4 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) Loper, Little In PAL Card Jerry Loper, Talent, and Bobby Little, Medford; won main event bouts last night in a Medford Police Athletic league boxing card whicM certainly proved one point that neither PAL nor the Tal ent Youth center, which pro vided the opposition, need to reach into far off corners of the state to fill a card which will wow the Rogue valley public. There are plenty of fistic scrappers right at hand to present an entertaining evening. Loper, 150, won from Bo Brown, PAL and Little, 126, from Dave Parker, Talent. Both decisions were unani mous and both victors evened the score for losses at a recent program at Talent. Each of the top-billed con flicts was action-packed with the participants displaying the skill of training. But a good number of the other con flicts were just as appealing, and some more so, to the near capacity and enthusiastic crowd at the Esquire theater. There were 14 bouts in all. Team-wise Medford PAL came out on top by a narrow 7 to 6. But many fans felt that one bout ruled a draw Hall, Allen Hold Lead In Tourney Ed Hall and Frank Allen with a plus 17 standing were leaders in the Rogue Valley Country club's .holiday golf handicap as of Sunday night, Jan. 5. They were among four two- man teams who have played four matches. Ken Knapp and Robert Brown with 61 had the best net best-ball score. Dr. Dave Boals and Dr. William Miller were next with 62. Hall and A fen and Bud Parsons and Clyde Knight had 63s. First prize for low net best ball during the tourney will be $20. Second prize will be $15 and third $10. The tournament goes through March 1. After a team has a minus standing of 10, it may no longer be chal lenged. A team may challenge any team above that stand ing it has not played before.

Chetco should be good and Illinois should improve. Ex-Willamette Grid Star Taken By Death Portland W Grover (Pruny) Francis, 69, one of the greatest football players in the history of Willamette university, died Wednesday in Veteran's hospital here after a long illness. Francis played for Willam ette from 1909 to 1912. He was a fullback and was a star on teams which played Ore gon and Oregon State on nearly even terms. Later he played for Multnomah club in Portland. MAIL TRIBUNE Triumph Headliners should have gone to TYC's Dick Bates on a technical knockout, giving the visiting pugilists a break-even night, Loper Records Edge In the 150-pound tiff of the double main Loper appeared to have the edge in every round in avenging a previous ly suffered TKO. Brown, how ever, showed a strong flurry of effectiveness as the second round concluded. In the other main, final bout of the night, the first round was fairly even but the workmanlike Little piled up a good margin in the other two chukkers. Bates was the better boxer in this mix with John Imus 150, PAL, who was making his first ring appearance. The fray was halted at one stage when Imus was the victim of a rabbit punch. On another occasion the Medford begin ner waded in before the bell sounded. At one spot Referee Don Cain was brushed with blow w h i c h, if it landed would have been a good hard belt and he stopped the ac tion briefly at that point. At the end of the second round the official called halt to the tilt and raised the mitts of both fighters. Au dience response' was one of disapproval. The 110 hassle between Doug Batten, PAL, and Har vey Pamplin, Talent, was the grudge fracas of the night. One observer remarked "That s not a fight, that s a brawl." Batten gained the de cision.

The plan, which will be placed for final adoption at the 1959 convention, would allow the Army, Navy and Air Force Academies to con tinue sending promising ath letes to prep schools. But Edward J. Knapp of Texas Western College, Paul Mackesey of Brown and .Ken Fairman of Princeton voiced opposition to the plan to go easy on the service schools be cause of their stiff entrance re quirements. Knapp said the academies should seek high class stu dents who wouldn't require more than four years of schooling. Mackesey suggested that when the amendment is circu lated officially it should be put in two parts, presumably so that those opposed to an ex ception for the academies wouldn't have to vote against the rule as a whole. Fairman said he was op posed flatly to the "Naval Academy's present program," which includes using athletic department funds for the tui tion of prep school athletes. New Orleans HP) Horse owner Charlie Pope of Baton Rouge, La., has been handed a 60-day suspension by the stewards at the Fairgrounds after a forbidden narcotic was found in a urine specimen of a two-year-old colt owned by him. The colt, Kerry ville, won a race at the Fairgrounds on Jan. 1, the day of the alleged offense. All horses owned by Pope also have been suspend ed and the purse money won by Kerryville has been for feited.

