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.

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. Roger Weiss roll
ed 215-214-186 for 615. John Glos
sop had 192-199-223 for 614, Lee
Zeismer 202-177-218 for 597 and
Wayne Arbaugh 184-180-227 for
591.
JUNIORS John Tungale led
senior boys at Roxy with a 181-200-204
for 585. Chuck Skeeters
paced junior boys with 169-191-180
for 540 and Dan Peyton
had high game with 200. Teresa
Wilkins headed junior girls with
109-168-139 and 416. David Skee
ters rolled 164-131 for 295 and
top bantam scries.
AT MEDFOHD LANES Elsie
Baker rolled a 186-187-193 for a
566 series. Eliene Brown had
203-201-160 for 561, Del Chris
tianson 169-202-191 for 562 and
Tena Olsen 165-187-202 for 554.
COE BROWN topped the men
at Medford Lanes with 200-221-245
for 666. Gene Gemaehlich
rolled 235-192-215 for 642, Bill
Hawley 247-177-202 for 626,
Claude Potts 215-225-177 for 617
and Chas. Reynolds 224-178-213
for 615. Potts also had a 611.
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.
