Rogue River Salmon Yield Totals 9,640 Portland Anglers fishing for salmon and steelhead during the 1956 calendar year really knock ed them dead according to final catch statistics compiled by the Oregon game commission. The salmon catch took a big leap above any comparative year, while the steelhead showed a moderate catch increase. Grand total showed some 239,604 salm on and steelhead taken during the 1956 season. Total number of salmon taken was 155,759 fish. The 1954 salm on catch stood at 97,550, while the 1955 catch was 82,342. The 1955 catch figure, however, cov ered only a 9-month period from April 1 to December 31, while the 1954 and 1956 figures cover an entire 12-month period. The increase of approximately 55 to 60 thousand salmon can prob ably be attributed to the im proved angling methods which have been developed during the Pc.st two seasons. 83,845 Steelhead Total steelhead catch number ed 83,845 fish as compared to 73,546 in 1954 and 59,287 in 1955. Again the 1955 figure shows the catch for a 9-month period, while the 1954 and 1956 records cover the entire year. Hottest fishing in Oregon was the Columbia where anglers took nearly 50,000 salmon including offshore, with about 10.000 of these from the upriver fishery. Along the coast, Winchester Bay including the offshore fishery was the big producer where anglers reported 23,902 fish. The Umpqua river also produced well with 5,920 salmon taken by anglers. Coos Bay proved to be the third big producer with 18.386 salmon taken in the bay and in the offshore fishery. The Coos river itself produced some 896 salmon. Rogue river fishermen latched onto 9,640 of the big tackle bust ers, with an additional 900 salm on taken at Gold Beach. From the Willamette anglers took about 16,000 salmon, while Yaquina produced 9,602 fish, 2,068 in the bay and river and 7,534 in the offshore fishery. Steelhead fishermen found the best fishing in the Columbia river which produced 9,138 of the big ironheads. The Umpqua followed with 8,169 fish report ed, and the Rogue was third with anglers taking some 7,998 steelhead.

B0 Indian Tutor Makes With Usual Pre-Season Sunshine (This is the fourth of a series on the outlook of Pa cific Coast football teams for the coming season.) By SCOTT BAILLIE Stanford, Calif. (W "I feel we have a good chance to beat anybody this year on a given Saturday." Ever hear that before? Sure, it's Chuck Taylor the Stanford coach who never wails making with his customary pre-season sunshine. And he is doing it this time although the Indians have to get along without the passing magic of John Brodie or the power of tackle Paul Wiggin, two members of last season's UP All-America squad. Red-headed Taylor seems hardly distraught over this turn of events. Listen: "Overall, our backfield will be as good if not better than last season's. There also is a good possibility of playing better than we did." Come to think of it. that might not be too difficult. The Indians, who were supposed to breeze into the Rose Bowl, lost their last four games to conference foes and three of these defeats were traceable to missed conver sions. Brodie's Successor Jack""Douglas, with Jack Tay lor pressing him, is under the gun to take over Brodie's quar terback chores in the T and and flanker attack which (Jhuck will stick with although air pow er is supposed to drop off. "Douglas is a good all-around passer, signal-caller and ball carrier," Taylor said. "In fact, the running may improve from the quarterback spot." Lou Valli, the second best rusher in the conference last year, has the fullback job under control as he moves into his senior year. Taylor also feels the halfback spots are in good Chukar Partridge Planted In Dead Indian Country Portland Scatiergunners may have an opportunity of taking the chukar partridge west of the Cascade moun tains if all goes well with a recent plant made by the Ore gon game commission. The first trial planting of the blue-gray rim dwellers was made last week when 420 birds were released on the southwest slopes of the Dead Indian country in Jackson Ashlanders Have Speed Plus Beef Ashland Coach Al Simp son will continue the Ashland slot or flanker T offense when he sends the Grizzly gridders against Del Norte high at Cres cent City, Calif., on Friday night. The Ashlanders are reported to possess a combination of speed along with some beef this season. One of Simpson's tasks has been to revise the Grizzly offensive to make up for the loss of Ron Mickle. The 6-foot, 3- inch, 200-pound quarterback was to have been a key Ashlander this fall but has transferred o North Salem, high. While it is hoped that speed and size will give Ashland more punch, the line problem has been that of filling the guard slots. The possibility loomed that Simpson might switch players from other positions. Other spots are pretty well manned. Nine Lettermen There are nine lettermen on the Ashland squad of 63 which will be divided next week into varsity and junior varsity. Some 35 to 40 aspirants were on hand for drills during the first week Eight of the lettermen are seniors Jack Tobiasson, end; Frank Conley, tackle; Gerald