Red Raiders To Mix at Monmouth Ashland Southern Ore gon college's basketball squad heads for Monmouth Friday morning seeking to retain its position at the front of the Oregon Collegiate conference pack. The Red Raiders of the Rogue, with victories in their two inaugural games in the campaign, vie tomorrow and Saturday nights against the Oregon College Wolves. Southern Oregon's contin gent is intact for the series Oregon college recently lost three varsity men because of scholastic ineligibility. One of the Raiders, Norm Oliva, has been slowed by reinjury to the knee he hurt in -foot ball. He's been playing de spite the ailment but Cliff Sutherland could get the starting nod in his position. Others who'll likely be on the court for opening whistle are Bill Hollingsworth, Dave D'Olivo, Jim McAbee and Ron Maurer. Also on the trip will be Chuck Crandall, Ted Tenney, John Foust and Dave Love. It will be the OCC launch er Series for the Wolves. Hollingsworth is the fifth ranking scorer in the north west with 214 points this sea son and his average of 26.7 per game is best. Tussle Won By Packers Myron Root Company Packers overcame Hawkinson Tire Tread 60 to 54 in over time last night for firm stand in second place in the Med ford Independent Basketball league. The extra session came aft er the Tiremen had closed a 54 to 48 deficit to end a nip and tuck second half. Hawkinson's took an 11 to 2 lead in the game but Myron Root caught up at 21-all and led 25 to 21 at halftime. The Treaders came up to tie the score. After several dead locks Hawkinson's went on top twice by four points but, after a 39-each tie, the Pack ers went ahead again. Free shots helped the Pack er win considerably. They made 20 gifters to four by Hawkinson's. LINE-UPS: 60 Myron Root Hawk'n's 4 Smith F. Johnson 10 D. Wooton Wheeler 12 R. Wooton Clark G 19 Conner McCay G 13 Serak Thompson Substitutions For MR.

That's what St. Mary's of Medford and the Prospect high basketball quintet will have tonight on the St. Mary's floor. Neither club has won a conference game so far, al though the Crusaders of Med ford have made a couple of strong bids. St. Mary's has had three league engagements and Prospect four. On the ba sis of performances, the Med ford team will be favored to night. Another B looper is set for Friday evening with unbeat en league leading Talent vy ing at second place Butte Falls. Talent, on its own court, trimmed the defending champs, 50 to 38 in Decem ber. Hart Records Decisive Win Chicago (IP) Sugar Hart, rated ninth among the welter weights, beat a fighter with a better ranking Wednesday night, but his manager, Marty Stein, refused to believe the triumph would move him closer to the 147-pound title. "You'd think this would help our rating," he said, "but I don't know whether we're not in with the right group or what, but we don't seem to be getting up the lad der." Referee Frank Sikora and Judges Howard Walsh and Harold Marovitz gave Hart 49 of a possible 50 points, and he would have had a perfect score except for low blows. Medforlv&JTribune SLPdDimrs South Eygene Foe Of Tornado Friday Medford Black Tornado hoopsters give every appear ance of realizing the job at hand as they gird for the Fri day and Saturday games here with powerful South Eugene High school. That's the word from Tornado Mentor Frank Roelandt. "They've been running harder and working harder in practice this week than they have been previously," Roe landt reported. The Tornado-Axemen series is strictly non-conference but considerable prestige is at stake. South Eugene with a veteran contingent rides on the crest of an eight-victory string this season and, unde feated, is regarded as one of the best clubs in Oregon. The Tornado will meet the chal lenge with a much less ex perienced . aggregation. Tussles are set for 8:15 p.m. both evenings at Hedrick Jun ior high gym. Preliminaries are planned for 6:30 p.m. On Friday the Medford junior varsity will divide for an in trasquad ruckus. Saturday's opener will match the Torna do and Eagle Point jayvees. Warren Kingpin Kingpin of the Eugene club is 6-4 Charles Warren, two time all-stater and a, high scoring center. Like the oth er possible starters he's a senior. The others, all from last year's squad are Tom Jones, 6-1, and Neil Gold schmidt, 6-1, forwards, and Dick Cerkoney, 5-8, and John Polhemus, 5-10, guards. War ren put in 43 points against Beaverton last week end. Against the foregoing com bination Medford may start with Tom Hamlin and Ron Peery, forwards, Lowell Dean, center, and Don Peek and Bilbee Lane guards. Peery could be starter in place of Jerry Anderson, who has had a regular opening role this season. Anderson is hampered by an inflamed foot tendon. The ailment has been re sponding and Anderson scrim maged last night.

