Value of One-Platoon Dall
To Small Schools Revealed
In Week End Grid Tangles
1 I ttU V 1km a.
Br johh GKirnN
New York (US) One of
the wackiest college football
seasons in many a year may be
In store for the fans this year,
judging from the upset havoc
produced by Jost one week end
of the one platoon system.
For how. asked the "experts"
as they nursed king sized head
aches today, can you figure out
predictions after what happened
to such supposed grid titans as
Alabama, California, Texas,
Stanford and Washington?
Alabama, with a squad sup
posed to be just as strong as the
power house which crushed Sy
racuse in the Oregan Bowl last
Jan. 1, with the chief victim
of the wave of upsets when it
lost to Mississippi Southern
Friday night, 25-19.
The moaning had hardly died
down from that one before Sat
urday afternoon produced such
shockers as Baylor's 25-0 rout
of California, Louisiana State's
20-7 victory over Texas, College
of Pacific's 25-20 defeat of Stan
ford, and Colorado's' 21-20 de
cision over Washington.
The lesson seemed to be that,
under the one platoon system,
a small team with a handful of
good players has a greatly in
creased chance to upset the
"big name" schools who, under
the two platoon system, buried
their rivals under manpower.
The one platoon system con
tributed directly to the Texas
Aggies' 7-6 upset of 'Kentucky.
Kentucky drove deep into Ag
gie territory in the fourth per
iod but couldn't get its kicking
specialist into the game to try
for a field goaL Instead they
tried a fake kick and failed.
According to Form
All was- not lost for the ex
perts, of course, for other games
ran to form. In some of the big
ones, Maryland came up with a
58Vi minute "Iron Man," Bernie
Falonry in beating Missouri.
20-6; Duke opened the new
Atlantic coast conference with
an expected 20-7 win over South
Carolina'; and Georgia Tech ran
its unbeaten string to 27 games
with a 53-0 rout of Davidson.
The emphasis, once again, will
be on intersections! games this

Line of Work
Chicago U.fD Rogers
Hornsby, a manager who can't
seem to hold a steady jab, said
he might like to try a new lint
oi work.
"I don't know much about
anything but baseball," he said,
"but I'd be willing to learn."
Hornsby, who has been a bast
ball manager more times than
some players have beta on third
base, was asked if be had re
ceived any offers since getting
fired from the Cincinnati 'Reds
Thursday.
"Nab." he said. "Give, 'em
time." He laughed. If you 'hear
anything, let me know."
Hornsby, who has managed
the St Louis Browns, the Chi
cago Cubs, the St Louis Cards,
the Boston Braves and several
minor league clubs, said money
wasn't the big consideration' in

er Carl Furillo and firit-base-man
Gil Hodges, key sluggers in
Brooklyn's modern version of
"murderers row" were declared
"definitely fit" today to be in
the starting lineup when the
Dodgers meet the Ntw York
Yankees in the first game of
the world series.
Manager Charley Dressen,
still chipper after scouting the
four-time world' champion Yan
kees, announced that Furillo
would return to action when the
Dodgers meet the Philadelphia
Phillies in their final series of
the season beginning next Fri
day. . .
And Hodges himself laughed
off speculation that he might
miss the big series when he in
sisted he "could play today if
necessary.
Broken Hand
Furillo suffered a broken
metacarpal bone in his left hand
during his celebrated "no
punch" fight with Leo Durocher
of the New York Giants two
weeks ago while Hodges suffer
ed a bruised left side when he
crashed into the right field wall
at County Stadium, Milwaukee,
a week ago.
"It can take time to get back
in stride after a layoff," said
Furillo, who leads the National
league with a .344 batting av
erage. "I'm pretty sure I'll be
able to play but I don't know
how well."
Furillo has blasted out 21
homers and knocked in 93 'runs
while Hodges has collected 31
homers and driven in 120 runs
and walloped the ball at a .303
clip during the regular season.
Both art eager to atone for poor
showings in last year's series
with the Yankees. .

