SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sports World With Optimism for 1955 By LEO H. PETERSON United Press Sports Editor New York (U.PJ Sborts en joyed another successful year In 1954. Business boomed at the box office and for sheer drama in the playing fields there re few years to equal the one Just passed. And far 1955, the sports world looked ahead optimistically. Only minor league baseball appeared headed for trouble, Kut that Jo Tinthinir new for the situation with the minors has grown worse every year since into. Except for thee minors, all other sports enjoyed banner sea eons. There was nothing to ap proach the boom years right aft er the war, but attendance and box office receipts generally were higher than in 1953. Athletes Supply Drama But far overshadowing the brisk business at the turnstiles, was the drama supplied by the athletes themselves. And topping that department was one of the greatest feats in sports history the first mile run under four minutes. Roger Bannister, a tall, thin English doctor, became the first human to accomplish man's dream on May 6 when on the rain-soaked track at Oxford he ran the dis tance in 3:59.4. But that mark was not- to stand long, because before the war was out the four minute "barrier had been cracked three more times, with John Landy, of Australia, turning in the best MIBL Resumes Actiyity Tonight; 11 Games in 4 Days During Week MIBL STANDINGS W l Pet.

Medford junior high ninth grade goes into action on Fri day against the Crater freshmen at Central Point. Play in one other prep con ference, the Rogue league, won't start until January 14. Gil Turner Meets Italo Scortichini New York (U.R) Can Joe Louis help Gil Turner again to night? The odds-makers say he can't. And they've tabbed middle weight Turner of Philadelphia a 13-5 underdog for his televis ion fight with slick, quick Italo Scortichini of Italy at St. Nich olas arena. Turner, 24, has been getting instructions and inspiration from ex-heavyweight champion Bomber Joe. He has been taking an in-person Louis course some what similar to the one that helped light heavyweight con tender Paul Andrews belt out top-rated Boardwalk Billy Smith at Miami last Wednesday night. Tonight's fight will be the second for Turner under Jolting Joe's tutelage. On Nov. 24, Gil stopped F,ay Drake of New York in the ninth round at Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway arena. And he said Louis was largely respon sible for his victory. Looks Ahead time, 3:58.0 at Turku, Finland, on June 21. Then in the "Mile of the Century" in the British Empire games at Vancouver on Aug. 7, both Bannister and Landy performed the feat again. With more persons than ever before watching a foot race, be cause it was televised through out, the United States and Canada, Bannister forged to the front on the last half lap and won by four vards in 3:58.6. Landy was timed in 3:59.6. Other Dramatic Moments There were many other dra matic moments in the sports world in 1954. Ed Furgol, with a withered left arm, won the U. S. Open; Mrs. Babe Didrick son Zaharias, one year after un dergoing a cancer operation which threatened to end her career, won the U. S. Women's Open; Determine became the first gray ever to win the Ken tucky Derby. Willie Mays made one oj the most sensational catches in World Series history in the first game as the Cinderella New York Giants swept tte Cleve land Indians in four straight. Rocky Marciano proved he belonged among the great heavy weight champions by defeating Ezzard Charles twice, the first time by a decision in a bout which had the fans cheering wildly as for a time it looked like the Cincinnati Negro would upset the Brockton block-buster; and there were the. tennis tri umphs" of Jaroslov Drobny, Vic Seixas and Doris Hart. Yellow Cab against Sacred Heart at 7 p.m. and the Campus Five against Headquarters com pany of the National Guard at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday Burelson's takes on Company A of the National Guard at 7 p.m. and Skinner's Buick meets Andy's in the fol lower here.

