MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. i Friday, Jan. 8, 1960 SPORTS Spaulding Pin Leader Omaha, Neb. -ITD- Balding Harold Spaulding, who spill ed 1,349 pins in six games Thursday, held the lead as the second qualifying round in the 19th annual All-Star bowling tournament opened today. The 35 -year -old bowling house manager from Moline, 111., averaged 225 over the six-game route as all 240 men keglers began a series of qualifying games which won't end until Sunday Marge Merrick a 35-year-old bowling instructor from Dearborn, Mich., topped the women's field with a four game total of 831. Bunched behind Spaulding were Ray Bluth of St. Louis with 1,345, Joe Sato of Poca tello, Idaho, with 1,344 and Pat Patterson of St. Louis with 1,342. Cas Has Several Conferences on California Job New York -UPD-L en Casa nova, head football coach at Oregon, said Thursday he has conferred "several times in the last few days" with the University of California off! cials concerning the football coaching vacancy at Cali fornia. Casanova said he expects the talks "to continue." He declined, however, to indicate whether an agreement is pos sible. The California berth has been open since the resigna tion of Pete Elliott to become head coach at the University of Illinois. Greg Englehard, athletic di rector of California, declined earlier even to confirm that he has been meeting with to the Board of Trustees of the American Football Coaches association at the group's meeting here. 1st Methodist Rally Catches Sacred Heart First Methodist nipped Sa cred Heart Catholic 31 to 30 and First Presbyterian One trimmed Presbyterian Two 29 to 18 last night in opening games of the Men s league in YMCA church basketball.

This year, John Deere Day was once more a huge success, due to the fine turnout of our farmer friends and their families. We hope that you enjoyed yourselves, and will plan to be wtih us again next year. Especially do we wish to thank the ladies of the West Side Extension Unit for preparing and serving such a nice luncheon. We are grateful, too, for the cooperation of Manager Bob Corbin and his staff of the Craterian theatre. To those of you who had not previously seen our new home at 909 South Riverside, we hope you were pleased with our added space and facilities to offer you finer service than ever before and much easier parking. Be sure to come again often! Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank The sound of rain on the roof is almost unexpected aft er having asked Santa for a good rain and being disap pointed. Now wives can feel fairly certain that those hus bands who are afflicted with chronic hunting or fishing diseases will stop moping around and show signs of re covering their former zest. The new year's lull was a boon in one regard in that it gave many of us a chance to build up points for Our next series of forays in search of fish or fowl. The earning of housekeeping points is one way a sportman can keep his wife hoping that some day he might become almost house broken and that a little fish ing or hunting is all right. BIRD CENSUS Local waterfowl hunters will be interested in know ing that a one-day census South 3'2 Favorite Mobile, Ala. (UPD A fast and well-balanced South team today ranked as a 3Vi point favorite to trim a flashy but slower North squad in the 11th annual Senior Bowl Sat urday. The 25-man South squad was given the edge on the basis of its three quarter backs, "some good big backs who have excellent speed for their size," and its rugged de fensive men. North Coach Jimmy Lee Howell of the New York Gi ants, making his first appear ance in the All-Star classic, said Baltimore - Colts' Coach Weeb Ewbank's South team should be a 12 point favorite. Gasper Ortega Choice in Bout New York-(UPD-Gaspar Or tega, lanky Mexican welter weight contender, is favored at 8-5 to beat Stan Harring ton tonight and spoil the Ha waiian slugger's New York and TV debut. The 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden between ag gressive, long-flailing Ortega and bellicose, boring in Har rington will be televised and broadcast nationally by NBC at 7 p.m. (EST). Each is 26, each scored 21 knockout and neither has been stopped. But the long armed Indian from Mexicali is favored because of his greater experience in 70 pro fessional bouts: 30 more than sturdy, dark-haired Harring ton had. However, Harrington of Irish - English - Hawaiian de scent is rated the harder puncher because he achieved his 21 kayoes while winning 34 of his 40 starts. Ortega registered his 21 knockouts while winning 51 of his 70 bouts. last year and were defeated only twice in dual competi tion - both Times by Oregon State. Rogue , Inc. m Phone SP 3-7511 DeVoss count by our game biolo gist. Bob Mayben, turned up 505 ducks, 450 coots and 5 whistling swans in Jack son county. Last year the count was 101 