Another hoopman who could see quite a bit of serv ice is Don Bowling, who is fast coming around after be ing sidelined with a foot frac ture. He's' farther along in re covery from his ailment than is Anderson. Medford will go into the series with a 2-4 record com pared to Eugene's unblem ished string. The Tornado beat Astoria twice and lost to Klamath Falls twice 'and Marshfield and North Bend each once. Eugene victims in clude Albany, Franklin, Ben son, South Salem, Central Catholic and Beaverton with two wins each over the two Portland schools. Southern Oregon Circuit Scuffles Close at Hand Although Medford, with league bye this week, takes on a Willamette valley op ponent, Southern Oregon con ference basketball action will be close at hand. Crater will be host to Grants Pass at Central Point on Friday night with the two clubs to meet again at Grants Pass on Saturday. Klamath Top-Ranked Quintet Has Close Call By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer West Virginia's top - rank ed Mountaineers stretched their winning streak to 11 games today, but it took a referee's disputed call and a desperation shot with two seconds left to keep the string alive. The. frantic windup to the Mountaineer's 76-75 triumph over Villanova at Philadel phia Wednesday night came when 6-foot, 10-inch Lloyd Sharrer connected with a 10- foot jump shot two seconds before the final buzzer. That shot climaxed a long uphill struggle during which West Virginia -trailed by 10 points at the half and by 14 with eight minutes to go. Protests Call But long after the game Villanova coach Al Sever ance still was protesting a call by referee Don Smeddy that enabled West Virginia to gain possession of the ball. Jerry West, brilliant soph omore star, paced West Vir ginia's comeback and wound up with the game high 31 point total. ' Temple, tied for No. 7 rank ing nationally and the East's top team so far, walloped Penn State, 64-45, on the same Philadelphia card and 12th-ranked Maryland whip ped Duke, 74-49, at College Park, Md., in Wednesday night's other, top games. Ducks Take Hoop Trip Eugene (IP) Oregon's bas ketball team left today for Los Angeles where Coach Steve Belko's Ducks face UC LA Friday night and South ern California Saturday night. Oregon lost its only con ference game of the season to UCLA last Friday. Belko said if Oregon could regain its shooting eye it would give UCLA "a good game" Friday night. He plan ned to start Charlie, Frank lin and Dale Herron at for ward, Hal Duffy at center and Chuck Rask and Bud Kuykendall at guard. COMEBACK TRIUMPH Chicago (IP) San Fran cisco Giants outfielder Hank Sauer, who smacked 26 home runs last season, will., be awarded a trophy by the Chi cago Baseball Writers associa tion at the organization's an nual dinner, Jan. 19 for the "comeback of the Ye,ar." Sauer, who will be 39 in May, signed with the Giants as a free agent last year after being released by the t. Louis Cards. He also played for the Chicago Cubs and was named the National league's most valuable player in 1952. SCOUT HIRED New York (IP) Arthur R. Dede, a former Brooklyn Dodger catcher and a scout for the club since 1941, has been hired by the New York Yankees to serve on their scouting staff for the metro politan New York area. Dede resigned from the Dodger organization last season after the franchise was shifted to LOS Angeles NW Loop Race Gets Underway By UNITED PRESS The Northwest conference basketball race gets under way tonight with Willamette rated the team to beat. Coach Johnny Lewis' Bear cats posted an 8-1 pre-con- ference record and that loss was by one point to Whittier Linfield and Pacific are the defending co-champions. s Williamette opens it season tonight against College of Idahp in Salem. It meets Whitman at Salem Friday and Saturday nights. Linfield, 4-4 in pre-confer- ence action, opens at home tonight against Whitman and plays Collegs of Idaho at home Friday and Saturday. Pacific, also 4-4, meets Lewis and Clark in Portland Friday and at Forest Grove Saturday. WILSON TO PLAY Portland (IP) Artie Wil son, veteran infielder, said today he planned -to return to Sacramento to play base ball this coming season. Wil son, 37, who lives here in the off season, was hit in the eye with a baseball last July and sat out the rest of the season on advice of his doctor. Falls plays both nights at Ashland. The Cavemen make their bow into 1959 league competition. Klamath's Pelicans and Grants Pass rate as favorites for the action. But the Pels could run into trouble with the set 'em up ball control style of the Grizzlies. And Crater, if it is in gear, has upset opportunity. The Cavemen's better rec ord against two common ri vals rates them an edge over the Comets. Coquille in the pre-conference slate topped Grants Pass by a close- score and romped over Crater. Both Southern Oregon loop mem bers tripped Willamette of Eugene with GP the victor by a more decisive margin. Evansville High Rated By EARL WRIGHT New York (IP) The Mid west, with the Evansville (Ind.) Purple Aces leading the way, dominated the first United Press small college basketball ratings today by supplying the first four of the top 10 teams. Evansville, coached for the 12th straight season by Arad McCutchan, was rated the na tion's ,No. 1 small college team in balloting by 40 coach es from as many states. They gave the Purple Aces nine first-place votes and a total of 193 points. Wheaton No. 2 Wheaton, (111.) college won the No. 2 ranking with six first place votes and 164 points. Western Illinoise uni versity rounded out the Mid western grip on the top rank ings by placing fourth with three first-place votes and 135 points. Southwest Missouri State, which swept its' first 10 starts, placed fifth with five first- place votes and 109 points. Tennessee A&T was next with one first-place vote and 106 points. West Virginia Tech, with three first-place votes, was seventh with 102 points. Louisiana Tech was eighth with 98, Texas Southern was ninth with 87 and Pacific, (Wash.) Luthern was 10th with three first-place votes and 64 points.