Eagle Point goes to -Prospect. Andy's arid Yellow Cab are current loop leaders with three wins and no losses each. Don Bailey Has Pro Ball Aspirations San Francisco U.R) Don Bailey, the understudy who be came the star of the East's 13-12 victory over the West, said to day he would like to play pro fessional football "if anybody willhave me." The 178-pound Penn State quarterback, voted the most out standing player in the Shrine classic Saturday, should have little worry about being over looked by the pros. Professional scouts unani mously hailed Bailey as the star of the game. These included Clark Shaugh nessy of the Chicago Bears, Red Strader and Frankie Albert of the San Francisco Forty Niners and Dick Gallagher of the Cleve land Browns. Others Praised And coach Chuck Taylor of Stanford, an advisory coach for the West, said "Bailey was pri marily a faster quarterback,, and that speed in getting the ball away, his snap, got the jump on the West." Although the lion's share of the acclaim went to Bailey, lots of credit was given to Ralph Guglielmi, Notre Dame's All American quarterback; Penn State's Jim Garrity; California's Matt Hazeltine and Cincinnati's Dick Goist. Guglielmi, who had been ex pected to keep Bailey on the bench most of the game, entered the game fighting off the effects of a siege of flu which hospital ized him last Thursday and Fri day morning. Nevertheless, his touchdown pass to Purdue's John Kerr in the fourth quarter was describ ed by Strader as "the beauty which broke the West's back." Hazeltine Top Lineman Garrity followed up that TD by kicking the point after touchdown that gave the East its razor-thin victory. His catch of Bailey's pass mentioned by Gal lagher also was a key play. The West's Hazeltine was named the outstanding lineman of the game. The big center scored the West's first touch down when he picked off Gug lielmi's first pass, blocked a con version attempt that kept the score tied at 6-6 and otherwise played a whale of a game on defense. The East coach, Dr. Eddie An derson of Holy Cross and Bailey joined in praising the play of Goist. Bailey said Goist saved the game with his pass defense in the second half and "picked up the whole club" as he hit the line for four and six yards that helped the East keep control of the ball. Monday, January 3. 195 NCAA Annual Convention Begins in NY New York (U.R) The 49th annual convention- of the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation gets under way today with a meeting of the executive committee, but the most of the fireworkes aren't expected until later this week. More than 1,400 representa tives from 424 universities and colleges have gathered at two noteis lor tne weeK-iong con clave. Five affiliated organi zations also have scheduled their annual meetings to coincide with the NCAA convention. Committee metings will keep may of the members busy today and Tuesday, then the NCCA tel evision committee will meet on Wednesday. Five possible plans for the future televising of col lege football games will be pre sen ted to the membership at a round table discusion Thurs day. General Business Session A general business session tops Friday's schedule and the convention will come to a close Saturday with a meeting of. the NCAA council. Many college representatives still are not satisfied with the NCAA's eame-of-the-week foot ball program and will get chance to consider the commit tee's newest proposals at Thurs day's round table meeting. Among the plans which will be presented for a straw vote of the memDership are a nation al-regional type of program, a strictly regional plan, unre stricted television, and a one rule plan which would permit any member college to televise one of its home games and ap pear oa television in one of its away games, only one of which may be carried on a network National Region Plan Under the national - regional Dlan. the United States . would be divided into regions for the television purposes and colleges would be allowed to telecast any time once at home and once away from home on stations in regions where games are played. At today's executive meeting, recommendations for dates' and sites for several national cham pionships during 1955 will be presented for approval. The American Association of College Football Coaches and the sports divisi'on of the Amen can College Public Relations As sociation also planned to meet today. Other groups which will hold meetings during the week in clude the American Football Coaches Association, the College Athletic Business Manager's Association and the. National Collegiate Track Coaches Asso ciation. Quarterbacks Dominated Bowl Frays By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Even the most critical Mon day morning quarterbacks join ed in the cheering today for three of Saturday's quarterbacks who personally guided Ohio State and Navy to