Dear John:
Last night at our poker club on of the fellows stated
you could buy a Golden Rocket 88 OLDS for about the
same price as one of the small three. I didn't believe him,
so this morning I went down to DARRELl MILLER CO. and
found out it was a fact. I am now the proud owner of an
83 OLDS Sedan and it cost only $3,328.72 ready to take
home and that included radio and heater, too.
e
For once the wife was happy I played cards with the
boys! Got the tip on Oldsmobile and won a couple of
bucks besides. By all means, John, get the deal on an
OLDS before you buy any car. See you at the golf tour
nament. Sinecrely yours.
p m. and varsities are billed for
an 8:15 p.m. tip off time.
Mentor Frank Roelandt of the
Tornado has indicated his ag
gregation will go into the series
with realization that the Comets,
with eight loop setbacks could
be "due" to turn the tide. And
the Mefordites will aim to delay
Crated ambitions for another

Race Tracks Pay
State Treasuries
Staggering Total
Lexington, Ky. (U.R) State
treasuries hauled in a record
total of $207,456,272 from horse
racing of all types in 1956, the
National Association of Slate
Racing commissioners announced
today.
The staggering total, ranging
from the $73,861,755 realized by
New York to the $75,881 collect
ed by Nebraska, represented an
increase of $20,466,684 over the
1955 total of $186,989,588 re
ported by the NASRC for its 24
members.
Thoroughbred racing was re
sponsible for the lion's share of
the staggering sum with a con
tribution of $164,062,687 to state
treasuries while harness racing
turned in $39,879,246 and quar
ter horse and fairs raised $3,514,-
339. These same sources raised
only $6,024,193 among them in
1934 when the NASRC issued its
first report.
SPORT CAR RUNS
Daytona Beach, Fla. (U.R)
More than 100 sports cars, in

day in "flying mile" runs in the

tition on Dayton s hard-packed

record of 164.24 miles per hour
held bv Bill Walters of Long

Harvey
Thursday, February 7. 1957
draws a bye as the loop's second
time around begins. That means
that Medford can, with two vic
tories, take over first by itself.
Nothing Speical
While the Tornado has been
hard at it this week, Roelandt
indicated that the Tornado has
prepping nothing special for the
Comets. Practices have followed
their regular form. The tutor
said that the likely starters are
Dick McLaughlin. Dick Copple.
Neil Plumly, Larry Perkins and
Dick Puhl.
Larry Slessler, who turned an
ankle in workouts last week, is
back with the squad. But Mike
Stearns, who cut his leg badly
in a tobogganing mishhap, is still
sidelined.
Nau said that the probable
Crater starters are Dick Davis,
Fred Herrmann, Randy Camp
bell. Wayne Allen and Joe Teet
er. The coach brought out that
Comets will have defensive eyes
much on McLaughlin, Copple
and Plumley on the basis of
their work in the league opener
series. Crater is experimenting
with several offenses which it is
hoped will work against Med
ford. The schools reported that the
Medford series with Grants Pass
and the Crater games with Klam
ath ending the regular slate
have been moved up to March
5 and 6. They were set for
March 8 and 9.
Chet Forte
Takes Over
Score Lead
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
The little man's day dawned
at last today in college basket
ball. Five-foot, nine-inch Chet (The
Jet) Forte of Columbia has taken
the national scoring leadership
away from seven-foot Wilt (The
Stilt) Chamberlain of Kansas on
the strength of a 36-point per
formance Wednesday night
against Yale.
Forte's brilliant showing was
not enough to save his team
from an upset, for Yale notched
a 103-87 decision to take undis
puted possession of second place
in the Ivy League.
But it did give the little Lion
an average of 30.2 points per
game, passing the 29.8 mark
held by Chamberlain who has
been No. 1 in the national scor
ing parade almost since the start
of the season.
Two Other Upsets
Forte notched only nine points
in the first half Wednesday
night, then got 26 in the second
half. But Larry Downs' 31 points
led Yale to victory.
Forte's feat took the national
spotlight despite two other ma
jor upsets, both featuring that
ol' devil zone defense.
Louisville, the nation's No. 6
team and highest-ranked inde
pendent squad, was handed its
second straight upset, 85-74, by
Morehead State of Kentucky and
Canisius, ranked No. 11 nation
ally, fell short in a late rally and
bowed to Marquette in a thriller
at Milwaukee; 81-80.
Canisius was so baffled by
Marquette's zone that it sank
only 31 of 90 shots, but even so
staged a superb rally that almost
wiped out a seven-point deficit
in the last minute. Six-eight
sophomore Mike Moran led Mar
quette with 34 points and soph
Jim McCoy had 23.

