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-

He will be out of action from
four to six weeks.
Laycoe said Head had been

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

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.

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

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.
Tickets for the large night of
wrestling are available locally
at Dick Boeder's Men's Store
and at the Woldorf, with regu
lar prices in elfect at $2 for
ringside, $1.50 for general ad
mission and 75 cents for children.

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.

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. And
the three ring officials favored

Honkers Seen
In SCL Play
By BILL GOULD
Herald and News Snorts Editor
The second year in the Siski
you County League awaits the
Tulelake Honkers, wilh three
lcttcrmcn and a transfer veter
an the group around which
coach Darrell LaRuo will seek
to build a winner.
LaRuc, in his first year of
guiding the Honker cage desti
nies, welcomed an initial turn
out of 40 aspirants of which 12
to 15 will be carried in tlie var
sity roster.
Last year the Honkers posted
a 2-8 record in their first year
of play in SCL action end end
ed tlie season with an overall
record of 5-11.
"Although we lost four start
ers and a total of eight off the
varsity, we still should have a
good year," is the optimistic
look by tho head man.
"I don't mean we'll tear the
league apart, but still I feel we
have good varsity material.
The Honkers appear to have
sufficient height with our can
didates standing 6-3.
Returning from last year's
five arc Kurt Thomas at cen
ter and standing 6-3; Johnny
Brown, 5-10 guard and Rick
Pringcr, also 5-10 and a guard.
A transfer lelterman from
Yreka is Ralph Bcttis standing
6-3 and figured to go either at
center or forward.
Thomas, Brown, and Pringer
arc all one-year men and all
seniors, while flctlis is a junior.
Adding strength to the Honk
er cause are three candidates
up from the junior varsity in
Gary Tatum and Bruce Young,
both 6-3 and both juniors and
Bcb Fensler (5-11) at eltlicr for
ward or guard.
Numerous oilier candidates
arc available from last year's
JV squad.

Las Vegas
Named As
Title Site
LAS VEGAS. Nev. (UPI) -
Las Vegas has been picked as
the site for the rich Sonny Lis-,
ton - Cassius Clay heavyweight
title fight, it was learned Satur
day, and the date will be Feb.
24 or 25.
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
