Black Tornado Tops Grater, Will Battle Ashlanders Tonight Medford high, stronger at the start and finish and check ing two Comet rallies in the middle quarters, began the de fense of its Southern Oregon conference diadem won last season by trimming Crater 59 to 43 at Central Point last night. Each of the two aggrega tions goes back into action this evening on different bat tlecourts. Medford entertains Ashland at Hedrick gym here. Crater journeys to Klamath Falls. Grants Pass, making its only appearance of the open ing week in the "1961" con ference chase, downed Ash land last night 54 to 32. Medford built up an 11 to 0 margin over the Comets in the first 4 minutes of the in augural at CP. Crater fought back blazing but could not cut the Black Tornado ad vantage to less than six coun ters. Edwards Aids Comets The Comets, picking up strength with the entry of Dennis Edwards in the late first panel, out-rebounded the Tornado over the route. But the Medfords made up for it by more and somewhat sharp er shooting from the field in the fast moving hassle. And, the Tornado had a bit the best of it from the free toss line. Bob Quinney, as usual, spear headed the Medford offensive. He had 11 field goals in a 23 point evening. Dick Ragsdale of Medford and Loyal Higin- botham of Crater each totaled 1 1 markers. Edwards, despite late arrival in the scuffle and the handicap of playing through the second half with four fouls charged against him, was tops under the boards with 12 rebound re trieves. His Comet teammate Tom While had 11 and Quin ney picked 10 for the Hurri cane. Quarter standings were in Medford favor, 16 to 8, 31 to 19 and 43 to 33. The Black Tornado swished 25 of 55 shots from the field for .454 average. Crater fired a warm .400 on 18 of 45. Lead Cut To Six Main threat of the Comets to overtake the Big Wind was in the second canto after the visiting contingent had es tablished a spread of 20 to 10. Edwards put in a tip shot and Jim Allen a long two-hander for 20 to 14. Medford's Scott Eaton traded buckets with Allen for 22 to 16. Then, Rags dale of the Tornado and While exchanged for 24 to 18. The Tornadoes reassumed command of the situation as Jim Barry once and Mike Hood twice potted jumpers from the side. Hood scored off feed-ins making the margin 30 to 18. As the second half opened, Die Pear City club stretched its gap to 16 points. Quinney netted a driver and a long try from the side and Rags- dale put in a two hander from the side. White got a hook in close in the meantime and the difference was 37 to 21. 19-Point Gap Alvarez cut a piece of that lead with a giftcr. Then, the Comets tlared up. Higinboth am found the range on a jumper and a pusher from nfnr and Mike C, lines drove for a bucket and Medford's lead was down to nine points at 37 to 28. The Tornado pull ed away from its 10 point span at the end of the third stanza and surged to 19 point lead of 54 to 35 Alvarei Swipes Allen's long push shot with almost 5 Mi minutes played was the first Crater goal of the night. Alvarez immediate ly wowed the home fans by swiping the Medford pass-in and dumping the ball through the hoop Piny was spirited under the hoops with some tough guard ing and rugged battling for the ball. While there were scoring breakthroughs, both clubs capitalized on long and midrnnge shooting in piling up their scores. Real thriller for the Comet fans was the jnyvee game which Crater won 48 to 44 in overtime. Medford took the sophomore scramble 48 to 29, Free Tosses Win Crater junior varsity over came a seven-point 24 to 31 deficit then saw Its own 42 to 38 advantage fade to bring on an extra session. Regular playing time ended 44-all. Two free pitches by Willie Jones and singletons by Gary Wald and Ron Beman came for Crater in the overtime. The junior Comets went ahead 38 to 37 on Howard Tomlinson's bucket. Jones made it 40 to 37. Mike Nca- thnmer shooting for Medford sliced the count to 40 to 38 but Pat Pepper connected twice on gifters for Crater. Larry Sander knotted play with a pair of pushers. Wald made II 44 to 42 for the CP gang off a fast break but a hook in close by Neathnmer deadlocked it with seconds Ipft In rpeiilar time Tonight's varsity mix with Ashland is billed for 8:15 p.m. afler a 6:30 jayvee curtain lifter.

