Winter Games Site Like Security Camp By HAL WOOD Squaw Valley, Calif.- (UPD -The public laughed when one California legislator suggested that the Olympic area of Squaw Valley be turned into a minimum security camp for first offenders after the games are over. But there is another laugh going the rounds of the area now. "It's already a maximum security camp," said one wag. Like Main Street To get in and out of Squaw Valley these days a man driv ing a car is stopped oftener than a heavily-traveled main street full of traffic lights. "I'm starting to believe that it's harder to get into Squaw Valley than it is to get into Fort Knox," said Walter Brown of Boston, a high Olympic ice hockey offi cial. "I was stopped many times before I finally got here. Then we were turned off the road to a parking lot, 'where we had to pay SI for parking and then walk to the games area."

The Tiremen reportedly will play the Klamath entry at 2 p.m. Saturday. j The 28 points, by the Na tional Guard last night, tied -a league low score mark estab lished by the Guardsmen in a game last year with Butte Falls. Hawkinson's led Guard 50 to 19 at halftime. Dave Viks Now Head OCC Portland - (UPD - Portland State is back in the driver's seat today in the Oregon Col legiate conference. The Vik ings tobk over the number one spot with a 58-54 over time victory over Oregon Col lege of Education Tuesday night. Regulation play ended 47-47 and Don Powell sparked the rally that tied it for PSC with two driving layins in the last minute and a half.

Sometimes it takes up to 15 to 20 minutes to travel a mile because patrolmen stop the car, turn the driver over to white helmeted Olympic guards who inspect the cre dentials, and then either wave the man on-or turn him back. Police Complain, Too "It's a silly system,' said one patrolman. "We are doing this because we were told to. But so far as we're concerned we d like to wave everyone along. "Here we are trying to help the public but, man, you should see the abuse we're taking." And to top it off, the final warning, if a drive can get his car right up close to the games building, is that if you don't move it within a cer tain time, you car will be towed away. And you'll get the bill. Hughes and Bill Hollings worth paced Tire Tread point making with 18 and 16, re spectively. .

