"I am not picking either man," he emphasized, "but I have heard odds which make Patterson a 4-1 or 18-5 fa vorite. If one man is truly a 4-1 favorite, the two mon do not -belong in the same ring in a championship fight. Closed circuit television showing of the Ingemar Jo-hansson-F 1 o y d Patterson heavyweight boxing bout will be presented Monday evening at the Craterian theatre hore. The theatre yesterday afternoon was re ported about 150 tickets of a sellout. "I like punchers, and both these men can punch. But Johansson can punch better with his right than Patterson can. This doesn't mean I pick Johansson to wlp, but It does mean thnt this will be a very even fight - it is not any 4-1 affair." Schmeling pointed out that both men are in fine physical condition, and that there is no psychological edge to either. "Patterson underestimated Johansson in the first fight, Ingemar underestimated Floyd in the second," Max said. "Now each has proper respect for the other. "Really, it is taking the easy way to just guess at a winner and a round. You must look carefully at both men and when you do that for this fight, you have lo say that cither man could win."

SIPdDMTS Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank There is some reason to be lieve that the issue of using water from the main stem of the Rogue river for industry has been settled for some time. Until the basin develop ment plan is complete and there is a surplus of water in the river, we can rest awhile from the battle to save the Rogue. All we can hope for is a breather because there's al ways another fight in the making. SENATE BILL 36 There ii one hurdle that should be overcome before industry it allowed to use water from the main stem of the Rogue, and that is the problem of pollution. Senate Bill No. 36, if passed as it now is amended, would dull the teeth of the state sanitary authority so that there never would be a guarantee against pollution. The common man can find his only real protection from industry in the law, and then only if it is en forced. WHOSE WATER? . One problem that is plagu ing many conservationists at the present time is the prob lem of water rights. Does the state have jurisdiction over that water entirely within its boundaries, or does the right of the federal government supersede that of the state? The Pelton decision gave a fairly conclusive answer to the question, and it can be ex pected that the Supreme Court will continue to decide in favor of the federal gov ernment. This makes every stream in the Northwest vul nerable lo power develop ment. BUZZARD ROOST Our own case in point is found in the proposed dam on the Illinois - Buzzard Roost, It would appear that there are two alternative plans of action that could change the present situa tion. There is some question as lo which plan would be most effective. One plan would be to have congress pass a law giving the stale jurisdiction over those waters that origi nate, for the most part, within its boundaries. This would slop the Pelton-Uke decisions of the federal Su preme Court. A difficulty from the conservationist's point of view lies in the fact that some stales still do not give any consideration to the use of water for fish or recreation. This would limit the effectiveness of this change. The second plan would be to change, through congres sional action, the laws em powering the foderal power commission. The FPC makot its decisions on the basis of law, and if the law made fish and recreation values to be considered, one might expect decisions somewhat less harmful to the cause of conservation. One thing is for sure-the cure for our ills lies in ac tion on the federal level. THE ANGLER'S LOG Because of the controversy that exists regarding the new winter stcelhead regulations on the Rogue, it was felt that there would be interest in the results of the creel census for the past season. The report deals only with the Rogue, from llcllsgatc to the Graves creek bridge, during the win creek bridge, during the peri od from Dec. 1 to Feb. 28. FISHERMEN There were approximate ly 7.000 anglers days spent on the river by both shore anglers and boat fishermen. 'An angler day is one fisher man out to lish for any length of time. A break down of 49 interviews, a rather small sample for use, showed that the average fisherman spent 3.9 hours on the river. It was found that the distribution of fish ermen was equal along the entire open area. Poison Oak? Try i Bottle of ZEMACOL You muit kt itiilitd er youi monty cheerfully rei'wtd.

Falls (9) Jim Barry, Medford (8) Louit Alvarez, Crater (7) DeVoss BOATING One of the most heard ar guments regarding this season had to do with the feeling that there were few places for the shore angler to fish and the water was too rough for the casual boatman. The report found 26 conflicts where boats moved in on shore anglers and interfered with their lines and their fishing. The several boats that were considered to be inade quate for the type of water they were in amounted to 6.2 per cent of the total number of boats. STEELHEAD It is still too early to be absolutely sure, but the im pressions of several anglers that it was a small winter run may be borne out by the counts. All streams that have been checked, and they were clear enough to show fish, reveal fewer fish than usual. This seems to be the case on the Rogue, the Illinois, and the Smith. Let's hope that an answer can be found soon, and that it's an answer we can do something about. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Those lucky fishermen who have been catching steelhead for the past two weeks have done a good job of keeping it a secret. All those fishermen who had a poor season can try to content themselves with the fact that plenty of fish got past and might live to come back next year bigger and stronger.

Calif. -HIPD- McLane High School track coach Jack Wilcox thinks that a preuy senior may challenge Wilma Rudolph for the title of world s speediest female. Seventeen -year -old Carol Smith was clocked in 6.2 sec onds for the 50-yard dash dur ing an interelass meet Thurs day. She made the mark des pite tripping slightly towards the .end of the race. Carol also ran the 75-yard distance In 8.7 seconds, Wilcox, former Fresno State miler, said Carol ran an un official 5.9 seconds in practice last week. He said the five foot, 120 pound senior, who came to McLane this year, has been running in competition for more than three years in women s track meets through. out the state and winning most of the time. Compare Favorably Carol's times for the 50 compare favorably to those of Miss Rudolph, who won three gold medals in the 1960 Olym pics. She has run the distance in six seconds flat indoors. Coach Wilcox says of his prize protege, "Carol is very fast out of the blocks and has a good lift. She also has good wind, which I guess she gets somewhat from playing bag pipes in the school's High lander musical unit." Carol, the daughter of a Fresno elementary school principal, plans to enter La Verne College, in Southern California this fall.
