Migratory Deer Under Study At Alturas
By HALE SCARBROUGH
The Oregon-California inter
state deer herd cume in tor a
rather close scrutiny at Alturas
Saturduy night as foresters and
sportsmen of the two states met
on equal footing to discuss the
deer and winter range problem
with a cooperative attitude
which will eventually settle the
wandering herd situation to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
George Fisher, Modoc forest
er who has worked on deer cen
suses for three years, pointed
out the current concentration of
the interstate herd and Califor
nia Class mountain herd in and
around the lava beds area.
. He has made a strip survey
every month this winter and is
to make a final check this week
to determine as far as possible
the exact actions of the inter
state herd from the time they
cross the state line at the begin
ning of cold weather until they
cross it again going north in the
spring.
By his count, at the peak of
this winter, some 17,700 resident
California and transient Oregon
deer were using the lava beds
and bittcrbrush winter range.
That figure, he said, is some
10,000 less than last winter
when the navy's bombing range
shoved deer into the area which
would normally winter east and
south of the lava beds.
Fisher had some interesting
figures for the ratio of bucks to
does and does to fawns for the
two herds, charted not later than
January while the bucks were
carrying antlers.
For the interstate herd the
buck to doe ratio in 1044 was
one to seven, in 1945 was one to
six and this winter has dropped
to one buck for nine docs. For
the Glass mountain herd the ra
tio for the past two winters is
about one buck to four does.
One reason for the slender ra
tio of the transient herd is the
fact that the bucks were shot at
twice once in Oregon and again
in California because of the
different seasons, Fisher be
lieves, and the decline over the
last two years is partly due to
more hunting last season.
Biologists say that for a
healthy, well-balanced herd the
best ratio is one buck to four or
five docs.
Current doe-fawn ratio of the
interstate herd, Fisher figures, is
two to one for does, and of the
Glass mountain deer just a
slightly better sprinkling of
fawns. The ratio of fawns in the
interstate herd has been going
down rapidly in the past few
years. Predators, disease, still
birth, accidents and illegal hunt
ing are all factors in the small
fawn crop.
The watchers also found that
spike bucks are increasing, but
forked horns are on the decline.
Two-pointers are legal game in
Oregon, three-pointers and over
are legal In both states. Four
pointers are a little more numer
ous, however, because the mini
mum of hunting in 1043 and
1944 allowed more of them to
grow up and become wary of
hunters.
Big bucks are way down,
those having more than four
points and 250-poundcrs and
over, generally because of hu
man nature. They're the ones
hunters go for.
Randall McCain, Fremont for
ester also studying the herds,
told the gathering that it was his
observation that California, be
cause of a three-point law, is
carrying over 30 deer for every
shootable buck, but that in the
Fremont forest there was a legal
buck for every six deer grazing.
He advanced the Idea that
deer is a crop that should be
managed just the same as cattle
or sheep, the herds a public busi
ness and the forage a public re
source. A rancher who slaughtered
only the heaviest and best-conditioned
animals of his herd, as is
being done to the deer herds, or
who left his lamb to ewe or calf
to cow ratio dwindle as the doe
to fawn ratio is, would soon go
broke, McCain asserted.
Driving down to Alturas in
the afternoon persons attending
the meeting from Klamath Falls
spotted numerous groups of deer
within a few hundred yards of
the highway, just north of the
border checking station, and
coming back at n l g h t noticed
that the deer had come right up
to the edge of the highway to
feed.
The browse did not appear too
good.

years in Bartlcsville, Okla.,

grueling eliminations weeded
the weaklings from the un
welldy, B4-teum field.
BartlesviUe s Phillips B0 Oil
ers, looking as mugnificcnt as
ever in a Bli-ll) rout of Torring
ton, Wyo., still loomed large as
the team to beat and tlio conserv
ative betting men still figured
the Okluhoman's most serious
challenges would come from the
ranks of the old reliables who
have dominated this nationwide
cage classic for a decade.
Uut it will be a rough roud to
Saturday's f inula und there urc a
couple of service teams that will
have youth nnd stamina on their
side when they tangle witli the
"big names" of cngedom.
Looking particularly impres
sive among the newcomers in
Sunday's play were the sun