This turbulent stream with its two forks lies in the northern border of California with the middle fork follow ing the highway most of the way to Crescent City. The Smith is mainly a stream for migratory fish for it is classed as barren in re gards to furnishing enough food to harbor resident trout. There is some trout fishing, espcially on the small streams back in the moun tains that feed the main river and strangely enough the best of this kind of fishing lies in Oregon with some rugged roads to protect it. The main branches and riv er are mostly lined with gran ite rock and very little food is found here for anything but downstream migrants. PRIME TARGET The Smith really comes into its own during the salmon runs which are at their peak during the latter part of October, all of No vember and part of De cember. Just as this run is tapering off the steel head start to come in and this fine fish, fresh from the salt water, is the prime target of our northern neighbors and of course for many southern Oregon an glers. The lure of this steelhead fishing lies in the fact that these fish being so close to the ocean are "green and white" fresh making them superior to our steelhead in both eating qualities and fighting ability. This fresh ness however does have its problems. Due to the fact that the distance from the sea to their spawning beds is very short in comparison to that traveled on either the Rogue or the Illinois, the runs do not stay in the legal fishing area very long and where the fishing may be terrific one day it can be nil the next. HIT SHOTS The natives know that these fish come in on the ebbing tide and know pretty well how far they will travel in a given length of time so usually are pretty success ful. The visitor of course, can do nothing better than to hit one spot after another in hopes of "getting in" to the fish. This is one stream where to stay put in one hole for the day many times will be very unproductive unless HOCKEY NATIONAL 'LEAGUE By United Press Little Camille Henry of the New York Rangers revealed today that there's a gal be hind the spectacular sharp shooting that's made him a "public enemy" to National Hockey league goalies. Henry, whose third goal of the game 25 seconds before the final buzzer enabled the Rangers to tie the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-5, Wednesday night, said his "fair lady" is Montreal TV personality Dom inique Michel. "The Rangers promised me a $500 bonus if I scored 25 goals this season," said Hen ry, who already has tallied 23. "Well, I want that $500 because I plan to marry Miss Michel next day." AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press Willie Marshall is back in action and all appears well again for the Hershey Bears. The high - scoring center, out with a shoulder injury last week returned to the line up Wednesday night and pro duced two goals and two as sists as the league-leading Bears walloped Springfield, 7-0. Buster Brown Will NOTICE! CLOSED ALL DAY Tomorrow, Fri., Jan. 10 PREPARING FOR A Sale of All SALE STARTS SATURDAY at 9 a.m. REES there are lots of fish In the river and they arev coming through occasionally which sometimes happens. t Generally speaking how ever, even the natives hit one spot after another until they connect. INACCESSIBLE Another very difficult thing about the Smith river fishing is the inaccessibility of some of the better spots and the few spots that can be fished. From the bridge below Jedediah Smith park the river offers more spots for drifting or "anchoring" but above the bridge they are few and far between due to the rapid fall of the river. Below this bridge the river is much wider and of course this makes it harder to locate the fish, as they are well scattered. The north fork only of fers limited fishing for it only has about three miles open to angling and there are only about four places to fish it. The south fork has fishing allowed for about 17 miles but much of this is gorge and cannot be fished at all unless someone has a 'copter handy. The south fork road leaves much to be desired. The fishing spots on the middle, or highway, fork can be easily spotted by the parked cars along side. Sometimes the trails (?) to the river make one wish he had stayed in bed but "thars fish in them holes!" MANY LURES TRIED There are no doubt more lures fished in the Smith than anywhere else in this section. Some egg fishing but usually the fishermen are using the little winged Spin'n Glo in size six or eight. Some fish ermen used only fluorescent yarn tied "ball-like" on the hook or in conjunction with the Spin 'n Glo. The little lure is fished just like eggs drifted and the fish pick it up gentle-like, just like eggs usually! For tackle I would suggest a little heavier than either the Rogue or Illinois for the water is fast and the fish are wild. Six to seven-ounce rodi with 12 to 13 pound line seems to be the 4est. A good net is a must and gaff hook are illegal. The current license fee for out-of-state is $10 plus $1 for the steelhead stamp.
