Page 2B EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed., Nov. 21, 1962 Jerome Wants to Prove Two First, That He's World's By WILL GRIMSLEY Of Associated Press PERTH, Auitralia A young man of fierce urgency in the British Empire Gamca opening Thursday is Canada's record-setting sprinter Harry Jerome moody, a mite bitter and burning with determina tion. He wants to prove, firstly, that he is truly the world's fastest human and, secondly, that he is no quitter. HIGHCLIMBER i By DICK it Our old friend, L. II. Gregory, sports editor of The Oregonian, has speculated on the probability that Oregon State's quarterback, Terry Baker, would be named to the All-American team selected by the Football Writers Assn. of America because of an invitation extended to a fel low writer by Look Maga zine to attend the annual banquet and three-day fes tivities in New York City Dec. 6-8. . . , The magazine, the vehicle for publication of the team, invited a se lect few writers to attend the event with air transpor tation and hotel accommo dations. . . . Look pays the association for the right to publish the team, providing the organization with the necessary annual budget costs. . , , By the same token, we assume that an Oregon Webfoot may also be se lected maybe Steve Bar nctt, second-team Associ ated Press All -American last season; Mel Rcnfro, Orpffnn's hrnai . and . hiifle-r halfback on the strength of EDDIE CHROBOT both his defensive as well Slock Brokers' President as offensive prowess; or Mickey Ording, a guard who has been highly regarded by many writers in Texas, Washington and Oregon. ... Reason for our assumption is that we received a wire from Dick Collins of Look Magazine, which said in part: "You are cordially invited to attend All-Amcrican cele bration in New York honoring Look Magazine Football Writ ers Assn. All-Amcrican team. The nation's top coaches in cluding Johnny McKay (USC), Ara Parscghian (Northwest ern), Darrell Royal (Texas), Woody Hayes (Ohio Stale), Paul Diclzel (Army), Rip Englo (Penn State) and Rob Blackman (Dartmouth) will be present for festivities. Queens of Cot ton, Orange, Sugar, Liberty and Gator bowls will be official Look hostesses. Festivities begin Dec. 6 and end Dec. 8. "Exciting interview and pix possibilities with bowl op ponents and coaches. All-Amcrican Awards Banquet at Waldorf-Astoria Hotel will be broadcast over NBC radio network. All-Americans will appear on the Tonight show starring Johnny Carson over nationwide TV. Other gala events scheduled." ic Frankly, we've voted for Baker as All-Amcrican quarterback as a member of the Football Writers Assn. and on the Associated Press poll. . . . We have also voted Baker as the No. 1 candidato for the coveted Hcisman Tro phy. . . , We also believe that Oregon's tackle Ron Snidow must be classed as an All-Amcrican candidate. . . . Well, regardless of the Gregory-announced invitation by Look (which we did not accept, by the way), it would appear that someone in addition to Baker will be in New York from this neck of the woods. . . . Woody Hayes used 50 of his Buckeyes in Ohio State's 26-7 victory over Oregon and Lcn Casanova had 31 players in ac tion. ... Oregon's possibility of being invited to the Cotton Bowl is almost in the realm of tho ridiculous. . . . and you can be sure tho Wehfoots would have to score a resounding victory over Oregon State Saturday to be considered for even a minor bowl game. . . . Chanco for a victory over OSU is a tossup, but nothing like a resounding triumph is expected. . . . It seems unlikely the Wcbfools. if they do beat OSU in Corvallis Saturday, would accept anything of less caliber than the Bluebonnet Howl (Dec. 22 in Houston, Texas), which is just a notch behind the Gator Bowl (Dec. 29 in Jacksonville, Fla.) in importance and several notches higher than the Lib erty Bowl (Doc. 15 in Philadelphia), Gotham Bowl (Dec. 15 in New York City) and the Sun Bowl (Dec. 31 in El Paso, Tex as). . . . Tho lesser bowls include the likes of Mineral Water Bowl (Excelsior Springs, Mo., Nov. 24), Prairie View Bowl (Prairie View, Tex., Dec. 1), Aviation Bowl (Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 8) and Cement Bowl (Allcntown, Pa., Dec. 8). if Tiiiv. Mark Hatfield, who made (lie trip to Colum bus, was a busy man on the jaunt, but not too busy to attend one of the team breakfasts and meet all of the play ers. . . . Seventeen of tho Wehfoots arc from California, (our from Washington, one from Hawaii and only 14 from Ore gon. . . . But, after all, Mark may be a presidential candi date one of these days and 26 votes could be important. . , . Former Oregon football players at the Ohio Slate game Included llershcl Patlon, Vein Moore and Eddie Chrohot. ... There were a number of quarterback Ron Veres' relatives there as well as Jerry Frci's folks. . . . Chrobot, the "walchcharm" guard on Oregon's Cotton Bowl team, was recently elected president of Iho Stock Brok ers Assn. of Chicago, a chapter of the National Assn. of In vestors' Brokers. Gaylo Laudcnslager, reserve senior guard, was unable to sec action against Ohio State because of a skin infection that caused both hands to be swollen twice their normal size.... Ho talked to his brother Don, a former Oregon halfback, who has been in the service in Maine since 19(i(l. . . , Don, recent father of a daughter to join his son, will be out within a matter of weeks. . . .

