1 Beloit Favored to Win Janesville Subregional Meet Big Foot Faces Beloit in 1st Game Thursday Delavan-Darien Plays Janesville; Regional Test Here Saturday Beloit's Purple Knights, co- champions of the Big Eight Conference with Madison East, are favored to win the championship of the Janesville subregional tournament. First round games are Thursday Foot of Walworth vs. Beloit at 7 and Delavan- Darien vs. Janesville at 8:30. A regional will be held in the Janesville High School gymnasium Saturday, matching the third- place and championship teams of the local subregional and the one at Salem Central High.

Battle of Champions In all probability the regional championship game, qualifying the winner for the Beloit sectional tournament next week, will involve teams that ruled conferences. Beloit is favored here and the victor at Salem undoubtedly will be either Elkhorn, champion of the Southern Lakes Conference, or Salem Central, undefeated in all competition and victor of the Southeastern Conference pennant. Also at the Beloit sectional, March 9 and 10, will be the champions of the Monona Grove-Sun Prairie and Middleton-Monroe regional, and the New Glarus district. The New Glarus tournament involves teams that won subdis- trict championships last week. Games Friday will have Blan- chardviUe vs.

Brodhead at 7 p.m. and East Troy vs. Verona at 8:30. Brodhead, like Salem, is undefeated this season. Brodhead now has an unbroken string of 20 triumphs.

Games Thursday at Salem: Burlington vs. Elkhorn at 7 and Salem vs. Wilmot at 8:30. Salem and Elkhorn were seeded. In eliminations Monday, Burlington beat Badger of Lake Geneva and Wilmot beat Mukwonago.

Elkhom won twice during the Southern Lakes season over Burlington and Salem's 18 straight wins include a nonconference decision over Wilmot. Fred Suchy is the Elkhorn coach and Dorm Grams, who starred on Clinton High teams some years ago, is coach of unbeaten Salem. Evansville Plays Monona Monona Grove's subregional has two Grove, winner in the Badger Conference, and Oregon, undefeated champion of the Madison Suburban. Although Oregon had an imposing record, it had to play an elimination. It beat Milton-Milton Junction Monday.

Stoughton, a strong 'team in the Badger, was seeded along with Monona Grove. Evansville, which beat Edgerton in an elimination Monday, will play Monona Grove at 7 p.m. Thursday and Oregon mixes with Stoughton at 8:30. At Sun Prairie, where the sub- regional winners encounter the victors from Monona Grove on Saturday, the games Thursday will have De Forest vs. Madison Central at 7 p.m.

and Madison East vs. Sun Prairie at 8:30. 2 Meets at Monroe Monroe will host a regional Saturday as well as the subregional Thursday and Friday. Games there Thursday: Darlington vs. Dodgeville at 7 p.m.

and Mineral Point vs. Monroe at 8:30. At Middleton, the winner of which goes to the Monroe regional, games Thursday night will have Lodi vs. Madison West at 7 and Prairie du Sac vs. Wisconsin High of Madison at 8:30.

A subTegfonal of much interest to area basketball fans will be played Thursday and Friday at Whitewater. Fort Atkinson and Jefferson, sizzlin' rivals of the Badger Conference, tangle in Thursday's opener at 7 p.m. and the nightcap will have Lake Mills against Whitewater. Lake Mills tied for second place in the Madison Suburban Conference and Whitewater was deadlocked with East Troy for run- nerup honors in the Southern Lakes. The Whitewater subregional third-place and championship teams compete Saturday in the Hartford regional.

Hunt, himself a Texas millionaire, testified in U.S. District Court Tuesday that owner of the Cowboys of the National Football him having two teams in Dallas "was a ridiculous situation and we both would lose a lot of money." Murchison also said, "I do not believe the AFL will succeed," Hunt related. Testifies 8 Hours Hunt logged eight hours of testimony in the first two days of the trial of the AFL's $10-million antitrust suit against the older NFL, and was to resume his testimony today.

The trial is expected to last about three months. Chief District Judge Roszel C. Thomsen is hearing the case without a jury. The AFL is seeking $10,080,000 in damages from the NFL, claim-: ing the older league tried to; monopolize professional football I by announcing expansion plans after the AFL had received sev-, en franchise commitments. i Proposals Turned Down Hunt named a long list of NFL owners who he said concurred in', I the belief the AFL was doomed to failure.

