A MORNING OUTING ENDS WITH A COLD BATH

The Argus-Observer reported Nov. 24, 1952 that three duck hunters whose boat overturned spent two hours in the Snake River between Nyssa and Ontario before they could paddle the swamped boat to shore.

Drs. Max Gundmundson and Quinton Mack along with attorney Willis Sullivan, all of Boise, were warming themselves in the Idaho side home of Beul Clement when authorities caught up with them.

An observer who saw the men’s struggle alerted Oregon State Police about 7 a.m., and the police sent a power boat to the scene but by then the men were already ashore.

Police told the newspaper that the men suffered nothing more serious than exposure and the loss of seven shotguns and other hunting gear.

Jackson, Anderson and Killebrew were named to first team, Taylor to the second team.