Ford Square Sometimes it seems the lat ter provides the bigger driv ing force for this quiet, 22-year-old son of a Vancouver train porter who was the bust of the 1960 Olympic Games. "They have never let me forget that I was a failure at Rome," the trim, handsome University of Oregon student said Tuesday. "Although I pulled a leg muscle in the preliminary heats at Rome some of my STRITE W KENCO LEASE Phone Dl 2-2151 Fastest; Second, That He's critics led everyone to believe I choked up. "It has been a bitter dose of medicine for me to take. I must win here and I must win in the Olympics at Tokyo." Jerome burst into the spot light just prior to the 1960 games when he ran the 100 meters in 10 seconds, match ing the world record of Ger many's Armin Hary. He went into the Olympics at Rome co-favored with the Honor Goes To Kirner Br ASSOCIATED PHKSS Oklahoma fullback Jim Grish am and Southern California tackle Gary Kirner are the As sociated Press back and line man of the week Wednesday. And Grisham got quite a jolt Tuesday when he walked into the Sooner ticket office to pick up a pair of tickets for his high school football coach. "About the time I walked in,' Grisham said, "Mr. Harold Reid (OU ticket manager), shouted from his office Grish- am's been named Back of the Week.' "I was really surprised. I had no idea I would win it," the 205-pound Olney, Tex., sopho more said. The honor went to Grisham for his dazzling performance in Oklahoma's 130 victory over Missouri last Saturday. The big Texan gained 116 yards, five more than Missouri gained, and was sent in as a linebacker whenever Missouri threatened to get a drive going. Ills Best Game Grisham said he felt it was his best game of the season. 'I believe the whole team did better against them. That's the only reason I got this back of the week," he said. Oregon Stale's Terry Baker was among the nominees lor hack of the week. He became the No. 2 all-time college yard age gainer last week when he picked up 389 yards against Colorado State University with 226 passing and 163 rushing. Baker has gained 4,863 yards in his college career. A jarring tackle that helped save the day for Southern Cali fornia brought the lineman of the week award to Kirner. Kirner was dug in on his own 5 as Navy lined up in the clos ing minutes of the game last Saturday against the Trojans at Los Angeles. The Middies were on the march and seemed on the verge of wiping out a 13-6 Trojan lead. Key Tackle , Instead, Navy fullback Pan Donnelly fumbled going into the end zone and Southern Cal re covered. It developed Donnelly had been hit hard by quarter hack Pete Beathard, but it took Kirner's tackle to jar the ball loose. .The score remained 13-6 and the victory, No. 8 for the un beaten Trojans, helped them gain the No. 1 spot in the na tional Associated Press poll this week. It was the second straight week that a Southern California player has earned Lineman of the Week honors. A week ago it was Damon Bame, a guard, who played a spectacular game in I'SC's 39-14 triumph over Stanford that virtually sewed up the Mosc Bowl for the Trojans.

