Texas-Navy Cha mpionship Scrap To Highlight Day of Bowl Games Warm Watef Game Fish Ponds To Go Into Production Soon PORTLAND Something new in fish production is about to unfold for the first time on the Oregon scene, which should make the proverbial cane pole angler smile with delight. This will be the initial step by the game commission to produce warm-water game fish in arti ficial rearing impoundment. If all goes well, lakes, ponds and waterways suitable for bass, crappie, catfish and other species may soon be receiving plants of these fine game fish. Completed in Novarnbor was series of rearing ponds, which will go into production early in Located a few miles south of St. Paul in Ymhill ceunty, th sita includes a series of 10 one acre ponds lying adjacent in two banks (af five ponds each. Dcptk Vark-s Dtjith of the ponds varies from about four feet it ths shal low ends to ibout nine feet at the deep ends. All ponde slope toward a center dike where water controls are located plus a central drainage system. Each pond can be controlled independently. The drainage system flows into a trap device where fish from each pond may be captured, marRed if neces sary, and transported to the re lease sites. According to the game com mission, water is now being pumped into the ponds from a drilled well on the site. It takes about 72 hours of pumping to fill each pond. Only a few ponds remain to be fillcS. Production of spiny ray game fish is expected to be well under way by summer. KITE a.WKi LEAfiljfc (! of first hull) , , isH Wisely (47-m 3. Chuck Hovl .i22?

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer An estimated 360.000 college football fans were expected to ring out the old year and ring in the new year today and Wednesday at five major bowl games one of which may de termine 1963's No. 1 team. The two-day football binge 1 began in El Paso, Tex., today ; with Oregon opposing Southern Methodist in the Sun Bowl be-; fore a crowd of 30,000. Then, with a bleary-eyed na tional TV audience spinning the dials on New Year's Day, the bowl menu will be continued with four choice morsels: The Rose Bowl at Pasa dena, Calif., with Illinois (7-1-1) facing Washington (6-4) before a crowd of 100,000. The Orange Bowl at Miami, Kla., where Nebraska (9-1) will face Auburn (9-1) with a turn out of 72,000 anticipated. The Sugar Bowl at New Or leans, La., with Mississippi (7-0-2) facing Alabama (7-2) be fore a crowd of about 82,000. Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Tex., where Texas (10-0) takes on Navy (9-1) before some 75,000 fans. The "Big One" All five bowls have attractive pairings but the "big one" is in the Cotton Bowl where Texas, nationally first ranked at the close of the regular season and boasting one of the strongest defenses in many year, will face nationally second ranked Navy and its unpredictable Heisman player of the year, award-winning Roger Staubach. This classic match of sound defense and careful ball-controlling offense against varied and surprising offense will enable the winner to claim the nation al championship. Texas coaches concede the brilliance of Staubach but have emphasized the quality of the rest of Navy's squad during pre-game maneuvers. At the same time Navy Coach Wayne Hardin has repeatedly empha sized the strength-in-depth of the Texas squad. The odds makers have rhade Texas a timid one-point choice. Fullback Junior Coffey's re covery from injury has lifted Washington's Rose Bowl hopes against a typical Big Ten foe- talent in depth-laden Illinois. The Big Ten representative has been ins llled as a 64-point fa vorite. Illinois is reported in perfect condition. .Mississippi Favored! Quarterbacks Perry Lee Dunn and Jim Weatherly plus full back Bucky Randall give Mis-j been installed a l'j-point choice sissippi a seven-point edge in on the strength of its speed and the Sugar Bowl, according to the odds-makers. The big ques tion mark for Alabama is in jured fullback Mike Fracchia. Auburn is giving away height and weight to Nebraska but has resourcefulness. Auburn Coach Shug Jordan, discarding the caution characteristic of his srtrade, has predicted his Tigers will win "because we ve gotten every team we've played." Pinfare LARRY BLUNT IT WAS KIND OF SLOW around the bowling houses last week because of the holidays and some of the leagues not bowling. AT HOXY ANN LANKS La Rayne Harris rolled a 198-193-194 for a 585 series. Close be hind was Wanda Booth with 216-156-211 for 583. Pat Kerr had a 201-181-179 for 561 and Maxine Jantzer 158-187-1S3 for 538. EUa Pingle rolled a 178 all spare game. TOP SERIES for the men at Roxy was a 687 by Larry Blunt on 278-194-215.

