Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
By MEL HEES
With the water low, clear and
cold the fishing on both the
Rogue and Applegate rivers this
past week was in the maybe
class. It is true that there were
main limits taken but in com-
parsion to the number of anglers
the success ratio was negligible
Tht reported large concentra
tion of fish at Agness has not
reached Rainy falls and it is
highly doubtful if they will cov
er the Rand area in time for the
last day of the season on the
Rogue which is tomorrow.
Most of the fish that have
been caught have been fresh run
and it is thought by veteran
river men that these fresh fish
break away from the main con
centration and migrate upstream
ahead. They have been very
scattered and hard to come by,
Illinois Bast
The Illinois has been the best
producer this past week. The
fish have been well - scattered
with no particular spot the best
fishing. The Swinging Bridge
area hasn't produced like it did
a week ago but plenty of fish
have been taken there.

World Series
In Football
Possibility
Philadelphia U.R) The Na
tional Football league and its
formerrch rival, the Canadian
Professional Football council,
looked today to a future that
might see a playoff meeting of
their respective champions.
Bert Bell, NFL cornmissioner,
and Ralph Cooper, Canadian
council president, met inform
ally here Wednesday to discuss
mutual CP r ob 1 e rS s, including
claims tocpfayer rights which
oft9 made the lea jum ceurt op
ponents. QThe upshot3 of the meeting
was agreement by th commis
sioners, frf pro football on the
North 'American continent that
there 'Sre "no major differ
ences, nothing which can't be
ironed out" facirfj the two loops.
Pre-Season Eevel
The two league directors
looked ahead to games at the
pre-sewson level.
"The last inter-league meet
ing was a gane between New
York and Ottawa in 1952," Coop
said. "But there's a good
chance of the teams playing
more and more games against
ea0i other in the future."
Bell agreed and also nodded
assent when it was suggested a
world series game between
champions of either league could
be a fact in the future.
"If Jhere were enough rule
changed, that might be possible,"
L Cooper said.
Japanese Battery
To Join Dodgers
At Spring Camp
Tokyo UR) The most prom
ising battery in Japan's two pro
fessional baseball leagues- will
join ,the Brooklyn Dodgers'
spring training camp at Vero
Beach, Florida, for one month,
it was announced today.
Fumitaro Watanabe, owner of
the Yomiuri Giants, told the
United Press that righthander
Sho Horiuchi, 21, and catcher
Shigeru Fujio. 22, sid Giants'
Manager Nobuyasu Mizuhara
will leave Tokyo by plane Feb.
26 to join the Dodgers in Flor
ida. The Dodgers, who played an
exhibition series here last fall,
were impressed with the sharp
overhand hooks of Horiuchi and
the splendid throwing arm of
Fujio.
Watanabe said the Dodgers
had offered to- sign Horiuchi
and Fujio to play for one year
with a triple "A" minor league
club in the U.S.
"But the Giants could not
spaPe the two in the 1957 sea
son which we expect will be a
tough one for us to repeat as
pennant winners," Watanabe
said. "They will be back in
Japan in time for the opening
of the Centra League season
on(Marchc5l."
local anglers Dick Niediermeyer,
John Mass and Ralph Clemens
limited there last week using
of all things No. 3 Nips in brass.
This is very interesting in view
of the lure used. Most fishermen
have been sticking to eggs, Spin
n Glos and Oakie Drifters but
this proves that it pays to change
now and then.
A fresh run hit the Smith
river last Saturday and Jim
Burnette and wife with Bruce
LathrOp landed 9 fish running
in the 10-12 pound class. Spin
n Glos turned the trick. By Sun
day the run had disappeared and
even the "locals" were scratch
ing. This writer in company
with Don Dillingham and Weir
Dixon of Grants Pass picked
up three but had to fish 9 spots
to do it.
The water on the Smith is
low and clear but these runs will
continue to come in now and
it only takes a bit of luck to
land right in the middle of one.
The Chetco is reported only
fair to good with fish scattered
all the way from the ocean to
the low water bridge. Cluster
eggs Spin n Glos and Wobbler
ites are the standard baits used
now.
All the southern Oregon
streams except the Rogue will
remain open till the close of
February.
It will be good news to many
trout anglers in the valley to
learn that Bolin lake will be
open this year. It was at first
reported that It would be closed
but on checking with Cole Riv
ers,, fish biologist for the game
commission in the Grants Pass
area, it was learned that it will
be opened.
Bonn was poisoned two years
ago to get rid of the bull heads
and catfish then restocked and
kept closed for a year. The fish
ing this year should be excel
lent. Recently, studies have been
made as to the importance of
the leader in winter steelhead
fishing. Most anglers have
thought that it didn't make too
much difference what length
the leader was but there is a
new trend of thought that it
makes a great deal. This past
season the difference between
a limit and no fish at all has
been proven to be the difference
between a leader 18 inches long
and one of 12 inches.
A compilation of the various
ideas, theories and experiments
adds up to the following which
should by no means be consider
ed conclusive but rather infor
mation which will serve as a
basis for further study.
When the water is low and
clear or if the fish are on the
move and are to be found in
relatively shallow water, the
leader should be from 14 to 24
inches in length to allow the
bait or lure to drift far enough
from the lead to avoid scaring
the fish.
On the other hand when the
water is murky or when the
water is so cold that the fish
are hugging the bottom in the
deepest holes it is necessary to
use short, leaders, say from 10
to 12 inches, in order to keep
the bait close to the bottom.
Longer leaders have a tendency
to float the bait to high and
the fish don't seem inclined to
go out of their way to take it.
Divided into seasons, general
ly, it might be stated that long
er leaders are called for dur
ing the fall or early season and
short leaders during the winter
or late season when the water
temperatures are much lower
and Jhe water conditions are not
so clear.

