Beaten Only by the Best
Willamette university's Dean Benson didn't make It to the Olym
pics, which was his ambition, but the high hurdles ace can feel proud
of being defeated by none but the best the newest Olympic champion,
I.ee Calhoun of North Carolina col
lege.
Calhoun, who made it a habit
of upsetting favorites, barely beat
Benson in the first heat of the
NAIA meet in San Diego in 13.9
seconds, then took first while
Benson was,- third in the finals
two-tenths' of a second ahead nf
a Benson. Calhoun really made it
a grand slam, in case nobody
noticed. Besides the NAIA. he won
M the NCAA in 13.7 (Benson was
fifth), the AAU in 13.6 by whip
1 ping the famed Jack Davis, tied
i lor first with Davis in the, Olyin
1 pic Trials, then edged' Davis,
:i holder of the world record, in the
big one at Melbourne.
3 ' Some disappointments at Mel
v bourne: We hoped that Parry .
O'Brien would top 63 feet In the
1 shot put after doing 62-6 at
. Eugene and 63-2 In a tune-up
s Nov. 1 at Los Angeles with a
series of six straight over 62
-.: feet. His Olympics winning
mark Is 60 feet 11 , . . We hoped
that some U.S. pole vaulter
i would go better than 15 feet,
since the winner. Rev. Bob Richards, has cleared that fabulous
height no less than 102 times. He had to settle for 14-11 . . .
We wanted Oregon's Bill Dellingcr to place in the 5,000 meter
'.run, but he felt he had to drop out after the ninth lap while running
in 11th place in the 14-man field . . . Now if .lorn Bailey of Australia
(and University of Oregon) doesnt' do well in the 1500-meter finals
Saturday we'll really feel bad. All three U.S. entries failed to qualify.
J Those British! Their old-fashioned sportsmanship is refreshing.
You recall how John Landy, the miler, stopped once to pick up a
fallen teammate while en route to a sure world record? Well, Gor
don Pirie of Great Britain slowed down so he could finish arm-in-arm
, 1 with Yugoslavia's V. Mugesa in the first heat of the 5000 -meters . . .
-, '1 hat mustP have been some contest between heavyweight weightlifters
, Paul Anderson of U.S? and Humberto Selveti of Argentina. Over a
' three hour period they hefted an assortment of iron plates on a bar
before Anderson won with a combined total of 1102 pounds in three
lifts.
, We had figured Anderson would win by a ton, but Selvetti also
lifted 1102, the gold medal going to the American because at 302
pounds he was the smaller than Selvetti's 316! Selvetti took the
: lead in the press (pushing straight up from the shoulders), with
: 385.75, compared to Anderson's 369.25, and then they both snatched
: 319.5 (from the floor overhead with one unbroken motion).
Anderson then had to set a new Olympic record of 413.5 in the
clean-and jerk to offset Selvetti's 396.75 and he must have caused
the U.S. coach, Bob Hoffman, to pull out what little hair he has
; left because Anderson missed his first two tries with 413.5 and really
; had to groan on his final attempt! ...
Odds and Ends and Stuff -
Northwest conference has made it official that no lime, or lime
product, will be used to mark football fields from now on. Agricul
tural gypsum or a field liner called Plus Five will be used in order
not to take any chances ... The conference has tentative plans
for a two-hight, iire-seasSn" basketball tournament in December of
1957, including Willamette, Linfield, Pacific and Lewis & CJark . . .
St. Martin's college at Olympia, Wash., has two Salem area men
on its basketball team this year. They are Jim Moriarty, junior from
' Sacred Heart and Serra, and Ken Wachtef, freshman from Mount
" Angel. St. Martin's will play at Linfield Dec. 14-15 and at OCE
Feb. 1 . . .
' Cliff Crandall, four-year varsity hoop star for Oregon State from
.' 1946 through 1949, was a visitor at Willamette recently to see Coach
' Johnny Lewis. Crandall, former Astoria prep player, sells insurance
. Coach Marv Heater of Central used to play football and bas
ketball with Mel Fox at Linfield college. Fox, now North Salem
football coach, became junior varsity coach at Linfield, followed by
; Jleater in 1951. '
We don't know what it lakes to get at least an honorable men
V. lion on the Oregon high school all-state football team, but we
"' know of t'0 Salem sports editors who voted for Bruce Mcland,
I Silverton center, and he didn't even get an honorable mention.
Such going-ons only add to our distaste for collections of votes of
' t people who didn't see many of the state's best play ... As
S IMurl Anderson, Silverton coach, fays, "It doesn't and shouldn't
I mean much. Mcland is our best and one of the state's best."
? Wendell Willmarth, comptroller for the Statesman-Journal news
papers, snowed us a clipping about his nephew who was a unanimous
selection as all-star guard on the Blue Mountain conference team.
He is John Willmarth, 180-pound senior for Coach Forrest Russell's

Pasadena Dec. 30 for the Rose Bowl. It contrasts with the facilities
afforded when the band scraped up money for buses to the OSC
tanford gome, when each musician was allowed only $7 in expenses
for seven meals ...
; Also, what happened to Stanford after it handed Southern Cat

Old Archie Can
Test Floyd's
Chin Early
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO Ln If Floyd Patter
son can take a punch, Archie
Moore may be in trouble Friday
night when the world's heavy
weight boxing title goes up for
grabs at Chicago Stadium.
Patterson, considered a 21-year-old
phenom, can be hit, and has
been. Only once, however, has he
been floored. That was by Jacques
Roycr-Crecy on July 12, 1954,
Floyd's 15th bout as a pro.
' This fellow hit Floyd on the
break with a right," recalls' Cus
d Amato, manager of the 1952
Olympic middleweight champion.
"I insisted it was a slip. But
Floyd told me, and the press, that
it wasn't that he was knocked
down. Anyway, Floyd got right up.
He knocked out Roycr-Crecy in
the seventh.
Lost Only Once :'
Most of the other guys who have
hit Patterson were feather dust-

