SMU Star Out 'Stilt1 in NCAA Tournament By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Big Jim Krebs of SMU, who outscored the great Bill Russell in last year's NCAA tournament, will be out to do the same thing to AU-American Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain of Kansas Friday night in this year's feature second-round game. Krebs, the greatest scorer in his school's history, outgunned "player of the year" Russell of San Francisco, 24-17, a year ago although he couldn't give SMU the victory. Kansas 21-2 is ranked the na tion s No. 2 team and SMU 21-3 is ranked No. 4. But Krebs and his Mustang mates will have the advantage of a home court to offset that slight difference in records. The winner will be fa vored to advance all the way to the final round. Here's how the other second rounders shaped up: At Philadelphia: Coach Mare Guley of Syracuse (17-6) la hop- RITES sponsible for a heavy toll on the river. In the old days, only the experts could . reach many of the really good spots with the exception of the boat fish ermen today even a rank novice can, with a few minutes practice fire his bait or lures all over the river. Veteran guides say that it is getting al most impossible to fish the river due to the bank full spin casters who practically make a network of their lines across the river. This is not to be construed as not favoring spin-fishing for I feel that this type of fishing has opened a whole new horizon to the average fisherman. But it does show additional pressure on our streams and lakes. Another well known and in creasing factor which is detri mental to the fishery is of course irrigation. Now it is readily recognized that we need the irri gation or much of the valley's land would be worthless but it does have two deleterious ef fects on the fishing, i.e. (1) In creases the temperature of the water and (2) carries chemicals from the fields into the stream. Both of these factors are harm ful to the propagation of fish life and take their toll. This problem was the same as that in the Sacramento river when it used to be so warm that it was useless for anything ex cept swimming. The steelhead and salmon runs all but disap peared and the river was full of trash fish. There was a hue and cry when the Shasta Dam was proposed. However, after it was put into use, it was found that the tem perature of the water fell to such a degree that it was too cold to swim in and, of course, the trash fish, who love warm water, disappeared to other climes and miracle of miracles the salmon and steelhead came back along with schools of large rainbow trout. Today they have some excellent fishing for these cold water fish and have their irrigation too. I do not know if a high dam on the Rogue would be the answer or not but serious thought might be given to this matter. Sometime ago. when a dam was proposed the valley divided into two violent camps. The fishing interests were against it and the land interests were lor it. fcacn seemed to have no thought for the benefit of the other. It seems that we should all realize that we need both fish and land. They are both crops which put dollars in our pockets. The tourist dollar is a nice clean dollar, not one that we trade back and forth among ourselves and it would seem that we should be vitally interested in getting more of them. There are thousands of dollars spent annually in trying to study out the declining fishery here in the valley and so far all that has been done is to lowenthe limit. I feel that it is time that we as southern Oregon citizens started some really constructive think ing or one of these day ours fish ing will have passed into obliv ion and our western heritage along with it. Remember we had no plant of steelhead at all in 1936! Brown Quits Beaver Post Portland (U.R) Clay Brown, preident of the Portland Beavers for the past few years, yesterday announced his retirement from the post. Brown was named president of the Pacific Coast League team when it became a community owned club. A successor will be elected at the next board of directors meeting, spokesmen said. In a statement.

Despite complaints that Marshfield "didn't play basketball" and ac cusation that Pirates went for the arms instead of the ball, im partial objective observation would point up that the Coos Bay team simply outsmarted and outplayed the Pelicans in their opening round game Wednesday morning in the Class A-l tour ney here. Marshfield played a stalling or ball control game' which hurt Klamath efforts to lay back in zone defense and grab rebounds on missed long shots by the Pirates. And it was damaging when a number of those cast by Roger Johnson went in. John son made seven of the 11 CB field goals. KF COULDN'T HIT Inability to hit the hoop and to hang on to the ball also was a blow to tha cause of Klamath which led 26 to 22 at one stage of the game. Tha Pels shot oftener but av eraged only .209 from the field while Marshfield con nected at .344 rate. KF was only 31 to 33 behind when Glenn Moore got a field bucket and free shot with 65 seconds to play. Gary Smith got a Pirate gifter in the final seconds. He missed the rim and hoop completely on his second shot and it appeared Klamath would have a chance. But a Pelican was whistled for being in the free lane too soon. Instead of a double vio lation and jump ball being called. Smith got another shot and made it. This boner by referees Pat . Patterson and Bill Gatch didn't set well with Pelican followers.

If he would examine the kit given the press at Mc Arthur court, he would find 32 appearances listed for "old" Sa lem high, and seven state crowns and 45 all-staters. All of these are tourney records. What Lightner doesn't men tion is that for many years Salem was host for the tournament, was automatically an entry and did not have to earn its way there. On a number of occasions the Vikings proved that they should be in the tourney by tak ing the title, once when they'd had a "losing" regular season. But Salem in those years could point to the state play-off and not have to wear itself down to get there.
