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."

next three weeks. The game
commission said today that the
last open season this year for
bow hunters will be December 7

areas for deer and one controlled
area for elk.
Three Deer Areas
December 7 marks the open
ing for the three deer areas, Al
faUa unit in Deschutes county
and Lookout Mountain and New
bridge units in Baker county.

issued for each of these two
units. The Lookout Mountain
hunt will extend for three days
through December 9. Antlerless
deer may be taken by the 500
hunters holding tags.
The remaining elk hunt for
the year will take place in the
Shaw Mountain area in Baker

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

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.

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

reported that they can into a
school of fresh fish and taking

Some anglers just below Savage

men went home with a zero bag.

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

Possible starts for the Hornets

as many players as possible.
Likely starters are Jerry Gasti

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

yesterday. The mentor said that
Bray has been really looking
good shooting, rebounding and
leading the fast break.

Crater will meet the Hornets

It was never set up to be a

never intended to muzzle the le
gal commissions from carrying
out their jobs.
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

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.
