U MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, October Tg. 1938 Black Tornado Drilled Hard In Preparations for Pelieans Medfcrd high schools Black Tornado gridiron machine ta pered off today after rugged drills on both Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons in preparation for their Southern Oregon conference game with the Pelicans pf Klamath Falls. The Black Tornado meets the Klamath Union high team at 8 p.m. on Friday, at the Medford stadium. Host play hunting & Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL REES Despite the blue bird weath er which greeted the opening of the duck season the success ratio was good due to the large concentration of birds in the Klamath basin. Some of the best shooting was had in the upper marshes where there is about a foot more water than there was last year. The birds will become more wary now and without some weather to "hold" them down, picking up limits will be more difficult. Some honkers were taken but I don't think as many as had been anticipated. FISHING SLOW Fishing continues slow on the Rogue river with in water very low and clear. A good rain would help this situation materially. In fact, we need some storms for everything because many of the deer hunters are having difficulty filling out their tags. CALIFORNIA POOR The hunters in northern California have had a very poor deer season to date due , to the very warm and dry weather. Hunters there say that the game can hear them coming a mile away. This con dition holds over the entire area. , EXPERIMENT Recently, when fishing steelhead with a fly we con- BOWLING ROGl'E ROLLERS Standings: W.

On both Tuesday and Wednesday the Tornado crew men went througn botn nara and long workouts for both offensive and defensive pla toons. And, there was some interchange between attack ing and protecting units in ducted an interesting ex periment which should prove of benefit to all sunken-fly fishermen. It is a known fact that in order to take fish on a wet fly-it is necessary to get the fly down where the fish are. This is done in two ways. One can use heavy hooks on the fly which will tend to sink it fast or use lead strips around the shank of the hook to weight it. The other way is to cast far enough upstream so the fly can sink by the time it ' reaches the place where the fish are lying. Both of these methods have their drawbacks. The weighted fly is hard to cast having a tendency to "lag" on the cast and double back over the line. The second method still doesn't get the fly deep enough in either loo slack or too fast water. Not too well . known on the market are the fairly new Dacron fly lines, known as sinking lines. These lines have 'two un usual characteristics. First they are much smaller in. diameter fhan a line of the same weight in Nylon.', second, they come out of the water much easier than either nylon or silk that is submerged. . Due to the fact that Da cron has a much higher spe cific gravity than nylon they sink very rapidly, in fact it is impossible to keep them on lop of the water. Throw a coil or two on the water in front of you and it immediately sinks. The, lines we used were Cortland Dacron sinking lines of two different sizes. The. only difference in the use of different sizes is to suit the weight of the rod not in their performance. POP OUT OF SIGHT " We found that' we could cast the line directly across, from us and momentarily the fly would float because of the "drying" it gets in the false casts. As the line hit the water it would immediately sink and before the fly had drifted but a few feet, it would pop out of sight due to the line drag. On the retrieve we found that we could lift much more line out of the water than with the conventional fly line because we had more weight on the line with a much smal ler diameter. The best method of retrieve was to "point the rod down the line, pick- up some coils of line with the free hand then with a sweep ing motion start the back cast ending with a 1 wrist-snap when the line was moving and the rod was in its full power arc. LIGHTER HOOKS With this line we could use the lighter hooks on the flies which had better pene trating qualities than the larger, heavier ones and still get them down where the fish were. I feel that these lines were responsible for the success we had. One additional feature in the use of the lighter hooks was that the lighter fly has a more life-like action in the water than the heavier model. I feel sure that the wet fly fishermen should inves tigate this method of get ting their flies down. There are some Dacron lines used in the area but very few although they have been on the market for four or five years. The cost of these lines is about the same as other quality fly lines. Bridges Goes To SL Cardinals St. Louis (UPD Left-handed h u r 1 e r Marshall Bridges, strikeout king of the Sacra mento club and the Pacific Coast league last season, to day was the new property of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Redbirds announced Wednesday night they bought the contract of the 6-1, 180 pound Negro, who fanned 207 in 232 innings this past summer. order that memories would be refreshed and that assign ments would be in mind if switch duties should be neces sary in the game, j Coach Fred Spiegelberg in dicated that he