Eugene - (UPD- R on Stover, star pass catching end for the University of Oregon last sea son, indicated today he plan ned to play professional foot ball with the Toronto Arga nauts of the Canadian pro league. Stover was drafted Wednesday- by the Detroit Lions in the final round. Sto ver said the Canadian team had offered him a "very at tractive" deal. "I believe I'll have a better chance of play ing right away in Canada than I would in the U.S.," he said. .'. Mantle Sends Back Contract Unsigned By FRED DOWN United Press International Mickey Mantle, the Yan kees' famed long-range bomb er, fired a hot potato from Dallas, Tex., to New York to-day-and dropped it right in the middle of General Man ager George Weiss' lap. "Just say I'm dissatisfied, period," growled the 27-year-old home run king after an nouncing that he has returned his unsigned contract to the Yankees. "You can add that I'll never take a pay cut. I'm planning on a raise." The size of the pay cut of fered Mantle, who earned an estimated $75,000 last season, ranged from a "token cut" of $3,000 to a huge bite of $15, 000. Weiss did riot say wheth er Mantle would be offered a cut in his press conference Tuesday but he did say a few of the world champions would be unpleasantly surprised when they saw their contracts. Averages Fall Off , Mantle's average in 1958 fell off to .304 compared to his .365 of 1957 but he led the league with 42 homers, knocked in 97 runs and can argue he is the American League's No. 1 drawing card both at home and on the road. It is still too early to tell whether Mantle and Weiss are about to carry on one of those old-time disputes in the tradi tion of Babe F.uth and Ed Bar row, but it is possible that they are as much as $27,000 apart at present. Until re cently it was believed Mantle Pro Tiff Slated For Portland Portland - (UPD The Minne apolis Lakers and the Cincin nati Royals will play a Na tional Basketball Association game here Feb. 12, promoter Harry Glickman said today. The two NBA professional teams will play in the Oregon Centennial Building which has a seating capacity of 8000. Glickman said the two teams would meet the pre vious night in Sah-Francisco.

The Yankees are used to trouble in signing their high priced perennial champions but they haven't had a real "page-oner" since 1937 when Joe DiMaggio held out until the closing weeks of spring training. From a -tactical point of view, offering Mantle a slice is a double-edged sword. The Yankees obviously would gain the upper hand with every other player on the club if they can get Mickey to agree to a cut. On the other hand, it is unlikely that many other Yankee stars - will come to terms until they have a f air idea how Mantle fared. Don Jordan Bout Choice Los Angeles -(UPD Don (Ge ronimo) Jordan, the world's welterweight champion, is a 3-1 favorite to lick rugged Al varo Gutierrez of Mexico to night in a 10-round "over weight" match which may technically be Jordan's first title defense. Jordan, who scaled only 145 two pounds below the welterweight limit when he won the title from Virgil Akins here last Dec. 5, plans to enter the ring at 147V2. But Gutierrez, also a "light" welterweight, has indicated he may come in under the limit. Matchmaker George Par nassus said the fight origi nally was contracted with a stipulation, that Gutierrez weigh more than 147. The state athletic commission had the clause removed, however, under a rule which prohibits placing a minimum weight re striction on a boxer. Reporters, meanwhile, un covered another rule which states that a title will be at stake "in all cases where the official weighing in shows the opponent to be within the maximum weight limit of the class." Clayton' Frye, commission secretary, said flatly today that the title would not be in jeopardy "because the fight is not scheduled for 15 rounds and does not have official commission - sanction as a championship match." Red Raiders Pace Loop Portland 1 (UPD - Southern Oregon's 1-2 punch of Dave D'Olivo and Punk Bidding ton lead the individual offen sive parade of the Oregon Collegiate Conference, ac cording to statistics released today.

MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfori, Or9en, Thursday, January 22, 1959 11 Columbia River Salmon Angling Closure Talked Portland (UPD - The state game commission said today salmon anglers may get a complete closure on the Co lumbia river and its tribu taries during November if a proposal now before the com mission is approved Friday. The commission will set fi nal sports fishing regulations after a hearing here on that day. The closure would prohibit taking of salmon and jack salmon during the November period and would include the entire Columbia river and all tributary drainages during November.
