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-

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 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

Increased
Prize Cash
In PGA Golf
By HAL WOOD
Long Beach, Calif. 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

Rex Hunsaker, athletic direc

their junior -and senior years
and so therefore we are no
longer eligible to belong to the

In recent years OTI used its
junior and senior athletes only

Against junior college competi

Hunsaker said more and more
athletes were expressing interest
in the school's advance courses.

Days of 'Post Office Republican'
Appear To Be Returning in South
By JAMES RUSSELL
United Press Correspondent
Atlanta (IP) The days of the
"post office Republican" ap
peared to be returning to the
South today in the wake of
President Eisenhower's use of
federal troops to enforce inte
gration at Little Rock.
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.

Young Pat was anxious to
talk about jiis career, but Grand

The enormous difference be

"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

same thing, but it's not possible.
Young actors don't have the

Pat maneuvered the conversa

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

Those days are lost forever."
Pat nodded mute agreement.
