Pie 2B EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday, Oct. 21, 1962 Before Falling, 6-0 Thurston Frightens Marshfield By LLOYD E. MILLEGAN Register-Guard Correspondent The winless Thurston Colti came within a whistle and two yards of beating the once-powerful Marshfield Pirates Saturday afternoon at Silke field. HIGHCLIMBER: tittarmmiaw By DICK ic Had the San Francisco Giants won the World Series (and the National League club came within one base hit of doing just that) Chuck Hiller most certainly would have been a worthy candidate for the honor of being selected as the "World Series Hero." In the second series game, watching from the make shift press box directly behind home plate at Candlestick Park we saw Hiller score what proved to be the win ning run and make two sen sational fielding plays. In the fourth game, in New York, he hit a grand-slam home run to win that game .... Ho was the series leader with three doubles, tied with Roger Maris with five runs batted in, tied with seven others with one home run, topped the Gi ants with four runs scored, his seven . hits tied three other Giants to lead in that department, and he figured in seven double plays while handling 39 chances with only one error for a .974 fielding percentage. His .269 batting average was very creditable, just under, his season's average of .276. The other three Em eralds of 1959 contributed , little or nothing to the Ser ies success of the Giants ' .... Bob Bolin pitched 2 innings in two games, striking out two and walking none, but was found for two earned runs .... Johnny Orsino caught in the ninth inning of the first game, without distinction .... And Carl Boles, who was used mostly as a pinch hitter and pinch runner late in the pennant -drive, saw no Series action .... But it certainly was a long baseball season the final game coming after the start of basketball season .... While local fans will continue to watch any success for mer Emeralds have in the majors they'll also be watching the progress of the Chicago White Sox who now have a full working agreement with the Emeralds. Five White Sox play ers were on tho Tri-City roster last season and one, first base man Gary Johnson, was the league batting champion with a .341 average. Outfielder Brian McCall hit a solid .303 with 11 home runs and late in the season hit a couple for the White Sox .... Ed Nottle was one of the best relief pitchers in the class "B" circuit with a 2.25 earncd-run average and a 10-6 win-loss record .... There were two others, Lee Feather stone with ft 12-12 and 4.38 record, and Bob House 4-4 and 4.50. i ' -A- Three Emerald pitchers were ranked among the top ten for the season, Ed Feldman 9-11 and 3.68, Malt Gayeskl 14-9 and 3.88, and Dick Eslclle 14-14 .... Gayeski had nine-inning 1-0 no-bit, no-run game against Wcnatchce and Estcllc a seven-Inning 6 0 no hitler against Salem for the only no-hittcr of the season .... Gayeski and Bruce Bru bukcr of Yakima tied for strikeout honors with 209 . . . Matt started the most games 30. The official statistics for the season, announced by Bill Weiss, show some other figures of note for Eugene players, some of dubious honor like Jose Calcro hitting into the most doublo plays and with the most errors for a first baseman and catcher Dick Dietz the most passed balls (37 to tie the league record) .... Wally Cockrcll had the most bases on balls (101), but also the most errors (or an outfielder .... Carlos Dore had the most putouts for an outfielder and Diets the most assists for a catcher .... Calcro was ninth and Dore tenth leading league batters with .293 and .290 averages, respectively .... Mickey Sinnerud, the ex-Orcgon Duckling and Beaverton High star, was the leading defensive shortstop and hit .286 'or the Yakima Bears .... Belko Eager for Cage Silly as it may seem, Oregon basketball coach Steve Belko is looking forward to the coming basketball season which begins in less than six weeks. Ordinarily, when a roach has lost the top three scorers from a team that scored only enough to win nine times in 26 tries, you'd expect him to be anything but optimistic. This would seem particularly true when the previous year's freshman squad was mediocre, which was also the case. But, after getting a first look at a 19 man team which began practice Monday, Belko found the situation isn't really as bad as some people might think. "We may not, on paper, scare loo many people," lie smiles, "hut we'll have something to do with who does win this thing." As last year, Oregon will be RCA VICTOR MARK 8 Charming Colonial Lowboy Power Booster New Vista Color Chaists Glare-proof High Fidelity Color Tub Two Speaker Realism The final score Marshfield 6, Thurston 0.

"I like a fast ball club," Steve says. "We can be more aggressive on defense. General ly speaking, I think we'll be quicker."

The whistle episode came on the second play of the third quarter after the first half had ended in a 0-0 tie. ' Hiller Could Have Been Series MVP Candidate mammMmvmmMaammtm vmmmmntmmmi. The Ems had some lowly team records, hitting into the most doublo plays, leaving the most men on base, having the lowest team fielding percentage and ranking fourth in hitting .... Despite a late-season drive that gave the Ems a second half second-place tie with Salem, the Ems still were last in the aggregate win-loss records and three full games behind fifth-place Lcwiston. It is hoped the White Sox will change all that .... and now it is Lefty Dennis' tough job to convince local baseball fans things will be better in 1963 .... Dennis, with 14 years in the U. S. Marines and manager of a number of Marine teams during his tour of duty, is now general manager of the Ems. He will be at the Osburn Hotel until his family arrives in December. it Mr. and Mrs. Roy Swcnson of Eugene had the pleasure of watching Johnny Longden, fabulous 56-year-old jockey, ride their "Chase Eddie" to victory in the $5,000 Harvest Handicap at the Fresno District Fair last Sunday . . .

