EASTMAN Game Biologist There is a deer problem in the Pokegama winter range, wholly unrelated to antlerless Seasons, special archery hunts or a host of other explanations offered by certain imaginative individuals. The problem is one of production and survival of young, the net increment to the basic herd that provides .the harvestable surplus. The Pokegama blacktailed deer winter range lies along the Oregon-California border north of the Klamath River and ex tending approximately from Big Bend west into Jackson County and contiguous with other relat ed wintering herds. The current problem here involves summer survival of fawns. In 1959, net fawn survival to the fall rut peaked at 67 fawns per 100 does following a low year of 58 to 100. Since then, the fawn ratio has been declin ing. Over the past four years, the average fawn ratio is near ly 20 per cent below the pre vious four years. What of the biological cause for the problem? First, the known potential of blacktailed deer reproduction would nor mally exceed 150 fawns per 100 adult does as embryos. The addition of a substantial num ber of unbred "jearlings" to the doe group, following a. year of high fawn production and sur vival, would have only slight in fluence on the net measurable result in the fall. At any raie, the best ratio since 1956 of net survival to the fall from the potential of better than one to one has been 67 to 100 in 1959. Buck ratios have consistently been one to five or better for the docs. so. logically, this is not the problem. The four-year decline of fawns coincides with the four unfa vorable range production years starting one year previous, 1959 through 1962 which had a simi lar measurable impact on mule deer herds. However, mule deer have responded favorably LSU Sees Problem With Bears HOUSTON IUPI) - Louisiana State's biggest problem in Sat urday's Bluebonnet Bowl game against Baylor will be stopping an offense that many coaches say "can't possibly work in col lege football." At least they were saying this until Coach John Bridgers Bears won seven of 10 games this season against topflight competition and came within a hair of beating the nation's number one team, Texas. Bridgers did it with a pro style offense that has quarter back Don Trull passing out of protective pocket, flankers scur rying hither and yon and a gen uine Iwo-platoon system. Trull went on to become the nation's top passer, breaking several conference and national records. USU. with an identical 73 rec ord, is expected to ptoy a ball control and defensive game against the pas-happy Bears Baylor is a two-point tavonte. CHIP DIP srAtrr fiAvotei HERALD AND NEWS, MAJOR BOWL this year to the mild winter of 1963 whereas the Pokegama herd did not. Barring a host of intangible, speculative possibilities, there is one other single situation per tinent to this area that could explain the decline. The fall off in fawn survival coincides with the lifting of intensive win ter predator control activities by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, caused partly by the 1961 liberation of fisher north of Highway 66 and the end of sheep grazing south of the high way. In the spring of 1962, a meet ing, was held in Medford with major resource groups and landowners to review the prob- lem, confirm the value of the area for recreational hunting and to ascertain conflicts in re source management. Obviously, the area including the vast summer range of the deer herd has a high timber value and direct unreasonable conflict with this resource would not be jus tified. Evolving from this meeting, among other things, was an agreement for restoration of winter predator control activi ties on government lands. This is being carried out by a gov ernment trapper this winter and it is hoped, this will benefit future summer fawn survival, and in turn, the sportsmen. As Hank DeVoss, lledford sportsman - writer, so aptly put it last March in reviewing the meeting, "There are very few simple problems and fewer sim ple answer that satisfy the whole problem." How much easier it is to lay blame on "doe-shooting." Someday, it is hoped more sportsmen will understand that a reasonable balance between forage and deer numbers is foremost in the game manag er's mind and if there is gen eral public defiance to the ap plication of proper management tools relating to harvest, then the immeasurable losses to predators, disease or. vehicles are essentially a loss beneficial for the resource, at the suf ferance of the sportsmen. On the other hand, there may be times and instances in which a factor limiting the harvestable deer numbers from year to year may be partially alleviated permitting greater potential abundance for enjoyment. This goal might well be more vig orously pursued with a bit of public understanding and sup port. Following is fall composition of Pokegama deer herd with year, fawns per 100 does, bucks per 100 does and herd percen tages of bucks, does and fawns in that order: 1963. 48, 23. 13 per cent, 59 per cent, 28 per cent; 11162, 48. 28, 16 per cent, 57 per cent. 27 per cent: 1961, 50. 21, 12 per cent, 58 per cent, 30 per cent: 1960. 58. 25. 13 per cent, 55 per cent. 32 per cent: 1959. 67. 18. 10 per cent. 54 per cent. 36 per cent: 1958. 58. 27, 15 per cent, 54 per cent, 31 per cent: 1957, 63, 41, 20 per cent, 49 Dr cent, 31 per cent. w T Q MIAMI SALESMAN WANTED Btnttintjlofi $tt)l Bltfftl.

