Fanfare Key to the ability of the Klamath Union High school basketball team to stay on top - of the Southern Oregon con- lerenee despite crippled con " dition is "tummy," according ' to Wayne Scott, sports editor of the Klamath Falls Herald and News. Tummy, says Scott, is "a ' delicate word for guts." The H-N writed gave the same rea . son for the rise of Oregon Tech hoopmen to the top of the Oregon Collegiate con ference. 5 The Klamath Pelicans, of course, were without the ser vices of regulars Bruce Brick--' ner and Wally Palmberg in their week end wins over Ash I land and Klamath Falls and " regular Ray Taylor did not i start against Ashland because '. of banged up knee cap. This department will be watching this week for word on the degree of recovery of Brickner from the mumps and Palmberg from an appendec tomy - since Medford high en tertains the Pelicans on Friday. WHITE ON CRUTCHES Even Klamath Union Coach Dean White was an invalid last week end. He turned his ankle in a Thursday city league game and was on crutches. Salmon Cards. To Be Returned Portland - Anglers are re- minded it's the time of year to lend invaluable assistance to ward the future of salmon and steelhead angling in Oregon waters.. The contribution they are asked to render is a minor but important one - return ' their last year's salmon-steelhead punch card to the game com mission. The game commis sion has povided all license agents with punch card col lection boxes to make it easy and convenient for anglers to make their returns. The punch cards may also be returned to the game commission's re gional offices or mailed direct ly to its Portland headquar . ters, 1634 SI W. Alder. According to state law, ang lers are required to return these cards following the ex piration date. Failure to do so may result in the angler being refused a license or forfeit his license in ensuing years. Phil Schnider, state game director, said the punch card system of recording the sal mon and steelhead catch is in valuable in the over-all assess ment of the resource as well as stream by stream evalua tion of the catch. Night Shooting On Wednesday Medford Gun club will hold a night trapshoot on Wednes day. ' Shooting will start at 7 p.m. Practice activity will be in order and officers said that the type of shooting "will de pend on what the shooters want." THE CISSIC 181' "f Beautifully built to set trends in styling and savings beautifully built to take care of itself This is probably the moit imitated Look . in automobiles today. Take the rooflincr for instance. (Most other cars have!) Yet it looks best on its original setting, the Fold Galaxic. The roof and all the rest of the car were designed to go together. This is what makes the Classic Ford Look. Moreover, this car is as beautifully built as it is beautifully shaped. As Ford takes care of itself, it takes care of your budget. See the rmtcr at right, and you'll con clude: This is the Ford in your future. Way we open its door to you . . . soon? By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribuna Sports Editor JAYVEES TAKE OVER You might call the Black Tornado "crippled." too, when it fell to Grants Pass on Fri day night. At least, the regu lar cheer leaders were not on hand to lead the Medford high rooting section. They, we're told, were dancing in "Fin ian's Rainbow." Junior varsity girls took over. Now, girls, don't take this wrong. LENS MISSING Play in the Medford Grants Pass hoop fray was halted for several minutes, while Caveman reserves and referees searched over the floor for a contact lens CP's Mel Atkins was mis sing. Some of the girls in the GP rooting section -kept pointing and squealing, in dicating they saw the lens on the floor. But. it wasn't there at all. Guess wherel Caveman coach G or d o n Prohm found it up under Atkins' eyelid where the player couldn't feel it. NAME NOT INCLUSIVE Looks as if a new name might be in order for the A-2 high school Rogue league. Its top two schools in basket ball this season, Henley and Lakeview, are not even in the Rogue river valley. The league is scattered over four coun ties, Lake, Klamath, Jose phine and Jackson. The league does not intend to entertain the thought of changing the name, declares an official of one school. LEARNING YOUNG Remember Dave New -land.
