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?
One of the playoffs is in the
Skyline conference, where
Utah and Colorado State U.
meet on Saturday. The cham
pion goes on to a second
round meeting with the West
Coast conference winner at
Portland, Ore., March 17. The
loser is expected to join the
NIT field.
Sudden death contests also
are slated for the Southeast
ern conference, where Ken
tucky meets Vanderbilt at
Knoxville, Term., Thursday
night; the Ohio Valley confer
ence, with Morehead State
and Western Kentucky slated
for a Wednesday night meet
ing, and a Border conference
clash between New Mexico
State and Arizona State at a
date and site to be announced
later this week.
Win Under Pressure
Credit must be given to a
game New Mexico State out
fit. The Aggies, watching Ari
zona State finish its confer
ence season with a 9-1 mark
on Feb. 25, knew if they
dropped one of their remain
ing three contests it was all
over.

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." ,

ON FIGHT CARD John L.
Sullivan, above, Medford Po-
ice Athletic league boxer,
bears the name of a famed
pugilist of bygone years. And
in his bouts the 160-pounder
tries hard to live up to the
reputation of the one time
heavyweight champ. He'll ap
pear on the PAL club's March
of Dimes card on Saturday
night, March 11, at the Med
ford Armory. Sullivan has a
lightning fast jab and in re
cent bouts has kept his foes off
balance. When the going gets
tough he bores in and bangs
away with both hands. Sul
livan is to face Chris Short,
Empire. Proceeds of the card
will go to the National Re
search foundation for battle
against police, arthritis and
rheumatic fever. Tickets can
be bought at the city police
station, Sam's Sporting Goods

Mrs. Neuberger's
Proposal on Fish
Passage Tests Liked
By A. 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

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

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

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:

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
