WSU Fires Grid Coach Sutherland PULLMAN, Wash. (UPI) -Jim Sutherland, who developed some of the finest passing teams in the nation during his eight years as head football coach at Washington State Uni versity, will be looking for a new job when he sends his West squad onto the field in this year's Shrine game. Stan Bates, athletic director at WSU, announced Thursday afternoon that Sutherland's con tract was being terminated Jan. 30, 1964 by mutual agreement. That will be almost eight years to the day from the date in 1956 when "Suds" took over the reins of the Cougars' sagging football fortunes from the hands of ousted Al Kircher. Best Interests Bates, in making the an nouncement, said the "move is being made in the best inter ests of the athletic program" and added that a settlement was being worked out for the one year remaining on Suther land's two-year contract. Sutherland said the "football program here is untenable and the only way they could do any thing about it was to make a change." "It's always the coach's fault when things aren't going well," he added. "That's to be expect ed. I have no bitter feelings to ward the school."

UCLA Bruins Join Swim By United Press International UCLA, co-favorite in the Bis Six cage race, and the always rugged USC Trojans join the basketball swim tonight when they open their seasons in an intersectional doubleheader. USC hosts Butler University and the Bruins battle Brigham Young tonight. The Los Angeles squads switch foes Friday. If the Bruins can flash their predicted form this season, the Big Six race could be a great one. Stanford looked like money in the bank when they swept a two game series against Oregon this week. Indian star Tom Dose again flashed brilliance and got unexpected help from 6 foot 6 soph Bob Bedell. Then, California flattened St. Mary's with ease as 6 foot 10 inch center Camden Wall ap peared to have completely re covered from the knee injury which has hampered his basket ball at Berkeley for two years. Now come the Bruins with dazzling backcourt ace Walt Hazzard and beefy center Fred Slaughter back again. MEL MAY SIGN EUGENE (UPI) - Oregon halfback Mel Renfro indicated today he plans to sign with the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League and that he probably will pass up his final year of track eligibility. .'l l Glide Phoenix the Buccaneers will be on Sat urday night with the Glide Wildcats as guests. Varsity ac tion is set for 8 p.m. Beeson, 6-4, and Hamilton, 5-3, are the long and short of the quintet. Barker and Consbruck are lettermen. Carrigan Coaches Three other lettermen may see quite a bit of duty Jon Granby, Eugene Hill and Ken Hawkins. Granby is still trou bled by football ankle injuries. Hawkins is to alternate at guard. Durham has indicated that he may platoon his players in the opening week end of play. Glide's Wilcats are coached by Gordon Carrigan, ex-Crater High and ex-Southern Oregon College athlete. Carrigan re portedly has a solid group of veterans with good height under the boards and fair speed in the backcourt. Phoenix is making its season hoop debut with only four days of regular practice. Dick Tiger Picked Over Giardello ATLANTIC CITY (UPI)-Mid-dleweight champion Dick Tiger advanced a half-point in the bet ting odds today to beat chal lenger Joey Giardello in their 15-round title fight Saturday night at Convention Hall. The odds lengthened from 3-1 to 3V4-1 that 34-year-old Tiger of Nigeria will defeat 33-year-old Giardello of Cherry Hill, N.J., although each won a de cision in their two previous non title 10-round bouts. Promoter Murray Goodman said he expects a crowd of 14, 000 and a gate of $125,000 in the huge hall where the annual Miss America Pageant is held. Although the hall could seat 40,000 it has been set up to ac commodate only 18,000. There will be no television or radio. Both fighters kept limber to day with moderately long walks and with room exercises at their hotels. Each is expected to weigh in Saturday just below the 160-pound limit. Tiger is the heavy favorite because he is unbeaten in his last 10 bouts, which included one draw; also because he is believed to have more stamina and ruggedness than the chal lenger.

He is iust getting a little help from heftier teammates in getting grid ac coutrements from the bottom of the hamper. Members of the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce drew equipment last night from the high school for their appearance in the annual Paunch Bowl football game at Grants Pass. The game, with proceeds earmarked for Medford and Josephine County Funds, is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, at Caveman Field. They were challenged to the game by the Grants Pass Active 20-30 Club. Tackle football will be played. This is the first time the GP club has gone outside the Grants Pass area for a rival. Here 250-pound Don Reese and 255-pound Ken Ditty, hard-pressed for equipment to fit their heroic proportions, have the assistance of 150-pound Frenick. Reese and Ditty will be the biggest members of the team which can start with a 210-pound average line and 193 pound backfield. The Jaycees will outnumber their rivals 27 to 16, according to reports. Medford service club members accepted the bowl bid because the Active 20-30 challenge "impugns our authority, casts aspersions on our community and is generally distasteful." The GP club reportedly is practicing diligently for the contest under the coaching of Larry Stevens and Ron Maurer. Medford's crew feels that it does not need a coach. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hand DeVoss The recent death of a fisher man at the Smith river is a warning to the rest of us who love to fish this river that our affection should be a cautious thing. The enjoyment of winter steelhead fishing can be lost in an instant of carelessness that can destroy any of us, and the Smith river gorge is an example of the likeliest place for this to happen. THE GORGE The falls area on the Smith river is very dangerous to the person who can swim and has learned survival techniques in the water. The non swimmer who fishes here is asking for a chance to die at an early age. The gorge through which the Smith hoils and eddies al this point is steep, slippery, and sometimes icy during the early morning hours. The few places to fish are noted for their com pactness, and arc competed for during certain water conditions. The competition is so keen that fishermen have been known to scratch their way to the few fishing ledges long before day light in order to have first crack at the fish. A WORD One might wonder why any sane man would take chances in such a place if it is possible to catch fish in some other part of the river. The answer lies in the kind of fishing found here. When the fish are moving through af ter a period of storm, the falls area produces more fish per man than any other place on the river. The falls on the mid dle fork and the south fork of the Smith are known tor this, and since a fish is the reason for fishing, many fishermen will have reason enough to fish the falls. ADVICE? We might hope that anyone fishing the falls area docs know how to swim, and if he doesn't know how to swim he Is tied to a nearby rock or tree. Swim mers ought to lie lien ncorny. No one should go fishing alone In the gorge; you need help to Bet out ol the water when you do fall In, and you'll need help with anv fish you catch if you don't fall in. The best attitude for those who must fish the falls area is to pick all the likely spots where you migni tan in and decide what to do If and when it happens. Then it won't he such a big surprise. (The reason for the tonguc-ln-choek advice is that it's not likely that anyone will lake it anyhow.) CONSERVATIONISTS AWAKE! Stalled in the House subcom mittee on irrigation and recla mation is S. 793, the bill to pro tect the wildlile conservation ob jectives of the Tule Lake, Lower Klamath, Upper Klamath, and Clear Lake National Wildlife Refuges in California and Ore gon, the Wildlife Management institute reports. Approved ear lier this year by the senate, S. 793 is much the same as a Senate-passed bill that was Vared by the House subcom nittee in 1952. It died when MEDFOltD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Congres adjourned, hence the need for re-consideration of the worthy proposal. STALLED Conservationists support S. 793 as approved by (he Senate. The bill has run into conflict In the House subcommittee, which has .congressman. Harold -T. Johnson (Calif.) of the Tulclake district as a members. Johnson is proposing an amendment that conservationists and (he Senate say is unnccded and undesira ble, because it would subordi nate (he purposes of the Tulc Lake National Wildlife Refuge to purely local irrigation consid erations. Unless subcommittee Chairman Walter Rogers (Tex.) and full committee Chairman Wayne N. Aspinall (Colo.) are convinced of the urgent need for giving full congressional protec tion to Tide Lake, Lower Klam ath, and the other refuges, a sympathetic member of the committee reports, S, 793 may continue to be stalled. THE ANGLER'S LOG Between a full moon and clearing water, and for other reasons known only to fish, the past week hasn't been one noted for its good fishing. But hope springs eternal, and this week end should be beter than the last. .. Chclcu River Good llshlnR news hasn't come out ol here as yet. The fishing report Irom the coast Is that there are a lew llsh and lewcr fishermen. Illinois Itlvcr Much the same an last week. One 12-pounder was reported caught just hcluw the falls earlier in the week. Klamath Itlver The guide at Happy Camp reports HshinK la im proving alter a slump caused by who knows what. Limit catches on cluster cKfis arc coming in from Tcc-har to ScotlA Bar. Fish aro running from 3 to 12 pound. iloft-ue Itlver Fishing in Ihe Gfl lice area has been slow. Mining in the Grave creek tributaries has 1 slopped fishing helow lhal point. ! nmiin nivcr tuner mis river has more fish than any of Ihe oth ers, or It's being llshcd harder by more Hshcrmcn. Some salmon and steelhead are being taken every day. Water is getting low and clear. THIS OPTIMIST'S CORNER One of the local experts re cently witnesses an old man of (he Smith river take three fish in almost as many casts. The other fishermen were sweating to find just one fish. It could be (hat some luck takes years of practice. GOOD LUCK! Barrett Sentenced For Shoplifting SEATTLE (UPI) -Kichard "Kcwpie Dick" Barrett, long lime pitcher with the Seattle Itainiers of the Pacific Coast league, pleaded guilty Thursday to a charge of shoplifting. Barrett, 57, and on relief, was arrested Wednesday after taking three pieces of chicken and some chicken liver from a store. He appeared before Muni cipal Judge Walter T. Mc Govern. A $50 fine and 30-day jail sentence were both suspended sisVc Barrett had no previous the! record. Woodson Leader in KO Returns NEW YORK (UPI) -In the midst of the San Francisco Forty Niners' most dismal sea son, Abe Woodson is racing toward the most impressive kickoff return record in Nation al Football League history. wooason, who was a Big Ten track champion at Illinois and plays corner defense halfback for the Forty Niners, is on the verge of becoming the first NFL player to win the kickoff return championship three times. He presently leads with a 33.8-yard average for 26 run backs, according to statistics re leased today by the NFL. The 188 pound speedboy has run three kickoffs back for touch downs, including a 103 - yarder against the Minnesota Vikings. Woodson already holds four NFL kickoff return records: Most yards lifetime, 3,938; most returns season, 37 in 1962; most returns game, 7 vs. Detroit in 1962, and most yards season, 1,157 in 1962 (he is 277 yards short of that record at present.) Besides -the season yardage record, five other kickoff rec ords are wi t h i n Woodson's reach this season (most seasons leading league, highest lifetime average, highest season aver age, most touchdowns career and most touchdowns season.) There were changes in the leadership of two specialties this week, Jimmy Brown of the Cleveland Browns regaining first place in the scoring race from placekicker Jerry Kramer of the Green Bay Packers and Clendon Thomas of the Pitts burgh Steelcrs supplanting Roosevelt Taylor of the Chicago Bears in pass interceptions. Jimmy Brown remained on top in rushing, Y. A. Tittle of the New York Giants in pas sing, Bobby Joe Conrad of the St. Louis Cardinals in pass re ceiving; Yale Lary of the De troit Lions in punting, and Bra dy Keys of the Pittsburgh Steel ers in punt returns.