Rollie Takes
Bitterness
Into Scuffle
By OSCAR FRA1XY
New York (U.FD Rocky
Marciano defends the heavy-
weight championship of the
world against Roland LaStarza
on Thursday night and from this
corner it looks .like simply a
question of how long it will take
the bomb to go off.
Not that this won't be a good
hassle, while it lasts. LaStarza
has a lot of bitterness within
him because his first defeat was
a narrow decision loss to Mar
ciano three and a half years ago
and the Rock has dodged him
ever since.
The Man Is Mistaken
But Rollicking Rollie seemsH
from nere, to be making a ter
rific mistake. .
He has been sounding off on
the theory that Marciano hasn't
improved in that span at time.
Ordinarily you would take that
as ticket talk, designed to pro
mote the magnitude of the gath
ering. But LaStarza actually seems i
to believe his pronounced theory.
Possibly ht is giving himself
a psychological lift.
Maybe this purposed LaStar
za disdain is designed to help
him make his way unaided
through the ropes Thursday
night, something number of
Joe Louis' rivals found impos
sible. But psychology ever has
been found to be a poor, cushion
against a sun clout to the whis
kers. For Rollicking Rollie s infor
mation, Marciano has come quite
a -piece since they last engaged
id fisticuffs back in 1980. The
Brockton Block Buster actually
has progressed tremendously in
the year ht has ruled the div
ision. L Buchanan
Triumphs in
Hiimimb
Honor came to Larry Buchan
an, a Medford boy, trophy tri
umph mounted, yesterday in the
motorcycle hill-climb event spon
sored by the Rogue River Ram
blers when he not only won the
trophy for the day's rides but
also the purse of the fastest ride
over the top of the hill.
Buchanan's ride on the hill on
the Walker ranch in the Sams
Valley district was spectacular
from the start He rode his ma
chine standing on the foot boards
and with his front wheel raised
off the ground for at least 30
feet. The hill was one which the
promoters considered tough and
they doubted that the top would
be reached.
Floyd Young, Talent, was sec
ond, and Don Sample, Medford,
third.
Penty of ThrOls
There were plenty.of thrills in
this hill-climb with several of
the riders looping' their equip
ment on the hill, only to have
their machines come rolling
down the steep bank. One rider,
not only lost control of his ma
chine but he also somersaulted
along in the air with the cycle.
Immediately after the hill
climb the spectators were asking
for more, so some qualifying
heat laps were taken on the race
track - with lap money posted.
This event brought out some
riders who did not enter the hill
climb. Sample won this event
closely followed by Chuck
Krause, Medford.
Next event was the popular
"dig-put" It called for speed
shifting, acceleration and horse
power. Sample, who was riding a
74 Harley-Davldson road ma
chine, won this event along with
a very good cash purse.
The Rogue River Ramblers are
planning another event before
winter, a motorcycle round-up,
with all cycle events, such as
hill-climb, field meet and race to
be in the program.

Los Angeles U.R) Ken Rose-
wall and Lewis Head, Austral

were causing United .States ten
nis adherents to wonder if the

tennis supremacy.
The speculation began after
the Australian duo defeated the
United Etates' top tennis stars
Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert in
the men's singles and doubles
championships at the Pacific
Southwest Tennis Tournament
yesterday.
Rosewall performed the big
job of the day when he defeated
Wimbledon champion Vic Seixas
6-4, 1-8, 3-8, 6-1, 8-4 to win the
men's singles title. He had de
feated U.S. national champion
Tony Trabert to enter the final

The Medford gridders play at

the first of four straight contests
on rival fields. Next appearance
of the Tornado on its home

Medford was missing one tad
in the Crater fray. Gary Strong
who bruised a thigh muscle last
week, suited up but did not get
into action.
The Tornado squad probably
will bet a good review of most
all points of the game in prac

attention would be given- to
