MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 35, I960 nnnnwin 01. ...mtv o. SATURDAY IN II this liquid weather keepi up, it win be swim or sink -almost literally - Saturday night when the Oregon Class B football . championship Is resolved. St. Mary's of Medford Jour neys to Newport to face Slletr in the title fray. Game time is 8 p.m. in the storm swept Oregon coastal city, where 2.52 inches of rain fell in the 24 hours up to 4 a.m. today. Siletz, accustomed to the coast weather, will have the advantage of experience in a storm. The Warriors over came Harrisburg in a semi final on the wet, windswept, chewed up Newport field. The Crusaders of Medford, nevertheless, have profited from storms here this week in preparations for the game, And they've been adding to their attack and girding their defenses to meet conditions of the mix. New Plays St. Mary's went through its last full scale workout yes terday at the Medford stadi um. Coach Bill McKibbin said his club has worked on new plays to bolster its ground as sault. Weather, present and anticipated, Just about rules out passing plays. McKibbin expressed some concern about Crusader de fense but It's hoped in the SM camp that it will stiffen in the game. Only light drill was planned today and the team will head for Newport Saturday morning. Tackle Marv McGee, who hurt his back in practice Tuesday, was able to do. some running Thursday, something he couldn't do on Wednesday. McKibbin remarked that, if McGee continues to improve, he'll see some duty in the game. Dave Lowry may get starting call. Multiple Offense ' The Crusaders, state co champions in 1950, will take a multiple offense into the game. The Warriors, utilizing T formation, get power from it and are aided by good de- USC Meets Notre Dame -Los Angeles-UIPD-The great est of all lntersectlohal clash es, Southern California against Notre Dame, will be played xor tne Blind time here Satur day with the Trojans favored to close out a spotty season on a high note. Coming off one of the top upsets of the season with a 17-6 victory over UCLA, the Trojans were favored by a touchdown to beat the Irish for the first time since 19S6. - A Southern California vic tory would give the TroJ&ns a 5-5 season and a successful close would offset earlier de feats. Should Southern Cnl win, It would be the first time since 1038 that they would have beaten tholr three California rivals, Stanford, California and UCLA, In the same season with Notre Dame. And a win over the Irish would be only the third time USC has beaten Notre Dame and UCLA in the same year. They did it in 1938 and 1956. Salmon Taking Proves Harder Portland Salmon anglers fishing the lower Columbia and offshore areas this past summer found the salmon little more difficult to catch than last year tn addition to finding the competition lit tle stiffer. Final computation of the lower Columbia salmon catch by the Oregon Game Commls slon and the Washington De partment of Fisheries shows approximately 1,600 less sal mon taken than last year al- though the angling pressure increased by about 3,000 anglers. estimated number of an glers using the lower Columbia-ocean fisheries was Just over 78,000 compared to 75,- 000 In 1959. The total salmon . catch for the I960 season numbered 72,300 compared to 73,900 in 1959. The catch was considerably above the excel lent 1959 season when 63,300 of the oceon-goihg migrants were tallied. ' The total catch of Chinook salmon Jumped considerably above the 1859 tally. Figures here disclose 37,700 chlnooks were taken compared to 23,. 400 the prcvlus year. The take of silvers dropped almost 16,000 with a recorded catch of 34,600 compared to 50,500 in 1959. Incidental catches of other salmon and stcelhead were re corded. HEMUS' FATHER DIES " San Diego, Callf.-W-Ben- Jamln O.

The seven-foot Chamber lain gobbled up a fantastic 55 rebounds Thursday night at Philadelphia, breaking the NBA record of 51 set by Bos ton's BUI Russell against Syr acuse last year.

Chamberlain had a game high 34 points to go with his 55 rebounds. Anglers Urged To Report Fish Portland - With the steel- head season now getting in full swing, anglers are urged by the game commission to report any marked fish taken Several rivers are being managed for steclhead, on an experimental basis, and the angler's help Is needed if proper evaluation Is to be made. Since 1957, four massive liberations of winter steelhcad tlngerllngs have been made in such rivers as the Sandy, Al- sea, and Wilson. All of the planted fish have been mark ed by the removal of various fins or combination of fins; In addition, each year's plant differs as to the fins clipped so that the year of release may be readily determined. Anglers are asked to report these marked fish to their local fishery agent or to the game commission's Portland office, 1634 S. W. Alder st. The length, weight, sex, and marks are needed and if pos sible a sample of several scales from the upper side of the fish. i SILETZ COLLIDE B TITLE TUSSLE urday will be the champion, the loser will taste defeat for the first time in 1960. The Crusaders have won 10 games this fall and Siletz nine. St. Mary's is the tltllst of Dis trict 5 and the Warriors of District 2.

Bighorn Sheep Transplanted Portland - The first trans plant of bighorn mountain sheep to other parts of their original eastern Oregon range was made by the game com mission last week when four animals were captured from the nucleus band held within the Hart mountain enclosure and trucked to the east face of the Steens mountains.

