Louise Suggs Opening Leader Dallas, Tex. - (UPD - Louise Suggs, who grew up with golf clubs as her toys, started the second round of the $10,000 Dallas Civitan Women's Open today with a two-stroke lead after conquering both par and gale-like winds on he$ open ing tour. The 35-year-old Sea Island, Ga., veteran, who has won just about every title avail able in golfdom and who rangs No. 2 in money win nings among the proettes, carved heself a neat 34-36-70 Thursday despite a bogey bogey finish over the par. 36-35-71 Glen Lakes Country Club layout. Woods, Wafer, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss One of the greatest diffi culties the sportsman groups have is poor public relations. The general public has the distinct impression that these groups are only after more fish and game and that when they raise their voices in pro test, which is something they are driven to do frequently, they are opposed to anything which may jeopardize their hunting and fishing. There is truth in this only insofar that these groups see no need to give up these satisfying pur suits and will fight to main tain them. They fight because they feel these values can not be replaced. FAME AND A NAME Th. local Izaak Walton league chapter gained a rep uiation because of its oppo sition lo the Lewis creek dam and since then has been regarded by many as the group which is hinder ing the development of the valley. This is true in that it tries to hinder certain types of development. It is a conservation group and its policies stale the devel opment of our resources should be for the greatest good of the greatest number and that the continued . wise use of a resource is far better than the exploitation ' which destroys in the name of progress and dollar ex NOT IN OPPOSITION A recent news release states that the local IWL chapter will not endorse tentative projects. This seems to say that the IWL is again in op position to development. The TRUTH is that the IWL is NEITHER IN FAVOR NOR OPPOSED to any tentative plan of development. Who wants to buy a pig in a poke? The question of whether or not a dam is favored on the Rogue depends on what kind of a dam, and for whose bene fit will it be run. Should it be only for those who build their homes on the gravel bars of the river, or only for those who want to irrigate more land, or only for those who want more fish; or should it be for the good of the greatest number? The resource affect ed belongs to all of us. 'Nuff said. DEER IN FINE SHAPE Charlie Shepard, our lo cal game biologist, reports that the Jackson county deer herd has been winter ing high and is in good shape. There is an excellent carryover of bucks -from last year, giving a ratio of about 39 bucks lo 100 does. The range is in average con dition in spite of a dry fall and unless the summer and fall turn out lo be especially dry, there should be a bo nanza season on bucks this year. A SMALL ELK HERD Charlie also reported that the Jackson county elk herd A Self-Unloading Forage I'Jagon for Quick Side or Rear Delivery!

"The former's Store Since 1884" 25 South Riverside - Medford is wintering in the northeast portion of the county around the middle fork, of the Rogue river. There is a lot of scat tered sign and indications of some calves with the herd. The herd is small but has an excellent chance of growing larger of the Doachers and mother nature give it a break. Once the herd reaches a cer tain size and proportion, it will have a DODulation suree and could sand more hunting pressure without being hurt. REASONS FOR SIZE One reason it has remain ed so very small for so many -years is that the poachers kill off a few cows and calves every year in stead of Ihe older bulls and thereby wipe out the natur al increase. However, the biggest factor governing herd size will be the limited winter range. It will sup port only so many elk and will curtail the growth of the herd beyond a certain number. WHICH STEELHEAD? There has been a great deal of muttering against the game commission and its policy of setting the deadline for win ter steelhead fishing on the Rogue at the mouth of the Applegate. There are those who think the deadline should be moved up to Shady Cove and want to know why not. According to Cole Rivers, the fish biologist, the basic reason for the policy is that the Rogue has three separate races of steelhead: summer, fall, and winter, and each has its own management problem. This complicates things so that moving the deadline up the river would involve more than just fishing for winter steelhead. PROBLEM OF SPAWNERS The summer and fall steelhead are fished for heavily until the season closes in November. By this lime over 50 per cent of these runs have been caught and Ihe rest go up lo spawn during the early pari of the winter. When the winter steelhead season opens on the Rogue, the river above . Ihe mouth of the Applegate is full of spawnouls return ing lo the ocean. Since these spawnedoul fish are very easy lo calch in this condi tion, they are the fish most likely harvested instead of Ihe winter steelhead. POLICY FOR BIG FISH The1 game commission be lieves that the catch of the summer and fall runs is very high and as many as possible should be allowed to return to the ocean. This is the only way we will continue to get a return of big fish because big fish that get up to spawn pro duce big fish that get up to spawn. , THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER ' The rumor persists that the Klamath river has fresh run steelhead in it and re ports indicate that these are early summerrun fish. Also the upper Klamath by Keno is producing fine' catches on worms. Let's go practice for the 25th. GOOD LUCK! Shrine Game Date Changed Portland - (UPD -' Officials of the 12th annual Shrine All Star football game here have announced a change in the date of the contest. The game had been set for Aug. 8 in Multnomah stadium. The new date is Aug. 15. Under, the new schedule State and Metropolitan team members will report for prac tice here Aug. 1.

Central at 10th Ailments Hinder Black Tornado, Comets for Hayvard Relay Meet Despite the flood of ail ments which have weakened the two squads Medfo'rd and Crater High schools plan to have full entries Saturday in the annual Hayward track and field relays at Eugene. Medford will enter in the metropolitan class for schools of 1,000 or more students and Crater in Class B for schools of more than 500 students. The Black Tornado will be out to regain lost prestige and Crater's Comets to better the second place finish they made in their class last year and in 1957. Medford until last season had never finished less than second in the Hay wards. It has won 159 of 19 of those meets in its class and was riding on a six-victory string in the University of Oregon cinder classic until falling to seventh last year. Coach Dean Benson, in dis cussing his Medford squad's woes in preparing for the Hay wards during the past several days, remarked that "it is just like being jinxed."

New York - (UPD - Inten tionally, wide of beam and broad of chest, looks more like a sprinter than a Ken tucky Derby horse. But the colt will get a crack at the mile and one-quarter classic on May 2 if he makes a good showing in New York's Wood Memorial, a furlong shorter than the Rose Run.

My Recipe, his dam, is a daughter of Discovery, who could carry high weights over long routes. Yet competent horsemen believe Intentionally best suit ed for sprints and middle dis tance races. His record to date bears this out. Everytime he has won, the jet black colt, foaled at the Wolf Run farm near Lexing ton, either has gone to the front immediately or taken the lead shortly after the start. Whenever he was far ther back than second, he never was able to win. But his record also shows that in 1958 he was quick enough to win five of his 11 races and finish second in four others. Since he' won two of the richer races for juveniles, his earnings reach ed the impressive total of $285,933. Intentionally's biggest vic tory was scored in the 1958 Futurity stakes at Belmont park. In this race, worth $80, 690 to the winner, Intention ally beat First Landing by a length, the only time all sea son any horse was able to lick the champion.

Alley Spear Toss Heads Top Marks Lawrence, Kan. - (UPD - An American record javelin toss of 270-1 V6 by Kansas univer sity's Bill Alley spearheads the NCAA's first outdoor track and field statistics of the year.
