MKDFOltD MAIL TRIBLNK, IMEUKOKD, OKEGON WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 30. 1963 Good Start Anticipated For Salmon Impoundment PORTLAND Salmon Un limited, a non-profit group on the lower Rogue River interest ed in the preservation of salmon and steelhead, should get its Libby pond experimental rear ing impoundment off to a good start this year. A permanent fih rack for taking adult fall Chinook from Lobster creek has been com pleted in a joint project between this conservation group and the Oregon game commisson. The rack is located about eight miles up Lobster creek on U. S. Plywood property, which has as sured permanent access to the site. Eggs from this source will be fertilized at the site and trans ferred to the Game Commis sion's Bandon hatchery for hatching. When the egg-take is complete, the rack will be open ed to allow upstream passage to migrating fish. The young fry will be stocked in Libby pond and released in Lobster creek or the Rogue when the smolt stage is reached. Provided Material Salmon Unlimited provided material and man power for con struction of the egg-taking facili ties which included an access road, holding pond for adult fish, and traps for capturing adult salmon on their upstream migra tion. A three-man crew and tech nical assistance was provided by the game commission. The rack is 110 feet long and Phoenix Keeps Grid Poll Lead Phoenix High continued as the unanimous choice for No. 1 in the A-2 prep rating poll of the Portland Oregonian. The Pirates again polled 100 points this week and were fol lowed by Vale with 88. Roseburg was near unanimous with 96, which is 10 ahead of Medford's second place 86, in the A-l rankings. GHIll RATINGS: Class A-l stretches completely across Lob ster creek. It is constructed of timbers and two-by-four up rights. U. S. Plywood donated lumber and poles as well as use of the site. Last year the Gold Beach Sal mon Unlimited chapter entered into an agreement with t h e Game Commission resulting in cooperative eilorts on the ex perimental rearing of young sal mon in Libby pond. All phases of production, marking, release of young salmon, and other stu dies will be under the direction of the game commission assist ed by members of the group. MEDF0RDvJ&&TR1BUNB SPORTS McCloud Victor In Grid Game HAPPY CAMP, Calif.-Happy Camp High Indians football squad had a good look at one of the best runners in Siskiyou County Saturday when Ed Owens ran for three touchdowns for McCloud and the three plays totaled approximately 150 yards. One was on McCloud's first offensive play as it started on the w a y to a 25-0 victory. Fourth touchdown was on a blocked kick which was recover ed in the Indian end zone. McCloud took the Evergreen League championship for the second year in a row. The loss gave the Indians a 1-3 record. Happy Camp played one of its best games in defeat with its almost all junior squad facing a strong offensive team. Jim and Johnny Hayes and Jim Driver, all-linemen are the seniors on the Indian squad. Jim Hayes was the team's lead ing tackier. With the experience of the past season behind it, the Indians who return for next fall's campaign figure to provide tough opposition for their rivals This season Happy Camp had an all starting baekfield along with a new coach, Doug Paul.

(UPI) - Former middleweight champ Denny Moyer of Portland, Ore., and Mexican middleweight king Mono Ayon of Mexico battled to a highly unpopular 10 -round draw Tuesday night. The verdict was lustily booed by the 800 fans who thought that Moyer had gained the edge. But referee Fred Apostoli of San Francisco, the only official, called the bout a 3-3 draw. Moyer seemed to dominate the fight throughout as he pecked away with a good left jab. Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sport! Editor When a change is made in game date and time, somebody ought to inform us. A good share of the time this is done. But, often it is not. We go by the schedules that are sent in to us. We figure they are right un less we are told differently. Sometimes we get a hunch or hint of a change and check up. In yesterday s paper, how ever, we went by the published schedule concerning the "civil war football games this week between McLoughlin Junior High and Hedrick Junior High eighth and ninth grade football teams. Just a couple of hours after the paper was off the press we learned that the dates for both games had been changed some time ago. The eighth grade game is now set for 3:30 p.m. on Thursday at McLoughlin and the ninth grade affair for 2:30 p.m. on Friday, each game be ing moved ahead one day. ATTEMPT TO BOUNCE Ashland High's Grizzlies will try to bounce back from their "worst game of the season when they meet the Medford High football team her on Fri day. At Central Point the Cra ter Comets will seek to get back on the victory trail against a team which last week won its first fracas of the season. The Fireballs entertain the Klamath Union Pelicans. LOOK FOR ANSWER Does a week end off during the season help or hinder? The Medford Black Tornado will look for the answer to that ques tion when it goes against the Grizzlies. For the Whirlwinds had