Earl fRed) Blaik has broken a nine month silence to reveal why he quit as West Point's foot fcall coach last Jan. 13. ; In a copyrighted article in Jhe current issue of Look tnagazine, Blaik admitted Ihere had been a conflict of ariews between him and the Superintendent about West Point's football program but insisted the "disagreements" jwere "a minor factor" in his Resignation. "Let me emphasize that the superintendent's position on ihis matter was as honest as ny "own, declared Blaik in Jiis Look article. "But I be lieve his thinkiiTg was pre dicated oh the days when the rmy schedule did not com ; Jarein toughness with what jthe cadets take on today." 'Unthinkable ; Blaik stressed that his Siealth and a business offer :too challenging to refuse, not these "disagreements," were the main reasons for his resig nation, coupled with his con viction that "it is unthinkable io overstay a career." : Recalling the much-publicized expulsion in 1951 of 90 cadets," 37 of them members "of the football squad, Blaik criticized the handling of the -affair. ' ,. . . "I shall always believe and Dot without good reason, that if football players had not keen involved in such whole sale numbers, the violation tvould have been internally esolved," Blaik declared.

' (UPI Telephoto) Public Support Needed In Effort To Get Funds To Protect Deer, Cattle Disguising Game Birds Unlawful It is illegal to disguise in any manner the sex or iden tity of game birds and animals while in the field or while re turning home from their hunt ing excursions, the Oregon game commission has empha sized. This law applies to big game animals as well as up land game birds and water fowl. Specifically, the Oregon law states that it is unlawful at any time for any person with in the state to mutilate or have in possession the carcass or skin of any game animal in any manner as to disguise the sex. The law states further that it is unlawful for any per son to have in possession the plucked carcass in any man ner so as to disguise the spe cies and kind of any game bird while in the field- or forest, or while upon any highway, train, car, boat or other con veyance when returning home from any hunting trip with gun or other hunting equipment. In other words, hunters should retain some kind of identifying feature of the bird or animal so there will be no question as to its sex or kind. With big game animals the head or antlers are sufficient identification while in camp or in transit. . - With game birds, the game commission advises to leave the legs and feet and the un plucked head and heck at tached to the bird. Hunters may piuck or skin the rest of the bird if they ,so desire, but leaving the head and feet at tached gives positive identifi cation as to species anct sex. Requiem Mass For Bert Bell 1 Philadelphia -(UPD Nation al football league commission er Bert Bell, under whose guiding hand professional football assumed the heights of popularity and financial stability, was buried today at Calvary cemetery near histor ic Valley Forge, Pa. Interment followed a sol emn requiem mass at St. Mar garet's Roman .Catholic church in suburban Narbeth which was attended by the great and near great of the sporting world and numer ous players whose , welfare Bell always had in mind. Bell died of a heart attack Sunday.. COLUMBIA CLOSURE Portland - Oregon anglers are reminded by the game commission that effective Nov. 1, and continuing through the entire month, the Columbia river and all its tributaries will be closed to salmon ang ling. This ruling includes the Columbia and all tributary streams that drain into the Co lumbia from eastern Oregon to the Pacific ocean. P. W. Schneider, state game direc tor, said that this ruling was put into effect in order to pro tect remnant races of silver salmon that enter the Colum bia system during the month of November. These races, of fish are low in numbers, Schneider said, and require full protection from commer cial and sport anglers il they are to survive. , Need of public sentiment to back the bureau of reclam ation in securing Congress ional appropriation to fence or cover the Howard Prairie delivery canal was brought out Monday evening at a meeting of the Jackson Coun ty chapter of the Izaak Wal ton league. The fencing or covering would prevent deer and cat tle losses in the canal which is part of the Talent division reclamation project. Background on the problem was Outlined by Charles Shep ard, lands agent for the Ore gon state game commission in southwestern Oregon. He showed colored slides, of the- canal, illustrating