Medfo: Tribune '"tr : i VALDES STOPPED BY MOORE Nino Valdes of Cuba has a wild look in one eye and practically no look in the other as he faces light-heavyweight champ Archie Moore in the sixth round of 15-round non-title bout at Las Vegas, Nev. Moore won the decision, establishing himself as the top contender for the heavyweight crown. Sport Parade y OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) If you are one of those unfortunates who flub a, needed three-foot putt, gutter the ball when-you have to make a spare, or choke up on the speech which sounded so fine in your bedroom, take a tip from Willard Nfxon. Nixon is the strapping right hander of the Boston Red Sox who has been driving the New York Yankees daffy for two years. He beat them four times last season, and already has gone halfway that far this time around, one of his wins being a fine two-hitter. The Yankees say they can't understand it, yet it's merely a matter of "diaphragmatic breath ing." Of course, the big Georgia boy needs a fine fast ball and a good change up to make it stick. But one of the big reasons why he's off to one of his finest starts in a six-year major league career is plain old deep breathing. 'Barney Google' The word on this comes from Jack Lacy, who was the original of the "Barney Google" comic strip character made famous by Billy DeBeck after they were kids together in Chicago's stocK- vard district. "Barney" didn't need DeBeck's "Spark Plug." He made his fortune teaching some 100,000 sales executives - and salesmen how to' breathe to Stahley Sets Full Scrimmage for Idaho Moscow, Idaho (U.R) Head Coach Skip Stahley said today he would put his Vandals through a full game scrimmage Saturday, then wind up spring football practice May 11. Barring bad weather, the Un iversity of Idaho mentor said he would have a one-day margin to finish his final eight practices of the 20 allowed under Coast conference rules. There was speculation on the Idaho campus that Stahley will field an airminded team next fall. Much of this spring's prac tice has been devoted to . pass ing. - ROCKY IMPRESSES Calistoga, Calif. (U.R) Jack Stelzner, 85 - year - old former trainer of heavyweight Bob Fitz simmons, was "greatly impress ed" today with the way heavy weight champion Rocky Marcia no handles himself. After watch ing the champ work five rounds in training here, Stelzner said the Brockton blockbuster was a "throwback to the old days of the bareknuckle boys." INDIANS .WIN Spokane U.R Right fielder Nap Gully collected three hits in three trips, including a triple, yesterday as thej Spokane In dians of the Northwest league defeated Whitworth college 6-1 in an exhibition baseball game.

Hat Check FREE for Skaters ROGUE VALLEY BALLROOM eliminate tension. He may have trouble selling this to the Yankees, but .Jack says that what he did for Nixon wasn't "anything very startling." "Willard used to have a lot of trouble in every game because he would fight himself, run out of gas and be unable to finish nine innings," . Lacy explains. "When they started to hit him he'd tighten up. "He also had a lot of difficul ty with headaches at that time," Jack adds. "Whenever they told him the day before that he was going to pitch the next day he couldn't sleep that night. It was all duew to tension.". Lacy Takes a Hand Jack Fadden, the Bosox train er, is a friend of Lacy's. He knew of the work Lacy was do ing teaching people how to relax in front of audiences, and in other . critical situations, and working on. the Shakespeare theory that all the world's a stage, he asked Lacy to tae a hand. "He brought Nixon to me and I merely taught Willard how to use breath control, or deep breathing," Lacy relates, "As soon as he started to breathe properly he lost his tension and quit fighting himself." Athletes, naturally, are under great tension. So Lacy believes that his "diaphragmatic breath ing" would help them all if they took a few of those free toe-rattling breaths every time they got in a tight spot. - Don't think this is a man look ing for customers. He is up to his larynx in salesmen, his chosen beneficiaries, and asks, please, that athletes just get to their deep breathing and leave him to his. But it would be interesting to see what would happen if the Yankee hitters started taking big whiffs of oxygen every time they stepped up to face the deep breathing Nixon. Somebody would be certain to get the air. Grants Pass Tods Ashland SOUTHERN OREGON CONFERENCE STANDINGS W. Grants Pass 5 Medford 4 Klamath Falls 2 Ashland 1 L. Pet. 0 1.000 . 1 .800 3 .400 8 .111 Grants Pass Grants Pass high, playing its first of three Southern Oregon conference and district scrapes this week, broke up a pitcher's battle in the fourth inning to subdue Ashland 10 to 2 here yesterday.

Sugar Ray, Panter Mix Detroit (U.R) Sugar Ray Robinson, who figures he's rounding into shape faster than he anticipated, continues his comeback campaign tonight in a 10-rounder against hard-hitting Garth Panter. And the 35-year-old Robinson is confident that Panter, 10 years his junior, will be another step ping stone in his bid for an eventual shot at the middle weight title. Robinson, who gave up the world's middleweight champion ship voluntarily in 1952 hi favor of a song and dance career, launched his comeback here four months ago' with a technical knockout of Joe Rindone. He's shooting for a crack at his old title, now held by Carl (Bobo) Olson. But he's not going to tackle Olson until he con vinces himself he's ready. . Robinson, who has lost only four fights in a career that started 15 years ago, has fought four times since coming out of voluntary retirement. His ' only loss was to Ralph (Tiger) Jones.- He blamed that loss on not being far enough ad vanced 'to tackle a fighter of Jones' caliber.
