The Comets go to Ashland . this evening and nnnnA Grants Pass at Central Point on baturday. - Jim Allen, Tom White, Dennis Edwards and Loyal Higginbotham are the seniors. Carry-Over Of Bucks Said Good Portland - A good carry over of bucks and fawns sums up the reports of game biolo gists throughout the state up on completion of the annual deer herd composition stud ies to determine the ratios of bucks, does, and fawns in each herd. During their travels on the big gamp ranges this winter, game agents classified more than 23,00U animals as to sex and age and found about one buck for eve: tnree does ob served and about three fawns for every four does observed. The sex and age ratios dis close practically no change in the status of the herds from a year ago. The tally on the mule deer population in eastern Oregon shows a slight decrease in the buck-doe ratios from a year ago but a slight increase in the fawn production. Counts on eastern Oregon ranges were just under one buck for each four does observed com oared to exactly one to four last year. Buck Count Eastern Oregon fawn tallies stood at just over three fawns for each four does while a year ago the count was less than three to four. The buck count on the blacktail ranges was up slightly from last year, while the fawn-doe ratios re mained almost the same. Unusually mild weather this winter has permitted big game animals to .remain scat tered over extensive areas. On a few ranges the animals have made little attempt to migrate to wintering areas, preferring to remain at the higher elevations. Biologists are finding many animals well back on the normal summer ranges. Game managers are now in the process of sampling the big game ranges to determine trends in the total population numbers. Counts will contin ue into late spring. Mortality winter food conditions, and other factors affecting the herds will also be recorded during the trend survey.

E. Wil son game farms of the Ore gon state game commission. Production plans call for the rearing of 24,100 ringneck pheasants, 10,500 chukar par tridge, and 1,500 grey par tridge. Release of pheasants for this year is already under way with the planting of 4, 700 adult holdover birds, 900 going to eastern Oregon and 3,800 stocked west of the Cas cades. Three thousand more adult birds will be released during the spring months.

Releases of young birds in late summer will number about 5,500 followed by the release of 4,000 adults during the fall. Most of the grey partridge will be stocked in western Oregon in Columbia, Lane, and Jackson counties, where the game commission has been trying for several years to get populations of these birds established.

Tot Died As Dad Rejected Food, Police Declare Richmond, Va.- IUPII -Police say Carol Ann Dudley, 7, whose parents are accused of murdering her through ne glect, died at a highway truck stop of hunger after her father turned down an offer of food. Carol Ann was one of five of the six children who died of malnutrition as their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth E. Dudley, roamed the country in a dilapidated car looking for carnival jobs. Christine Dudley, 2, is the only sur vivor. Police said Carol Ann, weighing only 35 pounds and suffering from the effects of a leg fracture that her father had treated, perished of hun ger and other complications. Offered Family Food Mrs. T. O. Butler, a clerk at a truck stop just north of this Virginia capital, said she offered the Dudley family food on a wintry night four weeks ago as they sat in their parked car. "We went down to see if they had enough to eat," Mrs. Butler said, but were told the Dudleys were just wailing for a money order. She said they spent the night in the car, with the windows curtained and an oil stove apparently going inside, and drove on. Police said the bodies of Carol Ann, Claude Arthur, Norman James, Charles Aug ust and Deborah Jane were dumped casually about the country after the Dudleys started on a circus-following trip from Syracuse, N. Y., in 1958. CHURCH CUSTOM Chicago A church may be come a cathedral when it is designated as the official scat of a reigning bishop. Ph. SP 3-4818 St. Mary's, UCLA Must Produce United Press International The task is crystal clear for UCLA, St. Mary's and Gon- zaga's Frank Burgess tonight. They either produce or wind up second best. UCLA intercepts Southern California and a Trojan vic tory could just about wrap up things in the Big Five. The three survivors in the race are USC (6-2), UCLA (4-4) and Washington (6-4). The Huskies will not only be hoping for a Bruin win, but also trying to defeat re bounding California at Ber keley. The Huskies have had a disastrous time on the road this season and will be under dogs. To add to the Bruins and Huskies woes, they meet each other Sunday night in Los Angeles. St. Mary's (7-2) is at Santa Clara in a high-pressure West Coast Athletic conference bat tle tonight. The Gaels are la boring to keep up with Loyola (8-2) wnich should breeze past UOP tonight in Los Angeles. St. Mary's has won five straight - 10 of its last 11 - and their season mark of 18-5 is the best on the coast. But none of it will mean much if the Gaels can't get past the Broncs tonight. Santa Clara has a 16-9 mark. Burgess is involved in a torrid duel with Tom Chilton of East Tennessee State for the national scoring title. All depends on what happens to night at Moscow, Idaho. Chilton has concluded his season with 771 points in 24 games for a 32.1 average. Bur gess has meshed 805 in 25 games and must score 31 points in tonight's game with the Vandals to keep the crown. In Thursday night's only ac tion, Seattle closed its season with a 57-55 win over upset minded Idaho State. The Chieftains thus ended the season with a seven-game win streak and a good 18-7 record. DODGERS FEARED Fort Myers, Fla. - IUPII - General manager Joe Brown has picked the Los Angeles Dodgers as the club his Pitts burg Pirates will have to beat to retain the National league pennant.

