but not accounted for on the
cards when he compiled his re
ports. The pood fishermen wonders
if they are going to estimate
or guess anyway why not do
it from the beginning and save
him the trouble of punching
the card.
Pro Football
Draft To Be
Completed
Philadelphia U.R) The Na
tional Football league resumed
its draft of college players to
day but with one eye cocked on
benefit proposals by the new
NFL Players Assn., including a
$5,000 minimum salary.
The draft, begun last Novem
ber with the selection of a bonus
choice and four players by each
team, will be completed at the
opening of the league's two-day,
mid-year meeting. Each of the
12 member teams has 26 choices
to go.
Requests of the players asso
carrion are high on the meet
agenda. A series of proposals
set forth by the association, aft
er representative Kyle Rote and
Norm Van Brocklin met with
Commissioner Bert Bell, sought
a minimum salaryfor gridderi
on the NFL selection lists and a
salary guarantee for injured
players.
The players' group also sug
gested a shorter training period
and training camp expenses,
and expressed the belief profes
sional football is best served by
its current method of selecting
college players, now under fire.
The group further recommended
retention of the option clause in
player contracts.
Brazil is the only country in
South America in which Portu
guese is the native and oificial
language.
