trcm. uidpibid WALTON WAILING WALL Izaak Walton leaguers in earch of better fishing condi tion at Crater lake held a round table conference with leaders of the local national park Friday nd for two hours were told what stood In the way. In the course of the meeting, presided over by Park Superin tendent E. P. Leavitt, the fol lowing things came out: 1. "Due to Ttir sudd.n changes in Crater lake weath er and the fact that the lake can be changed from a calm water to whitecaps IS to 20 inches high In the course of 30 minutes and during many storms the white-caps have ris en to three and four foot swells, the lake is Terr hasar dous for light boats." 2. "The body of water has been classified by the United States government as a sea. and all boats Including launches and fishing boats must be construct ed to pass inspection as sea go ing craft. ; 3. Due to these sudden storms and changes of weather and the lack of beach or harbor, it is necessary to take up these boats and transport them across the lake to Wizard island for per manent mooring "each and ev ery night" to keep them from being battered to pieces during the night. For these reasons, according to Leavitt, it is difficult to place a great number of boats on Cra ter lake to accommodate fisher men. Learitt, however, stated he appreciated t h W a 1 tons' viewpoint and believed that, with handling through the proper channels, within the verv near future there will be more beats and taxi service from the boat landing out to various fishing points. Local fishermen for years have been after more and bet ter facilities for Crater lake an gling. To date there has been a ban against beginning the lake descent from the rim before even a. m. and a rule that ev eryone must be back on top by dusk. Both regulations hamper fish ing at its best hours. Another issue governing the use of motors on the lake is currently being bandied. ' Here the prime contention point lies in a balance between park service ends and fisher- men's wants. Both have much in their fa vor. r MAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS By Tha Aoclitd Prw NATIONAL LEAGUE at BATTING Jarget, 'ew York, Slaughter, St, Loui, .353.

Idaho, Montana May Leave Coast Loop Underground Movement Reported To Shove Schools From Conference SAN FRANCISCO, May 13 0V Reports of an underground movement to oust Montana and Idaho from the Pacific Coast conference were met with blank astonishment by faculty repre sentatives of the two universities, but the rumor persisted today the two league "orphans" were slated to make their exit in 1943, the year they had expected to assume full membership status. Official circles in the power-1 - f u 1 "Big Four" California schools declined to confirm or deny the reports, but it was be lieved the proposition would come up for a vote at the June 9-10 conference meeting at Se attle. "Astonished" Dean T. S. Kern, Idaho's conference representative, said he was "astonished" at the story. "I have had absolutely no inkling from the conference or from any member there was even the possibility of such a thing," he asserted. I am inclined to doubt the story." Montana Athletic Direc tor Douglas Fessenden said. It is certainly news to us." Representatives at Washing ton State college, a regular con ference member, also disclaimed knowledge of any such action. By "Big Four" The reports said the move ment was initiated by the "Big Four" California, Stanford. Southern California and UCLA because budget retrenchment, due to the possibility of dimin ished football receipts as the outcome of war troubles, was necessary. The two universities had an ticipated acceptance into the conference as full members next year, with the "Big Four" teams placing them on their football programs under stag gered schedules. The northern members play Idaho and Mon tana every season. The ouster proposition was r-i understood to have the tacit Oregon, Washington State and Oregon State.

TOY HOTELS (AUr we und year JeicriptlveoUer) nitZZXU O i 1 1 1 1 UP tOI Ota tin Chick Spins Johnson In Mat Win Gut Johnson loses First Struggle Hero; McShain Gives Knudsen Pile-Driver By JOHN FOSTER Dude Chick, new Pacific coast junior heavyweight champ, spun his way to another sure victory at the Klamath Armory last night. His famous airplane spin was applied to probably one of the most colorful men that has ever wrestled in the Klamath ring. Gus Johnson. At the beginning of the main event most of the time was used up by leg holds of all descrip tions. The two scientific-era held each other to little gains for 25 minutes of the main event, then the Wyoming champion started throwing Johnson's torso over and about in a series of flying head locks. Johnson flew off the ropes at the end of the scries and landed neatly on Chick s arm and he twisted the appendage in to a hammer-lock. He twisted and pulled and soon Dude Chick was willing to give up the first fall to the fast moving Johnson. Grabs Arm Again Then there was tense waiting by the crowd for the sound of the bell opening the second session. The bell rang and out of their corners came the two wrestlers. Gus tried constantly to grab the arm he had injured in the pre ceding fall and after a bit of oomph he once again had Chick's arm. What a position Johnson was in for Dude's spin and that is just what happened ; Chick moved under Johnson, hoisted him on his shoulders, started his human merry-go-round, and then "Bango." Down on the floor went the hapless body of Johnson with Dude Chick pressing for the fall. The end had come. Although Johnson tried to answer the bell, Pete Becker, referee, stopped the brawl and raised the tired arm of Dude Chick. First Loss Here This was the first defeat re corded on Johnson for a period of five weeks of wrestling in the Klamath Armory. That bad man from Hollywood, Danny McShain, came out the winner over Gil Knudsen from Sweden in one of the wildest middle events ever to be seen in Klamath. Danny actually shook hands, broke clean, and helped his part ner up for a whole two minutes and then uppercuts galore. Knudsen got a little burned up and started to do Ms bit of punching and the two of them fought their way clear through the first round. The same dirty work was seen in the second round, with Knud sen showing that he could be both dirty and clean. Most of the round saw one or the other flying over the ring ropes into the laps of the spectators. It only took Struttin' Danny 31 seconds of the third round to apply a short leg scissors on Knudsen and to win the first fall. When the bell sounded for the fourth period, Danny came out and applied a geyser hold on a very unexpectant Knudsen (the hold is applied with a mouth full of water, a blow In the face of the opponent, and then you're physically washed up, at least JcWer from 2 ENTIRE FAMILY $4 From i n i mill T' RAINBOW'S END I Paxioo, on the gfamoroui Ftathrr River. where you can pan for gold and help pay for your vacation.

Beat New York 2-1; Brooklyn Drops Red Birds; Chicago Wins By PAUL SCHEFFELS Unlttd Prest Corretpondtnt The New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds swapped crying towels Tuesday. Both clubs, considered In the curly running as the teams to bent In their respective major league pennant races, kept going at top speed Tuesday but unfortunately in the wrong direction. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees summed it up when he said "sure, I can find lots of starting pi'tchers but just give me a couple that can finish and we 11 be all right. Six-Hit Pitching The front-running Cleveland Indians pushed the Yankees 4t your face.) While Knudsen was still blinded by dribbling water in his eyes, Danny threw him out of the ring for good measure. Knudsen came from outside of the ring with a shoulder butt. then another and another and then jumped on McShain for the second fall. Pile Driver Knudsen surprised everyone with his endurance, but it only lasted until next round. After he had given Danny a few shoudcr butts, McShain grabbed hold of the middle section of Knudsen, picked him up feet first, and threw him down flat on his neck. This hold, of course, was the one and only pile driver, and Danny stuttcd off to the dressing room the winner . In the opener two new boys to the Klamath ring, Vic Hill and Dutch Heffner, put on a first rate beginner. Vic Hill, the wrestler from Tacoma, won two straight from the not too sweet boy from Texas. The first fall came with a double step over toe hold and the second with a so-called body press as it were. Jack Franey, ring announcer, announced in the ring that next week Mack Lillard, wrestling promoter, has arranged a big time for the fans. None other than a battle royal. All in all there will be four bouts next Tuesday and a big time for everybody. BLIND TASTE TEST IS THE PAY-OFF! Blind taste tests prove that Barclay's Red Label up with higher-priced blends.
