TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Raiders Complete
Conference Chase
With Nod Over OTI
Ashland A brace of free i knotted the ruckus and Mc-
tosses by Ron Maurer and a
singleton by Jim McAbee in
the last IV2 minutes of a see-
saw second half provided the
margin of triumph here last
night as the Southern Oregon
college basketball aggrega
tion nosed Oregon Technical
institute 47 to 44 in an Oregon
Collegiate conference engage
ment. The victory marked the end
of conference play for the
Red Raiders of the Rogue but
kept their slender hopes still
burning for a co-championship.
Southern Oregon tuck
ed away its OCC slate with
12-4 mark. OTI is 12-2 with
cellarite Oregon college yet
to face this week end.
Last night's nod gave the
Raiders an even break in their
loop encounters with the
Owls. Each quintet won the
two scraps on its home maple
boards. Plays Nazaren
SOC winds up its regular
season schedule here on Fri
day and Saturday nights as
host to Northwest Nazarene.
Then there'll be participation
in the district tourney of the
National Association Intercol
leziate Athletics.
The Red Raiders, who trail
ed much of the first half and
21 to 18 at the end of it, turn
ed in some terrific fighting for
the ball to have backboard
control in the second half.
And they also took advantage
of more free throw opportun
ities to gain their victory.
Lead switched hands five
times and there were an equal
number of ties over the sec
ond 20-minute session of the
fracas. Final deadlock came
with slightly more than two
minutes to play when Charlie
Wilson scored on a fast break
for the Owls to make it 44-all.
With 1 minutes 24 seconds
left Maurer collected his two,
free heaves on a personal
whistled against Dell Francis.
At 1:10 to go McAbee dropped
in one of two gift tries on a
foul tooted on Wilson.
Ashlanders Hang On
In the closing seconds OTI
lost the b all on a muffed
pass back over the mid-court
line and SOC used keep away
tactics until Bill Hollings
worth attempted a field shot.
The try was blocked but the
Raiders gained possession sec
onds later under the Oregon
Tech hoop and hung on until
the buzzer sounded.
A seven-point surge at the
tart of the second half put
Southern Oregon on top 25 to
21. It was the Raiders' first
time in front in the game. Mc
Abee put in a tip in and Hol
lingsworth two fast break
buckets and a 'free shot in the
rally.
The Owls caught up on
buckets by John Rhine and
John McCutcheon. But SOC
went ahead again 29 to 27 on

Facts Produced
By Finless Fish
Portland Fin - clipped
steelhead swimming home to
the tributaries of the Alsea
river are producing new facts
about game commission hatch
ery production. The finless
fighters have been taken with
regularity in the Alsea sys
tem since mid-December.
Most of the marked fish
are survivors of a plant of
36,000 yearlings released in
May of 1956 from the Alsea
hatchery. The fin marking ex
periment is designed to tell
workers of the Oregon Co
operative Wildlife Research
unit just when young steel
head should be released to
provide the greatest return
to the angler. By contacting
anglers along the river, a
ratio of marked to unmarked
steelhead in the creel pro
vides researchers with a clue
to the extent hatchery plants
contribute to the fishery
Marked steelhead are read
ily identified. If your catch
has both ventral (belly) fins
and the small (adipose) fin
on the back near the tail
missing, the fish is a hatch
ery plant. A call or card to
the Research Unit at Oregon
State college will contribute
much to the findings.
In 1956 and 1957, some
76,000 yearling steelhead
were released in the Alsea
river. These fish ranged in
size from 6 to 8 inches in
length. The Alsea river will
be open to steelhead angling
until the end of March.

Night Tiffs
Cincinnati HP After one
false start, the National league
announced its official 1958
schedule today, including Los
Angeles and San Francisco
for the first time in history
and an all-time record total
of 274 night games.
National league officials
originally had planned to an
nounce their schedule on Jan.
24, but they had to go to work
and draw up a new one when
several of the Dodger dates
conflicted with other events
previously slated for their
Memorial Coliseum ball park
in Los Angeles.
The Dodgers ironed out
their difficulties by schedul
ing four twi-night doublehead
ers at home.
Los Angeles opens the sea
son at San Francisco on April
15 and after a three-game
series, the Giants travel south
to Los Angeles for another
three-game series with the
Dodgers there beginning
April 18.
All National league clubs
will appear on the West Coast
by April 29 with the excep
tion of the world champion
Milwaukee Braves and Cin
cinnati Redlegs, who make
their first official visit to
California on June 3. Mil
waukee, Cincinnati, Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia now
constitute the Eastern Divis
ion of the league.
This year's night game total
represents an increase of 13
over the 261 scheduled last
year, which was the previous
National league high.
In addition to the Giants
Dodgers inaugural on April
15, other opening day pair
ings call for Philadelphia at
Cincinnati; Pittsburgh at Mil
waukee, and Chicago at St.
Louis in a night game.

