2 B FRIDAY. Rivals Tonight at Centra! Central Point - "We're at ready as we can get." So declared Coach Keith Johnson on the eve of the Crater high Cornet's football fracas with the No. 1 rated team in the state. The unranked Central Pointers engage Medford at the Crater stadium here at 8 o'clock tonight. It will be the Southern Oregon conference opener for both schools. Med ford's record and its rating make it the favored team. But, one of natures ele ments, known as rain, could throw its influence on the game. A weather bureau re port late this morning said there is good chance rain will not fall while the hassle is going on. However, showers this afternoon could wet the field some more. Turf on the Comet grid iron is in fine shape. Two games slated on the field this week were switched to keep it so. But it is expected to be soaked and soggy from the rains, and could hold the rival offenses from operating at full efficiency. Work on Roof Meanwhile, contractor John Robison informed Don Mill er, Crater high athletic di rector, that he would have every available man on the job today to have the roof of the new, 2,000 seat grand stand ready for the game. "We hope the kids are up high and we do a good job," said Johnson of his Comets. Crater gridders did not go on the practice field yesterday. They donned their game suits without pads and had a chalk talk, going over offenses and defenses. At Medford Coach Fred Spicgelbcrg put his Torna does through a short drill which was "enjoyed" In a sen of mud. The mentor, who comment ed that the Tornado is "ex pecting a good hard football gam e," reported halfback Mike Barnes back In school after being out because of illness. He said that Barnes likely will be a starter. Guard Bill Buettner Is back after suffering an ankle sprain before the South Salem till. Another guard, Dean Ev ernham went homo from Bchool yesterday because ol illness. Vowoll Back Joining tile Tornado this week was Larry Vowcll, who rnoved back to Medford after starling school this fall at San Rafael, Calif. He reenter ed school hero Monday.

Point Eagle Point To Oppose SH Trojans Eagle Point Prepared to play in snow and cold, if need be, a delegation of Eagle Point high football players 30 strong headed for Kla math Falls today. The Eagles will encounter Sacred Heart in a Rogue league game tonight. Figuring that the EP of fense has needed to work the most, that's been the emphasis of Coach-Vern Steward this week. Drill has been on of fense almost exclusively. In order to improve the attack and compensate for absence of a couple of regulars, the men tor has tried some changes in personnel. It's possible he'll have as many as seven sophomores on tne starting offensive team. Defense has shown its mettle by allowing but one touchdown from scrimmage. One other was tallied on an intercepted pass. Bonner Improved Tackle Bob Bonner has been in California on family business and may or may not be on hand to play. Bill Hoefft, tackle and end, has had the flu and likely will sit out the game. Steward termed the 215-pound Bonner the most improved Eagle play er so far this year. He turned in outstanding work against Phoenix last week on both of fense and defense. Possible starters on offense for the Eagles are Charles Pomeroy and Dennis Murphy, ends; Earl Ford and Bill Ayres or Bonner, tackles; Dave Blair and Ed Hanscom or Jerry Moore, guards; Morgan Hiller, center; Dale Chamberlain or John Linder, wingback; Mike House, fullback; Bob Colpitts, tailback, and Bob Henderson, blocking back. Ford, Moore, Miller, Mur phy, Chamberlain, House and Colpitts are sophomores. Eaglo Point will rule the favorite and, if things go the Eagle way. Steward hopes to give some of his lesser experi enced men opportunity to play. KAOI.K POINT STATISTICS: Hushiiu Tc Yrris .

Dick Tiger's Camp Shows Optimism San Francisco - IUPII - Con fidence exuded from the camp of Dick Tiger today as he warmed Up for his WBA mid dleweight title bout next Tuesday against champion Gene Fullmer. Tiger boxed three rounds against Willie Turner Thurs day and connected with oc casional hooks to the head and rights to the body. "If Tiger can fight at 00 to 1)5 per cent of his effic iency, it should be enough to beat Fullmer," manager Jer sey Jones said. "We don't have any plan for Fullmer and he doesn't have one for ns. All we know about Gene is that he has two fists, two elbows nnd a head." Fullmer boxed four rounds against Kelly Burden and Juan Sanchez Thursday while working on his right upper cut and charging tactics.

