Quoth The Kaven, 'Ouch!'
SEATTLE. Jan. 9 (l'l For
lour months, March through
June, 1846, the erow, magpie
and raven population of
Washington state had better
Eel out of town. Head lor the
rush, you rascals!
The state game commission,
meeting here for the second
day of Its three-day winter
gathering, yesterday author
ised a 10-eent bounty on the
above named feathered pests.
Which undoubtedly will cause
a flurry and a scurry of small
boys cleaning .22 rifles like
craty.
The Canada lynx came In
for a short touch of dignity.
The commissioners took him
off the predatory list and re
classified him as a fur-bearer.
Glenn Mitchell of the U. S.
forest service said a satis-
factory cooperative program
was worked out with the game
' department on distribution of
gume and domestic stock in
national forest areas.
Commissioner Virgil Ben
nington of Walla Walla came
up with a warning word on
the deer situation in the Uma
tilla forost. He said there
wouldn't be any deer In those
parts within ten years unless
the number of elk Is material
ly reduced, because "one elk
will eat as much as five deer."
Leo Lalthe, Portland, re-
gional director of the U. S.Ush
and wildlife service, suggested
a compromise to opposed gov
ernment plans for a Skagit
Flats duck refuge. He offered
to trade involved Bkaglt pro
psriy for lands In othor parts
of the state. Legislative ac
tion would be required In the
case of any appropriations,
commissioners said.
Final action at yesterday's
meeting was another insult to
ravens. They were taken off
the non-game list and reclassi
fied as predatory. Washing
ton state's raven department
has a sorry future, which is
probably Just what ravens deserve.
Lipscomb Hard-Pressed
To Split With Martinelli
Tlnrk I.lnHenmfi hud to resort
to every vicious trick at his dls-'l
powil lust night to gain an even
split with Augolo Martinelli but
nt tho end of the bout ho bad tho
Buckeye Boy so Incapacitated ho
couldn't hnve come buck for
more had there been any rounds
left.
Lipscomb and Martinelli were
tho survivors of tho rnsslo royal.
Jnck didn't play nny fnvorltes In
the miiHs mauling, first teaming
wllb Peto Bclcimtro to floor
Ilerble Parks, then with Gust
Johnson to flatten Earl Mulone,
then tossing Johnson unaided
and then skiing with Martinelli
to henvo Belcaslro.
The muln go started rough.
Duck floored Angelo with a right
to the button while Kefcrco
Wnlly Moss was still giving his
preliminary Instructions. Tho
first round was glvo and take
with plenty of taking.
Martinelli copped the first
flop with an Intricate press fol
lowing a couple of body slnms,
but not before Lipscomb had
tossed him once Into the aisle.
In the final cunto Angelo
muffed n chance to win by not
following up nn advantage when
lie bad Jnck clinging to the
ropes, and that worthy got even
by a stamping hnmmerlock that
left Mnrtlnelli's left arm use
less. Another draw came in the
opener between Pnrks and Enrl
Mulone. Tattooed nnd paunchy
Mnlone was out of lino all along
with biting, gouging and closed
fist clouting nnd he took the In
itial fall In tho second round on
full reverse crab.
Pnrks got his by virtue of a
stomping toehold after battering
Malono with body slams.

Towering Pelican Pivot man
Instrumental In Cage Wins
By JOHN LARSON
KUHS Krater
Jerry Thome, 6 foot 3 Pelican
plvotmun, is one good reason
why the Pels ore being boomed
for statu basketball laurels this
season.
The towering center, tall
est man on the squad, has given
the local boys virtual control of
tho air around the backboards
in games thus far and his work
on tip-Ins bus saved more than
one erratic shot for the Pels.
Thorno Is a Junior In high
school und Is playing his second
year as varsity center, but
through lust year's play he was
kept on the bench much of the
time by an injured leg received
In football practice.
Jerry wns born in Aberdeen,
S. Dak., but came to Klamath
ut the age of eight. He Is an
athletic product of Mills school,
having started basketball there
In tho sixth grade and played
every year since. He also played
freshman football at KUHS.

Weekend
Basketball of all varieties Is
on the Klamath slate for this
weekend with games Friday and
Saturday nights at the KUHS
gym and on the Marine Barracks
court.
The Pelicans, riding high on
a six-tilt win streak, take on the
Ashland Grizzlies for a two
game series at tho high school.
These tilts will start at 8 o'clock
and the Wildcats or Freshmen
may schedule preliminary
scraps to be announced later.
Out on the hill the Leather
necks, who have copped seven
out of 10 starts, meet an arch
rivul in the Fairficld-Suisln Sky
masters, provided flying weath
er isn't so bod the army boys
can't make the hop up here from
Vullejo.
All through the war the Falr-ficld-Suisin
base was conceded
to put out some of the better
athletic squads on the west
coast, but the Skymasters have
consistently fared badly at the
hands of the local marines.
When the Leathernecks had a
football team they edged past
the Vallcjo boys, 14-12. Then
last year, in one of the most ex
citing basketball games of the
season, the Marines took a last
minute 46-44 game from Falr-fleld-Suisln.
