Bill Dickie&apos;s SIDELINE SLANTS Casualties m$mHII$Hi$ii;BIHmHHmm$liftHHliftlI Dark Thoughts On A White Day! From time-to-time you've noted in this space oblique, sometimes direct, unflatter- ing aspersions on the calibre of officiating by Kitsap whistlemen in athletic contests involving the Shelton Highclimbers and their Olympic League brothers.. The feeling has built up during the years since Shelton transferred into the Olympic conference, in the early 1960's, that officials assigned out of the Kitsap County Association to work sports events in the league haven't always been com- pletely impartial where the Climbers are concerned, that the tendency in crucial sit- uations has been to make the call favorable to the Kitsap teams. On the other hand, when Shelton has used Kitsap Association officials for non-conference games the Climbers felt they have received a fair shake. This has been one factor, although not the primary one by any means (long travel distances holds that distinction by a wide margin), in Shelton's desire to leave the Olympic league. The frequency and total volume of complaints against Kitsap offi- cials these past half dozen or so years sug- gests a fairly solid basis for the charge and the existence of a situation the Kitsap of- ficials themselves should investigate hon. estly and thoroughly. Whether a switch to another athletic affiliation would bring any improvement in this particular area is a moot matter. It can only be hoped so. However, Shelton lies in a peculiar geographical location which isloates the Highclimbers as the border-line brothers no matter what con- terence they belong to---Olympic, South- west, Seamount, Central or what have you. If that is what causes some Kitsap officials (not all are guilty) to call a verdict the wrong way occasionally then the same cir- cumstances are going to prevail if Grays Harbor, Thurston, Tacoma or whatever as- sociation is the officiating source, unless, of course, officials from completely out- side the league's geographical area are em- ployed. This would be the ideal situation, theoretically, but impractical because of the added expense of travel costs involved. in attempting to pin down the spevlflo complaints against Kitsap officiating, I talked to Climber basketball coach Jack Wright recently. Now Jack is one of the easiest-going guys you'll ever meet and among the least likely to complain in the coaching fraternity. What he said was very mild compared to what I've heard from others and compared to my own observa- tions. Jack's basic criticism of Kitsap of- ficiating was inconsistency and making calls out of position. Too many officials fail to call the same play the same way consistently, Wright suggests, like broken dribbles, for example. Players find it dif- ficult to know what to expect when one time they're penalized but another time they're not for doing exactly the same thing. These faults no doubt are as prev- alent elsewhere as among Kitsap officials. One thing is sure--officiating is a tough way to earn a buck and an easy way to win enemies. O  O 4t SPORTS SPLINTERS--Did you wake up Monday morning wondering why you didn't feel quite as punchy as usual ? The reason, I'd bet, is that the TV sports load last weekend was so light that your poor old eyeballs felt like they'd had a vacation, with only one football game a day Satur- day and Sunday. If you're wondering why there's been no report on Bruce Schwarck's trip to the Olympic Games last fall in this column it's because Bruce still hasn't shown up in Shelton since making his trailer-trip to Mexico City.. Need a nomination for Highclimber sur- priso of the basketball season? Mine is Ed Adams, the freckled, rusty-haired, five-foot- nine senior whose clutch baskets have won two games already and who played his way into the starting lineup despite being a non-letterman with six lettsrmen to com- pete against. Shades of Prof Loop! The grand old man of early-day Shelton school history-- teacher, principal, superintendent, coach, father-advisor, bus driver--from 1910 to World War 2 and for whom Shelton's ath- letic field is named, finds the Loop name returning to the Shelton school system after a quarter century absence in the person of his grandson, Pete Loop, now a teacher and assistant coach here and a member o£ the faculty team playing in the city basketball league. You'll spot him at the scorer's bench in Shelton gym at High- climber home hoop games. Set At 36 I W,'Ington tte hu*or ex- perienced 36 firearm hunting ca- ,,,c auring the 1968 seasons, according to Clayton Barnes, Fire- arm Safety Coordinator for the State Game Department. Six of the casualties were fatal, as compared to a 10-year aver- age of 5.4 fatalities in annual hunting accidents involving fire- arms. Barnes noted that 30 of the 36 "accidents" were cases where the shooter either shot himself or was shot by a member of his own hunting party; contradicting the belief held by some that it is "all those other hunters" who present a probelm. Magazines Tout S÷afe S÷eelhead Washington State's steelhead fishing is being widely touted in current issues of national hunt- ing and fishing magazines, and lived up to its reputation by pro- viding high success over the weekend. Although a few out-of-state ri- vers do produce good results for the steelhead angler, both quan- tity and quality of Washington's the best in the world, claims the State Game Department. Weekend conditions in western counties were generally favorable to the steelheader, as cooling ii JIM COREY jumps like a kangaroo to put in two points for Shelton's Highclimbers during Friday's game at Bast Bremerton.

Both teams substituted freely and the Knights took the victory. Larry Olli was high for the los- ers with 16 points and Kevin Dor- ey followed him with 10. Shelton's scorers were: Olli 16, Dorcy 10, Cole 6, Lewis 4, Olsen 3, Nutt 3, Zehe 2, Bransford 2, Quimby 1. This Friday night at 8:00 the 24 of 35 foul shots while the visit- ors got eight  18.

Southwest Washington areas were the exception with most streams in poor shape and fish- ing pressure very light. Both t Kalama and Toutle rivers gave low weekend success, but the Eloehoman provided nearly a steelhead for every other man checked by State Wildlife Agents. No sample of success was tak- en on the Grays river, but the Nacelle spot check of fishermen showe a rate of 19 anglers with 8 steelhead. Fishery biologists calculate "one fish for four fish- erman" as a standard index to better than average success for the steelhead angler. Up the coast, the Willapa was slow, but the lower Chehails again ,.

Highclimber comeback in the fourth quarter to come out the vict(:rs in their tilt Friday night on the Knights' maples. The final score was 79-76. Shelton, which has come back from some big deficits this year, tried once again to pull it out of the bag, but fouls ruined them when they were within reach of the Knights. With about two minutes to go, Shtton was within two points three different times and each time they fouled the Knights. The home team sank all six one-and- one situation foul shots to pull away by four.

In lower Puget Sound areas, the Carboa river was dropping and col '' " q anglers, and success was high. The Climbers only missed three of fourteen field goal attempts in the fourth quarter, which was a major factor in their comeback. Mike Sparks was the high point man for the visitors with 24 points. He didn't miss a shot in the second half, bucketing seven straight field goals, many from his favorite spot around the right corner. Dave Pyler was the game's high scorer with 27 points. He accounted for four of those fourth quarter foul shots of East's. Next was Jim Corey, who scor- ed 19 points, including seven in the final period. This was the first game of the season that he fouled out of. The game stayed close through- out the first quarter, with the Knights leading at the end of it, 17-16. East ran away with it in the second quarter, building a 44-32 lead. The Knights were get- ting through Shelton's defense and doing a fair Job of holding the Climbers themselves. By the end of the third quart- er, Shelton had cut the Knights' lead to nine points. Bud Tuson contributer seven points to the Climber cause in the fourth quarter and Gary Austin helped with four.
