Larry Doby, the first Negro to
wear an American League uni

end of the trail as a major league
baseball player.

sons shuttling back and forth be

Sox, was assigned to San Diego

Sox purchased from Indianapolis.
Hassle With Lopex ..
Oddly enough, it was Bill
Vecck. the man who brought the
big slugger into the major leagues
with Cleveland in 1947 who re
luctantly was forced to send Doby
to the miners in August after a
harsle with Manager Al Lopez.
India-is Shuffle Players
The Indians also shuffled a
number of players, promoting six
youngsters to the pa'ent club.
Called up. obviously to protect
them from the draft, were pitch
ers Wynn Hawkins and Carl Ma
thias from Mobile of the Southern
Association and Don Schaeffer
from San Diego, and outlielders
John McLane from Mobile, Harold
Jones from Minot of the Northern
League and Al Lupow from Ba
tavia of the New York-Pennsylvania
league.
The Baltimore Orioles, mean

right on the goal line. La Grande
took over and on the first play
fumbled with Baker recovering
on the 7. i
The Bulldogs rammed away at
the La Grande defense but lost
yardage on two of three plays.
Barton on fourth down went to
his left and as he was tackled
fumbled and once again the
Wildcats took over inside their
own 10.
La Grande took a 6 0 lead in
the first period. Whittemore had
run a Baker punt back 65 yards
for a touchdown only to have it
called back by an offside penalty.
When Baker punted over the
Wildcats marched down the field
to score. Whittemore romped 25
yards to the seven to set up the
score with Kirk Gerry going the
last five yards for the points.

drive to go ahead. Larry Johnson
recovered a Wildcat fumble and
two plays later took a 32 yard

Barton added the exta point to
make it IS. -
The ensuing ktckoff was fum

Barton put the ball on the one
yard line with a 25 yard run
through the entire Wildcat team.
Two penaltys moved the ball
out to the 11 and with a first
down Johnson took to the-air only
ta see Gerry pick off . the pass
on the two and return it to the
eight.
Larry Nice fumbled after the
third period got underway but
once again . Gerry was at the
right place at the right time and
picked off another aerial on the
12 to thwart the Bulldogs and
get the Wildcat's second touch
down march underway.
Rauwolf made a first down just
over the 40 before Gerry hit Ron

Baker 48. Nice sprinted around

this one is "Really big " That's
the upcoming luotball clash here
Saturday between Oregon and
Washington.
No question about it. tli.s battle
of the Webfoots and Huskies
shapes up as one of the top ones
in their long rivalry.
For instance. '
1. Oregon, after its conduct of
Air Force, now is ranked 11th in
the country. Washington is tied
with Tennessee a'.d Texas Clirif
lian for 20th place.
2. Oregon is unbeaten and un
tied after five games. Washington
has lost only once, by a 22 - 15
margin to fourth-ranked Southern
California.
3. The winner could well go o i
to represent the West Coast in the
Rose Bowl.
4. It will be Oregon's first cra'.k
at Washington since the fuldui of
the Pacific Coast Conlerence.

Cus D'Amato
Fights For
N.Y. License
NEW YORK 'UPD Fight-!
manager Cus D'Amato, missing
for six weeks, began public
"training" today for the most im
portant match of his career to
prevent revocation of his license
at a hearing before the New York
State Athletic Commission.
The long-silent manager of for
mer heavyweight champion Kloyd
Patterson accepted the commis
sion's challenge to a hearing Mon
day night in an out-pouring of
more than 800 words.
His lengthy acceptance was an- .
nounced through his attorneys, i
Edwin Stephen Schweig and Jul
ius November: and that do?u
ment is but a prelude to the thou
sands cf words yet to come dur
ing the very important hearing,
which may decide whether the
return Patterson-Ingemar Johans
son fight will be staged in New
York.
The attorneys have notified the
commission that Cus wants a
hearing, and the commission soon
will set a date. ,
D'Amato was suspended on
Sept. 14 for his failure to appear
at the commission's general hear
ing about the promotion of the
June 26 fight in which Johansson
of Sweden won the crown from
Patterson on a third-round knock
out. j
Last week the commission voted
him guilty of misconduct in con
nection with the right's promo
tion. James P. Fusscas, commis
sion counsel, is now drawing up :
charges against him. They will be 1
served upon him this week. Mean-1
while, Cus has been ordered to
answer those charges at a hear
ing to "show cause" why his
license should not be permanent
ly revoked.
Nice went untouched into the
end tone but ence again the con i
version attempt was short.
