' 1 PREPARE FOR DISTRICT MEET Readying for the district wrestling finals Friday and Sat urday at Redmond era Bend wreitleri Vernal Wilcox, left, and Gerald Iverson, a pair of 190 pounders. Teams from Redmond, Bend, Prineville, The Dalles, Pendleton, La Grande and On tario will compete. Sports Talk There's a new football field scheduled to be constructed just northeast of Bend High. But grid coach Tom Winbigler Is going on the theory Uiat seeing is believing. Sure. Tom would like to play on Uie new field next fall. But right now Uiera isn't much to see. So, in Uie meantime, alternate plans must be made In case Uie new site Isn't ready to go next fall. And the alternate plans, of course, center arouna uie use oi the Municipal baseball park. There are several advantages to using Municipal Park. For one thing, the park has good lighting and It's fairly certain Uiere won't be any lighting facilities at the new field in time for this fall t play. Secondly, Municipal has a good turf. Whue Uiero are plans to plant the new football field with a fast-growing rya grass this sum mer, no one is certain that turf will be adequate in time for open ing of practice late In August Seating will present a problem regardless of which field Is used next fall. If Municipal Is used, the field would probably run southwest to northeast, cutting diagonaUy across second base. This would re quire some turfing around the sec ond base. Portable stands could be erect ed on the north side, but part of Uie existing baseball stands would also have to be utilized. And Uie latter would not exactly provide an ideal viewpoint for watching football games. Practice sites at M u n I c ! p a 1 would have to bo alternated to prevent damage to turf. There would also be some trans portation difficulties in using Mu nicipal for pracUccs. But as a temporary facility, It would not be Uie worst in Uie world certainly bolter than nono at all. Winbigler would like to have at least two daylight games next faU, wiUi Pendleton here on Sat urday, October 21, and with Red mond here on Saturday, Novem ber 4. The Pendleton dayllehter Is doubtful, but the Redmond day game is apparently a sure thing. Success breeds interest, at least Tom has found that to be true after a good 7-3 season last fall. "There's a new enthusiasm for football among Uie upcoming younger boys," Winbigler told U6 the other day. "Why Uie other night several freshman players stopped over at my house to dis cuss football. That novor happen ed before. Spots on next fall's squad arc wita open, and there Is no plan to restrict sophomore to junior varsity play. "Every sophomore Is a varsity STARTS THURSDAYI THE OCEAN ROARS AND' SO Vv1U.DU .JACK , RiCKK IEMM0N-NELSON ia V"" - Alio The Wtmher Von Braun Story ri KlGDEEtil inrqfl icy' A JVm -v.. ue tvJja , , rjr -y i " if- O 0 o BY BILL THOMPSON candidate until he proves other wise, said Winbigler, noting Uiere are several good prospects from last faU's fine freshman foot ball team. "We tried It the other way, and we weren't getting anyplace," Winbigler said. "And maybe it makes the iipperclassmcn work a lituo harder to gain their posi tions." But Tom foresees other prob lems besides Uie ones surrounding the stadium for next faU. "It's going to bo a tough job replacing boys like Ron Carter, Gordon Hogland, BiU Pederson, Terry Johnston, Bud Sell, Harold SUU and others," Winbigler said. 'Not only were they fine foot ball players, but they were good leaders, too. They didn't look dowa on h yAnnffr nlnyerB. they tried ic- help them." One of Tom s chief problems will be finding a quarterback to replace departing Ron Carter, one of the Inspirational leaders of last year s squad. Candidates Include Bobby War rington, a sophomore understudy to Carter last fall; Jimmy Leag- jeld, a good passer who saw ac tion as a sophomore halfback last faU; and Harold Weathers, who quarterbacked Hoot Moore's fresh man club. Winbigler, who bosses the mat squad during Uie winter, says wrestling is one of the finest off season sports for footballers. "Besides building toughness and courage, wrestling is a fine condi tioner and very good for develop ing that explosive strength needed in football," Winbigler said. "But my prime worry is about Uie boys who aren't doing any Uiing this winter," Winbigler said. "All types of athletics are good. The main thing is to compete and compete."

Don Drysdale, a 15-game win ner for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, is the latest to voice his opinion that Uie Pirates were one-year wonders. "The Pirates were awfully lucky against us last year," the 6-foot, 5-inch Dodger speedballer claimed. "1 Uiink we have a real good chance to take it all this time." The Pirates have been hearing much the sama thing since last October when Uiey beat the New York Yankees in that dramatic seventh game on BiU Mazeroski's ninth-inning homer.
