Warriors.
The Nationals permitted
Chamberlain 43 points while
whipping the Warriors, 137

Philadelphia flipper's per
formance sent him over the
2,000 point mark, only the
third player in National Bas

attain this height in one season.
Chamberlain now has 2,011

The mere mention of money
that another loss might cost
them suddenly made the last

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-

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.

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.

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!