Troxell and Mike Kearns, guards; Hank Hampton, center; Jerry Stubblefield, tackle shift ed to fullback; Al South, left halfback, and Pat Simpson, quarterback, Al McKinnis, full back is a junior letterman. Del Norte defeated Ashland 20 to 0 last year for its only win of the season and has about the same club back. Lattner Through With Football Ligonier, Pa. (IP) , Johnny Lattner, who made everyone's All-America four years ago while the celebrated halfback at Notre Dame, slipped unheralded from professional football today the victim of a knee injury suffered in a service game. Lattner ended a self-imposed probation period by asking his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team he went to in 1954 while the toast of the nation and the winner of Amer ica's top sports awards. A knee injury suffered in 1955 while playing football with Boi ling Air Force Base proved his downfall, despite his persistent efforts to make good as a pro fessional in the game he loved to play. shape. He expects Al Harrington, the on-and-off-islander to show well this year now that he has improved his passing defense. Jeri McMillin, no longer plagued by injuries, rates the call at the left halfback spot or flanker. Roy Stephen, Al Napoleon, Jim Byrer and John Bond are among other backs who might move in before the opening whis tle. Ends Look Good The ends are in fine shape, Taylor declares, with senior Gary Van Galder on the right side. On the left it is either Dick Stein, Joel Freis or Chris Bu ford. The latter had a hot season with the frosh. Depty at tackle is a major problem. Both Ty Polich and Chris Plain, who were expected to be of great help, are reported out for the year with injuries. That leaves Troy Barbee or Eric Protiva for left tackle with Ar mand Deweese, an erstwhile guard, is at right tackle. There also is John Kidd, who can han dle either side, and sophomore Jerry Winters. Things seem solid at guard with Don Manoukian and Russ Steele leading a hard phalanx but help is needed at center. Roch Conklin is the lone veteran there. Taylor is busy trying to develop some support behind him. Jack Taylor, Deweese and Bob Nicollete figure as the tribe's best men for getting those extra points. Nicollet, a quarterback, also has a fine passing arm but has a way to go yet, Taylor said. The Schedule: Sept. 21: San Jose State; Sept. 28; Northwestern; Oct. 5: At Rice; Oct. 12: Washington State; Oct. 19: At Washington; Oct. 26: UCLA; Nov. 2: Oregon; Nov. 9: Southern California; Nov. 16: At Oregon State; Nov. 23: California. county. At the same time, some 210 bob white quail were also released in the farmland areas of the valley floor. All of the potential chukar habitat in eastern Oregon has had plantings of chukar par tridge with good io fair popu lations established. Surplus birds available this year prompted the game commis sion io give the west side a try. The area in Jackson county- was chosen as the most logical place to begin since it most nearly resembles the habitat requirements of the birds. In eastern Oregon the birds have flourished in the rim rock sections along the Des chutes, John Day, Owyhee, and Malheur rivers. Graziano Picks Ray Robinson . New York ttPI Rocky Gra ziano, who should be a top au thority on middleweights vs. welterweights, bet $100 against $1,200 today that Sugar Ray Robinson will knock out Car men Basilio in the first round. During his turbulent career, ex - middleweight champion Rocky fought so many 147 pounders he was called "the best middleweight in the welter weight division." Graziano, now a television and movie actor, said "I'm pick ing Sugar Ray to knock out Carmen within five rounds, but it could happen in the first round. So when a fellow of fered me 12-1 against a first round kayo, I grabbed it." Vince Martinez Knockout Victor Chicago (IP) Vince Martinez, f o u r t h-ranking welterweight said today he wants his next ring outing to be a title fight or an elimination match leading to the crown. Martinez held on to his NBA rating by rallying in the eighth round to stop underdog Larry Baker in the ninth round of their Chicago Stadium bout Wednes day night. The usually-stylish Martinez, a 12-5 favorite, had his hands full up until the end when refer ee Bernie Weisman forbade Baker from coming out for the ninth frame. Rose Suffers Cuts in Fight Russ Rose, Medford heavy weight who made his profession al boxing debut in Portland Tuesday night, lost by a TKO in the second round because of a cut requiring 16 stitches, accord ing to word received here. Rose had won the first round of his four-round match with Sonny O'Meara of Tacoma and was ahead in the second when a left hook opened the cut on his face. Rose said today that the cut was not deep and was expected to heal in time for him to box in Medford on Oct. 12.

Pointing toward the season opener for the Red Raiders against Moffitt Air Force Base at Fuller field in Ashland on Sept. 21, Aikens stressed that all positions were open, and the lettermen are expecting some rough competition for starting berths from a good group of reserves from last year's squad and an outstanding freshman turnout.