ducks, 176 coots and 2 swans. This should indicate that there are plenty of birds around to shoot at if one knows where to look and if he knows how to shoot. It takes more than the firing line technique to be able to score locally. I suppose that's why I fish. A FENCE? The latest report from an almost apologetic bureau of reclamation assures us that those 200 promised deer cross ings are installed over the Howard Prairie delivery ca nal. The search for materials that might cover the entire canal has not been successful, but the B of R thinks there is a better chance of finding the necessary materials for a fence along the canal. This is better than no covering and the bureau should be pressed to proceed with this solution to their death-dealing blun der. FIiH CROP Cole Rivers, our local fish biologist, reports that 21. 456 yearling spring chinooic were planted in the river Dec. 23 and 24. These youngsters came from brood fish that returned in 1958; there were 7.7 of them to the pound and they were all fin-clipped in a special way in order that they will be identifiable when they return. An additional 21. 000 will be released in May and they will have yet a different fin clip for identi fication purposes. HIGH RETURN The release of the young salmon was made under the same conditions as a release made in December of 1954 which had phenomenal return of 4 per cent. The earlier plant was made from 1953 brood fish and the high return came in 1956, 1957, and 1958. Considering the fact that a normal return is usually less than one-half of one per cent, a 4 per cent return of a plant of spring chinook can be con sidered to be more than sig nificant. It is hoped by the game commission that this may be a solution to their pro gram of attempting to main tain and increase the spring chinook run in the Rogue river. YIKES. THE COPS1 The reported meetings of the Illinois Falls Salmon S naggers and Steelhead Poachers club have been a little short of members due to the efforts of the local game law enforcement offi cers. During the month of December, 17 members of the club were given cita tions for use of improper gear and for fishing in closed waters. Hurrah! The only regret is in the thought that this good work may not be enough' to cause the club to abandon the meet ings. SUPPORT. SUPPORT It is to be hoped that the good - results in arrests of poachers and snaggers will not be undone by some justice of the peace who will consid er a $10 fine to be proper punishment. Many of the game law violators who oper ate locally are used to a small fine and as a result they are repeated violators of our game laws. It's time that the fine for a second or third ar rest for the same violation be came a $200 or $500 shocker. Maybe it would jar the poacher into changing his ways. THE ANGLER'S LOG The winter steelhead run in the Rogue has been given all sort of plaudits, from "tremendous 1" to "It's out of this worldl" When three men in a boat can hook al most 60 fish in a couple of days, not too many fisher men would argue the point.' These are the stories that are coming out of the Ag ness area and it's enough to make an optimist out of any oldtime fishermen. For those who can't afford the time or money for a trip down there, the winter tea- son opening on the middle Rogue is only a week away and it might be just enough time for the fish to get here. Klamath River -Should .warm up a little and pick up for those who can t feel lucky on the Rogue or Illinois. Illinois River - Let's hope that the rain just raises the river enough to bring up that run of big fish. ' Smith River-This optimist's river ought to be a nice place to be this week end. A lot de pends on how much rain and when it quits. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The fishing and hunting in southern Oregon will get bet ter in direct proportion to the number of sportsmen willing to work toward better hunt ing and fishing. More and more of them are seeing the need for more than just obey ing the laws and having a good time. GOOD LUCK! NCAA Expected New York-flJPD-A new ma jor football bowl game was to be approved today by the National Collegiate Athletic association, which also was to vote on a rule aimed at cutting down the number of foreign athletes imported by U.S. colleges. The NCAA council refused to go into any details about the new bowl game before it was certified by the member ship. However, it was learned a New York group is consid ering staging a game to rival the Liberty Bowl in Philadel phia. Track, swimming, tennis and hockey would be the sports most affected if the rule applying to foreign ath letes was passed. Under the proposed rule, an PAULY IN MEET Corvallis-flJPD-Steve Pauly, freshman at Oregon State from Beaverton, will compete in the 50-yard high hurdles at the Los Angeles invitational track meet Jan. 22, Coach Sam Bell said today.

