Newspaper Page Textf Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL cJ"o the angler or hiker who war. to get "away-back" southern Oreeon offers some of the best of the primitive back country. This country is so easily accessible and so beautiful that it is a wonder that more people do not know about it and avail themselves of it. During the summer when most of our streams and lakes are so crowded that you have to bring your own rock there lies, close by, trails on which you probably won't meet a soul all day and lakes that you can fish alone. By way of orientation, we here in the south end of the state are at the terminal point of the Pa cify Crest trail. This trail trav erse the very top of the Cascade attains and has its beginning Government Camp on the iMId slope of Mt. Hood. It is a m'.l kept and marked trail main nMk4 ky the various section of IK forest Service through which Teams Drill Pof Fridoy'i NCAA Frays gns City, Mo. U.V!)

"Their coaches are so jft-nse hSn they face us that their plaer ere not at their best."

Newell believes Art Day, the Dons' 6-9 sophomore center, will be a big factor in which, way the game goes. Stressing that Kansas has Wilt O amber la in and "he's the out standing player of the season," theOCalifornia coach said: "Day is capable of extending Wilt and he's a great jumper for rebounds. If he doesn't get the first tournament jitters and plays well it should be a whale of a game.

And there'sireom and comfort for the whole REES it passes. It is a trail that me anders from lake to lake, some series of which many times al most join but not quite. Breathtaking Scenery It is a long trail, as long as the state, and will vie with any part of the world for scenery. Breath taking scenes of the Three Sis ters, Mt. Jefferson, Three Fin gered Jack and our own Mt. Mc Loughlin line the way. It has well stocked lakes, many of them planted by plane and wildlife is abundant in some sections. I recently saw some pictures of a tremendous herd of elk feeding in a grassy glade. These great animals were so tame the photographers were able to get within 100 yards of them for their pictures. While the trail is long, the ac cess points are many, for it crosses or winds near many of our mountain passes and lakes which are reached by road. One such is Elk lake to the west of LaPine (south of Bend). Pack an imals are available here or the rugged sort can do his own pack ing for the 12 miles it takes to get into primitive country. Many parties hire two or three horses to carry the gear and walk. The basin, which is reached from this jump-off point, is full of lakes that yield marvelous fishing. Union Creek Trail South of Union creek is a trail that leads back into the high country. Men who have taken this trip many times say that the hike is only about eight miles and the fishing here is excellent. Another trail takes off som lit tle distance from Rocky Point on Klamath lake and here it is only about three miles from the end of the automobile road to the Pacific Crest trail. This lat ter section lies directly north of McLoughlin and the lakes here are so close together that six of them can be reached in less than two miles. Maps of all this country are available from the forest service and local inquiry will furnish the information as to the kind of fishing to expect and the best time to go. As most of these areas are high, it should be well into the last of June or July be fore undertaking it although some of the "can hardly waits" get there real early sometimes. Special attention to good hik ing boots and warm clothing should be given for the evenings and mornings can be on the oth er side of the crimpy side. A good sleeping bar or robe is a must unless you are one of those who can roll up in a blanket by a small fire and get by I can't! Light Rod Ideal A light rod of the.combination type is ideal. It will serve well for fly fishing and do equally well with a light spinning reel. Spinning tackle is a must for some likely looking places are sometimes hard to reach with out it. Flies usually run about the same, i.e., black gnat, mosquito (a must) and anything in the darker greys. Spinning lures should be in the 16 ounce class with any type of flash bait pro ducing along with weighted spin ners such as the nip, hep or moto. If you are looking for some new adventure this summer and don't want to roam too far from home, this is a good tip. You will find the lure of it is so strong once you have been up there that it will probably get feature billing on your summer's plans from now on.

