Illinois,
Baker Felled
By Left Hook
In 8th Round
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK UP) Clarenoe
Henry. 24-year-old Los Angeles Ne
gro, ii the newest threat in the
heavyweight division after his sen
after his sensational knockout
win over i urn bo Bob Baker of Pitts
burgh last night at Madison Square
Garden.
What next? ,
That's the big problem for Henry
who flattened Baker with a stun
ning left hook in 2:14 of the eighth
round. .
"I want to keep on going up the
ladder." said Henry. "This guy
was ahead of me. Now I'm No. 4.
I want Rocky Marciano, Ezzy
Charles and Joe Walcott."
Instead of one of the "b i g
three," Henry probably will be of-
icicu m uiiucu uaw mui ... .. ...
Moore, the perennial "uncrowned
light heavy champ."
.Slid Through Ropes
Z It was a line victory, for Henry
.who weighed only 185 to Baker's
209V4. Apparently beaten by t h
bulking Pittsburgh lad who was
. undefeated in 28 previous fights,
Jlenry dropped Baker with a dev
astating left. Sliding through the
J-opes, Baker landed on his back
aide with his legs up in the air
.while Referee Ruby Goldstein
counted ten.
The sudden ending came as
shock to the small crowd of 3,515
that paid $11,238. The Judges h ad
Baker on top 5-2 and 4-3 and Gold
stein saw it 3-3-1. The AP card
showed Baker ahead 4-2-1.
"I don't know what it was," said
Baker in his dressing room. He
sure didn't. When Dr. Vincent
Nardiello of the state athletic com
mission, hurried to his side after
the knockout, big Bob said, "What
ihn hit mo?"
Henry was the second boxer to
put Baker on the deck and the first
to make him atay there. Only blot
on his previous record was a 10
round draw with Kid Riviera. It
was Henry's 12th straight win and
his 29th win and 16th knockout in
82 starts.

Elkton Basketball Quintet
Has Wealth Of Experience
The Elkton Elks have turned out
for the 1951-52 season with a
wealth of experience, but a com
Darative shortage of height.
Fifteen men greeted Coach Carl
Grimsrud as prospective members
for this year s campaign, and of
those 15, seven were lettermen.
Leland Cheever, a six-foot-one sen
ior center has three years of let
ter experience and four other re
turnees are the two-year variety,
They are: Carl Hershberger, sen
ior guard; John Beckley, junior
center; Dave Scott ana Konnie
Henderer, both junior forwards.
The two one-year lettermen are
junior forward Larry Emel and
sophomore guard, Frank Gill. This
eives the Elks a full exDerienced
first team with a couple of hoop-
wise reserves.
The height department Is a dif
ferent story. The tallest man on
the squad is Cheever. Only two
other men stand above five-ten.
They are Russ Brownson and Dave
Scott, both of whom are five-el
even.
Lacks Height
Coach Grimsrud states, "Our
ball team lacks real height and
as a result will lack backboard
strength. Also we will need some
improvement In our shooting over
Fourteen Named
As All-Americans
NEW YORK (P) Fourteen
names were added today to the
all-America squad from which
the first and second final offen
sive and defensive teams will be
selected Dec. 7.
In addition, four men nominated
again by AP'a board of experts,
thereby reinforcing their chances
of making the all-America.
The aecond nominations were
for:
Bill McColl, the great Stanford
end who served as a pass decoy
last week as' Stanford beat Ore
gon State, 35-14. Previously he had
shown his ability as a blocker and
pass receiver.
Lea Richter. California ' line

Grimsrud indicates greater
depth than last year with the ad
dition of two prize transfers. Russ

year's county championship Oak

Grapplers Battle
To Settle Dispute
When Roseburg wrestling fans
leave the armory arena tonight
there will be no doubt in their mind
about the wrestling ability of the
Galloping Ghost.
If he can whin Herb Parks, he
will be conceded a position among
the top grapplers on the Pacific
coast. Even Matchmaker Elton
Owen, angered by the continued
success of the arrogant Ghost, says
this will be a battle to end a dis
pute. The hooded hoodlum has been
running over his opponents and has
scored five straight wins in the
local ring. But it is the consensus
of ringbirds that his win skein will
be snapped tonight.
Bob DeMarce and Lou Macera,
two scientific wrestlers, will open
the thrce-bout show. Owen consid
ers tins a top ring battle. Both boys
nave snown promise and will be out
to impress the fans.
In the semi-windup, Bill Parks
and Gene Blakely will clash.
Blakcly hails from Buffalo G a n.
Tex., and is noted for his ring gen
eralship, his experience gives him
a decided edge over the youngster.
- But previous rin wars don't
seem to bother Bill much. Last
week he walloped the old warrior
Jack Carter. He is an aggressive
battler that displays a combination
of speed and stamina.