brilliant bowl victories on New Year's day. As a group, quarterbacks dom inated practically . every game played Jan. 1 but their eye catching, performances somehow attracted the most attention in the Rose and Sugar Bowl games. The nation's television view ers who watched Ohio State's 20-7 victory over .Southern Cal ifornia in the mud-drenched Rose Bowl at Pasadena. Calif.. for example, couldn't help but notice Buckeye quarterback Dave Leggett each time they looked at the screen. He ran to one touchdown, passed to an other and sparked a drive that led to the third score. Credits Quarterbacks Navy Coach Eddie Erdelatz said that first and second-string quarterbacks George Welsh and Dick Echard "did it for us" aft er the Middies mauled" Missis sippi, 21-0, in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans. Leggett, Welsh and Echard seemed .to set the pattern for other quarterbacks to follow in virtually New Year's Day games. - Don Bailey, Penn State quar terback, was voted the outstand ing player in the last's 13-12 victory over the West in the an nual Shrine game at San Fran cisco, and quarterback Jerry Barger of Duke passed for two touchdowns in the Blue Devil's 34-7 rout of Nebraska in the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla. Line-smashing fullbacks fea tured Georgia 'Tech's 14-6 vic tory over Arkansas in the Cot ton Bowl at Dallas, Tex., but in the Sun Bowl at El Paso, Tex., quarterback Jess Whittenton passed for two and kicked five extra points as Texas Western licked Florida State, 47-20. BASKETBALL SATURDAY COLLEGE SCORES Minila 57 Portland State 49 Linfield 90 Dahl and Penne (Port land) 80. , MEDFORDTRIBUNE mm Fanfare With the beginning of a new year the traditional time for making resolutions, this depart ment has one to suggest. It deals, perhaps, with a touchy subject. It will be unpopular probably, with a lot of fans who take their basketball seriously. The sug gestion, however, is that backers of Medford high's Black Tornado both adults and students should resolve to refrain from this incessant and excessive boo ing at games. Although booing at any time is not the best of conduct, this writer can stomach occasional spontaneous outbursts of disap proval. They come naturally from most avid, loyal fans. But the prolonged, deliberate and unsportsmanlike booing when a referee's decision doesn't favor Medford had ought to be stopped. It's not the itention of this de partment to try to dampen the rising enthusiasm for Medford's fine team this year. The Black Tornado has the potential to go a long way and loyal cheering fans can help it. But booing just doesn't accomplish any good and in the long run could hurt both the team and the community. PIRATES JOLTED When Areata, Calif., v)'as jolted by an earthquake early last Thursday morning, it felt like a truck ran into the side of the . hotel room, . according to Coach Jack Woodward of the Phoenix high basketball team. A short, sharp jar was felt. "I knew it was an earth quake," Woodward said. The jolt was a big disturbance to the sleep of the Pirate players but they aren't offering it as an alibi for their defeat on Thursday night. Phoenix split its series at Areata and considered it good experience, reporting that the California town has a "pretty good team" with a number of regulars back from last year. Woodward indicated that the Pirates shot from the field bet ter than they have in other games this season. Free shot accuracy by Areata hurt Phoe College Basketball Quints Launch Conference Action By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer College basketball lays aside the tinsel trappings of holiday tournaments and gets down to the brass tacks of official con ference play tonight with the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Conference heading the sched ule. , The last major tourney cham pion of the Christmas season was duly crowned at Buffalo, N. Y., on Saturday night when Canisius whipped St. Bonaven- ture, 59-56, in the finals of the Queen City Invitational. But that victory was over shadowed that night by a non- tournament game in which North Carolina State, the na tion's No. 2 ranked team riding a 12-game unbeaten streak this season, took a 91-78 walloping from twice-beaten Villanova for one of the major upsets of the season. The Big Ten staged its first official action of the season on Saturday when Wisconsin drub bed Illinois, 79-64, but that famed league really starts cook ing on all burners tonight with a program of four games: Indi ana - Michigan, Wisconsin - Iowa, Ohio State-Michigan State and Northwestern-Minnesota. Coast League Opens A single game at Pullman, Wash., , matching Oregon and Washington State, lifts the cur tain on the Pacific Coast Con ference season tonight and that league will be going full blast at the end of the week. The Big Seven and the South west Conferences both