o o f! B Hunting ana risnisi: Southern By MEL November steelhead fishing on the Rogue is proving to be a disappointment. There was a fair run of fish in the river and fair to good fishing was the order of the day until the river became cloudy or chalky from Oeported Copco diggings. Most of the boats fishing some of the best waters this past O week were lucky to chalk up one fish per each. Some of the valley's best anglers "flat-ironing" their favorite spots, which means they combed the bottom with salmon clusters, were lucky to get one fish for the day's ef forts. Usually this time of year the better anglers just play the fish and turn the majority loose. I was talking with a guide the other evening who has been on the river all of his life and he said, "There is no use in kid ding ourselves. The fish just aren't in the river like they were just a few short years ago." He went on to say that on most days the guides are fortunate to lim it out their parties with two fish apiece. Size Disappointing Another disappointing thing bout the fishing is the size of th ones taken. There was a time and not too long ago phen a four pound fish was considered small but not now. I know lots of anglers who used to turn back at least everything below this size but r now happy to catch a legal fish. There are still some big fish being taken but the percentage is very small in comparison to the small ones. I recall only a Very few years back when we xmd to ignore anything under 10 pounds when ' fishing the Illinois as not worth tagging there are days when this might be possible now but ihey are well scattered. What Can Be done? The natural question arises, "Is there anything that can im prove this situation of fewer fish and smaller." After discus sing this topic with many top sportsmen in the area and in other sections of the state, I am afraid the answer is no! The limit has been lowered from three to two fish per day two more cuts like this and we won't be allowed any. I'll admit that, with the present state of fishing, this limit seems high enough. OTHER WATER USES HURT I feel that in fishing the tame thing holds true as in ating we can't have our cake and eat itl I don't be lieve that we can maintain a top grade fishing stream and also divert its waters for vari ous other uses. The high tem perature of the river in the summer caused by running ir rigation waters over the hot fields, the extensive use of c o m m e r c ial fertilizers and sprays all have their effect on the overall picture. I do not say that in our economic structure these are not important. Perhaps they 4re more important from a dol lar standpoint then is the fish- Larsen, Panel Captain Pilots Portland OP) Guards Larry Larsen and Wally Panel were named as co-captains for the 1957-58 University of Portland basketball teams by a vote of teammates Wednesday. the M-T Classified Ads The CLEANEST gock and Sand Makes the STRONGEST CONCRETE And We Have Both! READY MIX bv .HUNGER'S BEST BY TEST B rmm m m Oregon REES ing, but I do say lhat they are having their effect which is being felt more keenly each passing year. We have no extensive plant ing program on the Rogue. This in itself might alleviate the problem somewhat or delay the ultimate result. We are harvest ing without planting and any farmer knows how practical this is. It is possible that with water conditions being wha they are planting would not be feasible. I feel that it is long past time for the sportsmen of southern Oregon to take stock of the situation. Our fishing is on the decline and if the rate for the past 10 years can be used as an index for the next decade we may well see the end of it en tirely long before we are ready to hang up our rods. The duck and goose hunting in the Klamath basin leaves a lot to be desired so far; The recent "weather" encouraged a lot of gunners to go "over" the mountain" but for the most part the results were no so encouraging. There just aren't loo many birds is the report. Oregon State In Midst of Hoop Drills Oregon State College, Corval lis Oregon State's potentially strong basketball squad is in another week of practice, with the first game of the season a Dec. 2 date at Eugene against Oregon looming closer and closer. Coach Slats Gill, now in his 30th season as Orange headman, has been using almost an exclu sive letterman lineup. Returning lettermen include Dave Gam bee, Ken Nanson, Wayne Moss, Lee Harman, Jim Anderson, Ted Miller, Gary Goble and Gary Haynes. Forming the first unit have been Gambee and Nanson, for wards; Moss, center; and Ander son and Harman, guards. Show ing the most improvement over last year is Moss, the big 6-foot 9-inch senior, who spent most of his junior season playing behind sophomore Goble. Transfers on the squad in clude Arnold Schroeder (6-3), Long Beach JC; Roy Critser, (5-10), Olympic JC; " and Bill Patchen (6-8), Pasadena JC. None have pressed the regulars too closely in drills thus far, how ever. Returning non - lettermen are Leighton Tuttle, Doug Bal lew and Larry Copple. Fairly Strong Five Sophomores include Bruce Pat terson, Bob Darling, Terry Dol ven, Paul Ramsey, Gordy Carri gan and John Abell. From early indications, the Beavers will have a fairly strong first unit, with little reserve strength. Gambee, the leading pointmaker in the Pacific Coast conference last year, again looks good, as does Harman, the fast improving playmaker and driv ing guard. The Beavers, after . meeting Oregon in the opener, play a rugged pre-season slate that in cludes such clubs as Portland university, Seattle U, Gonzaga, Iowa and Indiana. Then comes the big Far West Classic here at Gill Coliseum, featuring Yale, Washington, Utah and Oregdn State. Business Manager Jim Barratt announced that ticket applica tions for OSC home games this winter will be in the mails this week. Always GOOD! J'.