PORTLAND, Ore.. March 18
(l) The Portland Eagles, tak
ing last night's Northern Divi
sion Poclfic const hockey lcoguc
game from the Vancouver Ca
nucks, 5 to 3, need one more win
to cop the division title.
The Eagle's victory gave them
a two to one edge in the title
playoff scries, and If they take
tomorrow's game here, the scr
ies Is In their bag.
Up until the first eleven min
utes of the second period, Port
land had all the scoring, with the
lead piled to 4-0. Tho Canucks
finally scored their three mark
ers, two in the remaining lime
of the second, and one in the
third. , ,
The Canadians tried some
rough stuff near the end of the
game, but the confident Eagles
Just tightened up around their
goal and held the score until the
finish.
78-29, in their tournament bow.
The lengthy marines from
Camp LcJeunc, N. C, also ap
peared capable of making trou
ble for almost anyone as they
outscored the Old Home Bread
team from Sioux City, Iowa., 86

service club was that from Camp
Hood, Texas, which coasted to
an cosy 55-30 win over Lowry
field of Denver and seemed to
be saving up for its second round
test tomorrow against Phillips

Gundcr Haegg, Andersson
Ruled Professional
By Secret Conclave
STOCKHOLM, March 18 ()
Sweden's famed running twins,
Gundcr Haegg and Arne Anders
son, have come to the end of
their record-breaking trail.
The two outstanding middle
distance racers, who hold eignt
world standards between them
and who came within less than
two seconds of achieving the
four minute "dream" mile, were
declared professionals yesterday
by the Swedish Athletic associa
tion board and barred from
amateur competition for life.
In one of the most sweeping
actions in amateur sports his
tory, the board, after nolding a
secret two-day conference on an
island in Lake Maclcr, not only
ruled out Haegg and Andersson
but also penalized seven other
runners of lesser reputation for
infractions of amateur regula
tions. Other Swedlsn athletes in
volved in the investigations
which began last November were
cleared because of "insufficient
proof. The Swedish press said
they numbered between 30 and
40.
While the board did not re
veal the amount of money
Haegg and Andersson were ac
cused of receiving for partici
pating in track meets, a reliable
source told the Associated Press
they acknowledged receiving
40,000 crowns (approximately
$10,000) when asked to make a
report to the association. Swe
dish sports writers generally es
timatcd their financial rewards
"at more than 75,000 crowns'
($18,500).
(In New York. Dan Ferris,
secretary-treasurer of the A.A.U.,
uho handled HaeEK's U. S. tours
in 1943 and 1945, said the Swe
dish swiftie received only $1 a
day for incidental expenses
while he was here in addition to
allowances for meals, hotels and
transportation).

For Headline Event
A tag team match is definitely
in the bag as the headline event
of Thursday's wrestling menu.
In one corner will be Tough
Tony Ross, Salem's rassling
glamor boy, and his partner for
the evening, Martino Angelo,
and in the other nook will be
Angelo Martinelli and his help
mate, cauliflower-eared Al Szasz.
Betwixt and between will be
Bob Keneston as referee.
The tag match will go until
one side loses two falls, with a
time limit of one hour. Idea of
the sensational muscling clam
bake is for one member of each
duo to be in the ring while the
other partners remain outside
the hemp in their respective cor
ners. .
The silent partners must keep
one hand on the corner turn
buckle at all times.
When one of the grapplers
in the ring gets' in a bad spot
it behooves him to work over
to his corner if possible and tag
his waiting partner, who may
stretch an arm as far as possible
over the top rope. .
When the junction is made,
the heretofore inactive partner
may clamber through the ropes