begin of ficial play Tuesday night, each with four games involving every league team. The Southeastern Conference, which has had only one game,will stage one on Fri day night and then go into high gear Saturday with five. Kentucky, ranked the nation's No. 1 team, ran its winning streak to seven games this sea son and 32 over a two-year span by trouncing Temple, 101-69. The Wildcats set a new record for Philadelphia's Convention Hall by sinking 43 baskets, two over the record set nine years ago by Rhode Island State. Pac ing the Kentucky assault were Bob Burrow with 25 points and Ray Mills with 24 but Temple's Harry Silcox had 29. LaSalle, ranked No. 3 nation- RACE SANCTIONED Boise, Ida (U.R) The Pacific Northwest Ski Association has sanctioned the first annual Muddy Numbers Cup Race, a slalom event which will be spon sored by the Davos Dusters Skj Club of Boise in mid-March. EBTTS By DICK JEWETT Mail tribuiM Sports Editor nix in the second game. COUNTERPART Glenn Peterson, Medford high's band leading basketball player has counterpart at Jeffer son high in Portland. Gene Gin ther, a 6-foot 8-inch center on the hoop court, leads the Demo band. Big Pete has done GintherJ one better as drum major for the Tornado band at Shrine East West football games at San Fran cisco. Ginther's role as well as Peterson's were mentioned Sun day in Bob Swan's Oregonian Prep Patter. ROONEY CLUB UNBEATEN Bob also tells of Coach Ed Rooney . and his unbeaten St. Helen's high basketball team. Rooney will be remembered in this area as coach for two years at Jacksonville high. He was jayvee tutor at Beaverton last season . . . Woes of Eagle Point Coach Jerry Mosby, first with his own injury and then with those of his football and basket ball players, in meeting ambi tious schedules are also subjects of comment by Swan. CONFERENCE STARTS Questions, fans have been ask ing about the strength of the teams in the Southern Oregon Conference will be answered this week end when Medford plays Grants Pass and Klamath Falls tackles Ashland in the league hoop openers. Comparative scores seem to favor Medford's Tornado over the Cavemen but the real test comes only when they face each other. The two clubs tied in the Southern Oregon Conference jamboree but Medford has had the more sparkling record since then. Common foes have been North Bend, Eagle Point and Roseburg. Grants Pass lost to North Bend and Medford won from the Bulldogs in a pair of close contests. Medford and GP each defeated Roseburg and Eagle Point, the Tornado by more impressive spreads. The Black Tornado split with Eu gene which has defeated Marsh field and Marshfield hung two setbacks on the Cavemen. ally, played the only major game on Sunday and downed St. Louis. The defending NCAA champions broke out of a 62-62 tie with 10 minutes left with six straight points on two' set shots by Charley Singley and two free throws by Ail-American Tom Gola and never were headed. Gola had 34 points, Singley 24. ' - Buck Coach Qualifies Comments By FA YE LOYD Pasadena, Calif. U.R) Woody Hayes, the glib, bouncy Ohio State coach who won the Rose Bowl game but made few friends in Southern California with post-game comments, mel lowed a bit today as he depart ed for home. ' He said his team might not, after all, have been able to beat UCLA had the Buckeyes and Bruins, the latter named na tional champions by the United Press board of coaches, met Sat urday in the Rose Bowl. But stage a football "World Series," speculated Hayes, and Ohio State would emerge in company with the New York Giants. The Buckeye coach, following his 20 to 7 victory over second' ranked Pacific Coast conference team Southern California made comments uncomplimentary to the Trojans and the playing con ditions in the rain-soaked Rose Bowl, adding: "I definitely think we are still the No. 1 team in the country over UCLA." The Bruins, who whipped Southern California 34 to 0, were unable to play in the Rose Bowl be cause of a "no return rule. One Game Unfair , Today, however, Hayes said he thought one game between Ohio State and UCLA would be unfair to both teams, insofar as settling a disputed national championship. "We should play at least five games," he said. ' "I do think that out of a se ries we'd win most of them be cause we play a tougher sched ule. I don't think UCLA could have lived up to that schedule of ours. The Big Ten in 1954 was unbelievable in strength." , Coach Red Sanders of UCLA, meanwhile, declined to engage Hayes in a verbal wrestling match over which man had the better team. "To get into controversial comment about the comparative strength of teams, difference in scores and what not," said Sand ers, "is kinda like a hoop. There's no end to it and I think it's somewhat juvenile." ' , Pere-Scope First Down Determiner By SCOTT 'BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) The flask, electric clock and