an open date last Friday. They should be rested but will they have the sharpness they displayed the week before against Klamath Falls? TORNADO CHOICE Medford will be the favorite on the strength of play so far this season. The Tornado is 5-1 for the season and Ashland is KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKY 66 PROOf EARLY TIMES DISTILLERY C0MHN. LOUISVILLE. KENTUCKY Cctdc ia Sircnanji Oregon 3rd In Offense NEW YORK (UPI) -Oregon ranked third in the nation in total offense and passing of fense m NCAA football team statistics released today. The Ducks have rolled up 2, 307 yards in 370 plays in six games for a 384.5 average. Utah State was first with 2, 365 yards in 381 plays in six games for a 394.2 average and Wichita was second with 1,928 yards in 304 plays in five con tests for a 385.6 average. Oregon has gained 1,225 yards by passing on 72 completions of 128 passes attempted for a 204.2 average. Baylor led with a 227.4 average on 1,137 yards on 89 for 157 in five games. Fifth in Scoring The Ducks were fifth in scor ing with 166 points for a 27.7 average. First was Utah State with a 37.5 average. Oregon quarterback Bob Ber ry was fourth in the nation in total offense in individual sta tistics. The junior signal caller has gained 1,109 yards in 139 plays in six games. Navy quarterback Roger Staubach led with $,306 yards on 211 plays in six contests. Judo Class Split Because of Size Twenty-two new people turned out for the first class of the new 10 session basic instruction in judo last night at the Medford YMCA sponsored by the Med ford YMCA Judo club. Due to the large number of people and the comparatively small-sized mat. Chief Instructor Lee Garrett split the group into two class periods. One will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. every Monday night and the other from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday night. Last night Garrett gave an in doctrination lecture on the prin ciples of judo. Instruction in for ward rolls and Yawara or ele mentary judo grips followed. Assisting Garrett are Ima and Murry Powell, Loren Pryor and Garry DeGarmo. Teams Co-Champs In D Basketball HAPPY CAMP, Calif. - The previously undefeated Happy i Camp High "D" basketball team ; had a cold night here Friday j against the Butte Valley Bull dogs and fell into a co-champion-! shin with that team in Ever- 2-4. The clubs have met just one common foe. Ashland fell to Klamath Falls 13-0 after Medford had thumped the Pels 34-0 the week before. The Ash landers feel they are a better team than their Klamath score indicated. Medford played con sistent ball against the Pels. Ashland will try for its first, win since 1947 over the Tornado in football. Medford has won most of the past 15 games by sizeable margins but there have been some narrow escapes, too. The last was in 1961 when the Breeze prevailed 14-0. BARGER MAY MISS Ashland's regular quarter back, David Barger, missed the Klamath Falls game becaus of a knee injury suffered in prac tice, and it is indicated he may miss the Medford game, too. So far as we noted, Barger's injury was not advertised before the KF combat although there was opportunity to read between the lines. COX RUNNING WELL Medford's squad began this week with a heavier than usual Monday drill. Then, yesterday passing got attention and there was dummy scrimmage. Coach Fred Spieglcberg reported that Halfback Jim Cox is running Murray, the only player now going both ways, likely will get the left half starting call but Cox may see a lot of duty at the post. MEMORIES OF 1961 Crater's Fireballs, ambitious to snap a three - game loss streak, take on Klamath Falls with bitter memories of the last grid meeting of the two schools at Central Point. Klam ath Falls ran over the Comets 58-7 in 1961. The Comets sort of evened the score last season by battling the Pels to a scoreless dead lock. Klamath was thereby knocked out of the Southern Oregon conference title running. Pelicans argue that they should have been awarded a touchdown on the final play of the scuffle. Game officials said they were short of the goal. The Comets maintained that Klamath should not have had its last play. Klamath had run out of time outs. Officials said Crater had called time and, although the Comets declared they didn't, KF was given another oppor tunity to run the ball. EIGHTH MEETING Klamath and Crater will con tend for the eighth time on Fri day in varsity football. The Com ets were winners in the first four games between the schools. According to rivalry against common foes, Crater should rate the favorite this week. Grants Pass won from Klam ath 12-0 and 19-0 and from Cra ter 12-0 and Medford won from KF 34-0 and Crater 6-0. PROPAGANDA We read in one of Jerrv Ack- len's "Ack-Ack" column in the Grants Pass Daily Courier last week that the Medford High football team, in playing Klam ath Falls, tried to double Grants Pass's score against the Peli cans. He later said that is what the Cavemen scouts reported. Could it be propaganda? well, the Black Tornado fell way short of doubling GP scor ing against the Whitebirds. Med ford collected just 34 points. It would have had to