Oregon Tech Wrestlers Nearisig 64 Campaign Owl Mentor Counts Four Veterans, Top Freshmen Start Of 1963 UVt i w VERL MILLER xperlence By DAN L. EASTMAN Game Biologist Prior to the opening of the 1963 general deer season, local hunters were advised of the prospects for improved success in mule deer on the basis of an improved yearling buck picture. This optimism was based on high fawn survival through the preceding winter, upwards to 25 per cent better than in 1952. With the cooperation of en forcement personnel of the state police, a total of 343 buck deer were checked during the sea son. The animals are classified as to number of points and cate gorized into the unit or general summer range of the appropri ate winter herds. It is well recognized that an tler development in deer is a product of the food supply. The evidence further suggests that the condition of the animal leav ing the winter range is a ma jor factor in this antler develop ment despite the abundant food supply of summer ranges. For example, the incidence of spike bucks in mule deer from year to year shows close correl ation to the food supply associat ed with the severity of the win ter. The greatest precision in eval uating the importance of the yearling (16 months) in the kill is possible only through check- Buckaroo To Have Operation PORTLAND UPI - Port land goalie Don Head w ill un dergo surgery for a torn carti lege in his left knee as soon as possible, general manager and coach Hal Laycoe said Friday night. Head was scheduled to fly here Saturday from San Fran cisco, where the Western Hockey League team is playing. He will be out of action from four to six weeks. Laycoe said Head had been playing all season with the in jury. Dave Kelly. Head's replace ment, played in his sixth game for the Bucks Friday night and automatically ended his ama teur status. Chargers Try Oiler In Top AFL By United Press International The powerful San Diego Chargers take on the well-rested Houston Oilers Sunday in the first of a home-and-home series in which Coach Sid Gillman's men can help determine their likely opponent in the American Football League's championship playolf. The Boston Patriots are at home to the Buffalo Bills in an important Eastern Division game and the New York Jets are host to the Kansas City Chiefs in two other Sunday games that were postponed for one week because of the death of President Kennedy. Hoton. which had a be on Nov. 17 and thus has not played (it three weeks, holds a pre carious lead over both Boston and Buffalo in the Eastern race. The Oilers are 6-4. compared to 3-3-1 for the Patriots and i1ii'iaim ifVWriiVa'i asl Valuable ing the dentition. This is an im possibility most of the time due to the nature of gathering much of the kill data. For this reason, reference is often made to the spike-forked horn classes of deer as being a useful indicator of the trend in percentage of year lings in the kill, year to year. In the best years, a number of yearling bucks might develop small three point antlers which would minimize the spike-forked horn class. Conversely, a poor antler development year such as 1962 would result in a signifi cant number of older bucks en tering the kill as forked horns, thus inflating the spike-forked horn classes. A number of ques tionable forked horn and small three-point bucks will normally be checked by dentition to deter mine the significance of these variables. The experiences of hunters, their success and the check of buck deer during the 19S3 sea son corroborates the predictions for an improved season, despite weather conditions which persist, ed in favor of the deer rather than the hunter. Of the deer checked. 62 per cent (ell in the spike-foiked horn class as compared to 53 per cent in 1962. a year of hi"h inci dence of older deer inflating the forked horn class. This repre sents a minimum of a 15 per cent increase in the "yearling" take compared to 1962. If the pattern of preceding seasons persists, the two-year-olds (28 months! will increase in the kill in 1964 coming on strong as three points. The (lata yet to be collected regarding this year s fawn production and survival over-winter w ill be the key to anticipated yearling bucks for 1964 and the poten tial for a further improvement in hunter success.

Ik -r HANK ISENHART 4 Stance By JUDY AUDSLEY (Brunswick Advisory Staff) Written for NBA It is easy to get off on the wrong foot in any sport espe cially bowling. The whole busi ness of bowling begins even be fore you take your first slcp. It starts with the stance. Many teen-agers are such ea ger beavers that they want to rush right into the delivery, without thought to getting set in the proper stance as an es sential preliminary. The stance is the launching pad and it should be just righl for best results. Stand erect but not stiff. This gives your mind and body a chance to ready themselves for the per fect coordination and timing that is so essential to a smooth approach and a perfectly deliv ered ball. While you're in the stance, think of exactly how you plan to deliver the ball. Once you start to move, you won't have much time for reassessing your strategy. The largest and the smallest. This is the lineup for profes sional wrestling fans in the sec ond card of the season slated for the Klamath Falls auditori um Wednesday night. In the second appearance on the local mat, matchmaker El ton Owen has put together one of the most interesting cards in many a moon as the world's largest wrestler, Haystack Cal houn. 601 pounds, and t h e world's smallest, the wrestling midgets, appear. A pair of tag-team matches will highlight the evening's ac tion, with Haystack and Abe Jacobs teaming against Soldat Gorky and Gil Ane in one match and the midgets offer ing their version of the tag team as Sky Low Low and Irish Jackie team against Tiny Tim and Billy the Kid. Haystack and Jacobs have teamed in the past and have yet to be defeated as a two some. Jacobs was a big hit here three weeks ago as he defeat ed Gorky on a disqualification.

Ily BILL GOULD Herald and News Sports Editor Oregon Tech w restling mentor Howard Morris terms the out look for the coming season "good." The Owl head man bases this observation on the (act the Owls count four veterans as a nucle us (or forming a winner and look to the services of (our prep state champions and a pair of state runners-up joining the Owl ranks. Last year the Owls moved to a 9-1 dual match record and were third in the Oregon Col legiate Conference grapple tour- i namcnt. j Reluming for another year of I action is two-year veteran Hank !