Tule Lake Bird Refuge Official Walton Speaker Jean Branson, assistant manager of Tule Lake Na tional Wildlife refuge, will give an illustrated talk on the refuge at the Monday, Jan. 11, meeting of the Jackson county chapter of the Izaak Walton league. The meeting will be in the American Red Cross building at Hawthorne ave. It will open at 8 p.m. Tentative angling regula tions set by the Oregon state game commission for 1960 will be discussed at the meet ing. The proposed regulations were being formulated at a meeting in Portland today. Recommendations for the Rogue river being presented to the commission are said to be drastic. Waltonians are ex pected to consider what stand they will take concerning the tentative rules. Members of the club said that all persons interested are invited to the meeting. Non members attending will be encouraged to express their views although they cannot vote with Witonians. Duck and goose hunters, IWL officials said, should be particularly interested in Branson's talk. The league, it self, is interested in the as pects of saving and improving the range and public hunting area. JOHANSSON TO CONFER New York (UPD Heavy weight champion Ingemar Jo hansson, who arrives from Sweden Sunday night, goes into closed-door huddles with the New York State Athletic commission Monday and with the district attorney and state attorney general on Tuesday. ftfc& rj$M 09 y y Wm IPSE f f I Get behind the wheel of a new Cadillac car some day soon point its handsome hood down your favorite stretch of highway and listen! , Except for the occasional lullaby of the passing breeze, there will be literally nothing but silence to greet your ears. But, oh, how meaningful that silence is! For it speaks, with irrefutable logic, of the ingenuity of Cadillac design and of the soundness of Cadillac , engineering and of the excellence and solid integrity of Cadillac craftsmanship. - . And just as silence is the voice of quality in a motor car so quality is the product of experience. For almost six decades, Cadillac has devoted itself VISIT SEE Fences Once Protected Game Do you remember the old "worm fences?" Probably you knew them as rail, or serpent fences, because of their crook edness. Rail fences played an im portant role in American his tory. At one time they liter ally held America together. From the questionable shelter of their skelton forms, the minute-men fired the shots that were heard around the world. Rails for fences were the material with which A. Lin coln's name is always closely associated. Today rail split ting is a lost art. Up until a few years ago rail fences were about the only barrier a land owner could throw up to enclose his holdings. They had some advantages. Wood was plenti ful, no post holes had to be dug. They ran all over the place, up and down the hills and around bends and trees. Of course they took up a great deal of room, the great er the zigs and the longer the zags, the less land the farm er had to plow. Along the zigs and zags of what we now look upon as a monstrosity, the bushes and grass grew undisturbed for years. Here in this sanctuary lived animals, great and small. Squirrels and chip munks, raccoons, opossums and foxes used them as high ways. They doubled the trav eling distance, but they were elevated lines where the height lent a measure of safe ty. In the "V's" lived game birds and song birds by the hundreds. Here grew wild grapes, elderberries and foods of a dozen kinds. Here was game cover, an ever-ending source of food and a measure Silence is the YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED CADILLAC SKINNER-BUICK-CADILLAC 143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE PHONE SP 2-6264 AND DRIVE THE Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M.

They can still be found in some parts of America. They serv ed a purpose; they enclosed an area and prevented live stock from wandering, but they imparted no beauty to the landscape. These have been pretty well destroyed or replaced by wire and today the existing ones are the target for photogra phers and tourists, who, hav ing lived in a state where pine forests did not exist, had nev er seen such a barrier.

So rigid, in fact, has been Cadillac's adherence to the principles of quality that the two have become virtually inseparable in the public mind. Never before, however, has this quest for perfection been as fruitful as for 1960. In its styling and design, in its construction and assembly, and in its attention to detail it is, far and away, the finest Cadillac yet.