Pepitone Watches ' By United Press International Chin up and head erect, Joe Pepitone sat there in the dark, fixed his eyes on the screen and saw the error of his ways. When the liglits came up aft er a special screening of the 1963 World Series Wednesday, Pepitone purposefully walked across the room and made his way over to Ralph Houk, the Yankees' former manager re cently elevated to general man ager. "I didn't watch the last game," Pepitone dead-panned to Houk. "How did H come out?" Both men laughed because they knew tlic picture ended the same way as lite book with Pcpitone's error leading to a tie-breaking run that gave the Dodgers a 2-1 victory and a four-game sweep of the series. "I saw the ball this time," said Pepitone, one of the six members of the Yankees to see the 37-minule color film at Toots Shor's restaurant, "but I still didn't catch it."

This will be up for grabs at Areata, Calif., Friday night as the Oregon Tech Owls face the Humboldt State Lumberjacks. Both teams will be seeking the first triumph of the season in the first game of two-game set at Areata. The Owls of Jim Partlow take a 0-5 record into the series and the Lumberjacks are 0-4. Both teams dropped a pair of con tests over the past weekend to Northwest Conference teams. The Owls were stopped twice with little difficulty by (lie Pa cific Badgers and the Lumber jacks were downed by the Wil lamette Bearcats at Salem tw ice the first contest an over time fray. The Owls have been working this week in an attempt to in crease their offensive potential which in the first three contests found three of the starting five scoring well, but last weekend the scoring punch limited to the two smallest men on the club in 5-4 Ralph Anderson and 5-8 Mike G lines. Against the Badgers last Fri day and Saturday, Anderson hit for 12 and 17 points and Glincs 11 and 16. This lack of overall team scoring has been the cause of much concern for the Owl head man and methods of remedy ing the situation has been the prime target in practice ses sions.

Hunting Improves PORTLAND (UPH - Here is the weekly hunting report pre pared by the State Game Com mission. Northwest: Duck hunting lias improved in the mid-Willamette Valley but lack of standing wa ter in the Sauvie kland game management area has slowed shooting there. Northeast: Thawing conditions are opening up more water In the Grande Ronde Valley and good-sized numbers of geese and ducks are using both Cold Springs and MoKay reservoirs. Fog and low clouds continue to improve hunting prospects along the Columbia River in Umatilla and Morrow counties. Excellent hunting conditions are forecast for special deer season opening this weekend at Medical Springs and Shaw Mountain. Southeast: Fair shooting for Canada geese is the prospect at Goose and hummer lakes and in Warner and Harney valleys. Another Special Group Just Arrived in Time for Christmas!

Dean, aided by members of the varsity football team, has spent the last three weeks dril ling more than 100 girls for the 10th annual tackle football game between the Powders and the Puffs at Lee High School. Many high schools have or ganized touch football games for girls, but Dean said he knows of no other area where the girls play tackle football. The girls, clad in full football regalia from helmets to cleats, take the game seriously and there is no horseplay on the practice field. Drilled Strenuously They engage in strenuous cal isthenics and are thoroughly drilled in blocking and tackling fundamentals. "When they first started they didn't know a back from a line man," Dean said. "But they are very eager. They under stand that discipline comes No. 1 out on that field." The girls are studious, keep notebooks on the plays taught them, and play a rough brand of football. "They hit pretty hard."

Wagner Upset Shocks By United Press International A national reputation works its magic in various ways. For New York University, one of the largest schools in the world, it is proving a disastrous weapon. For Davidson, which has a male enrollment of only 1.000, it's a spur for further fame. And for Cincinnati, long accustomed to a place in tho limelight, it's a matter of ac cepted routute. ' NYU, rated seventh among the country's college basketball teams and considered a good shot in pro-season polls for the national championship, fell vic tim to little Wagner College, 77- 76, in overtime Wednesday night in one of the major shocks of the campaign. ' It was merely supposed to be a tuneup for the Vdlets for next week's big Los Angeles Clas sic. It may well mark their finish as a power. Davison, for many years an also-ran in the Southern Con ference until a second - place finish last season, continued its resurgence by routing Fur man, 69-63. It was the sixth victory in as many starts for tlie Wildcats, who squeezed into a tic for d 0th place in the latest UPI ratings. Cincinnati is an old story as far as success is concerned and well-used to tlie pressure that goes hand-ui-hand with recog nition. The Bearcats, currently ranked No. 5, ran over Color ado, 82-64, Wednesday night to end tlie Buffaloes' home court winning streak at 28 games.