Ex-Pioneer Coach Has Problems At Idaho MOSCOW, Idaho (UPD -Little Jim Goddard, new head basketball coach at the Univer sity of Idaho, faces the problem this season of replacing four out of five starters from the 1962-63 club whose 20-6 mark was one of the finest in recent Vandal history. Replacing them will be no mean task since those four add ed up to a bunch of talent that was one of the finest on the West Coast. Among them was Gus John son, the 6-foot-6 Akron acrobat who ranked second in the na tion in rebounds and scored 438 points. A graduation loss was fans has almost matched the number of adult fans attending. The big night of action will be opened by Klamath Falls' Buck Davidson meeting Jacobs and Gorky trying popular Nick Ko zak in the other prelim.

Miller from Burns and prep state A-2 champ in the same di vision; John Norton, also from Bums and state champ two years in the A-2 157-pound class and OCC runner-up last vear: and Don Branch from Sweet Home. In their first year at Oregon Tech are Chuck Milanovich, the first state champion in the siwt from Henley last year w restling in the 148-pound class: and state champions Mike Bik'dihack (157 from North Eugene; John Thennes (1231 from Oakland and Noah Wright (1781 from Willamina. State runners-up last year now with the Owls are Jerry Thom as of Gold Beach and Kurt Rog ers from McCall, Idaho. Another top first-year man is West Linn's outstanding 157 pound TYV League champion Don Read, a member of the Lion team of last year which won both the district and league titles. Read was also named the "Most Outstanding" wrestler in the TYV circuit last year. Others are Terry Bond, dis trict champion from Vale and Larry Lietz, district runner-up from McMinnville. Last year's Owl team collect ed 66 individual victories while losing 21 over the season's cam paign and recorded 18 wins via the pin route. Chuck White, whose 501 points helped him garner just about every scoring mark in the Ida ho record book. The others were Rich Porter and Lyle Parks. The 1,492 points scored by that quartet won't be easy to make up. But the 5-foot-5 coach, who might be mistaken for t h e freshman manager by unin formed fans, faces the coming year with optimism. This will be Idaho's first year in the new Big Sky Conference and Goddard figures that every body in the loop is starting out on equal footing. The lone first string returnee is Tom Whitfield, a 6-foot-5 sen ior whom Goddard is counting on to be the steadying influence for his young team. Whitfield scored 235 points last year and grabbed 187 rebounds. "Tom will have to be the team's inspiration this year," Goddard says. "I know he's not the holler guy or floor leader type, but lie can teach the young players a lot with his desire and ability." Goddard has lcttcrmcn re turning at each position and that should serve as a nucleus around which he hopes to build a respectable mark this season. Tom Morcland, 6-foot-7, 215 pounds, a junior from Cocur d' Alene, will handle the center chores. He scored 28 points and snared 43 rebounds spelling Johnson. Bill Mattis, a 6-foot-l senior from Cocur d'Alcnc, and Terry llcnscn. a 6-foot-2 junior from Kent, Wash., will team up at guard while Chuck Kozak, a 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, will pair with Whitfield at forward. Mattis, Hcnsun and Kozak scored 131 points and pulled down 100 rebounds in relief a year ago. Monday's opener here against the Wolfpack of the University of Nevada should give some in dication of how far this group of Vandals has to go in making the transition from reservists to first line performers. The big test for the Vandals comes during the Christmas break when they compete in the All-College Tournament at Okla homa City. Goddard says he Icclj that a "well-rounded team is better than one with a (cw great in dividuals." But by midyear he may he thinking that one great individual might have made a big diflerence.

HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Tulelake Stronger Perso! Eyes Cotton Bout NEW YORK (UPD - Unbeat en Johnny Persol. Brooklyn's substitute .light heavyweight, asked Saturday for a fight with top-ranking Eddie Cotton as a reward for Friday night's upset unanimous decision over ninth rated Allen Thomas. Persol, a professional for only 11 months, registered his 10th straight victory in his first 10 rounder, his first main event at Madison Square Garden and his first nationally televised fight. "1 can do a lot better,"' ex plained Johnny. "I tensed up loo much and set too fast a puce in tlie early rounds and then felt tired. But I snapped out of it at the end. Watch me against Cotton, if he'll fight." Persol, a stablcniate of welt erweight champion Emile Grif fith, has confidence ajid ability to back it up. Otherwise he would not have accepted last week tlie substituting job against ex - champion Archie Moore's highly touted Thomas of Chicago. Moore is his ad visor. Persol slopped in when con tender Mauro Mina of Peru was banned from the fight because o( previous seorct eye surgery. A presidential memorial post ponement gave Persol anollier week to train. Persol, a 12-3 underdog, weighed 174' j to Thomas' 172', and he was givon an 11-1 vole of confidence by a poll of ring side writers at the finish.

Announcement tliat tlie "$7 million fight" will be staged at the attractive Las Vegas con vention Center on the last Mon day or Tuesday of February will be made early this week, says an authoritative source. Apparently Clay s Selective Service board at Louisville, Ky.. will grant him a February chance to win the wwld heavy weight crown before inducting the 21-year-old dtallcnger into service. Other cities tliat had been bidding for the big fight were Miami Beach, Los Angeles, Min neapolis and Chicago. Contracts for tlie 15-round fight between Champion Liston of Denver, Colo., and Clay of Louisville were signed at Den ver on Nov. 5 with the site and date to be chosen later. Two factors gave the fight to Las Vegas: Liston likes Nevada's gamb ling metropolis w h e r e . he knocked out ex-champion Floyd Patterson in tlie first round of their return fight, July 22. A Vegas fight will leave all the large population centers of the country open for theatre television, which will produce most of the bout's revenue