Fawn Survival Generally
Improved Over Last Year
Portland An over-all drop
in the buck-doe ratio on the
mule deer ranges, an increase
in the buck-doe ratios among
the blacktail herds, and a gen
eral improvement in fawn sur
vival over last year were
noted this :f all and winter by
game commission biologists
who recently completed their
herd composition studies to
determine sex and age of
Oregon's deer herds.
On the eastern Oregon mule
deer ranges, biologists classi
fied one buck for every four
does observed and four fawns
for every five does observed.
The blacktail buck-doe ratios
were considerably higher with
three bucks for every eight
does. Fawn rations were lo.w
er than in eastern Oregon
with two fawns classified for
each three does. A 1:4 buck
ratio and 4:5 fawn ratio are
considered representative of
a healthy hard. '
In their travels through the
big game ranges, biologists
classified more than 19,000
animals of which 2,538, were
bucks, 9,298 were does, and
7,195 were fawns, Another
several thousand animals
were observed but went un
classified because identifica
tion was not possible.
Blacktail deer west of the
Cascades and in Hood River,
Wasco, and Klamath counties
stood at 36 bucks per 100 does
as compared to 33 per 100
does last year. The ratio of
butks per 100 does is 9 per
cent higher than a year ago.
Blacktail fawn ratios also
show an improvement over
last year. The over-all aver
age was 67 fawns per 100 does
as compared to 57 last. year.
The average increase is sur
vival is 18 per cent higher
than a year ago. Improved
fawn survival was evident on
all blacktail ranges and espec
ially evident in . Wasco and
Hood River counties. Fawn
survival in Hood River coun
ty was 54 fawns per 100 does

Defenses Help
Temple, Duke
By TIM MORIARTY
If Temple and Duke wind
up as opponents in the NCAA
basketball tournament next
month and it could happen
in the Eastern regionals
the sparks should fly.
Both teams know how to
score and they also know
how to throw a headlock on
the opposition.
The Blue Devils used a
zone defense when they got
into trouble against Navy on
Wednesday at Annapolis and
rallied in the second half to
down the Middies, 77-63, for
their 10th straight victory.
Temple also had to resort
to some slick defensive man
euvers against Wake Forest,
"freezing" the ball for most
of the final five minutes in
turning back the Deacons,
61-49. It was the sixth-ranked
Owls' 18th straight victory.
compared to a low of 28 to
100 last year. In Wasco coun
ty the count stood at 62 fawns
per 100 does compared to only
32 per 100 does 'a year ago.
On 56 mule deer ranges the
average of 25 bucks per 100
does indicates a 22 per cent
decrease from the 1957 figure
of 32 per ''00 does. Biologists
reckoned that favorable hunt
ing conditions last fall and the
accessibility of bucks at the
end of the general season may
account forrthe low ratios.
The ratio of 79 fawns per
100 does on the mule deer
ranges indicates a substantial
increase in the fawn survival
from 1957 when only 68
fawns per 100 does were tal
lied. Improved fawn survival
is apparent in all regions and
particularly in central Oregon
where the ratio increased
from 59 fawns per 100 does in
1957 to 80 fawns per 100 does
this year.
On several of the critical
winter ranges, measures of
herd composition still indi
cated low fawn survival. This
was particularly evident on
such ranges as Murderers
creek, Northside John Day,
North Fork John Day and the
Izee and Day basins. On most
of the better ranges fawn pro
duction was considerably
higher than a year ago.
Game agents report that so
far this year mild weather has
favored deer. Most herds re
main widely scattered and at
higher than normal eleva
tions. Food also has been
available in quality and quan
tity on most ranges, and deer
are going into the critical part
of the winter with a good re-
serve of fat. Barring severe
winter conditions the nexti
two months, herds should pull
through with only a minimum
of winter loss.
Game biologists are now
concentrating their efforts on
population trend counts and
winter mortality studies
which will run through to
late March or early April.

Await Cage Series
Lowell Dean, sophomore
who is leading the Medford
high basketball contingent in
scoring and rebounding, may
be able to see duty this Sat
urday against the Ashland
Grizzlies but it's doubtful
that he'll be in action against
the Lithia city five on Friday,
it was reported this morning.
Medford and Ashland, each
hopeful of second place in the
final Southern Oregon confer
ence standings, and with it a
berth in the A-l state tour
ney, try to keep their ambi
tions alive with Friday con
tention at Hedrick gym here
and Saturday rivalry on the
Grizzly floor.
Dean has been on the side
lines with a foot infection.
If he does get into service it
will be without practice at all

Over Them
Moscow, Idaho (IP) Gary
Simmons, a "little" man who
leads the Pacific Coast Con
ference scoring race, has a
simple method of handling
the skyscraper hoopsters who
dominate the game of basket
ball. "Just shoot over 'em," says
the relatively small 5 feet 11
inch guard and captain of the
University of Idaho Vandals.
Simmons proves his theory
merely by pointing to his rec
ord. He has averaged nearly
23 points per game in the
PCC, which this season is
somewhat defense-minded. He
already has shatteredthe for
mer school single-season scor
ing record of 41 points, and
he is a cinch to break the
school's three-year scoring
mark of 978.
To compensate for his lack
of height, Simmon has devel
oped a twisting, weaving style
of dribbling that gets him
away from the defense and
puts him in Tange for his one
handed jump shot. His favor
ite spot is outside the key,
and on a good night he can
just about make the defense
men break down and cry.

Coach Frank Roelandt has
indicated a possible starting
lineup of Ron Peery, Larry
Brown, Don Peek, Tom Ham
lin and Jerry Anderson. Ham
lin missed drill Tuesday be
cause of a touch of flu. He
was out for Wednesday's
workout but his practicing
was limited.
The Tornado otherwise
went through a rather rugged
drill yesterday. This after
noon's practice was to be a
bit heavier than the usual
Thursday activity.
For Ashland Coach Earl
Iba is expected to have Al
bert Hartwell, Scott Peterson,
Jack Tobiasson and Bill
Maurer in the line-up as usual.
It'll be a choice between Bob
Johnson and Kip Lombard
for the fifth position. Johnson
would give the Ashlanders
more backboard strength but
Lombard works the Grizzly
offensive pattern better.
Game times are 8:15 p.m.
each day with junior varsity
openers at 6:30 p.m.
Grants Pass is at Klamath
Falls for the other conference
series this week end. Crater
has a bye.
