KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 13 A OUT OF DOORS with By Clayton Hannon Modernization of industry and I general ways of living is also showing its effect on the bilsiness I of supplying fishermen with more and better tisning conditions throughout the state of Oregon. The Oregon siaie uame com missions big worn through the spring and summer months is to stock fish in most all streams and lakes throughout the state.. There are two methods of stocking these trout, the first by liberation truck, the other through the use of an airplane. The latter of these two methods was used in this area last week when Sam Whitney piloted his new piper Cub over 40 lakes and res ervoirs in Southern Oregon while dropping 66,000 trout to freedom. Whitney's time in stocking thes! 40 bodies of water was only two days, a very small fraction of the time it once iook 10 ieaa a pack train through the wilds to each and every little lake mat was to be stocked by the commission. Whitney, a New berg crop duster who contracts for fish liberation 'ork from the game commission, bas been dropping fish for the state for 11 years. Sam works out of every state hatchery e few days at a time, hitting the high and bard-to-get-to lakes throughout the itate. It s a hard and sometimes risky business, but he has always delivered his load. The stocking by plane methods are used only in the areas that cannot be reached by truck. Of the 66,000 fish Whitney plant- Local Archers Slate Shoot Approximately 70 archers, mem bers of Klamath Archers, Incorpo rated, are expected to compete on Sunday in the annual club trophy shoot at the archery range at Moore Park, according to Merle Hodges, president.

Game com mission checks show the mortal. ity rate of this type of stocking very, very small, and some times does not even show. Whitney, who uses the Indian Reservation air strip as a take-off and landing spot, likes to drop his cargo at around 150 to 200 feet, depending upon the condi tions and size of the lake he is hitting. His minimum preference is iuu ieei. Some of the lakes Whitney stocked last week with fineerlinos which will be legal fish next year included the Seven Lakes and Sky Lanes basins, Red Lake. South Pass, Big and Little Twin. Horseshoe, Round, South Blue and Island Lakes. The Rosary Lakes were planted this week. Art Gerlach, local fisheries bio logist also reported liberation truck stockings were heavy last week. All the streams In this area such as Wood end Williamson rivers, Sevenmile and Spring creeks, Lake of the Woods, Devils Lake, Spen cer Creek and many other favor ite fishing holes were planted with both fingerling and legal size fish. Lake of the Woods was stocked with 350,000 fingerling trout, most of which were Eastern Brooks. The addition of the brookies will give the lake more fishing interest next year when these fish will become "legals." Rex Hunsaker and Wally Palm- berg, football and basketball coach respectively at Oregon Tech, had some fine fishing a week ago when they invited Carl Cluff of the Ore gon Journal sports department for a two-day fishing trip. The threesome fished the waters of Williamson River and had good luck with lots of work. Rex and Carl fished Monday and picked off six. Tuesday, Palmberg joined the two and between the three of them they bagged 10 more nice fish. The size of the 16 ranged from two or three about 11 Inches up to 24 Inches. Palmberg lost one in sight of the other two com panionsthat was guessed to be in the neighborhood of 10 to 12 pounds. Lake of the Woods fishing was good last Saturday and Sun day for George and Jane Fawver of Klamath Falls. Saturday the lo cal couple picked off a limit, and on Sunday they limited out. Both were using silver trolling flasners with worms. Saturday's action was slowed a little by the rain storms. The Poly-Choke Company of Hartford, Connecticut, has come out with the final announcement on its newest thing in shotgun shoot ing. The firm has put on tne mar ket a Poly-Matic, a new complete ly automatic shotgun choke. The choke is available in an gauges, and custom-installation is handled in the same way as for a Poly- Choke through the factory or authorized Poly-Choke installers throughout the world. Further information on the Poly- Matic can be picked up at sport- ins pood dealers and gun shops that handle Poly-Chokes or by writ ing the company at Box 296, Hart ford, Connecticut. . For gunners like us, this couldn't make much of a dent in the num ber of birds we usually get, and what's more it may add a lucky charm to our shooting. It couldn't be any worse. : : 1 : - - . I - PNW Thinks Big; Eyeing Pro Cagers PORTLAND. Ore. (UPI) Thei fast-growing Pacific Northwest is tninKing Dig league, too. But the first item on the budget won't be pro football or big league baseball it'll be professional bas ketball. Harry Gliekman, handsome young Portland promoter, already has his application in with the National Basketball Association and the day Los Angeles and San Francisco get their NBA franchis es, Portland will be in the big leagues. Gliekman has been correspond- Tiger Bagged Says Boss CHICAGO (UPI) - Tony Vone, co-manager of conquered heavy weight Wayne Bethea, charged today his fighter's defeat by Sonny Liston Wednesday night was bagged. "The referee never should have stopped the fight," Vone said Sure, he was bleeding, but it was from the gums and not from cuts, and he wasn t hurt. Vone charged after referee Bernie Weissman in the ring after he halted ihe bout at 1:09 of the first round yelling it was "in the bag. I can see it m your face. I can see it in your eyes." Bethea, knocked down for the first time in his 28 pro fights, said he never was groggy or hurt, and "he never should have stopped the fight." Frank Gilmer, chairman of the Illinois Athletic Commission and former referee, said "If I'd been the referee, I'd have done exactly the same thing. "When a boxer is hit and turns completely around and makes no effort to face his opponent and staggers off to the side still with his back to his opponent and gives every appearance or not having his faculties, the only thing a referee can do is protect the fighter from possible serious injury," he said. Gilmer said that if Vone does not bring his charges before the commission, he would be re quested to appear for a hearing to show proof of his charges or his license would be revoked. Truman Gibson, president of the International Boxing Club, of fered champion Floyd Patterson $250,000 to defend his title against Liston because "he's not one of those slappy guys, but a real puncher and the kind of fighter who can breathe life into the division." ing with NBA President Maurice Podoloff