It is planned to publish pair ings for their action in the Mail Tribune prior to the August 31 date. 9 This advance qualifying ar raneement fon local low handi cappers is a departure from past procedure and is contrary to some reports which have been circulated. For Rogue Valley high handicap men and women there will be the usual quality ing ahead of the formal tourna ment opening date. Southern Oregon's links clas ic is scheduled September 3 through 5. Qualifying Opens August 23 Rogue Valley men not eyeing a top flight spot are to quality from Tuesday, August ii throueh Aueust 31. High handi ran local women are to begin qualifying also on August 23 but Satterfield Gets Verdict Over Valdes Chicago (U.R) Bobby Glea mn manaeer of Cuban Nino Valdes, the National Boxing as sociation's second ranking heavy weight, had an easy explanation today why his battler lost to Bob0 Satterfield. "It was a lousy fight," Gleason said. "My guy had a bad night and he had a eood one. I want a rematch. If he can't lick Sat terfield, I'll retire him." Satterfield, who gave away 32 pounds in weight at 183 to 215 for Valdes, nearly punched the Cuban into retirement in the television scrap. He won a un animous decision with scores. of 878, 98-92 and 97-93 from the two iudees. John Bray and James McManus and Referee ', Frank Sikora. Valdes, the 8-5 favorite, was low, puzzled and futile through 3 out the match. Satterfield, far faster, worked inside and push ed his massive foe around the ring, scoring meanwhile with lefts and rights to the body and occasionally a blow to the head. 3 On Knockdown The Chicago fighter, who has 30 fights by knockouts and Conine by decision, tallied the only knockdown of the night, a com bination punch followed by a left hook to the jaw which bloodied & Valdes' nose and mouth and left him sprawled on the deck in 1 the last round. It was the first time Valdes ever was knocked (goff his feet. It was Valdes' 10th loss in 45 pro fights and though he has scored 23 knockouts, and Sat literfield has been knocked out 13 times, Valdes never came close to stunning his smaller. foe. There were no future plans for either fighter. Valdes had ,been scheduled to meet Bob Baker, rated number one con Slender by the NBA, in Pittsburgh gbut it was doubtful the fight would remain on the docket. And for Satterfield. Manager Ctke Bernstein said, "We'll take (jny thing that Jim Norris offers i&s." o UCLA Football Outlook Not So Bright as That of 1954 Editor' note: This is the first in series on the prospects of Pacific i t'oast Conference football teams for th 1955 season). Los Angeles (U.R) Red San ders, the candid coach who pre cted accurately last year that his UCLA Bruins would sweep to the Pacific Coast Conference championship, said just as staunchly today that the 1955 outlook is not as bright. With the exception of pass snagging end Rommie Loud, the mighty line which packed such Bleat grinders as tackle Jack El lena and guard Jim Salsbury is gone. So is tailback Primo Villanu e.a and quarterback Terry Ijtftbay, the drivewheel in San ders' single-wing machine. Jrjlowever, Ronnie Knox at long last gets his chance to show what he can do in varsity foot ball. The' much-publicized trans fill from California figures to move into Villanueva's position while fullback Bob Davenport and wingback Jim Decker both veterans provide back field experience. The Competition CDoug Peters, an Oakland, Calif, senior, may give Daven port some competition for the fullback spot, while juniors Bob Bergdahl of Los Angeles and Btuce Ballard of Arcadia, Calif. ba:tle for the quarterback job. ganders said the team weak est poks,ts in the line are partic ularly in the tackle spots. Cen tejis in good shape with Steve Pastmer returning. Steve had a grat season in 1954 after start ing out as a substitute for Capt. Johnny Peterson. $he best looking sophomores w '3 must have their 18-hole rounds played by Tuesday, August 30.

A mixed two-ball foursome encounter for adult members of RVCC is set for 4 p.m., rather than the latter time previously announced. Com petition in the tourney is for the Brophy trophies. Low net winners his time will oppose other victors this season in a later battle for permanent pos session of the hardware. A large permanent trophy, kept at the club, is also a prize in the mixed contention. Pairings are being made at. the pro shop. Juniors in boys, pee wees and girls divisions will have a two-ball with tee-off time at 8 a.m. Men's entries already have reached the 192 limit set by tourney officials. Committeemen said they may find it necessary to add one more flight to accom modate out-of-towners who may not have known of the 192 limit If the flight is added, particip ants in the bottom bracket will play split 18-hole rounds, the back nine early in the morning and the front line late in the afternoon. Women's entries are not being limited to a specific number but there isan August 27 deadline for filing. Generally about 50 women compete. A total of 47 men have already signed, indi cating a record field. Prall Entered Registration so far point to a colorful and interesting tourna ment. In addition to the defend ing titlist and runner-up in men's contention the 1955 Oregon Golf association medal play winner and runner-up are entered. Dom Provost Jr., now of Portland, will be defender. He beat Phil Getchell, Medford, in the finale last year. Bob Prall, Salem, won the OGA medal banner last week end, while Rogue Valley Manager George Harrington took second. Sue DeVoe, Medford, is slated to defend her women's mantle. The main contender to dethrone her will be Carole Jo Kabler, Sutherlin. Miss Kabler won both the OGA senior and junior wom en's match championships this year and was runner-up. for the Pacific Northwest Golf associa tion laurels.