have 62 to double the Caveman output. For, Grants Pass tabulated 31 against tne fens in two games, of course. OPPOSITE SIDES Ex-Mcdford High players will be on opposite sides this Sat-1 urday in one of the big colle giate football games on the West Coast. Stanford, with Halfback Dick Ragsdale and Guard John James,, meets. Oregon Stale, with Defensive Back Dan Sieg and Guard Al Funston, at Cor vallis.. Halfback. Phil Hum phreys also in on the Stanford squad but is not expected to make the trip. Halfback Steve Thurlow and Tackle Al Hildebrand drew raves for Stanford last Satur day in its upset of Notre Dame. Hut, the Medford TV audience will tell you that Ragsdale had a big share in the victory, too. "Gee Whiz!, he had himself a day," said one watcher. Ragsdale Is described today in a story by Don McLeod In the Portland Oregonian as looming "as irrefutable proof that the day of grid versatility is not at an end." Dick Is listrd as tops in scor ing, pass receptions, kickoff and punt returns and punting and second in ground gaining for the Army Football Team Remains In Character; Stays on Ground virur vnuir mun whit HUH Jl WX ,,I1UG most of tne nation s major-college football teams have joined the passing parade in recent years, Army, disdaining change remained in character by keep ing its nose to the ground. The Cadets rolled their cais sons along for 854 yards in their last two games to move up to second place behind Nebraska in this week s National Colle giate Athletic Association Serv ice Bureau rankings. Paul Dietzel s griduers boost ed their rushing average to 276 yards per game to trail the Comhuskers, who have chunked out an imposing 287.3 average. WATER BOY Mickey Mantle, above, New York Yankee out fielder, sidelined by a recent knee operation, was designated water boy for the football game between the Miss Teenage Amer ican contestants from East and West at Dallas, Tex. Mantle is shown using a towel to fan off two of the East team members, Mary Susan Robinson, left, Chattanooga, Tenn., and Sue Ellen Hoelck, New London, Conn. (UPI) Red Raiders Engage Chico Aggregation ASHLAND Southern Oregon offense into a shot gun attack College with a four-win and two loss record takes on the Chico State Wildcats in a Homecoming football battle Saturday after noon at Fuller Field. Game time is 1:30 p.m. This intersectional contest is an old rivalry with SOC. The Wildcats play a tough brand of ball in rugged Far Western Conference and consistently field a top flight team. From scouting reports the Wildcats have been edged out in a couple of their games, and their record of one win and five losses is not a true picture of their strength. Raider Coach Al Akins was unhappy with the loss to Port land State last weekend and has decided to revise his balanced and use variations of this type of play. Doug Olsen, SOC leading scorer, nas been loosening up his throwing arm for this week's game. The crowd may see the Raiders' quarterback of last year leading the offense this time. WORK ON DEFENSE CORVALLIS, Ore. (UPI) - Oregon. State worked on defense and pass patterns in a drill Tuesday. Coach Tommy Prothro spoke at a Beaver Club luncheon and said that Stanford, the Beavers' next foe, "is a real hard-nosed team and it will be a tough game. GP Jayvees Top Crater CENTRAL POINT Grants Pass, with 11 players contribu ting to the scoring, rolled over Crater High 77-0 here Monday night in a jayvee football game. Getting touchdowns for GP were Rick Sergeant and Charlie Williams, each two, and Ron Davis, Tom Blanchard, Pat Howe, Bob Burton, Russell Lar son, Bob Kukowski and John Johnson. Bill Bigelow kicked nine ex tra points and Don Sprinkle tackled a Comet in the end zone for a safety. Blanchard and Wil liams threw scoring passes with Blanchard throwing to Sergeant for 56 yards. Howe had a run for 67 yards and Johnson one for 61. The Air Force, which meets Army Saturday, also has stayed mostly on the ground and is eighth in the nation in this cat egory with a 249.5 average. Old Fashioned Duel If the two service academies stick to form, onlookers at Chi cago's Soldiers' Field will see an old fashioned ground duel. Utah State, which featured a huge, rock-ribbed defense when Mervin Olsen was knocking down enemy ballcarriers in 1961, is tops in two categories, total offense and scoring. The Aggies have averaged 394.2 yard and 37.5 points in six contests Baylor, a member of the aerial-minded Southwest, shows the best forward passing offense with a 227.4 average in five games. Another service academy, Navy, didn't fare as well as its brothers in arms in the weekly statistics. The Middies, who were in first place in three de partments three weeks ago, no longer pace the field in any category, having lost the last of their leads when they slipped to sixth place in total offense against Pittsburgh last Saturday. B 5 Just One Day Left in General Trout Season PORTLAND Oregon ang lers have just one day left of the 1963 general trout season. October 31 is the closing date, the last day of the season for anglers to try for trout under the summer regulations. Beginning Nov. 1, anglers must fish according to the win ter regulations.
