Stilt- Scoring Reaches 2,011 United Press International Syracuse can't handcuff Wilt Chamberlain, but the Nationals can sure padlock the rest of the Philadelphia Warriors. The Nationals permitted Chamberlain 43 points while whipping the Warriors, 137 110, Thursday night. The Philadelphia flipper's per formance sent him over the 2,000 point mark, only the third player in National Bas ketball association history to attain this height in one season. Chamberlain now has 2,011 points, -94 shy of the record 2,105 held by Bob Pettit of St. Louis for a single season. In the only other game played, Detroit sent Cincin nati reeling to its 11th straight defeat with a 121-102 victory over the Royals. HOCKEY United Press International The mere mention of money that another loss might cost them suddenly made the last place New York Rangers look like a million dollars. Ranger General Manager Buzz Patrick put it right on the line before Thursday night's game with the Red Wings at Detroit. "If they don't follow orders tonight, I'll rap them and rap them good," Patrick threat ened. "They'll taste some $100 fines and if they don't start following orders they'll taste more. Thus warned, the Rangers promptly went out and ended a 10-game winless streak with a 3-1 victory. The Chicago Black Hawks climbed into a fourth-place tie with the Boston Bruins by crushing them, 7-2. Montreal stretched its league lead to 19 points with 4-2 victory over second- place Toronto. Angling Rules Go Into Effect This Saturday Portland -(0PD- Attention sports fisherman: 1960 regu latons go into effect Saturday. Several changes made to last year's rules apply right off the bat. For winter steelheaders there's some good news. The winter season on all streams in zone one-coast'! streams has been extended through March 31. But black bass anglers, look out. The limit now will be 12 bass daily with 24 in possession or in 7 consecutive days. And, only 5 of these fish may be over 17 inches in length in the daily bag. Same applies to striped bass anglers. None of these fish now can be under 16 inches in length. The bag lim it is 5 fish per day. There's also a bag limit on shad-10 per day. But you can catch just about all the chan nel catfish you want. The lim it was raised from 10 to 50 fish per day. And, night angling is now allowed for bass, crappie, perch and other pond fish. An exception is the main stem of the Rogue. The game commission said that a complete synopsis of 1960 regulations will be ready about the first of next month.

(UPI Telephoto) Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss New York - Paul Ander son, the one-time boy der rick of weight lifting, head ed toward a boxing career today and while he may not be the heaviest heavyweight of them all he seems a cinch to be the strongest. Anderson, who won the 1956 Olympic championship by lifting more freight car wheels than Casey Jones had ever seen, will make his pro debut in a four-rounder at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 19. His go with one Ray Batey of Jamaica, B.W.I., probably will draw more at tention than the main bout in which Eddie Machen will meet Sweet Billy Hunter. And, while Anderson may not be able to lick any of them individually, it's an un contested fact that he could lift all three of them collect ively. Lifts A Platform Since turning professional strong man in 1957, Ponder ous Paul has been a rassler. But before that he was the only marvel extant which the Russians couldn't claim to have invented. One of his feats was to lift a platform on which 20 people were seated. It wasn't anything, really. Before that, he admitted modestly, he heard that the ancient French strongman, Louis Cyr, had lifted a stag gering 4,000 pounds. So Paul went out and hoisted 5,000 without drawing a deep breath. ' There is some question as to whether the 27-year-old Georgian, who started weight lifting with weights home made out of poured concrete, actually will be the heaviest man ever to climb through the ropes. His weight at the moment is a secret but he was 310 when he reached his majority and admits to having gone as high as 370 pounds. BOAT ENTHUSIASTS! See the revolutionary NEW VOLVO-PENTA AQUAMATIC INBOARD - OUTBOARD! (VOLVO) fOLvm Now At II MEDFORD MARINE CO. Exclusive Southern Oregon Dealer 2060 West Main Street Phone SP 3-1188 The new angling regula tions for 1960 will go into effect on Feb. 6, which is this coming Saturday. The Hellsgate deadline will be in force and it means that the Rogue river will be closed upstream from the vicinity of Lookout point to the mouth of the Little Applegate river Both the Rogue and the Ap plegate will remain open until Feb. 29. The salmon season will not open until March 26 and will close on June 30. Warm water game fish, where present, may be angled for during both day and night. An exception is the main channel of the Rogue, which will be open only dur ing the day. The backwaters of Gold Ray and Savage Rapids dams as well as all sloughs off the main channel of the Rogue, are open every hour of the day and night. Warm water garr.e fish in clude catfish, perc.i, crappie, bass or bluegills. WHYFOR? Many fishermen are) go ing to be put but by the change in regulations which closes that part of the Rogue between the mouth of the Applegate and Hells gate canyon. Many favorite holes, including the Ferry hole, Finley Bend, White horse, Cement riffle. Brushy chutes and Robertson bridge are going to be rest ed from, the pounding they normally get this time of the year. Most of these fishermen still