Norm Neathamer scored 188-180-232 for 600 and Harold Boon 205-202-188 for 595. IT'S A FACT According to American Bowling Congress, the most pins below an individual's average was 148. A 157 average bowler who rolled a game of 9. The most consecutive duplicate games are seven rolled in 1954. Most games in a bowling mara thon came in 1960 when 1,042 games were rolled in 183 hours and 30 minutes. The bowling marathon is not recognized by ABC. REMEMBER - An effort to become a better bowler in every way can be one of your New Year's resolutions. DISTINCTIONS The Amer ican Bowling Congress tourna ment has three distinctions that no other major sporting event in the U. S. can match. 1. It is the largest in number of participants averaging more than 25,000 men each year. 2. It is the oldest annual na tional bowling event the first was in 1901, which makes it old er, for example, than both the World Series and the Rose Bowl. 3. It requires absolutely no qualifying or eliminations for the participants. The only thing needed is ABC membership. The last point is the most im portant as far as bowlers arc concerned. Every other compar able national sports champion ship requires qualifying of some sort in order to compete. EXAMPLES INCLUDE win ning a baseball pennant before playing in the World Series, win ning a football championship or having a great record to be eligible for the various college football championships and win ning qualifying meets to become a member of the U. S. Olympic team. The 1964 ABC championships will be held in Oakland, Calif., from Feb. 22 through April 26. Final date for entries is Jan. 21. There still are openings for in terested bowlers and complete information may be obtained by contacting any local bowling as sociation or Mike Ewbank, tour nament entries manager, ABC tournament headquarters, 1000 Fallon St., Oakland 7, Calif. Hunting Ends, Fishing Begins In California SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI) Sportsmen will begin setting aside their firearms and picking up their trout fishing rods in many California areas Wednes day. Five hunting seasons will close, but year around fishing oegins lor tne tirsl time on four major lakes. In addition, an ex perimental "fishing for fun" area opens up on the Kings River in Fresno County. Hunting seasons drawing to a close are for quail, chukars, tree squirrel?, cottontail rabbits and bear. So today is the last chance to get in on what the state says is the best upland game season "in several years." Lakes opening up for year around trout fishing are Success in Tulare County, Trinity in Trinity County, West Valley in Modoc County and Keweah in Tulare County. The limit will be five, except I'uring the gen eral trout season when it will be 10. The new Whiskcytown Lake, in Shasta County, will not open until May 2, although after that it also will be a year 'rounder. I he special fly fishing only season on the Kings River, from the Alta Weir upstream to Pine Flat Dam, will run through Feb. 29. But the "fishing for fun" designation means just that: all trout must be released immediately after they are caught. Hunters still may shoot water fowl and jacksnipe until Jan. 5 throughout the state, and band tailed pigeons except in the 13 northern counties until Jan. 12. Western Hockey League Season Half Way Gone By United Press International The Western Hockey League is half-way through its season, and so far Denver, Guyle Field er, and Al Millar dominate the proceedings. Denver has a 24-9-2 record, which gives the Invaders a sol id 15-point lead going into 1964 and the second half of play. Millar, the Denver net-minder, allowed only two goals in three contests last week to cut his over-all average lo a remark able 2.26 goals per game. Seat tle's Claude Dufour is a distant second with a 3.09 mark. To understand how this is re flected in team statistics, Den ver has permitted only PI goals this season. Then comes Seat tle's 106 and every other team in the league has surrendered at least 122 tallies. Fielder, Seattle's all-time Western Hockey League scoring king, is tops among scorers with 55 points based on 12 goals and a league-leading 43 assists. Denver's Lou Jankowski and Vancouver's Phil Maloney are tied for second with 48 points apiece. Larry Ziedcl of Seattle sat out last week's games because of a suspension, but his 113 min utes in penalties still lead the loop. All teams were inactive Mon day night and also get New Year's Eve off. SO Conference Basketball Slate To Open Friday SCHEDULES MEET LONDON (UPI) Freddie Mack of Brooklyn, N.Y., will meet Great Britain's Ray Shields in a 10-round heavy weight bout at the Two Circus Arena in Blackpool, Eng., on Feb. 6.

Spoils writers took a poll of Hose Bowl uucen Nancy Knee- land and her court of princesses and the girls voted unanimously in favor of the Huskies to win the battle.

Weber State Bumps Whitworth, 120-84 OGDEN, Utah (UPI) - The Weber State Wildcats broke two scoring records and raced past Whitworth College of Spokane Monday to take a 120-84 non conference basketball victory.
