For -Lack of Fights i
By GEORGE COFFEY
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP East
ern "city slickers" have taken
over the fight game, a couple
of rough 'n ready Western
congressmen complained to
day. The two legislators said
that if one of their boys
doesn't get a crack at the
heavyweight boxing title
they'll put on the gloves
themselves.
Figuratively speaking, that
is.
Reps. Clair Engle (D-Calif.)
and Stewart Udall (D-Ariz.)
threatened congressional ac
tion unless heavyweight
champ Floyd Patterson gives
a title shot to the winner of
the April 9 Eddie Machen
Zora Folley fight in San Fran
cisco. Engle and Udall accused
Patterson's manager, C u s
D'Amato, of refusing to let
the champion fight either
Machen or Folley. '
Discrimination Against West
This is rank discrimination
against the West, they said.
Machen is from Redding,
Calif., pop. 11,880, and Fol
ley's home is Chandler, Ariz
3,799. Engle, a college welter
weight whose 156 pounds are
concentrating in the middle
row. branded D'Amato's stand
as "Eastern city slicker tac
tics." Heavy-bearded, square-jawed
185-pound Udall added that
if the "big Eastern promoters
continue putting the freeze
on small-town Western fight
ers, Congress should act to
prevent such monopolistic
conduct."
"Why, if the last Western
country boy champion had
been given the run-around
Patterson and his handlers
have been giving contenders
today, Jack Dempsey might
still be stranded in Manassa,
Colo.," Engle said.
He said Machen is unde
feated in 23 fights and is the
No. 1 challenger according to
National Boxing association
rankings. Udall said his man
is undefeated in 23 of his last
fights and has only two losses
. and one draw in 42 bouts.
Only Logical Contender
The winner of next week's
fight will be the only logical
contender for the champion-
snip, ine congressmen agreed.
They added that if neither
Machen nor Folley is given a
chance at the title they will
prepare legislation to "set up
bona fide national standards
and a national supervisory
t-uiiiiuisbiun wnicn will re
sult in real national cham
pionships not regulated
titles controlled .by a few
new York manipulators."
"We are prepared to slug
it out m Congress if Patterson
and his manager do anv more
shadow boxing on this mat
ter after the San Francisco
fight," they said in identical
press releases.

Tornado To Oppose
Roseburg's Indians
Here This
Four seasoned seniors form
the nucleus and three fresh
men are among the top line
candidates on the Roseburg
high baseball squad which
tussles Medford here Friday
in a doubleheader.
First of the pair of non
league frays is set for 3 p.m.
Ron Beamer, Dick Mere
dith, Don Wells and Mike
Hatfield are the veterans.
Beamer and Meredith are
pitchers and first basemen and
Meredith also plays in the out
field. Wells is a shortstop and
Hatfield a second baseman.
For the Medford scraps
Beamer and Mike Brundage
may get the mound calls.
Probable catcher is Chuck

