was caution in Ferris' words.
'Naturally, I'm pleased," he
said. "This is a milestone if
it can be realized. It would
be fine for sports and inter
national good will. But it will
cost us something like $155,-
000 to pay the expense for
competition in track, basket
ball, wrestling and weight
lifting. "Right now, it would be al
most impossible to handle it
because the Amateur Athletic
Union doesn't have the money
and our people around the
country don't seem to be in
terested. While I'm not put
ting out an appeal for fundsv

we've had so far doesn't speak
too well for sports interests
in various cities."
If everything works out,
Ferris will have realized a
dream. He retired last year
after 30 years as national secretary-treasurer
of the AAU
but has remained active as
honorary secretary and chair

almost all of hjs time in recent

LEA MOTORS
Returns
Drooling
"This kid is a tremendous
driver," says Cazzetta. "He
has a good jump shot from
around the key, is a good
outside shooter and a rugged
rebounder.
More Qualities
"And like the original
Johnny O., he has a couple of
other- qualities that every
coach wants in a player
determination and a fighting
spirit."
This Johnny O. may not
score in the same league with
the original magic eye, but
he isn't doing bad either.
Current averages find him
running neck and neck with
another guard, Charley Kar
ach, his running mate in high
school. O'Brien currently is
hitting for a 17.6 per game
mark and Karach an even 19.
Between them this pair
notched 56 points in one game
and then did even better with
a 60-point output in another
contest.
The Johnny O'Brien of the
1951-52-53 vintage freely ad
mitted he couldn't guard his
own lunch pail.
Knows Defense
The current O'Brien is a
good defensive player.
"He has good speed," says
Cazzetta "and he's big enough
to make it rugged off the
backboards. Defensively, he's
getting better all the time."
Cazzetta also rates his
O'Brien a slick passer and a
good floor man. He and Kar
ach have that rare ability to
take charge when the going
gets rough and already this
season have pulled the Pap
ooses out of several holes
with last-minute rallies.
No wonder castellani is
drooling.
"Just imagine," he says, "a
guard six feet, .three inches
tall who can run and shoot."
Not the original O'Brien,
you understand, but a mighty
good namesake.

Dam Gets Backing
Of Resources Board
Portland (W A high dam
study at the Pleasant Valley
site on the Snake river had
the backing today of the Ore
gon Water Resources Board.
The board Monday, in
adopting a report on the mid
dle Snake river, urged Con
gress to approve money "for
an Interior Department study
of a high dam at Pleasant
Valley.
It also urged development
of lower Snake river dams
and John Day dam on the
Columbia river to provide
time to further study eco
nomic aspects of the middle
Snake river. '
An order setting aside un
til 1965 a fish sanctuary on
the middle Snake to protect
fish runs on the Salmon and
Imnaha rivers was approved.
Seven Combinations Studied
The board asked the Fed
eral Power Commission to
suspend any Dart of a license
for the Idaho Power Com
pany's Oxbow, Brownlee and
Little Hells Canyon dams
which would interfere with
maximum economic develop
ment of a high Pleasant Val
ley dam "or other projects
of higher order of develop
ment in this reach of the
river."
The board studied the phy
sical capabilities of seven
combinations of dams and
found that a high Hells Can
yon dam in combination with
a high Mountain Sheep dam
provided the most prime pow
er and the most flood control
of any. It emphasized that
the evaluation of seven com
binations was tentative.
The board urged Army en

Idaho Application Held Up
A decision on applications
of Idaho Power Company for
state licenses on Brownlee,
Oxbow and Little Hells Can
yon was withheld. The board
said decision would be held
up until the report is finished.
The board recommended
that enough money be appro
prited "and construction ex
pedited" on low dams, includ
ing Ice Harbor, Lower Monu

It said speeding up these
dams, as well as John Day,
would give time to study the
potential of the middle Snake
for maximum development.
It said it would help and
encourage fishery agencies in
the problem of fish passage.