McAndrews Road SP 2-5271 Reviewer Finds HS Class Play Is Well Done by Seniors The 'class play," a time honored tradition in this coun try, has been undergoing a revolution, at least in some communities of the western states. There was a time when few dramatic teachers and coaches in high schools and colleges dared to tackle anything diffi cult or meaningful. This is no longer true, for which we should be grateful. James Conant wrote, not long ago, that Americans in some districts have forgotten that the function of the school is not to entertain the parents and public, but to educate. This function is being ful filled, we believe, when a high schuol cast can produce a piny such as "The Cruci ble." This powerful work from the pen of Arthur Miller, American playwright, was chosen by Mrs. Lcnore Zapell, drama instructor at Medford High school, as the 1961 class play. It opened last night, and mere must nave been many adults in the audience who wondered what a high school cast could do with a play as difficult and complex as this one. Students Do Well They did well very well indeed. These students took a plot which deals witii witch craft, hale, fear, ignorance, superstition, misdirected re ligious zeal and adultery and came up with a believable, at times deeply dramatic produc tion. Terry Wiek Is cust as John Proctor, the sturdy and intel ligent young resident of early- day Salem, Mass., who goes to the gallows rather than give up his good name. Mark Good man plays the Rev. Samuel Parris, a minister whose God is one of fear rather than love, and Dean Miser takes the role of another minister, John Hale, who realizes loo late that he is helping send inno cent people to their denth- that the courts of Massachu setts are dealing in vengeance instead of justice. Linda Jo Waltermire is Abigail Williams, the beauti ful girl whose desires and fancies set off a dreadful chain of events; Beverly Geb- hard plays Elizabeth Proctor, John's cold and ailing wife. and Sara lliukle portrays Mary Warren, one of the fool ish and silly girls who claim they have been bewitched Others In Cast Others in the cast include Carolyn Finch as Tiluba, Ros alita Patch as Ann Putnam, who believes that her seven dead children were taken from her by sorcery, Dan Campbell is Governor Dan- forth, more concerned with the status of his courl than with justice, and Bob Walker plays Giles Corey, who won dered to his neighbors why his wife read so many books and as a result sees her exe cuted as a witch. If there are those who be lieve a high school casl cannot successfully handle a play of this depth, let them go and judge for themselves. Further more, it should be remem bered that while residents of this country no longer are charged with witchcraft, as they were In l(il)2, there is still tremendous pressure brought to bear on everyone to conform to certain ideas and ideals, and those who do nol sometimes have the finger pointed at them unjustly. There was sustained and ap preciative applause lasl night, nol only for the ploy cast but EASY AS FALLING OFF A LOG TRIHV1IX Concrete & Equipment FRIDAY, MARCH for those who planned and ex ecuted the excellent costumes, for the lighting crew and for John Drysdale and his school orchestra who were in good music form for the overture and between acts music.-O.S.