OREGON siPdDimrs Crusaders, Chiefs Shift Game Site To Rogue River Field Time and place of the St. Mary's - Rogue River High school football game have been changed. Day will re main the same. The two schools will con. tend at 2 p.m. Saturday at Rogue River. This Rogue league encounter, neverthe less, will be considered a St. Mary's home engagement. St. Mary's season tickets will be good. Originally the fracas was set for tomorrow night at the Medford stadium. Switch was made as a measure of preser- Red Raiders Rest This Week End Ashland Southern Ore gon college's football team has a rest this week end as the result of an open date on the schedule. The next encounter for the Raiders will be against Eastern Oregon college on Fuller field Saturday at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 20. This will be homecoming for SOC and also the opening Oregon Collegiate conference game. EOC mentor Archie Duns- moor greeted the largest turn out in the school's history with 44 candidates. Among these were 18 returning letter- men to build around. The Mounts have a big offensive line and several young fast backs. Thus far in the season the Mountaineers have, been plagued with a little bad luck in getting the ball moving. In three outings the Eastern Ore gon squad has yet to win a ball game. In the initial con test, the Mounts dropped one to College of Idaho, 20-7. In their second contest, they were shut out by Whitman, 19-0. Eastern Oregon dropped their third encounter an Oregon Collegiate conference opener to Orsgon Tech last week, 19-7. The Mounts led 7-6 at the half in this contest. Southern Oregon has had It light this week. On Monday and Tuesday the Raiders did not workout on the field but were in the classroom watch ing movies. Raider mentor Al Akins remarked that after the season got going, "one could learn just as much in the classroom watching movies us out on the field banging heads." Akins is a firm be liever in studying the movies of past games with an oppo nent. No Major Injuries Although Eastern Oregon took three on the nose, the Raiders will not lake the boyj from La Graitde too lightly. Next week the Southern Ore gon squad will get in "three lough workouts" in prepara tion for the contest on Satur day. Today the Raiders were to have a light workout and view movies of previous en counters with the Motilities. The Raiders have no major injuries with the exception of a few pulled muscles due to the cold weather. Doug Ols'n has been hobbling around. He is suffering a bruised leg just above the knee, but will be ready for Eastern Oregon. For the Motilities, returning lettrrmnn Fred Sayre will probably do most of the quar terbacking for the squad. There were no losses at the end positions with Dennis Ol- jivcr, Lee Wick, Lynn Harris :and Larry Snook all reporting .back to camp in good shape. ! Eastern Oregon has several jbiij boys in the line with Bob (Showers, a tackle, weighing ; in at 230. Steve Straughan, an j other tackle, tips the scales at 235. Eastern has about eight I other "little" linemen hitting the scales at around 200 I pounds.

Its turf was hard hit in late summer by a fungus infesta tion. Use now, while it is still soaked by this week's heavy rains, would aggravate the condition of the field. St. Mary's homecoming has been postponed until a later date. SM Favored The Crusaders tomorrow will be out to protect and im prove upon an unbeaten 1962 record as they take on up and coming opposition. Because of its success so far this season, St. Mary's rules as favorite. But, Chieftain Coach Wayne Misener feels his charges defi nitely are on the upgrade. They gained confidence in their last two games and will be r e i n f o r c e d for the en counter. They could make the Crusaders battle for their lives. The Chiefs figure they won a moral victory last week al though being nosed by Hen ley B to 7. There are two comparisons that can be made of the Cru saders and the Chieftains. St. Mary's downed Sacred Heart 45 to 13 and RR topped the Trojans 25 to 0. Phoenix won from Rogue River 55 to 0 and SM trimmed Phoenix 20 to 7. Rogue River gridders have braved the wet every night this week. "We figure we might just as well get used to it," said Misener in anticipa tion of more wet weather on Saturday. The Chiefs have worked at handling a wet and slick ball. They've added a couple of new plays that they "might try out." Time has been evenly distributed be tween offense and defense. Palmerlon Back Misener likely will call upon sophomore Jim LeRoy to start at quarterback tonight but almost certai nto see duty is senior Frank Palmerton who has resumed contact work after being hobbled with an ankle injury. Backfieid re serve strength also will be provided by Dick Middleton, a fullback, who hurt his knee in preseason practice. He's back full time, has run at full speed in drills and has looked good in contact work. Shift in game site has caused SM Coach Bill Mc Kibbin to change his starting lineup plans. For homecoming he had contemplated startinu an all senior crew. Now, he'll likely call upon the regular crew. McKibbin Indicated that Steve Cook likely will fill the tackle spot of injured Mike Hutchinson and that Dave Young will be at the other tackle. Randy Corliss is the probable starter at the full back spot. Hutchinson suffered chest wounds in a hunting accident and could be out of the line up two more weeks. Possible starters are: ST.

