Angels Refuse To
By The United Press International
Those angels with dirty faces
from Los Angeles apparently
have never read the American
League script because they're
simply refusing to fold up in the
face of the New York Yankees'
"pennant drive."
The Yankees havo reeled off
eight straight victories in a show
of muscle which traditionally is
supposed to "kill off" their rivals.
But the Angels aren't folding
in fact they're off on a four-game
winning streak of their own which
is enabling them to stay very

U.S. Coach
Predicting
Track Win
STANFORD, Calif. (UPI)
The United States had a chance
to take a quick lead over Rus
sia today in the opening session
of their international dual track
meet thanks to a schedule that
listed five events which America
has dominated in the past.
While an overweight Wilma Ru
dolph tries to make it four con
secutive wins for America in the
womens' 100 meters, the United
States males will seek to main
tain their superiority over Rus
sia in the 100 meters, 110 meter
hurdles, 400 meters and 400 me
ter relay.
Coach John Oelkers of the
United States thinks that a world
record might fall in the 400 me
ter relay which will be handled
by Hayes Jones, Bob Hayes, Ho
mer Jones and Paul Drayton.
And he was emanating confi
dence while Gavriel Korobkov,
the Russian coach, played it close
to his ample chest.
"I don't want to sound cocky,"
Oelkers said. "But I think we will
win this meet.
"I haven't seen the United
States team," the genial Korob
kov fenced. The Soviet coach
also doubled as a diplomat, prom
ising a Sacramento, Calif, house
wife that he would deliver her
written letters to Premier
Khrushchev asking that her
brother be released from prison.
In other leading events today,
Ralph Boston of the United States
squared off against Igor Ter-Ov-ancsyan.
who had leaped a world
record 27 feet, three inches.
But Ter-Ovanesyan only has
taken one jump all week and
spent the rest of the time under
going heat treatments for a sore
leg.
"How is he?" smiled Korobkov.
"He is all right. He has some
sore muscles but that happens to
every athlete at one time or an
other." AMARO JOINS PHILS

by Medford moundsman Bob King.
In this game only Fortune and
Arana were able to tap King for
base blows as Harpers team went
down to defeat by a 4-0 count. It
was King's second victory over the
Lockwood Motors powerhouse, and
the third triumph over the defend
ing state champs turned in by
Medford this year. Medford is the
only team that has been able to
win more than one game from
Roseburg.
Roseburg starter Tom H o b b s

three innings, striking out nine
batsmen, allowing no runs on a
single' base hit and giving up two
walks. Hobbs, with playoff games

A series of base on balls and
errors hurt reliever Ken Droscher
as he gave up four runs on two
base hits while walking three and
striking no one out. Lefty John
Burnham finished the game for the
Lockwood team. In one inning
Burnham was charged with no

Returns To Gridiron
In Trial With Eagles
PHILADELPHIA' (UPI) Tom
Gola, the versatile star of the
Philadelphia Warriors basketball
team, will try out next week with
the Philadelphia Eagles profes
sional football squad.
Gola said he decided he would
rather return to the sport he
abandoned for basketball in high
school rather than move to San
Francisco with the Warriors
team. He said he asked the Eag
les for a job and he was invited
to their training camp at Hersh
ey for a tryout.
Eagles General Manager Vince
McNalley said he always thought
basketball players, with their
"wonderful reflexes," would be'
good in football. "Gola might be
a natural for pass defense. He
has wonderful hands," McNalley
said. -"He might be something
and he might not. We're willing
to find out."
The 28-year-old former three
time All-America court star at La
Salle College said he wouldn't
leave Philadelphia because all his
ties are here and he also
has business interests in this city.
"And I don't want to be away
from my family for the six or
seven months of t h e basketball
season," he added.