Myrtle Point 42 Sport Parade United Press International Squaw Valley, Calif.-flJPD-There is news in the Olympic Village nestled high amid the snowcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevada for the fellow who wrote about , "a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." It doesn't have to be spring. There are six-foot icicles hanging from the eaves of the buildings. The snow is up to where you carry your wallet in your hip pocket. And na ture's sugary frosting shows no signs of leaving the pow dery premises. But love among the Olym pic athletes is - as usual - a many splintered thing. Even Have Guards Olympic officials long have been cognizant of the fact that even among athletes when boy meets girl the hor mones start hopping and the human alchemy involved doesn't need the fresh breath of spring. Thus rigid security steps are taken to separate and keep separated-the male and the female of the muscu lar species. For this sliding and skid ding spectacle, the women and the men have separate dormitories. Guards are post ed at the entrances. Their duty is to keep men out of the women's section, and vice versa, which may be a rather more poignant phrase than JlL Gaels Keep WCAC Lead United Press International If either Santa Clara or Pepperdine wants to usurp St. Mary's number one spot in the West Coast Athletic conference basketball race, they will have to get the job done themselves. The Gaels have led the loop through most of the year, but many predicted their time had come when Santa Clara crushed them, 72-48. But St. Mary's shook this loss off and has ' come back to play sharp basketball as witness the 79-55 thump ing of COP on the latter's court Tuesday night. The win kept the Gaels atop the loop with a 6-1 rec ord and a 14-7 season mark. Pepperdine and Santa Clara are both 5-2 and a look at the schedule shows St. Mary's last two games are against the Waves and Broncs. New Celler-Dwellers Things are popping at the other end of the WCAC, also. USF. upset winners over Pepperdine and Santa Clara, lost to San Jose State in over time, 69-66. The win pulled San Jose out of the loop cel lar and put COP in. Jordan Awaits Exam Results Los Angeles (UPD Welter weight champion Don Jordan today awaited the results of a physical examintion that could end his suspension by the California athletic com mission and allow him to de fend his title before the NBA takes it away from him. Jordan, who is in a peck of trouble for various and sun dry peccadilloes, underwent the examintaion Tuesday. But Dr. Abraham Waxman, who performed the tests on the 25- year-old champion, said the results wouldn't be available until laboratory tests are finished. The slick punching welter weight was ordered by the National Boxing association to furnish official proof of his physical fitness by Friday or forfeit the title he won in 1958 from St. Louis' Virgil Akins. Eddie Le Baron Quits Football Washington-IUPD-The Wash ington Redskins scanned rival National Football League ros ters today in hopes of filling the gaping hole left by the re tirement of the league's small est player. Coach Mike Nixon said he would go with Ralph Gugli elmi next season after 165 pound quarterback Eddie Le Baron announced he is quit ing pro football to begin a law career in Texas, but in formed NFL sources said the Redskins undoubtedly will try to swing a deal for anoth er quarterback. By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International usual under the circum stances. But they might as well try to grow sugar cane on the ski slopes. For in one of the first inci dents, one young lady was seen skinning through the rear window into the men's dormitory. "I guess," harumphed one Olympic official when he heard the report, "that our security force is under manned." Actually, they couldn't get enough guards into this val ley, appropriately named "Squaw," to eliminate what cames naturally. First of all, there is a cer tain camp following in any sport. Baseball has it with an adoring set known as "Bull Pen Berthas." In golf, the members of the fair set who trek to all the tournaments are known as "Sand Trap Sallies." In skiing, this feminine supporting cast which makes the whole circuit from Ver mont to Sun Valley to Aspen is a group known as "Snow Bunnies." Maintaining complete Olympic amateurism always is a problem to the harried international fathers. At Mel bourne during the 1956 Olym pic Games, the women's vil lage was surrounded by an eight foot high wire fence and the gates were guarded by the Australian army. So what happened? One guy pole-vaulted over the fence. Another group tunneled under the fence. Two weight lifters padded their jersies in the appropri ate places, covered their heads with babushkas and simpered their way past the goggle-eyed guards. But the rush really was on when some character finally came up with a pair of effi cient wire clippers. Two Circuits In 3-Way Ties United Press International They're starting the basket ball season all over again in the Southeastern and South west conferences. Georgia Tech, Auburn and Kentucky wound up in a three-way tie for first place in the SEC with 9-2 records when Tennessee upset Tech, 57-56, and Kentucky's Come back Kids turned back Van derbilt, 68-60, Tuesday night. A similar three-way tie for the Southwest conference lead was produced when Texas shocked Texas A&M, 79-62, and Southern Metho dist upended Rice, 75-58. That left Texas sharing first place with the Aggies and SMU, each boasting 7-2 league marks. Housewife Bowls 300 Gresham-UPD-A ' 38-year-old housewife is the first Oregon bowler to roll a sanctioned 300 game in the state this season. Mrs. Johanna Lewis, Gresham, bowled her 300 Monday night in a league game. She had a 149, then the 300 and then a 125 for a score of 574. LOUIS BOOK CLOSED Washington -(UPD-Who says the Internal Revenue Service doesn't have a heart? The service had admitted closing the books on its long drive to collect back income taxes from former heavyweight champion Joe Louis because "his earning days are over." "We have gotton all we could possibly get from Mr. Louis, leaving him with some hope that he can live," said Inter nal Revenue Commissioner Dana Latham. Fleck Pockets Phoenix Prize Phoenix, Ariz. -(UPD- "It was a long time between vic tories," commented Jack Fleck as he pocketed the win ner's share of the $22,500 Phoenix Open golf tourna ment. Fleck, a Los Angeles shot maker whose last victory was in the pressure-packed 1955 Open when he edged Ben Ho gan in a playoff, got back into top money Monday when he bested Bill Collins, Crystal River, Fla., in a championship playoff here. They were dead locked after the regulation 72 holes at 273. Fleck' shot a three-under par 68 and cashed in on Col lins' mistakes to win it. Col lins had a par 71 with a dou ble bogie on the 14th hole. Fleck won $3,500 for first place and an additional $1,800 as his share from the gate re ceipts for the playoff. Collins won $2,100 and $1,800. Judge Defers Case 01 Portland Men Portland (UPD Municipal Judge J. J. Labadie Tuesday afternoon deferred until March 25 the case of five men accused of disorderly conduct in front of the Oregonian building Feb. 6. Judge Lebadie directed City Attorney William C. Beers and counsel for the five, Clifford O'Brien, to sub mit memoranda citing author ity for the arguments present ed in court Tuesday. The five men, all members of the striking Web Pressmen, are Everett Henderson, 30; Vernon C. Ranger, 27; Ken neth B. Huffman, 27; Henry F. Russell, 22, and Roland St. Claire, 28, all of Portland.

