Spiegelberg Assumes
Head Grid Duty After
4 Years as Assistant
Fred Spiegelberg, whose elec
tion 33 head football mentor at
Medford high school was an
nounced Wednesday, moves up
to the No. 1 Black Tornado grid
iron post after four seasons as
assistant with line tutoring du-
. ties and is largely responsible
for development of a forward
wall which may prove his prin
cipal source of strength for the
1952 campaign.
Spiegelberg took his first
prep coaching job when he came
to Medford in the faU of 1948
but it was not his first exper
ience at coaching. As a captain
in Army special services, the ex-
Washington State college flank
man mentored the Berlin com
mand eleven to the European
theater championship in 1946.
He also coached the Cougar
freshmen in 1942.
3 Cougar Letters
After an all-around prep ath
letic career at Omak, Wash.
Spieselberer entered WSC in
1938. He played freshman foot
ball and won varsity letters
three years. In 1941 and 1942
he won coast boxing togas and
was runner-UD for a national
title in 1941.-
He remained at the school in
the ROTC setup in 1942-1943
school year, was varsity boxing
coach and obtained his bachelor
of arts degree.
Spiegelberg was in the army
four years, attaining the rank of
captain and serving as an mfan
try company commander. After
the war he took occupation
duty. He returned to WSC and
got his bachelor of education de
gree in 1948.
With Spiegelberg taking over
the head grid chore, Lee V.
Ragsdale, grid boss for the past
four seasons, moves into the job
of head of the physical education
department and the summer re
creation program of the Med
ford school system. His pro
grams will develop material for
future high school teams.
Ragsdale-coached football ag
gregations at Medford high have
won 26, lost nine and tied two.
They have outscored the opposi
tion a total of 832 points to 300.

py St. Bonaventure in the other
Duquesne was listed a five
point pick and Dayton was the

quarter-final and because it de
feated La Salle during the reg
ular season, 71 to 60.

the past he has won 130, lost two
and had two draws. He never

Austerity Plan Succeeds,
Philly Manager Reports
Clearwater, Fla. (U.R) Eddie first time since I've been man-
Sawyer Thursday pronounced
his "austerity" spring training
program for the Philadelphia
Phillies " a complete success"
although he admitted that sev
eral of his players were grum
bling. "But they realize," he said
sternly, "that they are here
strictly to play baseball. That
was my only objective when I
banned wives and automobiles
from camp.
"Maybe some of the players
don't feel too good about it, but
it could be these same fellows
may come around to thank me
when the season closes
Others Rated Ahead
Did that mean he thought his
club had a chance to win the
National league pennant?
"To be honest with you," he
replied, "I have to rate Brook
lyn and New York ahead of my
club. But neither of those clubs
is unbeatable in my book, and
we could do it.
"Remember my players are
hungry again. The bacon wasn't
quite as thick this winter for
them, and they are back in the
business of playing baseball."
Sawyer feels he plugged a
weak gap by acquiring second
baseman Connie Ryan in that
big deal with the Reds.
Catcher Strengthens
"It means I've got a major
league second baseman for the
Spring Grid
Tiffs Banned
San Francisco (U.R) Pacific
Coast conference presidents
have agreed to ban spring foot
ball intrasquad games, it was
learned Wednesday but no of
ficial edict has been sent to
coaches yet.
Sources at University of Cali
fornia and Stanford confirmed
the new edict, but refused to be
quoted. Recently the PCC had
voted to reduce spring training
to 20 days in a 30-day period
from the old rule of 30 days
practice.
A California man told United
Press that he believed the new
edict from the presidents could
be traced to the Northwest
schools, where some universi
ties had been charging admission
for spring practice in intrasquad
games.

the club in getting catcher
Smokey Burgess from the Cubs

in the major league draft.
As matters now stand, he

are Curt Simmons, the left

Carter Gets
Nod in Bout
Chicago (U.R) Lightweight
champion Jimmy Carter, pleased
by his split decision win over
Luther Rawlings, was indefinite
Thursday about his next fistic
move.
"I don't know about my plans
now," said the champion from
New York after getting the nod
from two judges' but not from
the referee in Wednesday night's
10-round non-title scrap with
Rawlings before a small Chicago
stadium crowd and the television
cameras.
Before the bout, Carter had
said he would use the fight to
test out whether Rawlings, rated
the No. 1 lightweight contender,
would receive a title shot soon.
"I don't know," said the
champ.
"He's a pretty good fighter,
but whether he gets a title fight,
that's up to my manager."
Rawlings, meanwhile, declared
that he thought he won the
battle and also that he thought
he could knock out Carter in a
title match.
