Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
By MEL
Though somewhat delayed,
the salmon season finally start
ed to click and fish were picked
up all the way from Galice to
Savage Rapids. Although none
of the favorite areas produced
very many, the fish that were
taken were sea-fresh and ran
fairly large.
It took a woman to record
the largest fish so far in the
Grants Pass Sporting Goods an
nual derby. Mary Arnold of
Grants Pass, fishing Hansen's
board below Galice, landed a
36-pound whopper. This fish
should be right in the tally
when the finals are in.
Red Moore fishing the Sav
age rapids hooked three fish
last Sunday but only tamed one
of 30 pounds. Red said that one
of the fish broke his 105-pound
steel leader in his dash for free
dom some of those big ones
will throw a kink in most any
thing. f KLENT SIDES

prising track squad, which over
whelmed Idaho at Moscow last
fc-eek end, takes on stiffer oppo
sition here Saturday when It
meets Washington State in an
other northern division dual
meet. 'i "
The Beaver golf varsity wi'l
meet Oregon here Friday at the
Corvallis Country club, while
the OSC tennis team takes on
Oregon here Saturday.
Duane Marshall, sophomore
shotput ace, set an all - time
OSC mark of 52 feet V4 inch last
week, and 155-pound javelin
star Don Clay tossed the spear
206 feet to pace the Beaver at
tack last week. Both should
make strong bids for firsts Sat
urday, along with Tom Black-
stone and Ron Smart, discus
Earnel Durden, sprints; and
36enson Foley, pole vault.
OSC had fairly good strength
ik the field events, but is weak
in the distance races. One of
he most improved Beavers is
Cliff Cordy in the 880. He won

WORKING
on his 18th year with the Dean

who, after 15 years in the serv
ice management department, has
become outstanding in the sales
department through his knowl

customer loyalty has placed him
in the enviable position as hav

customers in the sales staff.
Should you desire having "Bob"

came in for their share.
This idea of what to use
has too violent sides. One
group maintains that a fish
will hit whatever happens to
be in front of his nose when
he decided to hit and the
other says that the fish is par
ticular. Take your choice. I
once saw a fellow land a

GOLD BEACH SO-SO '
The salmon fishing at Gold
Beach is only so 'n so according
to Johnny Wolf who has spent
the past 25 years watching 'em
come and go from his little
tackle shop.
I stopped In last Sunday to
visit with Johnny and he says
that most of the anglers are
local and that the fishing was
just beginning to pick up when
the river raised and stopped it.
I was intrigued at the salmon
philosophy handed out by
Johnny and some time in the
future will attempt to give the
jist of it of course lacking
Johnny's style in telling it.
HACKLES RAISED
Probably no statement in a
long, long time has raised the
hackles on so many fishermen
as-that made by Cole Rivers,
game commission fish biolo
gist, at a meeting of the
Rogue Rod and Gun club
about a week ago. Rivers is
reported to have said that it
may be necessary to close the
Applegate and the middle
Rogue rivers to all fishing in
order to build up the steel
head runs.
In a survey among leading
sportsmen of the valley the
following statements were
made:
"A great mistake was made
by Rivers in recommending
the opening of the Applegate
to steelheading it is one of
the best spawning areas for
the Rogue and too many
spawners are being taken."
"If thes game commission
hadn't been so lax in their
work for screens on Savage
Rapids dam, the 100,000 plus
young steelhead and salmon
which their biologists say are
chewed up each year could
have kept our runs up to
normal."
"Inasmuch ; as most of the
trout caught during this season
are young steelhead and salmon,
why not close the river to trout
fishing." (This one brought a
howl from the motel owners.)
"Move the boats off the river.
(For fishing purposes). If every
one fished from the shore, there
wouldn't be a percentage of the
fish now taken." (This one
brought a howl from the boat
fishermen.)
Between the howls and the
headaches there is no question
but that something needs to be
done and too much delay in
doing it may be somewhat dis
asterous for the local fishery.
It would seem at this point that
some unselfish but cooperative,
concerted action by local sports
men is needed now!

Pan-Am Games
Detroit (U.R) The city of
Cleveland was without hope to
day of bringing the long-sought
Pan-American Games home to its
thousands of track and field
fans.
Pan-American Games com

has formally awarded the Olym

Guatemala, following a decision
Wednesday by Cleveland Mayor
Anthony Celebreeze to vacate
