10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, April 3, 1959 towron's Injury ims Yankee Hope f Fast G By FRED DOWN United Press International The New York Yankee's hopes for another "blitz" get away in the American league pennant chase were dimmed today when slugging first- baseman Bill Skowron be came an unlikely starter in their April 10 opener. The muscular Skowron, who was batting a sizzling .446 this spring, suffered a bad wrench in his back be fore Thursday's game with the St. Louis Cardinals. A similar ailment caused him to miss virtually the entire 1957 World Series. The situation was consid ered so serious that even Whitey Ford's eight strong in nings in the Yankees' 2-1 vic tory over the Cardinals failed to lift Manager Casey Sten gel's spirits. Although a rugged-looking 195-pounder, Skowron is sur prisingly brittle and also is considered a slow healer. Past injuries included a broken thumb, a sprained back and ripped muscles suffered while Shasta Net Squad Tips SOC Team Ashland-Shasta junior col lege edged out the visiting netmen of Southern Oregon college 5-4 yesterday in Red ding, Calif. John Russell and Dick Clark were the only bright spots on the Raider charts be sides the singles win by John Root for the men of SOC.

Clark, Russell Team Clark and Russell then teamed to take a doubles match from Bill Hanni and Bill Fowler, 6-1, 6-1. In other action Bob Gouley, SOC, lost to George Hunt 6-0, 6-2, and Bruce Merrill, SOC, lost to Garry Birkland 6-2, 6-8, 6-1. In doubles action Hunt and Birkland beat Gouley and Root 6-2, 6-3, and Evans and Crews downed Merrill and Bob Kramer 6-4, 6-8, 9-7. Kramer had lost an earlier singles match to Shasta's Ken Johnson 6-3, 6-4.

Wisconsin, idaho State Boxers Tied Reno, Nev. - (UPD - Wiscon sin and Idaho State were dead locked for. first place with three points apiece today in the slugfest for the NCAA's team touranment boxing title which resumes tonight with several dandy bouts on tap. Trailing the Badgers and Bengals in the early scoring were defending champion San Jose State, Scaramento State, Cal Poly, Chico State and Michigan State all with two apiece. Bunched for third were Nevada, College of Idaho and Washington State. Tonight's best fight shaped up in the 165-pound class where Jesse Klinkenberg of Alaska and Washington State was to square off with Jim Floor of .Sacramento State. Klinkenberg, an Indian braw ler, won the 156-pound crown last year and is now seeking to dethrone Floor who holds the 165-pound title. Heavyweight Hassle Another good pair of battles were on top in the heavy weight division where Archie Milton, San Jose State's giant belter who holds the NCAA crown, meets Carl Looney of Nevada. The latter won the Pacific Coast light-heavyweight title last year. In another heavyweight bout, Hal Espy of Idaho State seeks to regain the NCAA title he held in 1957 when-he takes on Daryl Talken of Chico State: Under the NCAA scoring system, a victory during the first night's competition is good for one point. Tonight's semi-final victories will be worth three each while Satur day's final triumphs will mean five points apiece.

They were around 10 feet long and weighed around 100 pounds and each took a half-hour or so to bring into the boat. The 150-pound marlin at the right was taken by a fishing companion. Dippel also angled for the many smaller varieties of fish, most popular of which are mackerel and red snapper.

