Under-pressure point scoring
in the final minutes by a star
cnamed Frajilc Ehmann and a sub
named Gerry Moreman moved
Northwestern and Louisville into
contention for national recogni
tion in basketball today with
pair of important triumphs.
Ehmann came through with
basket just 31 seconds before
the final gun to give Northwest
ern a 75-72 Cpset of highly fav
ored Minnesota Monday night
in the opening game of the Big
Ten season for each team,
Moreman provided the key
points that gav Louisville a 73
69 victory over Notre Dame's
Sugar Bowl champions for a fine
record of 11 victories in 13
.games.
Minnesota, ranked No. 10 na
tionally, led Northwestern, 35
32, at half time and was in front
most of the5 way in their clash at
Chicago. Moreover, Dick uar-
maker of the Gophers sot a new
fieldhoufce record of 32 points,
19 of theSh in the second half,
But Ehmann's tally in the final
minutS moved Northwestern in
fror&to stay, 73-72 and then the
onhA score after that was Dick
Mast's free throw for Northwest
ern in the final second.
Free Throws Tell Tale
Notre Dame had a 61-60 lead
o 0 over Louisville with 4:15 to play
0 Louisville when Moreman sank
a pair o ree tnrows to put the
fi CarSinals ahead to stay. Then
o he tut a pop shot to boost the

5 ENew York U.R) Middle
weight Gil Turner of Philadel
phia credited Prof. Joe Louis
today for his latest victory in
one of the twin upsets on tele
vision Monday night.
The 154-pound Turner, who
has changed his style under the
tutelage of Louis, won a unani
mous decision over Italo Scorti
chini of Italy, 15434. in their
return bout at St. Nicholas
arena. Gil was a 13-5 underdog.
In the other TV. bout at
Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway
arna, welterweight Joey Klein
of New York stopped Gerald
Dreyer of South Africa at the
ido of the seventh round be
cause of face cuts. Each weigh-
gfJ 1502 pounds. Klein was an
11-5 underdog. ,
Turner's victory over Scorti-
'chini was significant because it
' "put him over the hump" on
the comeback trail, according to
manager George Katz. "We
know for sure now that the Joe
Louis style has made a new
fighter out of Gil and that he's
really going0 places. We want
oAl Andrews next."

Change of Sub Rule Said
On Football Meet Slate
New York U.R) The
Rules committee of the Ameri
can Football Coaches associa
tion was expected to consider
a possible change in the substi
tution rule today at its opening
meeting.
The committee is composed of
30 college football coaches and
is headed by Lou Little of Col
umbia university.
Little sent out questionnaires
to the committee members fol
lowing the 1954 season. He said
he again received a big response
but not many suggestions.
However, it is common know
ledge that many coaches are dis
satisfied with the present sub
stitution rule, which prohibits
a player from re-entering' a
game in the same quarter in

Hints Consideration
Little hinted that this rule,
which has been in effect for the
last two seasons, will be given
much consideration by the
coaches.
"I think we'll have some
changes," he said, "but I don't
believe we'll go back to the old
two-platoon system."
Once the coaches iron out
their proposed changes they will
be presented to the NCAA Rules
committee, for action at its meet
ing in New York early next
week.
The NCAA Television com
mittee also scheduled a closed
meeting today to consider its
five proposals for possible chan
ges in .the televising of college
football games. These proposals
will be presented to the entire
membership of the NCAA at a
round table discuission Thurs
day. Game Agent To Discuss
Future of Fishing in
Talks During Week
Portland Will Oregon have
fishing in the future? This ques
tion will be considered when
Milt Guymon, education agent
for the Oregon .Game Commis
sion, discusses fisheries manage
ment at Eagle Point, Talent and
Phoenix high schools on Thurs
day, January 6, and Jacksonville
high school and Howard grade
school on Friday, January 7.
The 20-minute chart-illustrated
talk points out the requirements
for the preservation of fish life
and the problems which must be
overcome in the proper manage
ment of this valuable resource.
Following the talk, a sound, col
or movie, produced by the Ore
gon Game Commission, entitled
"Trout Story" will be shown. The
film tells the story that fish
hatcheries play in relation to
over-all fisheries management.
This is the third in a series of
conservation programs being pre.
sented to students throughout
the state by game commission
personnel. Previous programs at
Eagle. Point high were on basic
conservation and big game man
agement. TROTTERS WIN

