Fanfare Medford high has been fair ly lucky in the past so far as travel for sports playoffs has interferred with school work. But, the full impact of the con flict between school and trav el school classes could hit the Black Tornado this week. The Tornado baseballers left yesterday morning for their game this evening at Pendle ton in the state Class A-l semifinals. If they win to night, they'll play on Thurs day afternoon and evening in the state final at Portland and not return to Medford until Friday. There are 11 seniors on the diamond squad and fin al exams for seniors begin to day. WORKS A PROBLEM Originally planned for Saturday, June 1, depending on availability of Mullnomah stadium for that date, the Class A-l, A-2 and B baseball title tripleheader was moved to Thursday, Memorial day, because the stadium was not available for Saturday. Such a jammed up playoff schedule as encountered this spring is no handicap for schools of the metropolitan area but it does work a prob lem for those who have to travel long distances. We don't know whether the avail ability of other facilities were looked into so that the games could be on Saturday. But, it seems that other fields could be available, particularly if the games were played singly rather than as a triplebill. And, there isn't any absolute need to keep the champion ships a lriplcheader. Also the holiday scheduling doesn't necessarily mean a good crowd. LITTLE FANFARE The Memorial day plan for the finals, it seems to us, was given little fanfare, although it was down in black and white if you knew where to look and looked. If you didn't look, it sort of sneaked up. Some of the north schools adapted their quarter and semifinals to the change. GREAT SPRING This has been a great spring for Medford high in athletics with District honors in all four spring sports, a stale doubles championship and Oregon second place team finish in tennis, a third in stale in golf, a lie for fifth in track and the baseball team slill in the running for state honors. CONVERSATION SUBJECT IV does no good to fret about what might have been. But, sometimes it remains good subject for conversation. In Ihe wake of the state A-l track meet, Medford high track fans can discuss what the Tornado's track chances would have been had sprinter Jim Hill been healthy for the district and stale meets and had Doug Brown not trans ferred from Medford to South Salem high. Hill on the basis of season performances cer tainly would have helped Medford to points in the dash es, hroad jump and relay. Brown won the high jump for South. And here's an additional touch of irony: Two years ago Jim Hat'jh was a sophomore hurdler for Medford Coach Dean Benson. Now. Jim has informed Ben son that he won the Wyoming state prep meet high jump this spring along with taking second places in both the high and low hurdles.

Marichal Or Fisher To Start For SF Cincinnati. Ohio (UPD The San Francisco Giants opened a 15-game road trip tonight when they risked their two game lead in the National league against the Cincinnati Reds. Either Jack Fisher (3-4) or Juan Marichal (6-3) was slated to open against the sixth place Reds, who have had trouble this year getting many hits. Manager Fred Hutchinson was expected to counter with Jim O Toole (7-3), the nifty southpaw who bested the Giants earlier this year and has an 8-9 lifetime mark against them. Fisher has no decisions with Cincinnati. Marichal owns a 4-5 career mark against the Reds. He turned them back with six hits ear lier this season. San Francisco closed out a home stand Sunday by los ing to the Los Angeles Dodg ers, 4-3, in the 10th inning as the result of shortstop Jose Pagan's third error of the game. The defeat ended a five game winning streak that helped the Giants to post nine wins in 12 games for the last dozen played at Candlestick. After three tilts at Cincin nati, the club moves on to St. Louis for another three with the vastly-improved Car dinals. COMMERCIAL CREDIT PLAN A service offered by Commercial Credit Plan, Incorporated of Medford Credit life and Disability Iniurtnci Available to Eligible Borrowers at Group Rates Released Steelhead Show Portland - On July 10, 1962, the game commission re leased into Medco pond in the upper reaches of the Rogue river just over 161,400 sum mer steelhead fry that had been hatched and fed for a period of four weeks at the commission's Butte Falls hatchery. Medco pond is an artificial rearing impoundment which is designed for the experi mental natural production of young salmon and steelhead. This old 70-acre log pond was leased to the game commission PBA Adopts New Rules For Keglers Akron, Ohio - A new for mat and scoring system which may revolutionize bowling competition nationally has been adopted for all tourna ments of the Professional Bowlers association. Announcement of the new system was the highlight of the PBA executive board meeting held in Akron recent ly. It will be put in effect immediately, according to the PBA's executive director, Ed die Elias. Under the new system, qual ifying scores of the 16 pro finalists will be carrier over into the head-to-head matches. In the 16 match games, where each man bowls every other finalist, plus the final posi tion round, each victory