Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Coach
Johnny Cherberg of Washington
agrees he is looking for an "im
proved" season over last year's
which saw his Huskies finish
In tie with Oregon State for
last place in the conference.
"We cou V go as high as fourth
If quarterback Sandy Lederman
returns to the form he showed
early last fall," Cherberg says,
even though the southpaw pas
se currently is playing second
fijjdle to Steve Roake, a re
formed end.
Cherberg feels there Is no sub
stitute for experience and he
hs 22 lettermen coming back.
Quarterback , Bob Cox is the
only key player among the nine
varsity men who departed.
Led In Passing
Lederman was leading the na
tion in passing last year when
be broke his leg in the third
garrQ and was finished for the
season. The injury still may
bother him as he looked unim
pressive in springs practice and
wffc behind Roake when the
sessions ended.
However, the Lederman-
Roake battle is expected to re-

Ashand Al Akins, Southern
Oregon College's new economy-
sized mentor, announced Saturday
that he is anticipating a turnout
of nearly 50 pigskin aspirants
for-wis victory-minded Red Raid
ers team at the first practice
on September 6.
According to Coach Akins,
the Jield is in perfect shape for
thevjast, slashing type of game
he wilr employ in the opener
against the - Linfield , Wildcats,
September 17.
"Overall enthusiasm is good,"
Akins stated, "and with two
good workouts a day we should
hang hard and tough in there all
the way out. We've got an eager,
hustUng bal club coming up and
G desire to win and that makes
for good, exciting football!" '
With approximately 16 return-
ing lettermen to fight for places
on the team and with a large
turnout, Akins emphasized that
there would be no sure berths for
any player and that starting
line-tfp slots would be filled by
the men that worked and fought
hardest for them.
In addition to the following
scheduled games, coaches Akins
and Ted Schopf, his hard-working
assistant, have been angling
for another game on October 5
but with nothing definite lined

sume when practice starts Sept
1. Roake's quarterbacking ex
perience may be limited but
Cherberg says it's "probematic-
al" whether Lederman can move
back into the job before his
opening game against Idaho.
Cherberg figures this year's
backfield will be stronger and
will show more speed and bet
ter performance. Jim Suther
land, former California back-
field coach, has joined the Wash
ington staff to help work on
that.
The Huskies' strong points are
in the line where they are deep
in experience and reserves from
tackle to tackle. Week points
are on the flanks and in line-
backing.
Sophs Impressive
Sophomores who have lmpres
ed Cherberg are Dick Day, a
245-pound left tackle and Jim
Jones, 196-pound halfback. A
three way battle for the left
tackle spot may rage between
Day and lettermen Jerry Esser
and Ed Sheron.
"We suffered injuries and mis
haps last year which ruined the
nucleus of a good club," Cher
berg declares. "Inexperienced
sophs had to carry the load dur
ing the last half of the season.
But the experience they picked
up plus the return of injured
men lends to an improved out
look." Cherberg will emphasize a
split T rather than the straight
T which predominated last year
as the Huskies won two games
and lost eight.

Davis Cup
Forest Hills, N. Y. (U.R)
Australia won the cherished
Davis cup Saturday when Lew
Hoad and Rex Hartwig flattened
Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas,
12-14, 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to re
capture from the United States
the big silver trophy emblmatic
of word tennis supremacy.
The doubles triumph, on the
heels of two stunning singles
victories, gave the Aussies an
Insurmountable 3 to 0 lead and
reduced today's two final singles
matches to the status of ; ex
hibitions. Hoad gave the "Aussies their
big surge - when he flattened
Trabert, the Wimbledon king, in
Friday's singles match.
He teamed with 25-year-old
Hartwig yesterday before 10,000
fans at Forest Hills to wind it
up to all intents and purposes.
Bill Talbert, captain of the
U. S. team said he would use
Ham Richardson, 22, of Baton
Rouge, La., a team member for
five years, against Rosewall to
day. Richardson never has play
ed in the challenge round. Seixas
will face Hoad in the first match.