hand warmer, all have taken their place on the football scene and now comes the "Pere-Scope" which is designed to make first down measurements foolproof. It was invented by Louis P. Peresenyi, a former director of physical education at St. Mary's and spring into national prom inence last New Year's day when it appeared along the sidelines at the East-West Shrine game! The "Pere-Scope" resembles a surveyor's transit and replaces the front pole of the chain gang. A hair-line within the four-power mechanism marks the exact spot where the ball should touch for a first down and Peresenyi says this eliminates the need of the head linesman running out with the chain gang to measure first downs. He just has to peer into this telescope and is able to wave to the referee whether a first down has been made or not. "It's easy to operate and it speeds up the game," Peresenyi says. "Ana it also insures an accurate decision for both teams regardless of weather conditions or errors in lining up the field." Peresenyi points out that quite a few football gridirons are out of line. "At one college field the Pere Scope picked up a 36-inch er ror," Peresenyi says. "Although tne lines were parallel to each other they were not at right angles to the sidelines." Peresenyi, who has applied for a patent and is asking the NCAA football rules committee to approve the instrument, has estimated that it has saved about 10 minutes per game. Peresenyi says he got the idea for the Pere-Scope in 1934 when on the athletic staff at Pennsyl vania but he never got around to building it until last summer. Only one Pere-Scope is in ex istence. He estimates they will retail at $200 each if he goes into mass production. Soggy Track Wrecks Try By Santee New Orleans (U.R) " Wes Santee, the world's greatest ac tive miler, had no apologies to day for his slow time in the Sugar Bowl Track meet. "I'll break four minutes when conditions are right," said the 22-year-old Ashland, Kan., "An telope" who will run next Jan. 16 at Los Angeles. Santee put together quarters of 68-62-65-59 for a disappoint ing '4: 14, far off his unofficial American mile record of 4:00.6 set at the Compton Relays last June. The race, however, was held on a track still soggy from rain that forced a postponement of the meet from Friday until Sun day. An early morning rain on Sunday left the track even slow er. Set Record In 1953 The six-one, 146-pound Kan san set the Sugar Bowl record of 4:04.2 last year. Kansans completed the sweep of Sunday's mile. Bill Tidwell, Emporia, Kans., Kansas State, was second at 4:15.5 and Kansas University's Art Dazall, third in 4:15.5. Big Jim Mashburn, independ ent from Oklahoma A&M, was chosen "most outstanding" ath lete of the meet for his stellar performance in defeating NCAA champ Jim Lea of Southern Cal. in the 440-yard run. Mashburn, former Olympic performer, finished in 48.0, fol lowed by Lea, 48.8, and Rice's Harold Griffin, 49.9. New Relay Record The Rice one-mile relay team, Griffin, Roy Thompson, George Salmon, and Don Pucek, broke fee old Sugar Bowl record of 3:16.4 set by Oklahoma A&M in 1949 with a 3:16.1 performance. Second-place Texas University also broke the old record in 3:16.3. Oklahoma A&M was third in 3:18.6. Defending NCAA and Sugar Bowl champion Willard Thom son of Illinois , won the opening 120-yard hurdles in 14.3, follow ed by Ray Roberts of Oklahoma A&M and Jim Hollingsworth of Texas A&M. , Deam Smith of the University of Texas took the 100-yard dash in 9.8, beating out Bumper Wat son of the University of Florida by a stride. Bruce Lenoir of Louisiana Tech was third. DUDEN VICTOR Los Angeles U.R) Bob Du- den, Pbrtland, Ore., shot a 33- 33 36 four-under-par yesterday to win Individual honors and a $100 first prize award in Annan- dale golf clubs annual pro-ama-teuu golf tournament. However, Billy Maxwell, ex-U.S. amateur champion from Odessa, Tex., pocketed $300 for taking the first two spots in the pro-amateur di vision. He was paired with local golfers R. G. Smith and Tom Fleming, each team scoring best ball totals of 61. " Oregon, Washington State Start Northern Division Race With Tussle Tonight By UNITED PRESS The 1955 Northern Division Pacific Coast Conference basket ball season gets underway to night with Washington State playing Oregon at Pullman. The two teams play again tomorrow night. The rest of the Northern Divi sion teams go into action Friday and Saturday nights with Idaho against Washington at Seattle and Oregon State playing WSC at Corvallis. Oregon State, defending champion, is the favorite in the division race, with the Washing ton Huskies given the best chance to take the crown away from the Beavers. This will be the last season for the split Pacific Coast Con ference basketball schedule. The teams return to a conference wide round robin schedule in 1956 with southern and north ern teams exchanging visits.