PORTLAND LOSER Austin, Tex. (U.R) Barnard Motors of Portland, j Ore., was eliminated from the fourth an nual Babe Ruth League World Series here last night by drop ping a 7-5 decision to Birming ham, Ala., in a 12-inning game. Although Mickey Lolich was the losing pitcher for Portland, he struck out 14 men. Portland got all its runs in the fourth inning. are center Jim Matheny from Temple City and guard Esker Harris of Memphis, Tenn. How ever, neither is expected to break into the first string. Sanders considers the sched ule as about "25 per cent" tougher than last year's, which opened with a romp against San Diego Navy. Tough Start This time the Bruins start off at home against Texas A&M, then go to College Park, Mary land, for what could be their toughest game on the slate. UCLA squeezed out a 12-7 win over the Terps last year and Coach Jim Tatum says that this year he will have his best team in 10 seasons. Sander says his startegy will be tp get by these first two games without injury and then "the squad could shape up fairly well." He will stick to. his power packed single wing offense and balanced line alternated with a short punt formation. Although many quarters say the Bruins will be just as tough as last year, especially if Knox really uncoils, Sanders only an swers "I'm inclined to think our 1954 national championship team was the greatest in collegi ate football history. How can you improve on that?" THE SCHEDULE: Sept. 15: Texas A & M; Sept. 24: At Maryland; Oct. 1: At Washington State; Oct. 7: Ore gon State: Oct. 15: At Stanford; Oct. 21: Iowa: Oct. 29: Califor nia; Nov. 5: College of Pacific; Nov. 12: Washington; Nov. 19: Southern California. MEDFOBNisWrRIBUNS SIPODIffiTrS Rogue Hunters Slow in Applying For Controlled Season Deer Tags Portland From all indica tions the Rogue river controlled deer season from September 24 through September 27 will not have the desired number of nun ters participating according to the Oregon Game commission Applications for the Rogue either sex hunt are extremely slow in coming in, and at the present time only about 100 per sons have submitted requests for the 1,000 tags available. Although the Rogue permits are free, hunters seem to prefer the $5 bonus deer in other con trolled areas, and applications for most of these bonus hunts already exceed the number of tags to be issued. The Rogue river shoot will give hunters an opportunity to participate in an early season deer hunt. Those hunters who are not successful in bagging a deer will still be allowed to hunt during the regular season. Hunters still have plenty of time to file applications with the game commission for the Rogue either sex season. Appli- Ed LeBaron Spui rs 'Skins In Triumph Los Angeles (U.R) Little Eddie LeBaron was hailed today for using his bullseye throwing arm to lead the Washington Redskins to a jinx breaking 31 28 upset win over the Los An geles Rams before 77,935 fans in Memorial Coliseum. The five-foot, eight-inch quar terback threw four touchdown passes and rolled up impressive running yardage last night as the underdog Skins won their first of the last five annual Los Angeles Times charities pro grid against the Rams. Coach Joe Kuharich's Red skins led throughout the game except for a few minutes in the second half. LeBaron shot an eight-yard pass to Ralph Thomas in the end zone shortly before the first quarter ended for the first touch down. LeBaron hit Thomas again in the second quarter on a 15- yard toss for the second of the Skins two first half TDs. Field Goal Vic Janowicz's 20-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter gave the Wash ington squad its three other first half points. Woodly Lewis' 75-yard kickoff return set the stage for the Rams first touchdown in the second quarter. Norm Van Brocklin hit Tom Fears from 12 yards out for a score. Later in the same quar ter Van Brocklin tossed 30 yards to Bob Boyd in the end zone for another tally with only 14 sec onds left in the half. Halftime score was Redskins 17, Rams 14. A 29-yard run by Corky Tharp from a Van Brocklin pitchout after three and a half minutes of the third period put Los Ang eles in front for the first time, 21-17. But LeBaron quickly changed that, leading the Skins in a 72- yard touchdown drive during which he tossed a long pass to Carson for Washington's final TD. The Rams' Bill Wade engineer ed a touchdown drive for the los ers on smashing ground plays, with Towler scoring from 10 yards out. But that ended the scoring.

