Simmons Heads RV Entry
In OGA Match Play Event
Entry of Eddie Simmons, the
1954 champion, in the Oregon
Golf association match play
championships this week in Port
land has been a matter of spec
ulation. But there were indica
tions yesterday that the Rogue
Valley Country club star would
lead the delegation of Medford
divoters into the tourney and de
fend his crown.
The tourney opens Monday
with qualifying play.
Simmons could not be reach
ed yesterday to comment on
contradictory reports in Port
land papers concerning his par
ticipation. However, it was stated
at RVCC that he had left town
in the morning.

Philadelphia (U.R) The
Pennsylvania Athletic commis
sion shifted its operations to the

igation of the "blackout" bout
of Harold Johnson and Julio
Mederos.
Chairman James H. (Sleepy
Jim) Crowley, said the commis
sion will study briefs and the
voluminous testimony of nine
days of hearings next Tuesday
and Wednesday and "probably
arrive at a decision by the end
of next week."
The ruling will decide the fu

Tulane Ace Wins
NCAA Singles
Chapel Hill, N. C. (U.R)
Little Jose 'Aguero of Tulane
university whipped Bill Quillian
of the University of Washington,
6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-0, Saturday to win
the singles championship of the
71st NCAA tennis competition.
It was the 31st straight victory
for Aguero, a native Chilian but
now a resident of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil.
The Tulane ace dropped his
first set of the year when Quil
lian rallied in the second set
but quickly recovered to close
out the match with the loss of
only one more game.
The University of Southern
California won the team cham
pionship on points to take both
the NCAA and Aekerman tro
phies. ,
Sammy Giammalva and John
ny Hernandez of Texas were
leading Pancho Contreras and
Joaquin Reyes of Southern Cal
ifornia,! 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, in the
doubles final when a heavy
downpour interrupted the match.
Play will be resumed today.
He heads a Medford entry list
including such standouts as
George Harrington, Phil Getch
ell, Bill McAllister Jr., and Sue
DeVoe. Other R V contestants, so
far as could be learned, will be
Clayton Lewis, Tom MacLeod.
Everett McGraw, Harry Millette,
Larry Buttler and Dr. L. Paul
Walker. Mrs. Maxine Hammond
will join with Miss DeVoe in
the quest for the women's crown.
Mrs. Walker may be an entry.
Simmons nicked Harvey Hix
son on the 37th hole last year
to become the first Medford man
to take the OGR match play
trophy. The oft-time Southern
Oregon tourney champ this year,
however, has been particularly
bothered by an old back ailment
thus the uncertainty about his
entry..
Less Troublesome
It was reported here in mid
week that the ailment had been
less troublesome recently and
that Eddie would try to play.
Yesterday, one Portland paper
stated that .Simmons had in
formed tourney officials he
would not seek a repeat. The
other metropolitan daily quoted
an RVCC official as saying Sim
mons would be on hand to de
fend.
Among the other Medford
linksmen Harrington has often
been an OGA contender. . He
reached the quarter-finals on one
occasion and has won the first
flight three times. He is a for
mer OGA medal play titlist.
Getchell has finished his second
varsity year at Stanford univer
sity and goes to Portland after
play in the NCAA tourney at
Knoxville, Tenn. He was runner-
up for the Western Amateur and
Southern Oregon mantles, last
year
McAllister has played at Har
vard. His game was not so sharp
this spring. But, since he has been
away from his books and he has
been practicing at Rogue Valley,
his game has improved and he
has been playing well.
Last year Butler reached the
third round of tourney conten
tion.
Miss DeVoe was a quarter-fi
nalist last year, losing to Carole
Jo Kabler, to whom she has been
runner-up two years in OGA jun
ior play. Sue won the Southern
Oregon women s diadem in 1954
Three days of women's play
will be at Waverly Country club.