(UPI Tclcphoto) fir t-AI The Common Mullet Has Many Guessing The poor" fish is justifed in being frustrated, befuddled and confused. Think how he must feel knowing that near ly every fisherman and ev eryone else who is even re motely acquainted with him argues constantly at to wheth er he is a fish or a fowl or if he will ever become des perate enough to bite a bait ed hook. It's enough to give any fish a bad case of the jitters. Per haps the mullet really has reached that stage; that may be.why he keeps jumping out of the water. He is probably nervous. . Sometimes the more com mon a thing is, the less there is known about it; for ex ample the mullet-one of the most common of marine fish es. Hundreds of tons of them have been sold; tons have been smoked. Many people who live near waters where this fish is plentiful know more about how its flesh tastes than how the fish lives. In many sections of the gulf states the mullet is the most important food fish. Served with grits, it is a staple food. More Fowl Than Fish Even those fishermen who have spent the better part of their lives catching these fish, maintain the mullett has a gizzard and are therefore more fowl than fish. Probably the reason why such a belief started was the discovery that the fish ate nothing but vege tation and would never bite on a hook. Of course a bird, who does have a gizzard, would have no use for an air-bladder such as a mullet possesses. Neither would a mullet have any use for a gizzard. When he begins life in the sea the baby mullet eats other things besides vegetation, but as he develops, his system and his appetite undergo a change. He becomes a true vegetarian. The internal change, which comes with ad vancing growth, lengthens i the intestines and causes it to j become convoluted or coiled, i It has to coil because of the lack of inner room. As it I grows longer it demands dif ferent food-grass and ptent life, and algae of various kinds. But it does not have a New York -(UPD- Officials of the National Invitation Basketball tournament have virtually completed the lineup for their anual show starting at Madison Square Garden March 10.

Truckload $700 1PAWY Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watldns eizzard. Gizzards are desiened ' by Nature to grind up a very different kind of food-grains and seeds, or small animal matter contained in sand. Another unusual fact about this common fish is its reluc tance to bite a hook. Hungry or. Angry Regardless of the species of J fish concerned, they are caught on a hook and line only because the hook is bait ed with the kind of bait the fish prefers, and of course if the fish is hungry or angry. Some individuals claim this fish will never bite. Others say they will and the argu ment goes on. The latter "school" seems to be in the minority. The mullet is a grazing ani mal, feeding along the ocean bottom like a cow in a marine pasture. The mouth is adapt ed to this method of feeding. From time to time the fish rushes to the surface and leaps out of the water. Some say the mullet jumps because he is nervous; other maintain the fish is "just quick." But down there where the mullet lives, are others that like mullet-meat. Probably he jumps to escape. Anyone or anything jumps when something is after it. He that jumps the quickest and forthest has a better chance to jump another day.
