2 B Art Heyman Shines for Blue Devils By GARY KALE Uniltd Prw International Art Heyman, a New Yorker who made the grade as a Cuke, treated home fans roy ally in his first Madison Square Garden appearance and had ; them applauding wildly for a return perform ance in the NCAA basketball tournament. The 6-5 Heyman, a sopho- J more sensation .who already is making threatening over tures toward Dick Groat Blue Devil cage records, dis played iron-clad nerves before the home turnout Thursday night as he scored 36 points in Duke's 112-78 victory over Scton Hall, Heyman, averaging -25 points per game for the eighth ranked team from Durham, N.C., unleashed ' a 24-point burst in the first half that had the Pirates reeling. Equals Season High: His final total equalled the season's high for a collegian at the Garden set by Hank Gunter of Seton Hall last De cember. The Duke team total matched the top output at the Brena for 1960-61 that was re corded by Dayton against Seton Hall. ' Duke is rated a favorite to take the upcoming Atlantic Coast conference playoffs and with It a first round berth in the NCAA games at the Gar den. The Blue Devils then would meet 10th ranked St. John's on March 14. - St. - John's .- downed Mar quette, 83-69, to lead a parade of other ranked teams that won Thursday night.

The fairways of the Sher wood Forest course were still soggey in spots and PGA of ficials liberalized the ground rules to offset standing water In some places, as , the 1 first round play began. . ' . Entries were allowed to clean and move balls two feet In the fairways, and par was trimmed two strokes to 70 to compensate for the relaxed ground rules. Entered with the op-fllght pros were 12 amateurs, and Dave Hill, fresh from winning the Tucson' Open last week, was expected to set the pace for the non-professionals. NY Businessmen Seek Liston's Contract ' New York (UPD - Rocky Marciano disclosed today that he and a group of New York businessmen are considering the purchase of heavyweight Sonny Liston's contract. Llslon, 26, of Philadelphia, Is rated the world's top con tender by both the Ring maga zine and the National Boxing association. His 31 victories in 32 fights include 21 knock outs. "We expect to start negotia tions just as soon as we de cide what we can reasonably offer," explained Marciano, who was the ring's only perfect-record heavyweight cham pion when he retired in 1956 after 49 straight victories as a professional. At Allontown, Pa., manager Joseph Pop Barone . and at torney Eugene J. Gorman said neither Marciano nor any of his group had made a biJ y,il for Liston's contract. Medford 3rd in Class In Telephone Tourney Medford's team placed third in Class B with a 2914 score in the Pacific Telephone bowl ing tourney it Salem last week end. Howard Rickman paced the team with a 534. Roseburg won first In the class with 3134 and Eugene had 2956. Grants Pass took Class A with 2901. Gil Hodges Optimistic By FRED DOWN , United Press International Gil Hodges doesn't often pop off so the . Los Angeles Dodgers' . National league rivals had two good reasons today to perk up their ears. First, the veteran first-baseman believes that the 1961 Dodgers will prove stronger than the club that brought Los Angeles and world cham pionship in 1959. And, second he sees Frank Howard and Duke Snider forming a 1-2 punch that'll produce between 50 and 60 home runs. 'I think we have an' ox cellcnt chance to win on our pitching alone," said Hodges, who is hoping for a comeback after hitting only .198 last season. "This club is better than in 1959 because our pitch ers are more experienced and we have more speed and more punch." The Dodgers finished fifth in the league with a club total of ,126 homers in 1960 but Hodges predicted that Howard and Snider will take up the slack this year and give them an autnentle power-muing duo. OCC Chase Concludes Saturday Portland-The Oregon Coll egiate Conference basketball race goes into the final week end series tonight and Sat urday night with Oregon Tech holding a game lead over Eastern Oregon and Portland State and in position to give Coach Wally Palmberg his third OCC championship bas etball title. Tech (10-4) travels to Ore gon College of Education for Friday night and Saturday afternoon contests while East ern Oregon (9-5) is in Port land to meet Portland State (9-5) at Wilson High Friday night and Lincoln High Sat urday evening. If Tech drops one game to the cellar-dwelling Wolves (2-12) and either EOC or PSC sweeps their series the race ends in a two-way deadlock. Tech needs one win for the title if the other clubs split against one another. The race also could end in a three-way tie should Tech stumble twice and the Mounties and Viks solit. Southern Oregon (6-10) completed its schedule Tues day with a 93-60 loss to OTI. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVois Syracuse Rolls Over St. Louis . United Press International .' It 'seems ; to be getting easier every day for the sur prising Syracuse Nationals In the National Basketball asso ciation. Syracuse' had no trouble at all in whipping the Western division leading St. Louis Hawks, 144-116, Thursday. Jumping to a 27-7 lead early in the game, the Nats spurted to their 11th victory in their last 13 starts. However, Syracuse failed to gain ground on second place in the Eastern division race as Philadelphia was whipping the Detroit Pistons, 129-121, behind the 49-point performance of Wilt Cham berlain. Syracuse still trails the Warriors by four and one half games.

