i Two Touchdown Passes &3ve West Edge on last Monutes . San Francisco - (UPD - South ern Methodist's brilliant Don Meredith threw two "do or die" touchdown passes in the last three minutes of the game Saturday to give the underdog West a bone-crunching 21-14 victory over the East in the 35th annual Shrine football classic. Packing all the drama of a great game into the last quar ter, Meredith, end Chris Bur ford of Stanford, and half Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank The desire for a gun seems to be a necessary part of most masculine egos and there is no doubt that this Christmas saw many such desires ful filled. The small frys feel naked without a tiedown hol ster and cap pistol; big broth er may have a pellet or BB gun, or even a .22; Dad thinks a Magnum may help him make those long shots and must have one. This is an accepted part of our day of life and yet if junior shoots a few song birds to see if his gun works all rieht or if Dad shoots a guy over a hill a half-mile off, a hue and cry goes up to take away the guns. Certain lv there could be a few so naive to think that a law will prevent criminals, from pos sessing firearms and yet this seems to be the case. Let's outlaw cars, they kill about 38,000 a year! NO KNIVES PLEASEI . New York is again bound to make the limelight as the .origin of misguided legis lation through the introduc tion of a law to prohibit any perion under 21 to have in his possession in any public place any knife -or sharp-pointed or edged instrument that may be used for cutting or punc turing unless its posses sion is necessary for law ful purposes. It's difficult to under stand why the law doesn't include beltbuckles. bot tles that can be broken, combs such as those in vogue locally, rings, rocks in hand, etc. The point is that you can't pass a law to prevent a person from committing mahem on his fellow man by use of a weapon because almost anything can be a weapon.

' New York 128, Cincinnati 118 back Dick Bass of College of Pacific brought the 60,000 partisan fans in Kezar sta dium to their feet with their heroics. The winning touchdown was set up when a pass inter ception gave the West the ball on its own 35. With a minute to go, Meredith tossed a dinky little pass to the sidelines that Bass bobbled then pulled in to score on a nine-yard play. The West, which appeared DeVoss serve the purpose for which they are intended because they do not get at the root of the matter, which is at titude of the person with the weapon. He's not think ing about law when he puts the weapon to use. POLLUTION? There should be some ob jection to the proposed land fill method of garbage dis posal which the sanitary serv ice wants to try this next year. The objection shouldn't be to the method itself but to the place where they want to dump the garbage. The proposed site is along Bear Creek downstream from Up ton bridge on the side away from Central Point. A bull dozer is to push a bank up next to the stream and the garbage will be dumped right behind it. Then it will be mashed down and covered, first with rocks and clay and then with topsoil. NOT AT ALL! One might wonder whether or not the garbage will be washed out into the creek during a flood. The answer given to this argu ment is that there will be no more floods because the Talent project will prevent it. It's heartening to find such optimism in the valley since the '55 flood but let's hope it isn't misplaced. Since Gold Hill and Grants Pass use the river water for drinking purposes it would seem much more sensible to locate such a method for garbage dispos al in a more remote and unaffecling area. It would be foolish to wait until a possible flood caused a pol lution problem and then consider ' such an alterna tive site. POACHERS MEET A meeting of the Illinois Falls Salmon Snaggers and Steelhead Poaching club was held this Thursday and out siders definitely were NOT invited. The meeting was at the falls, a place noted for its entertainment values, just at dusk and the members ex pected it to be a rewarding one. Past experience has taught the members to exer cise the proper amount of caution in this outing and they have little to fear in what they consider a right ful function. CALL THE COPS? Although it isn't the eas iest thing for some people, the responsible sportsmen must realize that the only way to slop this obvious thievery is to yell for the cops and keep on yelling until something is done. The problem of snagging and poaching is a constant one and the state police seem to need help in order to do something about it. It's time the sportsmen let them know we want the laws enforced by doing something other than watching them try. Maybe it could be done. THE ANGLER'S LOG The water has been so cold the past week that only the most persevering and lucky fishermen have been able to connect. The temperature of the Rogue at Gold Ray dam has been below 40 degrees and that puts it barely above 40 in the lower river. Since 41 degrees seems to be the point that determines wheth er or not a fish moves, a nice warm rain is what we should order from the weath erman. Illinois River Has been cold and clear but some fish are moving. A big run is re ported in the Briggs creek Oak flats area. Earlier fish are scattered and hard to hook. Klamath River Has been very cold and clearer. Not much activity from fish or fishermen. Rogue River-A big run of winter steelhead is reported up in the Marial area. Since this is the deadline until win ter season opens, those who can make it down to Mule creek ought to give it a try. . Smith River-Cold and very clear. Lots of fish in the riv er but they won't hit the us ual gear. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Make a resolution to fish oftener and take a youngster along. HAPPY NEW YEARl beaten whm it trailfvf with three minutes to go, got the tying score on a break. The East had the ball on its own 20 when Michigan quarter back Dean Look fumbled. Oregon's John Wilcox, who had a fine day, recovering one other fumble and inter cepting a pass, recovered for the West. On the first play, Meredith faded back and then shot a high 21-yard bullet into the outstretched hands of Burford. For his fine playing in the victory, Meredith was chosen the game's outstanding player. Lou Cordileone, 245 - pound Clemson tackle, was named the outstanding lineman. Second Half Spectacular Nearly all of the spectacu lar play was reserved for the second half of the game. The lone first half score came in the second period and gave the West a 7-0 halftone lead. Wilcox recovered a lost fumble on the East 18. Five plays later, fullback Jack Spikes of Texas Christian plunged over for the score. The East tied it up in the third (period on a powerful 59-yard march in 10 plays with Ohio State's Bob White plowing over from the two. During this drive the line play was so vicious and hard hitting that the crack of hel met against helmet and shoul der pad against shoulder pad could be heard above the din clear up to the press box. The East, now appearing to be in complete charge, went ahead early in the fourth period on a beautifully exe cuted 52-yard pass-run play from Izo to end Don Norton of Iowa. Norton took the ball on the West 40, got two beau tiful blocks in open field and ran alone into the end zone. It was then that the East started making mistakes. The first came when Look fum bled and the West recovered to score and the. second when the East voted against playing fm- a tie and started throwing with abandon while still deep in its own territory. The line plav was so rugged in the first half that the for ward wall was taking all the riav from the backs. Cordi leone, Jim Houston of Ohio citato Tri Aucreman of Indi ana and Dick Michael of Ohio 3tao freauently broke through to throw the West ball-packers for losses. Center Sonny Holland of Montana State, guard Arm strong of Texas Christian ana Ben Robinson of Stanford, guard Jim Davis of Oklahoma and Wilcox were outstanding up front for the West Ciincinnati Ends Celtics' Streak United Press International Detroit must be Coach Red Auerbach's jinx town. He led his Boston Celtics into the Motor City Friday night with a 17-game winning streak and a chance to set a new National Basketball association consecutive vic tory record. Instead, the Celtics wound up with only a share of the record after dropping a 128 115 decision to the Cincinna ti Royals, the circuit's poor est team, in the first game of a holiday doubleheader. The Detroit Pistons pulled away in the third and fourth per iods to defeat the St. Louis Hawks, 119-107, in the night cap to give new Coach Dick McGuire his first victory. In the only other holiday game played, the Syracuse Nationals gained their fifth straight victory by beating the Minneapolis Lafers, 109 98. ATHLETE DIES Arab, Ala. (UPD - Billy Rhoads, a promising college football star, climbed atop a brush pile to flush a rabbit while hunting on New Year's Day. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell backward. His 12 gauge shotgun discharged and the blast struck Rhoads in the chest. He died moments later in the arms of his brothers, Harold, 22, and Glenn, 18, his companions on the hunt. Young Rhoads, 20, entered the University of Alabama last fall and was an "excellent prospect" on the freshman football squad. RUBBER PIONEERS Brazilians are the world's oldest producers of rubber. a?

The crowd of Arkansas Winner in Gator Bowl By NORMAN MILLER Jacksonville, Fla. - (UPD -Jim Mooty, a sandy-haired speed boy who nearly quit football this year because of head injuries, bolted 19 yards from scrimmage in the third period Saturday to give Ar kansas a come-from-behind 14-7 victory over Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl. The triumph climaxed the best football season in Ar kansas history and sullied the hitherto spotless bowl coaching record of Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd. Dodd's teams previously had won eight bowl games. A Gator Bowl record crowd of 45,104 watched coach Frank Broyles' Razorbacks complete "meat grinder" touchdown marches of 62 yards in the second period and 78 yards in the third. During those two sustained drives, Arkansas threw only one pass. This was Arkansas first major bowl victory in three tries. Mooty, who had decided to give up football at the close of the 1958 season because of headaches, dizziness and tem porary loss of memory result ing from high school head in juries, contributed vital rush ing yardage In each march. Most Valuable Mooty, who picked up 99 yards in 18 carries for an av erage of 5.6 yards per try, was voted the most valuable player on the Arkansas team. Maxie Baughan, Georgia Tech's All-America center, who played a brilliant defen sive game was elected the Yellow Jackets outstanding player. On his game winning run, Mooty took a pitchout from quarterback Jim Monroe, cut in over right tackle, picked up a key block and went over for the score. Fred Akers then kicked the second of his two conversions. In the first period Georgia Tech quarterback Marvin Tib betts sprinted 51 yards from scrimmage for a touchdown. However, Arkansas, which had possession of the ball for only four plays including one punt during the entire first period, came storming back in the second. Taking over the ball on their own 38 after a Georgia Tech quick kick, the Razor backs ground out yardage in small chunks, taking 18 plays to complete their touchdown march. Joe Paul Alberty, 178 pound fullback, plunged over from the one.
