Hoffine said that White has been looking very good in drills and may get the call over LaCasse, who is not yet up to strength after a bout 'with measles.

Crater also has long range gunners in Higin botham, Alvarez and Glines.

C JOE DIMAGGIO Spring Training Aide DiMaggio To Aid at Yank Camp New York -IUPII- .The New York Yankees are adding a touch of class to their spring training program. It'll be there in the unmis takable figure of the peerless Joe DiMaggio, who's agreed to serve as a special coach under Ralph Houk for the two-week period beginning on March 9. Yankee president Dan Top ping disclosed that the famed "Yankee Clipper" had made a "personal deal with me" and added, "I think he will be of great help to our young players." DiMaggio, who had a life time average of .325 and who played in 10 World Series for the Yankees, will be having his first official association with the Yankees since he retired in 1951. He has at tended various Old Timers Day ceremonies at Yankee Stadium but in the last 10 years spent only one day as a spectator at their spring training camp in St. Peters burg, Fla. "This is the first time I've been asked," said the 46-year-old DiMaggio. 66s Best In Phoenix Golf Open Phoenix, Ariz. tUPU home unfamiliar names and a few old reliables headed the list today as the second round of the $30,000 Phoenix Open golf tournament got underway on the sun-kissed Arizona Coun try Club course. Out in front were: Mason Rudolph of Clarksville, Tenn.; Bill Collins of Crystal River, Fla., and Dave Marr of Hous ton, Tex. They took advantage of an early start to fire four-under-par 66s on a course that admit tedly has been toughened up for the touring pros. The men who had to finish late some of them . used flashlights to do their putting on the final holes did not have it as easy. Among these were the tour nament co-favorite, Ken Ven- turi,, Palo Alto, Calif.; former PGA champion Bob Rosburg, Overlan Park, Kans.; Cary Middlecoff, Memphis, Tenn., and Fred Hawkins, El Paso, Tex. Each had a three-over par 73. Close to the leaders with three-under-par 67s came Jul ius Boros, Mid-Pines, N.C.; Buddy Sullivan, Yuba City, Calif.; Jay Hebert, Lafayette La.; Tommy Bolt, Crystal Ri ver, Fla.; Don Fairfield Casey, 111., and Don January, Dallas, Tex.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Conservationists of the state of Oregon are keenly aware of many of the dangers that exist in the present plans for reorganization of our state government. One part of Gov ernor Hatfield's reorganiza tion program has to do with the creation of a department of natural resources. He pro poses to place the fish and game commissions in this de partment as one of several agencies dealing with the natural resources of the state of Oregon. Conservation groups throughout the state opposed to any move which would place the man agement of our fish and game within such a department. There are several good reas ons for their opposition and all conservationists should be aware of them. ONE MAN RULE Adequate management of our natural resources re quires that there be long term plan established by use of the best scientiiic knowledge arailable. This would not be possible under the plan of reorganisation proposed by the governor. The portion of his plans dealing with fish and game, end their place In the de partment of natural re sources, is to be found in Senate Bill No. 3 and Sen ate Bill No. 225. Opposition to these measures should be based on the following reasons: 1. The director of natural resources would hold his of fice at the pleasure of the goTernor and, ' therefore, could be removed without sufficient reason or Justifi cation and without a hear ing. This is contrary to pres ent law which states that the - governor can not re move the director of the game commission without a public hearing and pro per jusiificetion. 2. T h e adminisiretor 'of the fish and game division, a position comparable to the director of the game com mission, would serve at the pleasure of the director of the ' department of natural resources, with the appro val of the governor. His re moval from office would follow the seme conditions. 3. The fish and game board, which' would be com parable to the present game commission, would Be an pointed by the director of the department of neiural resources, with the approval of the governor. The mem bers would serve at his Great drinks begin with America's great whiskey 1 i Iced or Warmed Sweetened or Soured No Raise For Willie . San Francisco-(UPD-You will find Willie Mays patrolling center field again for the San Francisco Giants this season even if he didn't get his raise. Baseball's most exciting and highest paid player came to terms with the front office Thursday for the same $85,000. which he collected last year while being the "big guy" with a fifth place club. The Giants also announcea today that they had secured the signatures of pitcner Don Choate and infielder Arlo En gel, two rookies who helped swell the list of contented ballplayers to 25. Mays signed contract ar rived in Thursday's mail after he had said earlier he felt that a player who had driven in more than 100 runs and scored more than 100 should get a boost. Horace Stoneham, the club president, declared that no raises were contemplated. The 29-year-old Mays, who is entering his 10th season with the Giants, batted .319 last season while finishing third behind Dick Groat of Pittsburgh and Norm Larker of Los Angeles in the hitting ' ' ' Seagram i , ; J-, J'ukd tmis1' I T'1W"J J I Cod 265B nif4 ( I ?3Plnt -'jrm I I V Shortened or Lengthened .or all alone only Seagram's 7 Crown makes so many different drinks so satisfying, so smooth, so sure.

This plan of reorgani- ation would place the man agement of fish and game, under the influence of all types of political pressure. It would jeopardise any continuity of program or personnel, The result in poor employee morale would hamstring . any and all conservation efforts. 5. The inclusion of fish and game management in a department ,of natural re sources would depress the importance of fish and game in departmental considera tions. 6. I r a N. Gabrielson, president of the Wildlife Management institute, states: "Those states which have usually had the best administration of the wild life resources are those which are the furthest re moved from the governor's control." AMENI There are times when com plaints are heard from cer tain local groups when they feel that the game commission is too unresponsive to their re quests. And yet one would wonder whether they would trade that present independ ence for an agency that re sponded to every political pressure from above as well as below, to the extent that no real program of fish and game management was able to exist. The mistakes that are being made now are made be cause of a lack of knowledge, not in spite of knowledge. THE ANGLER'S LOG The weatherman is cooper ating too well with all this rain. So far the streams have not been too affected but this may change before Saturday rolls around. More rain and winds are forecast with freez ing levels so high that we could be fouled up for any thing but plunking a gob of eggs in a hole. Applegate River-Has plenty of fish and plenty of fisher men. If just part of those who fish this river wrote to the game commission, it's no won der the river is still open. Right now it s an even bet whether or not the fish you catch will be a fresh winter fish or a spawning fall-run fish. Some people can't tell a snake from a bright fish. The rain might help the winter run get here. Illinois River-Has fish in it, but they seem too scattered to give really good fishing. A limit catch will have to be worked for. The swinging bridge area hasn't paid off so well this year for the regu lars. The rains might put it out of sight. Klamath River - A few awfully dark fish are being caught in the Hornbrook area. Best luck seems to be 30 to 60 miles downriver. The Scott river has been fair to mid dling. Rogue River - The mud has been hitting the Hellsgate area about 10 a.m. and clears up about 4 p.m, Someone is turning loose that mud every night. There are plenty of fish in the river and it looks like the only ones in danger of being caught will be those that go up the Applegate. Smith River-Has been run ning hot and cold. Fish caught high up are close to spawning or on their way down again. But there are fish being caught. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The fact that conservation is a learned ideal is best dem onstrated in watching a small boy fight his first sieelhead. That fish is his and he shall have itl And don't try to throw it back, even if it is dark or small! But he will grow and he can learnto the extent that he finds fishing is more than catching and keeping what is his.
