As they teed off in the first
of two 18-hole rounds today,
which will reduce the field to
four for Friday's 36-hole semi

five in the 40s were still in
there against the kids.
Youngest of the survivors was
19-year-old Phil Rodgers of La

brackets came Chuck Kocsis of
Royal Oak, Mich., and Gene An

John Penrose of Miami Beach,
Fla., 43, and Dr. Frank Taylor
of Pomona, Calif., 40.
But despite their ages, Pen
rose, Kocsis and Taylor scored
notable victories Wednesday as
two 18-hole rounds reduced the
field from 64 to the surviving
16.
Penrose Whips Turnesa
Penrose, an insurance sales
man, knocked off Turnesa, the
Amateur winner in 1938 and
again in 1947, 1 up after six ex

An eye on the future will be
in evidence Friday when the St.

Cooper, left end; Dave Hartley,
left tackle; Mike Feiss or Jerry
Flakus, right end: Dick Hayes,
left half, and Rodney Read,
right half.
Dennis Duggan, 200-pound
junior might open in place of

Doubtful
Lucas and Flakus are on the
doubtful list because of injuries.
If Lucas is unable to go Gary
Kirsch may be a fullback.
Both Illinois Valley and St.

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.

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

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

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

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.