We noticed two familiar names in a professional wrest ling story Tony Borne and Jerry Kozak, Nick's younger brother. Bill Bowerman was reluctant to accept an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) invitation to accompany his world record four mile relay team to New Zealand this winter under present circumstances. Bowerman, as an advocate of the NCAA spawned track federation, did not feel he should accept such an invitation. Arthur S. Flemming, University of Oregon president, has recommended to the AAU that athletic director Leo Harris accompany the Webfoots. The AAU has approved a fifth man for the squad, and Bowerman is planning three one-mile competition runs to select the five-man squad. At the present time there are seven runners in contention. forward this season. "Larry Cooley could he a good sophomore forward for us, too," Belko adds. Bringing up the subject of Glenn Moore, a hroad grin comes to Belko's face. "Yes, we've got a center now. We'll need a replacement for him, though, for insurance. If anything should happen to Moore should he run into scholastic problems again or be injured Belko's optimism would probably do an abrupt about-face. Lew Tattrrson wasn't even a good freshman center Inst win ter, and although Belko says he's shown great improvement since then, he doubts he'll he good enough for varsity ball this year and probably will be held out for a year.

"Slim Wintcrmute was a very, very mediocre player his sopho more year and an All Ameri can his junior year." Johnson, if the need arises, may divide his time between forward and center. The guard situation is the big question mark "I don't want to change Jones hack to guard if 1 can help it," Belko says where the outside shooting pow er may he next to nil. "I have hopes for Tuttlc (Tom), there's Mack, of course, and Elliot Gleason, who we held out last year." He hopes to find at least one shooter among sophomores Wal ly Palmberg, Boh Yates and Pat Loy. 3 was blown . and the 157-pound senior managed to break loose from a flock of tacklers, and go the rest of the way for the score unmolested. "They should have blown the whistle," muttered disap pointed Thurston head coach Bo Clingman. "My boys thought he had been stopped. Regardless, I thought my boys played a tremendous game especially on defense," added Clingman.

The Colts threatened first in the game when Jim Saliaday in the first quarter recovered a Pirate fumble on the Marshfield 36.

C, in 23 seconds of the eighth round of a television fight at Madison Square Garden Saturday night Referee Teddy Martin halted the scheduled 10-roundcr after the experienced New Yorker sent the willing substitute reel ing across the ring with a hard right to the jaw. Foster subbed for heavyweight contender Zora Folley, who withdrew because of a virus infection. Jones weighed 182 Bounds. Foster 174. Jones floored the 23-year-old underdog in the first round for a count of nine with a jolting right to the jaw. The tall, slen der Foster rallied to give Jones a stiff battle through the fifth round. But in the sixth he began to tire and in the seventh round he absorbed a sound beating, twice reeling from rights to the head. At the end of the seventh Dr. Samuel S wet nick examined Foster. He advised the referee to halt the fight if Foster got hit by a hard blow. The first solid right sent Foster back wards and Martin called it a night. Although his previous 120 record included nine knockouts, Foster's punches didn't faze Jones a bit. The New Yorker took his f oe s best blows with out flinching as he gunned for the knockout. Jones' record now is 20-3-1, in cluding 12 knockouts. Buffalo Tops Oakland,14-6 BUFFALO N.Y.

The 243-pound fullback, who is second among the rushers in the league, plowed through the heavy mud for 144 yards in 19 carries in ' spearheading the Bills second straight triumph after losses in their first five games. Oakland suffered its sixth setback in as many games this season. In their debut under new head coach Red Conkright, the Raiders alternated their offense between a standard flanker-T and a variety of the shotgun. For the most part, the shot gun mis-fired.

"We weren't prepared on de fense for their offense," said winning coach Don Schwartz of Elmira. "Tho plpmpnf nf enrnricp kinda caught 'cm flat-footed," mused Pleasant Hill's Paul Jackson. What were they in agreement aTout? Pleasant Hill came up with just about the weirdest offen sive formation to come along in several seasons and shocked the Falcons for a 12-0 first quarter lead. Known as the "Garbage left (or right)" among the Pleasant Hill coaching staff, the line-up looks something like this: Six linemen and three backs line up in a normal formation; eighteen or twenty yards away down the line of scrimmage we find the ball and the remaining two Billie players. Their names are Hal Ott who centers the ball to quarterback Mike Hill. Since Ott is also in an end position, he is eligible to catch passes. And catch passes he did eight of them for 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns, to be exact. Hill also completed six passes to Bruce Bradshaw for 138 yards and another pair of scores. All in all, Hill completed 18 of 33 aerial' attempts for 261 yards and all four Pleasant Hill touchdowns. Nevertheless, Elmira won the game. After Ott and Bradshaw had scored on passes of nine and seven yards, the Falcons got down to business.
