"If I had to single out any one for special praise, it would have to be our two guards, Hugh Ahlering and Harold Cox," coach Arid Mc Cutchan said. Both Ahlering, voted the most valuable player of the three day finals, and Cox, are seniors. The Hoosier hotshots, third in last year's tourney, trailed only one at the outset when Dale Russell hit a one-hander from the side. A drive-in by Aherling and a lay-up by Mel Lurker put the Aces ahead for good. Playing a tight man-to-man defense, Evansville forged in to a 44-38 half time lead. Sfeelhead Released in Rogue River Grants Pass The Oregon Game commission began re leasing the annual allotment of summer steelhead to the Rogue river last week. Cole Rivers, field agent for the commission, reported 25,000 steelhead are being stocked between Greens creek, located below Savage rapids, and Robertson bridge. The fish are ranging from 5V2 to 10 inches in length and were raised at the commis sion's hatchery at Bandon. Because the steelhead that were released in March 1958 did not disperse and migrate down out of the Rogue until after the trout season opened, this year's stocking operation is being conducted with the use of a planting boat to evenly spread the stocked fish out over 13 miles of river. Some of the fish planted last year were caught by trout anglers before they could go to the ocean to grow into large steelhead. Preferred Riffles The specialized boat is fill ed with fish and water and kept afloat by pneumatic tubes mounted along the sides. As the boat is towed down the river, scoops force water in and out of the boat to keep the fish alive. A gate is pulled in the back of the boat to let the fish drift out onto preferred riffles. This improved stocking procedure is expected to encourage an earlier downstream migra tion and to reduce the catch of these valuable fish by anglers if the fish choose to remain in this section of river as late as the opening of trout season on May 30. Most of the returning adult steelhead from this year's planting are expected to ap pear in the angler's creels in the summer or early fall of 1960. Those planted last year should return as adults in 1959.