MILWAUKEE. Wis. bn De
troit's Chuck Spieser, the No. 1
challenger among the light heavy
weights, knocked out Willie Hoep

second round of their scheduled
10-rounder in the Milwaukee
Arena Wednesday night. Spieser
weighed mii; Hocpner 174 .
The end came quickly for the
left handed swinging German once
the rugged Spieser went to work.
A right to the chin sprawled Hoep
ner for an eight count just after
the second round got under way.
The pair mixed it up in a brief
flurry after Hoepner regained his
feet, but then Spieser slashed him

State Crown Foes
Prepare for Battle
PORTLAND (UP) - Mcdford
and Marshfield put the finishing
touches to their football machines
today in the final tune-up for the
state Class A l championship bat
tle here Friday night.
The Black Tornado was sched
uled to move Into Portland this
afternoon and hold a brief work
out on the Lincoln high turf.
Marshfield will work out on its
home field today and wait until
game day to move to Portland.
The title tilt shapes up as a
titanic. The only thing on either
club's record this year that has
any semblance to a blemish Is a
20-20 standoff the two teams play
Finish
ers compared to the power-packed
Moore, who in 20 years of sledg
ing has won 131 fights out of 156
and scored 90 knockouts.
In being steered through 31
matches against a wide assort
ment of opponents by the crafty
"pick-the-spot" handling of
d'Amato, Patterson has lost only
once while growing up to heavy
weight proportions. That was a
disputed eight round decision to
Joey Maxim before he took on
Royer-Crecy. '
In the final analysis, it has not
been established if Patterson can
survive the viciousness of a punch
that Moore is capable of deliver
ing. To Try for Early Jolt
Most experts feel that Moore
will get a chance to test Floyd's
chin early in the 'scheduled 15
rounder, which is being ho m'e
televised and broadcast with Chi
cago and a 150 mile radius blacked
out. .
'If Moore hits Patterson early
and the kid survives, then Moore
is in trouble," one observer said.
Patterson then will come -on,
and his speed and lightning-fast
punches will have Monro in hot
water. , ,
"But if Moore hits Patterson
and hurts him, then he can call
his own shots. I think Moore will
try to hurt him early."
Moore to Weight 185
Patterson, himself, is a jolting
hitter, who can rain punches with
either hand but is not considered
one-punch knockout artist de
spite his record of 21 kayoes.
He figures to enter the ring
weighing 182-183 pounds. The most
he ever carried before was 181
when he polished off Dave Whit
lock in three rounds, Sept. 29.
1955.
. Moore plans to come in at about
185. The official weigh-in will be
at Chicago Stadium at noon Fri
day.
The light heavyweight king, who
automatically will yield that title
if he succeeds in his second crack
at the heavyweight crown, rules
a 7-5 favorite.
Moore Sued for $750,000
Moore Wednesday was sued for
a total of $750,000 by Dollree
Mapp of Shaker Heights, Ohio,
divorced wife of the former heavy
weight, Jimmy Bivins. She ac
cused Moore of various malicious
sexual acts in charges contained
in three suits.
"There's nothing to the
charges," said Moore. "She's filed
suits before in California and
Ohio always just before fight.
They didn't worry me then, and
mey don't bother me now.

Brooklyn Pitcher Adds
Prize to MVP
Honors
By JOE REICIILER
NEW YORK Wl-Don Newcombe
was all set today to argue nis
case for a sizeable salary increase
with Cy Young Memorial Award
added to his National League's
most valuable player prize.
The huge Brooklyn righthander,
slated to hold a salary confab with
Dodger Vice President E. J.
Bavasi this afternoon, was hon
ored for the second time in a little
over a week yesterday when he
became the first winner of the
annual awaid given to the out
standing pitcher of both major
leagues.
The latest accolade is awarded
in the memory of Denton (Cy)
Young, the immortal Hall of Fame
pitcher who ' won an incredible
total or 511 major league games.
Only last Nov. 20 Newcombe hod
been voted his league's MVP
award, becoming the first pitcher
to gain this honor since Jim Kon
stanty of the Philadelphia Phillies
in 1950.
Newcombe received 10 of the 16
votes from a special committee of
the Baseball Writers' Assn. of
America, consisting of representa
tives of each of the 16 big league
clubs. Sal Maglle, Don's pitching
mate with the Dodgers, was runner-up,
just as he was in the MVP
voting, with four votes. One vote
eucn was given 10 suuinpaws war
ren Spahn of Milwaukee and Ed
Ford of the New York Yankees.
The writers considered only
Newcombc's regular season work,
during which time he won 27
games while losing seven to be
come the Dodgers biggest win'
nor since Dazzy Vance turned in
28 triumphs in 1024,
Cal Coach Says

BERKELEY, Calif, 'tfl Lynn
Waldorf, retiring football coach at

Wednesday "it would be athletic
suicide for any team to withdraw

conference."
Waldorf, speaking at a private
party with friends, added "such a
team would find itself with no im
mediate schedule to play.
"The prominent independents of
our day Notre Dome and the

sufficiency slowly. It wbuld bo im
practical for USC, UCLA, Cali

Some UCLA and USC alumni
advocate breaking with the con
ference in protest to penalties for
illegal aid to football players.
James Kidder, president of UC's
associated students, said under
graduates at Berkeley oppose any
break with the PCC.