will bo worth an additional 50 pins. This method of computation represents a simplified com promise between the standard total pinfall system and the spectator oriented but highly complex Peterson point sys tem. Spectator Aided The bowling spectator ap pears to be the big winner in the new PBA format as total pinfall scoring can be dull to watch whereas the Peterson point system with its fractions, decimals, and won and loss records frequent ly confuses all but the most knowledgeable bowling devo tees. Under the old system, which up to this time was used in all major tournaments, the pins knocked down in quail fying rounds were eliminated and the 16 finalists started their head-to-head competition all even. This penalized the qualify' ing leader in that he might have finished several hundred pins ahead of the 16th man, and then faced elimination from the tournament three games later. The new formal is also fair to the 16th man because of the 50 point premium award ed for each game won. A streak of victories for the man in the head-to-head competi tion would enable him to move far up toward the lead ers, and he could conceivably still win the tournament. Elias declared that the new system is the greatest forward step the PBA has taken in the five year history of the nation-wide 900 member organization. MEDFOHD by the Medford Corporation and rebuilt to provide perma nent water controls and fish trapping facilities. For a full year these young steelhead were tended care fully by fishery biologists of the game commission's re search division, who made constant checks for disease, parasites, growth and mortal ity. The young fish were not fed in their man-made envir onment, but were allowed to grow and forage on what the impoundment would produce. This was done to simulate a; near as possible the wild con ditions which these fish would encounter throughout their lives. Fish Clipped On May 6, 1963, Medco pond was drained and 127,500 healthy young steelhead from the original plant, now aver aging around five inches in length, were tallied on their seaward journey through the counting station. All of the young summer steelhead were marked by clipping the adi pose, the right pectoral and the left ventral fins before be ing released into the Rogue river. Phil Schneider, state game Trust The Worlds Finest Bourbon $1510 a , $3 25 int MAIL ImttUNE, MtuOKU, 79 Per Cent director, said that the total of young steelhead released from this rearing impound ment represents a 79 per cent cent survival from the time of their introduction to the pond to their release in the Rogue system. This excellent survi val, according to Schneider, is the highest recorded since the game commission began its impoundment rearing pro gram several years ago. Such survival can be con sidered nothing less than ex ceptional when compared to reports of other fishery agen cies which have embarked on this relatively new method of salmon and steelhead produc tion. According to the 1961 annual report of the Wash ington Department of Fisher ies, a pioneering agency in impoundment rearing, the highest survival that year at six of its rearing impound ments where actual tallies are made reached the 40 per cent mark. Thirty-eight per cent sur vival was recorded at a second impoundment. Five additional impoundment tallies showed survival ranging from about 8 per cent to 17 per cent. This is survival from the time the uiuiiOH Survival Following Impoundment youngsters are placed in the rearing impoundment until they are released to make their way to the sea. Fair Results In this respect, Schneider said, the commission can also point to fair results at its sec ond rearing impoundment, Whistler's Bend on the North Umpqua, where survival this spring of steelhead yearlings released into the Umpqua system was just over 38 per cent of the initial number stocked in the impoundment. The primary changes that influenced the exceptional survival at Medco were sev eral, according to Schneider. Young fry slocked were re ported to be of the best qual ity and in good condition. In addition, the diversion of Daily creek around the pond with numerous points of water introduction permitted control of temperatures and dissolved oxygen at all times and throughout the impound ment. Last year, Schneider said, the first year Medco was put into production, the research division was plagued by a heavy population of bullhead catfish which prayed on the e I ii il I i Taste young steelhead as well competing for available food supplies. Survival of young Trophies Are Awarded At Crater Event Paul Bransom received the decathlon and high point man trophies at an awards assem bly held recently at Crater High school.

When the reservoir was drawn down last spring, Schneider said, the commis sion treated the sump area with rotenone eliminating this problem. Competition and predation were reduced to almost nothing resulting in excellent growth of young steelhead this past year. Schneider advised that the results of this method of na tural rearing of steelhead, and salmon s well, still remain to be seen. The return of marked steelhead in the Rogue and Umpqua river systems in the spring of 1965 will determine the success of these impound ment rearing ventures.
