TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) Prick Backs Expansion Of lajor League Clubs By FRED DOWN New York W Commis i ioner Ford Frick today threw his weight behind a proposal designed to pave the way for "an orderly expansion" of major league baseball. The proposal, drafted by a fourman committee and an nounced in Frick's office late Friday, will be submitted to the joint major league meet ings in New York Jan. 25. Since Frick will cast the de ciding vote in case of a tie. It is regarded as certain the plan will be carried. The proposal reaffirms Frick's off-stated principle 4hat New York City should not be closed to the National League because of the exodus f the Giants and Dodgers. And it wipes out the old prin ciple whereby major league clubs "owned" territory. .Frick Optimistic ; "If this proposal is passed, 5t should stop the endless dickering and confusion that Jias attended franchise trans fers so far," said Frick. "In effect, we are attempting to ay new ground rules that ;will help in the orderly ex pansion of baseball." ; The committee, chosen by Trick at the December base ball meetings at Colorado Protection Of Salmon Discussed - Portland A conference ct the highway subcommittee -of the state committee on nat jural resources held recently promises great hope for state- rwide protection of salmon and iteelhead in logging and road building programs, it was dis closed by Dr. John Rayner, jxhief of the fishery division 5for the Oregon game commis sion. - The game commission at the session presented a new -14-point fish protection pro gram for state-wide logging and road building activities. ; Dr. Ifayner said that the lfour most common causes of -fish problems on forest lands are: 1. Removal of bank cover, resulting in cutting -down on shade, raising wa ller temperatures, diminishing ;food supplies, and accelerat- 'ing erosion. 2. Improperly laid culverts. 3. Siltation from road drainage or erosion. 4. Logging debris resulting in jams and impassable barriers These problems would be eliminated under the propo sed recommendations Buffer Strips Of primary importance was .the recommendation to leave buffer strips of undisturbed land between roads and streams in order to stop stream siltation and at the same time to provide shade and cover to maintain stream ' temperatures. Also Channel . changes were requested to be kept at a minimum and to re place large boulders in new channels to provide fish cov er and stream flow control. .Fish habitat should be re stored as much as practical . It was also recommended that culvert installation be -' planned carefully and that ;large culverts be placed at ;the original stream bed grad lient to allow passage of mi "grating fish. Z Other precautions in road -building and logging opera tions include keeping the stream channel clear of de- .bris at all times, keeping a Igood crown on all roads and Con finished subgrades in preparation for wet weatlv er, and being especially care ful of sedimentation during 'low flows when fish have no ;escape from the sediment. ; Cooperative Venture I The fish protection program -was developed through a co -operative venture by the -game commission and the U.S. forest service over the 3ast five years through prac tical application in logging rshows here and in the State of Washington. All agencies rep resented at the meeting agreed they were in sympathy with ;the recommendations. 3 The activation of the pro gram will come about as a rresult of field inspection, of individual problem areas. ZThe game and fish commis sions are to be notified of jroad construction far enough ;in advance of actual work to enable on-the-ground analy 5sis of fish protection meas ures needed. Z Present at the conference Iwere officials of the U. S. 2orest service, bureau of pub lic roads, bureau of land man agement, Oregon state board 5of health, Oregon highway department, Oregon soil con servation committee, Multno Zmah county road department, 3ndusrial forestry association, Booth-Kelly Lumber . com pany, Alsea ?i3sin studies committee, and the Oregon fish commission.

WHISTLE TOOTED ON THIS Scott Peterson (33), Ashland, was banished to the sidelines after this effort to stop the Comets' Wayne Allen in the final tense quarter of the Crater Ashland basketball skirmish at Central Point Friday night. Peterson was charged with, his fifth personal foul. Allen was going for a field shot after the Comets broke up a Grizzly offensive thrust. Following up the play is Crater's Chuck Turner. Score was tied at this point at 32-each. Crater won out. 36 to 35 in the Southern Oregon conference launcher. Crater's Hoopsters Tip Ashland, 36-35 Central Point A slim edge in shooting at the free toss line and a full-court pressing defense were the essentials Friday night as the Crater high Comets opened their Southern Oregon conference DasKetoaii slate with a one- point triumph in a foul marred hassle. In the come-from-behind fashion which has marked all their verdicts this season, the Comets pushed on top in the closing minutes to slip by the Ashland Grizzlies here 36 to 35. Crater, behind by a many as 14 points in the second quarter, never had a lead in the conflict until Joe Teeter swished two free heaves for 36 to 34 Comet margin with 2 minutes, 40 seconds left to play. Bill Maurer of Ashland and Jerry Kime of Crater then missed gift shots. With 17 seconds left Bill White fouled Ashland's Albert Hartwell under the Ashland hoop. Hartwell made his first toss but missed the second, the last opportunity the Griz zlies had to score. 20 Free Points Plunking in only eight field ' buckets, six of them by Wayne jAUen, the Comets picked up 20 of their markers at the charity stripe. Ash land was one better from the field with nine, four by Maurer, but collected just 17 from the foul throw alley. Ashland got off to a good start in the fuss and built up a 14 to 5 first period bulge. The advantage went to 13 points at 20 to 7 and 14 tal lies at 23 to 9. Halftime stand ing was23 to 11. The Comets went Into a full - court defensive press early in the first- quarter. Ashlanders rolled around the Crater cagers for three goals in the starting panel but after that the press hurried and harried the Grizzlies and they missed many seemingly good casts at the hoop. But it wasn't until the third quarter that the Comets got an upward climb going. In this panel they outshot Ash land 13 to 5 with nine of the tallies from the gift line. That narrowed Ashland's lead to 28 to 24.
