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!

again has been a tournament
'bust" in basketball. 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.

IT'S IN THE BOOKS
Al Lightner, sports editor of
Salem's Oregon Statesman calls
the state tournament record
book "lousy" because, he says,
it fails to credit Salem for hav
ing some of the finest records
in Oregon prepdom s hoop ex
travaganza. 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.
