Ashland Dave D'Olivo
pumped in seven points in the
last extra session here last
night as Southern Oregon col
lege nosed out the Oregon
Tech basketball quintet 65 to
63 in an overtime thriller.
Victory in the contest, that
went to four extra periods,
gave the Red Raiders of the
Rogue unshared leadership of
the Oregon Collegiate con
ference. They are unblemish
ed in five league scuffles aft
er handing the Owls their
first setback in five engage
ments.
Southern Oregon's front
runner position will be chal

from an early second half def
icit of 10 or 12 points to knot
the fracas at the end of the
regular playing time at 50
all. After one overtime the
count was 54-each. There was
no score in the second extra
and after the third it was 56
apiece.

fourth added session with a
bucket for OTI but D'Olivo
countered for 58-all. Truman
Williams of the Owls and big
Dave traded goals for 60-each.
Charles Bogle got a free shot
to give the Klamath Falls
team the lead but D'Olivo hit
again for a 62 to 61 SOC ad
vantage. Ron. Maurer s two
free tallies made it 64-61.
Bogle's tip-in cut it to 64 to

other marker on a foul by
Bogle.
Oregon Tech was on top 27
to 20 at the half. The Raiders
caught up at 50-all with 1
minute 10 seconds to play on
a goal by Chuck Crandall.

53 Scored
By Baylor
By NEAL CORBETT
United Press Sports Writer
Rugged little Montana State
college tossed its impressive
10-3 basketball record at Se-
attle university Wednesday
night and the fabulous El
gin Baylor shattered it with
a couDle of records of his own.
Baylor, Seattle's 6-foot, 6-
Inch star, poured in 53 points
for one school record and hit
22 field goals for another to
lead the Chieftains to a 108
83 victory.
The performance by Baylor
overshadowed a 32-point ef
fort by little Al Harris, who
had led Montana State to vic
tory over such teams as Iowa
State, Idaho, Washington
State and Brigham Young.
Harris stands only 5 foot, 9
inches. I
O'Brien Watches
The victory was an import
ant one for Seattle, which has
become almost a fixture in

NCAA regional playoffs. Mon
tana State, now playing as

notice that it wanted a crack
at it.
Baylor's 53-point effort
Wednesday night broke the
school mark of 51 held joint
ly by himself and Johnny
O'Brien, former Chieftain All

Leader Resentful of
'Patsyr Insinuation
Louis (Red) Klotz, the bril
liant little basketball player
who, despite his five foot, six
inch stature, achieved fame
both in college and profes
sional ranks, happens to be
a proud individual.
That's why his Washington
Generals, the traveling pro
fessional quintet that he owns
outright, coaches and stars on,
once again are a most pleas
ing aggregation to watch in
action. They'll show their
wares to fans when they take
on the colorful Harlem
Globetrotters at Hedrick
Junior high school gym in
Medford Friday night. Game
time is 8 o'clock and the box
office opens at 6 o'clock.
Chosen to provide the op
position for the Globetrotters
for part of their schedule this
and ir several preceding sea
sons, the little red-head re
sents any insinuations that his
Generals are supposed to be
"patsies" for the clever e
gro courtmen.
"We're on our own, as
semble as strong a machine
as wa can, and, if we can
beat the Trotters, that's our
prerogative," he says. As an
added incentive to win, Klotz
puts an additional $10 bill in
the pay envelope of each
player whenever they beat
the Trotters.
Star at Villanova
Klotz is a former hoop star
at Villanova University where
he was a brilliant playmak-
er, and also played as a pro
with the Philadelphia Sphas
and Baltimore Bullets,
Each year he signs the best
pros and former college aces
available, assembles them for
fall training sessions at At
lantic City, N.J., and then
puts them on the road.
On a number of occasions
this year the Klotz Kids have
forced the Trotters to the full
extent of their outstanding
ability to squeeze out a vic
tory.
Several vaudeville acts will
also be presented before the
game and at halftime.
Bait Fish
Ban Talked
Portland OP) The State
Game commission put Oregon
anglers on notice today that
it may soon ban the use of
fish for bait, live or dead, in
most waters of the setate.
The Commission staff said
the proposals may be consid
ered at the Jan. 24 hearing
here to adopt final 1958 an
gling regulations.
The proposals due to be
considered would provide that
live, dead or preserved fish
may not be taken, used, or
held for use as bait in angling
in any waters.
There would be these ex
ceptions: Live or dead her
ring, candlefish, anchovies,
and cottids could be used in
tidewater exclusive of the Co
lumbia river; dead fish could
be used for bait in the main
stem of the Columbia and
Snake rivers, Drews reser
voir, and Klamath lakes.
The Commission said that
it prohibited the use of live
minnows for bait some years
ago but anglers still transport
live minnows for use as dead
bait later. Biologists hope to
halt the use of live minnows,
such as roach and dace, in
good trout waters.