Fighters .Cool At Show Taping Palm Beach, Fla.-IUPD-Champlon - Floyd Patterson and challenger Ingemar Jo hansson resumed training to day after giving each other the silent treatment during taping of a television show here Thursday night. Patterson and Johansson training for a third title fight March 13 at Miami Beach sat on each side of Jackie Glcason Thursday night, lis tened quietly to his quips and watched films of the knock outs in their last two fights. They wouidn t shake hands for photographers before hand, but they did it at Glca- son's request for the tele vision cameras. Then they departed in dif ferent directions with hardly a word. The move has been made to start the big steal and now is the time for all conserva tionists, as well as all those who are interested in the fu ture health and wellbeing of our children, to pick up pen or phone and tell our local state representatives that things have gone too far. THE TWO BILLS Two bills have) bean intro duced to iha legislature, Noi. 1497 and 1551. that ask that water ba appropriated from iha Rogua rivar for industrial purposes. If anyone wonders why this should ba of such grava importanca, that parson should become acquainted with two facts: Ona is con-, earned with our peculiar cli mate and the lemparaiura in versions that keep smoke, fog, and smudga down on iha val ley floor for weeks at a time. The other is concerned with tha knowledge that iha only kinds of industry that require an amount of water through special appropriation ara the pulp and paper mills. Any in dustry requiring lass water can gat it from iha cities of Grants Pass or Medford. - A pulp or paper mill will pollute our air and our water to such a degree . that- this valley will become noted for nothing other than its desire to promote economic progress. Any legislator who supports such progress must have soma vary peculiar values regard ing his fallow man and should ba persuaded that we do not wish to trade ona of tha best places to enjoy living for ona of tha best places to make Eugene Group Studies Possible Ski Area Eugene (UPD A group in Eugene has been formed to make a study of the possible development of a major ski ing and winter sports area at Diamond peak near here. Diamond peak, located about 70 miles southeast of Eugene near Oakrldge, is owned by the U.S. forest service. The - group includes busi nessmen, doctors, lawyers and architects. Plans call for the area to be located at the 8.000 foot levels at Diamond peak, which in 1857 was designated as a wild protected area.

Roseburg, leader in the tough district 5 race, can get a spot by winning over Spring field tonight or Marshfield Saturday night. Medford can gain the sec ond spot behind Klamath Falls In, the Southern conference by beating Ashland tonight and Grants Pass Saturday.

