Moore confirmed this, saying it will take nine to 21 days for a case to come back from the laboratories as positive. The usual procedure is to take a microscopic examina tion of a section of the so called infected animal's brain, then inject the eviscerated brain into the brain of a mouse. In this particular case the mouse died in four days. The sanitarian said the bat was found atop a lumber pile by Glen Clifford who was building a house near Crater Lake highway and the banks of Antelope creek. He im prisoned it in a coffee can be ing careful not to touch it with his bare hands and brought it to the county health depart ment. Moore said the rabies prob lem has cooled off in Klamath county where a number of rabid bats were found and in the Brookings, Ore. area where a rabid dog was found and a county-wide quarantine enforced, along with mass in noculations of cats and dogs.

"First, To The St. Mary's Downs Siletz; Wins Title BY DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Newport St. Mary's High school of Medford, state class B football co-champions last year, won the 1900 title here last night. They defeated Siletz High school 13 to 0 in the championship game. The Crusaders capitalized on two long punt returns by Alex Mete setting up both touchdowns and used an aggressive defense to hold the Warriors back. In the first quarter Mete took a handoff of a punt return from Aundre Knutson on the St. Mary's 35 yard stripe and ran the ball back 62 yards to the Siletz three. Two plays later, Dick Evans smashed over the touchdown. Jim Calhoun kick ed the extra point. In the late stages of the second stanza using the same punt return handoff play, Mete ran 28 yards to the Warrior 24. Six plays later Evans passed to Paul Elliott in the end zone for the second score. Fifteen seconds remained in the first half. Calhoun's conversion kick was wide. No Closer Than 19 Yards Siletz got no closer to the St. Mary's goal than the 19 yard line in the first half. Closest penetration in the second half was to the Crusader 33. St. Mary's had one drive halted in the second quarter on the Warrior 15. Siletz ripped off a number of long gains, par ticularly on the passing of quarterback Neil Borden, but the Crusaders repeatedly ripped through to throw him and other Siletz backs for losses. The game was played under clear skies, however, the field was muddy. Cool temperatures didn't- bother the Crusader attack. St. Mary's, in the second half, reached the Warrior 29 yard stripe for their deepest penetration. The Crusaders had 11 first downs and Siletz earned four. The game was the Crusaders last class B competition. Next year they will play as an A-2 team. The victory was St. Mary's eleventh this fall. The Cru saders were unbeaten. Duncan Says Votes For Speaker Pledged State Rep. Robert Duncan said Saturday he has suffi cient votes pledged to elect him to an unprecedented sec ond term as speaker of the Oregon house of representa tives. Duncan, a Democrat who was reelected to his third term in the legislature Nov. a, had a reported 30 votes of the 31 needed for election, fol lowing a caucus of Democratic house members last week, with only Rep. George Anala (D.-Hood River) holding out. Since then, Duncan said, he has received pledges from sev eral Republican members. (Re ports from political observers in Portland said they include Reps. Robert Elfstrom, Salem, George Layman, Ncwberg, and Sam Wilderman, Port land.) Other Republicans have also indicated they plan to vote for him without offer ing formal pledges to do so, Duncan stated. Gratified by Action The speaker said he was gratified by this action, and forecast a "harmonious ses sion," when the legislature meets in January. He said he has been in con tact with State Sen. Harry Boivin (D. - Klamath Falls), who apparently will be sen ate president, and has been assured that house and senate would work well together. As for the Republican votes which assure him of the speak ership, Duncan pointed out that in his inauguration mes sage, Gov. Mark O. Hatfield called' for this very sort of thing. He quoted him as say ing: "You may wish to give con sideration to continuing your minority and majority leaders from session to session, as in the congress. Oregon can no longer afford the luxury of leadership by rotation in its legislative branch of govern ment." His reelection as speaker is a step in this direction, Dun can declared. He is sending letters to all Steam Room" elected house members, ask ing their preferences in com mittee assignments and seat ing, Duncan reported. He said committee appointments will be announced prior to the ses sion's start, i Elfstrom Confirms Vote for Duncan Salem, Ore. -(UPD-State Rep. KOBert Elfstrom (R-Salem), confirmed Saturday that he intends to vote for State Rep. Robert Duncan, (D-Mcdford), as 1961 Oregon House speak er, assuring Duncan of a sec ond term as speaker. Duncan said earlier in Med ford he has pledges from sev eral Republican House mem bers, more than enough to elect him as speaker. He also has pledges from 30 Democratic Slate Represen tatives. Thirty-one votes make a majority. Other GOP Support Elfstrom said he knew of "at least seven or eight" Re publicans who intend to sup port Duncan. "If he has 30 of his own people, he should be allowed to go ahead and organize the House. There is no time for bickering. We've got a tough session ahead," Elfstrom said. Elfstrom, recuperating at home from an operation for ulcers, said he has not yet de cided whether he will be a candidate for re-election as House minority leader. A talk with his doctor next week will have a bearing on his decision, he said. Mrs. Kennedy Views Baby forFirst Time Washington - (UPD - Mrs. John F.