The Cavemen used a height asset to advantage. Neither team hit well from the field but GP put in 14 of 18 free efforts while the Grizzlies canned just six of 14. Syd DeBoer, Ashland, was high pointmaker with 13 and Clyde Murray, Grants Pass, scored 11. Period margins were 7 to 4, 16 to 7 and 34 to 20, all with Grants Pass in front.

Some call it a tossup but the majority of pickers give Florida a slight edge, partly because of the game being played only 70 miles from the Gators' home. Both Florida and Baylor finished the regular season with eight wins and two de feats, their best marks in yenrs. Each also finished as runnerup in Its respective league, the Gators in the Southeastern Conference and the Bears in the Southwest.

Owens planned to name his starting line today. Bob Schloredt, hero of the Huskies' 1960 Rose Bowl vic tory over Wisconsin, has been assured by Owens that he, too, will sec plenty of action in the game. j MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss In order to salvage the rem nants of a badly chewed over pair of ears, apologies are ex tended to those who read and were confused by the com ments in last week's column pertaining to the landing law on page 7 of the angling regu lations synopsis. It docs say we cannot import any species of game fish in excess of the bag limits set by the game commission. We are required to record on our salmon steelhead punch cards only those salmon caught in the Pacific ocean beyond the ter ritorial waters of the state of Oregon. Contrary to what was said in last week's column, steelhead or salmon caught in a river, such as the Smith river in California, are not to be recorded on the punch card. UNENFORCEABLE A careful reading of page 7, and now I have read it very carefully, leaves one with strong doubts as to the right of the state of Oregon to limit an angler as to the number of fish he can bring into Oregon from another state. If he has compiled with the laws of a state with regard to purchasing a non-resident angling license, and has caught a legal limit of game fish, it would seem reasonabU to believe he has a legal right to those fish, no matter where he took them. If the law does not mean what it appears to say, then it should be changed: if it is as it appears, then it is unenforceable and should be discarded. THE MERGER One of the ambitions of Governor Mark Hatfield is the streamlining of state govern ment, and on the list of neces sary changes is the merging of the Oregon fish commission and the Oregon game commis sion. The interim committee that toured the state sounding out public opinion, found little sympathy for this pro posal, and yet the committee made the recommendation that the two commissions should be combined. ONE MAN CONTROL It has always appeared somewhat awkward to have the two commissions, with their overlapping jurisdic tion and conflict of inter ests; but any merger would have to be looked at very carefully in order to be assured that rights would not be lost. This type of fence-sitting has been some what precarious in that sides are being chosen re gardless of the lack of ob jective information avail able. Now that the rough draft of the bill to combine the commissions is avail able, reading it enables one to get off the fence onto the solid ground of argument. The bill literally gives the governor absolute control of our fish and game man agement and destroys the non-political nature of the game commission. As such, it is a bill against the best interests of the hunters, fishermen, and conserva tionists of the state of Ore gon. EVIDENCE The proposed bill will al low the governor to get rid of a commissioner without the commissioner having any right of public appeal. In ef fect, the governor can shut up anyone who may disagree with him and thereby very easily muzzle the commission to do his bidding. The new bill also gives the governor power over the game director in that his approval is neces sary to the hiring of the di rector. If the director is fired, he has no right of public ap peal. This can make the of fice of the game director a political football. The bill also destroys the regional representation of the present game commissioners in that the governor may appoint new members without regard to who or what they represent. This would be no change for the better THE ENEMY The editor of the Grants Pass Daily Courier has come to the decision that Copper Canyon dam would be the best thing that could happen to Southern Oregon.

Mr. Wilson is happy to in form us that lake fishing for rainbows is a far better sport than trying to catch a steelhead or a salmon. He states that such a dam would provide water ade- quale for all conditions downstream from it. He says many other things in the same vein - as a matter of fact, he thinks he knows moro about it than E.A.I THE ANGLER'S LOG Thp streams are eettin? so low and the steelhead so warv that most anglers win nave plenty of spare tunc tor revising their new Year's resolutions. We need rain and warmer weather to start thincs moving again. Koiut juvcr Mas oecn nronuc- ine from Graves creek on down. The vvater temperature is below 40 degrees and that means the fish are kegged up in the deep holes where you have to bounce the bait off their noses to Induce a nibble.

THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER When one comes face to face with such displays of ob- vious ignorance as are found in the Grants Pass area, it's heartening to realize that things should get better when the ignorance is supplanted with some knowledge. That is, if there is anything left.
