NCAA Pairings Undecided United Press International If the MIT thinks it has problems in completing a tournament roster, how about the NCAA which has to wait on four conference playoffs to figure out the pairings for the 1961 championships?

IBUNB Robinson Escapes Penalty Las Vegas - (UPD - Despite earlier indications from the Nevada Boxing Commission that some sort of disciplinary action would be forthcoming, all Sugar Ray Robinson got Monday was his paycheck. And that was conside'rable $34,013.26, which will be aug meted by $50,000 from tele vision. The commission deliberated for six hours on Robinson's punishment for disrespectful conduct prior to his middle weight championship fight last Saturday night against Gene Fullmer. Fullmer won a unanimous 15-round decis ion, but Robinson, 40, put up a game battle. At the close of the com mission's session, Acting Chairman James Gay said the group had decided to take no action against Robinson or his chief aide, George Gainford. Once during the six-hour session, the Nevada attorney general was asked for a ruling to help the body reach its de cision. The commission was angry at Sugar Ray for, along with Gainsford, complaining about 1, the size of the ring, 2, the weight of the gloves and 3, me color ot tne trunks as signed to Fullmer. After a preliminary meet ing Sunday, Commissioner John Gammick said, "Before the fight we were unanimous that we must do something. After the bout, in which Rob inson put up such a game fight, some of us thought he had already paid enough of a penalty in being beaten and perhaps we should do noth ing." , Methodists Win Battle for 1st In YMCA Play First Methodist won a show down battle for first place with First Baptist 48-31 Mon day night in YMCA High School Church league basket ball action. The Methodists now have a 7-1 record. First Baptist is 6-2. Phil Humphreys poured in 16 points for the Method ists. Don Kilbourn had 10 for the Baptists. Halftime score favored the Methodists 19-11. First Presbyterian retained third place, despite a 27-23 setback at the hands of West minster Presbyterian. First now has a 4-3 record. John Pierce and Steve Cummins each scored seven points to lead Westminster. Jim Hatch had 10 for the losers. West minster trailed 13-12 at half time. St. Luke's topped First Christian 28-21, however, the Christians stayed at fourth place In standings with a 4-4 record. Dick Griffin was high point man for St. Luke's with 20. Leonard Welch had 10 for the Christians. St. Luke's had a halftime lead of 21-8.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - The While House has given a sympath etic reception to the idea ad- v a n c e d by Sen. Maurine Neuberger for c o n d ucting fish passage tests on Idaho Power Co. dams in the Snake river. The Kennedy Admin islra- sniitu tion is looking into the feasibility of the Ore gon senator's proposal for cre ation of a Columbia River Fishery Restoration Task Force. The idea is bound lo be given serious study because of the new administration's immediate effort lo determine its policy respecting the rival public and private power plans for the Snake river be low Hells Canyon. As Mrs. Neuberger put It in her letter to President Kennedy: "Any decision in this par ticular case will have grave, long-term effect on the use of water for fish and power pro duction." Mrs. Neuberger's idea is that this special task force would accelerate research and SP Train Derailed North of Dunsmuir Portland - (UPD - The South ern Pacific's northbound Shas ta Daylight arrived here more than four hours late Mon day because of a derailment Sunday of the front part of a freight train 23 miles north of Dunsmuir, Calif. SP officials said three loco motive units and two boxcars were derailed about 10 a.m. Cause wasn't determined. No one was hurt. Crews from Klamath Falls and Dunsmuir reopened the line at 6 p.m. The Shasta Daylight arriv ed here at 3:35 a.m. The south bound Klamath mail and ex press train was delayed 8 hours and 50 minutes. Satellite Model on Display at Capitol Salem - d'PP - A model of America's satellite Pioneer V went on display Monday for a week In the State Capitol building. The 2B inch spare laborato ry was built by Space Tech nology Laboratories, Inc., Los Angeles. Other satellites and rocket models also are part of the layout. A co-sponsor of the display is Boeing Airplane Co., and purpose is to impress upon members of the legislature the pending lease for the Boardman bombing range. One lawmaker cracked: "Next week we'll have nil well pumping on the Capitol iifM-" Track, Tennis Underway at Ashland Track and tennis on the Southern Oregon col lege campus officially got un derway last week, and both track coach Dan Bulklcy and tennis mentor Dr. Alex Peter sen were greeted by letter-men-laden turnouts. Dr. Petersen's net crew is defending Oregon Collegiate conference champion and three lettermen were among the initial turnout of 10 hope fuls. Graduation last spring claimed Bruce Merrill and Dick Clark but returnees are Captain John Root, Ken Mil ler, and Ron Singler. Holdovers from the 1960 squad are Byron Palmer and Rolin Hegler while newcom ers are transfer Bruce Eagle, John Smith, Curtis Boardman, Jim Johns, and Willis Wil