But still Guymas and the Gulf of Mexico in the town's front yard is a dandy fishing spot and he and his party Cliff Hogue of Klamath Falls and Harry Nichols and Oscar Kit tredge of Adel had a great time snagging mackerel, red snapper, grouper and something called cabrillo. Cabrillo, Cornett says, are about like our rock bass and weigh up to in neighborhood of ISO pounds. However, the larg est they caught scaled about a hundred. They used mackerel weighing 15-16 pounds for bait and enjoyed catching the bait as much as hauling in the big fel lows. They went up the gulf from Guymas about 35 miles but never got fir offshore in a criss craft boat rented in town. The party flew down from here, starting on the ninth of this month. They had trouble from the beginning. Motor trouble delayed the take-off un til about 10:30 in the morning and darkness forced the plane down in a sage field at Ashport, Ariz., the first night out. Ash port is some 5000 feet above sea level and the temperature was six below. Next day they flew on to Nogales, Ariz., and spent a day and a half there trying to get permission and clearance to cross the line. Cornett says the Mexicans make much over the language barrier but understand American money fluently. Anywhere from six to eight assorted officials had to look the party over and unravel quanti ties of red tape before allowing them to hop across the border and also did the same thing com ing back. While in Nogales, right on the line, they had snow and Guymas, 280 miles further south, was too chilly for a tropical paradise. Veterans At Oregon i R. W. Leighton, dean of Ore i con's school of physical educa ' tion, who dropped in for a chat and a cup of coffee a couple of days ago, believes that the Ducks are going to benefit great ly by the return of ex-servicemen to the campus in the next year or two. He expects to have about 50 I veterans in physical ed next year, compared to 17 now and only three last year, and in that group will be many who decided while in the army or navy that athletics was their best spot in life. . The vets he considers to be cooler, more level-headed in com petition than younger fellows j and that observation naturally j swung the conversation around to Veteran Jake Leicht. the hands-on-hips boy who was one of the coolest customers in coast football last season. Jake could play a whole game at halfback without getting his hair mussed. When Jake finished high chool in Sacramento, Leighton relates, he looked up Alonzo Stagg, the venerable gentleman of the College of the Pacific, to . inquire about his football chances in the PCC. Stagg told him none at all, too small. What about at College of the Pacific, Jake asked. Come on in, Stagg told him, you'll make it. But Jake wanted to play in . the coast conference so he mulled over Alonzo Stagg's remarks and decided that one of the smaller schools in the league was his best bet. Therefore he passed up Southern Cal, California and UCLA and came to Oregon. He received another jolt after he went into the air corps. Set- Oregon Prep Cage Races Moving Into Stretch Washington High, Defending Champs, Only Undefeated Team In Portland By A. R. BURNS The Oregon prep basketball scene began moving Into focus today, as the 74 class "A" squads rolled down the main stretch toward berths in the state tournament and league laurels. Baker was riding far ahead in the Blue Mountain conference, and held odds for a playoff spot against a Snake River valley team for the district 1 tourney berth. The district 2 picture, whose five teams will decide the berth by playoff, was still blurry. Redmond clung to its pedestal in district 3. Down in the Southern Oregon conference, district 4 had storm warnings posted against Modford's winning Black Tornado. Myrtle Point was out ahead in the district 5 race, with Marsmield trailing close be hind. Eugene, district 6 defend- Many Trap Shooters Turn Out The largest crowd of gunners ever to turn out for one of the Sunday trap shoots at Wocus, 65, took part in the blazing away last Sunday. A. S. Congdon topped the marksmen from 16 yards, hit ting 49 out of 50 rocks, and Nel son Reed hit 45 of 50 in the handicap shoot. Next Sunday morning prizes will be awarded high-scoring new shooters. The Klamath Gun club holds this meet weekly. Trap Shoot Scores: Name- 16-yds Handicap S. A. Confdon 49 43 BUI Hunt 48 H. Carlch 48 B. Hardenbrook . John Coulson Marvin Hilton -A. V. Jacobson . JL V.

Coach Slats Gill and his Orangemen will leave Corvallis today with the first stop at Moscow for two games against Idaho's powerful Vandals tomorrow and Saturday night From Moscow the Beavers move over 10 miles to Pullman, Wash., for games with Washing ton State next Monday and Tues day nights. As a result of breaking even in a two-game series with the University of Oregon last week end, the Beavers hold a slim half game lead over Washington in the close pennant chase. To re main in the race Oregon State must at least break even against the Cougars and Vandals and to stay in the driver's seat must win three out of four. 1 CINCINNATI Floyd Gibson, 174, Cincinnati, outpointed Tommy Charles, 174, Terre Haute, Ind., 8. tling at March field he went out for the post football team.

"That's the kind I like to be behind," Leicht replied, and went on to prove it. ing champion, rolled up another victory Tuesday to keep its un beaten record in district play. In the no-name league, how ever, where the Axemen have played only three games, Eu gene stood in only third place, wth the Corvallis Spartans far out in front. Corvallis, once beaten by powerful Lebanon in the district 7 contest, will be trying for its second district victory with a Friday tilt against Sweet Home. Only clear detail in district 8, which contains four teams that don't all meet until a post season tournament, was that McMinnville ranks way ahead of Newberg. McMinnville was running second in the Tualatin Yamhill Valley league. Hills boro, unbeaten in TYV play, appeared a cinch to take the district 9 berth from its other TYV opponents. Astoria held one victory and Seaside one loss in the only district 10 game played so far. Salem, runner-up in the no name league, looked strong for the district 11 contest to be de cided by tournament with three Willamette Valley league teams. Oregon City was roaring far in front in district 12. The dis trict 13 situation, where the seven teams don't play each other until tourney time, was hazy. Rainier headed district 14. Washington High of Port land, state defending champion, was the only unbeaten team in the Portland loop, with Com merce in second place. The two top squads will gain district 15 and 16 tourney berths. Pels Slate Series With Grants Pass Next game for the Klamath Pelicans, now riding along on a season's record of 13 wins against a pair of losses, will be against the Grants Pass Cave men on the high school court to morrow night. The Pels have one decision over the Josephine county lads already this season, beating them 50-21 in the final game of the Rogue River invitational tourney last December. A second game is to be played here Saturday night. Preliminary to the varsity tilt tomorrow the Freshmen will play Ashland junior high at 7 o'clock. The Rooks are the only KUHS cage group as yet un beaten this session. Saturday night's Pelican Cavemen scrap will follow a pair of prelims, the Frosh versus Chiloquin B's at 6 o'clock and the Wildcats meet the Chiloquin varsity at 7. Ashland Cage Meet Dates Scheduled , ASHLAND The annual Southern Oregon basketball tourney will be held at Southern Oregon college in Ashland March 13, 14, 15 and 16, the col lege has announced. R. W.

Golfers Will Use Synthetic Pellets Again Next Summer CHICAGO, Jan. 24 (P) The average golfer will have to belt a pellet of synthetic rubber most of 1946 and chances are he will have to shop hard and long to replace that battered "duration" driver. Representatives of two rank ing athletic equipment concerns today sized up the golf supply situation and said those bouncy pre-war balls will not be on the market before August and per haps not at all this season. The latest synthetic balls, however, will be "almost as good," they amended. Production of clubs will be fairly brisk by May or June, but keep an eye on the steel strike shich may slacken manufacture of club shafts just when produc ers thought they had the man power problem licked. George Dawson of the A. G.
