In Competing
Washington (U.R) - White
House said , today consideration
is being given to the. formation
of a committee to interest young
sters in competitive sports
the subject discussed by Presi
dent Eisenhower Monday at his
meeting with 32 leaders from
the sports world.
Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon' was suggested as the co
ordinator of such an effort, but
Nixon, who was present at the
luncheon, said no formal plans
were drawn up.
Sacks Gxtatar Interest
Mr. Eisenhower, a baseball
and football player in his col
lege days at West Point and now
the nation's best-known amateur
golfer, told his guests that some
thing should be done to promote
greater interest in competitive
athletics, both as an aid to the
nation's general health and as
a weapon against juvenile delin
quency. The President said he found
statistics on the physical condi
tion of young Americans "more
alarming than I thought." .
The luncheon guests appeared
enthusiastic about the Presi
dent's idea and Jack Fleck, who
recently scored a major surprise

by winning the U.S. Open golf
championship, commented, "You
can easily see the importance of
this thing, since so many ath
letes from youth programs be
come leaders in the military and
also in civilian life."
Should Help Kids
Tony Trabert, who recently
won the Wimbledon tennis
championship in England, said
the aim of the drive should be
"not to make big stars, but to
help little kids coming' up."
Nixon also addressed that
luncheon and suggested that ath
letic programs of schools be re
viewed to see whether more chil
dren could participate. Along
the same lines, Dr. Hans Draus
of New York university said that
lack of physical fitness could
lead to heart trouble, mental
illness, and other problems.
Archie Moore, light-heavyweight
champion, also spoke
briefly and the glib boxer so
impressed Mr. Eisenhower that
the President suggested Moore
"ought to be elected to Congress."
Trabert Set
To Go After
Net Crown
Atlanta U.R) Top-seeded
Tony Trabert set out after his
second National ClayXourts sin
gles title today against unher
alded Willis Irvin of Augusta,
Ga.
It was the. first appearance
for the Cincinnati star who
swept to victory in the Wimble
don tournament and who is
ranked No. 2 in the nation. He
was expected to have little trou
ble with Irvin.
Won in 19S1
Trabert last won the Clay
Courts championship in 1951. He
lost out in the finals last year
to Bernard (Tut) Bartzen of San
Angelo, Tex., who was seeded
fourth for this year's competi
tion. . '
Also taking the court for the
first time, today was second
seeded Ham Richardson, recent
winner of the Swedish Interna
tional tourney with a smashing
final round defeat of Australia's
Mervyn Rose. Richardson, of
Baton Rouge, La., was to oppose
Sheridan Snyder of New York
City. .
Grant Veteran ' -
A Trabert victory could pave
the way for the top match of
the day from a sentimental
view. Trabert will meet the
winner of the Bitsy Grant-Frank
Herd match. Grant, of Atlanta,
is expected to get by Herd, of
Columbus, Ga., but will be giv
ing away 16 years or more to
Trabert.
The small but spring-legged
Grant, for whom the tourna
ment stadium was named, won
the Clay Courts title three times
in the thirties and was renown
ed for his ability to run an op
ponent ragged with return shots.

Bruno Banducci Handled Unconditional
Release; Was Last of Original 49crs
By SCOTT BA1LLIE
United Press Sports Writer
Atherton, Calif. (U.R) Bru
no Banducci, the .last of the
original San Francisco Forty
Niners, quietly waited today for
another football team to make
him an offer in the wake of his
release by his old ball club.
President Tony Morabito dis
missed the veteran guard yester
day when they were unable to
agree on a contract which would
have been Banducci returning to
the Forty Niners for his tenth
season.
At the same time, Morabito got
approval from National Football
Legion Nine
Sets Picnic
Members of the Central Point
Medford American Legion junior
baseball team will picnic next
Sunday, Manager Alva Perkins
has reported.
A single non-league ball game
with Ashland may be contested
that day at the fairgrounds.
Central Point-Medford has al
ready won the District 44 toga.
It completed its district slate
with 7 to 2 and 2 to 1 verdicts
over Ashland Sunday for a 10
win two-loss record in the cir
cuit. The Ashlanders have lost
four games.
The locals will meet the victor
of the Eugene-Roseburg versus
Coos Bay interdistrict play-off
on the week, end of July 23-24.
First game will be on the north
team's field and the second one
here with a third game, if neces
sary, also here. Play-off to deter
mine Central Point - Medford's
foe is slated for the forthcoming
week end.
League Commissioner Bert Bell ahead of them."
to declare "Bandooch" a free
agent so he could make a deal for
himself.
Under the usual NFL "rules,
teams have to put their dissatis
fied players on a waiver list no
matter how long they ; have
played in the league. There is
no 10-year rule as in major
league baseball. - : 1
To Make No Move
"It was nice of them to make
me a free agent but I'm not going
to contact any other team," Ban
ducci said softly. "They'll see in
the papers that I'm available and
I figure if they want me I'll hear
about it."
Banducci played with the Phil
adelphia Eagles for two seasons
before 1946 when he joined the
Forty Niners, a new team in the
archrival All America Confer
ence. He said he did feel upset
over being cut loose after nine
seasons.
"Maybe it's because I haven't
had time to sit down and think
about it yet," black-haired Ban
ducci went on. "Morabito and I
were about $1,000 apart and fi
nally he just told me 'good luck'
and we parted on the best of
terms." :
Banducci as a car salesman in
the vicinity of his suburban San
Francisco home said "we'll still
pay the rent all right."
. But he added that he figures
he will clear about $3,000 less if
he doesn't play football this year.
He has three children aged 12,
10 years and eight months.
Two More Seasons
"At 33 I still feel pretty good
and think I could play about two
more seasons," Banducci said:
- "But you can't blame the
coaches for starting to overlook
you when they have new young
kids up there with everything
Banducci, -a. great offensive
guard in the Forty Niner annals,
captained the team last year and
in 1953. He played with the
Eagles in 1944 and 1945 after
entering the pro ranks from Stan
ford where he was a tackle with
the Indians Rose Bowl team of
1940. . ..
Lawrence T. (Buck) Shaw, who
now is associated with the Air
Force Academy 1 n Colorado
Springs, Colo., was let out at the
end of last season by Morabito
after running the team since its
inception. The new coach is Nor
man (Red) Strader.