63-56 Win
Pullman, Wash. (U.R) Wash
ington- State opened the North
ern Division basketball season
last night by upsetting the ex
perts and the University of Ore
gon with a 63-56 victory.
Most predictors had given
Oregon the decided edge in the
ND opener.
Sophomore Forward Al
Kamps uncorked a surprise
hook shot to share his team scor
ing honors with stellar Forward
Ron Bennick. Each scored 13
points. Forward Jim Loscutoff
of Oregon was high point man
for the night with 16.
Oregon took an early lead,
scoring four points before WSC
scored and remained 'ahead the
first 10 minutes of play. Then
second platoon Guard Jack Gar-
ton dropped in a field goal to
give the Cougars a 13-12 'lead,
which they held the remainder
of the half.
Washington State led 34-27 at
halftime.
Oregon closed the gap as the
second half opened, but Wash
ington State went ahead 40-31
within four minutes, its biggest
margin of the game. Three bas
kets by guard Howard Page
brought Oregon back within
three , points and Loscutoff
dropped in five points in a row
to give Oregon a brief lead.
With four minutes to play,
WSC led 55-53 and went into a
semi-stall, piling up six of its

Black Tornado Will Carry
Better Record Into Scries
Medford's Black Tornado will
carry the better pre-league team
record into Southern Oregon
conference basketball action
this week end but that doesn't
mean it can't expect plenty of
trouble from the Grants Pass
Cavemen this Friday and Satur
day nights.
Tornado prepsters have roll
ed up 461 points in winning
seven of their eight tune-up con-
CO VV1AXXC VCA V 1.1111.11, kUA-.iuiv
winners, have accumulated 501
in nine, engagements. Medford
has limited the opposition to
354 counters while Grants Pass
foes have collected 465.
Offensively the Tornado has
averaged 57.62 tallies per game
while Grants Pass has fashioned
a 55.77, mark. On defense the
Medfordites have held their ad
versaries to 44.25 points while
rivals of the Cavemen averaged
51.66.
Conjecture
Just what those better Med
ford averages mean in compar
ing the Tornado and Cavemen
is purely a matter of conjecture.
The clubs have played only
three common foes. Grants Pass
has shown enough to indicate
that Medford will have to work
if it is to live up to its aspira
tions.
From the individual scoring
standpoint, capable Jim Reid
could be the big thorn in Black
Tornado flesh in the forthcom
ing series. Reid can shoot well
from the outside and he drives
in close with flash and speed to
score effectively. He's tallied
134 points for the Cavemen this
season and missed one game, at
that, because he was taking
Naval reserve officer exams
Reid's total for eight contests
gives him an average of 16.75
for eight games.
Next in line for GP comes
Raleigh Burr with 114 in 12.6
engagements for a 12.6 per
game record. Don James has
84 and Jay Reese, 78 in nine
games. Mel Drews has counted
up only 29 points for the Cave
men this season but he was com
ing up as 1954 ended with 18
markers in the last two games.
Copple Paces
Medford's top scorers aren't
so widely divided , as those of
the Cavemen. The relaxed,
smooth-working artist, Larry
Copple currently leads the
eight-game' parade with 116
points f6r-14.5 per game. Jerry
Kalapus is next with 94 for 11.25
and Frank Rector has 90 for
an 11.25 average. Rector bulged
his total with 40 counters in
two games against Cleveland of
Portland. Glenn Peterson has 58
for a 7.25 per game showing and
Bud Kastner 50 for 6.25.
The competition between the
guards of each club and among
the forwards and centers should
prove equally interesting.
Guards of both clubs, Copple
and Rector for Medford, and
Reid and Don James of Grants
Pass, are capable in both floor
play in shooting. All are danger
ous to leave open for shots from
almost any spot in the general
vicinity of the . basket. Rector
and Copple, go boys in the Med
ford offense, have hook shots
k0
Phone
2-7103
that possibly make them more
versatile scorers.
Ball Thieves
Cavemen teams . in. .recent
years have usually had a man
or two clever at stealing the
ball from the opposition. Reid
and James are adept at this art,
judging from a recent perform
ance against Crater high.
While Medford " has its best
height in many season with Kal
apus and Peterson at 6-foot 4 Vz,
each. The Cavemen have. Burr
at 6-5 and seemingly more rug
ged than the Medfordites. Burr
and Reese, slightly over 6 feet,
have been top men under the
boards for the Cavemen. And
Mel Drews, 6-1 Vi, while lacking
polish, is rough, under the hoop.
Bill Mendenhall, ,6-2, absent
from GPs last four games be
cause of flu, is expected.to.be
on hand for the Tornado series
and may bump aside Drews. .
kalapus, ' Kastner and "Peter
son have; been leading the Med
ford rebounding . and Kastner
has : been .tough all-around on
defense, holding down top. guns
of rival crews in several games.
Customs Hold
Up Davis Cup
New York (U.R) Billy Tal-
bert ran into red tape instead of
ticker tape when he brought the
Davis Cup back to . New -, York
Monday night from Australia.
The non-playing , captain of
the victorious U.S. team was
greeted by reporters and pho
tographers . at Idlewild Airport
when his plane arrived from Los
Angeles. All wanted a look at
the huge - cup, . which had re
mained in Australia for the last
five years.
Packed in two boxes, " the
trophy was shipped on the same
plane with Talbert but- wound
up at the airport's bonded cargo
section. Since it was valued
above the foreign duty allow
ance, the cup would have to
await custom clearance in the
morning, Talbert was told.
All hands appeared crestfallen
including several' U.S. Lawn
Tennis Association officials who
were ' waiting to claim the
trophy.
However, after a 30-minute
delay, a special waiver was ob
tained and custom officials
turned over the cup to Talbert,
who . grinned proudly for the
cameramen.

