to a good extent due to get

Hamilton or Jim Davis could
get the call over Burton.
Grants Pass is without the

Janssen who has an ailing
back. Al Staley of the Cave

a Sunday ski accident and he,
like Stan Dowson of Medford,
has missed workouts this
week because of taking Naval

United Press International
Elgin Baylor scored his
2,000th point of the season
Thursday night in National
Basketball association play,
the second straight time he
has done it.
The only other NBA player
ever to rack up a 2,000-point
total for a season is Philadel
phia's Wilt Chamberlain.
Baylor hit the 2,000 mark
after scoring nine points for
the Los Angeles Lakers in
their game with the St. Louis
Hawks, and he then went on
to capture the game's high
scorer honor by collecting a
total of 45. -;
But it was to no avail as far
as the Lakers were concerned.
They lost the game at the Los
Angeles Sports Arena to the
Hawks, 123-113.

Calvin L. Smith, Industrial

forester, will give an illus
trated talk Monday, Feb. 13,
at the regular monthly meet
ing of the Jackson County
chapter of the Izaak Walton
league.
His subject will be "Back
ground History of Develop
ment of the Timber Industry
in the Douglas Fir Region."
The meeting will be at 8 p.m.
at the American Red Cross
building on Hawthorne ave.
Smith's colored slides will
show both industrial and non
industrial tree farms where
attempts are being made to
bring lands back into produc
tion. 1
Chapter directors and Ken
Denman, chairman of the or
ganization's legislative com
mittee have been active late
ly. Letters have been sent out
throughout Oregon with the
chapter resolution opposing
proposed inclusion of the state
fish commission and the state
game commission In a depart
ment or natural resuurces.
This is proposed in Senate
Bills 3 and 2. .5 before the
State Legislature.
Fish Pond Bill
' The board also is working
to get House Bill 1228 chang
ed. The bill, relating to use
of Big Butte creek waters,
would amend Oregon Statuted
538.430, a law which gives the
City of Medford the exclusive
right to use the waters of Big
Butte and its tributaries for
municipal purposes. An
amendment was asked by the
game commission so that a
fish rearing pond could be de
veloped on McNeil creek. This
would not actually use up
waters.
Before the bill was Intro
duced the city asked that the
words "game commission" be
changed to "other parties,"
thus permitting other parties
to impound and use waters
of Big Butte and its tributar
ies under, conditions prescrib
ed by the city administration.
The Waltonian board is
working to get the. words
"game commission" restored
and the city is said to have
adopted a neutral position,

sity goes against Idaho here
Saturday night, with the
Rooks facing Oregon Medical
Dental school of Portland.
Oregon State vitally needs
a sweep of the series to stay
in contention for the "Race to
the Regionals" NCAA berth.
Two losses to Oregon last
week end proved costly, since
former front-runner Seattle
also lost twice.
Washington State and Idaho
have been two of the most
improved clubs in the west
the last two weeks. The Cou
gars bumped Stanford by 20
points, and Monday upset
Seattle. Idaho trounced the
Chieftains, 89-70, last Satur
day. Disappointed
Coach Slats Gill, naturally
disappointed over his club's
showing against Oregon, is
hopeful the Beavers can
bounce back in the week end
set coming up. And there may
be some new. faces in OSC's
lineup, he has indicated in
practice.
Ernie Johnson Is one re
serve destined for more serv
ice, as is Stan Stafford. Those
two have been in the thick of
the fight for starting berths
this week, along with Bob
Jacobson, Terry Baker, Karl
Anderson, Steve ' Pauly, Jay
Carty, Jim Woodland, Steve
Flynn and Bill Wold.
. WSU has plenty of top
point producers, headed by

basketball this week end.
They play second place
Lakeview tonight and loop
heading Henley on Saturday
evening on the Phoenix court.
If the Pirates can win both
games,,, they'll boost them
selves into contention for at
least a berth in the District
6 A-2 playoffs. If they falter
they're out of it. The top two
teams in the final Rogue
league standings meet the first
two in the Umpqua league in
the district titular runoff.
To prep for the invasion
of the Lakeview and Henley
clubs, Coach Eldon Durham
has had his Pirate charges
working on zone defense and
on offense against that style
of defense. Phoenix players
also have drilled on bringing
the ball downcourt against
a full court press.
Durham indicated that Rick
Seymour and Roger Davis
may see more duty than they
have been and that Seymour
could get a starting call. A
possible starting crew is Ger
