Reclamation Bureau Man
To Address Waltonians

Idaho, will address the Jack-;
son County chapter of the;
Izaak Walton league on Mon
day evening, Dec. 10.

lion for Region of the Bu
reau of Reclamation. He will

particularly Interested In
learning what Torkeison has
to say which is important to
Oregon.
Waltonians pointed out that
changes in the Coordination
Act on recreation, fish and
game, which became iaw in
late J958 have been spoken of
as the most progressive con
servation legislation passed in
the last 23 years. The changes
made it possible for the ATmy
Corps of Engineers to propose
the Rogue river basin project.
It is felt that the changes
have required many altera
tions in bureau policies. Jack-1
son chapter of the Izaak Wai- j
ton league often has found fait
with bureau policies and i
many of its members want to
know what effect the present
Coordination Act has had.
Centra! Point "We are
trying to get some board
strength and still keep our!
quickness." .
That is the report of Lloyd
Koffine, Crater High school
basketball coach, as the Com
ets looked to their season
openers.
Crater goes to Eagle Point
on Kriday night and to Ml.
Shasta, Catif., on Saturday.
The Comets again have a
lack of height this season but
intend to offset it with thetr
quality of quickness.
Yesterday was scrimmage
day for the Comets. Hoffine
said he used some eight play
ers in combinations in work
to determine which five-man
crew might get first caii on
Friday night. The eight were
reduced to seven when vet
eran Louie Alvarcr rehurt
his back. He sprained it in a
recent practice.
Rough on Edges
Whether Alvarez will be
able to go this week end like
ly won't be known until Fri
day. Hoffine has indicated
that he wilt use the little
guard sparingly in preconfer
ence -with the hope of having
him ready for games which
count.
The Cornel coach reported
his club still pretty rough on
the edges. He said lhat Jhe
Comets are just trying to get
things going and will try to
win a couple this week end,
hoping to get a break or two.
Hoffine reported thai a cou
ple of the non-lettermen have
made themselves felt in drills.
They are Howard Tomiinson
and Neil Riverburg.
In Eagle Point the Comets
will meet an old rival al
