FAIRBANKS BEATS BEND Billings, Mont. (LTD Fair banks, Alaska, shaking out 11 hits from Bend pitchers, elim inated Bend from the Ameri can Legion regional baseball tourney by defeating them, 7-4, here Saturday afternoon.' Alaska's big inning was the second, when a combination of two errors and four hits brought across Jim Osborne, first baseman Earl Erickson, centerfielder Phil Pope and second baseman Phil Ramos. Osborne slammed out a standing-up double in the first inning and then stole home on a wild pitch to give the Alas kans their first run of the game. The teams ' were evenly matched. The Big difference arose when Bend wasn't able to tak Fairbanks' pitchers Dick Farris and Jack Garner for more than four hits. Bend's first score of the game came in the first inning when shortstop Larry Clark walked, stole third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacri fice fly by first baseman Pat Connally.. The Oregon team scored another run in the third and picked up two more in the fourth when left fielder John Newell stole third base and came in on a single by Clark. Centerfielder Dick Lenaberg also scored in that inning. In the sixth inning, pitcher Jim McCarthy took over for Mike Reilly for Bend after Osborne scored on a single. With the bases loaded and two out, McCarthy struck out one man and allowed only one of the men on base to score. McCarthy's pitching drew praise from the fans in the tsands as he struck out seven batters during the next three innings with his sharp-break ing inside curves.

Eleven Deer Hunt Unit Quotas Full Portland A flood of ap plications for the unit deer hunts during the last two days before the filing deadline re sulted in 11 deer management units filling beyond the per mit quota, the state game com mission office reported. The units include Clatsop, Deschutes, Fort Rock, Green Springs, Grizzly, Interstate, Klamath Metolius, Ochoco, Paulina, and Silver Lake. All of these units were oversub scribed, and a drawing will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 25, at the game commis sion's Portland office to deter mine successful applicants. The game commission was not surprised that the popular deer hunting units down through central Oregon had more subscribers than permits and had geared its machinery to handle the application flood and the expected drawing, Surprise was the filling of the little known Clatsop unit well beyond the established permit quota. This was not expected since the unit will be open for taking doe deer only with in one mile of established ag ricultural lands. Most of the area available for taking doe deer is brushy and difficult to hunt. Came Close Units that came close to filling include the Powers unit with about 60 permits still available, the Maupin unit with about 25 permits left, and the "Applegate unit with only 3 permits remaining. All other units ran true to form with applications num: bering from less than one-half the permit quota on up. All hunters who filed applications properly filled out for these unfilled units will receive per mits. Hunters who would still like to apply for a unit hunt and those hunters who are un. successful in the drawings may file for one of the unfilled units. Deadline for filing has been set for Sept. 15 and a sec ond drawing scheduled if necessary for Sept. 22. (The list of. unfilled units and the permits remaining in cludes: .Applegate 3, Butte Falls 130, Evans Creek 244, Imnaha 357).

Dairy Maids Bounce Tacoma, 6-4 In Women's Regional Softball Forest Grove Rogue Val ley Dairy Maids trimmed Ta coma, Wash., 6 to 4, in the women's regional softball tournament here yesterday afternoon. Victory advanced the Dairy Maids into Saturday night action with either Port An geles, Wash., or Seattle, UO Strong At Tackle Positions University of Oregon, Eu gene Even before the first football is kicked or passed in 1958, it is a safe bet to say .that Oregon's starting line in the new campaign will be big, fast, and extremely agile, and nowhere in this forward wall are these assets more evident than at the tackle po sition. It is here that Coach Len Casanova can point to no less than four lettermen" and at least three promising rookies for the rugged work that lies ahead against eight PCC foes and intersectionals with Okla homa and Miami. Jim Linden, a marvelous performer for two seasons at right tackle, heads the fine group, and he is adequately assisted on the left side by senior letterman Darrell Aschbacher. Behind Linden on the right side is veteran Tom Keele and an all-Am erican junior college selec tion, Jon. Wilcox from Boise JC, Is expected to back Asch bacher. Besides these four, Letterman Stu White and two sophomores, Riley Mattson and Garry Stensland, will wage a stiff fight for the top reserve berths. One of Best Linden has been called by Casanova, "one of the best tackles I've coached." The 221-pound, 6-4 veteran would get other considerable back ing from Webf oot foes durin, the past two seasons, too. Dis pite his size, Linden moves well and plays offense or de fense equally well. Aschbacher a member of the famed "Ugly Duckling" line last season which played such an important role in the Webfoot's march to a PCC co-championship, rivals Lin den's size at 215 and, 6-1. Keele, just a junior this year, and Wilcox, a member of the freshman Duckling squad in 1956, should provide potent backing for the starting duo. Terry, Jones Barely Miss No-Hit Games By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Close, but no cigar. That's how it was for both Ralph Terry of the Athletics and Sad Sam Jones of the Cardinals. Terry pitched a one-hitter and barely missed a perfect game in beating the Senators, 1-0, Friday night, while Jones came within six outs of a no hitter and then had to settle for a three-hit, 9-1 victory oveirthe Phillies. The "villain" who spoiled Terry's bid was his pitching rival Russ Kemmerer. Kem- merer connected for a clean single in the third inning and was the only Washington run ner to reach base as Terry did not walk a man and faced only 28 batters en route to his eighth win. Jones Ties Record Kansas City scored the only run of the game in the third on Bob Cerv's triple and Harry Simpson's double. Jones, the free-wheeling, tooth-pick chewing fireballer, tied the major league record of 14 strike-outs in a night game as he held the Phils hit less until Rip Repulski led off the eighth inning with his 11th home run. Jones was bidding for the second no-hitter of his major league career, having pitched his first against the Pirates, May 12, 1955, while still a member of the Cubs.

Gridiron Sport Question Mark For Prospect Prospect Varsity f qotball at Prospect High school this fall is still a question mark? Eleven-man football is out because of manpower short age.
