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.

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. STANDINGS

GET PAUNCH BOWL EQUIPMENT Keith Frenick isn't actually
reaching to the bottom of the barrel for football talent. 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

The fishing report Irom the coast
Is that there are a lew llsh and

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!

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.