That was his reaction to the telegram the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors sent to President Kennedy, asking the President to use his influence to get Detroit to withdraw its bid as the official United States city seeking the 1968 summer games in favor of Los Angeles. Calling the action of the supervisors a "comical grandstand play," Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh added: "Their city is obviously a poor loser and their conduct hasn't much to recommend them toward good sportsmanship which is the basis of the Olympics." U.S. Olympic Committee vice president Douglas F. Roby said the supervisors' telegram was "entirely out of order." Detroit won the right to represent the United States in bidding for the Olympics at an Oct. 16 meeting of the com mittee in Chicago. Have the Oakland (Calif.) Raiders of the American Foot ball League been sold to a syndicate trying to bring pro football to New Orleans? Probably, said tho New Orleans Times-Picayune Tuesday night. The newspaper said it learned from an "authoritative source" that David Dixon, head of the New Orleans syndicate, was in Oakland to negotiate "with the purchase price in his pocket" and that "all things point to the fact that the sale has been accomplished." Oakland President W. Wayne Valley told the New Orleans paper, however: "Don't you get the wire services down there? I told them Monday night that the club has not been sold. Period." He refused to say, however, whether he had met Tuesday with Dixon. "It's a very nice honor it makes you feel a little old, though," was 41-year-old Warren Spahn's reaction Tuesday to being picked as the major league pitcher of the decade. The Milwaukee Braves star, already the winningest lefthander in baseball history and looking forward to still another ma jor league season, was named Tuesday as the top pitcher of the decade, 1950-60, in a vote of 250 sportswriters over the country. Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants was voted base ball's outstanding hitter-fielder. Other athletes named as tops in their sports were Arnold Palmer in golf and Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics in basketball. It's rumor season on football coaches again. The latest: Stanford University has contacted Navy head football coach Wayne Hardin as a possible replacement for football coach Jack Curtice. Latest denial: Stanford's assistant athletic director, Chuck Taylor says: "Hardin has not been contacted by anyone of fically connected with Stanford." Hardin, also contacted, said the talk about Stanford is "unfounded and ridiculous." Both Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma and Duffy Daughcrty of Michigan State have been mentioned as possible successors to Curtice, whose five-year contract expires Feb. 1, 1963. His record at Stanford is 13 wins, 36 losses. Sports writers were jolted out of a post-dessert reverie in Chicago Tuesday by Ara Parseghian, coach of Northwestern's de-clawed Wildcats, losers of two games in a row. Concluding his report to the Chicago football writers, Parseghian said: "As you may have noted, I received several write-in votes in the recent election. . . . After due deliberation, 1 want now to announce I am retiring from football coaching and enter ing the political field where my talents may be better ap preciated." For a moment, all that could be heard was the desperate scratch of pencils on pads. Then, Parseghian's serious mien broke into a smile. "I guess that woke you up," he cracked, adding, "Of course, I'm only kidding." How does a football coach view the oddsmakcrs, those behind-the-scenes individuals who establish the line on which team will win and which will lose Minnesota's Murray Warmalh, whose team is pegged by the oddsmakcrs to lose by one touchdown Saturday to Wis consin, put it this way: "1 suppose there is a certain amount of accuracy in those odds, because the men who figure them make their living that way. . . . And a favored team may get a certain amount of statisfaction and comfort. But the people who make the odds aren't playing the game, and sometimes that makes a difference."

But this failed to satisfy Jerome. "I feel I must win a medal to prove myself," Jerome said. "My aim is to win the 100 and then I will feel I have got over a hump." Jerome will be favored to capture three gold medals in the 100, 220 and the relay. rttsirr stay m win wsnu smirj. Bucks Win; Seals Beaten By Canucks Br ASSOCIATED PRESS Gilles Villemure, the Vancou ver Canucks' sensational rookie net-minder, became the first Western Hockey League goalie to run up three shutouts this season when the Canucks downed the San Francisco Seals 1-0 Tuesday night. In the league's only other game, the Portland Buckaroos bounced back from a two-goal deficit to hand Calgary's Stam peders their ninth straight loss 32. The Canucks won the game for young Villemure early in the third period when Marty Howe climaxed a three-on-two play with a shot into the cage. Villemure has made 400 saves this year and is second to Don Head of Portland in goalkeep ers' averages. San Francisco scored in the second period but the goal was disallowed when officials ruled the whistle was blown before the puck entered the net. Russell Hit Mark If Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics manages to stay in the National Basketball Assn. an other seven years, he'll prob ably make his exit with a unbe lievable total of more than 20, 000 rebounds. The 28-year-old former Uni versity of San Francisco All America has been averaging better than 1,000 rebounds a year since he entered the league in 1956. He hit the 10,000-milcstone Tuesday night when he grabbed 30 rebounds in the Celtics' 113- 106 victory over the Chicago Zephyrs in New York's Madison Square Garden. In the other game of a dou- bleheader, the New York Knick erbockers snapped a six-game losing streak by downing the St. Louis Hawks, 103-95. No other games were scheduled. Russell now has 10,002 re bounds. Long Beach Wins The switch from Hawaii to Long Beach has made the Chiefs winners in the American Basket ball League. The Chiefs won their third game without a loss Tuesday night, rallying in the second haif for a 93-89 victory over the Kansas City Steers in one of two games played in the ABL. In the other, Oakland whipped the Chicago Majors 119-100 dropping Commissioner Abe Sa perstein's club into last place in his second-year league.