HOCKEY
NATIONAL LEAGUE
, By United Press
Things are looking up for the
Boston Bruins in the National
Hockey league race and all be
cause of rookie goalie Don
Simmons.
The Bruins, who have won
six of their last 10 games since
Simmons took over in the nets
for the retiring Terry Sawchuk,
battled to a 2-2 tie with the Tor
onta Maple Leafs Wednesday
night. The tie enabled the Bruins
to move into a second-place
deadlock with the Montreal
Canadiens, only four points
away from the pace-setting De
troit Red Wings.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
The Providence Reds have a
little more breathing room atop
the American Hockey league to
day because of a hot line.
The Bruce Cline-Ray Cyr-Ken
Davies line accounted for all
three scores as the Reds defeat
ed Buffalo, 3-1, in Wednesday
night's only game. Providence
now holds a four-point edge
over second-place Cleveland.
SEEKS SECOND IN ROW
New York (U.R) Ron Delan
ey of Ireland and Villanova, who
entered the national indoor mile
championship Wednesday, will
be shooting to become the first
runner since Glenn Cunningham
in 1938-39 to win the event two
years in a row. Except for Gil
Dodds. who won the race in 1942,
1944 and 1947, no other runner
has won the indoor mile more
than once in the last 18 years.

their home court. Phoenix tal
lied its victory, non-league, over
EP, at home at the start of the
season.
Works on Offense
Anticipating a zone defense
by Phoenix, Coach Art Thomp

Wayne Christian, Gary Foran,
Dennis Boren and Ron Veach.
Coach Jack Woodward may

Stengel Launches
Rookie School
By UNITED PRESS
Casey Stengel was back at
the old stand today, leading
Yankee ball players on the field
and not the least bit concerned
that four of his top pitchers are
balking at salary terms.
Stengel officially opened the
Yankees' rookie school at St.
Petersburg, Fla., and the varsity
batterymen are due to report
there to him in less than two
weeks.
Right now, though, Don (Per
fect Game) Larsen, Johnny
Kucks, Tommy Byrne and Tom
Sturdivant are among the 17
Yankee players who are un
signed. 24 Yanks Signed
The Yankees raised their
signed total to 24 when they an
nounced the receipt of contracts
from outfielders Norm Siebern
and Bob Martyn, both candi
dates for the left field job.
Vic Wertz, who came back
from a polio attack to lead the
Indians in slugging last year
with 32 homers and 106 runs
batted in, signed his contract for
an estimated $25,000.
Second baseman Nellie Fox,
who batted .296 with the White
Sox in 1956, agreed to terms
after receiving a slight raise
over last year's salary.
