Z- EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON)
IVledford Wrestlers Down
Grants Pass Team 28-20
Medford high wrestlers - de
feated Grants Pass 28 to 20 here
last night in a team match
which saw the outcome in doubt
until the 11th match was fin
ished.
The Tornado team won six of
the 12 regular matches. Grants
Pass took four and two tussles
were draws. Three Tornado vic
tories were by pins and three by
decisions. Grants Pass won two
by falls and two , by decisions.
There were 14 exhibition
bouts. Grants Pass won eight of
these and Medford six. For the
Ashlanders
Could
Rely
It's not known just what Ash
land's Al Simpson, an old master
at coaching, is devising this week
as the Grizzlies prepare for their
basketball series with the Med
ford high Black Tornado. But, if
preparations iohow someining oz
the pattern of previous games,
speed could play a considerable
role in the Ashland attack.'
The speed is aimed at making
up for a deficiency in height and
Harry Johnson, 5 feet 8 inches,
and Jerry Mickle, 5-9, are the
playmakers and the "go" boys
on the fast break.
Ashland has several six footers
to mix the action under the back
boards but its height won't quite
match that of the Black Tornado
'end the Grizzlies may be with
out the service of one of their
taller youths. While the altitude
could be a bit more than that
which is shown on the Ashland
roster, Stuart Baker is shown as
the tallest Grizzly at 6-2. Jim
Sutherlin, Phil- Sword arid Gene
Parent are listed at 6-1 each.
Sutherlia A Question - -
Sutherlin suffered a locked
knee last Saturday- and whether
he'll be. able' to go. against the
Tornado in games in Medford on
Friday and Ashland on Saturday
was not known today.' Coach
Simpson -has told an Ashland
writer that he doesn't think the
tall boy will be ready for Med
ford but that there's some chance
he will be available for duty the
following week . against . Grants
Pass. It's likely Sutherlin will
have to wear some sort of brace.
If. Sutherlin, a strong re
bounder, is missing against the
Tornado, Phil Sword probably
will be in his place. Parent,
Baker, Mickle and Johnson are
almost certain to be the players
rounding out the starting five.
- Ashland will come into the
Medford series with a record of
four wins and four losses this
season. They split with the Klam
ath Falls Pelicans in the South
ern Oregon Conference last week
end. They have defeated the
Grizzly alumni and hold two vic
tories over Crescent City, a team
beaten by Grants Pass.
Fair Workout
Losses in addition to . that to
Klamath were by one point to
Bend and to Madras and Fortuna,
which Grants Pass beat."
Coach Frank Roelandt said
that the Medford high squad had
a fair workout last night. He said
that the Medf ordites appeared a
bit tired but felt certain that they
would snap out of it and work
things lose. They reportedly
were au in good health.
Drills last night followed the
usual pattern of working against
both opposition defense and of-
' f ense and more of the same was
anticipated for this afternoon.
The Black Tornado is carrying
ine designation ol No. 1 in the
state but the club is gunning at
continued improvement and not
resting on any rating laurels.
Two Coaches Bow Out
Of LA Rams' Picture
Los Angeles U.R) Dan
Beeves, president of the Los An
geles Rams pro football team,
was aue to return to Los Ange
les today following a trip East in
searcn oz a new head coach.-
The Rams' front office said
that Reeves' return did not mean
he had picked a coach and that
it might be a week or longer
before a . successor to Hampton
Pool is named.- '
Two top candidates for the
coaching job. bowed out of the
running yesterday. Eddie Erde-
latz of Navy signed a new five
year contract with the naval
academy and Coach Blanton Col

Castellani and Holly Mims, a
couple of serious-minded family
men with only one thought in
mind tangle in a 12-round na
tionally televised fight tonight
with the prize the answer to
their single thought a crack
at the world . middleweight
championship.
"Ifs something I've been
dreaming of and aiming for ever
since I started boxing pro seven
years ago," Mims said. "Now
that I've finally got this far,
I'll be ready." .
The winner will fight champ
ion Carl (Bobo) Olson here with
in 90 days. It would be the first
chance for Mims, a Washington,
D.C, Negro. Castellani, the Lu
zerne, Pa., 160-pounder, now
fighting out of Cleveland lost a
unanimous 15-round decision to
Olson in August. .
The balding Olson, who Thurs
day receives the Fighter of the
Year award from the Boxing
Writers Association in New
York, will be at ringside to see
who will be the next person to
challenge his crown.
The fight will provide Castel
lani the first real opportunity to
determine whether his "new"
boxing technique can lead him
to the world title, once Known
as a clinching, hit-and-run type
who depended : oh defensive
maneuvering, Castellani says he
now has become a tiger.
He teed off on hapless Moses
Ward here last month and final
ly put him under for good in
the seventh round. It was his
most r impressive performance
since he came under the tute
lage of Alvin Naiman, the junk
dealer - who .has acted as, h i s
fairy godfather in lining up "title

White Sox
Stronger For
1955 Season
By ED SAINSBURY
Chicago (U.R) Marty Mar
ion , declared ., today - the .1955
White Sox had "definitely added
power and a better bench" than
the 1954 club and stated flatly
his' team would beat out the
Cleveland Indians and the New
York Yankees for the' American
League pennant. "' . 5 ;
'I feel that we have improved
the club .in our two deals," he,
said, "and : I don't think - that
Frank Lane is through yet. ;
"We're pretty well set," he
said, "and we're ready , to open
the season as we are. .
"Of course, there is never' a
position 'you- wouldn't like to
strengthen, but I think we've got
a pennant winner as we stand."
Five Starring Pitchers
- Marion figured he had five
starting pitchers in southpaws
Billy Pierce and Jack Harsh
man and righthanders Virgil
Trucks, Sandy Consuegra and
Bob Keegan. But he anticipated
also that Morrie Martin and Ted
Gray, both lefthanders, . would
start on occasion and . that Con
suegra, ; with "his terrific con
trol," would do relief work as
well as start. ;.... ;
He also tabbed Mike Forniel
es as a potential star' Hurler on
the basis of his American assoc
iation performance with Charles
ton last year after he was farm
ed out by the White Sox. V
Marion listed a . four player
outfield with Minny Minoso, in
left, Johnny Groth.and Jim Riv
era alternating in center and
Bob Nieman, obtained in , t h e
trade with Baltimore in right.
But he said, When Groth is in
center, Rivera will be in right"
Marion sa4d , he - planned on
Walt Dropo,' : obtained from De
troit, at first base, Nellie Fox at
second, '. Chico Carrasquel ; at
short and George Kell at third.

Only Minor Grid
Changes Likely
New York (U.R) The
NCAA's Football Rules commit
tee was expected to wind up a
three-day' meeting today by an
nouncing only minor changes in
the 1955 code.
Fritz Crisler of Michigan, the
chairman of the committee, said
"There would be changes but
nothing fundamental or as signi
ficant as - the substitution rule
of two years ago."
Crisler revealed that Tues
day's meeting was spent mostly
in- discussing various ways to
eliminate the "sucker shift"
whereby offensive linemen de
liberately iry to lure; the de
fensive line offside. He said the
current rule forbids the shift
and that the problem is to simp
lify the rule so that it can be
enforced more easily. ,
The committee also considered
the possibility of making tackles
eligible to receive forward
passes as well as safety factors
and equipment. v
