The face protector consists of a
rigid bar covered with a soft plas

the neimet in front of the upper

many others, have begun to use
some sort of mask that our boys
were getting banged up by them.
This ought to prevent a lot of
inexcusable Injuries."
The shift to low cuts for lineman

youngest teams m this section
Nearly all of the players are on
their way up in the professional
baseball world.
Luby was undecided who would
start for Salem, but was sure it
would be one of three flingers,
Bill Walsh, Hon Kins or John
Wort ham. The trio has received
the major share of credit for
bringing the Senators the first half
pennant.
Several ex-collegians from Ore

line up. Gene Tansc Mi, Oregon

Krausc, ex-Oregon, will be at sec

In Major League Bonus Rule
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UP) A
recommendation to change the
major league baseball bonus rule

Last night's Pacitic Coast
league games apparently prove
that a good old pitcher given
proper rest and care-1 can beat a
good young picther or any given
night ay July 11, 1505.
The veterans Red Adams (7-41
of Portland and Earl llarrist 3-6
of Sacramento quieted the bats ol
the front running San Diego Pad
res and second-place Seattle Rain-
icrs last night with hardly a bad
scare.
Adams, 34 years young, faced
his junior Lloyd Dicky, 25, and

Johnny Oldham 5-2 in Sacramento
and brought the Solons out of the
loop cellar after 38 lorg days.
Seattle's candidates, who have
played second fiddle to San Diego
since June 1, missed an oppor
tunity to cut the Padres' lead to
single game while Ihe rest of
the clubs, which were not sched
uled, picked up a half game on the
league leaders. San Francisco, 15
1-2 games off the pace, backed into
eighth place and trailed the Sol
ons by a half game.
Adams not only scattered nine
han Diego hits, he also collected
a double and a single in the Beav
ers' 1 3- h i t ba tra ge a nd scored
twice. Big Ed Mickelson rapped his
ninth homer of the year in the
fifth and Adams, in turn, served
up a gopher ball to Dick Sisler
in the bottom half of that frame
for the Padre's only tally.
llarrist (3-51 also scattered nine
hits and also gave up a homer
to Bill Glynn in sixth after allow-
ng Jerry Zuvela a single. Richie
Meyers' timely singles, good for
three runs-batted-in, sparked the
Solon attack. Mayers drove in a
pair in ihe third inning and brought
home the fifth Solon tally in the
fourth with two on and two out.

Ike Studying Plan to Spark More"
Interest in Competitive Sports
WASHINGTON (UPl The White
House said today consideration is
being Riven to the (oimation 01
committee to interest young
sters in competitive siorts tne
subject discussed by Fresiaem
Eisenhower Monday nt his meet
ing wilh Si leaders Irom the sports
world.
Vice President Hichard M.
Nixon was suuseslcd as tne co
ordinator of such an effort, bul
Nixon, who was present at llu
luncheon, said no formal plans
were drawn up.
Mr. Kiscnhower, a baseball and
football player in his college, days
at West Point and new the na
tion's best-known amaieur golfer,
told his guests thai somethini!
should be done to promote grcatcl
interest in competitive athletics,
both as an aid to the nation's
general health and ar a weapon
against juvenile delinquency.
The President said he found sta
listics on the physical condition ol
voung Americans "more alarming
than I thought."
The luncheon gliosis appeared
enthusiastic about the President s
idea and Jack Fleck, who recently
scored a major surprise by win
ning the U.S. Open golf champion
ship, commented, "You can easily
sec the importance of this thing. I
since so many athletes from youth
programs become leaders in the
military and also in civilian life."
Tony Trabert, who recently won
the Wimbledon tennis champion
ship in England, said the aim of
Ihe dnve should be "not to make
big stars, but to help little kids
coming up.
Nixon also addressed the lunch
eon and suggested that athletic-
programs ot scnoois ne reviewed
to see whether moie children
could participate. Along the samp
lines, Dr. Hans Draus of New
York University said that lack of
physical fitness could lead to heart
trouble, mental illness, nnd other
problems.

first man to face him, Joe Porter.
However, he let the Indians down

ton hits, homered with nV bases
