Ramp at Reedsport
Ready for Anglers
, Portland-A new boat ramp
located at the old ferry slip
at the end of Rainbow Plaza
street in Reedsport is now
ready for use providing addi
tional access to angling oppor
tunities in the upper portions
of Winchester bay and the
lower Umpqua river. Boat
launching facilities already
available to anglers in this
area include a second Reeds
port ramp and a ramp at
Gardiner across the river.
The new ferry slip ramp is
built of prestressed concrete
set on piling. It is 30 feet wide
and slopes gently into the
Umpqua river. Parking is
somewhat limited at the site,
but Rainbow Plaza street is
available with adequate park
ing across the railroad tracks
about a block away.
Ferry slip access is the re

WIDE ATTENTION
Woods, Water, Wildlife
By Hank DeVoss
Several weeks ago it was
reported in this column that
there was a move afoot to
combine the state fish and
game commissions. Objection
was made at that time to the
tentative plan of making the
commission's advisory instead
of policymaking, with final
power resting with the gov
ernor. Last week this column
reported on the senate bills
that would create a depart
ment of natural resources
over a division of fish and
game. These bills, Nos. 3 and
225, were entered at the re
quest of Governor Mark Hat
field. They were opposed in
this column because of their
lack of safeguards against po
litical pressure.
NO END TO IT
Now it just so happens that
there is another bill that has
been entered in the House of
Representatives at the request
of the interim committee on
natural resources. House bill
No. 1271 proposes to set up a
department of fish and game,
consisting of the fish and game
commission and a fish and
game director. This bill in
tends the amending of two
laws thai make the present
game commission a politically
independent,, policy making
body. Every sportsman should
be aware of these two laws
and the rights they maintain
for him.
They are Oregon Revised
Statute: 496.115 Removal of
commision members. The gov
ernor may remove any mem
ber of the game commission
for inefficiency,' neglect of
duty or misconduct in office.
The governor, shall give the
member a copy of the charges
against him and an opportun
ity of being publicly heard in
person, or by counsel, in his
own defense, upon not less
than IS days notice. If the
member is removed, the gov
ernor shall file in the office
of the Secretary of State a
complete' statement of all
charges made against the
member, and his findings
thereon, together with a com
plete record of the proceed
ings. 496.140 Removal of director.
The game commission may re
move the game director for
cause, and shall give him a
copy of the charges against
him and an opportunity of be
ing publicly heard in person
or by counsel in his own de
fense, upon not less than 15
days' notice.
INSURANCE GONE
House Bill No. 1271 niakes
it so easy for the governor
to remove a commissioner that
it would end with the man
agement of our fish and game
being a pawn in every elec
tion. And everyone knows
that the pawn is one of the
first pieces lost in the game.
It doesn't make sense to re
place laws such as those men
tioned above, when those same
laws came only after a long,
hard struggle to attain good
fish and game manaeement.
NOTHING FOR SOMETHING
The sections of the new bill
that would replace the old
laws are:
(4) A member of the com
mission may not be removed
by the governor except for in
efficiency, neglect of duly or
misconduct in office.
Section 7. (1) Subject to the
approval of the governor, the
commission shall appoint a
director who is responsible to
the commission for the per
formance of the functions of
the department. The director
shall hold his position at the
pleasure of the commission
and shall receive such salary
as may be fixed by the com
mission. '
Although the bills that have
been mentioned are intended
to combine the fish and game

Talk that Johansson may
have been doped before his
bout with Patterson last
June 20 was given wide at
tention after the Swedish
former heavyweight cham
pion was interviewed here
earlier in the week by UPI
sports columnist Oscar Fra
ley. "I can't say myself that I
actually was doped." Jo
hansson told Fraley. "But if
you are doped, you feel
good. That's why people
take dope. Well, I felt good
but I felt funny. I felt too
good. And Patterson never
before knocked out any
body with one punch."
them is based on the manner
in which this intention is to
be carried out. The question
as to whether or not the com
missions should be combined
is quite another matter and
is not a part of this opposi
tion. THE ANGLER'S LOG

There are worse - things
than being cold and wet

Miami-HJPD-A pair of pitch
ing comebacks will carry his
Chicago White Sox to the
American league pennant this
season, manager Al Lopez
predicted confidently today.
One will be by Herb Score,
he asserted. And the other
will be by Cal McLish.
"Don't make any mistake,"
he said as he competed in
the ballplayers golf champion
ship. "With the new enlarged
schedule it's a cinch that
pitching will decide the issue
and we've got it."
The New York Yankees,
Lopez feels, were hurt worse
than any other team in the
league by drafting of players
to stock the two new clubs
in what is now a 10-team
league and lack of pitching
should spell their downfall.
"They were hurt worse than
anybody," he insisted. "They
lost Duke Maas, Bobby Shantz
and Eli Grba. Then, too, Gil
McDougald retired and they
also lost Dale Long and Bob
Cerv. They'll really be hurt
ing for pitching with 162
games to play."
1960 Team Falters
Lopez said that he still feels
a keen disappointment over
his team's failure to win the
flag last season.
"In the first half of the sea
son, our front line pitching
was - bad and the bull pen
was good," he groaned. "In
the second half, our pitching
picked up but the bull pen
failed."
He looks for a good season
out of Early Wynn, he ex
plained. "Early had a poor first half
of the season, but in the sec
ond half he was about as good
a pitcher as there was in the
league. I'm not worried about
him."
But it is evident that he is
counting heavily on McLish
and Score, the fireball pitcher
who has been ineffective after
almost losing his sight sev
eral seasons ago when he was
struck by a ball off the bat
of McDougald.
"McLish two years ago beat
the Yankees six to one," he
enthused. "He beat Detroit,
four games to two, and he
beat us, four games to one.
That's 14-4 against first divi
sion clubs. Last year at Cin
cinnati, the ' ball park and

that he "saw signs" last year

Maryland
Wins Over
Blue Devils
By MARTIN LADER
United Press International
Duke, bombarded from all
sides, is caught in a three-way
trap today while Cincinnati
appears to have left all its
troubles behind.
The Blue Devils, who only
few days ago were riding
high atop the Atlantic Coast
conference s t a n d i n gs and
were boasting one of the fin
est sophomores in college bas
ketball-Art Heyman-are now
without both following a 76-71
upset defeat at the hands of
Maryland Thursday night.
Heyman was the first to go
the victim of an ACC suspen
sion for his part in a free-for-
all when Duke played North
Carolina Feb. 4. Taking the
court without its top scorer,
Duke fell before the spirit,
hustle and sharp shooting of
the Terrapins.
Lose Two Straight
The defeat was the second
straight for the Blue Devils
and dropped them behind
North Carolina and Wake For
est in the ACC race.
Cincinnati, which couldn t
set organized at the begin-
nine of the season, won its
13th consecutive game wun a
67-64 decision over Wichita
Thursday night and stretched
its Missouri Valley comer-
ence lead to a full game over
second-place Bradley.
Bradley, the only team witn
fair chance of overhauling
Cincinnati, took an easy 90-74
decision from Houston in a
non-conference clash.
A near-riot disrupted the
Missouri Valley Conference
tilt between Drake and Tulsa
at Des Moines. The estimated
3.500 fans became so uncon
trollable that officials were
forced to stop the game to al.
low Drake coach Maurice
John to ask the crowd for
order. The off icials had threat
ened, to forfeit the game to
Tulsa if the fans continued to
litter the floor. Drake event
ually won the game, 88-84.

be satisfied with a winning
high jump of a little more
than seven feet tonight when
John Thomas and Russia's

Since then Brumel, 18, has
gone even higher with a 7-4 Va