Southern Oregon
By MEL
One of our most interesting
streams in southern Oregon is
the Illinois. It definitely is
not a "tourist" stream for the
best fishing comes in the
months from December to the
last of February and our visit
ors are long-gone by then.
It really doesn't need any vis
iting fishermen for it is well
patronized by the "natives"
who line its banks every day
the water is in condition to
fish.
The Illinois is temperament
al when it comes to the weath
er for it can, with a good rain
and run-off, rise at the rate
of one foot per hour and
drop the same way. It fishes
best when it is a blue-green
color which indicates there is
a run off of snow water from
Greyback and Oregon moun
tains. It can get muddy while
you are looking at it, for
Deer creek, which contributes
a considerable volume, tra
verses much of its course
through farm land and gets
some sort of satanic glee from
lowering the productive acre
age by -washing it down
stream. Best, Downstream
The Illinois is open only
below Pomeroy dam in the
vicinity of Cave Junction
but its best fishing is down
stream from 10 lo 18 miles.
The road downstream turns
off the Redwood highway at
the Selma store and is al
ways in some stage of bad!
It has more chuck holes
per yard than any road in
Oregon and is considered
good if there happen to be
no high centers.
This road which is full
of dips and curves, hangs
on the sides of mountains,
drops at crazy angles down
lo the river level and is
so narrow lhat it is strictly
one-way wilh the exception
of the turnouts, is used lo
haul lumber and chrome
ore besides fishermen. De
spile of this fact, the head
lights of cars can be seen
bobbing and weaving down
its length every morning of
the season.
Fall Most Popular
The most popular spot on
the river, of course, is The
Falls. About 12 miles from
Selma the road leaves the
main one on a sharp right
angle bend and ends up on
a high bluff overlooking the
river and a high swinging
bridge.
This swinging bride is a
thrill in itself to the new
comer and can be more so
when it is covered with a
crust of ice and snow. Fish
ing is done here on both sides
of the river in the big hole
under the bridge. Most of the
fishing is done across the
bridge with the two most pop
ular spots near the mouth of
Rancheria creek and just be
low Falls creek in the "Pot
Hole."
These spots are quite vul
nerable to the steelhead
especially during a low water
period when the fish are un
able to get over the falls.
They, act as sort of a holding
pond and many a day from 40
50 fish have been netted in

Is Fishing
REES
this area. Actually it would
be a good conservation move
to blast some of the rocks
away from the falls so the
fish could get over in low
water. This would allow them
to keep moving.
While there would be a hue
and cry go up from the really
fish hungry anglers the hon
est ones know that the runs
are diminishing rapidly and
something should be done be-
tore it is too late.
Other Placet ' X
There are other places to
fish the Illinois all the war
to Big Oak Flat but this
necessitates another drive
of about six miles and us
ually the fisherman has had
enough of the road with the
first 12. The road only hits
the river again at the Sand
Bar and at Big Oak flat. In
between there is a lot of
rough water good lead los
ing water and the trails
from the road to the river
are very steep and many
times slippery. Besides
these trails have a habit of
stretching themselves lo
twice the distance when
you climb back out! -
There is a little trick
known by the regular cus
tomers of how to tell when
the river is right to fish.
They drive by the Selma
store on the way lo Cave
Junction about another
three-quarter of a mile. The
highway crosses Deer creek
at this point. Take a look!
If the creek is clear go
fishing if it is high and
"red" you had just as well
go home better!
Find at Rests
In fishing the Illinois it is
well to remember that these
fish are fighting a lot of very
rough water on their way up
stream and so the likely
places to find them are where
they can rest. Behind rocks,
in deep runs, behind reef
rock and in the "fan out" be
low fast water these are the
spots.
Favorite lures in order of
use and productivity are clus
ter eggs, Spin 'n Glo and
Oakie Drifter.' Test line should
be 10 pound I like 8 and
some go to 15 but I think
that 10 pound is about right.
In everyplace except the
Pot Hole there is plenty of
room to play the fish so use
a rod in the 4-4 Vz ounce class
for a lot more fun.
The stream is hard to eet
to its hard to fish vou lose
gobs of tackle but vou can
meet up with fish that prompt
some natives to say, "I would
n't trade one rock on the
Illinois for the whole state!"
That's right, he won't trade
his rock and some days there
are so many fishermen vou
may wish you had brought
your own!
