TIlE¥'RE SAYING • , ,
This being Clu'istmas week antl
one jammed so full of things to
do the Sideliner should be twins,
he's going to take the easy way
out of column-writing by lifting
contemporary Bill Mattiek's words
from his "Sports Shorts" in ttel
Centralia Chronicle of recent is-
sue•
Bill writes:
George Hermes, Shelton high
school principal, made the sanie
suggestion Saturday about South-
west Wahlagton athletic leagues
that we were discussing with
Principal Harohl Gehrke of the
Centralia high school the other
day.
Hel'mes told memhers of the
onthwest Washington Athletic
association lie thougilt it would
be a good idea to reshuffle all the
leagues so that each league would
be made up of approximately the
same teams in all major sports ......
football, basketball and baseball.
• He pointed out that this change
would make for a better spirit
of competition and would increase
the interest and support of the
general public by engendering a
natural year-after-year rivalry in
all of the sports.
Tim Shelton school official
suggested that Chelmils, en-
trails, Shelton, Aberdeen, Ho-
qulam and Olymplit wonld make
np a good league. The rivalry
is natural and traveling dis-
tances would be cut to g mini-
mum.
That league would be the same
as the junior high setup, which
matches those same six teams in
football, basketball and track.
The way the high school lea-
gues are lined up now in South-
west Washington, they don't cor-
respond in any two sports.
In football, the Southwest
Washington league spreads from
O1. pla, Aberdeen ami Iloqulam
southward to Vancm|ver. The
Central A loop Includes Sbeiton,
Montesano, Elma, St. Martin's,
Chehalis and Raymond.
Moving into basketball, we find
a completely new breakdown in
the leagues. Shelton moves out of
the Central league into the nor-
thern division, along with Olym-
pia, Centralia, Aberdeen and Ho-
quiam. Kelso, Longview and Van-
couver join with Battle Ground
nd Camas to form tim southern
division.
In baseball still again the lea-
7ue makeup is altered. Centralia
and Chehalis finally get into the
same league, along with Shelton
and Olympia. Aberdeen and Ho-
quiam drop over into competition
with Elma and Montesano. The
southern division basketball lea-
gue stays pretty well intact for
the diamond sport.
Straightening out this jumble
'::'le,l' that will carry
through into every sport would
not be any esy Job, There is,
most importmt, the problem of

with each other. Tim new three-
division basketball arrangement
eame abont because some small
schools were getting snowed
under too often hy larger Scbools.
What to do with St. Martin's
prep at Lacey was also a problem
that led to the change. The Rang-
ere were dechu'ed too strong for
B league competition, st) they
were shoved into A competition
m both football and basketball.
But where care has been taken
to divide the schools according to
size in football gnd basketball,
such is not the case in haseball.
Elms and Montesano are in She
same league as big Aberdeen, and
Chehalis and Shelton compete
with Olympia.
So you can see thai u resbnf-
fling (if lealgqles to get tile
teams Into similar grOllii, in all
sports wouhln't be lln easy job.
But we think Mr. llermc's
suggestion is a good one and
should receive some consider't-
thin.
THIS 'N TIIAT
If there's a sports fan--stun or
woman.--who can beat Ami Eac-
rett's interest in things athletic
let's hear about him or her now
or forever hold your peace.
Over a week's period just re-
cently Ann witnessed 11 basket-
ball games, taking in five city
league encounters, two high school
doubleheaders, and one junior high
double-bill. She had to travel all
the way to Poulsl)o for one of the
prep programs.
And she was still thirsting for
more after that "spree."
Ann lilts a particular reason
for watching the high school
games as her son, Bob, plays on
the ltighcllmber B team, but it's
just plain slmrts fan interest
which takes her to every junior
high and city leagne game.
Stop to think of it, husband
Francis is generally right there
with Ann, so perhaps that accolade
should come under the heading!
heard so often "you can say that
again."
Johnny Dunbar, ex-Highclimber
hoop scoring ace, appears to have
won himself a starting berth at
one of the forward spots on the
Grays Harbor junior college bas-
ketball team.
Those tedious but so important
duties of secretary-treasurer have
been relinquished by Bob Kier to
the charge of Jobnny Storts in the
Commercial Bowling' League, not
so long ago.

Woodfiber stretched its advan-

ILLEGAL TRADE
IN FISH BARRED
An order designed to augment
biological data and to circumvent
sales of illegally caught fish was
issued today by the department of
fisheries.
It makes mandatory the use of
official Washington State fisti
tickets in all commercial trans-
actions and requires the signature
of the fisherman as well as the
dealer on the tickets: Exact loca-
tion of food and shellfish catches
must be indicated• Failure to meet
these requirements is a punishable
offense.
Director Alvin Anderson said
he has" "put teeth" in the new
regulation to counter poaching and
Lo obtain statistical information
necessary to maintain sound man-
agement of the fisheries. In the
past ninny dealers have been lax
in furnishing the proper data, he
said.
ltow does altitude affect motor
performance? Since air pressure
is lower in the mountains, iL is
necessary to set the carburetor
for a lean mixture. Thus more oil
should be used to compensate for
the reduction of fuel flowing into
the nlotor. Mann factnrers now
recommend the following' dosage:
An increase of 20 percent at 4-
5.000 feet; 25 percent at 5-6,000
feet; and 30 percent above 6,000
feet.
What size motor sllonld be nsed
with the or(Unary nonlllaning
boat? This point is most fre-
quently debated by anglers who
use coastal waters and rivers
where tides and tricky currents
are encountered, Most of them
favor ample power, a motor as
large as the boat will permit. But
there is another large group which
favors a smaller motor. They hold
that the amount of power needed