Chinook Eggs In Hatch Trays At Butte Falls Portland - The egg-take at game commission fish hatch eries Is now in full swing with fall spawning rainbows, east ern brook, spring chinook salmon, and Atlantic salmon producing eggs in good num. bers for next year's fish pro duction. At the commission's Butte Falls hatchery in the Rogue basin, approximately 66,606 spring chinook eggs are in the hatching trays, while the Rock Creek plant in the Umpqua basin has just over 159,060 spring chinook' eggs.

And best of all, they'll both be back next year. Reference, of course, Is to Medford s fine pair of letter man tackles at Oregon State who closed out a highly suc cessful season last week end as the Beavers were tied by Oregon, 14-14. Neil Plumley and Jim Fun ston. In the case of Plpmley, his worth as a football player-and athlete generally - has been pretty much taken for grant ed. He played 260 minutes as a sophomore in 1959 and al ready had earned a reputa tion. Funston's situation is differ ent, but blends with the same tone of success, Jim, a rugged 220-pounder, came along a bit more slowly. Beset with injuries at the start of his college career, he blos somed out this fall as a soph omore, and got his first big chance when regular Mike Kline was hurt against Wash ington. Magnificent Then, when Kline's substi tute, Earl Woodward, also went down with an injury, that placed it squarely up to Funston to handle the left tackle duties. He was the only healthy one remaining. Funston came through mag nificently in the Idaho, Stan ford and Oregon games. Against Idaho, he played over 50 minutes, and almost as much at Palo Alto. Kline and Woodward finally returned for Oregon, but Funston got in plenty of good whacks at the Webfoots, too. In one stretch of the traditional game, he made three straight tackles. Plumley, too, had his mo ments of glory, and he too, was a pillar of strength against the team that came from behind to tie OSC in the closing minutes. Neil, inci dentally, held the distinction of being the only Beaver reg ular not injured at one time or another all season. At least, he never was hurt enough to miss the opening whistle of a game, or the .lose of it. He likely collected plen ty of bumps and bruises, but still played. Plumley Iron Man Biggest man on the squad at 6-6 and 231 (he was 240 when the jeason bekan), Nell also is one oi me must auiuuie. oe cause of the new "wild-card' rule, minutes played weren't kept this fall, but had they been, It s almost sure to say Plumley would have been the squad s iron-man. What about next year? Right now, Plumley Is more concerned with track. He checked out his cinder equip ment on the Monday follow ing the close of football. As northern division shotput champion, he has plenty to look forward to. Chances of Nell ever losing his first-string right tackle spot are about as remote as a feather in a cyclone. And at the rate Funston has im proved, he will press Kline closely for that starting left tackle job. Bob Watson, senior assistant coach for the Beavers and one-time all-around athletic great at Medford high, sums It up this way: ' "Plumley and Funston had to be great-look where they're from And he wasn't kidding, ei ther. Baker Will Not Play Basketball Corvallis - OIPD - Versatile sophomore Terry Baker,' the three - sport athlete who starred this fall at tailback for Oregon State's football forces, will not play basket ball this winter according to Beaver basketball Coach Slats Gill. Gill said Baker, who led the Oregon State freshman hoop team In scoring last winter, told him that he would con centrate on his studies and would participate in baseball in the spring. Baker did not play froshman football at OSC. Baker was twice an all-stat er in both basketball and foot ball at Jefferson high school In Portland. .

Navy has ah 8-1 record, which is all wrapped up in a chunky back named Bellino. He has scored 17 touchdowns and is the second highest point producer in college foot ball. Bullet Joe scored three times against Army last year. Army, with a 6-2-1 log which includes a triumph over Syracuse and a tie with Pitt, is aiming to stop Bel lino and will try to do so with a 220 -pound block-buster guard named Al Vanderbush. iewllwliilllulMlllalaaaei Vs1 H1 Success Story!

Cornell Fires Football Tutor Philadelphia ,-IUPD- Cornell university was reluctant today about finding a new football coach as it was over announc ing the firing of the old one- George (Lefty) James.

The Patriots, who have only a faint mathematical chance for the division title, have won their last three games and could play the role of spoilers" in their two re maining games with Houston. That s just what the New York Titans did Thursday when they defeated the Dallas Texans, 41-35, in the AFL's highest-scoring game of the season. The defeat dimmed the Texans' hopes of over taking the Los Angeles Charg ers in the Western division of the league. The Chargers now can pull two games in front of the race by beating the Oakland Raid ers Sunday. Los Angeles was a 7-point favorite at home. In the AFL s other Sunday game, the Denver Broncos were ap point choices over the visiting Buffalo Bills. , Blanda, who has thrown 21 touchdown passes and leads the league in scoring with 89 points, was sidelined with an ankle injury last Sunday. Jackie Lee, his untried under study, threw three touchdown passes In a 20-10 victory over the Broncos. Al Dorow, another quarter back "old-timer", was the big man in the Titans' upset vic tory over the Texans before a Thanksgiving Day crowd of 14,344 at the Polo Grounds in New York. Dorow passed for two touch downs, set up two more with his aerials, and carried over for another on a roll-out run as the Titans' snapped a four- game losing streak. In all, Dorow completed 21 out of 33 passes for a total of 301 yards. He gained another 40 yards in 12 rushes.