Hfe5 Friday:' Saturday: Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVosi Enough is enough. A little dab of rain in the fall to settle the dust and reduce fire danger is the general weather order coming from most hunt ers and fishermen; but this storm is too much like living too close to flat rock. It Is most probable that even if man eventually controlled the weather to the extent of limiting the time and amount of rainfall there still would be enough disagreement so that some of us wouldn't be satisfied. SPAWNING LOSS The gauge at Gold Ray dam hat measured the liver flow at 11,000 cubic feet per second during this rain and it is a safe bet that the spawn ing beds of the spring Chinook salmon have had severe dam age done to them. According to the man who knows, any time lhe stream flow in the Rogue rises above She 8,000 cubic feet per second mark there is damage to the eggs in the spawning beds. It is estimated that the eggs have been in ihe gravel 30 days or less and are In the forma tive stage and most suscept ible io shock. On the basis of a 4-year cycle, 1966 will tell us just how much' dam age Is now being done. STEELHEAD? It is less safe but still a fairly secure bet that the fall steelhead fishing is going to be quite a bit less than spec tacular. All of the present high water is sure to bring In the fall run and scatter it over the whole river. With out the usual low flows that periodically block the run and cause It to concentrate, the rate of angler success will be low except for those who know the river well and are able to cover a lot of holding water. This is in addition to the penalty of a shorter sea son caused by the wait for fishable water. COOPERATION? The latest in man-made haz ards lo our migrating salmon and steelhead is the Grants Pass irrigation district's low ering of the pool behind Sav age Rapids dam without no tifying the game commission. Although this may not seem too important, it must be re membered that fish are con stantly using the fishways at the dam at this time. When the fishways are suddenly dried up there usually are sev eral fish in the process. The biologist managed to save 30 fish, but 25 salmon and steel head were lost because the irrigation district didn't think it mattered enough to notify anyone. UNFAIR TO WHOM? There has been some re cent comment on the early opening of the controlled area hunts that allow the tak ing of an extra deer for $5. There has been some mutter ing that the regular season hunters are beinj cheated by this system and that the game commission is up to something almost as bad as the doe sea son. The accusation is that the early hunters are spook ing the game to such an ex tent that the regular road hunters can't do anything but shoot at each other. It's a bad deal; shooting people doesn't tell as well. IT SAYS HERE The complainers fail to read the full story contained in the Idea of a controlled hunt on a S5 per head basis. Those areas that were opened before the regular season lo the controlled area permits were either within 400 yards of agriculture or were remote high mountain areas that aren't hunted enough. Since the game commission must issue many kill permits every year in areas where the deer threaten agricultural crops, it would seem sensible lo see if hunters will pay lo shoot deer that normally are shot by ;30 P.M. 7:45 P.M. 1:15 P.M. 5:45 P.M. Your Mail people who just want lo be rid of them. The high moun tain areas are hunted by very few hunters and have many deer dying of old age because ol a lack of predators. Why not open them lo hunters will ing lo pay extra for a chance at deer in areas that are snow bound early in the season. And besides, anyone who hunts within 400 yards of agriculture ought to know that It takes a lot of hunting to spoil that kind of hunting. WHO'S MAD? Undoubtedly there are over 500 hunters In Oregon who are mad at the game commis sion because they applied for a unit permit (doe tag), and haven't received any answer. This is a safe bet because the game commission has over 500 applications on file that were sent in by hunters who forgot to put return addresses on the applications. NO HUNTING The management area at White City will have a por tion closed lo hunting this year and hunters are caution ed lo be aware of ihe posted area. II will be that land in cluding the management buildings and the large pond next to the buildings on Wet stone creek. One of lhe rea sons for the closure U that hunters using that area have shown little regard for prop erty rights and have damaged buildings and equipment dur ing past hunting seasons. THE ANGLER'S LOG Anyone who feels healthy enough to brave the kind of weather we've been having and wants to go fishing in one of the lakes is welcome to try. The fis-hing should be fairly good if you can tell where the rain ends and the water begins. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER One good result of all the rain is that the winter steel head season ought lo start earlier and provide big fish fishing for lhe serious angler, wherever he is. 726,100 Employed in State in September Salem -IUPII- State employ ment Commissioner David H. Cameron said Thursday that 728,100 persons had jobs in Oregon lasl month, the highest September total on record. The total, however, was down 25,700 jobs from August - a seasonal decline. Unemployment in Septem ber totaled 25,000. The rate was 5.3 per cent compared to the national average of 5.8. The biggest layoff from August to September was in agricultural employment -31,400 fewer jobs. NEW SAVINGS RECORD Washington -IUPII- Ameri cans saved $7.6 billion in cash in April, May and June, a record high for any second quarter. Nearly three-fourths of the savings total went into thrift accounts at commercial banks and savings and loan asociations, the government said Thursday. Commercial banks have been receiving an especially heavy inflow of savings deposits since they raised interest rates at the be ginning of the year. . . adv. W. T. Clark, 1-1 . ;.. 1.1 J?
