Newspaper Page TextTonight Will Be Biggest Challenge Says Terry Baker Louisville, Ky. - (UPD - Life has been one athletic chal lenge on top of another for Heisman award winner Terry Baker of Oregon State, but he readily acknowledged that the biggest one is coming up tonight. i Baker, floor general of Ore gon State's basketball team, leads the Beavers against Cincinnati, the nation's top ranked quintet, in the semi finals of the National Colleg iate Athletic association (NCAA) championship in 18,000 seat Freedom Hall here tonight. "We've been looking for ward to this one for a long time," the tall football Ail American said upon the Beavers' arrival here Wednes day night. "I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't welcome the challenge of playing the country's top ranked team." The Beavers made a bee line for Bellarmine college gym after disembarking from their charter airliner. They changed quickly into practice uniforms and went through a half-hour . drill empasizing work against Cincinnati's re doubtable all-court press. , An Oregon sportswriter, noticing Baker shouting com mands to his teammates, com mented to coach Slats Gill, "I've never noticed Terry talking it up like this." : An obviously pleased Gill agreed and said, "We've been trying to get Terry to be our holler guy. He's a quiet one by nature, the kind who leads by example rather than by words. Look at the way he takes charge out there set ting up our plays. We couldn't do without him." Fans at the University of Kentucky Invitational last December marveled at Baker's ability to switch to basketball just six days after he had sparked Oregon State to a 6-0 football triumph over Villanova in the Liberty Bowl at Philadelphia. Asked about this the self possessed athlete explained, "It's a lot easier to adjust to basketball when you play quarterback In football be cause you don't take nearly aa many knocks. Besides, I'm a senior, so I've had plenty of experience adapting to dif ferent sports."

(UPI) , Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss There was a recent meeting between representatives of the game commission and rep resentatives of the bureau of land management that con cerned itslef with the inter state blacktail deer herds that migrate between Cali fornia and Oregon. Also pres ent were representatives of the California Fish and Game Commission and the Weyer hauser corporation. LOW FAWN CROP The meeting was called at the request of the game com' mission because fawn produc tion has dropped for the past three years and is down to about 50 fawns per 100 does This is the lowest ratio in western Oregon and is below the norm of about 70 fawns per 100 does. The deer herds most affected by this prob lem are the Kcno herd and the Pokegama herd. Both herds have their summer range in Oregon but winter along the slate border with the Pokegama herd almost en tirely in California. These deer are hunted in the Green Springs and Keno units dur ing the fall hunting season. HOW TO The game commission is asking for three poison bait stations in the area as a par tial solution to the problem. It believes that the evidence of too many coyotes is the reason for fewer fawns. The poison bait stations, it is hop ed, will cut the coyote pop ulation down to normal size. It should be remembered that several yean ago the mice in Oregon hit a peak cycle and were quite a prob lem in the Klamath Falls area. It seems that the coy ote population grew with the rodent increase but now that the rodent population is down to a low cycle the coyotes have not decreased as well and are left with a shortage in food supply. Although deer do not normally constitute a large part of coyote meals, the lack of balance noted above has changed this to the extent that the game com mission believed that the coyotes are taking too many fawns in the Green Springs and Keno area. PROBLEM The meeting soon brought out that there was a problem existing between the game management people and the timber management people. The game management peo ple wanted to bring wildlife populations into a more nor mal balance by poisoning an apparent surplus of coyotes, but the timber management people were concerned that cutting down on coyote num bers would increase popula tion of rodents and deer which would make reforestation more difficult. Since more deer would cat more young trees, it had to be decided whether reforestation was more important than a high ; population of deer. CONFLICT Oregon hunters to the con trary, Weyerhauter foreitors claim that there are more deer per acre in the Green Springs wintering area than, they have ever seen. They lost plantation of young trees east of Agate Flat in the Fox Lake Burn and claim that the planting was wiped out .by browsing deer. The BLIf people alto have refor I estation problems caused by . MEDFOHD 4. t . - -f ft ' Z L-t a high deer population and wanted a complete airing of the problem and the conflict of economic interests. This was felt to be necessary be cause the bait stations would be placed on federal land but would affect a greater pro portion of private forest land in that area. AGREEMENT After a great deal of dis cussion by all parties con cerned it was decided to try the bait stations and see what affect they would have on the problem of low fawn produc tion. The timber management people are concerned over damage problems caused by browsing deer, but they also realize that they must ac cept this as a constant fac tor in limber management. The deer constitute a part of our natural resources and play a big part in present multiple-use concepts. The conflict of responsibilities be tween limber management people and game management people points out the fact that there are very few simple problems and fewer simple answers that satisfy the whole problem. THE ANGLER'S LOG Although there are few who believe in the amount of available fishing during the month of March, the deciding factor in this fishing is the weather. The small runs of steelhead that still remain at river mouths along the Ore gon coast are dependent upon freshets before they will en ter the rivers and become le-1 gal prey to those who can't give up so long as there is , any water open for steelhead fishing. Chetco River - The river is low and the fish are wary. I Almost all of the fish are ' downstreamcrs and poor ta- j blc fare. Fresh fish should I be in on the first rain that raises the river. Let's hope that it comes before the end of the month. . ; Klamath River - The re-1 sort owners along the river ' claim that the fishing is as good or better than the fall fishing. This means there is a major run of late fish Hint most fishermen weren't too t aware of. The fishing really ! didn't develop until reports brought in fishermen and they all caught fish. The hottest spot was the Fort Goff-Seiad 1 Valley area where lure fisher men took good steelhead out of the fust waler. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Salmon season officially opens on the Rogue river on ', the 23rd of March. Reports of fish in the river indicate the first fish may be as far up as Rainey Falls already . . . The indications nlcn ar. i that this will be a good year in terms of numbers. Let s hope a number will be for us. GOOD LUCK!

MEDFORD, Rodriguez Decisions Griffith; Ramos, Cruz Win; Moore Hurt Los Angeles -IUP1I- Boxing has three new world cham pions today and one ex-champion, Davey Moore, in a hos pital with head injuries that threaten his life. That's the harvest from the first triple-hitter fight show in a quarter century-a show in which Cubans Luis Rod riguez and Sugar Ramos be came champions, along with Roberto Cruz of the Philip pines. It was 23-year-old Urtimino Sugar Ramos, a Cuban exile, who wrested the world feath erweight 126 -pound crown from 29-year-old Moore of Co lumbus, Ohio, on the 10th round knockout that sent Davey to White Memorial Hos pital. Moore's Chances "Poor" There Dr. Phillip Vogcl, a staff neurosurgeon, examined Moore and said "he is in a deep coma and his chances of living are poor." That statement was made after a throat operation trach eotomy had been performed to assist the unconscious box er's breathing. Whether a brain operation will be necessary or of any use, the physicians at the hos pital were not certain. ' The Ramos-Moore fight was staged shortly after the star title bout in which Cuban Rodriguez, 26, took the wel terweight 147-pound title from slightly favored Emile Grif fith of New York on a unani mous 15-round decision before a crowd of 26,142 paying fans at the Dodgers Baseball Sta dium. Won Earlier Fight Griffith had won a split 10 round decision over Rodriguez in a nontitle bout in 1960. After the Ramos - Moora bout, 21-year-old Cruz of the Philippines won the vacant world junior welterweight 140-pound title by knocking out Raymundo Battling Tor res of Mexico at 2:07 of the first round. Cruz, a 3-1 underdog, cap tured the . title left vacant when Italy's Duilio Loi retired early this year. Now, Cruz Kasaissssxaasiaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssassaaas-ia iiiaaaaaastaaaa ill llm,m.nmk)m.