Studs Play Final 1955 Home Frays Medford's Cheney Studs, rid ing in sixth place, battle this week to keep out of the South ern Oregon Baseball League cellar. The Studs are hosts Saturday night and Sunday afternoon to the third place Coquille Loggers. It will be the last league series for the Cheney nine and its last appearance of the year at the fairgrounds ball park here. . Other week end series are Bend at Drain and Bandon at Roseburg. Cellarite Grants Pass has a bye. One victory is required by the Studs this week to assure that the Medford nine can't share the basement with Grants Pass. Co quille desperately needs a series sweep to keep in the battle for second spot of the circuit. Drain has already sewn up the pennant for the second year in a row, adding the titles to ones pre viously won in the old South western Oregon loop. On Upgrade Coquille started rather strong in the league then skidded a bit but appeared to be on the up grade after two wins over Ban don. The Loggers swept three games from Medford over the Independence day holiday week end and will be favorites again. The coast area aggregation will bring a strong pitching staff here. Hurlers are Bill Pilgrim out of the fast Texas League; Alex Palica with Seattle last year; Jim Lehl from University of Oregon and with Brookings last season and Bob Mallott, a relative newcomer.

(U.R) Gangling Goose Tatum, the world's most amazing basketball player, shook his head nostalgi cally today and said he'd "never play with the Harlem Globetrot ters again." Tatum has been listed as miss ing in action for about two months by Trotter owner Abe Saperstein, who wanted the Goose to sign a 1955 contract. But Tatum, who is living in Kansas City now, has other plans. "Marcus Haynes and I got a new basketball team, called the Harlem Magicians," he said. "We got all new players, a lot of col lege all-stars and we already got 160 games booked." Last of Team With the passing of the six- foot-three clowning Tatum from the Trotter roster goes the last of the team which introduced bas ketball showmanship to the rest of the world. Haynes left in 1953 when he started his own team. Most of the others have passed from the active basketball scene. Tatum, who admits to 35 years, played all of his 15 pro fessional years with the Globe trotters. He started with Haynes, Sonny Boswell, Ted Strong, Babe Pressley, Inman Jackson, and Bennie Price In 1940. Only Pressley remains with the Globe trotters as a coach. - Economy Grade 2x4-8' $10.00 Per M' CHENEY STUD MILL CENTRAL POINT Grid, Cage Arbiters Set CP Session A meeting of football and basketball game officials of this area will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 24, at Cen tral Point junior high school.

MEN'S BETTER 100 WOOL SUITS PENNEY QUALITY is your greatest saving! Veterans Insurance Renewals Possible Veterans of the Korean con flict who lost their World War I or II GI term insurance polic ies because their policies expir ed within 120 days after their discharge may now apply for replacement of that term insur ance under a new law, S. T. Brannock, officer in charge of the Medford office of the Veter ans administration said today. The right to restore the insur ance is contained in Public Law 194, enacted by the 84th Con gress, and signed by the Presi dent on July 29, 1955. Under this law, Brannock said, veterans whose GI term in surance expires after April 25, 1951, either while they are in active service or within 120 days after discharge, may replace such insurance within 120 days after discharge or within 120 days after July 29, 1955, which ever is later. Brannock called attention to the fact that "120 days" and not four months is specified in the law. "There is a difference of a few days that may mean your insurance lapses for good," he warned. Veterans otherwise eligible must file applications, meet good health requirements and pay premiums at their attained age in order to qualify.

That was one of the questions presented by John Pletsch. pres ident of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, yester day in a talk to Medford Kiwan iant at Rogue Valley County club. Pletsch discussed the prob lems faced by the chamber in obtaining sales dollars for its members. He outlined the or ganization of the chamber with its committees funneling activi ties to one goal.

Hie questions include why dollars are jiot being ob tained and who is responsible for getting them. Concerning the "when," Pletsch declared that "putting on a drive after the horse is gone is no good." Stating that something is wrong after chamber activities have been channeled to one point, Pletsch brought up the question of why people are not interested in chamber member ship. Lack of sales, he said, is one thing which creates the problem. He indicated that the chamber does not have the or ganization to carry on out ia the aim for sales dollars.
