MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1962 B 5 MEDFOnig&,TRIBUNK Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Basketball Season Will Open Tonight Every day that one must look at the muddy mess that is Bear creek is a reminder that here is a chance to do something meaningful. Rather than having a filthy stream that is tolerated because it carries irrigation water for crops, there is the possibility of creating a stream that can be fished all summer, used as a picnic area along its banks, and perhaps used as a favo rite swimming hole by some of the younger generations. All that is required is to give it some water for its entire length and an enforcement of rules that would keep it clean. FILTHY WATER Bear axeek during the sum mer is a picture of everything that can go wrong with a stream. The only water be tween its banks below Talent, and its questionable where and how the banks exist, is water for the Rogue Valley Irrigation district at the Jack son street diversion dam in Medford. Below the dam there is iorriw dampness, a great deal of stinking residue from sewage and other pollu , tants, and a tangle of weeds that thrive on this combina tion. This situation doesn't get much better until you get above Ashland. A FISHERY? The fish that now exist in Bear creek are the few steel head that come in on the high waters of late winter and early spring, the small trout that manage to live in the headwaters, those trout that migrate downstrear.. each year in order to become steel head, and the chubs and carp that thrive on dirty, warm, polluted water the year round. There is some fishing in the spring and early sum mer for trout and spawned out steelhcad. Much of the early fishing is illegal be cause it is before the season opens, but it is the only time there are edible fish to be had. RIPARIAN BEAUTY? The banks of the creek are anything but beautiful. After a century of misuse and ne glect there is difficulty in finding anything resembling what the stream banks were at one time. The jungles of Bear creek in the city limits of Medford harbor hobos or small boys intent on various forms of imaginary mayhem. At times there are older youngsters intent on real forms of mayhem. The un sightly mess created by this mBss of weeds is a monument to the unconcern of the com munity, s A CONCRETE CONDITION And now a newer monu ment to go somewhere in a hurry has been built on the banks of this ruined stream. A freeway to somewhere now will be the viewing stand for those who want to see what Southern Oregon is like. Per haps Bear creek will create a proper impression for those who will take the time to look. But then this will de pend on what they look for. WATER An essential need of this problem is a steady flow of water that will help the creek to cleanse itself. To try to beautify the stream banks will be of little use if there is no water in the stream. There is water available if we are willing to do something about getting it. and of course this brings us to that which is the crux of all our problems who wants it as a problem? Who is going to be willing to pay in time, energy, or money for values that have been of no consequence in the past? Do enough of us want a pretty stream wandering through our community? Are we willing to pay the price? THE TIME IS TOW Now is when there is space for the storage of water that wil lchange the face of the val ley. Let's use some to heal the scar that is most obvious to the viewer. THE ANGLER'S LOG I suppose it would be a dull life if the weather ever became so controlled that we knew EXACTLY when the steelhead were coming. It's a fairly sure bet that tempera ture is the key to when a run of fish starts the race to spawning gravel, but it's a key that most of us haven't found with any regularity. Maybe it's because Saturday and Sunday aren't the best days for looking. chelco River Still waiting for news bs to when the winter run is starting in. This is the river where they are bis and wild. Illinois River Just salmon so far. The logging up one of the forks is making it tougher lo fish good water. Lots of mud is coming down on days the loggers work. Complain io the Oregon Slate Sanitary authority. They can stop it. Klamath River Is running bank full all the time. There will he no more low water as in the past, and fishermen will have to learn to fish this type of water. Last week end it was reported that the big run was about SO miles below Happy Camp. Since the rain there's no telling where it is now. Rogue River will he fishahle unless the mud slays in Bear creek. This is caused by the high way construction by Talent and Ashland Complain to the Oregon Sanitary authority. They can stop River Reports of fair fishing during the middle of the week. The winter run is starling in and now It's Just a matter of catching the water just right. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Someday there will be more businessmen who won't believe that the taxes they pay give them the right to pollute and destroy the pure air, clean water, and quiet forests we enjoy.