HP) The ever - expanding PGA tourna ment trail looked ahead to its greatest year in history today after tournament bureau man ager Edwin C. Carter announc ed increases in prize money in many tournaments. Carter said the pros would play for $1,400,000 during the 1958 campaign and among the purse increases were these: 1. The George S. May tour naments at the Tarn O'Shanter in Chicago would give prizes totaling $159,000. This included $105,000 in the world event, which has been changed from open to invitational; $30,000 in the All America; $16,000 in the World for women . and $8,000 in the All America for women. 2. The Palm Beach Round Robbin in New York, formerly a $50,000 event was expanded to a S60,000 72-hole medal play. 3. The $25,000 Miami Beach Open replaces the $12,000 Azelia Open. Skirled Policy Promoter George S. May of the Tarn O'Shanter tournaments skirted the PGA's new policy of collecting all entrance fees changing his Big Open to an Invitational. The new policy calls for pay ment of 10 per cent of the purse above prize money to the PGA tournament bureau. In his com promise, May agreed to pay 10 per cent to the first $50,000 in the world championship and listed the other $55,000 as a "bonus" to the winner. In earlier action, Houston cut its purse from $36,000 to $30, 000 and set up an invitational, eliminating the entrance charges and paying the $30,000 service item instead of turning over the fees. In another purse re duction, it was announced that the Texas Open at San An tonio would be changed down ward from $20,000 to $15,000. Other action included an nouncement that the annual seniors tournament at Dunedin, Fla., would be played on a 72 hole basis with the prize money upped from $8,000 to $10,000 and the rich Ardmore, Okla., Open sponsored by Waco Turner, would be back on the tourna ment trail in 1959.

OTI has been a member of the association since it was founded in 1948. Rex Hunsaker, athletic direc tor, said the withdrawal "mere ly means that we are announc ing a policy of using athletes in their junior -and senior years and so therefore we are no longer eligible to belong to the National Junior College Ath letic association." In recent years OTI used its junior and senior athletes only r.gainst other four-year colleges. Against junior college competi tion OTI used only freshmen and sophomores. Hunsaker said more and more athletes were expressing interest in the school's advance courses. Fish Report Says Rogue on Rise Portland (IP) The weekly report on hunting and fishing conditions prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest: Angling in upper Umpqua river should improve; Tenmile lakes slow; Coquille river good for salmon for 10 miles below Myrtle Point; Rogue again rising after several good steelhead catches reported. Central: Good population of birds in Klamath basin, particu larly pintails and white-fronts; hunting excellent when weather stormy; lower Klamath lake has been very good; upper Klamath lake improving; goose hunting improving.

The 36-year-old Montreal Ca nadiens' star was injured in the second period here Wednesday night as the Canadiens strength ened their hold on first place in the National Hockey League with a 4-2 win over Toronto. In the only other NHL game Wednesday night, the second place New York Rangers and third-place Chicago Black Hawks played to a 2-2 tie in New York.

The coach is Dan Devine, 33, who played his college football at the Duluth branch of the Uni versity of Minnesota, but went from Michigan high school coaching ranks to backfield coach under Biggie Munn and Duffy Daugherty at Michigan State. He got the formula of his ver satile offensive and rugged de fensive patterns while at East Lansing. For talent, he has benefited largely by Pennsylvanians, who migrated, along with a Michigan speed burner and a Californian who broke Ronnie Knox's prep school passing records'. Devine's Sun Devils are rank ed 12th in the nation in the United Press collegiate poll. They are first in the nation in total offense, with a 437 yards per game average. Potent Record The Sun Devils, in the na tional statistics for major teams, are also first in scoring, with an average of 36.6 points a game; fourth in rushing defense; fifth in rushing offense; eighth in passing offense; and seventh on defense against scoring, giving up but 6.6 points a game. , The individual standouts are Bobby Mulgado, left halfback, who made the United Press All Pacific Coast second team last year, and now considered for All-America votes; Leon Burton, the Border conference 100-yard dash champion, whose speed and nifty knack for a change of pace has put him third in the nation in rushing offense; John Han gartner, the quarterback who broke Ronnie Knox's California prep school passing records, and Joe Belland, a fullback who gets the vital short yards and the touchdowns when the Sun Dev ils go deep into enemy territory. Lakers Rejoice Over First Win By UNITED PRESS The Minneapolis Lakers, once the scourge of the National Basketball association, were mighty happy fellows today be cause they won just one game. After losing their first seven games of the season, the Lakers finally came to life Wednesday night with a 124-106 victory over the New York Knickerbock ers at St. Paul, Minn., in the only league game of the night. This "sensational" develop ment came one day after the Lakers gave a hint of better things to come by holding the unbeaten Boston Celtics to a three-point win.

