Grizzlies Meet KF
Ashland Saturday,

much desiring triumph clash
here Saturday night in South
ern Oregon conference basket
ball. Crater high is host to the
Ashland Grizzlies with the
varsity game listed for 8:15
p.m. after 4:30 p.m. sopho

Point after contention at home
this evening with league lead
ing Klamath Falls. .
The Grizzlies still are after
their first win of the season.
, Crater has won only from
Ashland in the conference.
Comet Coach Lloyd Hoffine
will likely pick his lineup
from among Dennis Edwards,
Loyal Higinbotham, Bryson
LaCasse, Tom White, Louis
Alvarez, Mike Glines, i and
Jim Allen. 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.
Allen is almost certain to
see duty if Ashland uses zone
defense. He has been hitting
, long one-hander shots with
.' regularity. . Crater also has
long range gunners in Higin
botham, Alvarez and Glines.
Pat Pepper, juniorvvarsity
player ' and varsity reserve,
may be in suit but is not ex
pected to play for the Comets
because of "an ankle sprain
last week end. ' r

At Ashland Coach Earl Iba
has continued drilling the
Grizzlies on a two platoon
basis. He's pretty well figured
whom he can "work around"
but was not set this morning
on who would start against
Klamath tonight.
Iba said that the recent ad
ditions to the club, Rick and
Larry Pierce, Jim Doster and
Bob Voris, are "coming along
a little bit." He pointed out
that it takes time to learn the
patterns but that, if they settle
down to it, the Grizzlies could
mean trouble for both Klam
ath and Crater.
Klamath, unmarred in the
league, is missing Wally Palm
berg because of an appendec
tomy and Bruce Brickner be
cause of mumps.

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.

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

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

pleasure, and the conditions
of their removal would fol
low the same conditions.
4. 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.
