desperately trying to get the
ball and come from behind.

Sparlin opened the scor
ing 10 seconds into the game
with a jumper but Dean hit
two goals for Medford for
4 to 2 and Hamlin, Anderson
and Lane added buckets for

again. The Cavemen pulled
up to 12 to 10, but that is the
closest they were to come to
the Tornado which hopped
to an 18 to 11 quarter buldge.
Medford extended to 25 to
12 and was on top 33 to 23 at
halftime. Sparlin hit a cast
from midfloor which was
ruled good at the buzzer over
vigorous protest by Medford
Coach Frank Roelandt.
Medford picked up only
one field goal' in the first
three minutes of the second
half while the Cavemen got
nine for 35 to 32.
Tornado shooting average
for the full route was .425 on
20 for 47. In the finaj period
of ball control the Pear city
players tried only three shots
at the hoop. The. Medfordite
club was at its offensive best
in the first half and lost the
ball on only three occasions.
Dean after his fine first
half, sat out about six min
utes of the last half because
of four fouls. Larry Brown
did some fine reserving for
Dean and for Anderson with
some particularly effective
work under the offensive
basket.

want to talk about it because
some of my powerful opposi

Lakes Produced
Well Last Year
Portland East and Paulina
Lakes, two of the most pop
ular fishing waters in central
Oregon, again produced ex
cellent angler catches during
the 1957 season the game com
mission disclosed today.
According to creel data col
lected during the summer
season 34,400 anglers at East
lake took 98,400 trout which
exceeded the 1956 catch by
more than 10,000 fish. This
was the second highest catch
ever recorded at the lake and
also the second highest num
ber of anglers that used the
lake during a single season.
The Paulina catch of 71,-
800 trout by some 21,600 ang
lers was also the second high
est catch on record, being ex
ceeded only by the 1956 catch
by about 1,000 fish.
More than 85 per cent of
the fish . taken at East lake
ranged in the 8 to 12 inch
class. About 5 per cent ranged
over that length and the re
mainder under 8 inches.
About 66 per cent of the fish
at Paulina ranged from 8 to
12 inches, 25 per cent in the
6 to 8 inch class, and about
9 per cent over 12 inches.

The popular bonus choice,
whereby the teams drew
from a hat and the winner
had its choice of any player
in the college market before
the regular draft rotation be
gan, was started 12 seasons
back. A teeam winning once
was eliminated from future
draws. The bonus pick com
pleted its course when the
Chicago Cardinals, the last
"lucky picker," was the only
non-winner left last fall.
"What will be considered
is a bonus choice to the team
with the lowest percentage
in the standings," Bell ex
plained. "Once they get their
choice, they are eliminated
until every team gets a bonus
pick.
"For instance, if team A has
a .400 percentage next year,
and gets the bonus, and ends
with the low percentage the
following year, it doesn't get
the pick. The team with the
next lowest percentage would
get it."
Bell explained the drawing
from the hat held too much
of a lottery suggestion to be
palatable to the congressional
overseers.