and has been assured he'll be given every consideration We figure that the new expos ition building here will be ready by June of 1960, said Gliekman "That's about the time they'll be ready in Los Angeles. And that means all three cities can go into tne NBA together. PLENTY OF ROOM Gliekman already has a con tract with the city of Portland for the new exposition building, which is being constructed in a recreation area at a cost of $8 million. The exposition building will seat 11,000 for basketball just slightly less than the San rrancisco Cow Palace and the new building in Los Angeles. We have a population of 750,- 000 within a radius of 30 miles of . down-town Portland," says Gliekman, "and this is a fast growing area. The fans here are thirsting for any kind of major league sports. "I promote professional football exhibition games. We have one soon between the San Francisco Forty Niners and the Washington Redskins and we expect to pack Multnomah Stadium with 30.000 fans. We usually draw that kind tor an exhibition football game, RECORD DRAW "In big league baseball, the San Francisco Giants recent ly played here and drew 26,0001 which was labeled the biggest crowd to see a baseball game west of the Mississippi and north of Los Angeles. The St. Louis Cardinals are slated for an ex hibition game here on Monday ana tney expect 30,000 for that. Gliekman says he believes pro basketball team in Portland would "easily" average better than 5,000 per game or 180,000 for the home season. "With a winning team, course," he added, "I think we would do much better." Gliekman, despite his youth, is no novice in the promotion game. He has promoted pro football, the Globetrotters, ice shows and boxing matches. He studied under the fine hand of Seattle's Jack Hurley. And with that master touch, he should have no problems. PCC Dissolution Has Bright Spots PORTLAND. Ore. (UPI) The death-knell of the 43-year-old Pa cific Coast Conference will be sounded here on Saturday and Sunday but out of the ashes may arise something better. Six schools already have an nounced their intention to with draw from the dissension-ridden athletic organization leaving only Oregon, Oregon State and Idaho remaining. And there are indica tions that the Oregon schools will join in the land-slide vote. The best guess now is that the eight teams then will operate as independents, with Idaho oif most of the schedules. 'As Independents," said school official who refused to be quoted, "we still would play our usual schedule with most of us meeting five or six of the others from the PCC each season. AIRPLANE FISH PLANTING The Oregon State Game Commission is currently in the middle of a mammoth stocking-by-airplane move this month. Last week high lakes in this area were stocked with 66,000 trout by this method. Above left, game commission biologist Art Gerlach weighs out a bucket of fingerling to be dropped by the' plane. Center, a game commission employe Dick Bonn of Salem, in turn, empties the bucket of fish into a container on the back of a pickup, ready to be hauled to the air strip and changed over to the plane. At the right, pilot Sam Whitney, back to camera, and Bonn dump the fish from the pickup container into the three tanks on Whitney's Piper Cub. Bottom center, Whitney drops down over a small Oregon lake to empty his load. All fish planted by air are fingerling size, two to three inches. CHAMP SIDELINED ST. JEAN DE LUX, France (UPI) World bahtamweicht boxing champion Alphonse Halimi may be sidelined from ring activi ties for months. The Algerian-I bom boxer cut an artery in his left hand Tuesday while slicing bread and lost a great deal of blood. OTI Boosters Map Plans For Sports Season Tickets The 1958 Oregon Tech athletic ticket sale takes on a new look this year as members of the Owl Hoots. OTI booster organization, plan an all-sports season ticket for Tech athletic fans. For the first time, Oregon Tech's athletic department has issued an all-sports season ticket which in cludes all athletic events, plus a reserved seat in football season. The price of this year-around tick et is $12.50. Athletic Director Rex Hunsaker revealed that between football and basketball home games, the price for entir year would be $19.50. By buying an all-season ticket, fans will be saving $7. The football schedule has five contention at the meeting this weekend. There is $175,000 in the PCC coffers, obtained when UCLA. USC, California and Washington were "fined" by having their share of the Rose Bowl spoils dur- . ing certain seasons withheld. Some claim that the four schools already have withdrawn from the conference and therefore the mon ey should be split among the five remaining. Some think it should be split nine ways. Others that any school that resigns from the conference would lose Its share. As things stand now, with six schools signifying they'll quit, that would leave the whole pot for the three schools remaining. While it is a foregone conclusion that the conference will collapse completely at the meeting here, there is some hope. Coach Len Casanova of Oregon Wednesday issued a plea asking that tne "Thic lnv.nnt clitl rmiM hA ucpri the basis for picking a West scnooi auinoriues reeonsiuer uicir ist Rose Bowl representative, decisions "because college '"ot- Coast Rose Bowl representati "And if they played the ex-PCC schools enough games, such teams as Arizona (Tempo) State, College of Pacific and San Jose State thus also would become eligible for the post-season game. The distribution of the big mon ey involved, however, would be another problem. In fact, some of the Rose Bowl money will be a major bone of ball would be a failure in the West without a major conference." Another guess is that the four California schools will form soma sort of a conference; or that they'll join a transcontinental loop with top teams from coast to coast. Still another suggestion is that the Oregon and Washingon schools may join with College o! Pacific and Arizona fTempe) State, and College of Pacific. GET ON THE VODKA WAGON WITH home games. Baseball and the Owls conference championship track team would also come under the all-year ticket. The Owl Hoots plan to conduct their ticket sale via mail within the week. Booster club president country have been using this sys idea, but indicated it is working very well around other small col lege circles. "Other sections of the country have boon using this s-s tern for some time now," Galla gher stated, "and have been hav ing good results, both in number sold and the fans reaction." Those persons having reserved seats at football games in the past will have their same seats this year under the new ticket sale if they want.
