The Black Tornado will be guest of the GP Cavemen. It will be the last competition for the two schools before the District 6 A-l meet. On the strength of show ings In previous meetings this season, Medford is favored against the Climate city crew, Tornadoes outperformed I Cavemen in 10 of 14 events In the late April Grants Pass Rotary club meet. However, the Medfordites reportedly will have to outdo most of their showings in workouts this week to trim the Cave men team. The final score could be close. Charley Improving Medford hopes in the high hurdles have been bolstered by the improvement of Bill Charley who is battling team mate Mike Hood in the event. Walt Ayres, who's been hob bled by a lame back, is ex pected to give it a try in the highs and not run in the lows. Coach- Dean Benson said that Hood will pass up the high jump In favor of running in the low hurdles this week. Grants Pass chances could be boosted by the return of Ray Meek, who has been in and out of action because of a leg ailment, and by the re turn of Torn Hathaway to strength.

Grants Pass will be solid favorite this time in the pole vault with its high going Larry Holmes and Ron Mclntire and in the 880 with Ken Marshall and Chronister. The Cavemen's Al Staley and Medford's Kent Blew cuuid present quite a battle in the 440. Staley beat out the Tornado runner In the Rotary test.

In the official draw made Thursday at the Royal and Ancient Club, Holland and Grant were placed in the top quarter of the field with Brit ish Walker Cuppers Joe Carr and Mike Bonnalack. Carr is a two-time winner of the tour nament.

Billy Maxwell Heads Colonial Fort Worth, Tex.-WPD-Title- starved Billy Maxwell, who pockets plenty of folding money on the tour each year but who hasn't won a crown in two years, led the Colonial National Invitation golf tour ney field into the second round today with a one-stroke edge. The chunky, unassuming 30-year-old Texan, who plays out of Oceanside, Calif., fired a three - under - par 34 - 33-67 Thursday to nose out little Jerry Barber of Los Angeles, the Tournament of Cham pions titlist, who had 35-33-68.

It is an irrigation project and the effort to convince is com ing from those who stand to profit tlp most, tvltei RnH if it is completed. WHERE AND WHAT? The dam and reservoir will be located approxi mately five miles east of Crater lake highway. It will be reached by turning on to Antelope road at While City, driving past the firing range about one mile and then turning south a half mile to the damaite across Dry creek. The pool will cover 216 acres when full and 18 acres when drawn down as low as pos sible. Average annual fluct uation of the pool would be 30 feet with the low period occurring in the fall. Drawdown for irrigation purposes would normally begin late in May or early June and by the last of August the water lovel would be down an average of 21 feet. MORE RECREATION Whether or not the reser voir will become a fishing spot is nf little importance compared to the fact of a need fnr more water for water skiers. There W some question as to how scenic n spot this lake would be with constant changes in water level. Muddy banks aren't conducive to enjoyable swim ming or lakeside picnieing. However, this may not inhibit the water skiers in practic ing their sport. j BETTER FISHING? There is lome queation as to the fishing potential of the reservoir due to the extreme drawdown occur ring each fall. An attempt will be made lo develop a spiny-ray fishery. Since the project is not intended to provide fish or wildlife life benefits, it would be safe to assume little if any plus values in this regard. However, there is some de gree of probability that fishlife will suffer from this project. DRY. HOT ROCKS Antelope creek has a small run of silver salmon that makes its way up to spawn each fall. II also has a run of winter steelhead that uses the headwaters for spawning. According to the proposed operating schedule of the di version dam on the creek, these fish are going to find the going a little difficult at times. The irrigation district can take up to 50 second feet of water during the storage season, November to March, and is required to allow one second foot as stream flow below the diversion. The 50 second feet will be used to fill the reservoir by way of a canal. The one second foot is called a conservation re quirement, though it's hard to visualize what good such a small amount of water may do. LACK OF DATA There are no runoff records for Antelope creek but It would be of little help to find out when there is enough water to provide more than the SO second feet required by the irriga tion district. The water will be used to fill the reservoir and if salmon or steelhead are stranded - well, that's too bad but the water is for the land and not for the fish. Maybe there will be enough water for both the land and the fish, but we won't find out until the fish are suffering for lack of water and then we can do little mora than com plain. Witness the deer killing efficiency of the Howard prairie delivery canal and the difficulty in finding some way lo stop it. THE ANGLER'S LOG The boat landing at Ala meda will get a working over this week to provide a better parking area, a circular drive and a ramp for fishermen or boaters. With the promise of a better or garage )3f a large run of salmon on the i unu ,.m.ti.mi vi ii;,i.'r I'KlTlg t'.T por., Will TOIJIC trout season two week away, ; the timing will be close. Fiah Lake - Has been pretty ; good. It slowed down some last week end. Hard and con stant rishing will still pay off. FF and super-duper or green flatfish have been pro ducing for the trailers. Howard Prairie - Some big fish have been keeping some anglers coming and going since opening day. Several 18 lo 20 inciters weighing ev t four pounds would be enough to keep any of us going. Troll ing seems to do the business with several kinds of lures working well. Fish seem to have no preference. Squaw Lakes - Still produc ing lots of limits. In the big lake FF and green flatfish trolls best. Catches average 9 to 14 inches. Hank fishing at the little lake pays off best with fluorescent single eggs. Klamath River - Still keep ing flyfishermen happy. Those in the know are having bet ter luck than the nightcrawler SpeciuiisLs. Rogue River-One big bunch of salmon have marie it over the counting hoard There's another one below Galice and is expected there any day maybe yesterday was the day -or tomorrow.