may go Fri day with the defensive unit which has done so well this season but gave a hint that there might be some changes in the offensive line. He re ported that Pat McLaughlin is battling Dennis Barr for the center post and that tack les Gordon Pathman and Jim Fontaine are pushing Monte Penwell and Don Harrison. Anderson Back John Frohnmayer and George Ice may get the call again at guards with Pete Ras mussen and Lowell Dean at ends. Jerry Anderson, who has been a regular end was back with the squad yester day after a week of absence because of illness. He may play against Klamath, but sparingly. Another who may see duty just in spots is halfback Ger ry Lyons, who is still trou bled with a shoulder ailment from the Marshfield game. Dick Ragsdale may again have first call at the left half slot with Ron Reich at right half, Bob Pond at quarter and Skip Bennett at full, although some lesser lights, Len Griggs, Ray Konopasek and Danny Sieg, performed well in the.posi tionsagainst Crater last week. In the Medford defensive front line may be Gary Wine- trout, Gary Heath, Mike Mur ray, Lynn Knight and Dennis Jensen. Fred and Al Funston and Jim Clark could be at linebackers, Cal Dean and Ken Durkee at halfbacks and Don Peek at safety. Secret Drills Klamath reportedly has been holding secret drills in order to cook up some upset procedure for the Tor'nado. Coach Andy Knudsen for Pel offense may call on Gary Krenenburg and Larry Bun yard or Wayne Dennis, ends; Nick Insley and Gary Han cock, tackles; Ron Weber and Bert " Frewing, guards, and Rich Moore, . center. In the backfield it could be Blake Griggs, quarter; Don Story and Ron ' Olvera, halfs,- and John Hancock and Ron House, full. For the Orland game last Friday the Pelicans were miss ing "regular center Charlton Currin, possibly out for the season with a knee injury, while House was slowed by a groin injury. " - Regular tackle Ron Ybarra and reserve guard Larry Ba dorek were dismissed from the squad last week for unex cused absences from practices, according to the Klamath Falls Herald and News. , 42 Scored By Davkins New York-flJPD-Pete Dawk ins, the lad who recovered from a boyhood polio attack to become captain of Army's football team, topped 'the na tion's major college players today in scoring with 42 points. Dawkins, a 197-pound half from Royal Oak, Mich., has scored seven touchdowns. He has a one-point edge over Colorado's Howard Cook. Cook's 25-point spree against Arizona last Saturday equalled the season's one-game high produced by Calvin. Bird of Kentucky against Hawaii. Patton Third NCAA figures showed Bill Patton of California third with 36 points... Bird, Dick Bass, College of Pacific half back, and Bill Austin of Rut gers have 32 points each on five touchdowns, and two extra points. Dave Hibbert of Arizona remained first in pass receiv ing with 22 catches, the high est four-game - total in five years. Ulma Randall, Vir ginia's senior halfback who has been ; clocked in 0.7 sec onds for 100 yards, is Hib berfs closest rival with 19 receptions. That is five more passes than he caught all last season.

But they'll feel a lot more comfortable if they can get by the Illinois Valley Coug ars. The Eagles, unbeaten in the loop which makes up the southern division of District 6 A-2, take on IV this Friday Yanks Could Be Peddled, Casey Says New York-IUPD-Casey Sten gel laid down the law to his world champion Yankees for next year and made it clear that it applies to everyone, even super-star Mickey Man tle, " ' : : : Stengel, wHo heads for Kis Glendale, Calif., home today with a new two-year contract that, could bring him nearly $100,000 a year, got a number of things off his. chest at Wednesday's gaa signing ceremony. The 68-year-old Casey pre dicted his 10th pennant in 11 years, then suddenly , grew solemn and warned some of his players they'll be peddled "if they fool around too much." Light a Fire Of course, Stengel certain ly isn't going to trade Mantle but a suspicion existed that he was trying hard -to light a fire under his celebrated center-fielder when he named Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Hank Bauer as the three greatest players he has man aged since . coming to the Yankees in 1949. "Well," Casey said, "he has everything to make him the greatest, but there are times he doesn't look like it. The whole thing is up to him. I know he can do i and I'll tell you something else, I'm very glad I have him." Getting back to the possi bility of dealing off some of his players, Stengel mention ed no names, but did say, "a player can't be satisfied with life and remain around here. That's a sure way of getting fired. We may have to make some trades we . don't want to make." - Butch Kimpton On Duck Squad ' Eugene (UPD Four letter men and a group of promising sophomores turned out Wednesday as basketball prac tice opened at the University of Oregon. Coach Steve Belko greeted guards Bud Kuykendall and Chuck Rask and forwards Stu Robertson and Dale Her ron from last season's team which turned in a 13-11 record. Among the top sophomore candidates were Butch Kimp ton, Bob Hunt, Dennis Strick land, Dale Jones, Murray Newton, and Leon Hayes. Biggest losses from last sea son are Charlie Franklin, the high scoring forward, and Hal Duffy, rugged center. ' : NOW On Display!