SHIunfing & Fishing
Southern (Oregon
By MEL
Only three more week ends
before the big one opening
of trout season April 26. The
stream fishermen in Zones 1,
3 and 4 will either have to mi
grate into some other zone or
turn into lake fishermen for
that is the way it is this sea
son. Trout fishing on our
southern Oregon streams does
not open this year until May
24.
This late opening is a move
to protect the downstream
migration of baby salmon and
steelhead which in former
years turned tail-up in some
frying pan. It is hoped by the
state game commission that a
large majority of these fish
will have moved into the
lower Rogue where they will
not be so vulnerable.
Whether they move or not
remains to be seen. In other
years the excellent fishing for
small trout slacked off consid
erably after the first month of
the season. This was either
due to the fish leaving the
area or that most of the gulli
ble ones had been caught.
BOAT ACTIVITY
There seems to be consid
erable boat activity in the
area as preparations are al
ready under way for the big
opening on the lakes. It is a
sure thing thai if one doesn't
have in early reservations
this year he will spend his
time on the bank for boats
of the rental variety will be
at a premium. I understand
that more boats are being
moved in to accomodate the
expected increased number
of lakers but it is doubtful
if even this will take care '
of the crowd.
PRIME TARGETS
Prime targets for opening
will be Squaw lake, Willow
Creek reservoir, Fish lake and
of course Upper Klamath lake.
Roads and snow conditions
will govern to a large extent
the population of the lakes
for opening day.
The are some prime rain
bows being taken in Klamath
lake at the present time. Sur
prisingly enough there are
very few fishermen but the
hardy souls that are fishing
are reporting excellent luck.
One of the best spots is at the
licker'
us big league baseball," he
said.
The proposal came from
Supervisor James Leo Halley
Wednesday. He successfully
stalled finance committee ap
proval on the spending of $4
million for streets and sewers
needed for Bay View Park.
Bayview Park is the site
now favored for construction
of the $15 million stadium.
Halley said he will intro
duce a resolution on Monday
calling for a "study of the
economic feasibility" of an
other site, presumably in the
area south of Market street.
Friday
Wayne Brian, transfer from
South Salem high. For the
outfield the choice is among
Meredith, Jeff Wood, Jack
Berney and Pat Terrell.
Barr May Pilch
Coach Bill Harper will
bring his Indian squad here
with less than two weeks of
concentration with it. His
main work up through the
recent state tournament was
with the Roseburg. baseball
team.
Dennis Barr, who hurled
four innings of effective ball
last Tuesday against Ashland,
may be the starting pitcher for
Medford. For the second game
the choice should lie among
Tom Laurence, Larry Brown
and Jerry Anderson.
Medford jayvees were to
have met the Jacksonville
varsity here yesterday but
wet grounds prevented play.
REES
lower end of the lake where
it empties into Link river.
Fishing this spot with spin
ning lures such as the Wobble
rite have produced a number
of beauties.
INDIAN SIGN
Mrs. Lou Robertson of
Galice seems to have the
Indian sign on the first
salmon of the season for
more often than not in the
last several years she has
brought in the first fish and
hauled away the loot of
fered for the first of the
season.
This year was no excep
tion for she copped the
prize at Milo's Sporting
Goods store in Grants Pass
with a 22-pound chinook.
SALMON RUN
Several fish have been
landed in the Robertson
bridge section from boards
anchored there. There are re
ports that quite a run is in the
river judging by the number
that have been seen rolling.
The river level is some higher
this year than it was at this
time a year ago and this
should bring more fish up
from the coast. When the wa
ter remains too low they have
a tendency to "keg" up.
Last year was a very poor
season for the big fish and it
is hoped that this year will be
a repeat of two or three years
ago when the fishing was
pretty good. Most of the fish
ing now is being done from
boards with "anchored" out
fits. It is too early for the
"spinning boys" to swing into
action.
WEIRD SPORT
Speaking of spinning, for
chinooks. This is one of the
weirdest sports in fishing.
When one hooks a fresh run
chinook anything is liable to
happen and usually does.
There have been more reels
ruined and more rods broken
by this method of fishing than
all others combined. This does
not take into consideration
the barked knuckles and line-
cut fingers. In fact when these
fish start running it is a good
plan to. keep the fingers far
away from the line as many
an angler can testify and

Coach Bill Bowerman said to
day that a type of athletic
program which emphasizes in
tramural sports over varsity
sports "can lead only to medi
ocrity among our youth.
Bowerman was replying to
remarks made before the an
nual convention of physical
education, health and recrea
tion at Kansas City by Dr.
Shane McCarthy, director of
the Council for Youth Fitness.
Dr. McCarthy also said some
varsity athletes were poor
speciments of physical fitness.
"Life is competitive from
the moment you draw your
first breath," Bowerman said.
"When six individuals start
out to run a foot race or sell
an insurance policy only one
is going to win . . ."
Bowerman said he agreed
with the thinking that the
youth of this country is
"going downhill" physically
and said he always has been
a firm believer in intramural
sports. But, he said, "the in

No less than five records
were shattered last year and
in the 1956 encounter eight
marks were cracked by the

oldest standards on the books
date back just to 19o3.

Prove Injuries
Are Not Serious
Louisville, Ky. (IP) --X-rays
disclosed today that the
neck injury which forced Yo
lande Pompey to quit in his
nationally - televised bout
Wednesday night against Rory
Calhoun was not serious.
Physicians at St. Joseph's
hospital, where Pompey was
taken after the bout, said that
X-rays showed no fracture of
the bones in his neck Pompey
left the hospital after stitches
were taken in three-quarter
inch cut opened on his left
eyelid by Calhoun.
"It feels like something in
my neck snapped," the West
Indian light-heavyweight told
ring physician Dr. John Am
bach when the doctor clam
bered into his corner after
the fifth round. Dr. Ambach
then signalled Referee Don
Asbury to halt the bout.
Since Pompey failed to an
swer the bell for the sixth
round, it went into the books
as a technical knockout in
the sixth round.
"I couldn't have gone 10
rounds," Pompey explained.
"It might have hurt me

Of the meet records, eight
are currently owned by Med

880-yard relays, the mile and
two-mile relays and the dis
tance medley will be four-man
events and the shuttle hurdles
will have three runners from
each school. The distance med

Coach Dean Benson stated
that the Tornado will have