Tornado Grid Squad
To Work Out Monday
Medford senior' high gridiron
aspiriants will open practice
sessions Monday with only two
regular . .starters from 1954
among 19 lettermen expected
to return. .
Head Coach Fred Spiegelberg,
starting his fourth season at the
Black Tornado football helm,
said twice per. day workouts
will be in order most of the
time until just before the open
ing game against Cleveland high
of Portland on September 10.
Listed drill times of 9 a.m. and
5 p.m. may be altered accord
ing to weather and players work
ing schedules.
Attention will be focused on
conditioning and fundamentals
in the early practices. Spiegel
berg said, however, that the
squad will go into some plays
on the second day of workouts.
An offensive scrimmage is plan
ned for Saturday; September 3.
Heavy Task
While the outlook for 1955
is not discouraging, the Black
Tornado faces a heavy task in
defending its District 6 A-l and
Southern Oregon Conference
diadems. Klamaths is rated high
for this season , and rumblings
from Grants Pass indicate that
the Cavemen have their hearts
set on going all the way.
Monte Hoist, guard, and Mike
Hawkins, halfback, are the two
returning regular starters. Both
are senios. They are also the
only two-year lettermen.
Among the 17 one-year men
are . at least five, three seniors
and two juniors who saw consid
erable service during 1954. The
seniors are Dave Drummand and
Jack Gregory, guards, and Gary
Shaffer, center, and the juniors
are Dick McLaughlin, back, and
Neil Plumley, tackle. Availa
bly of Plumley, however, is
currently clouded by illness. He
was a defensive tower of strength
late in the season last year.
Bosworth Back ,
One of the remaining vets Is
a senior who earned his "M"
as a sophomore but missed the
entire season last year. He is
Dave Bosworth who was hurt in
an auto accident the night be
fore the 1954 opening game. He
flashed fine ability at fullback
while, a, sophomore.
Other senior lettermen are
John Bellack, back; Al Board
man, tackle; Maury Butts, Rod
ney Hammer and Jerry Gatline,
ends, and Darrel Ross and Jim
Coleman, guards. The addition
junior lettermen are Bob Apple,
guard; Larry Cranston, tackle;
Dick Copple, end, and Dick
Swinney, center.
The Tornado will draw from
varsity reserves and jayvees to
bolster the squad and a number
of sophmores, from last year's
strong ninth grade club, may
prove varsity material.
Among the top varsity re
serves from last year are Lloyd
Cearley, half and fullback, con
sidered Medford's best passing
and punting prospect, and Eldon
Francis, halfback and quarter
back. Cearley will be a senior
and Francis a junior.
Similar Offense
Spiegelberg has indcated that
the Tornado offense will be
similar to that of 1954. Both T
and single wing formations were
used with unbalanced line. Pre
season indications are that the
Medford club may not pack great
weight.

Pat Lesser
Wins WNAG
Charlotte,- N. C (U.R) De
termined Pat Lesser of Seattle,
Wash., sank her first putt nine
times Saturday to crush Jane
Nelson, a plucky Indiana school
teacher, 7 and 6 and take her
first women's national amateur
golf crown in six tries.
Peering coolly through her
thick spectacles, the dark-eyed
new champion also had a "no
putt" green on the 20th hole,
a par five, where she lofted a
60-yard seven-iron shot into the
cup for an eagle.
It was the first big win for
the 22-year-old girl who came
out of the northwest in 1950 to
take junior and intercollegiate
titles and also win the last
western amateur. The best she
had done previously in the big
national was the semi-finals in
1953.
Miss Lesser's finest shot and
the finest of the tournament,
was a looping 60-foot seven-iron
which she holed out for an eagle
three on the 446-yard 20th which
put her six up. She fell back one
on the 21st when both girls went
into the. trap and Miss Nelson
came on the green in three to
sink a 15-footer, her first long
putt of the day.

Written For The United Press
Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland
(U.R) I've got two strikes on me
but I'm still a long way from
being out.
I know I have polio and I
also know I'm going to lick it.
They tell me this thing may end
my baseball career but they'll
never make me believe it.
Maybe it sounds daffy but I
still hope to play for the In
dians before this season is over.
Thinking of baseball right now
is a little rough, though, be
cause of the pain in my back
and in my legs. But that'll go
away in time.
A little of the pain even
seemed to go away Friday night.
Maybe that was because I was
listening to the Indians beat the
Yankees on the radio my wife,
Lu, brought to the hospital for
me.