Possibly because of the magic name of Ted Williams, about 50, 000 fans will see the games, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some local newsmen and base ball experts claim that this will prove once again that San Fran cisco and Los Angeles should be represented in the major league. Seek Juicy Gate Others claim that all this proves is that the major leagues just come to the West for these exhibition games to pick up juicy gate receipts. If the weather is good and the forecasters are doubtful about this the attendance will prove one thing: that Ted Wil liams is a bum prognosticator. "What do we want to go clear out to the West Coast for an ex hibition baseball game for?" Williams asked the other-day in Florida. "They don't draw crowds oit there." Matches Begin In North-South Pinehurst, N. C. (U.R) Tour ney veteran Marge Burns, of Greensboro. N. C, and two teen agers, Clifford Ann Creed .of Opelousas, La., and Ann Quast of Maryville, Wash., were heavy favorites to take opening-match rounds today in the 55th annual North and South Women's Ama teur golf championship. Miss Burns, playing her sev enth North and South, nicked par by one stroke Wednesday to take medalist honors. The North Carolinian put together wind battered nines of 37-36-73, in cluding an eagle three on the par five 14th, to edge the 106 pound Miss Creed and Anne Richardson of Columbus, Ohio, both with 75s. Of the 500 or more kinds of bats distributed throughout the world, the fruit bats, also known 'as flying foxes, are the largest.

The defending chamDion In America's greatest auto racing classic has had a tough eight months of it since the npar-fatal spill at Springfield just two and one-half months after he had annexed S9fi nnn i at Indianapolis. Itching To Gel Back "But I'm not eoine to civp nn the sport and I'm itching to get back into it," he said during a visit here as he prepared to act as technical advisor to the an nual Mobile Gas economv run from Los Angeles to Sun Val ley, Ida., starting April 14. "My wife loves racing and she knows that I love it. so she has brought no pressure to bear on me to quit the game. Flaherty is recovering from a broken left shoulder, broken jaw, crushed right arm and iractured skull. However, he doesn't believe the auto racing is exceptionally dangerous. Klamath County Advisory Group Sought by Bill Salem (U.R) Something must be done to halt the reduction of the deer population of Klam ath and Lake counties, Sen. Harry D. Boivin of Klamath Falls told the Senate game com mittee last night. Boivin spoke at a hearing at which representatives of sports men organizations from other parts of the state opposed two measures, Senate bill 156 and Senate point resolution 8. The measures call for $5000 for creation of an advisory com mittee to consult with the state game commission concerning all matters relating to deer hunting seasons in Klamath and Lake counties. Deschutes Alarmed Sen. Boivin said that Des chutes county also was becom ing alarmed at the decrease in deer population. They said the game commis sion is making a sincere effort to meet the problem but an ad visory committee familiar with the problems of the area might help halt the reduction in the deer population. ' Game commissioner J. H. Van Winkle said the commission leans on advice given it by biologists of the commission. "If the committee idea is put through," he said, "everyone will want an advisory commit tee. We might as well scrap the commission."

March 21, 1957 Braves Feel Theyil Go Whole Way This Year (This is the third in a cerilME on the 1957 prospects of the major league clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Bradenton, Fla. (U.R) The Milwaukee Braves feel this is the year they are going all the way. Wiping the memory of a dis appointing 1956 finish out of his mind, Manager Fred Haney is "very happy" about Milwaukee's prospects this year and says "there is a lot more determina tion among the players." Haney is convinced the Braves will win "if we get the same pitching we did last year. Per sonally, I feel it is going to be even better." That belief is based on the hope that big Gene Conley, who won only eight games last season because of 'shoulder trouble, will come back to his 1955 form when he won 11 games and seemed to be on his way to becoming one of the best right handers in the league. Four More Mound Stan As other starters the Braves are counting on Warren Spahn, who has had seven 20-game win ning seasons, more than any oth er left hander in National league history Bob Buhl an 18-game winner who specializes in beat ing Brooklyn; Lew Burdette, who won 19; and Ray Crone, who won 11. The Braves had trouble with their relief pitching last season because Dave Jolly and Ernie Johnson did not live up to ex pectations. Both seem to be sound again. Lefty Taylor Phillips and rightly Bob Trowbridge, both with the club last season, are sure to stick. The tenth spot on the pitching staff is a toss- up among Lou Sleater, Corky Valentine, the ex-Redleg; and Red Murff. Del Crandall, who fell off to .238 in hitting last year, will be the No. 1 catcher with Del Rice and the left-handed hitting Carl Sawatski behind him. Three Infielders Set Three of the infield spots are set big Joe Adcock at first. home run hitting Ed Mathews at third and pepper-pot Johnny Johnny Logan at short. Danny O'Connell, who hasn't lived up to expectations either in the field or at bat, is the lead ing candidate for second base. but Felix Mantilla, who was com. ing fast at the close of last season, could beat out O'Connell for the job. Haney is hoping that whichever one wins out, will develop into the lead-off hitter. National league batting king MOUNTIES RAP ANGELS Riverside, Calif.

