Chuck steams, national
overall champion from Bell
flower, Calif., yesterday dem
onstrated the spectacular per
formances water sports fans
will observe in the western
regional championships of the
American Water Ski associa
tion at Gardener lake.
Stearns jumped a tremen
dous 116 feet, 10 short of the
world record, and turned in
the top slalom runs of the day
as a host of skiers tuned up
for the meet at the small pri
vate lake northeast of Med
ford. The tournament opened this
morning and will continue
through Saturday and Sunday
with a full day of competition
each day. Slat stars with ex
pert and first class ratings
are contending in men's, wom
en's veterans, junior boys and
girls and pee wee classes in
slalom, jumping and trick
riding. Top five in each event
of the regional, except in the
pee wee division will qualify
for the national meet.
Crater Lions club tourna
ment committeemen said this
morning that entries number
ed approximately 76. These
included some of the finest
skiers in 11 western states.
Saturday's slate opens with
women's tricks and Sunday's
with the ladies jumping. Start
ing time for competitors both
days is 9 a.m.
Jump Slippery
Stearns' fine leap yesterday
was aided by the efforts to
make the jump as slippery as
possible. The board was re
ported sticky two days ago
but has been worked over and
reoiled. Contestants now say
that the jump is the slickest
they've encountered at any
meet this year.
The national champ also
zoomed through the slalom at
the top allowed speed of 34
miles per hour and went
through also with shortened
rope.
There was no official count
on the number of contestants
-practicing yesterday but rl 15
gallons of donated Mobilgas
gasoline were burned up by
tow boats during the day.
Final preparations to ac
commodate the huge crowds
expected were made yester
day. A public address system
with four loud speakers has
been set up and the sound is
reported good all around the
lake. Signs have been posted
marking the way out Crater
Lake highway and Antelope
and Yankee Creek rds. The
lake is 15 miles from Med
ford. Exhibitions
A concessions stand will
have a variety of refresh
ments and it is possible for
groups to make an all-day
picnic out of seeing the meet.
When time permits there
will be exhibitions with bare
foot and speed skiing and
clown acts.
Sidelight activities include
ASWA the Pacific Coast coun
cil meeting at 8:30 p.m. at the

Deer Question
Yet Unanswered
In California
Sacramento (UPD Cali
fornia's crucial 1958 coastal
deer hunting season was one
week old today but the big
question which worries De
partment of Fish and Game
officials still was unanswered
The question is this: "Are
more than 15 per cent of the
hunters going to bag game this
year?" If they don't critics
can say of the department that
it gambled and lost. But if
more than 15 per cent score,
the department can say it has
proved its point.
More Deer Or Less?
The gamble was over hunt
ing either sex of deer in 1956.
The department allowed this
type of hunting and critics
yelled "slaughter 'and pre
dicted dire results for years to
come.
But this year, department
scientists believe, will prove
the critics were all wet. They
hope hunters will do better
than last year's 15 per cent
bag to prove that the 1956
hunt actually was beneficial
by cutting down the excess
deer, which were overgrazing
the feeding areas.
Practice Shoot

Medford Gun club will have

Professional Basketball Club
By 1960 Portland Possibility;
City Now Thinking Big League
BY HAL WOOD .
Portland, Ore. (UPD The
fast - growing Pacific North
west is thinking big league,
too.
But the first item on the
budget won't be pro football
or big league baseball it'll
be professional basketball.
Harry Glickman, handsome
young Portland promoter, al

with the National Basketball
association and the day Los
Angeles and San Francisco get
their NBA franchises, Port
land will be in the big leagues.
Glickman has been corres
ponding with NBA President
Maurice Podoloff and has
been assured he'll be given
every consideration.
"We figure that the new ex
position building here will be
ready by June of 1960," said
Glickman. "That's about the
time they'll be ready in Los
Angeles. And that means all
three cities can go into the
NBA together."

Folks in New England would rather have a bowl of
chowder than a bowl of chili. But in New Mexico
'it's just the opposite. Where you live has a lot to
do with what you like
-
In news-tastes, too. So - besides its reports of the
rest of the country and the world beyond - United
Press International brings you every day a heaping
helping of news of this particular section of the
nation. It's news that you and everybody here and
hereabout specially goes for. And it appears daily in
Bedford
ed in a recreation area at a ,
cost of S8 million. The expo
sition building will seat 11.000
for basketball just slightly
less than the San Francisco
Cow Palace and the new
building in Los.Angeles.
"We have a population of
750,000 within a radius of 30
miles of down-town Portland,"
says Glickman, "and this is a
fast-growing area. The fans
here are thirsting for any
kind of major league sports.
"I promote professional
football exhibition games. We
have one soon between the
San Francisco Forty Niners
and the Washington Redskins
and we expect to pack Mult
nomah Stadium with 30.000
fans. We usually draw that
kind for an exhibition football
game.
Record Draw
"In big league baseball, the
San Francisco Giants recently
played here and drew 26,000
which was labeled the big
gest crowd to see a baseball
game west of the Mississippi
and north of Los Angeles. The
St. Louis Cardinals are slated
for an exhibition game here
on Monday and they expect
30,000 for that."
Glickman says he believes
a pro basketball team in Port
land would "easily" average
better than 5,000 per game
or 180,000 for the home sea
son. "With a winning team, of
course," he added, "I think
we would do much better."