the heavy deer losses this summer in the canal and the efforts of the animals in trying.Jo get out. v Shepard reported that the bureau of reclamation has funds for and is constructing 200 additional deer crossings for the canal which lies across the path of the Green Springs migratory herd. He described these crossings as a stop-gap measure which is bound to save some deer and will "cov er" 1,000 more, feet of the ca nal. There have been about 35 crossings on 17 miles of canal. Tendency . of the deer to wear themselves out in their efforts to get out of the canal was told by Shepard who maintained that no amount of escape ramps are going to prevent loss of the animals. It. doesn't seem feasible for a fawn to get out of the water, the game man said.' Secondary Lou Shepard said that BR reme dial measures' have included a patrol along the canal but, he said, one patrol is not good enough and that patrolling is not the answer. The game agent reported that it is hard to follow up "secondary loss es" - deer which escape from the canal but. which are lost because of injury. Covering the trapezoidal section and fencing the rec tangular section of the canal have been suggested and both redwood and concrete' slabs have been proposed. There is I question as to whether red wood, which is cheaper, would support the weight , of cattle. It was pointed out that con crete would help eliminate maintenance of the canal as well as stock and deer losses. Water in the canal is shut off now and will be through the fall migration.- However, the water is to be turned in next April and in the fall of 1960 there will be no shut-off since the water will be need ed to operate the power plant. It was stated that there are no BR or irrigation district funds for covering or fencing the canal, and that non-reimbursable cost is involved.' Hunting Outlook Good Armin Richterv new mem ber of the Walton chapter, said that conservationists must get together as taxpay ers on the canal matter. Rich ter, president of the Jackson County Stockmen's associa tion brought out that there has been cattle loss in the canal. Shepard reported that the hunting situation looks good for this area. He said that there is a good population of upland birds and an excellent carry over of buck deer. He stated that bird hunting out look is good if no fog de scends. A lot of hen pheasants are - lost in foggy weather when hunters mistake them for cocks, according to Shep ard. He reported good coyer and good food for birds. Shepard only recently was appointed lands agent and has been replaced as field agent in this area by Bob Mayben, who was introduced at the Walton meeting. Buck Antelope Kill Totals 444 , Portland - Antelope hunters took a total of 444 buck ante lnnp .-this vear according to final statistics compiled by the game commission. Of some 798 hunters who took to the ranges after these nimble f noted desert dwellers. 55.6 per cent or slightly more than half came away successful. Last year 554 hunters re- nnrtpW takinff 214 antelODe t for a 6.7 per cent success ratio. Highest success this year was reported in Area II which included the Klamath, inter state, and Warner units where 132 hunters reported bagging 95 antelope for a success ratio of 71.9 per cent. ODELL LOW GROSS Dr. Ralph Odell was low gross with. 69 in a week end golf sweepstakes at Rogue Valley Country club. John Nuich had' a 72 and Eddie Simmons a 74. Bob Morris had low net with a 67. Other nets included . Max Millhollin 68, Norm Hillyer 70 and Pat Lynch and Nelson Gallant each 75. - ' . Bulldogs Prime For Trip to GP It's hard drill this week for the McLoughlin Junior high ninth grade football team in preparation for the . Friday game with South Grants Pass in the Climate city. After a week's rest with very little contact on the prac tice field, the Bulldogs have their work cut out for them, according to coach Ralph Perkins, if they expect to show improvement over their recent game with Ashland. The Friday fracas could be tough, Perkins pointed out. He mentioned that the Crater freshmen were held to just a 14 to 0 decision by South and that Crater is considered one of the tough teams in the Frosh circuit." Mac, so far this season, has been a second half ball club. The Bulldogs -have shown lit tle or nothing the first half then have come back and' Dlaved fine football in the' last two periods. Perkins said that he and his staff expect' this situation to change in this week's game. Providing no injuries occur, the offensive and defensive starting clubs will be much the same as they were against Ashland.