Kimpton, Moore Scoring
Leaders in SO Conference
Butch Kimpton, deadeye
guard, and Glenn Moore, tall
center, both of Klamath Falls,
lead Southern Oregon confer
ence basketball scoring. Klam
ath Falls offense rolled up the
most total points in the first half
of loop play and Ashland hoop-
men have yielded the fewest
scores.
Kimpton is leader in field
buckets with 49, in total tallies
with 143 and in per game aver
age with 17.9. Moore follows in
total points with 115 and in
average with 14.2.
The Pelicans of Klamath high
have run up 485 total points for
an eight-game average of 60.6.
Ashland has given up 339 points
for a low per game mark of 42.4
in the circuit. But the Grizzlies'
defensive mark is considerably
due to its ball control offense.
The Ashlanders 328 tabulation

Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
By MEL
Someone surely had it in lor
the Rogue fishermen last week
end. The river paid off in steady
limits right up to Saturday
then came the mud. There were
only showers locally but some
where up in the hills something
happened and both the Rogue
and the Applegate ran brown.
By Tuesday of this week the
river was in fishing shape .again
and the large run which was
"kegged" up in the Galice sec
tion had scattered all along the
river. Glen Woolridge, veteran
Rogue guide, reported that there
is a tremendous concentration of
fish at Agness. It is hoped that
these fish will start moving now
that the water has warmed up
and that they will be in this area
before the season closes Feb. 15.
The Smith river with the Mid
dle fork on the milky side and
the South fork clear and low is
in a dormant stage but the na
tives say that warmer weather
and water should move some
more schools in from the mouth.
The Chetco is a little slower
this week than it was last week
when according to Johnny He
witt's of Hewitt's Anchorage,
"She was really hot." The water
is in fine condition, the weather
is lovely and in spite of the re
ported "slower" the fishing is
still good.
Hard To Predict
The.!.- coast streams are hard
to predict because of the fact
that the fish run in schools and
sometimes will lie around the
mouth of the river for some days
then suddenly head upstream.
One day may be slow and the
next terrific. Usually at this time
of year, one can expect fair to
good fishing most of the time.
It has been a long time since
any one lure has taken over the
fishing like the little fluorescent
bodies Spinn Glo with its whirl
ing white wings. Many anglers
who have disliked the inconven
ience and messiness of cluster
eee fishing have welcomed this
new addition to the fishing fam
ily with enthusiasm.
I have had numerous requests
as to how to fish this little bug
so for the information of those
who haven't' become acquainted
vet. here it is
These lures come either in kit
form, three or four bodies with
a bead for each and necessary
hooks in a plastic box, o'r they
can be obtained in bulk with
just the bodies and beads. Use
your own favorite hooks.
A length of leader ranging
from 10 to 18 inches is tied to
the hook, slip the bead down to
the top of the hook for a bearing
and thread on the Spin n Glo.
Cast it and drift the bottom just
like a cluster of eggs.
Pick Up Like Bait
While reports come in that fish
have hit this lure like it was a

lure, most anglers say that they
pick it up just like bait and just
as lightly. My experience has
been of the latter variety and it
takes that delicate "feel" some
times to tell when the fish has
picked it up.
Some of the boys tie a regu
lar egg setup with the knot be
low the slash in the hook fish
eggs if desired detach the lead
er and slide on bead and lure and
fish the lure. This makes a quick
change over.
A notice has come to the sport
ing goods stores since last week's
column that the boxes which are
placed there to pick up the steel
head punch cards will be left
now until the middle of May in
order to pick up some of those
cards which do not come in till
the opening of trout season. This
will take care of part of the
"estimating" but it still leaves a
lot to be desired in the way of
accurate information.
The grapevine has it that cer
tain game department personnel
are becoming more dubious of
the feasibility of the system of
punch cards anyway. Maybe
there is relief in sight.
Any information desired by
sportsmen in this area relative
to tackle, lures, places to go and
conditions for camping, etc., can
be had by writing the column in
care of this paper. The informa
tion will either be given in the
column, if of general interest, or
the writer will answer the in
quiries by mail.