Teams already in the A-l meet include Central Catholic, Grant, Wilson, Scappoose, Til lamook, Bend, La Grande and Klamath Falls. Detroit Lions Note Harmony DetroiMUPD-It's out of the executive suite and back to the football field today for the Detroit Lions. What had been forecast as bitterly contested proxy fight for control of the Na tional Football league club petered out into what Presi dent William Clay Ford de scribed as "A new era of harmony.". Ford claimed ' solid victory after Thursday's stockholder's meeting at which his manage ment retained control of the board of directors. But the dissidents, too, could claim victory - though they did not. The Insurgents, led by former President D. Lyle Fife, elected five mem bers of the 15-man board, a gain of four seats, i . money for iha pulp and paper industry. It's a sura thing that w can t have both. WHAT TO DO These two bills are present ly with the state and federal affairs committee. Our local state senator, Lynn Newbry, is a member of that commit tee, which has Norman R. Howard 'as chairman. These people should know what we think of this attempt to ruin a beautiful valley and destroy one of the most famous fish ing streams in the world. Our state representatives, Robert Duncan and John Dellenback, should know that this is not desired by the people. The best way for them to find out is to be told. EXTREME? It might ba wail argued that this is an axtrema point of view and there ara safeguards that will protect us from such dire calamities. At this time there ara - no sateguards against water and air pollu tion. The only safeguards to be counted - on are those deemed economically advis able by the industries con cerned. Whan industry can assure us through common practice that they have solved their pollution problems: than, and not before, can wa wel come them to our water and our air. THE MERGER One of the biggest decisions facing conservationists in this state is that having to do with the proposal to merge the fish and game commissions. There is little sense in having two agencies manage the same re source. The result is duplica tion of effort, and conflict of interests. Our salmon and steelhead will be better main tained by one agency, but our problem is to find the means of establishing such an agency without damaging the re source in the process. A VIEWPOINT It is tha opinion of this writer that tha days ara num bared of those commercial fishermen who fish for salmon and steelhead with nets. Tha time is here whan these fish ara worth far more to iha state of Oregon as sports caught fish. There was a time when these fish ware used as fertiliser. When their abundance declined they had their greatest value as a food fish. Now their numbers ara such that they ara wasted as food fish whan thair value is so great at a basis for tha sportsfishing industry. Tha merging1 of ' tha' two commis sions should bring about this necessary change. THE ANGLER'S LOG The weatherman is fairly certain that a big storm might be here to plague the fishing on this last week end of the winter steelhead season. He won't say how much rain or exactly when, so anybody s guess is a good one. Small Worlds Around Us f r w3Watkins (Resistor it Tribune Syndicate, 1961) Annlerate River Plenty of fish have been caught. It's been getting slower though; seven fish were taken bv 43 aneters on Thursday with five fish dark and two fish orient. Anir.ers are omtmist c de spite the fact that it takes 16 manhourt to catch one fish. Illinois River Has been settinff slower and slower. Tuesday saw nine taken bv 32 analers and Thursday saw two fish taken by 20 anglers. It takes a lot of flsh- Ine for a fish. Hiamain Kiver wna rumors oi good fishing downriver continue to filter in. The work on Irongate dam has been clobbering up the water. Roe tie River Has seen very lit tle fishing and very few fish caught. The mid-week rain piit Ga lice creek out of shape and so on down the river. It will be fish able this week end If the rain holds off. THE OPTIMIST S CORNER I wonder how many people realize when they compro mise with their values, and how many are aware of when they have no values left.

McAndrews Vw SP 2"5271 pment Hon P y Rd. , oT ' The Tomato Onca Was A 'Dangerous' Ornament Nothing for you to worry i , i . i . i .i y huuul, uut juai xur me jecura - did you know the object you slice up for a salad, that we call a tomato, is a berry? It's a fact. And it's a little confusing, but that's botany for you, ' and that's what science has to say. So even if you contradict it, it's still a scientific fact. Neither would you be ex pected to believe that other members' of the nightshade family, to which the tomato belongs, are also included in the group of plants described as solanaceous plants. To men tion some, there s the petunia, gooseberry, tobacco, grapes and the currant. These, along with tomatoes. have the seeds buried in the pulp. Of course, the tomato will continue to taste just as good to all of us even if we have been calling it wrong all these years. . Only Ornament It's sort of peculiar, too, that fdr many, many years the tomato was considered only as an ornament, raised only because it had attractive foliage and for the unusual ness of its berry fruit. The tomato, so the plant research er says, had its early be ginning in Peru. Later it was introduced into Europe as a curiosity. From there, and much later, it was brought to the New World - that s us, Only at the time they were not called "tomatoes." They were named "love apples," and were a part of some gardens only because they "were pretty." At the time, too, children were cautioned against eat ing them, for they were thought to be "very poison ous." Of course grown folks, being even dumber than the children, were supposed to know enough to leave them alone. Even after many years of association and timid experi mentation on early American tables, the housewife was still cautious. She was told to be sure and cut out any spot or blemish, as these were sup posed to cause cancer. Strangely enough this silly superstition lasted for many years. ' There are many wild va rieties of tomato. These are usually yellow when ripe in stead of red, and nearly all of them have a bitter taste. Some of the wild ones re semble the so-called "ground cherry." These little fellows grow low in the small bushes in a parachute-like husk, and often resemble small "Chi nese lanterns." p7 lilies?
