COURT DROPS FIGHT FIX CHARGE AGAINST ARAGON Las, Angeles W Boxer Art Aragon, once the cocky, third ranked 'Golden Boy" of the wel terweight division, today planned his return to the ring after dismissal of chagres of at tempting to fix a fight. It's great feeling to know I'm out from under this cloud," Aragon said Wednesday after Superior Judge Herbert V. Wal ker dismissed the charges on recommendation of the district attorney. The jurist presided at the trial, nearly a year ago, which result ed in the conviction of Aragon on charges of offering $500 to DickGolstein to "take a dive" in Ski Antonio, Tex., last Dec. 18. Refused Probation Aragon was ill and the fight never took place, but the "Gold en Boy" was brought to trial andCfconvicted. Judge Walker re fused probation recommenda tions and handed down the full five-year sentence. About a month ago, the deci sion was reversed by the Calif ornia district court of appeal in a sharply worded brief which charged udge Walker with 'prej udicial errors." The 30-year-old boxer nearly o Last Chance For Hunters This Month Bow hunters who still have a general deer tag will get one more chance of bagging a deer with bow and arrow during the next three weeks. The game commission said today that the last open season this year for bow hunters will be December 7 through December 22 along the Rogue river in Jackson and Josephine counties. The area open is a narrow trip along the Rogue river ex tending from Bybee bridge lo cated about five miles above the Gold Ray dam to the Robertson bridge, some 13 miles west of Grants Pass. Archers are urged to consult the game synopisis for boundary line descriptions. Other last big game seasons for the year will get under way this month when some 1,000 successful tag holders will take to the woods in three controlled areas for deer and one controlled area for elk.

The remaining elk hunt for the year will take place in the Shaw Mountain area in Baker and Union counties and will ex tend from December 14 through December 18.

All tag holders are urged to consult the game synopsis for unit boundary line descriptions, Alex Karras Top Lineman New York nn Alex Karras, Iowa's hard-crashing tackle who reduced his way to stardom, was named today by the United Press as college football's "lineman of the year" for 1957. The 220-pound steel-tough big fellow from the steel city of Gary, Ind., was an overwhelm ing choice of sports writers and broadcasters throughout the na tion who took part in the voting. Karras received 86 votes to 27 for runnerup Bill Krisher of Ok lahoma. For Karras, who has been picked in the National Football league player draft by the De troit Lions and also has an offer from Winnipeg in Canadian pro football, the honor caps a brilli ant career that really got rolling when he took off weight. End Jimmy Phillips of Au burn had 25 votes in the ballot ing to press Krisher for second place. Lou Michaels of Kentucky was fourth with 20 points and enter Dan Currie cf Michigan State fifth with 15. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE O By United Press The Chicago Black Hawks, who knew they had made a got-d trade when they got goalie Glenn Hall and wing Ted Lind say from the Detroit Red Wings during the summer, cashed in again today on the deal. Hall turned in his fifth shut out of the season Wednesday night and Lindsay teamed with Eric Nesterenko and Eddie Lit zenberger to help defeat the New York IBmgers, 2-0.

McHaney, 52, an insurance exec utive of St. Louis, Mo., died here as the result of injuries received in an automobile accident. He was a resident of Clayton, Mo. SO College On Its Way Athletically Feeling that Southern Oregon college is on its way toward an athletic program which will at tract crowds arid rally student body spirit was expressed yes terday by Ted Schopf, athletic director and - head basketball coach at the Ashland school. Schopf spoke on the South ern Oregon athletic program in general and on his hoop pros pects for this season in a talk to Medford Kiwanians at Rogue Valley Country club. The coach and athletic direct or pointed to the need to have good crowds at games before spirit can be instilled in stu dents and brought out that it Is necessary to have a good pro duct (good teams) to attract the fans. That the school has obtained a top flight football coach in Al Akins and gained the cream of athletes in southern Oregon this year was hown as evidence that "we're on the way." The foot ball team won the Oregon Col legiate conference crown. Real football attractions in the future at SOC were pre dicted by the speaker. Fine Hoop Club Southern Oregon has had some "terrific" basketball teams over the years, Schopf remark ed. The Red Raiders swept the former Far Western conference and went to the NAIB tourney at Kansas City in Schopf's first year at the hoop helm. Among the problems men tioned by Schopf were the small turnout at games compared to the hard work of the players and the lack of advertising. He said that SOC games don't have the parent attendance that high school games of the area do. The routine job requirements at the school make it hard to get out and do the type of advertis ing which should be done, he stated. Southern Oregon is really coming to its own scholastically, as well as athleticly, Schopf re ported, telling of the new facil ities at the school. He spoke of the fine quality and high rating of the school educationwise and said that SOC can do nothing but grow. Concerning basketball, Schopf told of his belief in having team plays when a basket is scored all five players can feel they have had a part in producing the goal. He pointed to the import ance in team success of the feel ing of working together.