Other league scraps take Phoenix to Rogue River and Henley to Glendale on Friday. While Eagle Point is the prognosticator's choice, the Cougars are a' lot tougher ag gregation to be reckoned with than their 25 to 0 loss at the hands of Henley last week end would seem1 to indicate. That is brought out by a com parison of the ' EP and IV games with Phoenix. EP topped the Pirates 20 to 7 and the Cougars beat -Phoenix 26 to 13. Henley Needs Win . However, the Eagles have won 12 to 0 from Henley, vic tor over IV and have a 58 to 7 verdict over Glendale which the Cougars nosed 27 to 20. An Eagle Point win this Fri-1 day would eliminate IV from the chase. Henley needs a nod over Glendale tq keep in con tention. Bill- Hubbard,; an Eagle Point end, will be missing Friday. He's attending the na tional conclave of the Future Farmers of America. Jim Nease likely will, start in his place. Bill : Berryman may see considerable duty in the backfield. Paul Evers is press ing strong for a starting posi tion in the EP line. Pass de fense has been a big item of business for the Eagles this week. They have also sought to sharpen their offense. Foes Picked For Lillard Gordon Schultz, Jack Gard ner and Buster Forney will oppose Bill Lillard, Chicago, 111.,, nationally known, kegler, in exhibition matches tonight at Madford Bowlinglanes. Lillard, former national match game champ, is to ap pear about 9:15 p.m. Forney, an Ashland resi dent who bowls here, is cur rent high average man in the Men's Classic league, while Jack Gardner has best mark in the Elks league. Schulz was the only one to defeat Buddy Bomar, another nationally known bowler, who gave ex hibitions .here last July. Afternoon Matches In matches here this after noon Lillard went against Walter Daigle, Ray Wise and Fred Anderson. Lillard is a member of the Brunswick advisory staff of champions. He has been named to All-American teams three times , and has won many crowns. The public is invited to watch the exhibitions free of charge. Anderson, proprietor of the local lanes, has announced that junior bowling leagues will open their seasons this Saturday.

No sooner had Blaik hit the jackpot with Army's . ends split wide, than the craze swept the nation. It went like this: : 1- Duke announced that sprinter Dave Sime would be used on the wide flanker plays'. 2- Last week San Jose State came up with Ray Norton out at the side of the field. Norton is a sprint star ,who possibly has run the 100-yard dash in 9.4 more times than any per son in history. ' ' " 3 - Coach Bill Barnes of UCLA is going to install a flanker in the Bruins' single wing formation against Wash ington next Saturday. ": 4-And there may be af dozen or more of the "lonesome Louie" guys playing on the gridiron any given week. Strictly A Decoy In the case of Sime and Norton "lonesome Louie" has been strictly a decoy. In some other cases, the end out at the" other side of the field ac tually has done "some work. Of course, "lonesome Louie" is not exactly new. A quarter of a century ago there was the same type of 'play - a "sleeper" who attempted to hide among the officials, coaches, etc., along the side lines and then sneak onto the field just before the ball was snapped from center. The idea was he would be so far away from the opposition that he would be open for a pass. The football coaches out lawed this sneaky play, how ever, a decade or so ago. So far, they haven't taken up the current problem of "lonesome Louie." Dupas Winner Over Gil Turner ' Montreal-UPD-Ralph Dupas, who celebrated his 23rd birth day a day late with a shutout victory over favored Gil Turn er, said today he wants a title fight with welterweight cham pion Virgil Akins "real bad." The New Orleans ' young ster, a 7-5 underdog, was never in trouble against the f ourth - ranked Philadelphian who entered the ring with a IVz pound weight pull. Turner went in at 152 while Dupas weighed 144V. Dupas won every round on the cards of the three judges who scored the fight under the five-point must system. Judge Rene Ouimet had it 50-38, Judge Jim Regan had it 50-38 and Judge Leon Germain had it 50-35. The United Press International scored it 50-39 for Dupas. "YALE COACH TO.