KOKE PRINTING & For Third Time New York's Mantle AL's Most Valuable CHELSEA, Okla. 11 The only flaw in winning the American League's most valuable player award, Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle said after his third such honor, is that it kept teammate Bobby Richardson from winning. The 1962 award. Mantle said after his selection Tuesday, was "the biggest thrill I've had," because he didn't expect to win. Mantle was hobbled with injuries which nearly ended his playing "I though Bobby would win," Mantle said. "He had a real good year." Mantle was on a Tulsa golf course when a newsman gave him the news. f "It was really a big surprise," he said, "but a pleasant one." There was consolation in that Richardson, the Yankee second baseman, finished second in the voting. Mantle got 234 votes, Richardson 152. Mantle had a relatively lean year with only 30 home runs and 89 runs batted in, but he still was voted the AL most valuable player in the most one sided runaway since Mantle himself won the first of his three MVP awards in 1956. While he was out of the lineup, the Yankees played only .500 ball and tumbled to fourth place. The voting is done by two Baseball Writers Association members from each major league city. A pirst place vote is worth 14 points. Then it runs nine for second, eight for third and so on down to one for tenth. Mantle was the only player named on all 20 ballots, and 12 of the 20 picked him for first place. Five picked Richardson for first, while one picked Har mon Killebrew of the Minnesota Twins and one selected rookie Tom Tresh. Killebrew finished third with 99 points. Pirates Get Sox' Schwall PITTSBURGH ID The Pitts burgh Pirates traded first base man Dick Stuart and pitcher Jack Lamabe to the Boston Red Sox Wednesday for pitcher Don Schwall and catcher Jim Pagli aroni. It was the second major trade engineered by General Manager Joe L. Brown of the Pirates in three days. On Monday, the Pirates trad ed shorrtstop Dick Groat and pitcher Diomedes Olivo to St. Louis for shortstop Julio Gotay and pitcher Don Cardwell. Schwall, 24, a righthander, was the American League's rookie of the year in 1961. In 33 games last year, he posted a 9- 15 record with an earned-run average of 4.95. He is a school teacher in the off season at Norman, Okla. Stuart hit .228 last season with 16 home runs and 64 runs batted in. In 1961, Stuart slug ged 35 homers and had 117 RBIs with a .302 average.

KOKE PRINTING Indians Sold To Syndicate CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD The sale of the Cleveland Indians for an estimated $6 million to a 19-man syndicate returned a "one-man" operation to the city's baseball front. Gabc Paul, a transplanted Na tional Leaguer who spent many years with Cincinnati as general manager, not only will act as general manager, but will be president and treasurer of the new group. In addition, he assumed jobs once held by Nate Dolin and George Medinger, members of the old owners. Paul will have the final say when it comes to player deals, operations at the stadium and radio and televi sion contracts. Paul, who introduced the new owners at a press conference Tuesday, said the composition of the group means that the "Indians will stay in Cleve land." "The sale of the Indians to a group mostly comprised of Clevelanders will dispell any future rumors that the Indians are leaving Cleveland," Paul said. "This group is composed of civic-minded Clevelanders in terested in keeping the Indians here." Paul said the sale of the club already has been approved by the board of directors and now must be okayed by the stock holders. A meeting for this pur pose is to take place next week. Paul said there would be no drastic changes in policy. He said the man purpose would be to "improve the Tribe and make it into a winning team. Paul already had taken a step toward this goal even before he became an owner. During the World Series, he enticed Birdie Tcbbetts to take over as Tribe manager. Meet Dates Omitted A dropped line in a Tuesday story about organizational meet ings for Eugene Boys Athletic Assn. basketball coaches caused two meeting schedules to be omitted. The meetings for the WilSon and Jefferson areas will be at 7 and for the Cal Young area at 8:30 tonight. Both meetings will be in the City Hall council chambers.
