Chet Forte fired and fell back,
O and now Wilt (The Stilt) Chamb
erlain opens his homestretch bid
for the national basketball scor
ing championship probably
needing 36 point per game to
do it.
Forte, the 5-9 Columbia star,
failed in his effort to over-take
front running Grady Wallace of
South Carolina Wednesday night
when he tallied only 24 points
in a 72-57 loss to Yale. The little
Lion thus dropped from second
to third in the hot five-man race, i
Wallace now leads wth 30.41
points per game, followed by Joe !
Gibbon of Mississippi at 29.38.
Forte at 29.26. Elgin Baylor of
Seattle at 29.13, and Chamber
lain at 29.00.
Wilt Needs 56 Points
The seven-foot Chamberlain,
going against Oklahoma A&M,
will be the only contender in ac
tion tonignt opening a arive
to regain the No. 1 spot that he
held season-long until the last
two weeks. It's almost impossible
for him to catch Wallace to
night he needs 56 points
and the Oklahoma Aggies, the
nation's best defensive team,
keep whole teams from scoring
that many points.
Fore went into Wednesday
night's game at New Haven,
Conn., needing 46 points to
catch Wallace and didn't come
close, although his 24 points took
game scoring honors. Yale, lead
ing all the way after zipping to
a 18-6 lead after five minutes,
took a tighter grip on first place
in the Ivy League race as
George Thompson led the way
with 19 points.
Anotlftr piece was fitted into
the tournament jigsaw Wednes
day night with the announce

time. The crowd will range be
tween 11,000 and a capacity
12,700 at the Cleveland Arena,
the promoter said. Ticket prices
range from $5 to S20.
Atkins has been pleasantly
surprised by the heavy sale for
this scheduled 15-round, nation
ally televised and broadcast bout.
It was originally slated for Jan.
18, but was postponed five weeks
because the champion suffered
a bruised right hand in training.
A postponement usually cuts
down the gate.
Cleveland had several previ
ous TV-radio bouts, but this is
the first time it ever had a local
blackout. Despite- it, the TV
radio money is S60.000.
Basilio of Chittenango, N. Y.,
is favored at 13-5 to register his
second victory over streamlined
Saxton in their series of three
title fights, despite the fact he
has been training with a tender
hand.
Saxton recaptured the 147
pound crown from Carmen on
a questionable decision, at Chi
cago, last March 14. But Basilio
won it back from Johnny on a
ninth-round TKO at Syracuse,
N. Y., last Sept. 12.
WILD BILL SAVAGE
. Meets Macera Again
Macera Takes On
Savage Again in
GP Ring Scrape
Grants Pass A capacity
crowd was on hand last Friday
at the Grants Pass Arena to see
the wrestling midgets. It more
than got their money's worth be
cause the main event between
popular Luigi Macera and Wild
Bill Savage erupted into a free
swinging brawl in which both
men suffered eye cuts.
The referee was unable to
stop it and had to call on sher
iff's deputies and other wres
tlers. After tempers cooled off a
little Macera and Savaef w"-e
signed for a "winner take all"
match for this Friday nigm at
the Grants Pass Fairgrounds
arena.
Savage drew the ire of the
fans and the commission when
he picked up a ringside stool
and hit Macera over the head
with it. He was warned that a
fine would result from any such
future actions.
Both men would like to get a
win in this one for the future
prestige as well as the added
money. Macera is the same hot
tempered Italian he used to be
and his added experience down
in Texas makes him a hard guy
to handle. Luigi speaks four dif
ferent languages and likes to
play golf as a hobby.
Savage, the ex navy champ
from Joliet, is a rough guy. Sav
age touched off a couple of
riots while wrestling in North
Bay, Onl., last summer and
seems to have no fear of any
thing. The one hour prelim will
match Perre De Glane, smooth
working Canadian, against the
rugged ex-boxer. Alex Perez.
Plenty of action is expected in
this one.

Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
By MEL
Reports from the fishing wars
this past week end seemed to
indicate that there was a dis
tinct separation between the
men and the boys, or the know
ers from the guessers or the
lucky from the unlucky at
any rate in between gripes about
no fish there were glowing tales
of "the best fishing I ever seen!"
After one pf the best, if not
the best, seasons seen on the
Rogue for several years, the
last couple of days found it mud
dy and very few fish taken. Us
ually during muddy water it is
only the extremely lucky that
happen to drop into some deep
hole where the fish are kegged
up and manage to fill the bag
most anglers feel that a period
like this is a good time to fix the
leak in the garage roof.
The Applegate this past week
has paid off with steady limits
to the boys who know where to
find them, but the success ratio
has been low due to the swarms
of fishermen who have fished
it. It is low and clear and light
lines and lighter leaders are the
answer.
Turned 15 Loose
Small Spin nGIo or small
clusters seem to do the trick al
though the story drifts in that a
fellow fishing single eggs land
ed a beauty the other day right
in front of an early-rising luck
less angler and asked the en
vious one if he wanted it. When
his generosity was refused he
gently released the hook with
the comment that he had turn
ed 15 of 'em loose already.
One authentic report from the
Illinois river stated that there
were only two fish caught in a
long area last Sunday while an
other said that in his section he
never saw so many and they
not only limited the whole party
but lost twice that many. These
two spots are only about one
mile apart so it can be seen
that the fish are there if one is
lucky enough to pick the right
area.
Fishing the Smith river Sun
day this writer landed three .
6-8-13 poundersi. The water was
in excellent condition but there
was almost a total absence of
fishermen. The fish were ex
tremely well scattered and it
was necessary to fish a long sec
tion of the stream in order to
limit.
Work Out Pockets
When the river is low and
clear and a definite run is not
coming through it seems best
to fish as much different water