don't know why the river has been closed and no doubt the game commission is getting a lot of verbal abuse be cause of this. SAVE THE SPAWNOUTS! There are some good rea sons as to why the river has been closed down to Hells gate. One reason is based on the fact that the summer run of steelhead is very small and doesn't seem to be picK ing up in numbers like the fall and winter runs. The summer fish spawn early and then many of them begin to drop downriver in their re turn journey to the .ocean. It just happens that these spawned out fish are in 'the stretch of river below the mouth of the Applegate dur ing the winter season and many of these thin, dark fish are caught. It is hoped that the new closure will save many of the summer run so that they may return and in crease the run to a number that can stand more exten sive harvesting. WHERE DID THEY GO? There have been some very optimistic reports re garding the large numbers of fall fish entering the river during the past two or three years. Those fish that escape the heavy fish ing in the lower river use the middle section of the river above and below the Applegate as a resting area until the spawning urge sends them on the final leg of their journey. Another reason for the closure is that too many of the fall fish are caught during the winter season due, to the fact of their being concen trated in a very accessible fishing area. They face triple jeopardy in - being . fished for in the lower river, in the middle river during the fall season, and again during the winter season. This is too much. THE WINTER RUN The best reason for the closure is found in the large numbers of winter steelhead and the fact that they escape the majority of fishermen by being farther downriver dur ing the winter season. It is hoped the change in regula tions will put the fishing pres sure where it can be best withstood, in the ranks of the winter steelhead run. THE ANGLER'S LOG The last week in Janu ary saw that long-awaited rise in the rivers and the Illinois reports were the best yet. The topper is an eye-witness account of twelve fishermen taking turns stepping up on the same rock and, one after the other, catching his limit of two fish. Thursday and Friday seem to have been the best days. Does anyone know of a job open lha't pays a man to go fishing during the week? $300 Approved for Chamber Option The board of directors of the Medford Chamber of Commerce yesterday author ized $300 to be made avail able as an option to buy new property for a building to house the chamber's office. Don McNeil, chamber man ager, presented a proposal to the board. A committee head ed by Robert Taylor was ap pointed by Chamber Presi dent Gerald Latham to be in charge of the. structure. Others on the committee are John Pletsch and Dwight Houghton. The committee will work with other chamber officials on financing and arranging fi nal details. Russ Jamison reported that further tree plantings for downtown Medford are under consideration, particularly for Central ave., and would be planted in soil by going through the concrete side walks. The estimated cost would be $25 per tree. The program is to be brought before the Retail Merchants association to de termine financing and care of the trees. New Scooter Models Announced Locally New 1960 models of Cush man scooters have been an nounced by the local dealer, White's Cycle center, 3330 North Pacific highway. New advances in the 1960 models include brake design and changes in riding comfort, handling ease and safety, White said. Applegate River-There are a few fish moving in but it's pretty early to expect too much. Best fishing should be below Slate creek. There may be some, as high as Williams or Thompson creek by now. Illinois River Lots of big, bright fish that seem to have kept most anglers busy this week. Don't know how long it will last but good news was the theme on Thursday. Klamath River - The few fishermen out saw a few fish and caught same. The water is up and warmer. The fish are there. Rogue River - The fish are in and they are big and bright. Luck will depend on how muddy the water gets on the week end. There is no doubt there will be plenty of fishermen trying out the water, muddy or not. Smith River - The water has been perfect but the fish have been conspicuous by their absence. A new run ex pected any day. Best fishing has been way up the south fork. Red Cross Building - The Izaak Walton League invites the public to its meeting across from Hawthorne park this next Monday night at 8 p.m. Colored movies on fish ing for Rogue river steelhead in New Zealand; wildlife and geography of New Zealand will be shown. Refreshments and new memberships will be served. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER It may be just as well that I never find that fishing job. I'm just optimistic enough to believe that a person enjoys a thing best if he can't do it every time he wants to. But sometimes I feel curious enough to want to find out for sure. Oh well, Saturday will soon be here again. GOOD LUCK! THREE LITTLE NOTES Los Angeles -flJPB-Language proved to be no barrier to one Mexican fight fan who ap peared at the ticket booth for Thursday night's boxing bouts.

Reserve Unit Here Changes lis Name A change in the name of the local U.S. Army reserve unit from Medford area command (USAR) to Medford subsector command has been announced by the Army. Maj. Ray E. Stewart, Med ford area commander, will be come Medford subsector com mander and will continue to have his headquarters at 33 North Riverside ave.