PLC goes on to Vancouver to play UBC Saturday night, while Boxing Floundered Toward Possible Federal Control By JACK CUDDY New York (U.R) Cham pions Carl (Bobo) Olson and Rocky Marciano were redeem ing standouts in 1954 as Ameri can boxing floundered further toward the possibility of fed eral control, and foreign com petition generally lacked sparkle. Hawaiian-born Olson of San Francisco stretched his victory string to 18 straight by winning seven bouts this year. They in cluded three defenses of his middleweight crown against Kid Gavilan, Rocky Castellani and Pierre Langlois TKO 11. He was the busiest of champions and "the Fighter of the Year." Rocky Marciano of Brockton, Mass., the only unbeaten cham pion ever to rule the heavy weight division, finally con vinced the skeptics that he could prevail over a good combination boxer-puncher by twice beating ex-champ Ezzard Charles. r Marciano extended his profes sional streak to 47 victories as he outpointed Ezzard in June and knocked him out in the eighth round in September de spite a badly split nose. Their gates of $543,092 June and $352,- 654 September were the largest of the year anywhere. Fourteen Title Fights There were 14 title fights throughout the world in 1954 and five title changes. But American interest in those bouts and other important scraps was dulled considerably by in vestigations, hearings, accusa tions, charges and counter charges. The ultimate in un favorable publicity was reached when a magazine article accused Jim Norris, the world's foremost promoter, of "fixing" two fights 17 years ago. Norris denied heatedly and announced a $5,- 000,000 libel suit against the magazine. Adding to the turmoil, the New York commission and the National Boxing association were "split" on Dec. 14 over the NBA's withdrawal of recognition from featherweight champion Sandy Saddler because of his THE ALL NEW 1955 Is Only It's Flair Fashioned and Alive With Beauty Thar Price INCLUDES The Following Heater and Defroster Overdrive 2-tone Paint Air Foam Seat Cushions (front and rear seats) Gas Tank Fuel Filter Full Flow Oil Filter Electric Wipers Large Wheel Covers Stone Shields Tubeless Tires Safety Rim Wheels Coat Hooks Oil Beth Air Cleaner Cigar Lighter Prestone Anti-Freeze and Many Other Extras. v v On Display Now LEEVER MOTORS, Inc. ,315 EAST STH STREET Your Local Dealer for DODGE - PLYMOUTH DODGE TRUCKS CPS goes to Western Washing ton. .

A large majority of writ ers at the ringside thought Gavi lan had won the dull bout. Angel Lopez, Gavilan's manager, shout ed "robbery" and "fix."

He out pointed ex-champ SToey Maxim again in their third title fight at Miami, Jan. 27, and knocked out the highly touted Harold Johnson of Philadelphia . at Madison Square Garden in the 14th round, Aug. 11. Those two triumphs and two non-title vic tories extended 38-year old Archie's winning streak to 19. And he now is yelling loudly for a shot at Marciano' s crown.