liams. En route to capturing the league crown last year, their fifth title in the last six years, the Raider netters piled up an 8-3 record in dual meet competition. It was one of the best dual meet marks com piled by a Raider tennis team, noted Dr. Petersen. The Raider crew opens the 1961 season against Shasta JC at Redding on March 9. The Raiders then take a five-day swing through California and Nevada from March 21 through 25, meeting Chico State at Chico, the Cal Aggies at Davis, Sacramento State at Sacramento, University of Pa cific at Stockton, and Uni versity of Nevada at Reno on successive days. Bulkley s tracksters who finished second behind Port land State in the conference meet last season, will be mis sing speedster Stuart Baker in the. sprints but the pros pects look bright in all other events. Lettermen, numbering 10, recommend a program for re storing the migratory fish runs throughout the Columbia river basin. Personnel and facilities for the task force could be pro vided by the various agencies of the government in the field -Fish and Wildlife Service Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, Public Health Service, Federal Power Com mission, Bonneville Power Administration. The task force, she feels, would be useful because it would compel coordination of research and planning by these agencies. The idea of using Idaho Power's Brownlee and Oxbow dams as a pilot plant for ex perimenting with new fish passage facilities is a "two birds with one stone" sugges tion. The Idaho utility has had dismal results from the de vices it has employed at Brownlee dam to permit pas sage of migratory runs. If a successful method can be em ployed there, then it might be applied at other large dams. Would Be Mistake "I think it would be a mis take to write off the fishery potential of the Snake river drainage above the Idaho Power dams, merely because the first attempt to solve fish passage problems was unsuc cessful," she said. "This is especially true in view of the fact that a solu tion there of the fish-passage problem - if there is one -would have application al other sites where high dams are proposed," she added. She allowed that dams were not the only cause of declin-; ing fish runs. The task force j could go into such other j causes as pollution and dis-; ease. Up to now the Kennedy Ad ministration has given little! hint of its direction or atti tude in the pending Snake river disnute between Pacific Northwest Power Co. andiljB Washington Public P o w e r Supply System. ! WPPSS in recent weeks has been claiming that a solution' has been found for passing fish around high dams such as Nez Perce. They refer to the louver screen method for col lecting fingerlings before they are plunged to their destruc tion in the turbines. This sys tem is now operating with 98 to 100 per cent efficiency In recovering salmon and steel head fingerlings at the Tracy project in California's Central Vallcv Project, according to WPPSS. Pacific Northwest Power Co. officials pooh-pooh this claim that the problem has been solved. They admit the louver is working at Tracy, but they claim the biologists and engineers don't know ex actly why it works and there fore may not be able to dupli cate favorable operations else where. The Neuberger proposal is to give It a try and ice what Workouts SO College include Howard Hartnian in the hurdles. Don Korth, jave lin, Ken Coffman, half mile, Ora Bannister, quarter mile, Chuck Swingle, both half and quarter, Dave Graham, half, John Jones, 100 and 220, and Len Dobry, shot put and dis cus. A number of newcomers, freshmen and transfers alike, should combine with the let termen veterans to bolster and balance the squad, notes Bulk ley. Included on this list are transfers Terry Boatman and Jerry Amdt, freshman Harold Haugen, Ed Suses, Hugh Nich ols, and Nora Pawloski in the distances; freshman Jerry Shults and Steve Fitzwalter in the high jump; frosh Doug Olson in the broad jump; sophomore Bub Jensen and frosh John Dickerson in the pole vault; Syl Hunt and Dave Carter in the hurdles; Hunt, Jim Southam, and Rich Len hert in the 440; Leliert in the 220; and holdover Noble Ad amek and frosh Ron Baker, Ken Jorde, and Ron Mullanix in the shot and discus. First action for the track sters is a three-way meet with powerful Santa Clara and the Cal Aggies at Davis on March 18. However, Bulklcy has hopes of holding an inter-class meet on March 11. Loyola Nears West Coast Hooo Crown By United Press Iniernaiional Loyola faces Penperdine to night with the West Coast Athletic conference title and an NCAA tournament berth awaiting the Lions should they win. The Lions, 9-2, don't figure lo get much sass from Pop perdine, 3-8, but upsets are always possible when old enemies meet. Second place USF, 7-3, also has its hands full. The Dons face Santa Clara, 7-4, on the Broncs court. It was there that St. Mary's, 7-4, saw its hopes vanish last Friday in an egg-spattered contest. A Bronc win over. USF would probably bring about a three-way lie for second in the WCAC. The dels close out their year against winlcss U. of Pacific, 0-10. The league's two top scorers. Ken Stanley of the Tigers, and Tom Meschory of the Gaels, will match shots in this one.