By HAL WOOD
San, Francisco (U.R) There
were nearly as many pro scouts
in the press box as there were
newspapermen for the. annual
Shrine East-West game last Sat
urday. Know who they liked?
None other than Ralph Gug
lielmi, the ailing Notre Dame
quarterback, who played less
than a third of the game due to
a severe chest cold. '
"Guglielmi is a cinch to be the
bonus pick in the 'draft," said
backfield coach Frankie Albert
of the. San Francisco Forty
Niners. "That boy has got it.
He'll go good in the pro rants."
Guglielmi got up out of a sick
bed to spark one touchdown
drive; and his signal calling,
picking holes in the West de
fense was superb in the opinion
of the scouts. .
A "Real Pro"
A lineman who looked like a
"real pro" in the opinion of the
scouts, was Jack Ellena, the
UCLA tackle, who already has
been drafted.
Paul Larson,' Calif ornia quar
terback, had a bad day and
George Shaw of Oregon had the
most success in directing the
West s attack. Shaw appeared to
be much the . better passer. The
professional scouts think he'll
make a fine halfback, or an end,
but he won't stick as a signal
caller in the big leagues.
PCC Spring
Ban Topic
Los Angeles (U.R) . Presi
dents of Pacific Coast Confer
ence schools indicated today
they ma v amend their ban on
spring football training sched
uled to begin in 1956.
At a PCC meeting here vester
day, President Robert Gordon
Sproul of the University of Cali
fornia would not say pointblank
that "reconsideration" of the ban
was underway.
However. Storoul told a nress
conference the presidents would
meet with faculty athletic advis
ers, prior to the May meeting of
the conference in Portland, Ore.
The indication was that the
PCC was seeking a means of
gracefully - falling in line with
the NCAA policy of 20 practice
sessions in 30 days, which was
adopted after the PCC decided
to abandon spring practice in
1956.
4-Point Prooram
- Sproul, acting as spokesman
for the college presidents, said
they discussed a four point pro
gram for athletics. Point four
was limitation or abolition of
spring practice. : - - -
Observers interpreted Sproul's
use of the word "limitation" to
mean that the presidents dis
cussed no lessening of the em.
phasis on spring training other
man total abolition.
A poll taken bv coaches amnno
players, Sproul said. disHneH
that 25 per cent were for lim
itation or abolition of snrin
practice, 25 per cent were against
any such moves and 50 per cent
leaned toward having spring
practice.
Sproul said the group also dis
cussed a program that included
adoption of higher educational
requirements for all athlete.
which would force them to main
tain an average of "C" for their
four year university term. ,
ine presidents also discussed
restricting the length of the
playing seasons for football, bas
ketball and baseball but no def
inite agreements were reached
other than that a 10 game sched
ule was acceptable, Sproul . said.
