I one of Oregon's all-time hoop
greats. He is the Metro loop
I scoring champion with 232
I points and a 20.1 per game
scoring average. His top point
effort in single games have
been 32 and 31.
Roelandt classifies Pauly as
every bit as good a backboard
man as Bob Peterson of Kla
math Falls and a better of
fensive player. Beaverton has
a good fast break and Pauly
has the ability to both get the
ball off the board and lead
the break. The Beaver star
gave evidence of his speed and
agility as state champ in both
high and low hurdles last
spring.
Beaverton has a second tall
regular in 6-5 Bill Moore who
is a good rebounder. Rounding
out the usual starting five are
5-11 Larry Clark, and 5-10
Ralph Rittenour and Jiggs
Burnett. Rittenour was the
team's second leading scorer
in league play with 162.
Among the reserves who play
quite a bit are two 6-1 hoop
sters. 10-4 Metro record was com
piled by Beaverton which tied
David Douglas in the circuit
and walloped the Scotts in a
Tuesday play-off.
Ted Wilson is the Beaver
coach.
Medford and Beaverton are
no strangers in athletic riv
alry. The Tornado tripped the
Beavers in a 1956 state cage
tournament started and fell
before that school in the 1957
football quarter-finals.
The Black Tornado of Med
ford will have its final game
workout on Monday afternoon
and will leave on Tuesday
morning for Eugene. Players
rested today after a practice
yesterday afternoon. Roelandt
is stressing conditioning and
polish in current workouts
along with working to conter
act the offensive and defensive
tactics expected to be taken
by the Beavers.
Jerry Anderson, Medford's
all-conference player and top
scorer and rebounder has
been nursing a charleyhorse
but is expected to be ready
for the tourney opener.
Roelandt has not yet named
his tournament squad. Each
school is allowed 10 players.
The Medford men said that the
Tornado will take just the 10,
with no alternates, to Eugene.

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.
