(Buck) Shaw, a silver-haired gentleman who learned from the Immortal Knute Rockne. Shaw, a star tackle at Notre Dame and a veteran of both col lege and professional coaching, was named Friday night as "spe cial consultant", to the Air Force Academy's football staff. Shaw will act as freshman and intra mural football consultant, but th annointment was taken to Possible Duck, Navy Football Game Considered Washington U.R) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), said Saturday Navy athletic of ficials promised "every consid eration" for his proposal to have Navy play the University of Oregon football team. But other West Coast teams also want to play the Middies, Neuberger said. . He said Capt. Elliott Lough lin, director of athletics at the Naval Academy, told him Navy was studying its tentative 1959 and 1960 football schedules and would consider a game with Oregon. s Loughlin added that the aca demy wants to "play representa: tive teams in all sections of the country through a cycle of years." , List Final MIBL Rating MIBL, FINAL STANDINGS W.

Birchfield 427 2231 2333 mean that he will be named foot ball coach when the Academy is ready for varsity competition in 1956. The Academy, located near Denver, will play an eight game freshman schedule this fall. T Lt. Col. Robert P. Whitlow, Academy athletic director, has often said he considers Shaw, the recently deposed coach of the professional San Francisco Forty Niners, one of the "great est coaches" in modern foot ball. "We are extremely fortunate that one of the most respected and admired men in the sports world has agreed to advise and helD train our coaches of fresh man and intramural football during this initial year," Lt. Gen. Hubert R. Harmon,-Academy superintendent said. Job Fits Plans Shaw, contacted In Atherton, Calif., said the job "actually fits in fine with my business pJans." He said he plans to take a job with a San Francisco import export firm March 1 and would be at the Air Academy only in July, August and September. The Academy will accept only 300 students this July for the first year of training at its tem norarv headauarters near Den ver. The permanent multi-mil lion dollar Academy north oi Colorado Springs won't be ready until 1957, and it will be 1960 before the school will have a major football schedule. Shaw said the possibilities at the Academy were "great," but that it would take time to build. "If they like me and I like it there, then we'll talk about my taking over the head coach job," he said. Tony Morabito, owner of the Forty Niners and the man who let Shaw go at the end of last season, wished his former coach "a heU of a lot of luck." Ninth Grade Edges Crater . A Medford junior high ninth grade cage aggregation, which had field goal hitting troubles and ran- into unexpected opposi tion, downed the Crater ninth 32 to 27 here Friday. The Bulldogs were on top 10 to 8 at the quarter but the Comet Frosh from Central Point were leading 15 to 13 at the half. Medford got a 26 to 19 third quarter spread but was out- bucketed 8 to 6 in the last quarter. . . Medford was cold from the field in both the second and fourth quarters.

The outcome not only avenged an earlier Rogue River 64 to 58 win over the Bulldogs but pulled Talent into a first place deadlock with the Chieftains. Each club now has a 7-win 1-loss standing in the conference. Both are favored to wind up the regu lar loop slates with victories over their next two foes. If they do, a title play-off will be nec essary on February 25. In other Friday games, St. Mary's of Medford, still mathe matically in the loop running, strengthened grasp on third po sition with a 56 to 34 verdict over Jacksonville. Prospect came through with its first league vic tory, defeating Butte Falls 65 to 55. B loop play continues Tues day with Butte Falls at Jackson ville and St. Mary's at Rogue River. The Prospect trip to Tal ent has been shifted to Wednes day because of a student gov ernment day jaunt to Salem by Prospect seniors. St. Mary's is given a chance to upset Rogue River and such a result likely would assure Talent of the crown. - , A big third quarter, in which Talent outscored the Chiefs 18 to 6 and took a 45 to 23 lead, brought the Bulldog win Friday. Talent also got a lift out of the return of Jack Barrett, who has been out of the line-up two months, out of Jim McAbee's domination on the backboards and out of the shooting of J. Lloyd Wood, McAbee and Zicke foose. The latter also gave fine aid to McAbee in the rebounding. Barrett pulled knee ligaments in a pre-season contest. He play ed about IV2 quarters Friday and his knee seemed to be OK. Gap Too Wide The Buljdogs led at the quar ter 16 to 12 and 27 to 17 at the half. The third stanza 22-point spread was just too much to overcome, although the Chiefs did cut the gap tp 11 points once in the last panel on three quick buckets by Gary Johnson.

Johnson got 17 for Rogue River and was his team's rebounding ace. ' St. Mary's saw the effective outside shooting of Tim Dugan, Laval Meunier and Dick Paup the important factor. The Cru saders broke a lb-all first quar ter tie for a 26 to 21 halftime edge and swished to 45 to 40 in the third period. Dugan was high scorer with 16 and Meunier and Paup knot ted for next high with Bob Gemaehlich of Jacksonville each had 12. Paup did well despite a bum ankle. Regulars Absent Prospect won over a Butte Falls club with several regulars missing. Reason for their ab sence was not told. The Cougars had 11 to 10 quarterly lead but the count was 24-all at the half. Prospect was on top 47 to 40 after three cantos. Ron Couser, Prospect, put in 27 counters. Lee Abbott got 23 for Butte Falls. In junior varsity contests Tal ent beat Rogue River 59 to 45, Prospect downed Butte Falls 44 to 18 and St. Mary's tripped Jacksonville - 50 to 38.