Garden People Give Up Date New York (UPD Madison Square Garden officials an nounced that they have relin quished the May 1 ' Friday night television date to the ri val promoters of the heavy weight title fight between Floyd Patterson and England's Brian London. This was the first indication that directors pf the dissolving International Boxing club and Cus d'Amato, Patterson's mam ager are "burying the hatchet" in their long-standing feud. D'Amato has refused to have Patterson fight under IBC promotion because he has charged the organization with a "television monopoly." Wizard Cos O "BLACK WASP" 60 h.p. Scott Outboard EMIGRANT LAKE, ASHLAND Sunday-1-4 P.M. WATER SKI EXHIBITION by Lon Skinner and Bill Wall Complete Sports Center Riverside at 8th Street Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank The salmon are arriving at Savage Rapids dam now and a few have been caught at Galice and Robertson bridge. These Rogue river spring Chi nook are world famous and are the best eating, best fight ing fish designed by mother nature for the enjoyment of the fisherman. The luckiest fishermen are down at Gold Beach now, trying for the first comers. SEARCH FOR A FORMULA The gam commission is still trying for the magic formula for increasing the spring e h i n o o k run by hatchery methods. They released 25,000 at Gold Hill last fall and another 25,000 were released last week at Galice. So far the fish bio logists haven't found where, when, and at what size these salmon must be planted in order to bring the best re turn, but they haven't given up and every year they are more certain as to what not to try. MORE SUMMER STEELHEAD The game commission is also attempting to build up the Rogue river summer steel head run. These are the fish which helped give the river its fame through the writings of Zane Grey. There were 25,000 planted last week. This was done by boat and 6 to 10-inch infant acrobats were put in riffles from Savaee Rapids on downriver for sev eral miles. There is a much higher percentage of survival when they are scattered be cause they adapt quicker to natural conditions in then search for food. Thev also learn to avoid predators, especially man with his well disguised hooks. LAST CALL FOR STEELHEAD Down in California, the Klamath is still producing fish of fair size, up to about six pounds. Most of these fish have spawned or are just about to and they are in poor shape to provide much sport. It is a type of fishing some fishermen re fer to as a last resort type of fishing. The fish do not fight and do not taste as good as a fresh run fish. But beggars can't be choos ers and some anglers have to fish for steelhead no matter what the conditions are. CHANGING CHANNELS The fish in Bear creek have been having a rough time this winter down by the McAn drews rd. bridge. A gravel operation there has been working in the stream bed and the channel has been changed several times, leav ing fish stranded in isolated pools. Belween poachers, pol lution, and parching, the fish of Bear creek have had a tough winter to live thrpugh. When one reviews all the trials these fish undergo, it's a wonder there are any left. Imagine what fishing the kids would have if Bear creek was cleaned up! Let's hope House Bill 472 is passed by the legis lature so that gravel removal from our streams is regulated and the fish can find their beds where they left them. A LAW WITH TEETH House Bill 587 is before the judiciary committee of the House and has to do with putting some very sharp teeth in the anti-pollution laws of the state. The present wording of this bill will make it a punishable DeVoss offense to put certain types of polluting materials into . any stream or body of water Under present law the authorities have to prove that the materials put in a stream are harmful to the fish at the time they are put in the water. Under the provisions of HB 587 the act of putting in foreign matter of certain types known to be harmful will be evidence enough to prose cute. COULD NOT BE ENFORCED If the bill passes and its provisions are enforced, the waters of Oregon would again become quite pure. The only difficulty is that it is doubt ful that the state could stand shutting down all industries which pollute the waters. These industries cannot stop polluting water because at present they have no other means of getting rid of their wastes. Money must be spent to find ways of treating these wastes by some other means, and until the people of Ore gon are willing to force the issue, enough time and money will not be spent and our streams will remain open sew ers for some time to come. HAVE A THERMOMETER? Trout season is approach ing and tackle boxes are getting a rearranging and a refurbishing with some of the fish-catching gadgets people have been dreaming up all winter. One gadget which isn't new is the fish ing thermometer and every serious fisherman ought to have one. Like finding your way . with a compass, the fisherman with a thermome ter is taking the guesswork out of fishing. You may not need it to catch a fish, but it can save you the hours you waste trying to catch fish where they aren't. Warning: Don't get one unless you're willing to learn how to use one. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Spring is here and trout season is almost. The salmon are coming and if you hook one he'll start out so fast you'll thing he's going to go all the way back to the ocean Meanwhile, the bass and cat fish are biting like mad, so content yourselves. . ' Rose Retains Swim Crown New Haven, Conn. (UPD Murray Rose, an Aussie swim ming in the Men's National AAU indoor championships with a 101-degree tempera ture, is favored to collect his second title in tonight's 220 yard free style final. Rose, who is defending three crowns, opened the championships on Thursday night by retaining the 1,500 meter title with a meet rec ord of 18 minutes, 18.4 sec onds. Rose will defend the 440-yard freestyle title Satur day. Rose led the University of Southern California to the team crown last year by scor ing 21 points and collected seven last night to get the de fending champions off to a good start. Rose cracked the meet mark of 18:20.2 George Breen set here three years ago. The 20 -year -old Aussie also clipped more than 10 seconds off the time of 18:2?.5 he reg istered .while winning last year but was well off the world mark of 17:28.7 held by John Konrads of Australia.

(UPD The' College All-Stars, based on their initial showing, should breeze through the Pan-American Games basketball trials without taking a deep breath. With Oscar Robertson and jumping Johnny Green show ing the way, the collegians turned back the Phillips Oil ers, 89-83, Thursday night after the Wichita Vickers rolled to an 89-73 triumph over the Armed Forces All Stars in the opening games of the round-robin tournament. In tonight's games, the Col lege All-Stars play the Armed Forces representatives and the Oilers meet the Vickers. The winner of the three-night tour nament will place from five to seven men on the U. S. team that will compete in this year's Pan-Am Games at Chi cago. Robertson, everybody's All- America selection from the University of Cincinnati, tossed in 23 points in the col legians' opening victory. How ever, Green was the night's biggest star as he added 20 points and grabbed 27 re bounds. West Impressive All-America Jerry West of West Virginia also was im pressive as he totaled 22 points, including a clutch bas ket with less than three min utes left that broke an 81-81 tie. Louisville's Don Goldstein then pumped in a long jump shot and Kansas State's Bob Boozer scored on a tip-in to sink the Oilers. The Collegians, although they have been playing to gether less than a week, dis played'remarkable teamwork. And their accuracy was out standing as they converted 53.7 per cent of their shots from the field. I Seven-foot Don Boldebuck, formerly of the University of Houston, was the big man 'in the Vickers' triumph over the Armed Forces All-Stars. He scored 24 points on hook shots and tip-ins and stymied the Armed Forces' attack by blocking more than a dozen shots. The Wichita team was held to a 37-37 tie at halftime and fell behind 50-47 early in the second half. But the AAU champions knotted the score again on a free throw and a hook shot by Boldebuck, then went ahead for good on a bas ket by Dan Swartz and three more field goals by Bolde buck.
