At the request of Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, Abbey made a trip to the Quaker City to discuss the situation. But neither Mack nor the Brooklyn Dodgers, who also sought his services, could offer Abbey sufficient to persuade his casting aside the amateur cloak.

Some of them thought that they could take salmon in the ocean without limit as to numbers until August 30, and others believed that all trolling "outside" was to stop on that date. At the last session of the Legislature a change was made to close the commercial trolling on August 15, but the new law did not go into effect until August 27.

Next year it will stop on August 15. This fall, after the twenty-seventh and up to the time the trout season closes, one may troll outside the Golden Gate and take salmon under the same regulations that apply to trout that is, the daily limit will be ten pounds and one fish, TEN FOUNDERS. In other words, you may keep one salmon that weighs up to 10 pounds, and one other fish up to any size, provided, of course, that it is not below the legal length limit. No chinook or king salmon under 27 inches in length, and no silver salmon under 24 inches in length may be kept. Undersiied fish must be released, and all trolling boats must be equipped with a landing net for handling any small salmon that might be hooked.

September is the month for the really big salmon, so if you want to land a large one, try trolling hook. If you 11 do that, you may, not be bothered so much unhooking fish that you cannot keep the fish will do that trick for yoU on many occasions. WHARTON'S KEFOBT. Joe Wharton, who tells us what: is doing in the Rogue River, reports as follows: "The larger steelhead and cutthroats In the main river seem to be still bottom feeding In the deeper pools, and the best catches have been made by drifting with crayfish bait. Some very fine steelhead were taken by this method at various places between Gold Mill and Trail.

A few steelhead were taken with fly or spinner, but the best catches were made with bait. "Glen Wooldridje, guide and boatman, returned from a 129 mile trip down the Rogue to Gold Beach. He reports that large fish, steelhead aiul salmon, were comparatively scarce until he reached a point about fifty miles down from Grants Pass, and that from there down to the mouth he encountered large schools of both species working their way upstream. "With the first real fall rains there should be good fly Ashing for steelhead all along the Galice and Grants Pass sections of the Rogue." utes and 20 seconds to lead his clubmate Bob Conn, home by 25 yards. Walter Kramer of the Ariels was third and Jack Reynolds of the Dolphins fourth.

Besides Jimmy Nicholson, Dale La-selle, Don Kennedy, Arlelgh Bent-ley and Hank Nilsen of last year's team, the Webfoot mentor points with pride to the following: Paul Rowe and Frank Emmons, fullbacks aforementioned; Ted Gebhardt, halfback transfer from Marin Junior College; Jack Gray-beal, a Warburton type halfback from Pendleton, where they ride 'em rough; Bob Smith, halfback from Medford, Oregon, and rated the pick of the crop; Bill Rach, fullback from Seattle; and Dennis Donovan, quarterback of Portland. Bob Smith breaks right into the Oregon lineup at right half. He is regarded in the northwest as the backfield find of the year. He is a southpaw passer who also kicks and runs very well. Here's how the Webfoots looked after spring practice; 190, two year reserve, krling Jacobsen, 180, sophomore.

Guards Strong. Captain Tony Amato, 188, and Joe Huston, 185, Chan Berry, 193, and Bill Estes, 187, all two year lettermen, Nello Giovanini, one year Jetterman and two fine sophomore prospects, Ron Husk, 180, and Cecil Walden, 185. Tackles-Doubtful Bill Foskett, 198, one year letter winner, and Chuck Bracher, 185, two year veteran, last year at end. Soph standout, Ellroy Jensen, 190, Eugene. Cliff Morris, 210, and Russ Inskeep, 210 soph, complete lineup.

Ends Strong. John Yerby, 188, Len Bud Robertson, 180 and Leif Jacobsen, 185, all veterans. Out-standing soph prospects are Victor Reginato, 180, Klamath Falls, and Larry Lance, 180, Glen-dale, Calif, Callison has potential fullbacks this year. They are Paul Rowe, a 190-pounder from Victoria, B. with a background of rugby and the reputation of a sprinter.

The second Is Frank Emmons, 195 pound sprinter from Beaverton, Oregon. Mike Mikulak, back at Oregon as backfield coach, likes them both tremendously and thinks Emmons is more the finished ball player but that Rowe is the hardest hitting fullback in Oregon history. Old Mike could hit a bit himself so he should know. Oregon's line should be stronger if the tackles, Bill Foskett, Chuck Bracher, Roy Jensen and Cliff Morris hold out. Jensen is a great sophomore prospect at 190 pounds.

BACKS ARE GOOD. The Oregon forward wall will be proved and strong at ends, in spring, looked best for blocking and durability, Dennis Dono-van, 180, and Ernie Robertson, 185, reserve, and Arleigh Bentley, letterman who plays either quarter or full. Left half Added speed and quantity. Jimmy Nicholson, Jay Grabeal, 160 pound freshman sensation; Steve Anderson, soph passing expert; Matt Pavalunas, 180 pound passer, and Ted Get hardt, triplo-threater. Also Dale Laselle, speedy two year veteran.

Right half Stronger here. Bob Smith, 184-pound sophomore, triple threat; Don Kennedy, 1936 quarter, shifted to right half. Dave Gammon, veteran, here or at fullback. Fullbacks-Mentioned above, plus Bentley, the utility back. Tomorrow Idaho.

By Harry Borba Because he has several veteran reserves, 18 returning lettermen and the best all-round group of sophomores he's ever had, Prince Gary Callison confidently expects to do something about getting Oregon out from behind the "eight ball" in the forthcoming Pacific Coast Conference race this year. The Webfoots didn't beat a conference rival last year and enjoyed only a tie with Stanford in the most disastrous season since Callison succeeded Dr. Clarence W. Spears. TWO SPRIXTERS.

The tall, somnolent Callison lacked a ful'Aack like Mike Mi kulak or Frank Michek to make his cruncher plays go last year. Because he didn't have a belt down.
