MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1960 SPORTS : Don 't Miss This f Set NRA Award Received By Agency Portland - For the second year in a row the Oregon game commission received an award of merit from the Na tional Rifle Association of America for its efforts in pro moting safe gun handling in the state of Oregon. The state was rated as one of the top 10 in the nation for outstand ing achievement in hunter safety training during the year. Top NRA hunter safety award was presented to South Dakota, with Kentucky, Min nesota, Missouri, Ohio, Okla homa, Ontario, Utah, Wash ington, and Oregon rounding out the top 10 states in the nation. States receiving these awards were selected by a special awards committee of the International Association of Game, Fish and Conserva tion Commissioners at its an nual meeting held in Denver last September. Phi Schneider, state game director, accepted the award of merit on behalf of all vol unteer hunter safety instruc tors throughout the state and the students who successfully passed the hunter safety courses. He commented that Oregon's award of merit would not have been possible without these volunteer in structors who donated their time and services in promot ing and conducting the hunter safety program. It was through the cooperative ef forts of the game commission, groups, individuals and stu dents interested in safe gun handling that achieved Ore gon's enviable record in hunt er safety training, Schneider said. The Oregon game commis sion inaugurated the hunter safety program in 1958 and appointed Cal Giesler as pro gram coordinator on a state wide basis. In 1959, the first year of actual operation, Oregon re ceived an award of merit from the NRA for its achieve ment in hunter safety train ing. The work load during 1959 and 1960 was carried out by just over 1,200 qual ified instructors who conduct ed classes for more than 6,000 youngsters. During the past two years not a single gun accident occurred among these juveniles who had pas sed the hunter safety course of instruction. Cal Giesler, hunter safety coordinator, mentioned that in many sections of the state the hunter safety program is lagging because of the lack of voluntary instructors, es pecially in the smaller com munities and more isolated areas. I Floyd Patterson Fighter of Year New York - (UPB - Heavy weight champion Floyd Pat terson was named "Fighter of the Year" today by the Ring Magazine for the second time and credited with perhaps the outstanding achievement in professional boxing history. In its year-end wrap-up of the sport, the magazine stress ed that Patterson not only be came the first man to recap-1 ture the heavyweight crown last June 20 but he did it in sensational fashion by turn ing the tables on favored Inge mar Johansson and knocking him out in the fifth round. It was "possibly the most spectacular and altogether noteworthy achievement the professional ring yet has seen," stated the article. Swedish Ingemar had won the title from Patterson on a third-round knockout, June 26, 1959. Patterson of Rockville Cen tre, N.Y., first won the Ring's Fighter-of-the-Year award in 1956 because of his knockout over Archie Moore for the vacant heavyweight cham pionship.
