Showing no bad effects from
the swollen right knee that has
bothered him during the spring
training, the 23-year-old, 20-
eame winner at last showed reg
ular-season form Wednesday
night as he pitched seven shut-

In baseball coach Art Thomp
son feels that his club is getting
its batting eye. The Eagles
scrimmaged against Prospect on
Tuesday with Dennis Boren
smashing a two-run homer and
Errol Tresham collecting a
double of doubles. The squad has

work on its diamond.

ing pitcher. With vets Gary For
an and Boren and sophomore
Bill Turner. Thompson feels he
has a strong mound crew.
In the Haywards the Eagles
have their eye on the title for
schools of 200 to 450 enroll
ment. Last year coach Stan
Smiths gang was nosed out for
first by Myrtle Point by five
sixths of a point. Wayne Christ
ian will aim at bettering his
Hayward record in the javelin
and should be a strong contend
er in the discus.
Other top contenders for
Eagle Point are Jack Greb,
sprinter, who was second in the
high jump at Eugene last year;
Bill and Ralph McClure in the
sprints and hurdles; Frank Ross
in sprints; Charles Pettegrew in
sprints, pole vault and broad

o con-
league and district 6 standings
Ashland has played two
ference tiffs so far, losing to
Grants Pass and to Crater. Med
ford dropped its loop opener to
Klamath Falls.
Coach John Kovenz already
has indicated that Ernie Tyler
may get the starting hill sum
mons for Medford with Tom
Lawrence, if he's ready, to go
in the second mix. Mark Fitch
is the No. 1 thrower from Coach
Snuffy Smith's Grizzlies and
should be well rested after the
Crater" mix last Monday.
- Alan McKinnis might get a
second game pitching call for
Ashland al'-hough he like Law
rence, went the five inning route
in Ashland's 1 to 0 jayvee vic
tory here yesterday. Other pos
sible Lithia twirlers are Leon
Bowlin and Pete Stempel.
Ashland has seven returning
lettermen. They are Jack Eb
erhart, Bowlin, Mark and Doug
Fitch, Dale Olson, Harvey Sor
ensan and Don Simpson. Last
year the Ashlanders started
strong in -he loop but Medford
won its last seven straight games
to gain the championship.
In the layvee scuffle yester
day the Grizzlies scored in the
first inning when Medford "com
bined" all three of its errors.
Duane Nelscn, who had walked,
crossed with the run.
Lawrence tossed good ball for
Medford, allowing only one hit,
a single by Brewer. He whiffed
five batters, walked three and
hit one. McKinnis was more ef
fective against Medford. While
he permitted a double by Dick
Monroe and a single by B o b
Pond, he struck out 10 batters
and walked just one.

WALTONIANS ACT
There was and interesting
discussion concerning the pro
posal of amending the present
law restricting the waters of
the Rogue river for industrial
purposes, at the regular meet
ing of Jackson County Chapt
er of the Isaac Walton league
held in the Jackson hotel last
Monday ' evening. The club
went on record as opposing
this amendment.
Contact was made subse
quent to this meeting with
some parties in favor of the
amendment to ascertain just
what was desired by it.
It would appear that the
mainreason for the proposal
was to avoid frightening away
interests which are or might
be in the future investigating
the Rogue valley as a possible
site for the establishment of
various types of industry.
It was reported that the
man who introduced the sub
ject spoke of a pulp plant as
one of these industries and of
course this really set up a hue
and cry for anyone who has
ever lived near or even driven
by such a plant has a difficult
time forgetting the odors
which permeate the surround
ing countryside, not taking
into consideration the large
amounts of water needed or
the detrimental effects of the
waste products on the river
and fish life.
It was felt that this refer
ence to a pulp plant should
never have been made.
NO DIFFICULTIES
When the question was asked
if the present law was causing
any difficulties it was admitted
that it was not at present time
but there was talk of the possi
bility that the city of Grants
Pass could shut off the supply
of water to a plywood plant, for
instance which seems very un
likely due to the economic situ
ation.
The . question was asked if
this amendment w e r e j put
through, would it make it possi
ble for some unwanted industry
to enter this open door and ser
iously hinder or deter the pres
ent fishery program. The answer
stated that it might be possible
but not probable because permis
sion would have to be obtained
from such agencies as the game
commission, the health depart
ment, the water resources board
and others. However there was
the possibility.
WELL-FOUNDED DECISION
From the foregoing, it would
appear that the decision of the
Isaak Walton chapter in op
posing this is well founded for
if the present law isn't caus
ing any difficulty and the
amendment might in the fu
ture cause an unwanted situa
tion there would seem to be
little use for it.
THINK TWICE
Anyone taking a serious look
at the level of the river last sum
mer would think twice before
proposing the taking of any ad
ditional water. What we need
first of all is a minimum flow
throughout the summer and some
thing which would keep the riv
er at a lower temperature.
