Medford beat the Grizzlies 76 to 41 and 71 to 49 and Ashland nosed the Black Tornado 64 to 62. Crater tipped the Pelicans 59 to 57 in overtime and 64 to 58. Klamath took one fray 69 to 63. Wait For Whistle Grants Pass-Ashland rival ry has seen the Climate city club beat the Bruins 67 to 39 and 61 to 55. Mcdford's aggregation had a light drill yesterday and Coach Frank Roelandt said that the Tornado "should be ready." He declared, "It is just a matter of waiting for the whistle to blow." Probable starters are Rich Benner, Jim Hill, Jack Forde, Larry Vow ell and Dan Miles. Teams in this league main tain "they're all tough" this year. But, Coach Lloyd Hof- finc's Crater Comets, making their strongest showing in the school's hoop history in the circuit, figure they have it toughest this week end. They catch Medford on its upward swing and Klamath fighting to stop a losing streak, the first setback of which was in fllctcd by the Comets. And, its two nights of battle against overall superior height. With Mcdford's Rich Benner now on full-lime duty, the Tornado looks to be a tougher challenge. Klamath Falls is reported at full strength for the first time of the campaign. The Pels chalked up their losses to Grants Puss and Medford last week, at least in part, to sick ness and injury. The Comets have had Lou Alvarez ailing this week from infection resulting from a floor burn but he is expected to be in the opening lineup along with Pat Pepper, Mike Glincs, Howard Tomlinson and Paul Bransom. Eyes on GP Klamath mentor Al Keck on Saturday may open with Don Piper, Fred Kclley, Wayne Chamberland, Grover Dahn and Dick Scott or Hal Holman.

FREE BOWLING LADIES INSTRUCTION GLASSES 4 LESSONS -Tues. thru Fri. ROXY ANN BOWLING LANES 2375 Sooth Pacific Hwy. Phone 772-7171 Woods, Water, Wildlife By Honk DeVott Herd composition studies to determine the ratio of bucks, does and fawns on the big game ranges of the state were completed recently, according to Phil Schneider, state game director. THE COUNT Classification showed an average of 21 bucks and 65 fawns ptr 100 dots on in null deer ranges and 42 bucks and 69 fawns per 100 dees on the blacktail ranges. This compares favorably with the 22 bucks and 64 fawns per 100 dots on the mule deer ranges in 1062 and the 35 bucks and 66 fawns per 100 does en the blacktail ranges in 1962. Schneider said that game biologists in their travels on big game ranges observed a total of 22,400 deer compared to 23,655 deer the previous year. About 1,500 less mule deer were observed during the classification inventories, while 255 more blacktail deer were tallied than the previous year. VARIATIONS Schneider pointed out that there were some discrepancies in fawn production on adja cent mule deer ranges of east ern Oregon. As an example, he explained, the Fort Rock unit tallied 77 fawns per 100 does. On the adjoining Paulina range fawn production had dropped U) 45 per 100 does. Last year the Paulina unit averaged 62 fawns per 100 does. Another example was in southeastern Oregon where the Sleens mountain unit classification gave a very low 31 fawn per 100 does, while on the adjacent Warner unit production averaged 81 fawns per 100 does. A wide differ ence in buck-doe ratios was also noted on two adjacent ranges, Fort Rock data indi cated 52 bucks per 100 does, while the Silver Lake unit sampled 28 bucks per 100 does. Some northeastern Ore gon units displayed decreased fawn production, reflecting the previous poor wintering conditions on these ranges. However, the northeastern region average of 71 fawns per 100 does compares favor ably with last year's ratio of 73 fawns per 100 does. BY REGIONS Although fluctuations oc curred on all ranges, regional herd composition parallels that of last year. In the black tail ranges of the northwest the average tor the region was 51 bucks and 67 fawns per 100 does compared to 41 and 74 the previous year. Buck-doe and fawn-doe ratios in the southwest region stood at 31 bucks and 72 fawns com pared to 31 and 64 in 1962. Down through the central region of the stale, mule deer herd composition was 22 bucks and 59 fawns per 100 does compared to 23 and 65 in 1962. Northeastern Oregon showed 19 bucks and 71 , fawns per 100 does compared to 22 and 73 the previous year. In the southeast the ratio stood at 21 bucks and 65 fawns compared to 22 and 64 last year. LAST WORD Biologists report that big game are wintering well on most game ranges. The ani mals remain widely scattered from low to high elevations as a result of the open winter. Food supplies remain good and deer and elk appear to be in good physical condition for this time of year.

THE ANGLER'S LOG The weatherman isn't too optimistic about the week end, and keeps muttering threats of rain on Saturday. This is the last chance for those who have only the week end to fish, so it would seem the neighborly thing if every one would wear their sun shine suits instead of rain suits. Applfgate River There are re ports of fish being caught here and there, but there doesn't seem to be much better than here. Cluster eggs are doing most of the busi ness. Chetco River Almost all of the fish being caught are spawied out and heading downstream. It Isn't too difficult to catch a fish, but who wants a long, skinny, taste less snake that hasn't any fight lenr Illinois River A few fish are : being taken near the deadline at j Ponieroy dam. but the luck down- I river is hardly mentionabie.

Dodge truck sales for 1962 climbed a sharp 45.5, at almost double the rate of our nearest competitor. And for the last quarter of '62 they rose even more impressively-67.6 over the same period of 1961. We figure that Dodge truck sales are going up, Up, UP because more and mere people are learning that Dodge Builds Tough Trucks, priced lower than most of the competition, In line with the rest!