Portland State Nudges Pioneers Portland (IP) Portland State defeated Lewis and Clark 80-78 in a non-conference basketball game Wednesday night as Bill Jones sank a field goal with seven seconds to play. The score was tied 15 times during the game and at half time the count was 41-41. Johnny Winters poured in 25 points for Portland State while Cliff Shelton and John Dukes had 15 each for Lewis and Clark. UUUU-OISTIUUS C0UIW, ItC. SUXOEO rr s "IVIake 1 I mine 7 Crown" (Hunting and Fashing Southern (Oregon By MEL REES The closing of the Rogue to own fields but primarily to steelhead fishing last Saturday serve as a final arbitrator when ended one of the worst fall sea- conflicts arose in the use of sons in history. Several boats limited on the last day but they reported that they can into a school of fresh fish and taking them was rather elementary. Some anglers just below Savage Rapids dam also filled out their cards but many last day fisher men went home with a zero bag. 4- MUCH CONCERNED The poor catches which were the general rule were not in this case due lo faulty water conditions as in many former years for we had two good raises in the river level and except for the Copco-pro-duced murky period, the water was clear. There is more than a little concern among -the fishing fraternity about the Rogue and its future. The other day I heard a na tive who has always been fightin' against any dams on the Rogue, speaking in favor of the proposed high dam in the Agness area. He made the statement that we were about through anyway as far as the famous Rogue fishing was concerned and we might just as well have a lake with a 125 mile shoreline. It does seem a shame to see a river as famous as the Rogue slowly fade from the fishing picture but in light of recent events it would seem that men in responsible posi tions are more interested in di verting our Oregon waters into other channels than they are in preserving our fishing. NO VOICE AT HEARING Recently a hearing was held in Portland on the proposed Nez Perce dam. This is to be a high dam and so far offers no ade quate fish passage facilities. At this hearing there wasn't a voice from the fish and game commis sion because it seems our gover nor "suggested" that they clear their testimony with the water resources board before present ing it at any open hearing. This water board was set up, not to dictate to other agencies what they should do in their Hedrick, McLoughlin Fives Have Openers; Crater Frosh Victors Hedrick Junior high ninth grade hoopmen bow .into action this evening while McLoughlin's ninth follows suit on Friday aft ernoon. The Hornets of Hedrick meet the Crater freshmen at Central Point this evening and Mc Loughlin's opener tomorrow is at 3:30 p.m. host to Eagle Point Frosh. Possible starts for the Hornets have been listed by. Coach Barney Riggs along with several who should see considerable ac tion. He said he planned to use as many players as possible. Likely starters are Jerry Gasti neau, center, Danny Sieg, and Bruce B"ay or Dennis Burnum, forwards, and Craig Miller and Mike Monroe, guards. Those who could see quite a bit of service are Bob Mclntyre, Stan Dowson, Art House, Larry Brown and Fred Lorish. Bray and Lorish were on the sick list yesterday. The mentor said that Bray has been really looking good shooting, rebounding and leading the fast break. Rebounds Help Crater will meet the Hornets after having rapped Jacksonville 60 to 23 last night. The Comet Frosh had board control in fash ioning the win with Denny Ed wards and Bryson LaCasse each collecting 17 rebounds and the whole team making 67 retrieves. Likely starters for Crater this evening will be Dave Foote and LaCasse, forwards, Edwards, cen ter, and Loyal Higinbotham and Gary Romine, guards. ' For the McLoughlin Bulldog debut Coach Carlisle Dean has listed eight players from whom he'll name the starting quintet. They are Mike Hood, Dick Rags dale, Bob Quinney, Larry Ham mack, Jerry Winetrout, Al Min nick, Nick Lingren and Phil Baird.

The governor's letter to the commission requires that all statements be submitted to the water board in advance so they can be reviewed or modified by the board in line with its poli cies. This is a perversion of the purpose of the board. SPORTSMAN'S DOLLAR It is the sportsman's dollar which supports the Game Commission and this is the only voice he has in maintain ing fishing and hunting in the state. When this voice is stilled or suppressed it can be read ily seen how little voice Mr. Average Fisherman really has. There have been thousands of dollars spent here in the Rogue basin studying our steelhead and salmon runs and lo date the only result has been to lower the limit as the supply of fish dwindles.. It would seem that these thou sands spent in an adequate planting program would have yielded greater returns. WOULD SEEM REASONABLE When one stops to consider that eggs from Rogue river steel head were used to plant streams in New Zealand, Spain and many other places and that those streams now offer some superb fishing, it would only seem reasonable to assume that eggs from Rogue river steelhead if planted in the parent stream would also yield good fishing. Some concerted action is needed NOW for tomorrow may be TOO LATE DUCK NEAR BON AN A Late Report Some fair flocks of both ducks and geese are re ported working in the Bonanza area and in lower Langell val ley.

Portland Coach Al Negratti put his reserves in for experi ence in the last six minutes of play.
