Tonight 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."
Baker may be the team's
chief playmaker but that
hasn't stopped him from scor

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

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!

MAIL TRIBUNE. 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
