Texan's Claim on
Elephant Kill Disputed
Hollywood iU.R) Archery
expert Howard Hill has disputed
a Texan's claim that he was the
first person to kill an elephant
with a bow and arrow.
Hill referred to recent reports
that William Negley, of Houston,
Tex., killed two African elep
hants as the result of a $10,000
bet.
"Of course, a Texan would
make the claim," Hill said. "He
(Negley) was reported to have
scored a first with elephants, but
I dropped not only two but three
during a movie safari to Africa
in 1950."
Hill, a native of Alabama, has
set out on many expeditions in
recent years from his San Fer
nando home. He said the proof
of his claim is in the movie
"Tembo," which was made in
Africa and shows him killing all
sorts of animals with a bow and
arrow.
Tenmile Lakes
Discussion Set
Coos Bay (U.R) Experts
from both the state game ana
fish departments are scheduled
to discuss the controversial pro
posal to poison Tenmile lakes at
a public hearing here Monday
night.
Sportsmen of this area have
strived for several years to have
the lakes poisoned to rid them
of warm water fish. The game
commission adopted a plan to
undertake the project this spring.
Vetoed Plan
The fish commission vetoed
the plan, however, contending
that the project needed more
study and that the game commis
sion could not act without its
approval in that the. waters also
contained migratory run fish.
An opinion rendered by At
torney General Robert Y. Thorn
ton upheld the fish commission's
stand and the project was
dropped pending further study.
COMES TO TERMS
Sah Francisco U.R) The
San Francisco Seals announced
yesterday that Bob Thollander,
a right headed pitcher who add
ed a knuckle ball to his reper
tory last season, has come to
terms with the club at its train-
i ing camp in Fullerton, Calif.

ans Administration hospitals and
domiciliary homes from coast to

NCAA West
Regional Has
No Favorite
Oregon State College, Corval-
lis Big annual college basket
ball show of the west the west
ern regional National Collegiate
Athletic Association champion
ships starts for the sixth con
secutive year at spacious Gill
Coliseum next Friday night, with
the oddsmakers completely
stumped as to whom to establish
as favorite.
For the first time in years, the
field is that closely matched. The
University of San Francisco was
heavy favorite to sweep each of
the last two tourneys, and after
winning here easily grabbed the
national crown a week later.
This time, it's simply a matter
of flip a coin and take your pick.
As matters now stand, three
clubs definitely are "in" for the
Corvallis affair. California's able
Bears will represent the Pacific
Coast conference, after their best
season since 1953 when they lost
to Washington and just missed
the playoff here. Fans who have
seen them play will tell you a
good representative they'll be.
Won Hard Way
And there s Brigham Young,
ruler of the mountain states
(Skyline) conference. The Cou
gars won their gonfalon the hard
way, but they won and will be
tough to handle here by anyone.
The third team definitely slated
to appear is USF, the defending
national champion, who clinch
ed the California Basketball As
sociation crown again.
Their record doesn't match
Don quints of the past two years,
but they still have a miehtv
potent outfit and could cause
anybody trouble on a good night.
The fourth slot will go to either j
Idaho State, the impressive
Rocky Mountain conference i
champion, or Texas Western, the
Border conference titlist. Those !
clubs go into a one-game playoff
at Idaho State's home domain in I
Pocatello next Monday night to
determine the Corvallis entry.
Friday night pairings senc1 USF
against either Idaho State or
Texas Western in the 7:30 p.m.
game, with California taking on
Brigham Young in the 9:30 p.m.
encounter. For the first time in
years, seats are available to ev
eryone, and can be purchased
over the counter or through the
mail at Gill Coliseum 103, Cor
vallis. Business Manager Jim
Barratt advises fans to purchase
tickets early, however. All seats
are reserved.
Seal Relief Staff Has
4 Former Big Leaguers
San Francisco (U.R) ' Old
hurlers never die they simply
fade away to the San Francisco
Seals, as witness the club's
new relief corps of Jim Kon'
stanty, Walt Masterson, Harry
Dorish and Duane Pillette.
They may be used up in the
big time, but Manager Joe Gor
don of the Coast league team
thinks his "age movement" will
give the pitching staff a ma
turity and balance which it lack
ed in 1956.