But it's a wide open battle for the left field spot with Wes Covington and Bobby Thom son, the ex-Giant star, battling it out for the starting berth. The veteran Andy Pafko also is avail able for duty there, as well as pinch hitting chores. Sacramento Solons Point For PCL 1st Division Spot (This is another in a series of stories on the spring train ing camps of the Pacific Coast league baseball teams.) By ALEX KAHN Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) Sacramento, the only Pacific Coast league team without a ma jor league affiliation, will be no push-over for the rest of the clubs and is pointing for a first division berth this year, says Manager Tommy Heath. "Sure we have a lot of veter ans but we would have done bet ter than fifth last year if we could have gotten a little more hitting during a six-week road trip,' he points out. "This year we expect to do better and if I had to pick a spot for us, I'd say we would finish third." Heath says Sacrament o's pitching could be "fair -to real good" depending upon how quickly his veteran moundsmen get into playing condition. These include such old timers as Gene Bearden, the one-time Cleveland ace; Cloyd Boyer, Earl Harrist, Rex Jones, Rog Osenbaugh, Joe Stanks and Bud Watkins. But there are three youngsters in camp who could make the grade Marshall Bridges, Mike Coen and Car! Greene, the lat ter with a 21-JO record at Corpus Christi last year. Catching Prospects The Solons have only two fairly good catching prospects in John McNamara and Cuno Bar- ragan. They may need - help there. The infield is about half vet eran and half rookie, with play ing coach Chuck Stevens avail STARS NIP USC Anaheim, Calif. (U.R) The Hollywood Stars went after their fourth straight exhibition game victory today against the Portland Beavers. The Stars Wednesday edged the Univer sity of Southern California Trojans, 14-13. SOLONS KNOT PADRES Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) Sacra mento was scheduled to tangle today with the Los Angeles An gels in an exhibition game here. The Solons Wednesday battled San Diego to an 8-8 tie with the game called at the end of the 10th inning because neither team had any pitchers warmed up to go in.

Ray Bauer, left hander ob tained from Chicago via Los An geles, came on in the ninth in ning to save the game after Se attle filled the bases with none out on three walks , by Ron Georger. able, if necessary, to play at first. However, Heath thinks well of Russ Rosburg, up from Salem, Ore., of the Northwest league. Jerry Streeter has been working at second and Karl Heron, up from Amarillo, Tex., at third. Either Ray Webster, a rookie, or Ted Bell, may play shortstop. The infield is thin and the Sacs are shopping for help. Sacramento lost half of its entire outfield last year with only Jack Tobin and Al Heist returning. Rookie Bill Shields from Amarillo, where he hit .317, has been powering the ball in practice "and may stick. Another rookie who looks fairly good is Don Farber, just out of the armed forces. He had some previous experience trying out with Oakland. Lack of Power But there's not an experienced power hitter in the lot unless Shields can come through. Sac ramento feels it needs one or two men to bolster the outfield. "This Coast league is getting tougher every year and we know we'll have to get off to a good start and play well all the way to be contenders," Heath "said. "About all I can say now is that we expect to field a better team than we did last year." GRANTS PASS WRESTLING JOSEPHINE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS ARENA FRIDAY NITE MARCH 22 8:30 P.M.
