Anglers Asked To Watch for Marked Fish Portland - As in past years, Oregon anglers are urged to be on the lookout this winter for marked steelhead heading into Oregon's coastal streams, and are requested to report any marked fish taken to the Oregon game commission. Alsea, Wilson and Sandy river steelhead anglers are advised to be especially alert, since these streams are under going special .study by the commission. Anglers will recognize marked fish since one or more of the fins will be missing. The commission needs to know where such fish are caught, what day, and the approximate size and weight of the fish. Reports may be forwarded to the game com mission's Portland office, any of the regional offices, or reported to any commission personnel. Information gath ered from such studies is in valuable in evaluating the contributions of hatcheries to the various stream systems. It is important for anglers to correctly name the missing fins. A fin-clipping code is in volved which enables biolo gists of the game commission to tell in what year and what waters the fish was originally released. Mayor Credited For Saying of Gotham Bowl New York - IPIt - A last ditch move by Mayor Robert F.

The mayor called Stanford and assured him that $30,000 in expense money would be put in escrow at the Bankers Trust company here today. In Miami, Athletic Direc tor Jack Harding repeated "the game is on" and said the Hurricanes would leave for New York by airplane today. The Nebraska team is due to leave Lincoln, Neb., Friday and plans In work out at Yun kee Stadium shortly afler ar rival.

Coach Eldon Durham said that the Pirates are drilling at moving the ball in for shots, working on their fast break and spending time on full court pressing. There has been a lot of rebound work. Phoenix entertains Glide on Friday and. goes to Brookings on Saturday. There will be junior varsity play each night. Last week end Phoenix beat Brookings 49 to 42 but bowed to Glide 44 to 28. Granby Turns Out The Pirate squad was bol stered Monday when Jon Granby reported. Last season he played junior varsity ball and got some varsity experi ence. Granby, a 190-pound 8- footer, will put some beef in the lineup. He could add tire power. For at the end of the slate last season he was hit ting the hoop well. And, re ported Durham, "He makes us quicker." Granby could be a starter this week at a forward. This move would put Dave John son back to center. John Bar ker could be at the other for ward with Rick Bolz and Ron Williams at guards. Jim Cons bruck is expected to alternate with the two guards. Mud Hampers Rogue Fishing Portland (UP1I - The weekly report on hunting and fishing conditions prepared by the state game commission: Southwest: Umpqua river has been good for steelhead between Elklon and Scotts burg; Smith river fair; Co quille river, especially south fork, good for steelhead; mud has hampered middle and lower Rogue. 1078 Court . . 0 . f ' fAvanti 'Lark 'Hawk 'Cruiser 'Daytona 1 U' A Kennedy Plea to AAU, NCAA Results in More Bickering Washington-flJPU-A plea by President Kennedy to the na tion's amateur sports leaders to end their bickering today produced more bickering. The Chief Executive sug gested at his press conference Wednesday that the marathon dispute between the Ama teur Athletic union (AAU) and the National Collegiate Athletic association (NCAA) for the control of amateur athletics be submitted to an arbitration panel 1mm e diately. "If they don't, we won't have an Olympic team in SF Giants Already in Good Shape By HAL WOOD San Francisco - IUPII - Only 12 more days until Christmas - and only about 70 until the opening of spring training for the baseball boys, believe it or not. In fact, some of the Nation al league champion San Fran cisco Giants already are in pretty good shape for tne 196:1 campaign. Tiger Selected Fighter of Year New York - IUPII.- World middleweight champion Dick Tiger of Nigeria and New York's Dr. Marvin (Mai) Ste vens of football fame are the recipients today of boxing's highest honors, voted them by the World Boxing Writers' association. Tiger, 33, gels the Edward J. Neil award for "fighter of the year" because of 1962 ring achievements that included the capture of Gene Fullmer's 160-pound title. Dick Is the first African to win the award. Stevens, 60, gets the James J. Walker plaque for long and meritorious service to boxing, including the past 10 years as chairman of New York state's General Medical Advi s o r y Board for Boxing. m HOME FOR 'Fabulous New Wagon Aire JAY ALLEN Street 1964," Kennedy said The AAU, through its exec utive director, was the first to answer the President's plea. "We share the same con cern as the President does about weakening our Olym pic team," said Col. Donald F. Hull. The AAU leader then chal lenged Kennedy's statement that the disputants are "put ting their own interests above those of the athletes" in their controversy. "The fact is we have a re sponsibility to live up to the Mike McCormick. (or in stance, is Just back from pitching in the winter instruc tional league in Arizona. Mike had something go wrong with his flipper during the pennant campaign and went down to straighten things out. The grizzled young vetenn (aged 24) of nearly seven years in the majors figures he ironed out his problems. And to make sure he's going to keep pitching every day until spring camp opens. Dark Golfing Willie Mays, of course, doesn't have any such prob lems. Right now Willie is spending his spare moments showing up at charity affairs to help the needy and under privileged. He also is busy getting ready to move Into his new $85,000 home, which is pretty much a full-time Job. Willie will start training by playing basketball with the neighborhood boys after the first of the year. The Giants' other Willie, McCovey, is working as a toy salesman - and probably has bunions on his feet from all that walking. Manager Alvin Dark Is get ting ready for the long spring grind, too - by playing golf nearly every day.