He testified that at least one of the NFL owners, Carroll Rosenbloom of the Baltimore Colts, said he "would do everything he could to fight the AFL." Hunt testified that he made efforts to promote understanding of his new league among the NFL owners, with proposals that included common player draft and joint television blackouts. The pro- i posals, he said, were turned down. I Hunt said he was injured and greatly hindered in plans to bring professional football to Dallas by I an NFL announcement that the senior circuit would move to Houston and Dallas in 1960.

(AP) Notebook jottings with the Milwaukee Braves in Florida: The Braves' training camp doesn't open officially until Thursday, but there's plenty of activity in the Bradenton ball park.

Dykes was ribbed good natured- ly by shortstop Roy McMillan and third baseman Eddie Mathews after the coach said he would be ready Thursday to swing "the fungo bat and give anyone a real workout who wants and Mathews said that Dykes couldn't "outlast" them, and Jimmy accepted the don't know that when I get a little tired I make 'em chase a long one and by the time they get the ball back I'm ready again," Dykes said with a grin. Tebbetts told Milwaukee writers that, as far as ha knows, "we aren't even close to make a deal" for player help, nut Braves are willing to listen to any "interesting" He reitereated that the Braves intend to give younger players experience by "feeding" them into the lineup in said the club has been bringing along players and "if we don't play them we are losing ground."

We hadn't lost a close onei game, all The state rough-fish seining! crew, under the supervision of Lewellyn Peterson, Edgerton, made what is believed to be a record seine haul under the ice. The Newville seining crew recently removed 240,735 pounds of rough fish from Delavan Lake. The total included 155,000 pounds of 85,235 pounds of buffalo, 500 pounds of garfish, 900 crappies to 11 inches long, 47 walleyes' averaging 19 inches, some blue-' gills and one northern pike.

Game fish are always returned. I Peterson said that there are a lot of northerns in the lake, but that because they already are disbursed, migrating toward spawning grounds, it is difficult to catch them in a seine haul. "The large number of buffalo averaged 4 pounds each," Peterson said. "But the carp were small, averaging 2 pounds. About 90 per cent of the carp were in the one year age class, A to 2 pounds each." Making record seine hauls is not unusual for the Newville crew.

In November 1959, they made a record open water haul, removing 450,000 pounds of carp from Lake Koshkonong in one day. Last year the crew removed 1,215,298 pounds of rough fish from Lake Koshkonong. This total included 979,450 pounds of carp, 235,790 pounds of buffalo, 140 garfish, 60 dogfish and 158 snapping turtles. A job well done. In addition to Koshkonong, this crew removed 78,700 pounds of carp and 2,520 Buffalo Fish haul in Delavan Lake when 240,735 pounds were taken under the ice, is attributed to the new year class of carp and buffalo hatched during the 1959 season.

Peterson said studies show that the steady increase in the buffalo catch is worth noting. They reached such a low level in 1948 that they were voluntarily returned to the water. The practice continued for about 10 years. There is an indication that large carp populations suppress buffalo similar to the way they adversely affect many of the sport fishes. The increase in buffalo could ba additional proof that the carp pop- lation is fairly well controlled in Lake Koshkonong at the present time.

The buffalo are chiefly from one strong year class. It is interesting to note that of the game fish species, channel catfish continue to be abundant, pounds of buffalo; Northern pike showed an increa.se from Rock River in Rock County last year. re- Fifth Grade Cage Pennant at Stake in Tilt Saturday Basketball Games Only 311 Black Bears Killed in New York ALBANY, N.Y.

Rookie outfielder Len Gabriel son, a young slugger signed for a hefty bonus a couple of years ago, and veteran relief pitchers Don McMahon were the lone un signed members of a 38 player roster. Gabrielson, however, visted the Braves' training camp Tuesday. Neither he nor McMahon will be considered a holdout until the official start of training Thursday. Willey, a hard-luck pitcher the last three seasons, had a 6-12 record in 1961. His earned run average, however, was a creditable 3.83.