Bowl Riddle
NEW YORK UP) The fames
might not he the biggest of the year
today the last big Saturday of
the college football season but
some oi ue teams will end the
season.
Both the Big Ten and Pacific
Coast conference races will be de
cided with Stanford and Illinois ex
pected to come out on top and go
into the Rose Bowl on New Year's
day.
And in the Ivy league, Princeton
probably will wind up champion for
the second straight year. The same
is true of Oklahoma in the Big
Seven, except that this will be the
Sooners' fourth straight title.
But the top ones pit Illinois against
Northwestern in the Big Ten and
Stanford against California on the
coast. The Illii are topheavy fav
orites to come through unscathed.
If. they do, they win the title.
Purdue May Co West
But if they lose, and Purdue beat
Indiana, the Boilermakers go west.
Should Illinois los and Purdue lose
or tie, Wisconsin -an stare packing
its bags if the Badgers come out
on top in their game with Minne
sota. But the "ifs" are not likely
to come through.
Stanford is in a better position.
The Indians, even if they lose to
California, can do no worse than
tie for the Crow. Southern Cali
fornia will have to beat UCLA for
that to happen. However, Stanford,
on the basis of having whipped the
Uclans, likely would get the Rose
Bowl nod anyhow.
The big battle of the South is in
Lexington, Ky. It will send un
beaten Tennessee, already set for
the Sugar Bowl, against slow-starting
Kentucky, which will play in
the Cotton Bowl New Year'i day.
So the game really means nothing
from a "bowl" point of view.
However, the crowd will get a
look at two all-America candidates
Tennessee's halfback Hank Laur
cella and quarterback Babe Parilli
of Kentucky. Also, if Tennessee
wins, the Vols doubtless will hold
their No. 1 ranking in the Asso
ciated Press football poll.
As for who will meet Kentucky
in the Cotton Bowl, the question
still is unanswered, but something
definite should be forthcoming after
today'i Southwest conference con
tests. Officials Eliminate
Spring Practice
PORTLAND VP) The North
west conference yesterday elimin-
atea spring lootDau practice.
The action was taken at the
annual fall meeting of faculty rep
resentatives from the six confer
ence colleges in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho.
- Leslie Parks of Willamette uni
said football workouts will begin
Sept. 1 next year, lie said the
early starting date was set be
causd some of the schools have
scheduled non-conference games
with teams which probably will
continue spring practice.
The conference set its spring
track meet for May 17 and the
golf and tennis tournaments for
May 16. All will be at Whitman
college.
The conference also set up rules
governing selection of its Pear
Bowl representative. In case of a
two-way tie, the co-champion
which defeated the other winner
will represent the conference. In
case of a three-way tie the school
will be chosen which appeared in
the Pear Bowl the least recently.
Elected to head the coaches
and managers' groups were Roy
Helser and Hal Smith, both of
Linfield.

Shooters Score
In Gallery Meet
Targets took a thorough drilling
during the Roseburg Rifle club's
&allery shoot in the basement of
le armory Wednesday night.
Hi?h scores were common. Six
shooters held their .22 caliber rifles
steady enough to tally scores of
more than 350 on the 50-foot range.
Four hundred i a perfect score.
Leading the riflemen was H. Bai
ley with a total of 371. He was
tied by H. Beauchamp, but three
more points in the off-hand shoot
ing gave him the top spot of the
evening.
Also tied were D. Paulson and P.
Robinson. Paulson scored 87 in the
off-hand position ana) Robinson 86.
P. Carpenter, Robinson and H.
Garner each garnered perfect
scores of 100 in the prone position
competition.
Next Wednesday night the club

team in the first match of the sea
son. Targets will be mailed to an
impartial scorer and will be re

petitors were: Bailey, 371; Beau
champ, 371; Paulson, 370; Robinson
370; Carpenter, 363; Carner, 357;

Burning Stretch
Awaits Drivers
MEXICO CITY UP) A burn
ing 667 miles today faced Pan
American auto race drivers i n
the final three laps. Cars that
can better 100 miles and hour and
keep bettering it were favored.
Only 39 stock cars of the orig
inal 105 entries have survived the
gruelling 1266 miles so far, much
of it through tortuous mountain
highways.
Topping the list of favorites were
the two Italian Ferraris, piloted
by Italian aces Piero Taruffi and
Alberto Ascari. The pair are in
first and third positions. With the
mountains behind them,' nothing
short of a breakdown is expected
to stop them.
Most drivers concede that the
Italian cars have twenty miles an
hour or more in them than the
U. S. autos driven by the rest.
Barring the unexpected, this is
all they need to take the top two
places.
Taruffi at Durango had a lead of
four minutes, 27 seconds over Troy
Ruttman, of Lynwood, Calif., in
a Mercury. Ascari trailed Ruttman
by six minutes 27 seconds after
picking up from 45th place at the
first day.
