Izaak Waltonian President Urges
Anglers To Concentrate on Trying
To Catch Large Fish in Rogue
Hank DcVoss. president of the
Jackson County chapter of tha
Izaak Walton league, Wednes
day urged that fisherman use
methods and gear aimed at
catching the larger fish in the
Rogue river, thereby permitting
the smaller fish to grow and ma
ture for future angling.
He had in particular mind
the downstream migrating sal
mon and steelhead which re
turn to the river as big fish aft
er years in the ocean.
DeVoss, speaking at the noon
luncheon of Medford Kiwanians
at Rogue Valley Country club,
advocated the use of lighter
tackle as best means of getting
the wary big salmon to strike
while they are lying in the
deep holes in the river awaiting
the spawning period. He indicat
ed the opinion that it is not nec
essary to use tackle of weight
test heavier than the fish.
"Let's get the bigger fish out
of the river. Let's do it with
lighter tackle. Let s have a lot
of fun doing it," DeVoss re
marked. Need Screens
DeVoss. resident of Talent and
teacher in the Medford school
system, brought up his idea
about luring the bigger fish af
ter mentioning a recent sug
gestion for angling closure on
the middle Rogue to enable the
small salmon and steelhead to
down-migrate to the ocean. He
also stated that until the dams

The speaker, pointing to the
greater fishing pressure in this
area every year and the fewer
fish, described the variety of
fish which may be caught in
the lakes and streams of" this
area. He regarded Diamond
lake as potentially one of the
richest in the whole northwest
with its kamloops rainbow trout.
Although fishing luck at the
lake was poor at the start of the
season, there were possiblv 1
million trout in the lake, De
Voss stated. He attributed poor
catches to the fact that the
Kamloops were in their spawn
ing period and that the condi
tion of the fish was such that
anglers would not want them if
they did catch them. With ths
trout now in the final stages of
spawning, he forecast improve
ment in the Diamond lake fish
ing.
DeVoss told of the rainbow,
brook and brown trout in Fish
lake, rainbow in Lake of the
Woods, tin brook trout and Ko
kanee in Four Mile lake and th
native cutthroat and planted
rainbow in Willow Creek reser
voir. The Waltonian official spoke
of the spring chinook and steel
head in the Rogue as "very un
common fish" since so few
streams in the state have them.

the river and spawn, DeVoss

Oregon Water Skiing
Meet Opens Saturday
At Gardener Lake
Water skiing is the fastest
growing sport in the world to
day but is a neglected sport in
Oregon.
Those two points were brought
out by Lon Skinner, Medford.
as he spoke to Kiwanians at
at Rogue Valley Country club
yesterday concerning the forth
coming Oregon Water Ski cham

Most of the entrants from out
side this area will be in town
by sometime Friday. Others al
ready are on hand or were to

daily workouts at the lake east
of Medford. Barlow arrived here
Tuesday, bringing his boat.

250 Youths
In Baseball
Classes Here
Some 250 boys of school age
in the Medford district have
been attending the city school
system's baseball classes at the
senior high school field and at
Hawthorne park this week.
John Kovenz, high school
diamond mentor and one of the
instructors for the summer ses
sion said that enrollment in
cludes approximately 40 cubs
and intermediates, 90 pee wees
and 120 sandblowers. Cubs and
intermediates are the oldest
group and sandblowers the
youngest.
Pee wees, cubs and intermed
iates on Southern Oregon Jun
ior league teams and sandblow
ers and pee wees living on the
west side of town have been in
classes at the high school. East
side sandblowers and pee wees
not on organized teams have
been getting instruction at the
city park. Players on the organ
ized squads have been reporting
at 10 a.m. and the others at

Duties Divided
Kovenz and Cliff McLean have
been giving the instruction at
Hawthorne and Frank Roelandt

It is planned to have a couple

Chicago tPI Rocky Castel

today because he fought Bobby
Boyd for 10 rounds and "put on
a good show for the television
fans."
Boyd, the 8-5 favorite, was
hard pressed all the way to win
a split decision, and when his
arm was raised most of the 1,772
fans booed lustily. Actually Cas
tellani had more points credited
to him than Boyd.
Referee Bernie W e i s s m a n
scored it 47-45 for Boyd and
Judge Frank Clark had it 47-46
for the winner, the same margin
as the United Press card. Judge
James McManus gave Castellani

Seals Win in 11 Innings;
Receive Aid From Portland
In Boosting Lead in PCL
By DON THACKREY
United Pies Sports Writer
The San Francisco Seals of
the Pacific Coast league are
like an illegal speakeasy they
do their best business after
hours.
The Seals engaged in their
ninth extra inning ball game of
the 1957 season Wednesday
night and won their ninth,
beating Los Angeles 6-5 in 11
frames.
With an assist from the boys
in Sacramento the win raised
the Seals' league lead to two
full games. Sacramento cooper
ated by dumping San Diego 5-3
in 10 frames and Portland
knocked off Vancouver 5-4 in
regulation time. Only Hollywood
stayed pat by beating Seattle
2-L
Jack Phillips and the Los
Angeles infield were the heroes
of the Seal victory. Phillips
drove in the winning run in the
11th and the Angel inner de
fense cooperated with four er
rors that made all the San Fran
cisco tallies of the unearned
variety.
Bilko Again
Steve Bilko earned the first
Angel run with a home, his 19th.
in the second inning after the
Seals had scored five tainted
counters in the top of the frame.
Then Jim Fridley did all that
could be asked of a pinch-hitter
in the Angel half of the seventh.
He hit a grand slam home run.
That brought the game down to
extra frames and set it up for
Leo Kiely to win his 10th in
relief as Glen Mickens took the
loss.
Milo Candini got credit for
the Sacramento win both offen
sively and defensively. His pitch
ing in relief was scoreless and
it was his single in the tenth
that drove in the two runs that
broke a 3-3 tie. Dolan Nichols
took the loss.
Leafs, Vees Pull

while Richmond had an easier