Put This In The Christmas Stocking ONLY 98 With This Ad OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY Till 9 United Press International Basketball players com mence firing in the 1962-63 season tonight and the Pa cific Coast appears ti be load ed with top-flight teams. USC's John Rudoinetkin has departed, but just about every other shooting star in the Western cage firmament is back this year in addition to a group of standout sophs. Oregon State, led by the awefome 7-foot' Mel Counts, and Seattle, with a pro-style guard combination in Eddie Miles and the much-r'iscussed soph Charley Williams, have enough class to go all the way this year. Both teams are idle this week end, but collide in their opener Dec. 7. Big Six co-favorites Stan ford and UCLA find almost their complete teams back. Stanford opens its season Saturday night when it hosts St. Mary's in a battle featur ing two of the West's best, Indian center Tom Dose and the Gaels' Steve Gray. UCLA hosts Denver and Santa Clara. USC will take on the invaders in reverse order. The West Coast Athletic conference is figured a dog fight among Santa Clara, USF and Pepperdine. The Dons rate as the dark horse of the Coast and have their best squad since the golden days under Phil Wool pert. All-league Ed Thomas is back after a year layoff and drum-beaters are out on be half of 6-foot-8 soph Oliver Johnson who cracked Bill Russel's frosh scoring marks last year. USF faces breathers Olym pic Club and Cal Poly this week end. The defending champion Waves, with most of their club back, are at San Fer nando State tonight. Elsewhere in the nation college basketball dribbles its way back into the national sports picture with a big bounce this week end as in tersections! clashes highlight Friday night's program and the five top-ranked teams swing Into action the follow ing day. Illinois, ranked 13th in the preseason balloting of the United Press International board of coaches, heads the lineup of schools who offici ally inausurate the 1962-63 season Friday when it hosts Butler. The other top matches scheduled for tonight are in dicative of the interpeclional games which will dominate the first few weeks of the campaign. In these openers Oregon is at home to Brigham Young, Denver is at UCLA and Georgia Tech engages Rice at, Atlanta. Other lead ing games include Washing ton State-Colorado St. U.; Mi. ami (Fla.)-Florida and South ern California-Santa Clara. Cincinnati, winner of the NCAA championship the last two seasons and currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, opens at home against De- Pauw (Ind.) Saturday; second- ranked Kentucky hosts Vir ginia Tech; West Virginia, rated fourth, is at home against the Citadel and fifth ranked Loyola of Chicago hosts Christian Brothers The battle for national hon ors should prove a bit more competitive this season after Ohio State's domination of the past two years. The Buck eyes have lost "player of the year" Jerry Lucas as well as John Havlicek and Mel Now ell, and will have a tough enough time just trying to keep pace with the other Big 10 teams It's Back To One All-Star Contest By NORMAN MILLER New York (UPll Bowing to public pressure, major league player representatives return ed to the old system of one All-Star game a season Thurs day in a move that amounted to a clear-cut victory for the club owners. The vote by the players to go back to one All-Star game beginning with the 1963 sea son came as the owners gath ered here for the start of the two-day major league meet ings. "We didn't want to buck the press and the public by pushing two All-Star games down their throats any long er," explained Pittsburgh pitcher Bob Friend, who also serves as the National league player representative. "We originally put in the two games only to meet our pension fund payments and now then we are able lo meet the obligations another way, we are perfectly happy with the compromise. Scrapping the second All- Star game will cost the play ers approximately $50,000 each year. , To Receive 95 Per Cent Under the two-game ar rangement, the players re ceived 60 per cent of the All Star receipts. The owners' central fund got 35 per cent and the office of baseball Commissioner Ford Frick 5 per cent. Now the players will re ceive 95 per cent of the re ceipts from the one game played each year. Judge Robert Cannon, the players' legal representative, said the players were "happy" with the compromise. Frick said the owners were even happier inasmuch as they showed little enthusiasm for two All-Star games ever since the inception of the practice in 1959. American Association Dissolved; Teams Added To International, PCL By NORMAN MILLER , Rochester, N Y. -UTO- The American Association was dis solved Thursday when its five remaining franchises were disbursed among the Inter national and Pacific Coast leagues to form the 10-team Triple A circuits. Denver, Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth were add ed to the Pacific Coast league and Indianapolis and Little Rock joined the International league. The decision ended a dead lock which had existed for the last two days and had necessitated repeated meet ings among officials of all three leagues into the early hours of this morning. Following the decision, the minor league convention voted on the new player de velopment program and recommendations for changes in the bonus rule before offi cially adjourning. George Trautman, presi dent of the National Associa tion, made the official an nouncement which formally dissolved the 62 - year old American Association. Dewey Soriano, president of the Pacific Coast league, said "this is the solution to the immediate problem, but there are still several details to be worked out." Tommy Richardson, presi dent of the International league, said his circuit "never was opposed to expansion, but we had problems to Iron nut, problems of the adder', ex pense we would have to assume. "When the major leagues assured us they would absorb any addition ll expense in the costs of traveling, we agreed to add the two new clubs." Richardson said the added costs could amount to $7,000 for each club during the course of the season. Richardson stressed t h e major leagues had been "ex tremely cooperative" in bring ing about the realignment of the Triple A leagues.