In the Southern states where the Eisenhower era once prom ised to lift the GOP from dec ades of doldrums, Republican organizational activity has slowed decidedly or ground to a halt. Many Republicans in Louisi ana, an Eisenhower state in 1956, say privately that efforts to build a two-party system have been set back 25 years. Obvious, Evidence The most obvious evidence of the GOP decline in the South turned up last week in Virginia where a Republican candidate for governor who once polled 45 per cent of the vote was buried under a Democratic avalanche. Little Rock and seg regation were the major issues in the campaign that gave J. Lindsay Almont a landslide vic tory over Republican Ted Dal ton. Before Eisenhower began pulling substantial support from the Southern states in 1952, Re publicans in the South were lit tle more than names on the na tional committee's mailing list. This led to the phrase "post of fice Republicans." This was changed almost over night by Eisenhower's popular ity. His 1952 triumphs in four Southern states touched off spirited GOP organizing activity that was redoubled after the President increased his Dixie power in 1956. Then came Little Rock. Some Reactions Dyed in the wool Republicans, like State Chairman Guy Smith in Tennessee and National Com mitteeman Virgil Jackson in FFA Talks Given To Lions Club Howard Wilde and Bill Brad shaw, Eagle Point, who recently returned from the National Fu ture Farmers of American con vention, gave a short report of their trip to members of the Eagle Point Lions club, recently. During the rest of the meet ing Tom Van Etten, Eagle Point high school coach, was installed as a member. Harold Knudsen, owner of Eagle market, was re instated following his transfer from the Prospect Lions club. Installation was made by Larry Sheehan, district governor, who made an official visit to the club. The Eagle Point area will be canvassed Monday, Nov. 18 dur ing the light bulb sales cam paign, President Don Geren said. Ed Hayes, Antelope dairy man, was a guest. Jeff Roosevelt Grid Co-Champs Jefferson and Roosevelt will rule as co-champions of the city elementary school football league. A play-off for the toga plan ned for today was cancelled be cause of wet weather. Jefferson and Roosevelt became deadlock ed last week when Jeff bounced Jackson 21 to 0 in a make-up encounter. The co-champs had 4-1 rec ords. Lincoln finished 3-1-1, Washington 2-2-1, Jackson 1-14 and Oak Grove 0-5.

He said that all boys interested may attend. If the group is too large more than one class will be scheduled. Brando's Mother-in-Law Happy About Baby Cardiff, Wales (IP) Marlon Brando's mother-in-law said to day she was "very happy" the actor and his wife are going to have a baby. But Mrs. Phoebe O'Callaghan said she did not plan to write to her daughter, "even though at a time like this a girl needs her mother more than ever." Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport MEDFORD (OREGON) Louisiana, urged a "wait and see" attitude. Others like Mis sissippi National Committeeman E. O. Spencer, a converted Democrat, resigned. George W.

Bushman looked proudly up to his towering grandson today and hoped the 26-year-o 1 d fledgling actor will someday reach the heights he himself scaled 50 years ago. Bushman was lunching with Pat Con w a y his Vernon Scott daughter Virginia's 6-foot, 3- inch son who stars in the tele vision series "Tombstone." "He's my last hope for family stardom," Bushman said. "All the others have dropped out of show business." Young Pat was anxious to talk about jiis career, but Grand pa' Bushman took the spotlight. The enormous difference be tween the flamboyant oldtimers and today's spoon-fed newcom ers was reflected in their rela tionship. Bushman had "show biz" written all over him. Pat looked like a businessman. Bushman played it large, with gestures and stentorian pro nouncements. Lived in Luxury "At the height of my career I had a dozen secretaries and lived in a mansion on 288 acres," the grizzled veteran said. "My home cost a quarter of a million to keep up. I had 28 servants and drove a $20,000 Mormon car. It was royal purple trimmed with gold." SCHENIEY DISTILLERS CO.. N T. C.

Democratic leaders in th South, however, showed little concern about that. Recent sur veys have shown that less than 25 per cent of qualified South ern Negroes are even registered. By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer "Bushy really lived it up," Pat put in. "I earned six million bucks in one five-year period," his 72-year-old grandparent continued, "and I spent it faster than it came in. But I have no regrets. I would spend it even faster to day. "I pray that Pat achieves the same thing, but it's not possible. Young actors don't have the authority or distinction they did when I was a star." "The halcyon days are over for movie stars," Pat agreed. "No star lives the way Bushy did." Flashily dressed in sports coat, slacks and weskit, Bush man still is ruggedly good-looking, more handsome, in fact, than young Conway. He lives modestly in a small bungalow overlooking the Pacific, spend ing his spare time surf fishing. Studied Bushy's Movies 'I've studied all of Bushy's old pictures," said Pat. "Most young actors do. And I've learned a lot from them, even though he made his last big pic ture more than SO years ago." Pat maneuvered the conversa tion toward his ABC-TV pro gram, then winced when Grand pa interrupted, "I don't think he should work in horse operas. I never played in one in my life. He's worthy of greater things. "But no matter how good Pat gets he'll never live the life of a movie star the way I did. Those days are lost forever." Pat nodded mute agreement. WHISKY. 86 PROOF.