"We must comply with these established rules because any substerfuge or attempt to get around them in some way would not be a credit to the athletes involved or to our country." NCAA Favort Arbitration NCAA and U.S. Olympic officials indicated they were in favor of arbitration by hailing the President's state ment. Walter Byers, executive di rector of the NCAA, said, "all port and farm director Carl Hubbcll. Chuck Hiller is working for the sheriff's office in his home at McHcnry, 111.; and Orlando Cepeda is taking his first rest in years by not playing base ball this winter in Puerto Rico. Commuters Stu Miller, the little relief ace, is selling insurance and hoping that he'll have a bet ter baseball year in 1963 than he did in 1962 - although he has to admit that, financially, 1962 wasn't bad at all. The Alou brothers, Matty and Felipe, are wintering at their homes in Santo Domin go, Dominican Republic; and pitcher Jack Sanford will have to come all the way from his farm in Prospect ville, Pa., when he reports to the Giants' camp in Arizona. Not loo many of the Giants have decided to make the San Francisco Bay area their per manent home. Dark, McCor mick, Miller, Mays, McCovey and Davenport all live in the area - although Mays and McCovey are the only ones living inside the city limits. They, a p p a r ently, have more of a sense of security than the boys who commute to their homes across the land every spring and again every fall. STUDEBAKER and Full Line of Studebaker and Fully Equipped Service Medford, Oregon of us . . . have been deeply disappointed by the AAU's re jection of the coalition agree ment which was developed at a meeting in New York City; Nov. 12-13." Byers added that "the jection of these prin ciples by the AAU marks the second consecutive occasion within a five-week period that the AAU has repudiated the principles of agreement worked out by its own nego tiation committees." Said Kenneth L. (Tug) WIN son, president of the U.S. Olympic committee: "I heart ily agree with the President s statement that all efforts must be made to settle tha organizational disputes in order that the United States will be represented by its strongest possible Olympia team." Wanted Differences Settled At the New York meetings last month, Wilson called to gether the AAU and NCAA officials to settle their differ ences, which involve mainly the control of track and field athletes and their participa tion in meets, including tha Olympics. With Attorney General Robert Kennedy acting as an unofficial mediator, the war ring groups approved the for mation of a coalition, which would have called a halt to their bickering at least until the end of the 1964 Olympics. However, before the coali tion was ratified, the AAU instituted action barring cer tain runners who competed In non-AAU meets, although leaving the door open for them to appeal. This served to reopen tha "war," and undoubtedly prompted the President's statement Wednesday. "a? Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS 727 W. McAndcewi PHONI 773-4575 Studebaker CORPORATION Parts!
